Re: My User Page

Thanks for the edit. However, that google template should be capitalized, if I'm not mistaken. --Winter 23:32, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I was mistaken. --Winter 00:21, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tornado Drive

Tornado Drive to file-sharing websites, but it was declined due to sharing not legal content? What is meant by sharing not legal content. All of the file-sharing websites let users share any type of content. And i haven't noticed any by tornadodrive.

Most important is that file sharing is not only P2P-networks, but also webservices like Tornado Drive. (Elmagnon 04:04, 18 January 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Image:New Found Glory This Disaster Live in London.jpg

I uploaded a new version of the cover of the New Found Glory DVD, if that's alright with you. I got rid of the DVD case around it and the dust in the corners, and I also adjusted the colors to look more like the original. HarryCane 12:37, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Dane Cook

Explanation was provided on the talk page — that section provides no sources. It probably should stay removed until verification of such accusations. --bbatsell | « give me a ring » 23:48, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NJ Collaboration of the Week

Thanks for participating in Wikiproject New Jersey. In an attempt to create articles for some of the non-existing pages related to New Jersey, NJCOTW was recently created to bring members of WP:NJ together to work collaboratively on a certain selected topic, which this week is List of Governors of New Jersey. Please help by nominating/voting/commenting on articles on WP:NJCOTW, or by helping to improve articles in the scope of the topic for the NJCOTW. AndyZ 00:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All Downhill from Here article

Please don't move the "All Downhill from Here" article back to it's name with a capital F. According to Wikipedia guidelines, prepositions should not be capitalised. Thanks. --HarryCane 18:37, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:Cartel_band.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cartel_band.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

You recently told me off for experimenting with the page Fading Days. This was in fact my brother on the same computer, not me. Deaths_hand 16:05, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Snakes on a Plane

I'm sorry if the summary made no sense. I had no idea what to put there and I've been scorned for making edits w/o a summary. It makes me look like a vandal and I was trying to fix vandalism on this article so sorry for confusion. Fableheroesguild 04:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Grushka

Ian Grushka simply redirects to the page for New Found Glory, not to any page about the musician. This needs fixing. Jubella 18:26, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have fixed it. Not sure why that was redirected, but thanks for the taking notice of it. sharp dust 06:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Found Glory picture

I took the new image (Image:Newfoundgloryy.jpg) from the New Found Glory because it didn't have sufficient copyright information (which the old one (Image:New Found Glory.jpg) had), not because it's not a promotional photo. I couldn't care less if someone put a newer picture in the article (even though I don't see the point, given there has been no line-up or stylistic changes in the band), as long as the copyright status is OK. However, your copying my fair use rationale from the old image and signing with my name is a Wikipedia policy violation, and I will have you know that I am going to report you for that. Have a good day, HarryCane

Report he did, and you earned youself a 24 hour time out. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 19:58, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yo dude, I realize that copying/pasting the copyright info from the old picture wasn't what I should have done. I apologize for that. To be honest, I didn't read the copyright info and just put it in there without even looking at it because I figured it would be a suitable since it's just another New Found Glory promotional photo.

Realize something else though, you need to calm down sometimes. I've seen a lot of what you put on Wikipedia and most of the time you are too quick to revert people's edits (this is not referring to the above) without discussing it first. You act like you "control" an article. As a result you always try to be nasty about it in the edit summaries. And with this, whether or not you think it, you're being pretty nasty by saying "Have a good day," which to me sounds like "you're fucked".

Anyways, I'm not going to get into this anymore. You can control your articles, I'm not even going to attempt to help out with them. sharp dust 17:18, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Coming Home track listing

Would you mind telling me why you deleted the track listing from the Coming Home article? Most of the songs you keep replacing it with are no more confirmed than the track listing that was posted on AP.net. I see where you're coming from, but would it really hurt to post a tentative track listing instead of a random collection of probably incorrect song names? --HarryCane 20:04, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is up now is not a random collection of incorrect song names. In the latest NFG bio by Geffen, they state a lot of the song names [2] (also see MTV article: [3]). I consider both of those links to be legit sources. Whereas, the AP article [4] states in the title "rumored tracklisting" and it was submitted by some random person who could have just pulled the remaining 3 tracks out of nowhere.

