User talk:ToddC4176

NOTICE: I am here because I like fixing things, especially articles involving my native Massachusetts and other things which I have been directly involved with. If you look at my contributions page, you'll see a very, very, very long list. I am no rookie; don't treat me as one. -TC

Hi ToddC4176, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a few important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 02:50, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:DD-850.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DD-850.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 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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 14:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think i have found some direct plagiarism on one of the pages and I'm wondering what should be done about it....

Hello, ToddC4176. What page are you refering to? GofG _|^|_| Contribs 18:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have been attempting to clean up some of the college athletic facility pages, and I came across the one for Boone Pickens Stadium. It seemed pretty messy, but when i went looking for more information, I noticed that it includes most of the sections from this page, eight article down. THe information is almost directly taken from that article.

The tip-off was the line from the Wiki article, "Boone Pickens Stadium, formerly known as Lewis Field, is home to the Oklahoma State University college football program. Boone Pickens Stadium, the home of Oklahoma State Football, is a far cry from what the student body expected when they were renaming the field before the 1914 football season."

If you look at the page linked above from OkState.com, you'll see that its first line is, "Boone Pickens Stadium, formerly Lewis Field and home of Oklahoma State football, is a far cry from what the school's student body of 1914 ever expected when they named the "Athletic Field" after Laymon Lowery Lewis. " Whoever made this page just cut & pasted parts of it all over the place in the article....

Please sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~) As for the plagiarism... Technically it is allowed, as long as the site that the information is copied from is under the Public Domain, or the GFDL license. Of course, it is frowned upon. No action is necessary, really. You should definetly email the okstate.com webmaster and ask what license the data is published under, and if it is not GFDL or public domain, then confront the plagiarist and inform an administrator. GofG _|^|_| Contribs 20:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I forgot. If he doesn't reference the site that he got it from, please do so or ask him to do so. GofG _|^|_| Contribs 20:15, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have begun working on the table itself and the nicknames list on the portal. I'm attempting to do it a letter (or letters, depending...) at a time. I still need to finish a few more Sun Belt stadiums, but most have been at least started. ToddC4176 22:32, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did not accuse you of something wrong. And the rhetoric question on my user page has nothing to do with your images. The deal is simple: the two above images where orphaned (i.e. not used in any article) lower resolution copies of Image:Pizzitola-Front.JPG. So why Wikipedia should host three identical images when it really needs only one? The two lower resolution copies got nominated for deletion, leaving the third and the best copy alone. There is nothing in here, just basic housekeeping. Hope you understand now. YellowDot 23:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Massachusetts towns

Great work on standardizing articles for towns in Massachusetts! Would you be willing to post your strategy on the WikiProject so others can follow your lead? — jmorgan (talk) 03:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I would create a subpage that shows the layout/format/order/etc. of a perfect MA town article, with all town-specific content removed. Then I'd link to it from the main page. You might also want to solicit discussion on the main talk page. Of course, do whatever you feel is best! — jmorgan (talk) 19:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To whom it may concern - I am a third party interested in resolving a dispute concerning the Fark.com page. Apparently, User:Derek.cashman has been removing sections of the page on the grounds that they are not verifiable. However, his qualifications have since been called into doubt, as he has only held an account for six months, and does not have the full TotalFark account. To me, and to those at Fark, this is unacceptable. He is not qualified in the least to be editing this page, and we would like him to be kept from doing the editing again.

I attempted to use the resolve mediation page, but it kept bringing me to the page to edit Fark.com instead. Please help me figure out how to fix all of this before someone gets themselves in trouble.... TC

It may be helpful to request help from an AMA advocate. You can at WP:AMARQ. -Royalguard11(Talk·Review Me!) 02:17, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

your Provincetown Pilgrim pic

Hi Todd, I cropped and brightened your pic from the P'town gallery to make Image:Provincetown memorial to Lost Pilgrims.JPG, which I added to a couple pages about the Pilgrims. I left the original pic in place. Please let me know if you have a problem with this. I can remove it if need be. Thanks, Peter 03:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello from Taunton!

Hi, my name is Marc. I am also from Fall River, now I live in Taunton. I have an interest in local history and photography, among other things. You say that you've photographed nearly all of the cities and towns in Massachusetts? That's cool. I have biked through almost all of them except for Nantucket and Gosnold. I didn't take photos though. I recently joined wikipedia to add some photos, and have been adding them as I see fit, here and there. It makes the articles so much more interesting.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:52, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bobby Dodd Stadium

I noted with some interest that the field that was the site for the famous 222-0 game in 1916, is the same Grant Field they play on today. Since you added the history, I'm supposing that you're familiar with the place. My question is, what was the orientation of the field in 1916? Or perhaps more to the point, what direction is the upslope which is visible in the early photos? Is that Techwood Drive, or North Avenue, or maybe a different side of the block? The current field still seems to be within a sloped terrain, but I can't tell for sure. Thank you! ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 01:34, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind, I figured it out. My supposition was correct - it's Techwood. However, the "1912" photo has to be more like sometime in the 1920s.

Non-free rationale for File:Mattapoisett Sea Horse.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Mattapoisett Sea Horse.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

We noticed though that when you edited List of oldest living Major League Baseball players, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Boston Braves. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Baker Bowl

This edit of yours,[1] while possibly true from a certain viewpoint, is also a bit slippery. The problem is the term "venue". It means a "place". For example, although portions of the steel-and-concrete version of Sportsman's Park date to 1909, baseball had been played there for several decades prior. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 03:45, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Caption Correction: The "Whately Milk Bottle" in front of the old Whately Central School

ToddC4176, Having lived in Whately from Grade 5 until after college, I love your photo of the Whately Milk Bottle in its "new" location in front of the old school. I did want to note that the name of the school is the "Whately Center School," not the "Whately Central School." I never went to Center School, because that was only for Grades 1 & 2 when I lived there - I went to the East Whately School, which handled Grades 3-6. The schools were named after their locations, hence "Whately Center School" in the Whately Center section. In those ancient days of the early 1970s, the milk bottle was located on State Routes 5 & 10, on the grounds of the Lamplighter Restaurant, which burned down many years ago now. Thanks again for posting a great photo!

Disambiguation link notification for January 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Providence Friars, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dalmatian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Non-free rationale for File:Hail To The Sunrise Statue.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Hail To The Sunrise Statue.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Hail To The Sunrise Statue.JPG

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Hail To The Sunrise Statue.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:40, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
