Hi Pharos,

Did you get my email? We've got a newsletter due out soon and it would be helpful to have some stats on the project - number of contributors and photos per museum. Thanks AndrewRT(Talk) 21:18, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Mothman.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". 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:Non-free 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our

I for one think your fair-use rational is very convincing. I wouldn't want to come face to face with Mothman itself. --Mblumber (talk) 19:44, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikis Take Manhattan 3 co-coordinators

I know I couldn't make it for the March 29, 2009 meet. I have the interest of being co-coordinator with you on the next Wikis Take Manhattan, to help put lists and everything together. I also want to put more of a transportation trend in this years. I have some other ideas too. Reply when you can.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 12:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

hey, did you get to see the post above. I am really interested. :) - And possibly starting work on Wikimedia Takes the Jersey Shore, which would be fun.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 00:58, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Think we should probably give the competitors more sources of information to use in the competition, because some people might get lost. Another idea would be to probably let people take more than 1 image and the card. I mean, for all we know, people might do things better on pic 3 or 4. As well, I do want to let people feel a little more free to go farther via car. (May I suggest Nassau County?) Also, I would suggest would be starting the competition at 10.Mitchazenia :  Chat  Trained for the pen 22:38, 14 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding an article having to do with China/North Korea

Hello there. I found you by looking through the list of admins from Wikipedia:WikiProject International relations and thought I should run this by you...

I came across

Missile issues in East Asia, and thought you'd might want to take a look at it. Personally, I think it's an unnecessary article, as 90% of it is straight from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty

article, while the rest just basically says "North Korea and China are pointing missiles at US allies in the Far East." INF did not involve China or North Korea at all, did it not? If I'm wrong, the article fails to inform me how the INF treaty fits into all of this. To me, it also seems as if it is a veiled form of objective protest.

Seeing as how I'm not knowledgeable enough on this subject to know whether or not to give it PROD tag or suggest merging it with other related articles, etc., I figure I'd best let you look at it at decide the best course of action. At the very least, it deserves a cleanup tag of sorts, as it is very poorly written. Happy editing. - SoSaysChappy (talk) 16:06, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New image project

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects

Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files

. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:23, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WLA photos

"They haven't been uploaded to Commons yet. We're deliberately holding off on uploading them until the participating museums have finished their labeling process at Flickr.--Pharos (talk) 14:47, 6 March 2009 (UTC)" ... as far as I know, the labeling is done, the scoring is done, and the winners have been announced, so can we let 'er rip now?

Oh, I stand corrected -- Cary says the scoring isn't done yet, but labeling should be complete at any rate.

Thanks for organizing the meeting. I found out who you can call at the Library to try to set up an educational program, and I e-mailed this info to dgoodman: 1. Phil Yockey, Mgr. of Bartos Educational Center, 212-930-9204 OR 2. Madeline Cohen, Asst. director for Electronic resources at the science library @34th St: 212-592-7025.

your museum project

hi Pharos, hope all is well with you. Haven't forgotten about your e-mail but I saw this post Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Museums#The_Science_Museum_At_Wroughton_.28Formerly_Science_Museum_Swindon.29 and thought of the work you were doing with some museums. Wanted to put this one on your radar. Hoping to catch up with Wiki stuff soon. StarM 01:13, 30 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Location change (and reservations made) for DC meetup

I stopped by TGI Friday's this evening and was less than impressed. They apparently don't take reservations, except perhaps if you call 24 hours ahead of time. The staff was not so helpful, and the menu has hardly anything vegetarian which is an issue for some people.

So, I checked out the Bertucci's pizza/Italian place across the street (21st & I St NW). Their staff couldn't have been more helpful, and think it will be fairly quiet so we will be able to hear each other. So, reservations are made for Bertucci's at 5pm on Saturday. --Aude (talk) 02:37, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
