Portland Parks Photo Blitz!

	<font=3> Want something to do this weekend? I propose a WikiProject Oregon weekend photo blitz! Let's try to fill up the List of parks in Portland, Oregon as much as possible by getting out and taking our own pictures or finding ones online that can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The pictures uploaded will not only benefit the aforementioned list, but they will be used for future articles about specific parks and will fill up the Parks in Portland category over at Commons. Get your cameras ready! --Another Believer _(Talk) 21:24, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Minor league task force

For the most part, the members of WikiProject Baseball hold Minor League Baseball in very low regard. Such a task force under their leadership would be an uphill battle. I am not currently a member of the WikiProject and therefore don't believe I can be a member of one of its subdivisions. Despite the name of the WikiProject, the focus is not on Baseball, but narrowly on Major League Baseball to the near exclusion of everything else. Best of luck with your task force.

Comment

From the looks of it, you're going down the alphabetical list of major leaguers and writing articles for those who do not have one, am I correct? I've been doing the same this in reverse alphabetical order. Keep up the great work! Alex (talk) 21:02, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Year ranges

I was just looking at the MoS on dates, and I saw something that ticked a memory of a discussion we had. When we were talking a while back about issues with the Pop Williams article, you mentioned that years in a range should always be four-digit. It appears the MoS disagrees with you. From WP:YEAR: "A closing CE or AD year is normally written with two digits (1881–86) unless it is in a different century from that of the opening year (1881–1986)". Just thought you'd want to know. -Dewelar (talk) 14:42, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 18:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

But it also states that "The full closing year is acceptable" so it's not much of an issue. Thanks again. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 18:54, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

No problem. I know you do a lot of work trying to get articles up to GA/FA status, so wanted to make sure you had the correct information. -Dewelar (talk) 19:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, in the past I had heard conflicting information, but now it's clear. Thanks for the help. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 20:03, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

RFA?

I know you do great work with baseball related articles, are you interested in an requests for adminship, you don't have to use the tools all the time, but it can become useful when you need them. I nominated another person from the baseball wikiproject Killervogel5 for RFA a while back and he succeeded. You have the experience do to so as well. Thanks Secret ^account 03:37, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok let me know when you are ready, and I'll gladly nominate you, btw look at the baseball wikiproject talk page about vital articles, we have a list of 45 vital articles of baseball players, we are going to try to make 42 of them FAs or GAs as soon as possible (three are already FAs, four GAs though I'm about to delist one of them). You may want to chip in with consensus on who should stay and go and focus (the whole wikiproject) on these articles for the next few months. All of them should be easy FAs. Thanks Secret ^account 03:33, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Another hint of advise, use edit summaries more. Thanks Secret ^account 03:37, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Re: Image permissions

Brian, I've received tickets from Wikipedia on 2 and I'm awaiting the 3rd and last. Noles1984 (talk) 00:04, 25 September 2010 (UTC) See: User1984/Permission

I'm sorry, what? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 00:21, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I guess my point is, can you please be more specific? What is "2"? What is "3rd and last"? --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 00:23, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I thought you would have visited my talk and knew. I understand you're busy. OK, I received 2 Wiki Permission tickets for 2 image sources. I am awaiting the 3rd Wiki permission ticket. I hope this cleared it up. Uggh... bad day here. Noles1984 (talk) 00:32, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Does this concern me? I don't mean to seem rude (I'm really not trying to be) but I don't see how it pertains to me. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 00:37, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Brian... You aren't rude. I saw your Talk Back on my discussion page and thought you were involved with image permission with MilborneOne. I now see that you are not involved by the state of confusion I put you in. Now I'm curious about the Talk Back you placed. Noles1984 (talk) 01:06, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

It was meant to alert you that I replied to you initial inquiry here, rather then on your talk page. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 01:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Image permission

I have noticed that you have removed the permission required tags of the two Sonoma State University images with the comment that permission is provided. I cant see any information about an OTRS ticket or a link to the relevant permission. I did add the tag back on one image but I have reverted myself as it is only fair to assume good faith I have asked the question about the images at Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions#Evidence_of_permission, thanks. MilborneOne (talk) 10:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I forwarded the e-mail to the proper address. I can't do any more from there. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 19:45, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

I re-sent the e-mail to the address labeled above with links to the files. --Brian Halvorsen (talk) 19:50, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
