Talk:Shipwrecks of the 1913 Great Lakes storm

Please take a look at this. Best regards. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 14:00, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Stan

A couple of misplaced ships from the Big Blow of 1913.

John A. McGean

This wreck is listed as being proximate to Sturgeon Point Light. However, I found this on line, which indicates that it sank near Harbor Beach, Michigan. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Stan

I've personally concluded that the McGean went down just east of Harbor Beach, Michigan. See what I wrote at Sturgeon Point Light, which contains references. I respectfully suggest that this be cleaned up in this article.7&6=thirteen (talk) 00:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Stan

Isaac M. Scott

Isaac M. Scott wreck is listed as being proximate to Sturgeon Point Light. However, the location of the wreck as described in the following article seems to contradict that. It states that mariners made certain assumptions about the likely direction of the vessel, and had wrongly guessed where it went down. It states: "In 1976, the wreck of the Scott was discovered at 175 feet about six to seven miles northeast of Thunder Bay Island. The vessel is upside down and half buried in the mud." 7&6=thirteen (talk) 19:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)Stan

I've personally concluded that the Scott went down 7 miles northeast of Thunder Bay Island. See what I wrote at Sturgeon Point Light, which contains references. I respectfully suggest that this be cleaned up in this article.7&6=thirteen (talk) 00:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)Stan

Fair use rationale for Image:MontyPythonHolyGrailCastShot.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MontyPythonHolyGrailCastShot.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 Misplaced Pages 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 14:28, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:American_Civil_War_Theaters.png

Thanks for uploading Image:American_Civil_War_Theaters.png. 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Kelly 06:09, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Merger proposed

I'm proposing a merger on an article you worked on. Since the shelf clouds and roll clouds are subset of the arcus clouds, they should be integrated into the later article. This would make a more complete article instead of splitting the information among three articles. Anwer in Talk:arcus cloud.

Bias in ITN?

The fact that it has the capability to attack Israel is the main reason for it being newsworthy. weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 21:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, msh210 from enwikt here. I'm posting this message here because your talkpage there redirects (so to speak) hither. There's discussion on wikt:WT:RFDO about renaming wikt:Category:Requested articles to wikt:Category:Requested entries. That woudl entail modifying your hotlist pages, which are in the former. Do you have any objection to others' editing your hotlist pages to change the cat?—msh210℠ 22:11, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I removed the pic because it got two opposes almost straight off the bat and I didn't think it was worth continuing with it. Do you think I should stick it back on?-- Seahamlass 12:52, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Respect Thread Conversions

I'm looking for folks to help convert Respect Threads to wiki formatting on Project Fanboy: WikiFans. Respect Threads, showcase scans of feats performed by comic book characters and have gained an audience on several comic book message boards. A few other wiki editors and myself are trying to convert them from the unprofessional look of a bunch of posts on a message board to the formatting common with WikiMedia wiki's. To view an example of what we're doing, here is a link to Respect Silver Surfer.

I was wondering if you might have time to contribute your comic book knowledge and/or scans of comic book characters performing feats, and help us out with our Respect Articles project?Millennium Cowboy (talk) 02:24, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Along the River During the Qingming Festival

I just want to delist the nomination and delete the image and start all over again because everybody that voted did not all vote for the same version which is not fair. Also I do not like how when you look on commons it says there are like 4 different versions of it. I just want there to be one version, the original version, and I want it to be under my name so I get credit for it. Daniel Chiswick (talk) 23:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Well can you help me? I really want to see this picture featured but I am screwing this up and I need some help because I have never nominated a picture before. Daniel Chiswick (talk) 14:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
