Welcome!

Hello, Jodav571, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!  hydnjo talk 05:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome from a fellow photographer.

[edit]

I just saw your image contributions to the Reston, Virginia article. Thank you! I googled your name and was about to email you to make sure we had your authorization to use the images, but then I noticed the match between your flickr account and your username...

In the future, it's better if your upload pictures to Wikipedia to Wikimedia Commons. You create an account there and upload just like you do here. You then put the images in the article exactly like you put an image in that you uploaded to Wikipedia: [[Image:filename.jpg|.... The advantage of uploading to commons is that your image can be used in any of the hundreds of languages of Wikipedia without additional effort. (For example, the German version of the article which currently has no pictures).

If you don't want to go through the trouble of uploading to commons, someone (perhaps me) will eventually move your work over. So don't worry about it too much. In any case, have fun.. and if you have any questions please feel free to ask me. I hope you stay for a while and submit many useful photographs, we certainly need them. --Gmaxwell 21:13, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RTC Photo

[edit]

I personally like the lighting and angle better because it shows off more of the beauty and architecture of the buildings. I do not see the lampost as clutter, but rather as a sign of perspective.

I like your style and enjoy viewing your photography very much, but I think my photo would be better for a wikipedia article than yours.

Your other photos are excellent, however, and I think you should contribute even more to wikipedia because your style is very appealing. :-) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gplpark92 (talkcontribs) 02:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Posting to talk pages

[edit]

I moved your new-topic post in Talk:Reston, Virginia to the bottom of the page. Wikipedia discussions flow from top to bottom, not bottom to top. If you use the "post a comment" link (the "+" tab to the right of "edit this page") when creating a new topic, your post will be automatically added to the bottom, and you can provide an edit summary in the "subject/headline" input box just above the edit text window. (You should always give a few-word description of what any edit is about, to make it easier for people reviewing page changes to see what is happening with a page. For any edits except new-topic posts to talk pages, the edit summary input box is just below the edit window.)

More guidelines on working with talk pages can be found at Wikipedia:Talk page. I hope you find this information useful. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Reston Image Removal

[edit]

I'm afraid you've made a mistake by reverting my aesthetic changes to the article. If an image you find relevant has been removed, you may place it back in. --Old Guard 22:46, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edits to Redbone (ethnicity)

[edit]

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Articnomad! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule \burbandictionary\.com\/, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

Orphaned non-free image (Image:QoudlibetenglishScreenshot.png)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:QoudlibetenglishScreenshot.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:41, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:1800021804p.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:1800021804p.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image 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 '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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 00:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:1800021804p.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:1800021804p.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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talkcontribsBot) 00:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Striking your vote

[edit]

Hello Articnomad,

Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.

The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.

The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.

Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.

In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.

We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.

Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.

Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

Reston GA nomination

[edit]

Articnomad, I reviewed the Reston, Virginia article relative to your GA nomination. I don't think it's ready for GA status, but have a number of recommendations to move it along. They're detailed on the Talk page. The pictures, by the way, add a lot to the article. Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for reviewing it, I'll try to implement your recommendations.Signed - Joshua Davis (articnomad) 15:57, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lecraeafterthemusicstops.jpeg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Lecraeafterthemusicstops.jpeg. 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).

File permission problem with File:Lakeanneres.jpg

[edit]

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

If you created 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 {{OTRS 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 in|article name}} 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. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 16:23, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of LeylandAlliance

[edit]

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

The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (companies) requirement. If you disagree and deprod this, please explain how it meets them on the talk page in the form of "This article meets criteria A and B because..." and ping me back. Thank you,

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of LeylandAlliance for deletion

[edit]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article LeylandAlliance is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LeylandAlliance until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. clpo13(talk) 15:47, 2 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
