License tagging for File:WoodSpoon.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:WoodSpoon.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:08, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too! Commprac01 (talk) 02:41, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Priezd-griboedova-v-sp-kriv.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Priezd-griboedova-v-sp-kriv.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Kdmitry}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 04:06, 20 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 04:58, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle

Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon

Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge.

In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts.

We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor.

Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

What: Improving Wikipedia's coverage on queer and women artists of color
When: Saturday, May 6, 1-5pm
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, WA 98105
Who: People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm

For more info see
the meetup page
for Art+Feminism.

Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color.

This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent.

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates.

When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, Washington 98105
Who: Everyone is welcome.
What to bring: A laptop and power cord. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affliated participants.

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos

In the Seattle area?

Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115

Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia.

Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations.

Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done.

For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5 PM

For more info see
the meetup page
for Art+Feminism.

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.

Let’s change that.

To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color.

Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided.

All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants.

Please create a Wikipedia account before the event.

Tenant (Office 365) moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Tenant (Office 365), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Tenant (Office 365) (October 20)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Liance was:

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Office 365. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Tenant (Office 365) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Tenant (Office 365), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Kdmitry! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Draft:Tenant (Office 365) concern

Hi there, I'm HasteurBot. I just wanted to let you know that Draft:Tenant (Office 365), a page you created, has not been edited in 5 months. The Articles for Creation space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for articlespace.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:28, 21 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Tenant (Office 365)

Hello, Kdmitry. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Tenant".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Password Change Notification Service

The article Password Change Notification Service has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP: NOTABILITY and lacks any information or citations which makes it inclusion as an article worthwhile.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Totalvision

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 Totalvision requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.cinematheque.fr/fr/catalogues/appareils/collection/objectif-anamorphoseur-de-prise-de-vuesap-03-2430.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Draft:Totalvision

Hi. I've moved this to draft, where you can work to try to bring it up to the required standard for inclusion and then submit it for review. Please do not move it to article space yourself. Deb (talk) 20:26, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Kdmitry,

I see you didn't follow this advice and recreated this article back in main space. That was not appropriate. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:44, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well, good evening Liz. Frankly, I am a bit surprised that after many years of writing articles this is a new rule of some sorts. 1) I get it, translating a page form French is not a Wikipedia article a) I have done my best to actually create an article. If you think it should be a draft first... well alright, let's mark it as a draft.

Would you pint me to the a rule where articles must be created a drafts? How new is this rule? Thanks! Kdmitry (talk) 02:40, 26 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kdmitry There is no rule that articles must be created as drafts. There is also no rule that you can't translate from a Wikipedia article in another language - but that's not what you did; you translated from a copyright article on another site. However, in view of your failure to follow the guidelines first time round, you were asked to submit your article for review when you recreated it. You have also removed tags that were placed on your article second time around. Deb (talk) 09:20, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Deb, I see that you are a volunteer administrator and a veteran of Wikipedia, I do appreciate your time and work. As an admin you should have a clear timeline of events, right? So let's review:

1. Author creates an article based on a translation of copyrighted material (not good)

2. The article is tagged for speedy deletion (rightfully so)

3. Admin Deb marks an article that was tagged for speedy deletion as a "draft" and suggests to re-submit it as a draft (alright, that's doable)

4. Author comes back to re-write the article in a required fashion to find that his article is fully deleted -- draft or otherwise, it is gone for good

5. Author re-writes a new article putting a lot of effort and research into it. It is published in the main space since the author considers this article worthy of Wikipedia standard and notable enough for the world to preserve the knowledge about cinematographic history. This particular Author has done so for many years without any issues, in fact not even being aware of "draft" mode existence up until admin Deb has mentioned it. Naturally, Author hopes that others will contribute to the article whenever it is necessary to enhance the material.

