WikiCup

Hello, so far 6 days in, you have not made any mainspace edits, and have 0 points. There are currently many users on the waiting list. If you don't plan on being very active, it would be kind to let someone on the waiting list have your spot, who will be more active and get more work done. If you don't reply to this message (regardless of what your answer is), you will be removed from the cup to allow a more active editor to participate. Thanks, iMatthew // talk // 20:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Just to butt in here; according to a message he left he is AFK for the rest of the week. Normal service should, I guess, resume monday. Ironholds (talk) 21:04, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year

Hi, Rambo's Revenge! I see you're working on the article BBC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. Would you say it would be appropriate to add another column to the table to mention some important points about the individuals? I stopped working on the article a few days ago since I found something else that needs some attention, and now I'm trying to find refs for the rest of the individuals. Looks like there are almost no RSs about them. User:Ironholds suggested this at WP:PRIZE and it looks to me like a good idea, but that would leave the ones without refs with no records at all. So what do you think? And if there's anything I can do with the article, just tell me, I'd be glad to help. Cheers. Chamal ^talk 14:22, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Picture captions

No problem. It had nothing to do with the style guidelines, I was just improving the flow of the captions. In doing so, they became complete sentences, so I added periods to the end. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:42, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of female United States Cabinet Secretaries

Can you please take a look at this FLC again? I have addressed your comments. Thanks—Chris! _ct 06:23, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

George W. Bush portrait

Please stop undoing the George W. Bush portrait on List of Presidents of the United States. As I put on the discussion page, that is the correct George W. Bush portrait. That is his official White House portrait.Yezn0r (talk) 10:01, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Two things, firstly that is debated. Secondly, and more importantly fact that it is an official portrait does not necessarily make it public domain. Hillary Clinton's official portrait has recently been deleted on Commons [1] with rationale "the is a commissioned work by the Executive Office, not a work OF a member of the Executive Office. The artist retains the copyright and there is no evidence that he gave up those rights" This has had a knock-on effect at an FLC of getting all recent portraits removed from the List of First Ladies. This should also probably apply to the List of Presidents and even more established official portraits, for example the Clinton one, claim they are not public domain. (right click on the image). Thanks, Rambo's Revenge (talk) 10:33, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

In fact I have replaced all the questionable post-1923 images with unquestionably free pictures. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 11:26, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Someone should email the White House and ask as to the copyright status of the later portraits directly. --Golbez (talk) 17:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

List of First Ladies of the United States

Hi. I believe I have now addressed the image issue at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of First Ladies of the United States. If you could return to comment, I'd appreciate it. Thank you! Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:53, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I was planning to review the list later. For now I will comment that I am happy with the changing of images. I won't add a support only for the reason that I have not had time to give the list a full review yet. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 18:00, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Ugh. I saw the image review from BomBom.. Guess I got my work cut out for me.. :/ Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 02:42, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Regarding hatnotes

Hi, Rambo. The word "old" in the hatnote for Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards and prizes seems confusing because it makes it seems like this is the "new" project that replaced the old. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards page uses the phrase "not to be confused with..." which makes it clear that there are seperate projects. I remember being confused by the wording at Wikipedia:WikiProject Awards and prizes before and now seemed like the perfect time to mention it. What do you think? Jason Quinn (talk) 20:55, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, for letting me know. I have now changed the hatnotes. Sorry it took a while. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:20, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: Copyedit please

Certainly; I'd be happy to help. I'll pdo some copyediting within the next few hours. Cheers, –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 23:35, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 Done :) –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:16, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

No worries. It's very easy to make slight mistakes when you're very familiar with an article. Overall, the prose was generally good, and after my copyedit, I think it would do quite well at FAC. –Juliancolton ^{Tropical Cyclone} 00:29, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Images in First Lady list

I have gone through the images at List of First Ladies of the United States. I believe everything is now in order. Please revisit Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of First Ladies of the United States if you would like to comment. Regards, Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:26, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Done, good job! Rambo's Revenge (talk) 15:12, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Other BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards

On January 20, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Other BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

List of Popotan episodes

since the nomination was archived can you respond to my arguments in the article's talk page?じんない 23:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I have commented here. Rambo's Revenge (talk) 23:08, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

I beleive I have met sourced everything you wanted. The phrasing is being looked at by an outside copyeditor ATM, with another one on backup.じんない 05:31, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

I have re-posted this on the FLC after addressing all the issues raised.じんない 22:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Bush Portrait up for Deletion

I saw the conversation you had with others on List of Presidents of the United States you were right, as of right now the George W Bush portrait is up for deletion. Your comments are welcome. Thanks -Marcusmax(speak) 02:33, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
