Thanks for uploading Image:MonumentRodriguez.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{

Tri Nations Aggregate
Hi Gringo, I just want to clear up the ituation regarding the template. I submitted the champions page to the FLC, and a reviewer suggested that the template should be deleted as it is only in that article. So I went through the steps of nominating it for deletion as the reviewer suggested. But, I then realised it was on the ABs page, and I then saw your message on the main talk page about using it on other pages and how it only has to be updated once. So I removed the deletion tag quickly!! Sorry about that! Hope its all good. Cvene64 11:25, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks I'm glad you like it, another user (from the Featured List Candidate) changed the one on that page, so I though I'd give the colspan look a try on your template as well. Nice work on all the tables in the individual tournaments, the Tri Nations articles are shaping up quite nicely in time for the 06 Series! Cheers. Cvene64 14:45, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

- In reply to your note, I'm usually around Villarrica. Been around here since '97. Actually I guess I should have put NZ on my list. We made friends with a student Dr. who came to Chile from there to do part of her internship here in the mid '80s. Afterwards she went to practice in northern Australia and it's been a long while since we've heard from her. Which University do you teach at? Do you also hold workshops to understand the NZ accent? ;-) I think the most fun part of knowing Raewyn (the Dr.) was trying to figure out what she was saying.
- What do you think of the Chilean Universities' practice of charging graduates to get a certificate of their degree? I have a daughter graduating and was appaled when I was informed of this. I'd never heard of anything like this in Canada. Do they do anything like that in NZ? --JAXHERE | Talk 12:56, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

We'll probably bump into eachother from time to time ... I am doing a lot of work on chilean articles, too.

I've probably got to add one more section on club vs country which I'm going to get done asap, but after that I think she'll be ready to go to FAC. - Shudde talk 02:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)]

SPATRA reactivation
Hello GringoInChile, I notice that you were involved in the project Wikipedia:Spanish Translation of the Week a few years ago. However I also notice that here has been very little activity since 2007. This is a project I'm particularly interested in and would love to see it revived. I've taken the bold step of identifying an article requiring translation and I'm in the process of inviting collaboration. The article History of Puerta del Sol could really use your help. In addition, I'd welcome any ideas you may have to help revive this project so that there is greater collaboration among ES>EN translators on en.Wikipedia. I'm identifying various contributors from whom the SPATRA project may benefit. If you have any recommendations then feel free to contact them directly or submit there usernames to me via my talkpage. I look forward to your participation. Gratefully - EagerToddler39 (talk) 02:29, 22 September 2013 (UTC)