6. Another reviewer Onel5969 marks an article as "not notable", and "Uncategorized", since the author neglected to add categories, leaving the review open to a wide audience vs pointing to somebody with some kind of knowledge of the subject, or an interest in a specific category.

7. Author follows the rules and adds "notability" references, clearly following Wikipedia rules, then he removes the "not notable" tag exactly as Wikipedia rules guide him to do

8. A day later admin Deb returns to the space to chastise the Author for not following her advice (pardon me if I am wrong with my pronouns), saying that there's no RULE that prevents a user from doing exactly what he did. Moreover, she mixes up multiple events saying following your failure to follow the guidelines first time round and you were asked to submit your article for review while in the same sentence saying There is no rule that articles must be created as drafts. Additionally, admin Deb forgoes the history review of the current page and says You have also removed tags that were placed on your article second time around, while Wikipedia rules are clearly saying: Maintenance templates (or "tags") are not removed automatically. Even if you fix the issue(s) described in a maintenance template, the tag will remain in the article until you or someone else manually removes it. The mechanics of removal are usually as simple as clicking "Edit" at the top of the page or in the section involved (if you're not already in edit mode), removing the code that produces the display of the template, and leaving an edit summary, and saving the page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Maintenance_template_removal

The author has clearly done so by fixing the issues found and has added a comment while removing that tag, exactly as prescribed:

Removing "notability|1=Companies|date=August 2022" tag. Added context, categories, and more references should demonstrate the notable value of this entry. Totalvision was a European counterpart and competitor to Cinemascope in North America from the 1960s-the 1970s. The film format war is the rough equivalent of the VHS vs Betamax format war of the late 1970s into 1980s. It is significant to preserve references to that era and events for all who are interested in the cinematography's history

So, while I appropriate your vigilance @Deb, I believe that you have your facts a little bit confused and possibly overreacting. Thank you for your time. Regards. Kdmitry (talk) 18:21, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what the issue is you have here Kdmitry. You rightly accept your wrongdoing in posting a translated version of copyrighted material which I detected, and you accept that was not an appropriate action. deb should have deleted this outright rather than draftify, but that's by-the-by and we have resolved that matter. However, the advice/suggestion to you, that you were asked to develop any future iteration of the article in draftspace is entirely reasonable and based on the uncertainties surrounding your understanding of copyright and what is an appropriate article. I don't think there is any contradiction in the statement, as it's clearly stated writing a draft first is not mandatory (or a rule as you note), but that you were asked (as a voluntary action) to do so, but not required. The mention of moving maintenance tags may be due to a lack of additional sufficient/appropriate references to support the prose, though I do observe the additional of what appear to be two offline foreign-language sources. I do have concerns over the sourcing of the "Italy" section though.

For what it's worth, I think you have made a fair effort to address the copyvio concerns I raised and when I cross-checked, could not identify any copyvio issues on the current article. I am not wholly sold on notability, however as I noted to deb, that would only really be a matter of discussion if someone decided to raise an AfD.

Hello, Kdmitry,

Frankly, I am not a bit surprised that "after many years of writing articles" (during which you've made a total of only 425 edits to the English Wikipedia), you didn't know the rules about copyright violations. You know them now so next time you won't get such an easy ride. When you create a new article, please make sure that it meets the Wikipedia criteria for inclusion or it will get deleted. If you're lucky, it will just get moved to draft. If you are so unfamiliar with the guidelines that you think IMDb is a reliable source, I recommend you don't remove tags on articles you've created without first checking with someone more experienced. This is why you should have used the Wikipedia:AfC facility second time around and you are very lucky that the article wasn't deleted a second time. You are the only one who is confused about the order of events.

Our guidelines are frequently tightened up, so you need to edit more than once a year in order to keep up with them. My advice to you is not to go around thinking you are hard done by until you actually have some experience of creating acceptable articles. Deb (talk) 08:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ruralscope moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Ruralscope, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ruralscope (August 27)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Deb was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Ruralscope and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