My bad, I didn't notice the bio thing. I thought they were just random names picked up by someone at a show or something, since it wasn't referenced. You're right then. Sorry. --HarryCane 10:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Adam Goucher.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Adam Goucher.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 16:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Less Than Jake promo photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Less Than Jake promo photo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. ShadowHalo 17:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live In London!!!.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live In London!!!.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.BetacommandBot 17:31, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:CartelChroma.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CartelChroma.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}} 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 08:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 08:44, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Cartel_chroma_rerelease.jpg

I have tagged Image:Cartel_chroma_rerelease.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 08:45, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Punk_Goes_90s_cover.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Punk_Goes_90s_cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bigr Tex 22:05, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Sublime-forever free.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sublime-forever free.jpg. 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).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 15:18, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Project News

Article Alerts

The Reboot of Wikiproject New Jersey has certainly stirred up some new activity at the project. Discussion on several improvements and new initiatives have been going on at the talk page. There has been an involved discussion regarding our 118 unassessed articles, especially those on municipalities. The current goal is to review and assess all 566 New Jersey muncipality articles by September 30.
A suggestion has been made to intiate Wikipedia Takes New Jersey to begin clearing the large backlog of articles needing photos. Let's all grab our cameras and head out into the vast wilds of the Garden State. Town Halls, High Schools, Historic Places - every article deserves a picture.

The following articles may be in need of attention:

New Jersey Collaboration news

New WPNJ members

WPNJ member Mm40 has volunteered to coordinate a new WPNJ Collaboration project. It's been a while since we used the NJCOTW and new volunteers are needed. Join the discussion to volunteer.

Battle of Trenton was recently proposed as a Featured Article candidate. It was not promoted, but has now been nominated for A-Class review through the Military History WikiProject. Take a look at their A-Class FAQ. As we need to set up our own process for reviewing A-Class articles, it may be worth watching the process.

Please welcome the following new members to WikiProject New Jersey:

Reboot progress report

Help Wanted

The redesign has been well received. There are still some things left to do. This newsletter was one big check mark off the list. Hopefully this can be continued on a regular basis. There are literally thousands of articles in Category:New Jersey that have not been tagged as part of the project, and stub sorting hasn't been run in 10 months. We will need to identify some friendly bot operators to help with these projects. An outreach department (which includes the newsletter) needs to be formalized. Creating an invitation template for easy placement on userpages will also be part of that effort.

There are lots of best practices described at the WikiProject Council with ideas of how to make our project more responsive, welcoming, active, and effective. Task forces? Peer review? Other ideas welcome!

Editor's Notes

I just wanted to say that the response to my bold makeover of WPNJ has been gratifying, but nothing will improve the project as much as more activity, and that means more members. There are lots of things to do in this new setup, and everyone with an interest should be able to find a way to contribute to the collaboration. I want to thank you all for the patience, the appreciation, and the effort. - Jim Miller

Please remember to place the {{WikiProject New Jersey}} tag on the talk pages of any New Jersey related articles you create or come across. You can also add the new articles page to your watchlist.
Some updates have been made to the NJ Portal, but much more needs to be done. If a few volunteers can put together Featured Article summmaries, we can automate rotating the portal content. The same can be done for DYK items. Please take a look and see if you can assist.

Wikipedia Release version 0.7

New WPNJ members

The Wikipedia 0.7 project team has chosen the New Jersey related articles that will be included in the next downloadable version of Wikipedia. You can review the list of selected WPNJ articles, check the articles tagged for cleanup, or nominate additional articles for inclusion.

Selection is an automated process based on article assessments. To help avoid vandalism and POV concerns, specific versions of articles can be tagged for inclusion in the downloadable release. See the New Jersey section of the bot results to recommend a production version. The process ends on October 20, and then a bot will select an appropriate version if none has been recommended.

Article News

Help Wanted

Both Jon Corzine and The Sopranos were promoted to Good Article status in the past month. No WikiProject New Jersey articles were promoted to Featured article status. Battle of Trenton was not listed as a Featured Article, and may need more editors to complete the remaining work to be promoted. Also, in an item that was missed last month, Thomas Edison was delisted as a Good Article in July.

The WPNJ Assessment Drive is ongoing. Please help assess all of the articles about places in New Jersey. There are currently 118 articles that have not been assessed.

Editor's Notes

Fall has arrived, and with it will come a rush of new Wikipedians. Inviting new editors to join WPNJ is easy to do, and can help us improve our New Jersey articles. Keep an eye out for editors who work on NJ articles who can help the project. The Wikipedia Release version project is in its final stages for the next version. Take a look at the article lists, cleanup where you can, and nominate articles that should be included on the DVD version of WP. Lets make sure that those who end up with a downloaded copy of WP get solid articles about New Jersey. - Jim Miller

Thanks for uploading File:Kevin lyttle cover.jpg. 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).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:26, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Rowan West Campus.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Rowan West Campus.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 02:42, 17 June 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:42, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Cartel (band)

The article Cartel (band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unremarkable band, lacks coverage in 3rd party sources.

