Orphaned non-free image (Image:ProgressiveLibrarian.jpg) Thanks for uploading Image:ProgressiveLibrarian.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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). 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

Your submission at Articles for creation The article has been assessed as Stub-Class, which is recorded on the article's talk page. You may like to take a look at the grading scheme to see how you can improve the article. You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia! Nimuaq (talk) 19:02, 6 April 2013 (UTC)July 2013 Your recent editing history at Grumman J2F Duck shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. - BilCat (talk) 00:03, 16 July 2013 (UTC) July 2013

Regards, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 18:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC) The Reason Why I Reverted At QilinI reverted it because a one-line mention of a walking stick just sounds unimportant. For starters, is a "kylin" the same thing as a qilin? If so, then why is it spelled differently? Does the walking-stick have a profound, qilin-related impact on the plot? Does this "kylin-headed" walking stick have notability outside of the book? That, and "In Popular Culture" sections should not be a laundry list of every appearance the subject has made. If you think it's notable, then the onus is on you to explain and cite why it is notable.--Mr Fink (talk) 21:10, 28 April 2015 (UTC) kmccook responds: Yes, it is a variant spelling and as I noted when I reverted this it is mentioned multiple times in the book--The Last Dickens that uses the kylin throughout and in the final sequences, but if the onus is on me (bold letters, you sound very stern) I can't do much more to convince you. It is not worth an edit war. Kmccook (talk) 22:45, 28 April 2015 (UTC) Better with a ManThis is the kind of bully behavior that happens at WP, too.

When you create a new category, it's really important that you categorise it to put it within the category hierarchy so that humans and maintenance bots can find it. Browsing the existing hierarchy or using WP:HOTCAT are both good ways to find suitable parent categories. In doing so you may find categories that duplicate the new one - for instance I'd suggest that Category:Authors' libraries is close enough to Category:Literary archives for separate categories to be WP:Overcategorization.

The majority of editors are men. Initially the Weinstein harassment posts were moved to their own page that was then slated for deletion and required a discussion to retain This certainly was not all male all editors, but the fact that the article had a deletion discussion startd with this statement: "Like everything else controversial in the news, this incident blew up overnight and will likely die down soon. If it continues garnering significant and important coverage beyond the original story, like California's or New York's statute of limitations for rape allows for charges against Weinstein, if there's a trial, an uncovered sex ring, crimes were committed, and so on, then I would say this article is appropriate. This story really has no impact right now other than Hollywood and politicians covering their behinds," was almost an instantaneous Wikipedia modeling of victim blaming.

I removed it for it would be better to build consensus on talk page for contentious additions. Still, I think it is a interesting and worthy topic to expand on. The Slavery and Justice report subsection under History tab on Brown uni page currently has expand section tag and can definitely use help. Let me know if I can assist. Thanks.

Organized labour projectThank you for earlier joining the Organized Labour project. I've been a participant in the project since 2006 and am helping with a revival of it. As part this we are introducing a new membership system, which will help with communications among participants. This involves creating a membership file for each participant within your user space (you can see an example of my membership card here: User:Goldsztajn/WikiProjectCards/WikiProject Organized Labour). This system is already in operation within a number of wikiprojects (such as Women in Red and Medicine). You will not have to do anything, myself or someone else from the project will create the relevant file within your userspace. However, I am conscious that it is not polite to change an editor's userspace without notice. If I don't hear from you in the negative, I will go ahead with making the change after the 18th of January. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Many thanks for supporting the project, in solidarity, --Goldsztajn (talk) 00:03, 12 January 2021 (UTC) Books & Bytes - Issue 42

