Wikiproject: Green Bay Packers:

Hi again feel free to talk about expanding the packers wikiproject.

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to WikiProject Green Bay Packers! We are a group of Wikipedians with one common interest, the Green Bay Packers!

There are many things you can do to help out and get yourself involved. Here is a few suggestions.

• First visit the main page and our discussion page to see whats going on.
• You can add {{WikiProject Green Bay Packers}} to talk pages of Green Bay Packers-related articles, and please assess them as well.
• You can categorize Green Bay Packers articles into their proper categories.
• Visit the main page and look under Tasks to see any other things that need to be done.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or would like to talk about the project in general, feel free to leave a message on the talk page or contact User:Gonzo fan2007. Thanks for your interest in the project, and let's go out and work on those articles!

I see that you have already offered your help with A.J. Hawk, thats awesome! Let's see if we can get this article into really great condition. Feel free to ask me anything if you have any questions!

RfA nom.

Hello! I must inform you that I'm going to have to decline your offer to nominate me at this time. After the failed RfA for User:RC-0722 (he has about 300 more edits that I do), It probably would be in the best interest that I wait for a while before accepting another nom. If you ever need any help or have any other questions about Wikipedia, please feel free to ask me on my talk page. Drop a line! Burner0718 (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits are considered vandalism and are immediately reverted. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning. Please stop, and consider improving rather than damaging the work of others. Thank you. Nakon 23:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for Adminship (RFA)

Hey Pookeo9 there are certain criteria to becoming an administrator. Just signing yourself up does not guarantee that you will become and admin. The guidelines are pretty much common sense. You must have knowledge of Wikipedia's Core Policies, it is recommended you have more than 3 months experience and you have more than a certain amount of edits (I forgot). Most of all you must be trusted by the community. Knowing all of this does not guarantee admin tools. There are other issues that need to worked out, so if you try again take into consideration what others have to say. I failed at my RFA but I have taken into consideration everything people said and in a couple months I will try again. So I suggest that in a couple months to a year you try getting an admin coach and when they feel that you are ready try becoming an admin. But until then work hard and continue to help this project.

Thanks!

Hey Pookeo9, thanks for your support at my RFA and the congrats on my talk page. If you ever have any questions or need any help, feel free to ask. Thanks again!

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Tony Allen guarding the ball.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Act tony allen.jpg. The copy called Image:Act tony allen.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 18:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Request for mediation not accepted

A Request for Mediation to which you were are a party was not accepted and has been delisted. You can find more information on the case subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Pookeo9. For the Mediation Committee, WjBscribe 02:45, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

This message delivered by MediationBot, an automated bot account operated by the Mediation Committee to perform case management.
If you have questions about this bot, please contact the Mediation Committee directly.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Pookeo9

I have withdrawn your request for adminship because, at the final tally of 1,7,0, (for the sake of neutrality, the tally could be considered 1,6,0 discarding my vote as the closer) it had almost no chance of passing. Please consider what the opposition has stated, and try again in a few months time. Thank you, -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 23:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

You may also want to consider WP:ADOPT. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 00:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

And you may want to consider working on mainspace before you apply for rollback. —BoL 00:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Tony Allen guarding the ball.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Tony Allen guarding the ball.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mønobi 01:19, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Adoption

Hi, Pooke09, and welcome to the frightening but wonderful world of Wikipedia! We have a scheme here in which experienced users help new ones along the way a little and help them to avoid getting messages like the ones you have above here. If you would like me to do this, I have some spare time at present, and can help you with some of the complicated things. If you're happy with this, drop me a line on my talk page (it's linked from my signature, just click the + on top of my talk page when you get there), let me know what sort of editing you want to do, and we can take it from there. If this isn't what you want to do, you may find yourself getting more and more annoying messages. Up to you, of course. Cheers! --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 01:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)re

I'd be willing to adopt you. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 01:32, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

OK. If you'd like, you can put {{adoptee|JetLover}} on your userpage. I will check up on your edits and give you pointers. Happy editing! JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 03:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback/Denied/January 2008#Pookeo9. RFRBot (talk) 03:00, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Your edits to Sarcoganif's disease and its deletion discussion

I think that by blanking the page, you were trying to close the AfD. I'm certain that it will close as a delete but I suggest letting admin handle it. The discussion is only a day old and AfDs typically last about five days before the decision is acted on. Enviroboy^Talk_Cs 21:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rubens Gerchman

