Hi

I see that you have done a great deal of work on the Indiana U athletic teams. What whould you think of moving the page to Indiana Hoosiers? Many of college athletic programs pages are done in that style Smith03 21:51, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I noticed that and had considered it. I was following the lead of the Kansas schools, but I think you're right and "Indiana Hoosiers" would be more appropriate. Feel free to change/merge it, but obviously be sure to correct the existing links to the other page. Thanks for helping. --YHoshua 21:57, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Update: I went ahead and did it. Thanks again for the suggestion.--YHoshua 22:05, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Mike Davis (coach), which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Mike Davis article

I notice that the text of the Mike Davis article that you created bears striking similarities to the CollegeSports.com article found here. Does there perhaps need to be a reference made here? -Maaya 05:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• It is only portions that use facts released by the university. Most important, the school's biography is a perpetual press release created to be used by the media and similar bodies for the very purpose of "fair use." The school's bio can be referenced for additional information, and that may be helpful, but it need not be referenced for copyright or fair use purposes. --YHoshua 05:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've blocked him (I prefer blocks over protecting pages). Tell me if you need anything else. --King of All the Franks 03:39, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted the vandalism and warned him a few minutes ago with {{spam1}}. I just checked the

WP:VIP after giving the necessary warnings. I also have the article on my watchlist now, so I can help out with reverting any additional spam to the article.

He's now been unblocked by Jareth, since he has said he intends to be a major contributor and has stated that he is not intending to sell anything. He sent an email to me about his site and intentions; I can forward that to you, if you want. I think that his edits to Evansville, Indiana, were largely in good faith; he mentioned to me that his competitors, such as Evansville Living, are allowed to have their links there. This should probably be discussed on Talk:Evansville, Indiana; you made a revert due to "consensus", when in fact the topic had never discussed on talk. This should tell both of us, and Merovingian, to more careful; some of the terms that have been thrown around regarding including his site made him upset with us. Hopefully, we can remedy that. --Idont Havaname 20:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, I didn't say a consensus had been reached. I told him to move it on the talk page until one had been reached. However it is worth noting that he was the only one adding the link and numerous people had been removing it.--YHoshua 22:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also worth noting is that he has not made other contributions. The only contributions he has made, and made repeatedly, are links to his own site.--YHoshua 22:51, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I imagine this is a perennial subject, but after a rv war between myself and another user, the subject of changing Indiana University to redirect to Indiana University Bloomington has resurfaced here.

Hey there,

First congrats on earning your J.D. As I'm sure you are aware, it's quite a significant accomplishment and I respect anyone who has the ability and makes the effort to obtain such a distinction. I have considered law school from time to time, as I'm currently a grad student at USI, but I think I'm going to work for my Ph.D in philosophy instead and go into teaching.

I created a category for Wikipedians in Evansville, and I saw your comments on the Evansville entry talk page and thought I'd do a little promotion.

It's nice to "meet" you, and best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

Interested in meeting other Evansville area Wikipedians and celebrating Wikipedia's tenth birthday together on January 15th, 2011?

If so, stop by tenwiki:Evansville and add your name to the page. We'll all need to put our heads together to plan this.

Wondering what stalkerly person would find you? I found your name by performing a User-filtered search for pages that link to Evansville, Jasper, Henderson, and Owensboro.

Hi. Your weblinks about Wednesday to the main

A number of scholars disagree with the Wednesday Crucifixion theory, but nonetheless find it pervasive and compelling enough to address and refute. The Mystery of the Last Supper: Reconstructing the Final Days of Jesus, written by Prof. Colin J. Humphreys of Cambridge University and the Royal Institution in London, recounts and refutes the arguments for Wednesday Crucifixion. Jimmy Aiken of the National Catholic Register also takes time to refute the Wednesday Crucifixion theory here, noting that "some Protestant churches, especially Fundamentalist ones" subscribe to the theory. Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ by H. W. Hoehner also discusses this at length. Other sources from books which advance the theory include Wednesday Crucifixion by Rev. George L. Miller and this older doctoral dissertation by Jeremiah Knigh Aldrich, altough neither of these two authors are professors. Taken together, the Wednesday Crucifixion position is certainly a minority one but I included it because of its pervasiveness in the scholarly discussion of crucifixion dates.--YHoshua (talk) 05:39, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Now that I have looked at some sources, I think you did well to bring it up, so it could get included with sources. My general feeling is that if an item is discussed in scholarly sources, sooner or later it needs to be included, based on proper context, with suitable length, etc. That is how pages reach what one might call "overall completeness". So I think your edit concluded in a positive enhancement to both pages. I guess that is how 3 million article came about, one discussion at a time... History2007 (talk)

Me a Hoosier? I attend IU, but I refuse to identify as a Hoosier :-) I'm much more at home in western Pennsylvania and in my native Ohio; the only time I've felt home in Indiana was when I visited New Harmony last fall, and that's because it felt just like Ambridge.

As far as your request: I'd say wait a while. Unfortunately, people aren't likely to support someone with just 1,169 edits, especially when you've made fewer than 400 edits in the last year. I tend to be more willing than the average to support candidates with shorter experience (especially when they've been around for seven years), but I'm not sure that I could support anyone with your contribution history to this point: things can change a lot from year to year, and I'd like to see more sustained activity before supporting a request for adminship. However, the complete lack of entries in your block log and your participation in lots of different namespaces is good; I'd just say that you need to keep editing for a while and consider running (or asking advice about running) in a few months. Be aware that people at RFA often want to see GAs or FAs to a candidate's credit; I think that such an idea is going way too far (it's unrelated to blocking disruptive editors and deleting problematic pages), but if you're interested in that type of recognition, it would be good to try for it now rather than waiting.

