Welcome!

Hello, Doc2234, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Thanks for contacting me. I don't know of a particular set of information that we provide to the author when they let us use their image. When I get permission for an image I usually upload it and the provide a link to the article(s) I added it to. I may point out how many views the article had last month (using this tool), as well as point them to the "check usage" tab at the top of the Wikimedia Commons image so they can always see which of the different language Wikipedias are using their image. If you need further clarification, please let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 21:26, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the help. I have another one I am trying to prepare now. . . it's also on my talk page. Would you please look it over and ensure that it is (Dave Keuning) ready for posting? Thank you so much for your help. I am sure that with some more effort and smooth operating we can prepare this one as well as the last. Thank you so much.--Waytagojoe (talk) 01:39, 18 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OKAY...I have made the changes on the ref list that you wrote about. What more can I do to ensure this is ready to be posted? Can you help me make any necessary corrections? The changes are visible on my talk page. Thank you. --Waytagojoe (talk) 23:09, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great! I have opened the draft page on my talk page. Will you please show me how the references will appear? Or is this cool? I really want to get this up. The sooner the better. Ronnie Vannucci is an accredited drummer and has been integral in developing a signature style as a drummer. He currently boasts more than 5 major drum making company sponsorships (I can give the refs), has been featured on the cover of at least 3 major drum magazines (I can give the refs), has been voted a winner on the modern drummer readers polls at least twice (I can give the refs), and has helped launch another major label band, Neon Trees from oblivion to a number 1 chart position on the new music alternative charts and a #29 position on the billboard alternative charts (this month).--Waytagojoe (talk) 23:24, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I've made the changes you requested for the references list. You can see the page for Ronnie Vannucci Jr (famed drummer) on my talk page. Will you please look over the page and help me determine how I can get it ready to post on wikipedia. I am very interested in getting this posted. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.--Waytagojoe (talk) 23:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here's one example out of Gwen Stefani's page that has Featured Article status: The line achieved popularity among celebrities and is worn by stars such as Teri Hatcher, Nicole Kidman, and Stefani herself.^[1]

RV ref from age 6 on.^[2] In the reference below, the read-out describes the article and the URL gets hidden from view. The author is put first, then a space, then the URL, then a space, and then a description that you write.

I also try to include a page number and paragraph number so that someone reading the reference will have an easy time finding the backup info. I'll try to find a couple of other good examples, tomorrow. Doc2234 (talk) 02:48, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The image pixels will be based on the original size of the image you upload. The more megapixels, usually the larger the size. However, the size of the image can be manipulated within the article itself by adding a size (ex. 300px) within the image formatting. Take a look at some random articles with images and you should see that in the wiki formatting. If the image is free, then it's best to upload it to the largest possible size. However, if it is a non-free image such as a movie poster or a CD cover, then it is required to be uploaded at a smaller size to qualify for fair use requirements. If you need any further clarification, please let me know. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 04:38, 8 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doc2234, thanks for inquiring about the Wikipedia Campus Ambassador role! If you are interested in being a Campus Ambassador at GWU or Georgetown University, I would like to send you the application form. What email address can I send this to? (Feel free to email me this info if you prefer: [email protected]).

More details about this role can be found at http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Campus_Ambassador. Here is also a little bit more information; in a nutshell: The Campus Ambassadors are crucial components of the Wikipedia Public Policy Initiative. Volunteers in this position will be in charge of training and supporting the participating professors and students on Wikipedia-related skills, such as how to create new articles, how to add images, how the talk pages work, etc. Campus Ambassadors will also help recruit other people on campus to contribute to Wikipedia articles, for example by setting up Wikipedia-related student groups and by organizing "Welcome to Wikipedia" social events. In general they will become known as Wikipedia experts on the university campus (in your case, on the GWU or Georgetown University campus). The estimated time commitment for this role is 3 to 5 hours a week, possibly slightly more at the very beginning and very end of the semester. The Wikimedia Foundation will hold a mandatory three-day training for all Campus Ambassadors in August, and will continue to stay in contact with and offer full support for the Campus Ambassadors throughout the academic semester.

Thanks. I look forward to hearing back from you soon!

