• Is this a Deaths in 2007 question? i'm assuming it is and you're talking about the Aussie lawyer as opposed to the sculptor (or BRMC bloke for that matter). If this is the right Hayes, i'd say it was a definitely borderline case perhaps being nudged towards 'keep' for the moment by the fact of some of his more high-profile cases and his murder. not particularly sure either way, tho. are you just seeking opinion on it? best, tomasz. 14:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi, I'm biassed as I wrote the start of the Wiki article. Let me just say that it is huge news in Australia - one of the country's leading lawyers liaising with multiple prostitutes and overdosing on an injection given by one of them. I think it's best to leave things as they are for now. I'm sure there is more to come ... WWGB 03:00, 23 May 2007 (UTC) reply

Hi. You removed the death notice for this person, citing the reason "Vandalism, article has nothing to with Ramsbotham". Although the article was about someone else, there was a reference to the death in the first paragraph. Granted, there are better references available (and I have now supplied one) but we need to be careful before we label genuine editors as vandals. Regards, WWGB 02:58, 9 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Tom, As I wrote in the edit summary with my edit, we have previously used the Wikipedia name for people with "two" names. See, for example, Bruce Bennett and his death notice Deaths in February 2007#24 which are not listed by his birth name Herman Brix. It is arguable whether we should use Stack Bundles' birth name, but that's an argument to be had on Stack's article page. As long as WP editors and admins allow the article to remain under his "stage name", then I believe that we should follow suit and use the same notation. I think that the Deaths notices should mirror the same Wikipedia criteria for naming, notability etc. That's why I do tend to get annoyed that there are so many Deaths notices for people who would not pass a notability test if they were written up as Wikipedia articles. I'm talking about Romanian actors, Czech writers and the like who we seem to tolerate on the Deaths pages, despite no-one in the English-speaking world ever hearing of them!

Thanks for uploading Image:Amanpour.christiane.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 {{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. — Angr 19:04, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I reverted your !vote to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Teargas Ginn. Obviously you weren't intending any harm, but please go there are read the tags at the tags at the top and bottom of the article. That debate was closed three weeks ago. Closed deletion debates should not be added to once they are closed.-- Fuhghettaboutit 12:10, 29 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Thanks Tom. I hope your message gets through. At least is an article is written, it may be tested against notability criteria and stay or go as decided. WWGB 12:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Tom, did you mean that the user templates were out of alignment? If that was the issue, I think that the "proud Wikipedian" template that you were using had a stray "break" command in the code, and that was causing the alignment problem. I have substitued a different "proud Wikipedian" template, and the problem seems to be resolved. Is that what you meant to happen? If I have not helped, please revert my change. I'm still very much a novice in the finer detail of Wikipedia! WWGB 13:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC) reply

One of the good things about Wiki is that you don't have to do everything yourself. I'm glad you agreed with my edits, and I will likely do more in the near future, but other edits took priority today. Feel free to contribute to what I have started. Brianga 11:46, 22 July 2007 (UTC) reply

Dear: Tfmurphhk ：

In the past meet-ups, we always had our meeting in the centre of Kowloon, either Kowloon Tong or Mong Kok. However, apart from these places, I am sure that alternative venues in other region would be suitable.

This is the time for your suggestion! According to some discussion on Chinese Wikipedia, from August of 2007, the Hong Kong Wikimedians’ meet-up would be held in all districts of Hong Kong in a circulation basis.

Here is the tentative information of the first meet-up：

Date：11, August, 2007 (Saturday)

Time：After 5:00pm

Proposed region： Yuen Long

The community would request for ideas of where we should hold the meet-up , in order to have a better decision. If you have any good ideas, don’t hesitate to give your opinions, million thanks!

