You have added a broken template: {{Anonymous-EU}}. Perhaps it is just misspelled? -- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  04:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

just a confusion between Commons and english wikipedia templates. The template is valid on commons. I removed it from this image. By the way how does one initiate a transfer of an image to commons? --Jarekt 14:17, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Copy the image, use appropriate Commons templates, and slap {{NowCommons}} here. PS. Please leave replies at my talk; I don't usually look elsewhere for replies.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Attenuation Coefficient page

Hi, yes it just didn't make sense to have two separate pages for what are essentially the same quantities. The images look fine, it's differcult to get them to look right as it depends on the individual users resolution etc. Thanks for your contributions Jdrewitt 08:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Kuban Cossacks

Thank you for adding a picture to the article. I was wondering, if you have more information about Kuban Cossack's role in the Warsaw uprising. If so, could you point it out or maybe add it to the article? Thank you. --Hillock65 23:57, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I will look into it and keep you posted. --Jarekt 01:52, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

November 2009

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When you make a change to an article, please provide an edit summary, which you forgot to do before saving your recent edit to Republic of China. Doing so helps everyone to understand the intention of your edit and is especially useful when reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. I get why you removed the hatnote by looking at your contributions, but an edit summary would have been useful anyway. Laurent (talk) 21:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Annotate

Thanks for filling in the proposal. I think you should also see the current discussion here. Lupo has decided to implement it on enwiki when he gets time, in a kinda restricted way. Users will only be able to see annotations if the explicitly specify it (just so that we can try it out and see how it goes) ManishEarth^{Talk • Stalk} 06:15, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Christ Church, Cambridge, File:Interior from Balcony.jpg

This photo, posted by me, a CCC parishioner, has been used on promotional post cards and on the old CCC website (can be found in Internet Archive http://web.archive.org/web/20000308105401/http://www.cccambridge.org/). I do not know the original photographer, but the image has been used as public domain for years and years. In any case it's been removed from Wiki Commons and there is a new, good one in the CCC article. Cgmusselman (talk) 18:40, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Fred-Beckey - Patagonia poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Fred-Beckey - Patagonia poster.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 04:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:28, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: 68px ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H.

We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Thanks, and a note

Thanks for making some links and uploading the pictures of Treasury photos. I also found another article and made a link there as well. I also digged through NARA online catalog a bit, and I found it very limiting in information, almost completely lacking in fact. I understand that NARA would want Wikipedians to collaborate with it in recording various information, and I guess my list could serve as one such starting point. I don't know how to go about it though. We will see how it goes. By the way, it was fun finding stuff (smile) TheBlueWizard (talk) 03:27, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

I think we should compare your list of people NARA have photographs of to the wikipedia articles and see if any of those guys have articles in need of image. I assume we might be back there again at some point. I am quite interested in finding original images from Warsaw uprising that suppose to reside in NARA at College Park archive (although I might have to wait few years before they are old enough to qualify as commons:Anonymous-EU). I think our little excursion was a good learning experience of how such scanning can be done. As for info in NARA online catalog - I am not surprised. The volume of material is so great that it is hard to imagine how much time it would take to catalog it all. I run into single entry where volume was listed as 26 linear feet. --Jarekt (talk) 13:42, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

HELP

Hey Jarekt Thelmadatter told me you needed help with some images, I can help if you want .

--ItzelP (talk) 11:53, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your offer, I am not positive what was Thelmadatter referring to but I suspect it was about image upload of images from commons:Category:Perm State Art Gallery, that a new Russian new user, who is in contact with the Gallery was planning. There is not much happening at the moment, and I think I have things covered on the Commons. If you are willing to help may be you can start a stub article about the gallery. here are some links: [www.gallery.permonline.ru], [9], [10], [11] and ru:Пермская государственная художественная галерея. --Jarekt (talk) 12:28, 20 October 2011 (UTC)