Thank you! If you have any difficulty with image retrieval, please tell me so that I may upload the image again. Doc2234 (talk) 20:16, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like all my attempts to improve the page have failed. I will check again in a few days to determine what should happen. If all the problems are still there, with no attempt to correct mistakes or rm insertion of essentially spam, I will make a determination based on the response to my suggestions. Student7 (talk) 16:06, 12 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly I'll help. I'm glad you're busy; most architects aren't, as you obviously are aware, so make hay while the sun shines. Student7 is correct in matters of style: you should avoid adjectives and honorifics, boiling it all down into encyclopedic prose that clearly states why a person is significant and backing it up with references. Gund passes the notability standard with flying colors, but much the same situation exists at any number of architecture-related bios. Articles on firms and individual architects are in general pretty sorry, either unreferenced stubs or PR pieces edited by the subject's marketing person. Acroterion _(talk) 02:44, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Can we organize a plan of action to share work, and also make sure that we are covering all of the points needed to contest any justification for deletion? Doc2234 (talk) 03:38, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I think at this point it's deletion-proof; there's clear evidence of notability documented in multiple national publications, as well as a specific book devoted to the firm. However, it would be nice to get behind the paywalls and reference some of the coverage in the major papers. Also, the monograph (the portions available on Google) has material that can be referenced back to it. I'd like to get his bio referenced better, particularly links back to his father and brothers. His work as a developer needs more referencing and discussion.

Gund's work tends to be middle-profile, relatively small in scope, with no big set-piece Gehry-style extravaganzas that get all the attention. The list of projects should span the life of the firm and avoid recentism, but should focus on projects that have won significant notice or awards. The list should have a structure, probably chronological, and be choosy. There's no reason to list every project, just the ones that have gotten press (which can then be referenced). Acroterion _(talk) 04:55, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings! Please excuse this intrusion on your talk page, and allow me to invite you to participate in the newly-formed Wikipedia Contribution Team (WP:CONTRIB for short)! The goal of the team is to attract more and better contributions to the English Wikipedia, as well as to help support the fundraising team in our financial and editing contribution goals. We have lots of stuff to work on, from minor and major page building, to WikiProject outreach, article improvement, donor relations, and more—in fact, part of our mission is to empower team members to make their own projects to support our mission. Some of our projects only take a few minutes to work on, while others can be large, multi-person tasks—whatever your interest level, we're glad to have you.

If this sounds interesting, please visit WP:CONTRIB and sign onto the team. Even if there does not appear to be anything that really speaks out as being work you'd like to do, I'd encourage you to join and follow the project anyway, as the type of work we'll be doing will certainly evolve and change over time. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me, or ask on the team talk page. Regards, ⇒DanRosenthal ^{Wikipedia Contribution Team} 22:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, this is a human edit (not a bot). I'm specifically contacting you as you expressed interest in the Campus Ambassador position, and the Wikipedia Contributions Team has a lot of commonality in working along with the Campus Ambassadors. You can reach me on my talk page, or by email at [email protected] with questions; I can't guarantee that I'll be checking back on your talk page often enough to hold a sustained conversation there. Regards, ⇒DanRosenthal ^{Wikipedia Contribution Team} 22:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1. At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
2. To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
3. To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

Which one is this: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/latimes/access/334542472.html?dids=334542472:334542472&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Jan+06%2C+1916&author=&pub=Los+Angeles+Times&desc=RICHEST+BOY+AND+PARTY+HERE.&pqatl=google

John Nicholas Brown III, the "richest boy in the world," and reputed heir to $75,000,000, arrived in Pasadena over the Salt Lake at 9:45 o'clock yesterday morning in the Brown private car "Boston." With the other members of his party he was taken by automobile to the Huntington Hotel, where he was put to bed, suffering with a cold.

It sound like the same as John Nicholas Brown II since the article is from 1916. Which numbering system is wrong and which is right? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 01:12, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It is John Nicholas Brown II. He was reportedly the wealthiest baby in America. The Los Angeles Times article is in error. There was no other John Nicholas besides his father descending from either his tree starting with Nicholas Brown 1729-91, or from John Brown 1736-1803, or Moses Brown 1738-1836. There is much left to add to the Wikipedia page entry. Many significant details should be added to provide a complete picture of his contributions from both business and cultural standpoints. Doc2234 (talk) 22:21, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The next DC Wikimedia meetup is scheduled for Saturday, May 7, 3:30-5:30 pm at the Tenleytown Library (adjacent to the Tenleytown Metro Station, Red Line), followed by dinner & socializing at some nearby place.

This is the first official meeting of our proposed Wikimedia DC chapter, with discussion of bylaws and next steps. Other agenda items include, update everyone on our successful Wikimania bid and next steps in the planning process, discuss upcoming activities that we want to do over the summer and fall, and more.

Please RSVP here and see a list of additional tentatively planned meetups & activities for late May & June on the Wikipedia:Meetup/DC page.

Wikipedia categorizes things by straight descriptions of what the article topic is. For instance, we don't file musical groups in "musician" categories; we file them in "musical group" categories. A collective of multiple fashion designers is not an individual fashion designer any more than a band is an individual musician; the only thing that belongs in that category is articles about individual people.

Archives of American Art Backstage Pass! - You are invited!

