AfC disappeared

Hi - my submission on HADAS (Hendon and District Archaeological Society) has disappeared from the AfC submissions pending page but I also can't find it it the accepted or declined lists. How do I find out what happened to it?

OK - I found it declined but now I'm confused. Your last comment was that if I put inline citations in it would be fine - which I did. but its now been declined by DC for failing WP-ORG. How can it be fine for one reviewer and not for another? where's the consistency in that? sorry - didn't mean to rant! Is there something I can do with it now , and then re-submit it?

Where did you get the navigation header and the guest book?--Microsoft 1000 Defender and Ruler of Cyberspace! 13:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Adoption

Just out of interest, would be you adopt me please? Thank you in advance. Rock drum (talk·contribs) 17:34, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
PS Please continue the conversation here. I will check it regularly. Rock drum (talk·contribs)

I've worked in RCP and NPP, as well as a bit of writing, so if that suits you, I'd be glad. If you won't be doing much in those areas, feel free to ask me any questions, but it's best to find someone whose interests here are similar to yours, and have experience in those areas. Thanks,  fetchcomms☛ 19:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. Those two things are not really my cup of tea although they may become so later on in my Wikipedia career. I hate to give you more work but do you know of anybody who may fill the following criteria?
-Likes creating articles
-Is interested in doing artistic stuff to their user pages
-Is interested in making userboxes and other templates
If you can't do that I won't hold it against you. By the way, how did you create the navigational menu in the headers of each of your subpages? Many thanks RD-Rock drum (talk·contribs) 19:48, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I can help you with that sort of thing :) But a word of advice, spend more time on writing and less time on userpages (WP:NOTMYSPACE). Anyhow, I'd be glad to adopt you if you choose to accept!  fetchcomms☛ 19:59, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
See the code at User:Fetchcomms/Navigation Header.  fetchcomms☛ 20:00, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I will try to concentrate more on article writing than on User page design. I would love to be adopted! I have added a adoption userbox on my main user page. Rock drum (talk·contribs) 15:40, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
No problem then, feel free to ask me any questions any time. 15:59, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Catholic

OR, you may take into consideration the statements of one who IS Catholic, who studied theology at the University of Notre Dame, who taught religion for two years at a Ghanaian (West African) seminary, and who himself attended Moreau Seminary on the campus of Notre Dame. i do not object to other denominations calling themselves "Eastern Catholic" or "Anglican Catholic": people have a right to call themselves whatever they choose. HOWEVER, they do not have a right to decide what other denominations should call themselves. "Roman" is prefix used predominately by Protestants to identify us. That is not their right, it is insulting, and it is not true. We are NOT "Roman," just Catholic. If you doubt this, merely think of "The Catholic Encyclopedia;" it is not called The ROMAN Catholic Encyclopedia. Thank you. 71.145.146.48

References

Hi Fetchcomms, how many references would a page need. I'm currently working on Vaclav Vaca. It kind of started so I could I could further a work related project but it's been threatened with deletion. I've been told that it does not have enough references. How many should I need? Thanks.

Question

I need to know how to officially post my page, to have it launched, and for a WIKI editor to confirm it?

I need it to be launched tonight.

Here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:AdamHHurstfield&action=submit —Preceding unsigned comment added by AshtonRockStar (talk • contribs) 00:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

AshtonRockStar (talk) 00:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I am affiliated with Adam.

AshtonRockStar (talk) 00:41, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Also, I need to change the name from User: AdamHHurtsfield to just Adam H.

AshtonRockStar (talk) 00:43, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

We need that name changed.

The rewrite will happen. I will check out those links.

Can you please review the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adam_H.&action=submit

AshtonRockStar (talk) 01:42, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I work at RockStar Music Corp. I have researched many other producers that have WIKI pages. What errors are we making and can you help? We have looked at Flo Rid, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri and others, trying to relate our content to their's.

Thank you.

AshtonRockStar (talk) 01:47, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, that would have my boss awhile back. Then the editor then asked to look into it.

AshtonRockStar (talk) 01:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I have redone the page so it is not advertising, to be a Bio. What can I do from here? I understand that page was deleted, some else had posted info about Adam H beforehand, then RockStar has decided to construct a new page we full information.

AshtonRockStar (talk) 01:54, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Amber is sitting beside me. Previously, Amber noticed there was a page on Adam, which she requested to have deleted. It has now been deleted, and I am now reposting a page that was suggested to Amber prior. How do other producers/artists/celebs/authors/movie producers/actors/actresses/business owners/club owners post their pages? We have taken out the sizzle of the bio and have posted the basics according to the Wikipedia standards. What is expected? We were asked to do this when previously posted. So now how do we post Adam H's page?

AshtonRockStar (talk) 02:17, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

These are examples that were suggested to us by a Wiki editor:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jermaine_Dupri

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flo_rida

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbaland

So far our is very basic, no photos/boxes/table of contents/ profile side bars.

