Gold Plated Shovel

The description of a person who shows up to move dirt at the celebration of new construction, but is never seen again. One who likes to be seen as one who is involved (especially at photo ops), but actually does nothing. JohnJohnherrick (talk) 16:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Groffdale Conference Mennonite Church

The individual may have been having some fun with you or possibly expressing an unusual personal opinion. The whole rubber tire and steel wheel thing has produced years of conflict within that community; the documented reasons revolve around limiting mobility of self-powered machinery. They do use pneumatic tires on wagons and equipment that is not self-propelled.

Is there any chance you have a picture of a farm, steel wheeled tractor or other good illustration? That would be a wonderful addition to the article. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 12:03, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nevada Test Site photos

I'm glad you enjoyed your tour of NTS but the photos you have uploaded are not worthy of inclusion in articles about the area. Photos with timestamps aren't optimal, and photos with computer-generated titles are sub-par. What really makes the photos completely inappropriate is the guy standing and smiling at the photographer, like the vacation slides of your relatives that you don't want to sit and watch. Please don't put these photos into any NTS articles.

I see your cropped image, the one that has more of the landscape in the foreground. Thanks for taking out the timestamp, the guy and the computer-generated title. Can you rotate the photo until the tower is upright and the horizon is reasonably level? Binksternet (talk) 17:39, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At Yucca Flat, you keep trying to put a single image in a gallery format, and it never ends up working for you. First problem is that the lower case and capital letters have to match exactly with the image file. Second problem is that a thumbnail image off to the side works better than a gallery. It provides a photo right next to the text which the photo illustrates. A gallery is for lots of photos, which we don't have. Binksternet (talk) 19:52, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So how do you want me to help by adding my photographs?Johnherrick (talk) 19:53, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I can teach you how to make the gallery work, but I do not want to see all those photos you uploaded, the ones with a man each one of them. Binksternet (talk) 19:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA Sweeps

Hi, I noticed that another editor has blanked your userpage due to copyright problems, lack of understanding to fair-use images (as shown on your user talkpage), no GA/FA written nor done any GA review. On top of that, according to your contribution record, you have gone on extended leave at which GA criteria (and other project policies/guidelines) has substantially modified during those times.

I'm sorry to inform you that you have been declined to participate in the sweep process because I believe you don't have a good understanding of the good article criteria, in addition to others such as non-free content guidelines. Considering the entire point of this sweep is to improve and uphold the quality of Good articles, only experienced reviewers who are established (trusted) within the project should participate in this initial sweep. It is key that clearly substandard articles be removed from the GA list, while those that are almost there are brought up to current GA standards. The point is to target articles that have "fallen through the cracks", so we can't have any fall through the cracks a second time during this sweep. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 14:52, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are always free to edit and improve the article. It's just that we want editors with more experiences under their belt to do the sweep process. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 01:02, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Hurricane Katrina effects by region

Hmm, that article is indeed in rather rough shape. By all means feel free to edit it — you don't need my permission. :) Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 00:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Question

It's acceptable either way, though we should certainly strive for consistency with related articles. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 17:20, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Dead links

I'm not entirely sure, though it's something to look into. I suppose you could search for the individual titles in Google, but that would likely be quite tedious. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:04, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, alright, sounds good! I was just about to help look for the problem, so it's good to hear everything's been sorted out. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 15:09, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Levy wall breaks

I think either the "Analysis of New Orleans levee failures" section or the sub-article 2005 levee failures in Greater New Orleans would be a better place to put that info. It just sounded incredibly jarring where it was, in a section about the impact the hurricane had on New Orleans. Graham87 15:06, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Roz Savage in Hawaii.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Roz Savage in Hawaii.jpg, which you've attributed to Phil Uhl. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} 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 in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
