Totalitarianism

Request taken from Miranda's page per her busy schedule and personal request.

hey, we just created the totalitarianism wikiproject. Our logo is available on our project page. It would be cool if u could toss in a quote from orwell like: "All Wikipedians are equal, but some are more equal then others.... They are the ones who contribute to wikipedia's Totalitarianism Articles!" Thanks, Wikipedia:WikiProject Totalitarianism Paco8191 21:20, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - Busy. Sorry. Please ask someone else. Miranda 22:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - I'll throw something together for you :). I'll see if I can whip it up sometime between today and Friday.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 02:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request fulfilled. Ad can be found here.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 05:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism tools

I'm surprised that there is no ad about vandalism tools. One can be be found here. I'm thinking of an ad like this:
Screen1: Like to revert?
Screen2: Need a quick tool?
Screen3: Click here for a list of them!
And have it link to:
Category:Wikipedia counter-vandalism tools Coaster geekperson 04 00:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - I looked through the ad nav box and noticed one for how to deal with vandalism but an ad about the popular tools would certainly help. I'll see if I can put something together in 1-3 days.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 01:16, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request fulfilled. Ad can be found here.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 03:17, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA Banner

If it is possible can you please create a Good article Wiliproject banner for {{Wikipedia ads}}. Some suggestions would include helping to make wikipedia a better and higher quality encyclopedia. Tarret 22:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - This ad mentions the value of contributing to both FA articles and good articles.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 09:25, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Scottish Islands

Hello. Could you please create an ad for this newish wikiproject. This aims to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the islands of Scotland. This image is used on scottish islands infoboxes, and may help in the creation of the ad. Lurker (said · done) 18:00, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - Sure I can make one for that project. Ad will be finished anywhere between 1-3 days.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:24, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Powderfinger

If possible, could we get an add for WikiProject Powderfinger? Thanks in advance! Dihydrogen Monoxide 02:55, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - Sorry can't do this one. See Miranda's explanation as to why.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 03:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Bangladesh and WikiProject Israel

The former, The latter Can you please do these? What software do you use to make these? Æe tlr Cre ejl 04:50, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - I'll complete the ads anywhere from 1-5 days (a bit busy this week). I use Adobe Photoshop CS and Adobe ImageReady CS to create the ads.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 17:40, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. Æe tlr Cre ejl 21:54, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject External links

This is a semi-inactive project, and I'm really interested in reviving it. I am trying to get people together to help out, and I think that an ad would really help to raise awareness. Also, not to be picky, but could it have Image:External.svg in it? Thanks so much for your help, Arky ^¡Hablar! 02:20, 16 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - Sure I can do this one and I'll try to insert Image:External.svg as well. Request will be completed anywhere from 1-5 days (due to an unpredictable schedule this week).¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help!! Arky ^¡Hablar! 21:25, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could you make it link to the project page? Thanks, Arky ^¡Hablar! 20:06, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ummm, the way that Wikipedia ads template works is that where ever the ad is displayed it will automatically link to the project page once its clicked. The only place that this function will not exist is on the image page itself.

Edit: I just noticed you are placing the image directly...the image must be spawned by the {{wikipedia ads}} template, not hard linked to the image.

Edit #2: After digging around a bit I finally found out a way. Another way to retain the link ability (besides using the click code method you came up with), is by using the using the following code:

<imagemap>
 Image:Qxz-ad92.gif|left|Wikipedia:WikiProject External links
 default [[Wikipedia:WikiProject External links|Wikipedia:WikiProject External links]]
 desc none
</imagemap>

As much as I love fooling around with templates, I'm no expert and I often have to correct myself :P...Note: to change the alignment of the image you can change the part that says left to right or center.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 20:17, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ad for Migrating Muni images to Wikimedia Commons

Hi, I would like to request an ad for volunteers to migrate images from this page to Wikimedia Commons because in recent times, the page has almost turned into a rail-foamer's page. Your help is appreciated, if you want to. Thanks!