Hi, I'd reccomend not nominating an article for deletion because it is out of shape. Thanks. JetLover (talk) (Report a mistake) 03:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pookeo9 -- I notice that you closed this AfD discussion, but you didn't get the formatting quite right, and you forgot to add the old afd tag to the talk page. I've fixed these for you, but in future it's best to follow the procedure at Wikipedia:Deletion_process#Articles_for_Deletion_page. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 10:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks from Happy-melon

I just wanted to say thanks for your support for my RfA, which closed (74/2/0) this morning. Your comment and support was much appreciated, and certainly gave me a smile! Happy‑melon 09:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Note of discussion

Hi Pookeo9, please note that there is currently a discussion regarding you at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Pookeo9 - please free to comment. --Iamunknown 23:35, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Tip

Sign your name with four tildes (like this: ~~~~). Editorofthewiki 19:21, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching request status

You have expressed interest in undergoing the Admin coaching program. However, after reviewing your edit history, I feel you may need more experience editing (i.e., >2,500 edits & 4 months of activity) on Wikipedia before you can know for certain your ready to begin the process of becoming an administrator. Therefore, at this time, your application for Admin Coaching has been declined. My suggestion would be to seek adoption from a more experienced user who can help you experience all of the various components of editing an encyclopedia. If you decide adoption is not for you, there is also the editor review process that may help you find areas to improve upon in our editing. If you would like to talk more about this, please feel free to leave me a my talk page. MBisanz talk 21:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Green Bay Packers Newsletter

The Green Bay Packers WikiProject Newsletter

The Green Bay Packers WikiProject Newsletter! Volume 1, Issue 1 - March 302008 Ryan Grant Welcome! Welcome to the Green Bay Packers WikiProject. As you should know, we are a group dedicated to making the Green bay Packers not only the best team in the NFL, but also the best covered on Wikipedia. This is a great way to show your support for America's best small-town team. Right now, we are working on creating a solid base for the WikiProject, so that we will be able to easily coordinate our efforts to succeed in our main goal, expand the articles! Nothing is set in stone, and all users are on an equal footing, so comments, suggestions, concerns, and being BOLD is welcome! Please come take a look at the project page, and become part of our community. If you feel you can help out in coordinating certain parts of the project, or have some new ideas, please let us know! Article news Jack Clancy and Ryan Grant became the second and third Good Articles within the project's scope. List of Green Bay Packers head coaches was promoted to Featured list status. (nom) Snow Bowl (1985) is currently being discussed for deletion. (nom) Currently the project has 1062 assessed articles under its scope. Collaboration The Green Bay Packers Wikiproject has three specific collaboration efforts, and one open collaboration effort: Nominated Collaborations- As with most WikiProjects, we have an area for members to nominate articles that need attention. Featured and Good Content Collaboration- The Project also has a specific area for members to receive help with building an article up to GA-Class, FA-Class, or FL-Class. Every B-Class article within the scope of the project has been identified as a candidate for the area of collaboration. Nominations of new articles or of lower-class articles are also welcome in this area. Stub Collaboration- One major key to this Project is to make sure that no top-importance and ultimately high-importance article is a stub. This area of collaboration is for members to work on de-stubbing important articles within the project's scope. As with the other collaboration efforts, this area is open to member nominations. Special Collaboration- This last area is for special collaboration efforts. This area will not always be in use, but is usually used for collaboration efforts that focus on adding certain aspects to every page. Currently, the special collaboration is focused on adding an appropriate Infobox to every article that requires one. Hopefully, we will be able to get the services of a bot to automatically search our categories and create a list here, which will allow members to add the appropriate infobox to each article. Assessment Please assess any articles found in Category:Unknown-importance Green Bay Packers articles or Category:Unassessed-Class Green Bay Packers articles! Currently, the project will employ the work of a bot, SatyrBot, to help the project tag new article with our project banner. Every two weeks, the bot will search every article in each Green Bay Packers category, and any article found to be in the category without a project tag will be listed here. Any article on this page should be tagged with our banner, making sure to assess the article by class and importance. A worklist showing each article under the project's scope by class and importance can be found here, with a log of changes of assessments found here, and the project's statistics can be found here. Members Currently the project has 32 members, vastly more than any other NFL team project. A full list of our members can be found here. The project coordinator is Gonzo fan2007. Any questions, comments, or concerns about the project or Wikipedia in general can be addressed to the Project's talk page or Gonzo fan's talk page. Please invite new members by either using a personal message, or {{InvitePackersProject}}. If new members join, please welcome them with {{WelcomePackersProject}} while also giving them a personal welcome. To stop receiving this newsletter, or to receive it in a different format, please let us know here. If you have any news or any announcements to be broadcast, do let us know.
