Have a look at the article now. It's been separated as discussed. I have also added a bunch of new information to it. However, it's missing some things; in particular, a historical perspective. If you have (or know where to find) any materials on that subject, please add them or let me know where/what they are. Cheers. Cacetudo 13:20, 11 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Insignia work

edit

Just wanted to say thanks and great job on the insignia's that you have recreated so far. It is something that has been needed for awhile, we just never had anyone with the skill that was interested enough to do it. If you are looking for some insignias that could use some work I would recommend taking a look at List of inactive United States Marine Corps aircraft squadrons. Almost every insignia on that page could stand to be upgraded. Thanks again for the work and if there is any help or info I can provide please let me know.--Looper5920 (talk) 17:02, 18 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • No problem. I consider it a hobby and enjoy restoring historic military insignia through high-resolution means. I've noticed the page you mentioned and plan on scouring it, picking out insignia and creating high-resolution renderings of them. I'm going to have a significant amount of (much needed) downtime from schoolwork, so I plan on covering as much as I can. Thanks again. CrimsonScholar 17:13, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

License tagging for File:69thInfantryBrigade.svg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:69thInfantryBrigade.svg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Harvard. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge (including Harvard), which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

Survey

edit

Hi CrimsonScholar!

I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!

It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!

Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!

Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Orphaned non-free media (File:Gretsky.png)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Gretsky.png. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
