Talk to Me Post a new message Enter the archives Template:TOCleft My logfiles: • uploads • An exciting opportunity to improve yourself! File:Trophy.png As a member of the Aviation WikiProject or one of its subprojects, you may be interested in testing your skills in the Aviation Contest! I created this contest, not to pit editor against editor, but to promote article improvement and project participation and camraderie. Hopefully you will agree with its usefulness. Sign up here, read up on the rules here, and discuss the contest here. The first round of the contest may not start until September 1st-unless a large number of editors signup and are ready to compete immediately! Since this contest is just beginning, please give feedback here, or let me know what you think on my talkpage. - Trevor MacInnis contribs 05:46, 21 August 2009 (UTC) STS 129 Tweetup Great ! (adding again the information). A short while ago, I also informed the user who removed about the tweetup to re add. Its important for the article, in my view. 152.226.7.201 (talk) 09:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC) Thank you. I actually had the privilege and honor of being one of the 100 and I can tell you that it was a very significant tweetup, arguably NASA's most high profile, most ambitious and most successful (in public outreach to people both on and off-Twitter) yet. It was even mentioned during one of the Mission Status Briefings, but I need to find that before I can add it into the article with the proper citation. Thanks again. (I'm @Ageekmom on Twitter) - Ageekgal (talk) 09:15, 21 November 2009 (UTC) It seems an unbelievably trivial piece of information to me, but I won't argue to keep it out! Please incorporate this sort of material into the article, though - it's giving it undue weight to leave it in the lead. Shimgray | talk | 09:29, 21 November 2009 (UTC) The first ever event of its kind, offering unprecedented access by the public to their space program, is trivial? Interesting. I find the exact opposite. As noted, however, I am working the flesh it out further, and that includes its placement in the article. Review the STS-125 article where Astronaut Mike Massimino's first "tweet from space" (which didn't even originate from space, per se, because he transmitted it down via email to someone at Mission Control who then typed it in to the web interface of Twitter.com) receives its own section (oddly, under Mission Payload, but that's another fish to fry. - Ageekgal (talk) 10:22, 21 November 2009 (UTC) I think we can agree to disagree on its importance ;-) Section inclusion is tough. As you note it's a bit weird to have it under payload; if it's an event fixed in time, perhaps incorporate it into launch or the Day 1 activities? In the STS-125 case, we could move it to FD1; the more appropriate place would probably be under the crew section, since it relates directly to one individual, but we have a table there rather than prose so we can't work it in cleanly. Hmm. Shimgray | talk | 10:55, 21 November 2009 (UTC) Feel free to move it wherever you'd like. I've shuffled it off into the standard "Mission Background" section for now because that one already reads much like the tweetup. ie: 129th Shuttle flight since STS-1, XXrd assembly flight, 5th NASA tweetup, etc. This may or may not make sense long term. There is some indication that NASA will hold further Space Shuttle Program tweetups, in which case it seems to fit in that section. If it ends up being the only launch tweetup NASA holds, then Wikipedians will have to revisit the whole placement issue again. If a consensus forms against the material altogether, I won't fight it as it exists in a form in the Twitter entry. - Ageekgal (talk) 11:16, 21 November 2009 (UTC) Comment on wake-up calls in space shutte articles There was a request for comment made at WikiProject:Human Spaceflight, on the inclusion of a table containing the wake up calls. If you get a minute and could comment on what you think, that would be great. Thanks!--NavyBlue84 14:36, 21 November 2009 (UTC) How could Space adaptation syndrome be divided into sections? Hello. I went through the article, but can't find a way to implement the tag you added, at least in a way that would "improve accessibility" or feel necessary. Could you weigh in? --Kizor 08:51, 4 January 2010 (UTC) Spaceguard Hi Ageekgal, I am pretty much opposed to drive-by tagging and I have removed the two tags you placed there back in Oct 2009 as I found them unhelpful. Feel free to improve the article, there is much potential, recently a follow up study was conducted, I believe. best regards, Power.corrupts (talk) 10:50, 10 February 2010 (UTC) No need to tell me about it. That's the whole point of a wiki. - Ageekgal (talk) 19:17, 10 February 2010 (UTC) You are now a Reviewer File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010. Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages. When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here. If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 02:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC) Spaceflight portals Hello! As an member editor of one or more of the Spaceflight, Human spaceflight, Unmanned spaceflight, Timeline of spaceflight or Space colonisation WikiProjects, I'd like to draw to your attention a proposal I have made with regards to the future of the spaceflight-related portals, which can be found at Portal talk:Spaceflight#Portal merge. I'd very much appreciate any suggestions or feedback you'd be able to offer! Many thanks, Delivered by MessageDeliveryBot on behalf of WikiProject Human spaceflight at 08:37, 9 November 2010 (UTC). WikiProject Human spaceflight activity Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the spaceflight-related WikiProjects, I have made some changes to the list of members of WikiProject Human spaceflight. If you still consider yourself to be an active editor in this project, I would be grateful if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the critical mass of editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance! Delivered by MessageDeliveryBot on behalf of WikiProject Human spaceflight at 19:05, 17 November 2010 (UTC). WikiProject Spaceflight reboot Hello there! As you may or may not be aware, a recent discussion on the future of the Space-related WikiProjects has concluded, leading to the abolition of WP:SPACE and leading to a major reorganisation of WP:SPACEFLIGHT. It would be much appreciated if you would like to participate in the various ongoing discussions at the reorganisation page and the WikiProject Spaceflight talk page. If you are a member of one of WP:SPACEFLIGHT's child projects but not WP:SPACEFLIGHT itself, it would also be very useful if you could please add your name to the member list here. Many thanks!

