Welcome!

edit

WELCOME!! Hello, Athena2006! I want to personally welcome you on behalf of the Wikipedia community. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you haven't already, you can put yourself in the new user log and the list of users so you can be properly introduced to everyone. Don't forget to be bold, and don't be afraid of hungry Wikipedians...there's a rule about not biting newcomers. Some other good links are the tutorial, how to edit a page, or if you're really stuck, see the help pages. Wikipedia is held up by Five Pillars...I recommend reading about them if you haven't already. Finally, it would be really helpful if you would sign your name on talk pages, so people can get back to you quickly. It's easy to do this by clicking the button (next to the one with the "W" crossed out) one from the end on the left. If that's confusing, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop me a at my talk page (by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the tab at the top that says "edit this page")...and again, welcome!--ViolinGirl 01:20, 27 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Looks like you've been a great contributor so far. Feel free to ask me a question any time, if you need it, although it looks like you're going to do fine on your own. Have a terrific day!--ViolinGirl 01:05, 29 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks

edit

Thank you for following Wikipedia guidelines concerning the page Normal (2003). We all make mistakes from time to time, and you have seriously helped out a lot of people by doing a little grunt work on your own. Seeing as how you already have an understanding of the AFD page, perhaps you would like to look into joining the Recent Changes Patrol, the Counter-Vandalism Unit, or several other Wikipedia projects. Also, please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you might have at any point by simply leaving me a message on my talk page, to which I will probably respond almost immediately. Thanks again and happy editing! JHMM13 (T | C)     20:17, 28 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Normal (film)

edit

I'm relying on the IMDB listings to sort stubs, and the listing for Normal [1] has it as both a drama and a comedy, which usually indicates a black comedy, which to me should go in with the comedy stubs. I've never seen the movie, so I can't speak to that. Kerowyn 05:36, 31 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for "Susan's Place"

edit

You are welcome, that's why I run it, for people like yourself. I noticed on your page there was no link to my site. I would appreciate if you would consider putting one. To add one to your website on mine simply go to the category your link fits in and click add url. I review them every month or so! I enjoyed reading your site and hope you will consider saying hello on the site sometimes :) TTFN -- SusanLarson (User Talk, New talk, Contribs) 03:20, 2 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I saw your edits to List of LGB people and Normal, and thought you might be interested in joining WikiProject LGBT studies. We're expanding rapidly and would be delighted to welcome you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:16, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Welcome!

Hi, Athena2006, welcome to WikiProject LGBT Studies!

We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying, categorizing, and improving articles of interest to the LGBT community. Some points that may be helpful:

  • Our main aim is to help improve LGBT-related articles, so if someone asks for help with an article, please try your hardest to help them if you are able.
  • Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
  • The project has several ongoing and developing activities, such as article quality assessment, and a project-wide article collaboration, both of which you are welcome to take part in. We also have a unique program to improve our lower quality articles, Jumpaclass, so please consider signing up there.
  • If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to our translation section, to help us improve our foreign LGBT topics.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.

And once again - Welcome!

I look forward to working with you! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 23:38, 21 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

The LGBT studies WikiProject Newsletter!
Issue III - February 1, 2007

Announcement: If someone requests help or feedback on an article, please try your hardest to help them out if you are able. Thank you.

Project News
  • The LGBT Portal has once again been revamped and a work rota started. Efforts towards Featured Portal status are slowly coming together.
  • The assessment system has been a great success, we have tagged over 4000 articles! Please tag any LGBT related articles you come across by adding {{LGBTProject | class=}} to the talkpage. Please see the Assessment Department for how to assess an article according to the grading system.
  • The Translation department has changed its focus, to LGBT articles about non-English topics and people on which there may be more information on the relevant foreign Wikipedia. Please add your name if you are fluent in any language other than English.
  • Jumpaclass is picking up slowly, with nine people having entered. With over 2000 stubs we need to improve our article quality. Please sign up and get it going! Challenge another user to see how far you can jump a stub!
  • There is an ongoing discussion about the current LGBT categorisation system here, here, and a little bit here. A special page has now been set up here to deal with this.
  • A Watchlist has been set up to monitor controversial and/or highly vandalised articles. It can also be used for article disputes, just add a note explaining the nature of the dispute.
  • With the influx of so many active members, there is now enough support for a LGBT studies peer review, which may be found here. It's in the beta phase at the moment, so bear with us if we make any mistakes. Feel free to peer review any articles you have been working on.
  • It was agreed this month to start reducing the uses of the Notice board, as many members felt that it was not effective. An open tasks template has been created, bringing together important announcements, FAC/FARs, Peer reviews, XfDs, the COTM, and requested articles. You may desire to watchlist it. A Deletion sorting subpage is also now working to bring together XfDs - this should be bot-driven, but we have not currently tagged enough articles to make this fully automated, so please update the list with any LGBT-related XfDs you come across.

License tagging for Image:Helen and Betty in 2005.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Helen and Betty in 2005.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. 21:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Normal.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Normal.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 17:23, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Normal.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Normal.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Betty Crow

edit
 

The article Betty Crow has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP seems highly un-notable

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. - Schrandit (talk) 06:11, 1 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Helen and Betty in 2005.jpg

edit
 

Thank you for uploading File:Helen and Betty in 2005.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 website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Logan Talk Contributions 00:11, 26 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
