Welcome to wikipedia!


Olive

May I query what your concerns at Olive are? - there's 15 paragraphs, none of them conspicuously the 'main paragraph'. I agree there's a lot that needs editing, but it would help if you could put down the main problems on the Talk:Olive page. Or go ahead, be bold, and edit it yourself!

Vandalism

Thanks for reverting banned User:Gibraltarian's vandalism. I guess he finds a meaning to his life doing that. Regards, E Asterion u talking to me? 00:07, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome... He was banned a long time ago, wasn't he? --Jhortman 02:05, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes but unfortunately he never actually stopped... See Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee for the latest news. Regards, E Asterion u talking to me? 02:55, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
By the way, I just finished reading the 9/11 entry in your blog. My experience so far restricted itself to read about it in the mainstream media. I am profoundly moved by your account of the story. Best wishes, E Asterion u talking to me? 03:11, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
Wow, some folks just don't know when to give up, I guess. Thank you for your kind comments about my 9/11 page. --Jhortman 03:20, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Career abuse

Hey -- I changed your speedy into a prod here. Just so you understand, violating WP:CORP, WP:MUSIC, WP:BIO, et cetera, do not constitute criteria for speedy deletion. Deletion, yes, speedy, no. Advertising/spam is also not a speedy deletion criteria. Check out WP:CSD for the list of criteria; it helps if you can point to the specific criterion you think applies when using speedy tags. Thanks! Mangojuicetalk 03:35, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

My mistake, thanks for setting me straight--Jhortman 03:49, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

prod for Kiddy Grade characters

I'm curious as to why you {{prod}}'ed only some of the Kiddy Grade characters for Fancruft and not others. I'm not a Kiddy Grade fan or anything... just going through the AFD category, and I noticed those. --Jhortman 16:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I prodded all those I could find. If I find more, I will prod them too. Stifle (talk) 21:58, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Georgia congressional district maps

The ones you removed are still the current district maps - the new maps go into effect at the start of the next Congress in January. Qqqqqq 23:19, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. The districts became official as soon as they were passed by the Georgia State Legislature and were signed by the Governor. The first elections to be affected by this new redistricting process were the elections in the 2006 cycle, which started with the party primaries on June 19. The only significance of January is that the officials elected under the new districting system take office in January. The districts themselves, however, were "official" long before that. --Jhortman 02:24, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, the current members of the House from Georgia are representing those old districts through next week. In any event, how about if we up the new district maps now? I'm not sure they're out yet, other than those poor-quality ones produced for information purposes by the General Assembly. I suppose the National Atlas will be putting them out soon. Qqqqqq 03:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Exactly... they're representing the old districts. You're right, though... in a week, it won't matter. There are actually some pretty good-quality current maps in a PDF file at http://www.cviog.uga.edu/Projects/gainfo/gacdmap.htm. Unfortunately, that site is owned by UGA, and is protected by copyright. I agree with you that National Atlas will probably have the new maps up before too long... it might be easiest to wait until they post the maps. (Though it would be pretty cool to make your own district maps... very time-consuming, though.) --Jhortman 03:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
It would probably be too difficult to use those UGA-produced maps, but they're better than nothing. Although I wonder now whether it might not be valuable to have historical maps of these districts -- perhaps including the old maps with a caption indicating that these were the maps used in the 2002 and 2004 elections, and then later we can add the new maps, noting that they will be used in the 2006, 2008, and 2010 elections? For the sake of completeness, that seems like it would be a viable solution. And on another note, what do you think about making a page with a statewide map (again, perhaps after the new maps are entered into National Atlas)? That big red link at the bottom of each district's page cries for some backup. Qqqqqq 03:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
It's funny you should mention that... that's what I requested they do with the files over at Wikimedia Commons, where the files are hosted (that is, I requested they changed the name of the file to "blah blah district, 2002-2005"). I think a statewide map is a great idea, but I'm not sure I'd want to create it. I'm a much better editor than creator.  :-) --Jhortman 03:48, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Sounds good. When (if) they rename those files, I'll stick them back on the district pages, then, with proper notation as to the current circumstances. I'll notify you know when I do that. And I'll a shot at a page for all of the state's districts as well. Nice talking with you. :) Qqqqqq 03:54, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Georgia congressional district maps

Thanks for noticing my contributions. Hopefully I've helped clear up confusion about the new districts at least a bit. You might never guess by looking at my user page, but I'm actually a Georgia resident. As far as the above discussion goes (although I guess it's mostly moot by now), I'd agree with your first response, and argue that the new districts were effective as soon as they were legislated. The reason being that while the then still-in-session 109th Congress was elected by constituents of the old districts, it would be the constituents of the new districts who would determine in the next regularly scheduled election whether or not each representative would return for the 110th. Thus, voters grouped together by the new boundaries were already effectively "represented" by those they did not necessarily elect. On the other hand, it doesn't hurt to make a distinction like "adopted 2005, effected 2006" or somesuch. BTW, I hope you don't mind if I grab the maps linked above to add as secondary sources to Georgia Congressional Districts. Cheers! -Tobogganoggin talk 00:04, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

My warnings to you were not spam. It is against Wikipedia's policy to canvas other Wikipedians, as you did to me, and it is also considered bad practice to remove legitimate content on your talk page, especially when you have blanked a warning given to you.