The Smithsonian is hosting its first Backstage Pass at the Archives of American Art on Friday, July 29. 10 Wikimedians will experience the behind the scenes aspects of archiving the world's largest collection of documents and photographs related to American art. After a complimentary lunch, an edit-a-thon will take place and prizes will be awarded. Followed by an evening happy hour. We hope you'll participate!

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:21, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B. Anthony petition for remission of fine Alexander Hamilton's commission to take rank as Colonel 1Credit goes to Prosody, Theornamentalist, Inductiveload, Digipoke, George Orwell III, Kathleen.wright5, BirgitteSB, and Zhaladshar Tools Archives.gov grabber (Slakr) Future plans Major image contribution The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Since the image is available under one of the compatible free licenses and the permission has already been verified, it should be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. That way, the Italian and all other language Wikipedias can use it. The guide for moving the file can be found at Wikipedia:Moving files to the Commons. Once it's moved over, the file can be used anywhere. Let me know if you need more clarification. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 23:33, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks okay to me, I would just recommend adding some categories for the image on Commons so that other language Wikipedias can find it to include on other articles. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 22:27, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dealing with this: please don't use the claim you're the victim of an alleged persecution as a sort of general purpose-excuse: simply I think that page is not relevant to Wikipedia.

If it gets kept, you can count yourself lucky. If not, don't blame yourself since you did everything you could. At the very least the deletion discussion is lively and has plenty of participants, much better than on the Dutch wiki. I don't know if their default "no consensus" is to keep, but that's where it would be headed on the English wiki, as far as I can tell (I obviously haven't scrutinized all the arguments, though Google Translate does make this a lot more fun).

As I started out with no background knowledge of Wikipedia policies, but with some knowledge about Savourna Stevenson, I simply started out editing her article in a similar style and format to the existing article - without realizing that the existing article is not a very good template to start with. I shall take your sound advice and start with the references first, and build out from that. I am fortunate in that I do have access to many references, both in the form of actual newpaper and magazine articles, and also because the name 'Savourna' appears to be completely unique, so that simply typing Savourna into google generates a huge response which is entirely about her. Try doing that with almost any other name you can think of and it's just not at all helpful! I have never seen Catrin Finch play live, but hope to see her play Savourna Stevenson's new Concerto.

On 22 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Giulia Marletta, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the donkey character Rucio in the 2007 children's film Donkey Xote, executive-produced by Giulia Marletta (pictured), was made to look like "Donkey" from Shrek? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Hi there DOC, AL from Portugal here,

regarding your request, i got to say, not a fan of this singer and not a fan of the music/movie awards hullaballoo industry, just the art per se. Hence, do not know if Moniz's records went this or that, but found this source (please see here http://www.lastfm.com.br/music/L%C3%BAcia+Moniz), there, only Magnólia is listed as GOLD. Once you see the source, please click LER MAIS ("Read more" in Portuguese) for full bio.

About good ole' User:Drmies, yes i have to agree partially, i should have quit football articles but not only that, i should quit WP altogether, too much stress after six years. Wished i could have been of more help, keep up the good work - --AL (talk) 15:13, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Masterpiece Museum" Edit-a-Thon at the Smithsonian American Art Museum

The Smithsonian American Art Museum and Wikimedia DC present the "Masterpiece Museum" Edit-a-Thon. Drawing from their vast vaults of art, the caretakers of the Smithsonian American Art Museum have meticulously drawn forth canvas jewels to import into Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia articles. The museum directors and staff are excited about this project, and would love to have experienced Wikimedians help in the effort!

Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.

Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!

You undid all my revisions at Dale Bozzio. You claimed they were unsourced, when they are clearly sourced, with reputable sources. I've undone your reversions, because I feel like your cherrypicking sources to make the article like you want it to be. 58.7.94.82 (talk) 05:31, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you removed some of my edits that were clearly constructive, such as removing overlinking and following the MOS. 58.7.94.82 (talk) 05:32, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your rationale for deleting the content at Dale Bozzio is spurious. From the article history, it's clear to me you're on a mission to whitewash anything you don't like, especially anything negative, from that article. BLP does not say that negative content can't be added to articles about living people, it says it must be well sourced. The Boston Phoenix is an award winning arts and leisure publication, not a "tabloid". If you want to delete that content, you'll need to make a correct argument because the one you made is not valid whatsoever. You do not WP:OWN that article. The Master (talk) 04:05, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I won't delete reliably-sourced and pertinent content. It does not violate Libel in any way, the sources are perfectly acceptable, and again, BLP does not prohibit negative content, it only says that it must be well sourced and written in a neutral manner (which it is). I could be persuaded that the mention does not belong in the lede, but a single paragraph, reliably sourced, is not a BLP violation and says nothing that any of the many newspapers did not already say three years ago. The Master (talk) 00:34, 24 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Anthony J. Resta discography, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages SMG, Extreme and Out of My Mind (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.

If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

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.
