{{Helpme}} Ahhh! I need to capitalize a letter in the title! I read the FAQ - but I don't think I am able to move the article - can you help me? Christineokelly (talk) 20:47, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has to be at least 4 days old, I think, before you can move a page. I'll do it for you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 20:51, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Response - Categories in Andrew M. Stroth

Hi Christineokelly, thanks for the message. I actually added three categories (1967 births, Living people & University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign alumni), the Categorize tag was put there before me. I took the "uncategorized" tag out. Hope that helps! Mr Sheep Measham (talk) 21:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for adding categories Mr. Sheep Meesham! I learned something :) I admire your diligent efforts in helping to make Wikipedia a better source for all :) Christineokelly (talk) 14:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to be of help! :-) Mr Sheep Measham (talk) 14:59, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Developing your user page - it is easy!!!

Wikipedia is a megalopolis and like in any city, interactions are very important. I recommend that you develop your user page so that people who visit your page may know your interests and share in them. It could be a single line telling others of not only your name but what you like or a complex page with every single thing that interests you on it. This is a great way of building up work groups that facilitate the sharing of expert knowledge on articles, talks etc. Happy building!!! . Crosstemplejay ^{talk .}22:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Become a great editor through diligence.

Being a member of the welcoming committee on Wikipedia I encourage you to help Wikipedia in any way you can to increase human knowledge. If you have credible information about a topic with verifiable references please feel free to add to that topic. If there is no article on that topic, why not start it, with time others will add to it and it may even make the featured articles list. By doing this, I have been able to make over 6000 page edits in both new articles, article improvement etc. Furthermore, I encourage you to aim to be a member of the autoconfirmed users [[1]] group as this will greatly improve your Wikipedia experience. You can do this by making at least 10 credible edits on Wikipedia and remaining on Wikipedia for four (4) days. Check out this page for tips. . Crosstemplejay ^{talk .} 22:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Adding media to articles.

Media files, be it images, drawings or sound files are an integral part of Wikipedia's articles. They apart from enriching articles, make them more credible too. You can add media files to both your new articles as well as once you are editing. To do so you can search for it on wikipedia:commons or you can either upload the image if you have it using this file uploader or [commons uploader]. Please be informed that you must provide accurate information about the file being uploaded since they are reviewed and if if is found that the license given to the file is false, it will promptly be deleted. .

Spotting bad edits and vandalism.

As you age on Wikipedia, one thing you will come across and probably address will the issue of bad edits or vandalism. There are several ways of spotting them:

by reviewing articles on your watchlist regularly and looking for bad edits
verifying new changes to pages and articles

If you happen to come across a bad edit you may:

ask an editor you trust to review the work for his/her inputs
you can rollback the change if you have credible information that the edit is indeed bad
request that the necessary change be made on the article's talk page.

Whatever you do, please be very careful about the changes you make, for a rule of thumb, discuss issues you are not sure of first before making changes. . Crosstemplejay ^{talk .} 22:11, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good work so far

I have gone through the work. I can see you have corrected the initial concerns I raised. There is still an important aspect the article has yet not addressed. You must state in the article the particular thing that makes this man import ie. One notable thing he has done. After sorting that out, the tags may be removed.--CrossTempleJay (talk) 16:45, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you VERY much Cross TempleJay - this is just the sort of feedback I was looking for. After taking your advice, I have added the SPECIFIC notable things that he has done for several high profile sports players. This is the page that we're discussing: http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Andrew_M._Stroth. I've also added additional reference and sources of information. I do not know if I should be removing the tags, or if is appropriate that you do - so I'm leaving them on for a few days until I hear back from you :)

Also, you left me a note suggesting that I add multimedia - I too think that would be useful, however, I haven't found a way to include that. Is that something that a senior editor needs to add?

Thank you for helping me to become more knowledgable about contributing to Wikipedia :) Christineokelly (talk) 19:24, 4 May 2011 (UTC) [reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Kenard-Eugene-Gibbs.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Kenard-Eugene-Gibbs.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Keynote speaker, social media consultant, Kim Garst.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Keynote speaker, social media consultant, Kim Garst.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. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:07, 17 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you -- I did forward a message from the copyright holder to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, but have asked the copyright holder to email them permission directly. Christineokelly (talk) 18:09, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Home Pros Guide

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article Home Pros Guide has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:06, 24 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Repost of Kim Garst

A tag has been placed on Kim Garst requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for September 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited William J. Mulrow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:48, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cary Kochman

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

Not notable banking executive -- the article is merely a List of his publications

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.

AfC notification: Draft:Steve Voudouris has a new comment

I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Steve Voudouris. Thanks! Robert McClenon (talk) 01:42, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Steve Voudouris (August 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Gbawden was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Steve Voudouris and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Gbawden (talk) 06:46, 19 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Christineokelly, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk.

March 2017

Hello, I'm JesseRafe. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Sanjay Shah (businessman) seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 15:45, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they effect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take 5 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Survey Link: http://uchicago.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH?Q_DL=5jRFD5Mzx9sHZLT_80J3UDCpLnKyWTH_MLRP_bBZqbwlzCZN4CUt&Q_CHL=gl

I am asking you to participate in this study because you are a frequent editor of pages on Wikipedia that are of political interest. We would like to learn about your experiences in dealing with editors of different political orientations.

Sincere thanks for your help! Porteclefs (talk) 15:44, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Christineokelly. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MarioGom (talk) 12:04, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits to Andrew Stroth, AmericanMuscle, Mark Pieloch, and others

Hello Christineokelly. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Andrew Stroth, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Christineokelly. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Christineokelly|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. This notice applies to multiple other business-related articles you have created. Voceditenore (talk) 04:50, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Chaka Patterson

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Chaka Patterson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