On a mostly unrelated matter, I've noticed your new NRHP articles (largely because I've taken most of the pictures on National Register of Historic Places listings in Vanderburgh County, Indiana), and I have a couple of suggestions to make your life simpler. (1) It seems to me that you're manually filling {{Infobox NRHP}} for your new articles. You can get a mostly complete infobox by going to http://www2.elkman.net/nrhp/infobox.php (run by Elkman) and putting in the name of the site; all you'll need to do is adding links, photos, and chopping the "architect OR builder" line down to "architect". It also supplies categories for the article, so those can speed your way. By the way, the convention on these infoboxes is to use the name that the NRHP gives for the site, even if the name is uncommon and/or not the name of the article, so I've changed the infobox for Bayard Park. (2) You can get more information on most of these properties from SHAARD, a database on the website of the Department of Natural Resources. Go to this page, accept the conditions, pick National Register from the dropdown menu, and either enter the name of the site you want in the "Historic Name" field or simply pick Vanderburgh County from the county dropdown. When you click the search button at the bottom of the page, you'll get a list of sites; click the "View" link to get more information. This will give you a page with multiple tabs, including one for Photos and PDFs; they've digitised documentation for almost all of the state's NRHP properties by now, including most or all of the Vanderburgh County sites. For example, see the NRHP nomination form for the Alhambra Theatorium. Don't be surprised if you see images on there that are the same as images on Wikipedia; I've noticed that many of the photos I take of NRHP sites (especially a lot in Marion County, although maybe some in Vanderburgh) get added there without attribution to me. That's quite fine, since I upload images as {{PD-self}}; just please don't think that I've copied their photos :-) Nyttend (talk) 01:05, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, regarding Template:Did you know nominations/Indiana–Kentucky rivalry: DYK hooks are limited to 200 characters and almost never have multiple sentences. If you want to use just the first part "... that the Indiana–Kentucky rivalry is one of the most intense because the two schools have consistently been among the nation's elite men's basketball teams?", that's fine and you should remove the rest. Or if you want to include the statistics, you should redo it in a way such that it's a single question of 200 characters or less. MANdARAX • XAЯAbИAM 20:40, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy! Good to see someone else from the area is active on Wikipedia; we ought to meet each other sometime!

I've had a really brief look at some analyses of your edit history, and I'm noticing you haven't had very many edits to talk pages. Since adminship is very closely entwined with matters of discussion, I'd say you need to become an active participant in discussions regarding articles and processes on Wikipedia before you'll impress most of the folks who would otherwise turn down your RfA. Also, I highly recommend you have a look at some passed and failed RfAs to see what the candidates go through-- it's quite possibly the most stressful week in the life of several individuals. You definitely would want to make sure you've established yourself in the community as a good citizen before you allow them to throw fruit (in cans, so to speak) at you. Also, to give you an idea, I'd personally recommend having at least three years of solidified editing and community experience and probably at least 5,000 edits on the English Wikipedia. The less experience you've got, the less likely there will be many supporters in your RfA.

That's not to discourage you, but I hope it's valuable input! I encourage you to constantly watch all the edits you make with the hopes that when you do run for administrator, you can do it with the highest level of confidence.

Hope that helps! Bob the WikipediaN ^{(talk • contribs)} 23:29, 28 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also you deleted the 2000 census info I put in, I don't really care, but I was told during my bot approval process it was the consensus to have both 2000 and 2010 data in the article in their own sections, that is why I put it back in.

We cannot use multiple sources for data tables. That's simply not how statistics works. If I were to go scour every website for the university's inflated SAT scores, we would have a very incorrect picture of the student body at all these schools. Universities may use IPEDS or SER format to report SAT. Also, most schools(for marketing reasons) inflate their scores by posting "admitted" students or "confirmed" students. Collegeboard is the official resource for the college search procedure. Data reported to Collegeboard all follows the same methodology, so we don't have to worry about Michigan using SER of admitted students versus Nebraska using accepted IPED data.

Hi YHoshua, I notice you've re-created the Jackson article again, and also removed the advice we left you above on the simple steps required to license that content here. Your source site still claims copyright and "all rights reserved" and does not have the text I had mentioned that would allow its use. You have to stop doing this until the content is officially licensed, even if you own every word of it. Otherwise 2 likely outcomes will be the page being set so it can never be created again, or worse, you being prevented from making any edits here. So once again, please see WP:DONATETEXT and if you wish to license your site's content for anyone anywhere to use for any purpose, then add that you the page. Otherwise and until that happens, this article has to be deleted again. Sorry, but that is one policy that we have to be fairly strict on due to legal ramifications for Wikipedia. CrowCaw 20:35, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply ] This is really getting tiresome. The source of the alleged violation for Joe B. Jackson, [2], does not at all claim to be licensed. The footer very clearly states, "All material released by Claybourn Genealogical Society, Inc. to the public domain". How do I know this? Because I own, operate, and run that website. I released it fully to the public domain, and was sure to note it on the website. Perhaps you need to refresh your page? Regardless, please stop deleting a page for copyright violations when no such violation exists.--YHoshua (talk) 21:11, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply] As stated on my page, but putting here for the record too, yes I did have a cached version of that page, and the current form is perfect for use here. Apologies for the misfire today and thanks for your contributions and I hope to see more! CrowCaw 21:30, 19 May 2017 (UTC)[reply] A barnstar for you! The Resilient Barnstar Thanks for bearing with us on what is admittedly a cumbersome and confusing process with copyrights, and not being driven off by it!

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)[reply] Orphaned non-free image File:John H.

As such, I believe this article does not meet Wikipedia:GNG 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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.

Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:47, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply] Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Davis If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article. You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles. A tag has been placed on Mike Davis, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are: It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information. It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable . If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by here. Iseult Δx parlez moi 17:50, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply ] You're invited!
