Template for deletion

Friendly heads-up {{Imagemap}} is deprecated and nominated for deletion. It has been superceded by changes to the File namespace and I wanted to let you know, since you have a transclusion on your userpage or user talk.

Orphaned non-free image File:Idee tineye logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Idee tineye logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it 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. However, please note that images 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Cloudbound (talk) 22:52, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

May 2010 edition of the WikiProject Munich newsletter

The WikiProject Munich Newsletter Issue I - May 2010
From the editor This is the first issue of WikiProject Munich's newsletter. The newsletter is intended to help all members of the project to keep up with new developments and coordinate new collaborative efforts.	Other areas where you can help Article improvement drive: WikiProject Munich's Article improvement drive has started and is taking nominations. The decision for the first article to work on will be decided on June 6. Article referencing drive: Has started and is taking nominations. Nominations should be limited to B-Class Munich articles and C-Class Munich articles. The decision for the first article to work on will be decided on June 6.
Project news To-Do list: The To Do list has been started. It is on the mainpage of the project. Task Forces help needed: As this WikiProject covers a very large topic area, it is helpful to have task forces that focus on specific aspects of Munich. Currently, we have 4 newly set-up Task Forces. The 4 task forces are Bayern Munich Task Force, TSV 1860 München Task Force, SpVgg Unterhaching Task Force and Translation Task Force. These task forces are currently seeking members. If you have any ideas for additional task forces, please discuss on the Talk Page.

This newsletter was delivered by Kingjeff to all members of WikiProject Munich. If you do not want to receive this newsletter in the future, please leave a note at the talk page of the Outreach department so we can come up with a better spamlist solution. Thank you, Kingjeff ~~~~~

Translation request -- "Ich war ein Futurist!"

As a member of the WP:MUC language translation task force, I'd like to ask you for your assistance in a simple translation. I'd like to understand this Billy idol interview, "Ich war ein Futurist!". This isn't really related to Munich, but I have trouble finding editor's specifically willing to work with translations, so anyone who seems remotely interested would be of help to me. Specifically, I'd like to find out what content in it relates to the musician's 1993 Cyberpunk album, so that I could incorporate it into that article space. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated!--Cast (talk) 01:53, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

It means "I was a visionary" or something like that, maybe he meant it in the way he was looking to the future ... Maybe you ask someone who knows about his bio because this may be of importance to understand this statement. BTW The interview can only be read for registered users. --Scriberius (talk) 10:56, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Pardon, I know what the article title means, and what a futurist is. I know enough basic German to understand that, and I understand know his history enough to understand that he is referring to his forward looking phase in the 1999s, during his creation of the Cyberpunk album. What I want to know now is what the whole article means. And further, I can read the article just fine without registering. If you would be interested in translating the whole article for me, I could email the full text to you. --Cast (talk) 11:17, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:33, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Art of Italy template

The creators of templates like that need to decide whether they want templates or whether they want articles. Whoever created it had no thought whatsoever as to the way such a massive conglomeration effects the format of the article into which it is placed.

For a start, the reader is forced to look at a series of pics that are not those chosen to accompany the text. They are those chosen by the template creator. The pics that belong in the text then have to be crammed in beside the template or put below it.

This type of template is a flipping, flaming, blinking, blooming nuisance. (Please replace that string of adjectives with all the worst ones in your vocabulary).

Templates that take the form of a list have no reason to be spread out down the side of the page. Templates that serve a really useful purpose and do their job well are these:

Amandajm (talk) 11:45, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I admit, some templates are really big and overloaded. My concern was not to remove template inclusion from single articles while others are untouched. Could we discuss that matter on a broader basis? Thanks & See you around, --Scriberius (talk) 11

Poma

Not sure how you did it, but your use of HotCat on Poma didn't work right. I reverted it because it made no sense. Please try again. —EncMstr (talk) 19:30, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

I have added the category manually. Don't understand why it was red (already 4 years old). It works fine now. --Scriberius (talk) 17:44, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

It was missing the category namespace, but since HotCat always adds that automatically, I don't understand how it could have been omitted. Anyway, all is well now. Thanks! —EncMstr (talk) 18:14, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject C-SPAN?

Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):

• Creation, maintenance, and improvement of articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming.
• Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
• Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at Wikipedia:External links.) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN-742), then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
• Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as {{C-SPAN|laurabush}}, that will easily take article readers to a link of all C-SPAN Video Library links for the person about whom the article is about.
• What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics.

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Gregory Harrison may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s and 2 "[]"s.

German translation and interpretation request

Hello, you are listed on the Translation Dept page as someone who can help with German Translations.

This section, Cologne_Business_School#Ranking refers to a nationwide college rating review, and the pdf is linked as a source. I removed the college's interpretative spin on the results but I am having trouble figuring out what the takeaway summary of the review would be for our article.

Do you mind taking a look? Thanks in advance! -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:53, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

I haven't seen a summary so all the results for one topic oughta be summarized separately.

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!
