Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. You may find the articles at our help department, well, helpful. Wikipedia:How to edit a page is a good one. The best way though is to look aat how othre articles are put together and then just imitate that. You might want to get a username too (they're free and easy). There are many advantages, such as a Wikipedia:watchlist to track edits to articles in which you're interested. Cheers, - Willmcw 08:23, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Shawnee, Kansas, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. For more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, take a look at our Five Pillars. Happy editing!

Howdy, thanks for the contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed you changed the link on the Abel Prize to be Norwegian Academy of Sciences, rather than Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. Rather than change the name on all the pages which cite it, perhaps we could make a redirect page for it? I think the appropriate name should be Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, and redirect Norwegian Academy of Science there.

It's swell that you're adding so much content to Wikipedia, but the connections that you are making are not in sync with the rest of the project. Things like adding the article USS Missouri to category:Tide. What's the relevance? Or adding Thinklets to Category:Oceanography?
That's just the tip of the iceberg, in addition to all of the other stuff on the talk pages, the Google links, the addition of a link back from every topic on the Roving Outdoor Conservation School syllabus, the name of every one who ever passed through the state into List of famous Minnesotans, the Arkansas River to many water categories, and so on.
Please explain your edits better, and don't make quite so many connections, particularly to topics that are near and dear. Yes, everything is connected somehow, but the usual threshold in this project is higher than you've been setting. I also wish you'd read Wikipedia:categorization, and Wikipedia:external links again. I do appreciate your contributions, but I find them a bit bewildering. - Will Beback 04:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

You posted some good information to the Talk/Discussion page of the SOSUS article, which confused me. Why not put that in the main article itself? John Broughton 23:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your addition to the Prediction article... the sentence is now talking about two different things? Future history is an author's concept of a future, and does not necessarily contain instances of prediction by unconventional means? On the separate subject of whether science fiction stories about the future (including Future Histories) are predictions, I'd say that more often they could be characterized as answering the question "What if...". Thought I'd bring it up here rather than tromp on your edits... :-) Postagoras 23:27, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks ... The Minnesota Futurists Chapter advocates futures techniques for forecasting alternative futures much like a meteorologist forecasting seasonal weather patterns.
The overuse of "prediction" in the context of
futures studies implies more precison than these anticipatory thinking protocols can support even when pursued as anticipatory science!

I've noticed (on Cimarron, New Mexico and Cimarron River) you linked to the various Talk pages in the text of articles. This is not generally a good practice - talk pages are where Wikipedians discuss what should go on article pages - generally, there is no need to mention or link to this discussion in the article itself. I have also noticed that you use talk pages in a somewhat idocyncratic way - I confess that I am somewhat puzzled as to the meaning of Talk:Cimarron_River. (Maybe you could explain it, if you wish.) A page which discusses the normal use of talk pages (and which you might find useful to read) is Wikipedia:Talk page. I have also seen you do various self-links (i.e. linking to a page which on the same page); this is also generally not useful - when you want to mention the topic of the page, you don't need to link to it - it is good style to bold the first mention of the topic (which should be in the first sentence of the page), but otherwise the topic should not be visually distinguished in the text of the page. See Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#Article_titles, Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links), and Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context(for some thoughts and discussion). If you have any questions about this or anything else on Wikipedia, please ask, either me(via my talk page), or one of the general wikipedia question-asking places(i.e. Wikipedia:Help desk). Thanks!

For a while, you had inserted {{ User scienceCOTW}} into your signature, which has incorrectly put a number of pages into Category:User_Participant_Science_COTW, which you can see by going to that page.

Thanks for uploading Image:L4R25pHawaii-Highpoints VirtualTour-MauiROCS LLd-5321.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{ GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Rmhermen 19:53, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
I have reverted all you changes this evening to the licenses of the images you uploaded as none of them seem correct. You labeled several photographs and copyrighted maps as logos which they clearly are not. You labeled several maps as drawn by you which appear to contain both public domain USGS information and proprietary information (mainly from National Geographic). You do not own the copyright on National Geographic's information (which I believe is the streets and street names) and cannot release it under either GFDL or CC. If the map contains only USGS material, it should be licensed as {{PD-USGov-Interior-USGS}}, that is public domain from the USGS. If the map contains only USGS material and material added by yourself it could be licensed as GFDL or CC with respect to the material you added and a mention of the USGS public domain source for the underlying map itself.

Subject: RE: Tracing NGS-EUL
Bob,
My fault. When I got into the details of your request, I realized our EUL program would not support your needs. Before I sent you a blanket negative response, I wanted to give it some thought to try and figure out how we could help.
Our EUL program is set up to support users who want to include reproductions from TOPO! in guidebooks and on web site. Attached is the EUL document template for your review. Be delighted to give permission for either one. If a website, please provide the URL and brief description of the purpose of the site, for a publication, please provide title, publisher, edition and brief description.
As far as Kinkos goes the single user license you own, already provides you the rights you need. It gives your the authority to print and reproduce an unlimited number of hardcopy maps as long as the maps are being distributed freely and our copyright notices appears in legible form (see output limitations section of license) . While I can not give an EUL to charge for the maps, perhaps you can figure out a work around that will allow you to distribute the maps freely but recover your production costs in another ways. Hopefully this will get your program up and running.
Please let me know if you have additional questions about Kinkos, or would like permission to include the maps in a website or publication that is for sale. Again, be delighted to give permission for either one. If a website, please provide the URL and brief description of the purpose of the site, for a publication, please provide title, publisher, edition and brief description. Thanks for your long time support and continued interest in TOPO! Interactive Maps
Happy new years

I see you've mentioned that you like to use article talk pages as "staging areas" for material.

A tag has been placed on File:KCAHTA California-Road Crossings.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current
Arbitration Committee election. The
Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia

site bans,
topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The
arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to
review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on

You are invited to participate in the 50,000 Challenge, aiming for 50,000 article improvements and creations for articles relating to the United States. This effort began on November 1, 2016 and to reach our goal, we will need editors like you to participate, expand, and create. See more here! |

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest!