Non-free use disputed for Image:US_Soccer_logo.gif

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:US_Soccer_logo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BigrTex 16:05, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

All fair use images are required to have a fair use rationale to state why they meet our criteria for inclusion. You are right, there are a lot of national football team logos that do not have the required rationale. Thank you for bringing them to my attention. I was able to find three that have rationales:
I hope that these help. Also, please read through the fair use rationale guideline for more assistance. ~ BigrTex 18:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I would be more specific about the purpose, clarifying that it is not being used decoratively - so that it meets criteria #8. Thank you for addressing the issue. ~ BigrTex 18:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I would also recommend that you specify for which articles you are writing the fair use rationale. This logo wouldn't meet the fair use criteria everywhere (i.e., player pages, tournament pages, etc), so it's best to be specific. ~ BigrTex 19:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:US Soccer logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:US Soccer logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Medifast_logo.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Medifast_logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 02:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Medifast_logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Medifast_logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rockfang (talk) 02:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Us-store-logo-neg.gif. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Your contributed article, Template:United States squad 2010 FIFA World Cup

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Template:United States squad 2010 FIFA World Cup. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - [[:]]. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at [[:]] - you might like to discuss new information at [[Talk:|the article's talk page]].

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Ytfc23 (talk) 17:53, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Florida–Georgia

Jhortman, there are now fourteen "notable" games listed in the article. I don't know if we have the right fourteen games listed, but I guess it's a representative sample. Since UGA still holds the series lead, it would be appropriate if we added one more UGA win to the list. Currently, we are heavy on games from 1970 on. Is there another pre-1970 game that Dawg fans consider especially significant? Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 02:54, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Good question. Recentism has certainly been evident in the past, though it's gotten somewhat better now. My vote for the most significant pre-1970 game on the list is the 1964 contest. It was Vince Dooley's first season at the helm and it broke a 13-year streak during which Georgia had gone 2-11. The 7 games from '64-'70 were split 3-3-1, but it led to the Georgia-dominated era of the '70's and 80's. If you agree, I'll add that '64 game to the notable list.
There are other games that might be candidates... the '27 game or the '46 games took place during seasons after which Georgia was named national champions in minor polls, but they are not really notable for reasons other than that. To be perfectly honest, before Florida's winning streak in the 1950's and '60's, not many games were considered "notable" by Georgia fans because they generally always won. Even the '42 game was really only notable because of the margin of victory (which took on greater importance later in history, not at the time of the game). -Jhortman (talk) 03:26, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
The 1964 game looks like a good candidate. Nominal upset of the Gators, Dooley's first game in the series, two evenly matched coaches and teams, Dawg's reversal of previous streak, and you've even got the baby-faced version of the Evil Genius. I think it would make a good addition to the list.
I've had my own issues with the way the notable games list was previously weighted to the 1990s and 2000s, largely, I suspect, because those are games within living memory of younger fans. An older UF-oriented editor recently said on the talk page that there weren't many references available for the pre-1980 games, to which I responded, "Huh?" The 1928 and 1949 Gator wins were very big deals to Florida fans, and the 10–2 streak in the 1950s and early 1960s was among the highlights of the Woodruff and Graves eras. The Dawgs' "upsets" of the Gators in 1975 and 1976 kept those Doug Dickey teams from winning a share of the SEC title both years. Fans always seem to think college football history started their freshman year in college. LOL
BTW, I'm working on footnoting all of the notable games with linked articles from Google News Archive. I also have about a dozen books about Gators football that use to fill gaps. If you have hard-copy books about Dawgs football, we should really include them in the Bibliography section. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 04:02, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

This picture is 5 years old... and is just being flagged now? After going back and reviewing the picture, I agree with its speedy deletion due to copyright issues, but 5 years on? -Jhortman (talk) 14:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
On second thought, I have added a non-free use rationale, as there appear to be no free-use images available of the old Braves mascot. -Jhortman (talk) 14:53, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Nocahoma1.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Nocahoma1.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.
