Hey, great job on the Chiropractic article! I just wanted to say:

Welcome!

Hello, Pinotgris, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Art header

[edit]

Respectfully, I disagree. I realize that the empty Art section in High Middle Ages sticks out like a sore thumb, and that was exactly my intention in reinserting it. I hope that the presence of an empty section on such a critical aspect of the period will jar some knowledgeable editor into writing something good in the section. I have been looking for sources on the art of the High Middle Ages over the past few days, but I am relatively ignorant of art history, and the websites I've found haven't really enabled me to get the grasp on the bigger picture that is needed here. I'll keep looking, but I am confident that someone who knows more about this than I do will come along in the next few days and do what I cannot. NatusRoma 01:04, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Nice, the more the merrier :-) Not too many articles about actual retailing positions exist; however there is an article on cashier. History of store management might be an interesting read, since it has changed quite a bit in the 20th century (especially in the 1990s). Finding appropriate citations will also lead to more interesting content to add. Tuxide 03:37, 25 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good job

Nice article on Flamingo. I was going to put it up for DYK and see that you already did (almost word-for-word with what I had plucked from your article, by the way!) -- DS1953 talk 14:15, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calder Flamingo pictures

[edit]

Unfortunately, the photos of the Flamingo (sculpture) you took cannot be licensed solely as GFDL. Under U.S. copyright law, statues and other 3-D works of art are copyrighted and photos of them are considered derivative works. I've marked them with the {{statue}} tag and you should go and add a fair use rationale to the image description pages. Regards, howcheng {chat} 06:42, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Flamingo (sculpture)

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 9 May, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Flamingo (sculpture), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

I like your Flamingo piece. I just created the category Category:Outdoor sculptures in Chicago to put our outdoor art in. Then I started looking up things at [1].

Starbucks cup sizes

[edit]

The reason I moved it was because it was after the number rather than the whole measurement and it didn't look right. I have no argument with the reference itself, I just altered the position slightly.--Jcvamp 00:26, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation to Meetup/Seattle6, a focus group

[edit]

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) 00:32, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jonatha Brooke photo being deleted

[edit]

Since this is one of your highlighted projects, and we briefly communicated about it a couple of years ago, I thought I'd give you a heads-up.

My photo of Jonatha Brooke has been nominated for speedy deletion because I apparently did not select the "correct copyright license". My photo of Jennifer Kimball was deleted for the same reason before I found out about it, and the only alternative offered was to upload again and choose the correct one. I honestly have no idea what the "correct" license was, and I suspect that those copyvio cops who go around deleting files for reasons like this were in a previous lifetime one of those bureaucratic clerks who insisted all forms be filled out in triplicate. I've declined to jump through the hoops, because it seems that what they want is that the file be freely available to everyone for non-commercial and commercial purposes. I've had images stolen and misused for commercial purposes, so I'm not sure I'd agree to Wikipedia's demands anyway.

In any case, all I wanted to notify you of is that the "to-do" list must be amended again, as there will be no photo very soon. If you haven't already, download it yourself for your own personal use.

Sorry to bother.-- Couillaud (talk) 21:12, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation

[edit]

Your upload of File:Bethsmall.JPG or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

[edit]

You are invited! An Art+Feminism Wikipedia edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Wikipedia is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Wikipedia and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Wikipedia editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Wikipedia.
