Acquaintance Log - Say Hello

Hi DK :-) wlievens
How's it goin' - DB DarthBob
Awesome use of cowbell! Roby Wayne

Not PD

Many photos and most informtaion produced by the federal government in the US is PD, however imformation and images produced by the states is not generally in the PD, the state of Tennessee as far as I can tell does not release its data to the pudlic domain--nixie 3 July 2005 01:34 (UTC)

Please accept this message as an invitation to categorize your user page in the category Category:Wikipedians in Tennessee and removing your name from the Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/Tennessee page. The page will be deleted when all users have been removed. Even if you do not wish to be placed in a category, could you take a moment to remove your name from the Misplaced Pages:Wikipedians/Tennessee page? Thanks!!

For more information, please see Misplaced Pages:User categorisation and Category:Wikipedians by location. -- Roby Wayne 07:17, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Your user talk page needs less Image:Cowbell2.gif

You have the image Image:Cowbell2.gif on your user talk page; this image is copyrighted and used in the Will Ferrell article under Misplaced Pages:Fair use. The use on your user talk page of that image is unlikely to be covered by use however, and as such is probably a Copyright violation. Could you remove the image from your user page? Thanks. --fvw* 02:09, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. --fvw* 02:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

A Message to Pro-Life Wikipedians

The section "Foetal Pain" (Fetal Pain) has been deleted from the Abortion article. Could you help restore it? If you would like to see what was deleted, go to my talk page, scroll to "Fetal Pain," and click the provided link.--Thomas Aquinas 22:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

The category is in danger of getting deleted, so please vote here, thanks. BlueShirts 01:16, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Edit count

Hi: I saw your edit count and was wondering if there's an easy way to count it--other than scrolling through one's "my contributions" listing. Rlevse 15:48, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the edit link. Could you look over the article Merit badge types (BSA) and let me know what you think. It was a FAC failure, but we're almost done fixing the objections. The biggest item left is that some people didn't like the bullets. I'm having trouble deciding what to do with it. Suggestions?Rlevse 20:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

This type of censorship makes me sick

Vote to keep, show this hiporcates what's what, tolerance? ha, only when it's good for them--Diatrobica;l 23:04, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Merit badge FAC

I have re-submitted the article Merit badge types (BSA) as a FAC. Any input you may have would be appreciated.Rlevse 13:37, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Images

Please change your signature to use Image:Flag_of_the_United_States.svg instead of Image:Flag_of_the_United_States.png. The PNG file may be deleted in the near future. —Guanaco 04:53, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities

Hi Danthemankhan, Googie Man here. I'm a fellow baseball fan on Misplaced Pages. I wanted to let you know, in case you don't already, there's a new Wiki website founded by Jimbo and Angela called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Misplaced Pages, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done such great work on Misplaced Pages I was hoping you could help me get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Plesase let me know what you think either on my talk page or my email at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man, 21:00, 2 January 2006.

Scouting article improvement

User:Gadget850 has started User talk:Gadget850/BSA article improvements as a step toward improving the BSA section of Misplaced Pages. Please visit this page and participate if you are interested or cross yourself out of the "Interested Wikipedians" if you are not interested. Thank you. Rlevse 18:18, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Please adopt your state

I have now completed the transition from state list to articles on Scouting in each state, as per Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards, for merger and improvement of articles. Please help fill in some blanks at Scouting in Tennessee! Thanks, YiS, Chris 09:13, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Scouting Barnstarn

Did you see this proposal? Scouting Barnstarn --evrik 20:43, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Category war

Please consider going to Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_deletion#Category:Boy_Scouts_of_America_controversy_and_Category:Boy_Scouts_of_America_controversies_to_.28he_didn.27t_say_what.29 and voting on this (we want delete) and the "Contentious issues" listing right below it (we want keep). There are constant edit wars on the "Controversies about..." article, so I don't really worry about it, but I would like to keep the contentious issues grouped together in the project as they relate to Scouting. Rlevse 11:56, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

