We do not allow non free images of buildings on wikipedia so your best bet would probably be to go out and take a pic yourself.Geni 01:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand, but this applied even if you have the permission of the person who took the picture?--RedPen 16:23, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You would need that person's permission to release it under GFDL.Geni 19:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. Thank you for helping a newbie!--RedPen 20:16, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to the League of Copyeditors!

Thanks for joining. Please see the project page for general instructions and announcements, including details of our February participation drive. Again, welcome! BuddingJournalist 01:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome. :)--RedPen 22:24, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Belarus

Thanks with what you have done so far. I saw one of the questions you have about the history section; we can use "Byelorussian" if we are talking about the period when they were the Byelorussian SSR. Everywhere else, we will use Belarusian. How does that sound? If you have any more questions, let me know. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 23:48, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Works for me. I just want to make sure the terminology is correct.--RedPen 00:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good. Just keep on working on the article whenever you can, I can deal with the map issues on the talk page. Keep up the good work. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 06:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Persian literature

Dear RedPen!

Persian literature was previously a GA. However it was silent about contemporary literature. I added information about "contemporary persian literature". The section needs copyeditting and also shortening. In case you are interested in the subject, I would like to ask you to help me in copy editting the article. I also posted a request in the "League of copyeditors page". Thanks alot.Sangak 16:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure I'll help. :)--RedPen 15:48, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RedPen! Any comment on my current project? Take care. Sangak ^Talk 19:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposed: The Hard Way (novel) → Jack Reacher

It has been proposed to merge the content of The Hard Way (novel) into Jack Reacher. Since you have previously edited one of these articles, I thought you might be interested. You're welcome to participate in the discussion if you like. --B. Wolterding 16:22, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

League of Copyeditors roll call

Greetings from the League of Copyeditors. Your name is listed on our members page, but we are unsure how many of the people listed there are still active contributors to the League's activities. If you are still interested in participating in the work of the League, please follow the instructions at the members page to add your name to the active members list. Once you have done that, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new requests system, which has replaced the old /proofreading subpage. As the old system is now deprecated, the main efforts of the League should be to clear the substantial backlog which still exists there.
The League's services are in as high demand as ever, as evinced by the increasing backlog on our requests pages, both old and new. While FA and GA reviewers regularly praise the League's contributions to reviewed articles, we remain perennially understaffed. Fulfilling requests to polish the prose of Wikipedia's highest-profile articles is a way that editors can make a very noticeable difference to the appearance of the encyclopedia. On behalf of the League, if you do consider yourself to have left, I hope you will consider rejoining; if you consider yourself inactive, I hope you will consider returning to respond to just one request per week, or as many as you can manage. Merry Christmas and happy editing, The League of Copyeditors.

Hello! There is a DR/N request you may have interest in.

This message is being sent to let you know of a discussion at the Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute discussion you may have participated in. Content disputes can hold up article development and make editing difficult for editors. You are not required to participate, but you are both invited and encouraged to help find a resolution. The thread is "Kava". Please join us to help form a consensus. Thank you! EarwigBot ^{operator / talk} 01:53, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi EarwigBot, I just noticed this DR Notice. I usually only pop in to fix spelling and grammar errors, so I'm not a frequent user. Anyway, when I looked back at the edit history of the Kava page to see what the dispute was about, I found that I was mistaken for another user with RedPen in their username. The DR Notice should have gone to RedPenOfDoom (or however it's spelled.) Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
