Hi,

I have volunteered to be the online mentor for your group (FCC regulations on children’s programming). I will be mostly online between 0500-1800 hrs UTC (about 11 hours ahead of CST/EST). Let me know if you need any help by leaving messages in my talk page or here in this page itself. I have watchlisted your user and talk pages, so i will be notified of any changes happening here.

Happy editing --Sodabottle (talk) 09:28, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Sounds great, thank you very much!

Article

Hello Chriz,

I see you have started on your assignment already - FCC regulations on children’s programming :-). You are doing an impressive job. I have made a few minor modifications to it.

A few things you can do are:

1. Watchlist the article (if you haven't done it already). This can be done by clicking on the star shaped icon in the top menu (present to the right of "history")
2. Format the references. Right now they are plain external links. I have formatted the first reference you added (to the FCC about us page). You can use that as a sample. A more detailed help page is available here
3. Try coordinating your work (research, sources, formatting etc) with your other team members in the article's talk page. That way the history of how the page developed (arguments, rationale, compromises etc) will get documented.--Sodabottle (talk) 08:52, 16 March 2011 (UTC)
4. I have added a few suggestions in the article talk page--Sodabottle (talk) 09:17, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of MSU Longboarding Club

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on MSU Longboarding Club requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:12, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

I can help you restore this page and move it to your user space IF you think it is possible to make it conform with Wikipedia's rules. Do you think you can find citations that will prove the club to be notable? Without proving notability, if the purpose of the page is just to advertise the club to the local longboarding community, Wikipedia is not the place to host it. Read the notability guide and dig up some links to reliable third party sources. Post the links on my talk page, and I'll undelete the article and move it to your userspace. -- ☑ SamuelWantman 08:30, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Msulbclubsundayskates.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Msulbclubsundayskates.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
