Adoption assessment log

Just a quick note, the log shows what was changed from day to day. You still have the totals, but they do not show how people have worked on the articles. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 21:08, 25 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Foster care

This borders on recruitment, or whatever it is called. The two editors and myself have been having a discussion on the talk page of Foster care. Without going into specifics, it appeared to me, that, at best, the articles regarding tiny parts of the world (Oregon, for example} should be placed ihto a separate article, at best. It is distracting to have stuff not really related to foster care in the article. As I mentioned, the editors are used to "place" articles, where everything is automatically put into the article.

This is not the case with concept articles like foster care, or policy, or whatever. Nothing wrong with summarizing and pointing. They naively consider this "censorship" which is furthest from my heart since I have no great love for this topic, as a topic per se. Only stumbled on it a month or two ago and forgot to remove it from my watchlist. Now reluctant to go until more than one veteran editor can help watch it!

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.

File source problem with File:Orphan Train William Thomas.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Orphan Train William Thomas.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of File:AdopteeReunion.jpg

The file File:AdopteeReunion.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused personal photo. Out of scope.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 15:22, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
