Our friends are back. I have requested a checkuser. JodyB yak, yak, yak 14:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm still awaiting the checkuser report. It wouldn't surprise me to find that is an instructor as the ideas behind the comments are not very common among younger people. Anyway, the IP is included in the checkuser at WP:RFCU. If so, I will ask another administrator to make the blocks. JodyB yak, yak, yak 21:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Report is back here and confirms my suspicions. I have asked another admin to take a look since I really shouldn't do any blocking/protecting in this case. JodyB yak, yak, yak 01:29, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

They are blocked. Of course, the IP's could show up but the page is presently semi-protected. I know he's edited at Daphne.--JodyB yak, yak, yak 22:47, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Willie Bean

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Willie Bean requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. DavidWS (contribs) 17:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

Oddball Barnstar for Willie Bean

  The Oddball Barnstar
I stumbled upon Willie Bean the other day and was impressed by the work you put forward making this a really good page. Even though it's definitely a unique article, it still meets the guidelines for what is "appropriate" for Wikipedia. Therefore I award you the Oddball Barnstar for this contribution Raven1977 (talk) 19:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dear WikiProject Video games member,

You are receiving this message because you have either Category:WikiProject Video games members or {{User WPVG}} somewhere in your userspace and you have edited Wikipedia in recent months.

The Video games project has created a member list to provide a clearer picture of its active membership.

All members have currently been placed in the "Inactive" section by default. Please remove your username from the "Inactive" listing and place it under the "Active" listing if you plan on regularly:

Ideally, members are encouraged to do both, but either one meets our criteria of inclusion. Members still listed inactive at the beginning of November 2009 may be removed. You may re-add yourself to the active list at any time. Thank you for your help, and we look forward to working with you.

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors wanted in Troy, Alabama

edit

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're a member of WikiProject Alabama. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at Troy University, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

I know Alabama is a big state, but if you happen to live near Troy and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from Troy who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 16:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Alabama Moon (novel)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Alabama Moon (novel) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 10:27, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Okay... I've removed the CSD template and added an underconstruction tag. I've also added a brief sentence to avoid another no-context nomination. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 10:40, 7 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

User:Ajcadoo/Online video game networking service

I am trying to start out this article before posting it. I haven't seen anything similar to this on Wikipedia before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajcadoo (talkcontribs) 06:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

I would ask that to the entire Wikipedia Video Game Project. A link is on my User page in the buttons. My personal opinion is that it probably would not given that systems move by generation. As such, not all providers, Microsoft being one, have changed the overall "look and feel" of way they connect users. XBoxLive kept a majority of its users from the XBL network. Sony, on the other hand, evolved over time through single instance networks for games like SOCOM, Final Fantasy XI and Metal Gear Solid. Nintendo Wii's network is also in a first stage. I guess after writing this out, if you took and applied a 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, et al., network refined approach to it, you would appeal to a much larger group instead of a much broader approach that this reads as. Just my two cents ^_^ Mnemnoch (talk) 23:54, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speculation on PlayStation Network

edit

Hi. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. It doesn't speculate what may be, particularly if it is uncited speculation not contained in any reliable source. Uncited, and controversial information, can be removed at any time when challenged. If you wish it to be in the article you need to cite it form a good source that makes it clear it isn't just speculation. Thanks. --Escape Orbit (Talk) 23:27, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I am aware of WP:CRYSTAL and WP:VERIFIABLE, however we are dealing with a current event. The intrusion was not even reported on US-CERT, yet it announced that it happened 8 days prior to the public being informed, according to the article from Sony cited, of the information leak. The assertion should be left on the article with the citation needed tag as the event should be quantified and ranked due to the number of users effected as well as the amount of information leaked. In other words, if a Corporation is going to start reminding me that I have the right to freeze my credit and potentially claim ID Theft due to an event with their network, it no longer becomes speculation as that is where anyone in their right mind should start worrying about what was shared. And what it was may not be told of for months to come. Therefore, I have made a remark on the discussion page to freeze the statement from removal as well as my own good will effort to tag the statement as citation needed for a reasonable amount of time. Thanks for your comments. Please feel free to reply if you have anything else you would like to share.Mnemnoch (talk) 23:48, 26 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hey. There is a mention of the Playstatin Portable version in the re-releases section (last paragraph). It also has its individual article. Is that not sufficient, you think?–RalfiParpa (talk) 10:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello. I've added the appended information onto the end of the beginning of the article. The summary should have the most current information so I've gone ahead and Been Bold and just added it where it should be. In other words, the summary should reflect the most recent release when applicable. In this case, it made it seem as if the Wii version was the last to be released (if you read it that way).

2019 US Banknote Contest

edit
  US Banknote Contest  
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