Please don't hesitate to give your good suggestion to us

Regards,

Hong Kong Wikimedian

Tom, 3RR is shorthand for Wikipedia:Three-revert rule, which basically states that an editor cannot continually revert an article to their own point of view. They run the risk of suspension if they continue. Regards, WWGB 00:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC) reply

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Tom, Sorry to revert you on the Suharto name. As I understand it, many Indonesians have only one name. The term "Haji" means the person has undertaken the Hajj to Mecca, so it's not really a name. I don't know where the "Muhammad" comes from, maybe his father's name. Anyway, I think it's always safer to use the same name as the deceased's Wikipedia article. Are you still in HK? My boss was over there last week. Regards, WWGB ( talk) 10:34, 27 January 2008 (UTC) reply

See guidelines at WP:NCNT. Titles of knighthood are not recommended in articles about non-Commonwealth citizens, for the simple reason that they do not use the titles themselves. WillOakland ( talk) 18:46, 6 March 2008 (UTC) reply

The key word here is "recommended". My understanding is that he does in fact feel very proud to be a KBE.. and uses it. Not all the time, but when appropriate.

That's not a key word, because it doesn't appear in the guideline. It is enough for the article to mention that he received the award, as with every other American recipient. WillOakland ( talk) 08:41, 8 March 2008 (UTC) reply

Will, As demonstrated by WP:MOS

Post-nominal letters should be included when they are issued by a country or organization the subject has been closely associated with. Honors issued by other entities may be mentioned in the article, but generally should be omitted from the lead.

Writers should remember that the meaning of the most obvious (to them) post-nominal initials will not be obvious to some readers. When post-nominal initials are used the meaning should be readily available to the reader. This is most easily done with a piped link to an article with the appropriate title thus:

Joe Bloggs, VC gives Joe Bloggs, VC

ensuring that readers who hover over the initials see the expanded abbreviation as a hint and in the status bar at the bottom of the window. Readers who click immediately on the link, missing hints will hopefully see a short article with the definition clear and near the start. Often one line article will suffice, with appropriate links to further information, thus: Jack Brabham, OBE. (see above in regards to academic titles and post-nominal initials)

This shows that they are clearly applicable in articles even whereby the person doesn't live in the commonwealth Silent52 ( talk) 14:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC) reply

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Phlegm Rooster ( talk) 22:26, 29 June 2008 (UTC) reply

The article on the artist Emilie Benes Brzezinski‎ is very short as it is. I find the information on her son and other family members to be all out of proportion. Does the article really need to say anything about her husband's and kids' careers, when it barely has a paragraph about the artist herself? But certainly, one could just write, "Her husband, [name, linked to article], is a well-known political scientist. Her daughter, [name, linked to article], is a prominent television journalist, and her son, Mark Brzezinski, is a prominent attorney." That, at MOST, is all that's needed. I mean, you've linked the son's name to the article about him; that's quite enough. The reader can go there to find the particulars. And that's true for the husband as well, by the way.

I do notice, in contrast, that the mention of the daughter, Mika, is appropriately brief - even though, as a highly visible major network TV journalist, she's almost certainly better known than the son. Gee, do we see a pattern here? An article about a woman artist, and half of it's about her husband and two kids, especially the husband and the male child. Is there a word for this sort of thing? Does it rhyme and alliterate with sexism? Yes. I think it does.

Come on - half of the article is now about other people. I will think this over for a few days, and then I will shorten this material myself. MdArtLover ( talk) 13:08, 23 July 2008 (UTC) reply

Wikipedia:Meetup/Tampa -- You're invited! Hires an editor ( talk) 01:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC) reply

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Greater China Billionaires, 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.

United States National Archives WikiProject

Would you like to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the National Archives and its incredible collection? This summer, the National Archives—which houses some of America's most important historical documents—is hosting me as its Wikipedian in Residence, and I have created WP:NARA to launch these efforts. There are all sorts of tasks available for any type of editor, whether you're a writer, organizer, gnome, coder, or image guru. The National Archives is making its resources available to Wikipedia, so help us forge this important relationship! Please sign up and introduce yourself. Dominic· t 15:22, 22 June 2011 (UTC) reply

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic· t 21:44, 20 July 2011 (UTC) reply

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors.

We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Thanks for uploading File:Peter Gavin Hall.jpg, which you've sourced to Peter Hall. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{ OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MGA73 ( talk) 10:54, 23 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!

We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.

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.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/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 South East Asia, Japan/China or India 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. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao ^{Che dicono a Signa?} _{Lo dicono a Signa.} 03:06, 21 October 2016 (UTC) reply

You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here!

Hi Tfmurphhk,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC) reply

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