The Beatles' Christmas Album

Hi! It's really great to see you've adopted The Beatles' Christmas Album article. The most obvious need is an infobox (with the album cover image) and images of each flexidisc which made up the album. Fortunately the link you provided offers such bounties :-) --kingboyk 05:37, 8 March 2006 (UTC) (PS I don't have your page on watch, but I've added The Beatles' Christmas Album to my list and I of course watch the WikiProject)

Thanks again for your work on that article. You've done a great job and it looks splendid! :) --kingboyk 18:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Issues with The Andy Griffith Show

Hi. I just wanted to make you aware of a complicated issue that involves an article you created. Please see this link for details and discussion. In summary, your TAGS episodes article is very well done and structured nicely but concensus is that it is redundant of the "official" TAGS episodes article which needs to be renamed properly with the word "The", thereby forcing the moving, renaming, or deletetion of the article you created. Fife Club 04:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Scouting article work

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


greetings

I'm new here so I thought I'd introduce myself to some of the people here--ChaplineRVine 14:41, 28 December 2024 (UTC)


Greetings from WikiProject The Beatles!

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 1 - May 2006
Project news

Some project tips

  • Stick the following template {{Template:WPBeatles}} on relevant articles. We have 500+ already but may have missed some!
  • Use British/English grammar and spelling per Policy
  • A few moments checking other editors contributions is always appreciated.
  • Don't be shy on using the talk pages. It's where a lot of stuff gets decided.

From the Editors

Welcome to the inaugural issue of The Beatles WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this newsletter will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new things to do within the project that they may wish to participate in.

Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome. We would like to emphasise that this is a collaborative Project and all editors are equal - so next month the newsletter editor might be you!

kingboyk, LessHeard vanU and Lar

Signpost

The Project has got off to a great start but we really need your help to keep it going. Here's a few things you can do:


Complete Todo List:
Open tasks for WikiProject The Beatles.

Edit or discuss these tasks.

As the project is currently just starting, our more experienced editors are working on the project infrastructure, classifying articles, and listing/assessing red links. Your assistance is welcome. If you would prefer to just edit - and why wouldn't you? - we have a choice selection of red links to turn blue and articles to clean! Now let's get busy.

If you complete one of these tasks, please remove it from the list and add your achievement to the project log.

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter, Issue 2, June 2006

WikiProject The Beatles Newsletter
Issue 2 – June 2006

Beatles News
  • Apple Corps v. Apple Computer. A case brought by Apple Corps against Apple Computer, regarding possible infringement of a previous agreement between the two parties in respect of distribution of music, was heard in a London High Court. The story made Misplaced Pages's front page due to a nomination by our own Kingboyk. The story had an amusing second wave in the news and on Misplaced Pages; be sure to read the article on Guy Goma if you missed it!
Project News
  • The hottest Project page this month has been Policy Talk, where some lively discussion has taken place regarding the (perennial) question of the capitalisation of the letter T in "The Beatles". After seeking the comments of Wikipedian third parties unrelated to the project, the proponents and opponents concluded that the current naming policy was correct. The discussion had the added bonus of bringing in some new members.
Member News
  • Project member (and "co-instigator" of The Beatles Project) Lar was made an Administrator. Project member Kingboyk (the other guilty party) has been awarded a Music Barnstar for his contributions, including his work within The Beatles Project, and has also stewarded the KLF article to Featured Article status this month. Sometimes-contributor ZincOrbie has also been awarded a Barnstar for his work on the Badfinger article. Congratulations to all!
Issue of the Month

The matter of the article History of the Beatles and the History section of the main article The Beatles continues to concern various editors, including DavidWBrooks and Vera, Chuck & Dave. Suggestions, comments, or help with the task would be much appreciated.

From the Editors

The Beatles have been in the real world news recently, but work on The Beatles Project continues as before. This newsletter keeps you up-to-date with what has been happening with the project and, perhaps more importantly, what needs to be done (see the "Issue of the Month" above and the "To Do List" below-left).

If you've just joined, add your name to the Participants section of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject The Beatles. You'll get a mention in the next issue of the Newsletter and get it delivered as desired. Also, please include your own promotions and awards in future issues. Don't be shy!

Lastly, this is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue (Issue 003 – July 2006). All and any contributions are welcome. Just let yourself be known to any of the undersigned, or start editing!
