Tulsa, OK

Thanks for your comment on the Tulsa, Oklahoma article. Please consider chipping in on the article's feature nomination. Just put "oppose" or "support" or you can just "comment" too. Either way, we'd love to have your opinion on if the article should be a featured article. Thanks! Okiefromokla•talk 22:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Good one. Tom looks all professional and stuff. I like it. Philippe 03:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Vision 2025 artice

Thank you very much for creating the Vision 2025 article. Its been a big hole for a long time now and i've always thought it should be created. Any expanding you can do on it would be great as well! Thanks again. Just as a side note, we'd sure like fellow Tulsans like yourself to help out on Taskforce Tulsa articles if you're interested. Thanks! Okiefromokla•talk 04:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Texas Rangers articles

Great work on starting Template:2005 Texas Rangers season game log and 2006 Texas Rangers season. Both articles were on my short list of articles to write, but you beat me to it. Would you mind if I helped fill in the data for the game log? (I did the 2006 game log.) Cheers, Caknuck 02:54, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Great work on finishing off the '05 game log. Let me know if/when you plan on starting the 2004 season. Caknuck 08:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Please use edit summaries

Hello. Please be courteous to other editors and use edit summaries when updating articles. The Mathbot tool shows your usage of edit summaries to be extremely low:

Edit summary usage for Tulsaschoolboard: 26% for major edits and 7% for minor edits. Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.

Using edit summaries helps other editors quickly understand your edits, which is especially useful when you make changes to articles that are on others' watchlists. Thanks and happy editing! --Kralizec! (talk) 16:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:CommissionerKimHolland.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:CommissionerKimHolland.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. Garion96 (talk) 16:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Oklahoma Newsletter October 07

Modest boost in assessed articles during September WikiProject Oklahoma's massive list of unassessed articles got smaller over the month of September, as 45 articles were assessed by bots and editors. Assessments made on August 31 bring the total to 62 assessed articles over the 31-day period. On September 15, BetacommandBot assessed 40 articles from no-class to stub and start class. This bot automatically updates the talk pages of articles included in more than one WikiProject if at least one WikiProject has already assessed the material, bringing each interested WikiProject's ratings into compliance with the assessment. No B-class or higher quality assessments were given out over September, and only a small handful of importance assessments were granted. On August 31, one Low, Mid, and High importance rating was given to three separate articles. Leroy McGuirk was given the lone high-importance rating. Oklahoma categories receive help from Texan TexasAndroid, an administrator, assisted WikiProject Oklahoma by categorizing nearly 100 Oklahoma-related pages on September 24. The additions were made mainly to Tulsa-related pages. "I've done the major cities in Texas in the past, and was thinking about what to do next, and decided to stay relatively close to home for now. Thus OK's big cities got done," TexasAndroid wrote on his user page. Meet WikiProject Oklahoma's "sub-project" Taskforce Tulsa, a collaboration of editors operating under WikiProject Oklahoma, has been created to increase the scope of Wikipedia's coverage of Tulsa and its surrounding areas. Taskforce Tulsa is many things, but most importantly, it is a way for editors to have a place to put Tulsa-related requests (pictures, article, expansion, collaboration) for other editors interested in Tulsa. News, guidelines, and category trees related to Tulsa articles can easily be accessed and added through the task force's project page. The taskforce is not its own WikiProject. Instead, it works in conjunction with WikiProject Oklahoma to increase the quality and scope of Tulsa-related material. Because of the increased clutter and unnecessary waste of space that would be created with a new WikiProject, editors have opted for a taskforce, or workgroup project. Rather than having a Wikiproject Oklahoma banner as well as a Wikiproject Tulsa banner on most Tulsa-related pages, editors can simply add the Tulsa Taskforce note onto the existing Wikiproject Oklahoma banner. Cleaner, clearer, and more efficient. In edit mode, such a banner would appear as this: "{{WikiProject Oklahoma|class=FA|importance=Top|tulsa-task-force=yes}}". In other words, simply adding "tulsa-task-force=yes}}" to the existing Wikiproject Oklahoma banner on an article's talk page would include that article into the Tulsa Task Force. According to an explanation on the taskforce's project page, "The Tulsa Task Force is a 'sub-wikiproject' operating 'beneath' Wikiproject Oklahoma, and is designed to assist it by focusing specifically on Tulsa-related material. Editors who are interested in expanding knowledge of Tulsa on Wikipedia may wish to consider themselves part of Taskforce Tulsa as well as Wikiproject Oklahoma." Interested parties can sign up much like a stand-alone WikiProject.

Average Membership

In the article, Booker T. Washington High School, you stated that the average daily attendance is some figure with a decimal point, when, in fact when the high school template says "students", it does not mean aveerage daily attendance, rather the number of students currently enrolled in the school. --Μ79_Šp€çíá∫횆^{tell me about it} 04:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Edit to CPHS

You recent edit to, Charles Page High School edited a template used throughout wikipedia for high school sports. Just thought you might want to know that those sports are, in fact, considered sports by the ossaa. http://www.ossaa.com/partners/ossaa/sports/index.html --Μ79_Šp€çíá∫횆^{tell me about it} 04:32, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Just wondering...

Hi there. Just a friendly question here. I was wondering where your name comes from. It seems odd unless you are actually on the Tulsa school board. What's the story there? Okiefromokla•talk 02:44, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh, ok. Good enough reason :P Take care. Okiefromokla•talk 21:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

To me, your username implies that you are the Tulsa School Board. The wikipedia policy on usernames (see WP:Username) is not to mislead someone to believe that you are someone that you are not or an organization. You might want to mail an administrator for a name change. Just a suggestion... --Μ79_Šp€çíá∫횆^{tell me about it} 21:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of National Academic Championship

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article National Academic Championship, 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 should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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.

AfD nomination of Matthew Mangini

I have nominated Matthew Mangini, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Matthew Mangini.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Tulsaschoolboard! 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 ensure 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 692 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

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

Turner Turnpike

Hey, I cited some of the material in the Turner Turnpike section, adding two new sources that could probably be used to expand the article in general. Since you'd made a recent change to the article I thought to might take a look and think about how to better use these two sources I've added. One is the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture article on Turnpikes and Toll Bridges. The other is the PIKEPASS website's history page. Okiebradshaw (talk) 20:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Whitesands2007snow.jpg

The file File:Whitesands2007snow.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned image, no context to determine possible future encyclopedic use.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
