Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Since you voted to support, you might be interested in this userbox. Dovi 08:42, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Districts of Ghana

This page, which you created on November 29 2004, has been tagged as a copyvio in December 2005. See the discussion at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/Other. Do you still remember where you got the data from? Lupo 16:15, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have been away but am glad to see that it has been determined that it is not a copyvio. Lists based on publically available information are not copyrightable. Much of the information now, however, has been moved to more specific subpages. Thanks for informing me, Oldak Quill 14:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scientific peer review

Thanks for the notice; this is such a great idea! I'm busy with real life work right now, but once May rolls around I'll have some more time to contribute to this. Awesome. :) S e miconscious • talk 21:46, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adam. I see you do not have e-mail specified in your preferences. Could you please e-mail me using the link in a userbox on my user page? There are some issues re the peer review I would like to take up with you privately. Thanks. --Bduke 09:18, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shifting gears again...can you look at my proposal and give me your thoughts? Basically, we invite the principle 6 science WikiProjects (and I stumbled upon six without the idea of half the board, but that works out nicely) to send a few candidates, and give each of those six a slot on the board. We eiher vote amongst their candidates, or they work it out and send someone. The other six slots is for independant board members. On the other hand, we could just as easily invite the six WikiProjects to send delegates and not give them any head start (but they'd probably pass anyway considering there are 10 unclaimed spots). Seeing as you created this, I wondered if your vision had anything to say about this. I say keep it simple and just have a regular vote, but I prepared the other idea as a compomise with those who wanted something more...bureaucratic.--HereToHelp (talk • contribs) 23:13, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Moon.jpg

Hi, you uploaded the image Moon.jpg, which is marked public domain but lacks source information. Did you take this picture and release it into the public domain yourself? (I assume you did, but thought I should make sure) Junkyardprince 02:20, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I transferred it from Wikipedia. I don't believe it has any source info. Delete it. --Oldak Quill 14:33, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you knidly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 10:17, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think many who would take our side against the menace of censorship do not know about this poll. If you have some time to spare, would you mind posting a short message on their talk page (like mine) to let them know of this poll and invite them to voice their opinions? By involving more people, a larger portion of the Wikipedia community can have their say, for or against the policy. Some places you can go for a list of users are Wikipedia_talk:Censorship#Support, Category:Wikipedians_against_censorship and Category:Wikipedians_opposed_to_censorship_of_the_human_body,. Please check that I've not already posted a message with the heading Wikipedia_talk:Censorship in their talk page to avoid double-postings. If you don't have the time, feel free to ignore this request. Thank you.Loom91 09:20, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fresco of a Greek Symposium

Adam, I had removed the image you readded for reasons I cited on the discusson page of the article. I note you readded the image w/o contributing to the discussion. I still think my reasons for removing the image are valid, but I don't want to get into a revert war w/o any discussion. I would be very interested in hearing your reasons for replacing the image on the discussion page of the article. --Lepeu1999 12:45, 16 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the message. Although I checked the discussion page, I don't believe I saw a discussion concerning this image. If I had, I would have been more diplomatic about this. Thanks for the headsup. --Oldak Quill 14:23, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe, no problem at all. Hopefully two noms will double our chances of delisting this article ;). I'm not going to be able to access Wikipedia much for the next two weeks so it'd be great if you could monitor this nomination... --Oldak Quill 13:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We'll see, I'll keep an eye on it. I think this is a bit of an eye-sore at the moment, especially since it's at the top of the list of featured articles. But maybe someone will come along and fix the problems. Haukur 13:31, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Blenheim

Hello Oldak Quill. I have rewritten the article. It is now a much better and clearer and is now also fully sourced.

Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject Newsletter!

