Anthropology project
[edit]I have communicated with The Ungovernable Force regarding the proposed anthropology project which you indicated an interest in, and have gotten the OK from him to move the project into wiki-space and make it active. He indicated that he is busy in school right now, but will be as active as he can be given that. The project page as it now exists is only a minimum page, and could use the input of interested parties such as yourself. Personally, I did noticably poorly in the one cultural anthropology class I took in college, so I'm bowing out of this one, but wish you and the other members of the project the best of luck with it. Thank you. Badbilltucker 21:49, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you signed up for WikiProject Anthropology and thought that you might be interested in participating in the Collaboration of the Month. This month's article is Marvin Harris. Thanks. Stilgar135 19:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Ball State University
[edit]I am writing to politely disagree with the assertion that my edit to the Ball State University article was vandalism. My father attended Ball State University in the early 1960s; he reported that a common and widely-used nickname for the institution was "Fruit Jar Tech." Please advise. Thank you. 24.17.171.84 22:37, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't disagree with your argument in its entirety, because I can't substantiate if it is true or not. Your comment was removed because it was an uncited comment that appeared to be vandalism due to the nature of the nickname. I just happened to see it before someone else did. In other words it was gonna be deleted at some point due to the fact that the name was uncited. Rewrite it with a proper citation (your father doesn't work). Remember this is an encyclopedia. Thanks for your reply. chris4682 7:57PM 9 Sept 07
- As requested, I have provided a citation from Ball State's alumni magazine. I might also point out that as the Ball State University article currently contains information about "the hot dog man" and his most popular offerings on campus, proper citation of a campus nickname--even a potentially demeaning one--doesn't seem wholly out of place in the article. 24.17.171.84 04:06, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Great. As exampled by you (Hot Dog Man) there are numerous problems with the Ball State page (as with others) and your addition now does not fall into that category! As with most watchers of the Ball State page I can only do so much. Thanks. In addition, have you thought about creating a username for Wikipedia? chris4682 10-09-07
License tagging for Image:Duck Creek Aqueduct.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Duck Creek Aqueduct.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. 03:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
All photos have been tagged. Thanks bot! 24 September 2007 chris4682
Image copyright problem with Image:Cotswolds 2004.JPG
[edit]
Thank you for uploading Image:Cotswolds 2004.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 10:14, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
Corrected. Thanks bot. chris 4682
Fair use rationale for File:Di-no fair use rationale
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Di-no fair use rationale. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nyttend (talk) 01:55, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
- Sorry to have left a nearly useless message; I guess I wasn't paying attention when I left it. I have, however, started an FFD discussion for the image, as I believe it to be replaceable: see here for the discussion. Nyttend (talk) 13:22, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
All actions understood. Thank you. Chris4682 Sept. 15, 2009
Replaceable fair use Image:Wwcsign.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Wwcsign.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 03:01, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for bringing this problem to my attention. Chris4682 Sept. 15 2009

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:57, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

2019 US Banknote Contest
[edit].png){kind=logo}
|
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 | ||
