Hi, I didn't have time to figure out Orkut so I'm dropping a line here ... thanks for your comments on the revised Japanese lit page! I felt bad making so many changes by myself, but hopefully it gets interest in the page going again. It would be great if themes were added and the individual history sections are fleshed out. I did my best to avoid just making a list of who wrote what and when, but I also wanted to mention the major works and authors of the times. It would be nice if we could add more historical data as well as characteristics of literature written during the different eras. Please add and edit as you see fit and let's keep building on the article! When I have time again I will add more too. CES 00:21, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

FYI, I've protected Unit 731 and moved the disputed text/photo to the talk page. Feel free to discuss there. Thanks. Fuzheado | Talk 02:07, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Well I sometimes go to the Fiddler in Takadanobaba and very very very often can be found at Ben's cafe after work and on weekends. Post a message on my talk page if you want to meet later this week. Cheers Vincent 04:31, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hi. You uploaded Image:Teton moran.jpg but did not list any copyright information on the image description page. Please mark it either as GFDL or public domain. See Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags for more info. Thanks. RedWolf 04:59, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)

I commend you for your good work on the superpower article with [1]! On a different topic, I did want to point out to you that it's considered bad form on Wikipedia to blank out some comments on your Talk page, as it might be seen as hiding past interactions with other users. On the other hand, archiving the Talk, with a link to the archive on the Talk page, is fine, and indeed, what many users do when their Talk pages start getting long. --Lowellian 08:09, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)

On Wikipedia:Requests for comment, a common accusation against problem users is that they blank their user talk page to hide criticisms and conflicts with other users. (I am not implying that you are a "problem user"; I am just explaining the basis for my above comment.) You are correct that the user page itself is generally considered the inviolate domain of the user; the talk page, however, is more of a shared space, in the sense that other users will use it to make comments. Also, I quote from Wikipedia:User page: "Please avoid deleting discussion merely because it is critical of your actions - doing so will only make people repeat the same criticism, and will make you seem like you are ignoring criticism." --Lowellian 17:11, Sep 26, 2004 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Newspaper rock.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?

Thanks for taking care of those weird POV statements...I was afraid to take care of it, since I've gotten chewed out for removing things, so I wrote something about it on the Talk:Salt Lake City, Utah page. Once I was finished, they were gone...LOL

For the kigo article, there is currently a nice closeup of some cherry blossoms. Personally, I think that it would be better to have a nice picture of one or two cherry trees in full bloom to better illustrate what the Japanese are referring to when they mention cherry blossoms in their haiku. If you have any that you would let the Wikipedia use, that would be greatly appreciated. [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 12:45, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

'Scuse me for butting in, but how about this? (Released by the National Parks Service, and in the Public Domain according to this page, as I read it, so you could crop the people out of the photo if you wanted.) – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 14:55, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

That photo is like what I was looking for (and I don't think that the people are a problem). Unfortunately it was not done by an NPS photographer, but was created by Stephen Bear of The New York Botanical Garden and entered into an NPS photo contest (where it looks like not rights were transfered), so the NPS notice you pointed out does not apply (see the mention of "non-NPS material").

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Hi. You uploaded Image:SS-230 Finback.jpg but did not list any source and/or copyright information on the image description page. Please mark it either as GFDL or public domain. See Image copyright tags for more info. If the image was uploaded in error or cannot be licensed for use on Wikipedia, please add it to images for deletion. Please note that images without copyright information may be deleted in the future. Thanks. RedWolf 07:27, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC)

Hello Davejenk1ns

Here's an invitation to visit WP:JCOTW, Japan-related collaboration of the week. Your vote, nomination and comments are welcome. Hope to see you there! --Aphaea* 04:53, 7 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Lakepowell2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --SCEhardT 22:57, 9 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

In regards to this edit:

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. BigNate37_(T) 06:09, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Nate, I thought my comment was directed at the content, and not the contributor. Hence the use of 'your own damned page', not 'your damned self'. huh. I guess things are getting pretty dicey around wikipedia. No wonder many of us long-time contributors are dropping away. Davejenk1ns

Please don't threaten me with leaving the project, it sets a bad tone and it's not something that is going to get you special treatment. You know what part of your comment was unnecessary, and it should go without saying that "your own damned page" is inappropriate, especially in an edit summary. As far as Moosejaw.com, their use or abuse of Wikipedia does not justify rudeness, personal attacks, or any other inappropriate behaviour towards them. If you're unfamiliar with how to deal with external link spamming, or any other matter, I'll be happy to help how I can. BigNate37_(T) 22:56, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Santaclaravolcano.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. —Angr 18:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Dave,

This guy, Dædαlus, is in there trying to remove parts that you, I and many others contributed to the Repo Man article. Please add to the bottom of this thread on the Repo Man talk page that you think the "Notable Motifs" section should not be blanked (erased), but left as is since the Pulp Fiction article also has a "Notable Motifs" section that isn't being considered for removal at all (even by Dædαlus himself).

While I agree that the "Notable Motifs" section could use some work, it certainly won't help the article to delete the whole thing and erase all our work which consists of many multiple contributers over a course of years. I'm willing to work on it and better incorporate it into the article, he just wants to delete it all!

With consensus, we can stop this guy from deleting all our work soon!

Thanks in advance. Cowicide (talk) 01:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

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!

Thanks for uploading File:Living Direct Logo.gif. 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).

	US Banknote Contest
	November-December 2019
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Hello Davejenk1ns. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Davejenk1ns. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Davejenk1ns|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. MrOllie (talk) 03:11, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

I can assure you that I am receiving no compensation to post these edits to Wikipedia. I am not a black hat nor a paid advocate. If you would look at my history, I have been editing the Wikipedia since its first years of creation. I would equally ask you if you are being paid to revert my edits. In reality, I don't think you're being paid, but I have no proof that you are not (just as equally you have zero proof that am being paid, you only have your somewhat overzealous (IMHO) self-guided opinion. I have been working in software for 30 years now, most recently in low-code and no-code platforms. I would respectfully request that you stop reverting my edits purely on your own unproven assumptions, MrOllie. Davejenk1ns (talk) 03:52, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Feel free to take this to WP:COIN for more input, but WP:PAID unambiguously applies to you. You are in violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. MrOllie (talk) 04:15, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

An article you recently created, Jon Nordmark, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three, to be safe. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG.(?) 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.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:24, 10 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Wikieditor019 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 (see the guidelines on the notability of people). 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:Jon Nordmark and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
