Addition of sylphagora to forum comparison

Might I suggest you add the forum you coded, Sylphagora, to Comparison of Internet forum software, in the appropriate section? Thanks! Talrias | talk 14:09, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Ah, good idea. Thanks. ^.^/ -- Vystrix Nexoth 22:36, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

I also suggest that you don't link to your user page from the main article - instead, link to your real name, for example. Linking to your user page is somewhat confusing as it switches from an encyclopediac article to an informal user info page. I'm not explaining that very well, am I? :) Talrias | talk 23:14, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, I go strictly by "Vystrix Nexoth" for online endeavours. Though, perhaps a regular Vystrix Nexoth article may be in order (or perhaps ...just another vision... Studios, the name of my website, which can double as an "organization" name)? -- Vystrix Nexoth 23:31, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

It's really your call. It's just a suggestion by me! Ignore it at your leisure. ;) Talrias | talk 23:41, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dennis Hastert

I noticed that you listed 3 separate sets of dates for Hastert's tenure as speaker. I don't understand why you didn't just list January 6, 1999 to present. You list gaps of 1 day and 4 days between the terms, but there was no other speaker elected during those gaps, so he would have still been the incumbent. It is customary to list a politicians multiple terms as (start of 1st term) - (end of last term or "present"), unless there was a gap like Grover Cleveland. Perhaps you had a reason that I failed to grasp? Rogerd 05:55, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The separate dates were added by DLJessup; I decided to keep them since someone thought they were important enough to mention. My edit was just to add his Representative tenure to the succession tables. -- Vystrix Nexoth 06:01, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Zelda-challenge sword.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Zelda-challenge sword.png. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use Image:Michael_Peroutka.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Michael_Peroutka.jpg. I noticed 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 {{di-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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 12:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Final Fantasy Hackster.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Final Fantasy Hackster.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 '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.

Replaceable fair use File:Lunar Magic.png

Thanks for uploading File:Lunar Magic.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Non-free rationale for File:Comparison of Dragon Warrior and Dragoon X Omega.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Comparison of Dragon Warrior and Dragoon X Omega.png. 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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Comparison of Dragon Warrior and Dragoon X Omega.png

Thank you for uploading File:Comparison of Dragon Warrior and Dragoon X Omega.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. RJaguar3 | u | t 23:33, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of File:Sylphagora.png

The file File:Sylphagora.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Uploaded for Sylphagora. No other use.

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 files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Members of the public are invited to come to the museum to learn about the editing process, its history, its impact, and how to do it. We aim to collaboratively edit/enter Jewish women artists into the canon. An experienced regional Wikipedian will provided will be on site to teach, support, and guide the process. Participants can select artists ahead of time or on site.
