Alex Padilla

Gosh, this page is so clean I hate to mess it up. What's the story with Alex Padilla? It looks to me like someone is trying to fill it with negative info. Listing the endorsements that he didn't get seems odd, and using blogs as sources is generally avoided. But I noticed you restored all of that. Was there a reason that I am missing? Cheers, -Will Beback 19:10, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that keeping the negative assertions is a good solution, especially those that use non-reliable sources. I personally think it is better to say too little than too much. I'll take a closer look at it next week. Cheers, -Will Beback 19:16, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Californiapostcard.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Californiapostcard.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

History of California

I noticed that user:GeorgeLouis did a major "trimming" of History of California. It was too long, IMO, and I'm glad someone did. His edits appeared reasonable to me, but another set of eyes would be helpful to make sure we didn't lose any key points or links. Would you mind? Here's the overall diff:[1].

The reason for the nomination is that the image is made redundant by a PNG version of the same image, uploaded by Sarge Baldy (talk · contribs) about a month earlier. 66.167.138.249 03:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC).[reply]

American people

why shouldn't American people be a subcategory of 'History of the United States'? I added it because most of the information in the people articles is historical and it helps to give a more complete perspective of American history--not just events, but the people in them also.

HPV

Hey - thanks for the good edits (and note) re: Human papillomavirus. I'm still pretty new to the Wikipedia. I was inspired to join when I discovered that my favorite virus family had nothing but a stub. (!)

What's your thinking on having the HPV16 genome map in the Taxbox? I feel like the genome map is not directly telling about taxonomy. But more importantly, I'm worried about blasting people with too much molecular biology up at the top of the page. I'm betting most people just want to know about abnormal pap smears, skin warts and the like. And they might not really connect with the genetic organization of the virus. Maybe put the PapillomavirusCapsid.jpg image in the Taxbox and move the HPV16 genome map down to a lower section?

Several non-scientist friends have opined that Papillomavirus was over-the-top technical in its first de-stubified incarnation. Hence my worry about the having the HPV16 genome map in the Taxbox. I think my brother put it that he learned a lot from Papillomavirus, but doing so involved significant struggle and clicking lots of hyperlinks. So I took the tact of corralling the hard technical stuff at the end. I also tried to simplify the language in some of the other sections. Any thoughts? I feel reluctant to pare away whole topics that had originally been covered in Human papillomavirus. Retroid 16:11, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Map ifroefell imgmap.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Map ifroefell imgmap.gif. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Posadas, Wikipedia Integration, etc...

Greetings. I came across you thanks to the edit log at Posadas. I actually was hoping you could go back & look at an attempt I made to merge in a duplicate article that had additional content. Also looking at your profile and website, I wanted your opinion on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Integration: you appear to be non-commital to the factions, and your input as such would be welcome.

And yes, I'm guilty of the subjects-in-titles Subject matter in South Park. Have any better ways around it?

WikiProject Academy Awards

A while ago (February 25, 2004 to be exact) you created a WikiProject. Since then, that little project has been all-but forgotten. Yesterday, however, while I was trying to figure out the exact formatting to use for the 33rd Academy Awards, I stumbled upon the project. I saw it was inactive, but I decided to tidy it up a bit. It was as if I had stumbled upon an abandoned house in the middle of the woods and pushed in the chairs. Someone else saw this and decided the WikiProject was no longer abandoned. Feeling a sense of duty, I tidied up the project, created a project template, and branded Academy Awards articles. The central problem to this is that I'm not the one who built this house -- you are. The project is coming back to life...will you join it? --Miguel Cervantes 02:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Californiagoldrush.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Californiagoldrush.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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:Fair use, 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Northern Los Angeles/ Central Los Angeles Articles

I would see the point in the deletion of the articles if they referred to place names like West LA or South LA, which granted, don't exist for these two, but rather they referred to regions which imply a directional outlook (north, south, west, east) NOT a place name of popular reference designated to an area. As such, the regions in question simply specify which districts are located on a north, south, west, east subsections of the city, not to specific "official" districts or administratative divisions. For example, the article northern los angeles was created as a descriptive article for group of districts that are located north of what is considered "main Los Angeles," a place name recognition that does exist, especially since these areas do not completely correspond to what people often call them as a group, "the San Fernando Valley" - some of these are actually in the Crescenta Valley as well. Nor was the article the product of "original research" as almost all of what was written in those articles can be verified by use of the Los Angeles Almanac and other sources.

1964 New York World's Fair

Hi, Jengod. Regarding this edit, I think the original category of Category:1964 might actually be a better option than Category:1964 in the United States.
