[edit] Cleanup taskforce
Hi, I have added a task to your desk. Andreww 05:29, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for the cleanup of Captain George Shelvocke. You had done most of the things needed to close the task -- all I did was change the taskforce closed tag from {{cleanup taskforce closed|}} to {{cleanup taskforce closed|Captain George Shelvocke}} and added [[Wikipedia:Cleanup taskforce closed/Captain George Shelvocke]] to Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/closed. Cheers. Andreww 06:31, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Peetiewheatstraw.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Peetiewheatstraw.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 23:37, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article on Reeves James
This article was listed under cleanup for February 11th. RJFJR and I went over it for grammatical errors and style, but the facts need checking. Could you take a look at it? Mgummess 23:23, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
- I agree with you. How do you go about getting an article removed? I'm a new user, and I'm not familiar with the standing policy.
- I've added it to the list of proposed deletions so it will be dealt with in the next few days, hopefully. C i d 10:15, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
Greetings. You are receiving this boilerplate notice because you have a task on your Cleanup Taskforce desk that has not been updated for over 30 days. If you do not wish to complete this task please assign it to another active Cleanup Taskforce member who has space on their desk. If you do not wish to receive cleanup requests on your desk any more, you may remove yourself from the membership list. If you or someone else has completed the task, you can close it by adding {{cleanup taskforce closed|ARTICLE NAME HERE}} to the article's talk page and removing it from Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce. If you have a status update (e.g. you intend to work on it in the future) or need help, you can update the collaboration page (which is linked from your desk). Also feel free to reply to the person who left you this message. --Randy 19:47, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Joseph Magliocco.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Joseph Magliocco.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 18:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think a link to the website where this image was taken from should suffice. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 19:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Weetabix
Hi! I have reverted your additions to the above article. If you are able to provide some references then please do not hesitate re-adding your additions. Thanks, --Ali K 14:04, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not being able to provide a web-based reference definitely does not mean it isn't true. I was trying to maintain references for the article, but you are entirely right, you titled it "trivia" and hence should not really need a reference. My justification is that I was making sure you had not made it up off the top of your head. Now I know you heard it on the radio (and many others are sure to have heard it as well) I think it is back to where it should be. Sorry for the inconvenience. --Ali K 14:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bonanno Crime Family
Hi, indeed, I assume you refer to Little Joe Shots. I agree that his contributions amount to a lot of uncorrobarated fairy tales. He is not only trashing the Bonnano article but every US Mafia Family article and the Apalachin Meeting article as well (see his Contributions log). I already put a request for verification on the Bonnano and Apalachin article, but he seems to be totally unresponsive. Maybe we should revert to the pre-Little Joe Shots versions to make him aware that there are some serious doubts about his contributions. Mafia Expert 15:38, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
OK, we will give him some time. On the other hand his contributions are making the articles unreadable and do not fit the WP standards. He has to be more concise or we have to revert to the previous versions. --Mafia Expert 15:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
I have changed the tag from "verify" into "disputed" and asked for references. If not I think we should revert to the pre-Little Joe Shots version. --Mafia Expert 17:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup Taskforce
Are you interested in working on the article about the guitarist Kevin_Cadogan? RJFJR 17:35, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Yeah I'll take that on in the next couple of days. C i d 20:59, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- It's on your desk. Thank you. RJFJR 22:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the fast job. You know what they say about if you do a good job, you get more work? Well... I jut added Wikipedia:Cleanup Taskforce/Gob (band) to your desk. accept, reject or let me know and I'll reassign it, please. Thank you. RJFJR 14:38, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Trashing of Mafia article
Hello, Little Joe Shots is now trashing the Mafia article. I reverted his editions to the previous version, and left this message:
- I have reverted the edits of Little Joe Shots. This contributor is regurlarly trashing articles on Mafia related issues with unreferenced, unreliable, badly written contributions that lack Wikipedia standards. -- Mafia Expert 11:42, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
I think this user has to be stopped trashing articles and damaging the contributions of other people. Is there something we can do about this? -- Mafia Expert 11:52, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