We have a new newsletter!
As you've no doubt noticed, there's a new Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject newsletter, which will be sent out about once a month to all WP:MCB members. This newsletter is designed to perform two equally important functions. Firstly (and obviously, perhaps) it will serve to inform the members of the MCB project of such things as important discussions, votes, and article improvement drives. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, the periodic correspondance will hopefully encourage a greater level of participation from the MCB community by acting as a gentle reminder of many of the the interesting tasks that are awaiting completion. If you prefer to receive this newsletter in the form of a link, or not receive it at all, you can add your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/Newsletter/Opt Out List.
New project feature: MCB Article Improvement Drive
Have any pet MCB subjects that you think need attention? Have you been longing to be part of a team of like-minded editors working toward a common goal? If so, the MCB Article Improvement Drive is for you! On the first of every month a new article is selected by the MCB with the goal of promoting it to good article status. Make your nominations and cast your votes now, because the first article will be chosen on September 1!
Discussion: do we need an MCB director?
In an effort to organize and motivate the MCB activities, it has recently been proposed that a member of the MCB project take the role of "director", who would be responsible for the administrative side of the MCB project, including but not limited to coordinating recruiting efforts, spamming the newsletter, and maintaining the Article Improvement Drive and MCB Portal. A special discussion/vote page has been created for this proposal, and the vote will run until 23:59, 10 September 2006 (UTC), unless the community decides otherwise.
Odds and ends: what else you got?
In an effort to raise our profile and possibly attract some new blood, a shiny new MCB project banner template has been created at {{Template:Wikiproject MCB}}. Please add it to the talk pages of all MCB-related articles.
Signed...

Frederick Eugene Ives

Hi OldakQuill, you started this article in June 2004 and wrote Frederic wit a k at the end. User ChristophDemmer from de: started a German article on Frederic Eugene Ives at de: but spelled him without the k in his first name. His source is

Do you remember what was your source in 2004 when you started this article? THanks for any help, -- Hey Teacher 06:44, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure it came from this collection. The spelling given by Britannica (assuming "The New Encyclopedia Britannica" == "Encyclopædia Britannica") should definately be used. --Oldak Quill 12:10, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just checked the Encyclopædia Britannica and they do indeed spell his name 'Frederic Eugene Ives'. I'll move our article now. --Oldak Quill 12:14, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject Newsletter

The project main page has gotten a facelift!
When people visit the project, the very first thing that they see tends to be the project's main page, and with this in mind, the main page has been completely overhauled. To enhance readability the various "goals" sections have been merged, and a detailed "how you can help" section has been added. To increase accessibility for more established members, the links to any resources that were in the main body text have been moved onto the navigation bar on the right. Finally, the whole page has been nicely laid out and given a nice attractive look.
New project feature: peer review
I'm proud to announce the addition of out newest feature: peer review! The MCB peer review feature aims serve as a stepping stone to improve articles to featured article status by allowing editors to request the opinions of other members about articles that they might not otherwise see or contribute to.
Project progress
The article worklist
We’ve had quite a bit of progress on the worklist article in the past month. Not only has the list itself nearly doubled in size from 143 to 365 entries, but an amazing three articles have been advanced to FA status, thanks in great part to the efforts of our very own TimVickers! Remember, the state of the worklist is the closest thing we have to quantifying the progress of the project, so if you get the chance, please take a look at the list, pick a favorite article, and improve it!
Collaboration of the Month
Last month's Collaboration of the Month, cell nucleus, was a terrific success! In one month, the article went from a dismal stub to an A-class article. Many thanks to all of the collaborators who contributed, especially ShaiM, who took on the greatest part of the burden. This month's Collaboration of the Month, adenosine triphosphate, isn't getting nearly the attention of its predecessor, so if you can, please lend a hand!
Finally...
The project has a new coordinator, Clockwork Soul! The role - my role - of coordinator will be to harmonize the project's common efforts, in part by organizing the various tasks required to make the project run as smoothly and completely as possible. Many thanks to those who supported me and those participated in the selection process.

A tag has been placed on Alexander von Wacker, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Diez2 19:42, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Quill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Quill.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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —An gr 21:40, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the template SLBY talk page you detailed a problem with cataloging years chronologically. Esp with years before 1000 BCE.

I have added a header to Category:Lists of state leaders by year, if you can change the Template:SLBY to include the switch from my example User:Γνώθι Σεαυτόν/15 Hundreds, then synchronise the lists in the category. Then (I hope) the Category will magically be listed chronologically.

An example of where this works good is Category:Lists of religious leaders by year.

The solution is not perfect as I need to sort out how years BC can be included into a template. Maybe you have some ideas?

I am thinking that I should revert soon if a simple soltion canot be found. (Maybe we could make it an additional field into the template eg. BCE/BC)

How do I proceed?
