License tagging for Image:FPLP Maggie.png

Thanks for uploading Image:FPLP Maggie.png. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 16:05, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Facebook.png, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted.

Grace Community Church (California)

Grace Community Church (California) has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this article might represent a conflict of interest or otherwise seemed to be advertising. As such, it may not be appropriate for an article. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod notice, the deletion process will stop, but if an editor is still not satisfied that the article meets Misplaced Pages guidelines, it may be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion for consensus.

Love the Travel Userboxes

Thanks for your work on these! Is there anything I can do about the extra space that appears under each one? --Robb0995 05:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Visited England

England is not a country, it is part of the United Kingdom. - Patricknoddy 3:17pm, January 15, 2007

RE: England is a country

Although England is a constituent country of the United Kingdom, that's basically the equivalent of a U.S. state. - Patricknoddy 5:29pm, January 16, 2007

You are also wrong because England is not a sovereign state. - Patricknoddy 3:40pm, January 17, 2007

Baptists

User 63.105.65.5 does not seem to understand Misplaced Pages conventions. He / she seems intent on a complete re-writing of what is already an excellent page. Thanks for keeping a watchful eye. (Some American Wikipedians have a tendency to write about the Baptists as though the USA was the only country that has them. Also, because of their mistaken view of the origins of the Baptists, they seem unaware of their connections with the English Disenters. This is somthing else to watch out for). All the best.

Image:Hokie.png

I have retagged this image as {{univ-logo}}. Please see for further explanation. Since rights are held by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and this image is not used in any main namespace articles, it is now orphaned and subject to deletion if it does not become used in an actual article within seven days time. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. --Durin 21:48, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Baptist Edits

HokieRNB, I just read your message about my edits. Could you explain to me exactly how a "consensus" is achieved? When I signed on with Misplaced Pages I was warned that anything I wrote could be unmercifully edited. Does that only apply to certain people? Do I have to have someone's permission before making an edit? Mark Osgatharp

Userboxes/Faith

Dear HokieRNB

I have added a "Faith" page to the Userboxes gallery. A number of faith-based userboxes bear your username, so I thought that I should let you know! As a relative newcomer to Misplaced Pages I don't know if this means (a) you created these boxes or (b) you created a template from which other Wikipedians have made them. Either way, please feel welcome to visit the new page of the gallery and say on its discussion page what you think. If you know of faith-based userboxes that I have not included, please contribute them to the gallery page!

By the way, I am English and I am saddened by any suggestion that my homeland might not be a country! The English have lived here for well over a thousand years. We are no less a country for having united our parliament with that of Scotland three centuries ago. The teams that represent England by playing cricket, soccer etc. represent a country, not a region or province or something!

Nevertheless, on my userpage I have tried to sidestep the issue by listing "Territories" that I have visited rather than countries. I realise that this courts misunderstanding, because Misplaced Pages defines "Territory" as a subdivision of a country. However, I have used the term as the pretext for a complete mixture of national and regional flags, simply because I find it more fun and more interesting!

Publication lists

What is the standard (or preferred) format for a list of publications by an author? HokieRNB 16:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

You can probably find the answer at Misplaced Pages:Guide to layout. John Reaves (talk) 17:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
