Mentoring "Broadband.gov"

edit

Hi Collin! I'm Manishearth, one of the Online Ambassadors here at Wikipedia. I'll be mentoring your group (Group 3: Broadband.gov). Feel free to notify me on my talk page if you need assistance. Good luck! ManishEarthTalkStalk 08:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Reply


Broadband.gov Project

edit

Broadband.gov is a website devoted to the consumers that are looking for information about the Broadband access around the country. The FCC has started to put together the National Broadband Plan to show the progress and the future of the nation's broadband access and use. The Plan outlines the different areas broadband affects and how there is room for improvement by using it more wisely.

The website also offers resources for consumers to see the local affects of broadband. These resources include a Quality Test, Deadzone Reporter, Spectrum Dashboard(runs off another site), and a link to the broadband map.gov. With these resources a consumer can find out if they have a good access and if not can report the deadzone. The Spectrum Dashboard allows consumers to see how the radio spectrum is being divided and used in the best ability.

There is also a section of the website that gives information about broadband and what it actually is and how we use it. In this section there is the legal framework, the reports of the development of the National Broadband Plan, and the basic overview of what broadband actually is and how we use it.

The website gives a list of workshops held by the FCC. "The goal of the workshops will be to promote an open dialogue between the FCC and key constituents on matters important to the National Broadband Plan."[1] These meetings are held at the FCC and are put onto the internet for everyone to have access to them. They also have field events throughout the country to allow the public to input on their progress.

Webpage

Your details for the site are probably better than mine. If you can submit yours to the dropbox as opposed to mine, which I had submitted, that would be appreciated. You can also look at what I had on my talk page, see if you think anything from it should be added. Schill76 (talk) 19:37, 18 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Broadband.gov

Hi Collin,

Will be giving you feedback on your work over the next few days. I encourage you to delete what your online mentor has uploaded to your article and move the material over on your own for two reasons: 1) it'll help you learn how to move material from your user page into the main space, and 2) as a class, we'll get the credit for the work that we've done. Make sure that you're logged in when you make the move to ensure that the contribution is associated with your name, and with our class.

Great work thus far. Jaobar (talk) 18:39, 19 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Communication

edit

Hi there! I'd left some messages at User_talk:Schill76/sandbox, but none of you replied. I just realized that maybe you might not have known that I'd be using the talk page for centralized discussion. Anyways, you guys have moved the article to the mainspace, so I'll be using Talk:Broadband.gov for any messages related to the page (You guys can use the page for discussion, too-- It makes stuff easier to keep track of). On a side note, Professor Obar wants your page to go to the next level, i.e., DYK. For that, we'll need what's called a DYK "hook". See my reply here, where I've explained what a "hook" is and how to go about writing one. ManishEarthTalkStalk 08:56, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

REferences

edit

Hi

I have hidden your addition to the Osama bin Laden article. Unfortunately the statement you inserted was not supported by the reference, nor was the one preceding it, and so they will need sourcing correctly.

Each article relies on the reference directly after the statements to either provide sources for the synopsis or quotes stated, great care must be taken to ensure that the two accounts, Wiki and source, marry up on info given.

I hope you understand why this was done, if you have any questions please feel free to leave me a message :¬) Chaosdruid (talk) 10:21, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Meridan entertainment group

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Meridan entertainment group, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.meridianconcerts.com/about.php.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Meridian Entertainment Group

edit

Hello, Daxter21, and thank you for your contributions!

I wanted to let you know it seems an article you worked on, Meridian Entertainment Group, is copied from another Wikipedia page, Meridan entertainment group. It's fine to do this as long as you provide the following information in the edit summary:

  1. a link to the article you copied from
  2. the date you copied it

You can do this now by editing the page, making any minor edit to the article, and adding the above information into the edit summary.

If you're still not sure how to fix the problem, please leave a message at the help desk. It's possible that I made a mistake, so feel free to remove the tag I placed on the article.

Thanks again for helping build the free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 17:34, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Meridian Entertainment Group

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Meridian Entertainment Group, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
  • It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

    If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Writ Keeper 17:38, 31 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:MSU Federal Credit Union Brand Logo.png

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:MSU Federal Credit Union Brand Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:29, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