While all 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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 03:18, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Cartel (band)

I have nominated Cartel (band), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cartel (band). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. RadioFan (talk) 12:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC) [reply]

Education Task Force - The conversion of the former WikiProject Education is New Jersey has been completed. New Jersey education-related articles are now supported by the Education task force. The project banner has been updated to fully support the task force with independent importance ratings.

No More Comments - A proposal at the Village Pump has resulted in the deprecation of comments subpages. These were usually found at Talk:Article title/Comments and contained little more than assessment notes. These pages were not widely watched, and are often a hidden location for vandalism and BLP violations. WPNJ has 104 articles that used these pages. A complete list of them, along with their contents, can be viewed at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Deprecation of comments. It is up to the members of WPNJ to decide what to do with this information.

The following articles may be in need of attention:

Municipality template compromise; School Districts (almost) complete

New WPNJ members

Legislative templates in municipal articles - A rather lengthy discussion ran from the end of August until the end of October regarding the use of our legislative district templates in articles about local municipalities. Many WPNJ members commented on the concept, and a proposed compromise seems to have been reached. The templates will require some adjustments to fit the new wording, but should result in more directly relevant sections about County, State, and Federal representation in our articles on cities, towns, villages, townships, and boroughs. Hopefully, more dicussions like this can result is some kind of Manual of Style to bring greater standardization to all of these articles.

School District articles now comprehensive - WPNJ Founder Alansohn recently reported that almost all of New Jersey's school districts now have articles - "I have created the article for the last missing (non-vocational) school district in the state." Congrats to Alansohn, who I am sure would love more members at the Education task force to help maintain these articles!

Editor's Notes

Editor's news. OK, so I am going to try this again. It's been a little over a year since our last edition, and activity at the project was a bit slow during that time. Things have picked up again over the last few months, so once more into the breech I go. I will try to produce this newsletter on a regular basis (bi-monthly?) to see if we can get some more activity going at WPNJ. Help is always appreciated, and there is plenty to do. - Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me}

New Statistics Table There has been an upgrade to the WP 1.0 bot that updates our project's summary table. The new table lists all page classes including Portal-class, Redirect-class, and Disambig-class. We now have a better picture of the scope of the WikiProject and the pages that we cover.
New York Times to charge for access The New York Times is an invaluable resource for properly referencing articles, but especially due to its extensive archives and coverage of New Jersey issues. The announcement that metered content will be started in 2011 has the potential to make article sourcing much more difficult. It also causes a need to update linked sources in articles before all of the NYT links go dead. Any link can be archived on demand by using WebCite. We can help avoid dead links by archiving any article sources from the NYT.

The following articles may be in need of attention:

Featured Article/List candidates:

List of Governors of New Jersey (FLC)

Good Article nominees:

U.S. Route 30 in New Jersey

All BLP, All the Time

New WPNJ members

BLP Issue Boils Over There are discussions all over the 'pedia about deleting close to 50,000 unreferenced Biographies of Living People. We won't get into a rehash here, but let's just look at what we can do. There is a new item on the project task list for sourcing BLPs. All articles that are in both Category:People from New Jersey and Category:All unreferenced BLPs are now available on this work list. These articles need to be sourced, PRODded, or sent to AfD.

An ounce of prevention Unreferenced BLPs are one of the catgories regularly listed in the WPNJ Cleanup listing. New articles are also a prime location to find articles that do not yet have references. You can keep an eye on the New Articles list to help prevent the workload from getting any larger. Can we do more? There are bots that will automatically add the WPNJ Project Banner to all articles in our designated categories if we have consensus to request it. Join the discussion here.

In NJ, politics means article updates

Help Wanted

New Leaders in NJ Government Over the past 2 weeks, new legislators have been sworn in, the legislature has new leadership, the 55th Governor of New Jersey has been inaugurated, and we have our first Lt. Governor. All new members of the Legislature have at least stub articles, and many of the templates have been updated.

Updating templates Many New Jersey articles utilize stadardized templates to convey information. With elections happening as often as they do in this state, January is always a good time to review these templates and update them with new information. Does your town or county have new elected officials? It's maintainance time on many of our articles on municipalities and counties as well.

Outreach Run across any new editors on New Jersey-related articles? Invite them to join WPNJ!

Editor's Notes

Editor's news Must have been some winter holiday season in New Jersey, because the project talk page has been unusually quiet. I thought with all that snow, many of us would be inside and doing things here at WP. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are enjoying a healthy and happy 2010!! - Jim Miller ^{See me | Touch me}

Non-free rationale for File:Runningwiththebuffaloes.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Runningwiththebuffaloes.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
