License tagging for Image:Brendasong2.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Brendasong2.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Uploading
[edit]If I upload an image, what licensing would a promo photo from a website be?
- Are you sure it's a promo photo? Most photos on website are not, to be a promo photo it needs to explicitly state that it can freely be used elsewhere for promotional purposes. If it is a promo photo then we will only use it if there isn't an alternative completely free image available. --pgk 19:48, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- The normal tag is {{promophoto}}, include a link to the source of the photo so it can be verified later if need be. --pgk 19:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Copyright Images
[edit]HOw do you add a copyright tag to a image already loaded? Nationalboard 22:00, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Just click on the image, which will bring you to the Image Description Page; there will be a button "edit this page" (like there is on every page); click on it, then add the copyright tag in the box that comes up. To find what code to enter to make a given copyright tag, look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Hope this helps. JesseW, the juggling janitor 22:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Brendasong2.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Brendasong2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

WHAT SHOULD I DO
[edit]{{helpme}} Me and others have worked so hard on the Just Jordan page and the last person who edited it comes in and erases everything.Nationalboard 00:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- Are you talking about this edit? It was vandalism and someone has already reverted it - so the article should be fixed now. You can check out Dealing_with_vandalism so you know what to do next time.--Commander Keane 00:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
- That seems to have been taken care of. You can revert an article to a previous version by going to the history tab at the top of the page, click on the date of the version you want to restore, check it is correct, go to the edit tab and save this version. I hope that helps! -- lucasbfr talk 00:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Locking Articles
[edit]- I don't know, how, but the Just Jordan article needs to be temporarily locked from being edited by new or unregistered users. Nationalboard 13:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have declined the request because there has been only a few cases of vandalism in the past two weeks. You may want to consider using WP:TT warnings on vandals. Reverts will also tell others at a glance which edits are acts of vandalism. Good luck. Xiner (talk, email) 15:48, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Current characters of The Young and the Restless
[edit]A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Current characters of The Young and the Restless, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}}
to the top of Current characters of The Young and the Restless. Truthanado (talk) 01:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Common names
[edit]Take a look at Wikipedia's common name policy. Krystal Carey's article should be titled Krystal Carey because that is her common name, not any married name she takes, therefore her article will be retitled Krystal Carey. Refrain from moving it again, especially in the way you did the move, which ate up most of that article's edit history. That edit history will need to be fixed. Also refrain from moving any other articles from their common names, of course. Flyer22 (talk) 17:30, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hello, Nationalboard. In addition to the note above, let me stress the importance of properly moving pages. Doing a cut-and-paste move like you did with Krystal Carey/Martin separates the article from the edit history, which in turns violates the terms of the GFDL, under which all content on Wikimedia projects are licensed. Specifically, the GFDL requires that all contributors be given credit, which is accomplished through the edit history attached to each page. Of course, if the edit history is on a redirect instead of the actual page, the authors of the article are not given credit, thus voiding the GFDL. If you have any questions, or if I haven't been clear enough, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 01:04, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Project News | Article Alerts | ||
The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 120 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30. A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

New Jersey Collaboration news | New WPNJ members | ||
WPNJ member Mm40 has volunteered to coordinate a new WPNJ Collaboration project. It's been a while since we used the NJCOTW and new volunteers are needed. Join the discussion to volunteer.
Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process. |

Reboot progress report | Help Wanted | ||
The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.
There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome! |
| ||
Editor's Notes | |||
I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller | |||

The Maryland WikiProject has put together a great chart comparing the growth of several state WikiProjects, including WPNJ. Take a look at the chart to see how the growth of WPNJ compares to some of our peer projects. Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist. Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist. |

Wikipedia Release version 0.7 | New WPNJ members | ||
The Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the articles tagged for cleanup, or nominate additional articles for inclusion.
Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended. |

Article News | Help Wanted | ||
Both Jon Corzine and The Sopranos were promoted to Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to Featured article status. Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month, Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.
The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 120 articles that have not been assessed. |
|||
Editor's Notes | |||
Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller | |||

Image copyright problem with File:Mackredranger.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Mackredranger.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Proposed deletion of List of recurring characters in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody
[edit]The article List of recurring characters in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Consists nearly entirely of original research. Only guest stars have any references. Show may be notable but this article doesn't inherit its notability. Unless some verifiable sources can be located for these character descriptions, the article needs to be deleted.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 01:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Education Task Force - The conversion of the former WikiProject Education is New Jersey has been completed. New Jersey education-related articles are now supported by the Education task force. The project banner has been updated to fully support the task force with independent importance ratings. No More Comments - A proposal at the Village Pump has resulted in the deprecation of comments subpages. These were usually found at Talk:Article title/Comments and contained little more than assessment notes. These pages were not widely watched, and are often a hidden location for vandalism and BLP violations. WPNJ has 104 articles that used these pages. A complete list of them, along with their contents, can be viewed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Deprecation of comments. It is up to the members of WPNJ to decide what to do with this information. |

Municipality template compromise; School Districts (almost) complete | New WPNJ members | ||
Legislative templates in municipal articles - A rather lengthy discussion ran from the end of August until the end of October regarding the use of our legislative district templates in articles about local municipalities. Many WPNJ members commented on the concept, and a proposed compromise seems to have been reached. The templates will require some adjustments to fit the new wording, but should result in more directly relevant sections about County, State, and Federal representation in our articles on cities, towns, villages, townships, and boroughs. Hopefully, more dicussions like this can result is some kind of Manual of Style to bring greater standardization to all of these articles. School District articles now comprehensive - WPNJ Founder Alansohn recently reported that almost all of New Jersey's school districts now have articles - "I have created the article for the last missing (non-vocational) school district in the state." Congrats to Alansohn, who I am sure would love more members at the Education task force to help maintain these articles! |

Editor's news. OK, so I am going to try this again. It's been a little over a year since our last edition, and activity at the project was a bit slow during that time. Things have picked up again over the last few months, so once more into the breech I go. I will try to produce this newsletter on a regular basis (bi-monthly?) to see if we can get some more activity going at WPNJ. Help is always appreciated, and there is plenty to do. - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||

WikiProject New Jersey Newsletter (January 2010)
[edit] The WikiProject New Jersey Newsletter | |||

Project News | Article Alerts | ||
New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover. New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT. |
The following articles may be in need of attention:

All BLP, All the Time | New WPNJ members | ||
BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD. An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here. |
Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey:

In NJ, politics means article updates | Help Wanted | ||
New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated. Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well. |

Editor's Notes | |||
Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller See me | Touch me | |||