Goodshoped35110s 01:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO, this will be too limited to moving images of ONE group to commons rather than a whole set of images. We already have an image related to commons. However, if PPG or I were to make an ad, the focus would be on moving entire GFDL images to Commons, not just one project. M.^(er) 05:56, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Declined - unfortunately it is rather too limited for an ad. If it was a WikiProject for migrating images to Commons or the practice of migrating images to Commons then it would most likely be more doable.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:33, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Nova Scotia

There are a few members of the project already, but not many that are regularly editing. I would like to recruit! Here is the project, and these images might be useful.
Image:Flag_of_Nova_Scotia.svg, Image:Ns-CoatOfArms.jpg, Image:Bluenose.png

Thanks! Andrew⁶⁴⁷ 19:12, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Image:Ns-CoatOfArms.jpg, Image:Bluenose.png~~ - can't be done, because they are copyrighted images. However, the flag can be done. ~~I can do this if PPG doesn't mind, because I am kind of bored.~~ M.^(er) 09:24, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have already done an ad for Engineering, sorry. Mirandargh 02:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't follow... Andrew⁶⁴⁷ 02:06, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - I will be able to create this ad with flag image. Ad will be completed anywhere from 1-7 days.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 03:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome, thanks very much! Andrew⁶⁴⁷ 03:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Dravidian civilizations ad

Hi

We are looking for more members to join to improve the coverage of Dravidian related articles from South Asia. I would like to respectfully place a request for an add for our Dravidian civilizations. The map on that page including the light blue color and greetings in Tamil, Malayalam, and Telugu fonts could be used for the intro followed by the usual comments like the other ads for other projects. Thanks. Wiki Raja 06:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

~~Declined~~ - Sorry, the only problem with this request is the project is too specialized. Typically ads are created for the WikiProjects that cover the country of origin of the civilization or its people. For example, we have an ad for WikiProject Aghanistan rather than having one for the specialized Pashtun WikiProject.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 18:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ad for WikiProject Melanesia which covers several countries which are composed of Melanesians such as Fiji, East Timor, Solomon Isles and much more. That project is about articles pertaining to the Melanesian family of ethnicities. Similarly, WikiProject Dravidian civilizations is about covering the Dravidian family of ethnicities which are spread out in Southern India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, and parts of Pakistan. Furthermore, there is also an ad for WikiProject European Union. Wiki Raja 20:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True, I'll think about it. However, creating ads for WikiProjects that are specialized are not always encouraged. After I finish the request above, I will let you know if I will withdraw the decline and reconsider to accept the request.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 01:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Wiki Raja 01:50, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - I have reconsidered. Will complete this ad in 1-7 days!¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Great! Thank you so much. Wiki Raja 02:45, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Greater Manchester

Hey! I am just putting in a request to you for an ad to promote the Wikipedia:WikiProject Greater Manchester! We have quite a few members who are active but most want more members so we can cover a wider range of topics relating to Greater Manchester and specifically the city of Manchester. With a population of around 2.5million I am sure there are people out there who want to contribute to our project. If you need any questions answered then please just post them on the project talk page as many of the regular editors including me have it on our watchlist. Thanks alot and hope to hear from you soon! _└^and-rew_┘^┌_talk^┐ 14:57, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Accepted - Though the scope of this project is steering toward specialized (like the request above), I've looked throughout the ad template and see we even have an ad for the Erie, PA WikiProject. The waiting period might be a bit long though. Ad's construction will take anywhere from 1-14 days. If I complete the above request and this request at the same time it will be much shorter. My apologies for the long duration, I've been working on a major 5 page essay assignment for my ENG 101 class.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:36, 6 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, thank you! And good luck with your assignment. _└^and-rew_┘^┌_talk^┐ 01:02, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey just wondering how long you are going to be now as it has been almost 14 days since you accepted the request? _└^and-rew_┘^┌_talk^┐ 15:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm about to get started on the request. May be completed by today or tomorrow.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 21:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Request fulfilled. Ad can be viewed here.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 22:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