Snooganssnoogans (talk) 17:19, 6 March 2021 (UTC) Thank you for trying to get the facts about the Florida coronavirus pandemic management on to this Wikipedia pageI am a 40 year public health professional in Gainesville with 20 years of experience in coronavirus management, starting with SARS in 2003, MERS in 2015, and now COVID-19. Among other credentials, I invented and brought through regulatory approval two coronavirus diagnostics, today used in developing countries as well as Europe and the US. We are trying to ensure that Snooganssnoogans, Vizzinifezzikwomanchuck, and other individuals do not successfully transform Wikipedia from a reliable source of information into a partisan attack sheet. Unfortunately, I have a job, and have not yet learned the rules of managing people like Snooganssnoogans and Vizzinifezzikwomanchuck. WSJ "opinion" pieces are more reliable than Washington Post "news" pieces". And people die because of the misinformation that Snooganssnoogans and Vizzinifezzikwomanchuck post here. Accordingly, I have contacted Wikipedia directly about Snooganssnoogans amd Vizzinifezzikwomanchuck and, since I am a large donor to Wikipedia, I actually got a reply. So that you know, here are the facts from the perspective of a public health professional, with references. As the pandemic unfolded in 2020, public health scientists worldwide engaged in a discussion about the value of different public health measures to manage the pandemic. In these properties, CoVID-19 differed dramatically from other coronaviruses, notable SARS 2003 and MERS. This discussion included the effectiveness of lockdowns in improving public health outcomes. Several states, including California, Michigan, and New York, and many international jurisdictions, notably the United Kingdom, undertook large scale lockdowns. Acting on that science, after a brief "stay at home order" in early spring, Governor DeSantis chose for Florida a pandemic response similar to that of Sweden. Elderly living facilities were protected, with DeSantis choosing to minimize lockdowns. As the pandemic progressed, DeSantis continued to adjust his policy as science and data showed that lockdowns created other problems in public health, including mental health. Further, peer reviewed literature established that lockdowns had substantial economic cost. A year into the pandemic, the Florida strategy had proven successful by many metrics, especially in comparison with states that chose severe lockdowns. Florida never became a "global epicenter of the coronavirus", as some had predicted. Instead, the total number of cases per 100,000 in Florida was 8734, compared to California (8805) and New York (8337). The total number of deaths per 100,000 in Florida was 144, compared to California (132), New York (163), and the US as a whole (154). If the data are adjusted for population age, Florida's outcome is especially significant, as Florida ranks second in the US in its proportion of elderly. These data informed public debate, not only for the COVID-19 pandemic but for future pandemics. In particular, they suggested that lockdowns did not have material impact on public health outcomes, while they created collateral medical and economic damage. Thus, by the end of the year, Florida has performed economically better than the lockdown jurisdictions by many metrics. For example, as of December 2020, Florida's unemployment rate was 6.1%, compared to the national 6.7% rate.
gaps" with Democrats generally favoring extreme lockdowns. Many of the politically motivated comments assumed that extreme lockdowns were the only "correct" response to the pandemic, with Brookings remarking "even though they reflected as unfortunate reactions based on distrust of the President, rather than proposals grounded in evidence". Brookings Institute noted that "[w]hatever the public health merits, we find that lockdown policies and business closures do real damage to the economy that goes beyond the actual effects predicted by infections or deaths at the county level." Brookings reported that as of September, unemployment in Republican states was 6.7%, while unemployment in Democrat states was 11.3%. Image tagging for File:John N.

Sent by MediaWiki message delivery on behalf of The Wikipedia Library team --11:11, 10 May 2021 (UTC) == Edit warring about inclusion of fact that Ian Fleming was founder of the journal, The Book Collector, in Ian Fleming article This wasn't really a war--it was my attempt to add a fact to the article on Ian Fleming that a more experienced editor didn't want there. I lost. The fact was that Ian Fleming founded a journal, The Book Collector. This information is not wanted on that page. Maybe because it is "The Agent’s Secret"--the title of an article in the Times Literary Supplement. Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. ~ HAL333 16:29, 18 July 2021 (UTC) OK, I will not work any more to add the information that Ian Fleming was a founder of The Book Collector, but I do have a citation [1] and have now been alerted by this EDIT WAR message that I should not add to the article because..I do not know why except the Ian Fleming page at Wikipedia must be a man's world where women Wikipedia editors will be schooled. I wish Wikipedia would post an alert to women editors that some topics are off limits to wom"--as explen.Kmccook (talk) 16:59, 18 July 2021 (UTC) I see the citation I added to the Ian Fleming page from the Times Literary Supplement no. 5946 (2017): 36[2] has been deleted.
