I left a question for you at Category talk:Newspapers of the United States. Thanks, -Willmcw 06:25, 19 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

When you put a userbox in your info page, it automatically lists a category at the bottom. I made a userbox and a category for that userbox. When I put that userbox in my userinfo, it does not automatically list the category I made for it at the bottom. How do you make a userbox automatically list a category at the bottom? va_girl2468 (User talk:va_girl2468) 11:43, 28 January 2006

Hello! To add a category to a userbox, add

<includeonly>[[Category:(name of category)|{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly> 

Make sure you type includeonly, or else the rest of the code will pop up on your page along with the userbox. PAGENAME adds the name of the user to the list of people in the category.

Here are some examples (from Pepsi and non-fiction)

<div style="float: left; border:solid blue 1px; margin: 1px;"> {| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: white;" | style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: blue; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|black}}};" | '''P''' | style="font-size: {{{info-s|8}}}pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: {{{info-fc|black}}};" | This user drinks '''[[Pepsi]]'''.<includeonly>[[Category:Wikipedians who drink Pepsi|{{PAGENAME}}]]</includeonly> |}</div> 

<div style="float: left; border:solid {{{1|#bbaa75}}} 1px; margin: 1px;"> {| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: {{{2|#eedda8}}};" | style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: {{{1|#000}}}; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|black}}};" | '''{{{3|[[Image:Open_book_01.png|50px]]}}}''' | style="font-size: 8pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: #000;" | This user enjoys reading '''[[non-fiction]]'''. |}</div> 

Hope that helps. If you need more help, let me know:) --Think Fast 17:20, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you give me the name of the user page besides yours that uses this template? Thanks. --Think Fast 18:50, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On 29-Jan, you blanked Tanya McQueen. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the page should be deleted, please follow the deletion procedures. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 19:34, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The west end is kind of an anomaly since there is no governing board, so its boundaries are kind of folk classification. Back in the day, Franklin Street and the Fan District were considered "West End" At some point in the 1950s, local media had named it the fan district. In the same way, the area near libbie and grove is today considered by the old guard of RVA as "west end" even though it may not seem like that to you. My best guess is west of I-195 but that's my pov on it. MPS 20:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

...doesn't get his own article until he makes it to the final 12. This is based on past discussions on Wikipedia, which have concluded that being a semi-finalist alone just doesn't justify a separate article. Don't worry, he'll make it (he had a great performance this week), and then we can just roll back the redirect. Until then, please have patience... Postdlf 01:50, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:R1105122860.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

Sorry about that. I know now that you are an Idol fan, and I apologize if you feel hurt in any way. Maybe that is why I couldn't look up Elliott Yamin's article.

Thanks for uploading Image:Josh-duhamel.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

It goes after external links, by the way. chantessy 21:49, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imput:

Great template for the American Idol page. However, the template's not really necessary on an individual AI contestant's bio page. A link to American Idol when mentioned in the text is enough. The template is more about the show's history than the individual's.

American Idol is only a part of their history, needing no more prominence than any other tangent item discussed on their bio page. Otherwise, templates for any show (or whatever item mentioned in a bio) could be added to an individual bio page... cluttering the page.

Additional info for template:

AI albums missing on the template:

-American Idol Season 2: All-Time Classic American Love Songs

-American Idol Season 1 & 2: The Great Holiday Classics (released October 14, 2003)

-American Idol Season 1: American Idol Greatest Moments (released October 1, 2002)

Yes, I see what you mean that the main AI pages will suffice, and it's not necessary for the individual contestant bio pages BUT it's also useful in uniting all the contestants, so they and their fans won't forget that it was AI that turned them from ordinary citizen to international superstar. American Idol is not your average TV show. chantessy 03:01, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey VA Gurrrl, I wanted to let you know that I have nominated Arlington County, Virginia as a candidate for US Collaboration of the Week. The article is in need of much help and with a little group effort, it could be brought to Featured Article status! I brought this to your attention as I have seen you have contributed to the article in the recent past. Please cast your vote with your signature at the US Collaboration of the Week page under Arlington County, Virginia. --Caponer 02:07, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is a lot of userboxes. I'm impressed. -VJ 03:17, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Gilmore.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. cholmes75 (chit chat) 14:26, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Va girl2468,

I am Acalamari, and I noticed that you have many userboxes on your page. Is there a site on Wikipedia where you can look at all the different userboxes? I only have one userbox, so I would be grateful if you could help me get more, please.

Sincerely,

Acalamari 16:37, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Va girl2468,

Thanks for getting back to me. Sorry you weren’t able to give me any advice, but at least you responded to my question. I contacted you because you have multiple userboxes.

I won’t be able to get my userboxes up immediately, but I promise you that you will get to see them soon.

One more thing, can you see my E-mail address now? I'd like to know because, since you responded to me using the talk pages, you should be able to see my E-mail address (hopefully!). If you can't then I've misunderstood something.

Anyway, thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Acalamari 03:32, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Va girl2468,

Okay, thanks for telling me. I'll have to go and re-read the preferences again. Obviously I made a mistake.

I'm not asking about Userboxes this time. Instead, I need some help with an article. You say on your User page that you edit anything to do with actors, actresses, bands, Henrico County, Richmond, or Virginia, or almost everything. Well, the Saving Jane article was tagged for Cleanup, so I helped clean it. I done a few things, but not enough. It's an article that you helped write. Is there anything you can do to help clean the article? If not, don't worry. Acalamari 02:58, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's much better, thanks. I did some things, but as I said in the summaries, more work was needed. The article still needs some work, but I'll see if I can do a few things to help it. Acalamari 18:28, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:VA Beach seal.gif. The image description 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.

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.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

Please read Wikipedia's external links policy for more information. If the link was to an image, please read Wikipedia's image tutorial on how to use a more appropriate method to insert the image into an article.

There have been many comments the Jamestown, Virginia article being just too big. After giving it a lot of thought, I think we could break out a major part of it into a sub-article, perhaps entitled "History of Jamestown Settlement", essentially covering the 17th century period, ending when the capital moved to Williamsburg. As a WP admininsitrator, I have the tools to do this and preserve the talk page and history, etc., but I surely do not want to move on it unilaterally. This is an important piece of WikiProject Virginia. Can we have some comments about this approach, please?

Thanks for uploading Image:B000N60HD6.01. SS500 SCLZZZZZZZ V45789859 .jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

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.BetacommandBot 21:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:705212888_l.gif. 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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.

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 21:45, 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.

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.
