Knotting articles

[edit]

Welcome to wikipedia and thanks for your recent contributions on knotting articles. I encourage you to take a look at WikiProject Knots for some background and informal guidelines regarding knotting articles on wikipedia. Feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions. --Dfred 15:44, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stopper Knot Images

[edit]

Hi,

I would just like to ask for a consideration regarding these images File:StopperKnot.GIF‎, and File:StopperKnot1.GIF. I have used them in this article, Stopper_knots. If you would be so kind enough to let it stay here at wikipedia for illustration purposes. I have formally asked a permission from the owner of these images and in which I was also given permission to edit it.

thnks. Bu b0y2007 08:08, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thanks for contributing to the 'pedia and getting permission to use the images. Unfortunately Wikipedia cannot accept images that are for Wikipedia use only, or are for non-commercial use only. (This seems counter-intuitive, but that's the way it is.) See WP:CSD, Images, criteria #3 for more details. Thanks, Fang Aili talk 14:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Fishing and WP:FISH

[edit]

Hi there. Congrats for launching the WP:Fishing. I thought I would never see this proposal ever realized. Anyway, I think WP:FISH can be considered as another parent project of this one as it is a parent project of WP:AQF which covers the fishkeeping hobby. Seems like a similar scope. What do you think? --Melanochromis 07:22, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You can redirect a page to another by using the redirect command. It's another icon near your signature icon when you edit a page. To give you some example, the page WP:FISHING now redirects to "Wikipedia:Do you ever go fishing?". --Melanochromis 08:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, it makes sense for the WikiProject to have the shortcut. Cheers! TenOfAllTrades(talk) 13:08, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the merger/redirect on the stopper knot articles. The redirect was the right way to go, rather than deletion which was mentioned at one point. --Dfred (talk) 17:07, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Fishing nominations

[edit]

the nominations guidlines say that you can only nominate up to three items per section. is that at once, or when you've used up your three, you can't nominate any more? themcman1 Talk 09:02, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the Welcome to the Fishing Portal

[edit]

Bu b0y2007 -- I note you are from Baguio City. I spent 1980-83 at Clark AB in Angeles City. Have spent many days in Baguio-A great mountain city. My fishing experiences in the PI were mostly saltwater. We'd take Banca boats off the beaches and fish for anything that would bite. I remember catching lots of Snapper. My favorite places were the Capones Islands off San Miquel, Hundred Islands and off the beaches of Bauang, La Union. I really enjoyed my time the Philippines.

Really should maintain Separate Notes and References sections

[edit]

Re your edits on Fly Tying

See WP:Citing sources see relevant guidelines below

Maintaining a separate "References" section in addition to "Notes" It can be helpful when footnotes are used that a separate "References" section also be maintained, in which the sources that were used are listed in alphabetical order. With articles that have lots of footnotes, it can become hard to see after a while exactly which sources have been used, particularly when the footnotes also contain explanatory text. A References section, which lists citations in alphabetical order, helps readers to see at a glance the quality of the references used.

Hi there. Just wanted to let you know that the fishing portal needs updates. I just took the liberty of updating it from May2007 to June2007 but this portal is still lagging one month behind though. I think the "July update" could probably go sometime mid-July as soon as there are nominations and votes for new articles. Cheers, --Melanochromis 03:52, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hope your health is getting better soon :) And it's good to have you back on wikipedia! --Melanochromis 19:23, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm sorry to bother you, but as a Wikiproject Grammar member, I just wondered if you would be willing to have a look through the Sheerness‎ article. It is currently a Featured Article Candidate and needs a copy-edit for grammar by someone who hasn't yet seen it. Any other ways to improve the article would also be welcome. Thank you very much, if you can. Epbr123 17:52, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Golf

[edit]

Hi Bu b0y2007
I thought that a way to further improve the golf articles on Wikipedia is for the whole project to work together towards a goal. An example of this could be a certain number of good articles in so many months, or to create the project's first ever featured article. If you are interested, come to the talk page and discuss it. And hopefully through this the project can continue to work towards several goals in the near future. Grover 10:00, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Underwater diving, and the
History of underwater diving

Hello Bu b0y2007! We are in the process of starting a WikiProject devoted entirely to Scuba Diving. Our goal is to expand Wikipedia's coverage on Scuba Diving. I encourage you to check out our project at WP:SCUBA and sign you name to the list of interested Wikipedians!

WP:SCUBA Newsletter Issue #1

[edit]
Welcome
Since this is the first issue of the WP:SCUBA Newsletter, I wanted to take a moment to welcome you as a charter member. We are starting a project with the goal of organizing an enormous amount of information, but as participation in WP:SCUBA expands, so will our editing power through collaboration. Please feel free to invite other interested Wikipedians to join our project.
Categorization of WP:SCUBA Articles
I believe that we need to adopt a categorization system to begin organizing these articles. Some categories exist, such as Category:Diving equipment, and can be utilized. The end goal should be to have a set of general categories (less than ten I would hope) that can be used to categorize ALL articles that fall under the scope of this project. Subcategories can then be utilized where needed. This will also help us identify where work needs to be done to further the WikiProject as a whole. Please post comments at the bottom of this page and let me know what you think.
Article Rating for WP:SCUBA
As you are hopefully aware, we place the {{WPSCUBA}} template on the talk page of any article that falls within the scope of WP:SCUBA. It is a standard practice to use the Project Template to rate articles as stub, start, B, GA, A, etc. I invite you to research what is involved in setting up a rating and reporting system for WP:SCUBA as we currently do not rate our articles. This will help us identify the most important articles to our cause, and easily see which articles need the most work. Please feel free to post any questions on my talk page.
YMCA SCUBA
It has been my personal goal to start creating articles to cover all of the major scuba diver certification agencies, and categorize them as Category:Diver training agency. On the List of diver training organizations YMCA SCUBA links to YMCA (diving organization), which then redirects to YMCA. The problem is that the YMCA article doesn't discuss their recreational diving program anywhere. I would like to start a separate YMCA Scuba article using the information on their Official Site, and fix the redirect at YMCA (diving organization) to point to the new article. I invite you to post your thoughts and opinions on these actions on my talk page.

I'd like to bring to your attention that the article Annotated Bibliography of Fly Fishing has been nominated for deletion. I believe this article is useful and should stay a part of Wikipedia. There are literally dozens of bibliographies in Wikipedia and I see no reason this particular one should be deleted. As a member of the fishing project I would hope you do as well. Please weigh in on the debate at: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Annotated Bibliography of Fly Fishing Thanks: --Mike Cline (talk) 12:49, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed blackout in protest of RA 10175

[edit]

Dear Bu b0y2007,

Greetings!

As a Filipino Wikipedian, I hope you are aware of the passage of Republic Act No. 10175, also known as the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012, which was signed into law by President Benigno Aquino III on September 12, 2012. Currently, there is a discussion on the Tambayan, the noticeboard for Philippines-related topics, about a proposed blackout of the English Wikipedia in the Philippines in order to protest the passage of RA 10175, similar to the blackout against SOPA and PIPA held earlier this year. I feel that your input on the subject will definitely help in the discussion.

Please feel free to participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines#The Cybercrime Prevention Act, and I hope your input will help the Filipino Wikipedia community determine which is the best course of action against this law. Similarly, we hope to get as much input from as many Wikipedians as possible.

Thank you and maraming salamat po!

Kind regards,

Sky Harbor (talk) 13:57, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Category:Fishing portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

2019 US Banknote Contest

[edit]
US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. 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
