Notability guides edit

The guides on notability will give you a better idea of what will likely make good articles, I would start here the links from that have some more information on how this works generally, you seem to be good at picking up the style points on writing articles but this may help you when thinking about the sourceing. --Nate1481 09:56, 5 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Suggestion edit

My suggestion to you is to include the most notable and sourced information on Randy in the Jack and Jill School article. I would then ask an administrator to "userfy" the article on Randy. This means you would have the article in your userspace, and if and when a media story is done on him you can add it as a reference, and try again to submit the article. The subject hasn't been covered enough in reliable sources, or at least none that have been provided, for it to be kept on Wikipedia. We can add a redirect so someone searching for Randy will be directed to the appropriate section in the school's article. Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:10, 6 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sources for articles DO NOT have to be available online. Books, for example, can be used as sources. It certainly makes it easier for other users to check sources if they're available online, but if there are substantial stories covering Randy you should add them tot eh article and mention that you've done so in the AfD discussion. You can also add quotes from the articles to the citation itself, so we know exactly what the article says. Focus on the key bits. Cite them the way you cite anything else providing the date, author, page number etc. etc. You can also offer to make them available if you have a scanner or fax or whatever, I suggest doing so at the AfD if your able to do that. I don't know if that helps. Don't panic if it's deleted, nothing is lost forever, and you can have the article "userfied" to work on it. Take care. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, and as far as the lack of sources because he teaches young ages that aren't covered as much and the coverage is more about the school and the program generally, cest la vie. Such is life. Notability is based on substantial media coverage, it's not necessarily fair or right, but it's how things are done here. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:55, 7 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

May I suggest that you start a blog for the school somewhere and then link the wikipedia school article to the blog? These articles about children do not belong in wikipedia. jmcw (talk) 23:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Jack and Jill School edit

Hi! May I inquire as to the reason for your revert of my edits to the article? Those edits were done in good faith, to make the article conform with Wikipedia conventions. I have reverted it back to the version prior to your edits, if you feel its unwarranted, we can discuss it. — KvЯt GviЯnЭlБ Speak! 02:33, 23 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to ARS! edit

 

Hi, Jjskarate, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!

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! Addbot (talk) 00:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

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.

2019 US Banknote Contest edit

  US Banknote Contest  
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

File permission problem with File:Karate spl moves.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Karate spl moves.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{permission pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Minorax«¦talk¦» 14:18, 13 March 2023 (UTC)Reply
