An important letter
Dear roads editor,
You may have noticed some changes at WP:USRD lately. Some of them, like the cleanup templates and the stub templates, have been astounding and great. Unfortunately, others have been disturbing.
This has become evidenced by the departure of a few prominent editors at USRD, a few RFC's, and much fighting among USRD editors.
After the second RFC, many of us found the opportunity to take a step away from Wikipedia for a while--as a self-imposed wikibreak, or possibly on vacation.
The result of such introspection was that many of us were placing ourselves in a "walled garden" and on a self-imposed pedestal of authority over the roads department. Also, we were being hostile to a few users who were not agreeing with us.
In fact, IRC has been the main incarnation of this "walled garden." Decisions have been made there to conduct grudges and prejudices against a few valued USRD users with poor justification.
For this, we have come to apologize. We have come to ask your forgiveness.
In addition to this, we hope to work as one USRD team from now on and to encourage cooperation instead of the promotion of interests.
All users are welcome to collaborate on IRC, the newsletter, or anywhere else at USRD.
In the future, please feel free to approach us about any issues you may have.
Regards,

- Hi, SFGiants. It turns out we have a problem. As you may have noticed from the discussion on the project talk page (if you still read it now), your assuming the position of the coordinators in handing out awards in the name of the project is a bit of an issue. Especially considering that you handed them out before we conducted our quality reviews. We had hoped it wouldn't be a problem, but considering reviews revealed that some editors did not earn their awards, you've brought us to a Wikipedia first. We can't just go around deleting barnstars, but they aren't worth much and they undermine the project when they're given out to those who didn't earn them. What are your thoughts? Lara♥Love 13:04, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Welcome!
Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
- Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
- The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
- We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
- We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Carom 21:54, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
re: Elizabethton, Tennessee
Greetings:
You might want to reconsider your recent edit of Elizabethton, Tennessee as the spelling of this section title was correctly transcribed from an excerpt of the London Gazette Tuesday August 6, 1771 pertaining to the Regulator Movement and the Battle of Alamance in North Carolina. A group of the Regulators left North Carolina to become some of the earliest settlers in Elizabethton, Tennessee.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.Bee Cliff River Slob 03:51, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, but I have no time to expand that particular article - try asking at WP:PWNB. There are many, many battles which are not subbed, and I concentrate on filling that gap (or occasionaly, making them GA+ level).-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk 19:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

reminder to mentor
Hola Mentors!
Im sending you this reminder because you volunteered to mentor my students in English Advanced B as they become contributing members of the Wikipedia community. We start working with Wikipedia in earnest next week. I ask you to take a look at your entry in the Mentor Table at Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Mentors
Please update the information, esp. with what your technical and informational expertise is or, if you have decided that you no longer want to participate, please remove your information from the table. Please watch the pages associated with the project. Students will contact you via your user page and as soon as my students have user pages, I will put them on the navigation bar associated with the project.
I don’t need to remind you that your job is NOT to write their assignments for them, of course. I certainly will tell my students that… and the fact that you are volunteers that don’t have to help them… so they need to be nice. If any students misbehave (tho I don’t expect it) don’t hesistate to contact me and I will take care of it. The goal of this project is to integrate successfully into the Wikipedia community. Anyway… what I really need your help with is helping students get oriented to Wikipedia, make appropriate changes and write about appropriate topics (see Wikipedia:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/Syllabus for assignments). I also need your technical expertise… I am only an English teacher after all! I appreciate what technology does for us but I am no technical expert!
Again, thank you for volunteering and you will hear from us again soon! Thelmadatter 20:07, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Thelmadatter

Prod
Spesmilo
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Spesmilo, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of the page. CyclePat 06:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

FROM THE SOUTH
Hi again! I am, Belen from FROM THE SOUTH group, do you remember us? Well, we previously asked you for help in our Advanced English final project. It was required for us to extend a stub or write a new article that does noy exist at Wikipedia, about any topic of our country. FROM THE SOUTH decided to extend a stub. We found Amecameca's page could be a good option. We proceeded to add relevant information supported by reliable sources about this municipality of Mexico. We would like you to read it and give us some feedback. You can check it at>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amecameca
Please if you have any comments or suggestions feel free to write us at our group discussion page at >>>
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:School_and_university_projects/ITESM_Campus_Toluca/From_the_South
so that our teacher could be able to see it and grade us. Than you very much for you time and attention.--Belen Rios 06:27, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Secondly, although the Tag & Assess 2007 drive is now officially closed, you are very welcome to continue tagging and assessing until 31 January 2008. Any articles you tag and assess during this time will be credited fully to your tagging tally for further award purposes.
Thirdly, if you can find the time, it would be great to have your feedback/comments and participation in the recently-set-up Tag & Assess workshop The idea is to see what lessons we can learn from the 2007 drive to make the 2008 one more efficient and enjoyable.