Sergei Grinkov I know this is very old topic (November 2007). With all due respect, do you believe that Sergei Grinkov really deserves a WikiProject Figure Skating importance rating of "Top"? Ekaterina Gordeeva has an importance rating of "High". Jcflnj (talk) 20:33, 19 July 2011 (UTC) You've got mail! Namu Article Hello, I thought you might like to know that I came across some sources to verify a comment you made on the Namu (orca) article. Polar33 (talk) 01:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC) Wikiproject Texas I would appreciate it if you would have a look at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Texas, specifically about the Redesign of the project's main page, and about it joining WikiProject United States. For all intents and purposes, this project has reached a comatose state of involvement. Editors are creating and contributing to Texas articles. But the project site itself has been pretty dead for a long time. Anything you can add to the current discussions on that page would be appreciated.

Yours, Maximilianklein (talk) 04:07, 1 December 2012 (UTC) Image I was looking at File:Twbii-2.jpg and tagged it to not be uploaded to the commons. I suggest that you send a note to the OTRS people explaining how you hold the copyright, and then you move it to the commons yourself. This may avoid problems in the future if questions arise about who owns the photo. I fleshed out the template for you ... but took a guess on the date. You might want to fix that and include where the photo (city and state) was taken.--evrik (talk) 15:07, 23 January 2014 (UTC) What does OTRS stand for? Sorry, I've been a little out of the Wikipedia editing loop. My family is the copyright holder. I'm TWBII's granddaughter. Thomas Wakefield Blackburn III is my father, and the subject of the wiki article is my father's father (my grandfather.) My father is not on Wikipedia and cannot thus upload the image himself.

Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Spaceship Earth Grants, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Environment. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

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). Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:38, 29 March 2017 (UTC) Proposed deletion of Rising Star Programme by Kruger Cowne File:Ambox warning yellow.svg The article Rising Star Programme by Kruger Cowne has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: Citations are comprised almost entirely of the same press release, an article written by someone from the organization, and Facebook and Twitter posts. This award is not particularly notable, the XCOR Lynx is not going to be flying in 2018 (they stopped development), and the citations are not good. While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons. You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the Template:Tlc notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing Template:Tlc will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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 Sent by ZLEA at 23:30, 19 October 2019 (UTC) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) Coordinators and help needed File:School.svg Hi, if you are active on Wikipedia and are still interested in helping out with urgent tasks on our large Schools Project, please let us know here.