UBXs

Hi Fletcher,

With all due respect, why are most of your userboxes set out like this: {{Userbox |border-c = #999999 |border-s = 1 |id-c = #dddddd |id-s = 14 |id-fc = black |info-c = #eeeeee |info-s = 8 |info-fc = black |id = “,;:’ |info = This user is a [[Eats, Shoots & Leaves|punctuation stickler]]. }}
as opposed to like this : {{User:Wyatt915/Userboxes/Beta yes}}.
I ask this because I liked the look of a number of them and wished to use them. I opened up the code to find them like this. I wonder, is there a template ({{User:Wyatt915/Userboxes/Beta yes}}) for them that I could use. Thank you once again for all you help. Rock drum (talk·contribs) 18:24, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I think you should try. Firstly, you want more sources, specifically those other than its own website (news articles, books, journals, etc.). Also, it needs to be fixed in some parts to sound a bit more like you wrote it yourself. I removed some unnecessary parts already.  fetchcomms☛ 23:14, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I would also bring to your attention that I changed Reverend Ted Noffs to just Ted Noffs in accordance with what I think is the WP:MOS preference.

Dot Robot assistance

Hi Fletcher, Could you give me a hand with this page? It's currently located at Sandbox 4. It's about this book. Many thanks Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 16:25, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

The main thing is to establish the book's notability. Here is the criteria: Wikipedia:Notability (books). Basically, if you have lots of reliable sources, or it has won an award, it is notable.  fetchcomms☛ 01:35, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

DYK for Anemone hupehensis

Updated DYK query On January 16, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Anemone hupehensis, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

WikiCup 2010 and Dermatology-related content

I noticed that you are participating in the 2010 WikiCup. I have been working on the Bolognia push which is a project to make sure Wikipedia has an article (or redirect) on every know cutaneous condition. With that being said, there are still many cutaneous condition stubs to be made, and Bolognia could be a source for a lot of DYK articles, etc. Therefore, I was thinking maybe we could help one another... a competative WikiCup that also serves to improve dermatologic content on Wikipedia. I could e-mail you the Bolognia login information if you have any interest? ---kilbad (talk) 16:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Banners

Hey Fletcher, can you teach me how to make banners please? Many thanks. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 19:34, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Like WikiProject banners, or Wikipedia ads, or template tags?  fetchcomms☛ 19:42, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Wikipedia ads. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 20:24, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
All you need to do is make an animation (gif file) with the correct size and the desired text and images. Then you can upload it and add the image to the ads template, Template:Wikipedia ads.  fetchcomms☛ 22:21, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
Cheers. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 17:22, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
I know how to add them to a page but how would I actually make them on my computer. I've looked at this but don't understand a word of it. Sorry. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 17:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
You make a gif file using an image editor, like Gimp. (If you've never used Gimp or Photoshop, this will be difficult to understand.) Basically, you can save "layers", or different images, and combine them into 1 file that loops into an animation. Then you just upload it and add it to the template.  fetchcomms☛ 20:04, 18 January 2010 (UTC)
Thanks. I'll try that. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 17:11, 19 January 2010 (UTC)

Editor reviews

It's great that you are doing some reviews - the more reviewers the better! However, could you please remember to remove the asterisk in the review's heading? For example:

===[[Wikipedia:Editor review/User|User]]<!--REMOVE THIS ASTERISK WHEN YOU REVIEW.-->*===

should become

===[[Wikipedia:Editor review/User|User]]===

Warning vandals

Hi Fletcher, I'd like to warn a vandal. He's quite new and I've helped him with some stuff but he recently made this rather unconstructive edit. I'm not sure what wording to use. Many thanks. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 16:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

I would say it was him trying to be funny... but that such things are not tolerated? Perhaps "Please do not make unhelpful edits to other pages" and then something about more writing or reading the guidelines?  fetchcomms☛ 16:47, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
OK, thanks for your advice. Rock drum (talk·contribs·guestbook) 16:49, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

How to mark non funny humors? As long as I know, there is no such auto tags in twinkle.

thank you.

I am a primary source. I have secondary sources but even historians agree that photos were mislabeled and sold at the time. The best I can do is show where the errors are and link to the source but I need a place in which to explain this because these errors are not readily noticeable by people who don't know the history.

Speedy deletion contested: Kyarumba islamic centre secondary school

Hello Fetchcomms. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Kyarumba islamic centre secondary school, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 does not apply to schools. Thank you. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 01:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Architecture images

Hi Fetchcomms! I saw your FP nomination for the "Night view of the Clinton Presidential Library" which I found quite compelling. Also noticed that you're interested in architecture. Thus I would like to invite you to join the Architecture WikiProject, which provides a good platform for improving architecture related articles. There is a great need for good architectural images, to illustrate and promote architecture related articles. The Architecture Bulletin at the top of the WikiProject page is meant to inform about current nominations. If you make a nomination please feel free to add it to the bulletin so that you can get broader feedback. There are currently a larger number of Valued Picture candidates Q-ing for feedback. If you have time and would like to be involved in any of these projects, your participation would be welcomed. Elekhh (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

WikiCup 2010 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. We've had some shakeups regarding late entries, flag changes and early dropouts, but the competition is now established- there will be no more flag changes or new competitors. Congratulations to Hungary Sasata (submissions), our current leader, who, at the time of writing, has more listed points than Pennsylvania Hunter Kahn (submissions) and New Orleans TonyTheTiger (submissions) (second and third place respectively) combined. A special well done also goes to Isle of Man Fetchcomms (submissions)- his artcle Jewel Box (St. Louis, Missouri) was the first content to score points in the competition.

Around half of competitors are yet to score. Please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. 64 of the 149 current competitors will advance to round 2- if you currently have no points, do not worry, as over half of the current top 64 have under 50 points. Everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places in round 2! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, by email or on IRC. Good luck!
