I found the image at [1] ... it is an AP photo and I have thus tagged it with {{db-copyvio}}. --BigDT 01:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Review Portal:United States Navy

• Thanks for your review. and I promise im not trying to be rude but, Those colors actually are US Navy Colors according the the US Navy Fact File on Graphics & Colors The colors are BLUE PMS 275 which translates to RBG=#25185d that is the color of the section headers, GOLD PMS 125 which translates to RGB=#bc8d00 that is the background and, RED PMS 187 which translates to RGB=#bb8900 this is the tab color. So as much I would like to use colors that are assumed to be "Navy Colors" I rather use the the Presice Official Navy Colors. Im glad you liked the portal, tell your friends--WilsBadKarma ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 21:01, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

To be honest if you look at the history of the portal I originally made the colors as you suggested but before I nominated it for Featured portal I decided that it would be better to make the colors "Official"--WilsBadKarma ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 21:10, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

History of Pittsburgh

I´ll be happy to help when I get back from where I am now! Squamate 15:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for including my map

Thanks for including my map as an exemplar at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Maps. I think more standardization is a noble goal, one that I try to preach. It would be good to get the Graphics Lab folks involved too, as they have set up an entirely separate standard and methodology.

Let me know what I can do to help, MapMaster 01:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

History of Pittsburgh

It's no wonder I never saw your messages about this article on the WikiProject Pittsburgh talk page; you posted it at the top, above the talk page's first threads from September. New posts go at the bottom, where editors know to look for them. Also, you can always count on Paschmitts and me to help with things like this, and you can leave messages on our talk pages to notify us specifically about events like this. I'm sad I didn't know about it because I would have liked to be part of the discussion. --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 20:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Chris, oh well, it's my fault. I'll let someone else nominate it again when they think it's appropriate. But Pittsburghers don't quit so easy, do we? Tomcool 16:23, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

History of Pittsburgh- Good Article

Nominated History of Pittsburgh as a good article and it passed pretty easily. This should make a run at Featured Article easier next time. I might nominate it myself once I get some more time, but a little too busy right now. Thanks for all your help on this one. PadreNuestro 00:46, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

History of Pittsburgh- FAC

I have nominated this article, I think its solid. We'll see how it goes PadreNuestro 01:42, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Pittsburgh-film.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Pittsburgh-film.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Forts at Forks of Ohio.png

Hiya TomCool. Unless I'm mistaken, the map Forts at Forks of Ohio.png has Fort Duquesne misspelled as "Fort Dusquesne." Alphageekpa (talk) 02:28, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Boy, is my face rouge. I've uploaded a new version with (hopefully) the correct spelling. Thanks for taking the time to point out the error. Tomcool (talk) 02:05, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Might want to check out some of your other related maps as well, I see the same typo exists on French Forts 1754.png. Alphageekpa (talk) 14:21, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Hate to be a bother, but you have the same typo on File:French British Forts 1753 1758.png and File:French Forts 1754.png. TuckerResearch (talk) 05:07, 14 August 2012 (UTC)

Pittsburgh event for Wikipedia's tenth anniversary

Hi! Since you're a member of WikiProject Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details. I hope to see you there!--ragesoss (talk) 14:39, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh activity

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussion at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active. If you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and move your name from inactive to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great. Hopefully in a near future you'll also receive our first newsletter with various information on what we have been doing, and what useful tools are available. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 19:56, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

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.

Proposed deletion of List of hospitals in Pittsburgh

The article List of hospitals in Pittsburgh has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no citations, everything is duplicated in List of hospitals in Pennsylvania. This is really just a list of external links. I would propose a merge, but I feel like all the data is already replicated in List of hospitals in Pennsylvania. Fails WP:NOTLINK.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. -TG 22:20, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:WBGG-FM logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:WBGG-FM logo.jpg. 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 06:13, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
