Wikipedia:WikiProject South Dakota

Sorry for the delay in welcoming you to the project, but welcome aboard! As you can see from the project page, right now almost all of the articles in the scope of the project need a lot of work. Also, I am certain there are a number of other articles which should still be created. As you may have noticed from the project page, this project is engaged in assessments. One of the things we can assess for is the importance of a given article to the project. Then, the various members can work together to help improve the articles which are, as it were, most deserving of our immediate time. If you would like to take part in the selection of such articles, please voice your opinions on already nominated articles, or suggest a few that you believe inclusion on the list, at the Wikipedia:WikiProject South Dakota/Assessment/Top-importance articles page. And, if I can be of any help, please feel free to contact me directly. Thanks again, and welcome to the project. Badbilltucker 17:39, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, peer review, and project-wide collaboration.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• Our requests page has extensive lists of requested articles, images, maps, and translations.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 23:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

America's Army User Box

I did indeed create it, but the image was not a fair use image. If we can find a fair use image, then it can be replaced.

WikiProject MMO Newsletter - April 2007

WikiProject MMO Quarterly
April 2007		Issue I

About Us WikiProject MMO Quarterly is a quarterly newsletter posted on the first of January, April, July, and October. The newsletter is written by any and all interested members of WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games for members of the project and interested Wikipedians outside of the project. Questions, comments, and concerns For general questions, comments, and concerns, leave a message on our talk page here. For questions, comments, and concerns about our newsletter, leave a message on the talk page for the newsletter section of our Outreach Department here. New good articles and featured articles Good articles and featured articles are a great way to see what major acomplishments we have made over the last quarter. Good articles Final Fantasy XI Massively multiplayer online role-playing game RuneScape World of Warcraft Featured articles None this quarter! Role call We ask that within a month, all members sign our role call to show that they are still active participants in the project. More information is available on the role call page.

Major news WikiProject RuneScape, our former child project, was moved to become a task force of this project in January as it had a small scope but the task force is still going strong to this very day. This past quarter marks the beginning of our new collaboration system MMOGCM. Past collaborations thus far have been World of Warcraft and MMORPG, both of which made it to GA status while it was the MMOGCM. As well, we now have an Outreach Department which works on this newsletter as well as spreads the word of our project. WikiProject MMO is also now a participant in the Work via WikiProjects division of Wikipedia 1.0 and as such, we will be helping decide which are the best (based on quality and importance) articles within our scope. Project members can discuss which articles are to be included here. News from the RuneScape Task Force We are currently trying to improve this task force so that we can edit all RuneScape-related articles in an organized manner. To do that we started a massive overhaul which we invite all task force members to participate in. We have also gotten our main article, RuneScape to good article status this quarter. All this, and the task force was only created in January. Signed... Greeves, Ed On behalf of WikiProject Massively multiplayer online games.

To change your personal newsletter distribution preferences, please see the newsletter page from the Outreach Department.

Habbo Retro

I don't get your explanation and the site won't let me view it without registration.

Is it some offsite clone of Habbo Hotel where everything is free? Is it someone with an account full of furni that lets people use their's? What? SakotGrimshine 23:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:AmericasArmy.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AmericasArmy.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Hidden page

Is this your hidden page or this? Wooyi^{Talk to me?} 03:17, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Slightly less friendly reminder

Remember, as I said in the thread you deleted a few days ag, this is an encyclopedia. Please contribute to it. Since my comment to you a few days ago, you've done nothing but focus on user page discussions in birthday and edit day notes. So, it's time to shape up. Metros 02:39, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Brothers in arms series

A tag has been placed on Brothers in arms series, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
