Orphaned non-free media (File:2010 WNBA All-Star.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:2010 WNBA All-Star.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Dan Hughes

Hello. Another editor tagged the article Dan Hughes for its similarity to it source, but did not provide you the requisite notice. Since resolving the issue does not require deleting the entire article, I have nevertheless processed the listing.

It is plain that when you created the article on March 2009, the source page already existed and already included - under full reservation of copyright - the content that you placed in the article. It is archived here. For one example of copied content, we have this:

This is just one paragraph. There were multiple.

You had, at the time you created this article, already been notified multiple times of our copyright policies. I hope that in the time since you placed this material, you have familiarized yourself better with our copyright requirements and would encourage you, if you are in any doubt, to read Misplaced Pages:Copy-paste and the policies and guidelines to which it links. In a nutshell, content cannot be pasted onto Misplaced Pages unless it is public domain or compatibly licensed (if it is compatibly licensed, license must be demonstrated - see WP:IOWN). We are able to use brief and clearly marked quotations in compliance with non-free content policies, but otherwise material from copyrighted sources that are not verifiably compatibly licensed must be placed in your own words. This is a legal requirement and an essential part of our Terms of Use. For that reason, contributors who continue to violate copyright policies after notice may be blocked from further editing.

If you can verify license of this content and need assistance, or if you have questions about these policies, you are welcome to contact me on my talk page. If there is other copyrighted content that you have copied onto Misplaced Pages that does not follow these policies, please take the time to go back and clean it up - even if it was done a long time ago. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl 18:53, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposal to start a women's basketball task force

I'm very interested in improving coverage of women's basketball. I thought briefly about forming a Wikiproject, but while researching, realized that a task force would be ideal. There are two major advantages of a task force over a Wikiproject. First is that the task force can leave some of the bureaucracy to the parent Wikiproject. Second, and possibly more important, is that a task force can have more than one parent Wikiproject. While WikiProject Basketball is an obvious parent, so is WikiProject Women's sport, and the task force may be able to draw from both.

According to this process for starting a task force, the first thing to do is gather consensus, so I am sending this to some editors who have been active in editing relevant articles. If there is sufficient interest, I'll take a first stab at filling out the task force template and creating a draft task force page.

At this point, all I need is an answer to two questions:

1. I would (or would not) be interested in being part of a task force to improve the coverage of women's basketball
2. I think a different approach would be better (followed by alternative).--SPhilbrick(Talk) 11:58, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Basketball/Women's basketball has been created. I haven't yet added it to the Wikiproject pages, but will do that, however, I wanted to let you know it exists, and has some suggested tasks.SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:13, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Adrianne Wadewitz Memorial edit-a-thons

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Misplaced Pages community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows: May 21st at Northeastern University's Snell Library, in the Digital Scholarship Commons on the second floor May 22nd at Brown University's Rockefeller Library, in the Digital Scholarship Lab June 25th at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (exact location TBA), where we will also be hosting a "how to conduct an edit-a-thon" session beforehand We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Misplaced Pages for the first time. If you have any questions, please leave a message at Kevin Rutherford's talk page. You can unsubscribe from future notifications for Boston-area events by removing your name from this list.

Incorrect WNBA roster template

You created the Tulsa Shock 2012 season page and in doing so used a template that shows the current roster, rather than the roster of 2012. Wickorama (talk) 07:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Country discography

I agree that it would make more sense, but chart peaks older than 2012 used to only appear in the source for the Country Songs chart and not the Country Airplay chart, which is why it was done the way it was. Recently Billboard started listing them in both, so what might work is combining the two columns, similar to what's been done to Carrie Underwood discography.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Moonshine in the Trunk, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Perfect Storm. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You added the photo of Crystal Langhorne in 2011. That photo shows her in a Washington mystics uniform. I am replacing it with a more current photo which also reflects her current team. If you think we should do something differently, let's discuss.--S Philbrick(Talk) 19:13, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Tulsa Shock alternate logo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Tulsa Shock alternate logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 03:00, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