Fair use rationale for Image:KNBR.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:KNBR.gif. 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. Rockfang (talk) 04:17, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:LangBR
A tag has been placed on Template:LangBR requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Challengerlogo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Challengerlogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

I'm extremely sorry, but I accidentally did your range. I noticed that you haven't started yet, so I was wondering if I could move you to the 9500 range instead (or whatever I haven't done). I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience. ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ Drop me a line§ 02:17, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

CACR participants list
As discussed at WT:USRD, the participants list at WP:USRD is being split by state. Since your name has multiple projects next to it, "CACR" has been removed next to your name on the large USRD-wide table, and your name has been added to the CACR specific table. This is part of the lengthy process. If this is in error, please let me know immediately. Regards, Rschen7754 (T C) 05:57, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi!
I have noticed an error in this map, which you have created. The two sections of Pakistan, which should be connected, are separate. Can you fix this?
Thanks, SFGiants 00:32, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Done. The two sections are in the same group now. Thanks for your help to improve this picture. Sémhur 08:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Roosevelt
Hi, there seems to be some general confusion about the pronunciation of the Roosevelts' name, even within the FDR article. I've tried to find a few reliable sources for this info.
M-W gives:
Main Entry:
Roo·se·velt Pronunciation:
\ˈrō-zə-vəlt (Roosevelts' usual pron.), -ˌvelt also ˈrü-\
Dictionary.com gives:
Roo·se·velt /ˈroʊzəˌvɛlt, -vəlt, ˈroʊzvɛlt, -vəlt; spelling pron. ˈruzəˌvɛlt/
Inogolo gives this about Teddy's name:
Name: Roosevelt Phonetic Pronunciation: ROAZ-uh-velt
Notes: There has been much debate about the correct pronunciation of Roosevelt's last name, however, in several letters Theodore Roosevelt himself specifies the correct pronunciation. In a letter to the Rev. William W. Moir dated October 10, 1898 he writes:
- As for my name, it is pronounced as if it was spelled "Rosavelt." That is in three syllables. The first syllable as if it was "Rose."
Note that none of these sources make a distinction between Teddy and FDR, despite the claims of some that they preferred different pronunciations. At the very least, each article should be internally consistent. For Teddy, it seems to be clear that it's /ˈɹoʊzəvɛlt/. His statement above makes that pretty clear. FDR's case doesn't seem to be as unequivocal, but the same pronunciation seems to be the preferred one in most media. The most common variant seems to be the barely noticeably different /ˈɹoʊzəvəlt/. Most seem to cite the preferred pronunciation of the name being three syllables, not two. -- χγʒ͡ʒγʋᾳ (talk) 20:51, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Baseball Newsletter
The Baseball WikiProject Newsletter | |
This month's newsletter was designed and written by Wizardman, jj137, and Blackngold29. If you would like to contribute to future newsletters, please contact the Baseball WP outreach dept. |
Baseball has a history unlike any other sport. It has been played in countless countries throughout the decades, and it will undoubtedly continue play for many more. On this eve, some the finest players the sport has to offer will take the field at the Yankee Stadium. Four popes spoke there, Pelé scored goals there, "The Greatest [football] Game Ever Played" was battled out there, John Philip Sousa lead a band there, George Costanza worked there; but what do all these events have in common? They fail to reach the level of greatness that the baseball that was played there did. In 1923, a man named Babe Ruth decided to build a new house, and over the years, that house was a home to some of the greatest baseball ever played. If I were to list out all of these great moments, it would be longer than the bill for the New Yankee Stadium. So I'll sum it up by saying that we can remember these great moments by adding them to this place we've gathered at for future generations to read about, to learn about, to dream about; but more importantly we can watch tonight and we can remember how baseball is unlike anything else that we will encounter in our lives. — Blackngold29 |

Hello. Just wondering if you would mind taking a look at a collaborative effort I'm trying to start. Any feedback or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! DxNate 16:32, 31 Oct 2024 User-Talk-Contribs
