Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. I hope you'll stay. Wikipedia is about:

• writing an encyclopedia.
• feeling free to improve articles.
• being civil.
• letting go of our bias.

I recommend:

• the Community Portal, to help orient yourself to various editing efforts in progress.
• the Wikipedia Signpost weekly newsletter, if you're curious about current governance and conflicts on Wikipedia.

Nice pic, thanks for uploading! Unfortunately the oval shape doesn't look too good on wiki pages, do you have the original rectangular version free to upload? - Thanks, MPF 15:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Horseweed

Thanks also for the request on Horseweed - the page is a joke! I'll have a go at getting the two pages sorted. My feeling with cases of common name ambiguity like this, the best option is to use scientific names for the actual pages and make the common names into disambigs or redirects, but I'll do a bit of reading up first - MPF 21:47, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Done! - MPF 23:03, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Glad to help - MPF 16:39, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Cyperus rotundus

Hi Rick - Thanks for the note; looks a good start, I'll have a longer look through tomorrow. "Do you think it justifies a "World's worst weed" redirect?" - I'd say no; that's just an opinion, not a hard fact (several other plants have attracted the same comment! - a quick google search for "World's worst weed" names [alphabet order] Chromolaena odorata, Cyperus rotundus, Echinochloa crus-galli, Eichhornia crassipes, Elymus repens, Salvinia molesta), and generally, it is best to stick to facts, not opinions. Maybe perhaps best to list all these (and any others) at weed and make "World's worst weed" a redirect to that - MPF 23:55, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! Didn't think I'd added all that much! (most of what I did was formatting to get it into a similar style to other plant articles). Sorry it took me so long to get round to having a look through :-) MPF 13:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:Gyorgy Ligeti-from-www.gyoergy-ligeti.de.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gyorgy Ligeti-from-www.gyoergy-ligeti.de.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Shalom! Would you be interested in translating some Moshavim articles? Thanks. frummer 18:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, not right now. Might get to it in a few months time. RickJP 20:51, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the note. The page had got messed up, and I thought I had caught those in the fix, but obviously I didn't. We have a check - the articles themselves are tagged for the release, and we cross check against this - but it's best to have the list right. Thanks! Walkerma 15:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Glass bead

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Glass bead, by Speck-Made (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Glass bead fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

would like to move Glass beadmaking here

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Glass bead, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Glass bead itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:18, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gyorgy_Ligeti.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gyorgy_Ligeti.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. Rettetast 17:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I tagged it with "Non-free media rationale". Is that OK?

RickJP 20:27, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Great, but you have to explain why the image can't be replaced by a free image. Rettetast 20:10, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. RickJP 20:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Canadian Blind Golf Team at Nations Cup - Canada vs USA Brantford ON August 2004.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Canadian Blind Golf Team at Nations Cup - Canada vs USA Brantford ON August 2004.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Carl (CBM · talk) 18:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

apparently that was unintentional. i fixed the link to make it go to an actual article (it was spelt wrong so it didn't lead to anything) and apperently i screwed up somewhere there... LukeTheSpook (talk) 03:37, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

grr. I'm starting to think the Release Version page hates me. This is the second time this has accidentally happened to me.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Western Canadian Blind Golf Association Logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Western Canadian Blind Golf Association Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:22, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Canadian Blind Golf Team at Nations Cup - Canada vs USA Brantford ON August 2004.jpg.

Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

"linked directly"

I don't think it's appropriate to write a commented-out comment saying

"linked directly; please do not change header text"

without identifying which articles link to that section, especially when it's not easy to find out which ones because the number of incoming links to the article is very large. If you identify which articles link directly to the section, then someone needing to edit the section heading can correct the links. But if you don't say which ones, then you're declaring your own particular way of phrasing the section heading infallible and immutable for all eternity. Making articles permanently non-editable is not how Wikipedia is supposed to work. Michael Hardy (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:38, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

University towns in Israel

Hi Rickjpelleg,

I saw that you created the category University towns in Israel, and populated it with every town in Israel that has a university. What is the reason behind this? A university town is generally a small town where the university is the main employer (when counting students as also employed in the university). As such, Israel doesn't have any university towns. The closest to that description would be Givat Shmuel and Ariel, but the former doesn't even have a university itself, and the latter would isn't really dominated by the university, it's just small enough for it to make a big impact (and some Wikipedians would have a field day with the "in Israel" definition).

His Alienated Wife moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, His Alienated Wife, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.  I dream of horses  If you reply here, please ping me by adding {{U|I dream of horses}} to your message  (talk to me) (My edits) @ 08:24, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks, I dream of horses. Expanded and submitted to review. Rickjpelleg (talk) 16:29, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Joseph Opatoshu.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Joseph Opatoshu.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 185.172.241.184 (talk) 11:53, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
