KGF~enwiki

Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, KGF~enwiki, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.

If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia are the primary goals and most important rules that we follow.
• These help pages are important if you'd like to learn more about specific processes.
• The tutorial is a hands-on approach to learning all about editing.
  • For a "crash course" in editing, head on over to Redwolf24's Bootcamp!
• Writing a great article is a noble accomplishment. An article you start might end up on the Main Page!
• The Manual of style is an in-depth group of pages that will teach you how to make articles look their very best.

I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing!  --Merovingian (t) (c) (e) 12:34, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Codeshares

Hello. It is found [here]. Look at the bullet where it says "Destinations" and it says that the list should not include the TTTTsecondary carrier for codeshares. It has been a consensus here that we do not list codeshares since it is redundant, and the cities that are listed here should only be the cities where the airline's actual metal fly to. Elektrik Blue 82 20:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I think you have not answered my question exactly.

Which part of "Wikiproject Airport" do you mention about? 

As you may know, dab convention in the "Airport" wikiproject seems to be inconsistant with your premise based on the "Airlines" wikiproject convention. I think you should take proper processes such as discussing the matter on the Wikiproject Aiport's discussion page and so on, before you reverse boldly. What you did does not seem to be "productive". Thank you. KGF 02:20 08 May 2006 (UTC)

If you want to nitpick, then yes, I was mistaken by referring you to the "Airports" project, but the guidelines that Wikipedia follows are delineated in the "Airlines" project, where I cited the URL, repeating it here. Look at other airport articles, the codeshares are not listed. Elektrik Blue 82 01:31, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I don't think "not listed" guarantees your right to reverse the article "immediately". "Not listed" means "room" for improvement through discussion. Do you agree, Mister? You may bring this matter on the discussion page of WikiProject Aiports first before reversing this specific article only. Thank you KGF 02:50 08 May 2006 (UTC)

You may bring this matter on the discussion page of WikiProject Airports first before adding codeshares on this specific airport only. Elektrik Blue 82 01:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi. It is your responsibility to do that because you reverse the articel based on "another WikiProject" conventions (where is your credibility? It's not just "nitpick", rather crucial). I just updated the article based on "dab" convention of WikiProject Aiports. And if you have any objections, please bring this matter on the discussion page of WikiProject Aiports first before reversing it. KGF 03:15 08 May 2006 (UTC)

3RR

Regarding Kansai International Airport: Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia under the three-revert rule, which states that nobody may revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you. Dbinder 09:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Bbl.jpg)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bbl.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 07:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Coatofarms kwansei.png, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 13:34, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Bluewave.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bluewave.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 19:23, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Bbl.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Bbl.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:09, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Single User Login

Hi KGF, I am a user of german Wikipedia who has the same username as you (see here). If there will be a Single User Login für all platforms, we should think about what would happen to our "concurring" usernames. Any suggestions? Greetings, KGF via 91.97.71.210 20:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

An exciting opportunity to get involved!

As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis ^contribs 05:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello KGF! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 710 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. Kazuo Hiramatsu - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Your account will be renamed

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called KGF. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name KGF~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours,
Keegan Peterzell
Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation

If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: Special:GlobalRenameRequest. -- Keegan (WMF) (talk)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
