[edit] 1960 New York air disaster crash in Park Slope

Hi Anna. According to Pillar of Fire by Nathaniel Altman in the Park Slope Reader, the plane split and crashed around 122 and 126 Sterling Place, just below the corner of 7th Ave. I saw you put it at 8th Ave, so I changed it back to 7th to reflect the source. Best regards, --Howrealisreal 15:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Really? I thought it was Eighth, but I could be wrong.  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 15:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.. Well let me know if you find a source for that. I'll be interested to give it a look. Take care. --Howrealisreal 15:47, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] changes

Hi Anna, we're sorry to bug you but in fact I was showing a friend how quickly even minor changes to Wikipedia get edited. I was doing it to prove how effective the peer-editing system is though, forgive? Your quick change (less than 5 minutes, bravo) was an awesome example. We were wondering, how did you know notice my change so quickly? Were you just browsing around? Best, J0E

Hi, JOE. The English language article is on my Watchlist, a feature that comes along with a Wikipedia account. Basically, you can "watch" pages that you're interested in; by clicking a particular link you can see any changes made recently to the pages you've so bookmarked. There's no minimum, and I don't think there's a maximum (I'm pushing 300). And thanks for noticing the reverts.  — AnnaKucsma   (Talk to me!) 17:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

I apologize if this is canvassing, but you recently edited Grand Army Plaza-Prospect Park (IRT Eastern Parkway Line). You might be interested in or have something to contribute to Talk:Grand Army Plaza-Prospect Park (IRT Eastern Parkway Line)#Requested move. --NE2 16:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Looking after Witchcraft

Many thanks for the speedy reversions of nonsense or vandalism (whatever it was...) affecting this article! Kim dent brown 21:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link trimming at Grand Army Plaza

You're a recent contributor to this article; I'm proposing trimming some of the linkage in the lead, with the discussion here. Also, any other comment on the article's composition, and areas of improvement you may care to entertain. Thank you for your help. Take care! Gosgood 16:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh cool--thanks! Asbruckman 16:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Manual of Style (national varieties of English)

Hello, I'm contacting you because you have contributed to Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (national varieties of English) User:Kevin Murray has called the page a "rejected proposal", but that can be reversed. I think the page might need to have the general guidelines rather than just examples. I've started a draft at User:Joeldl/Varieties of English Draft. Let me know what you think.

[edit] Wikipedia New York Meet-Up

[edit] King Arthur project collaboration

The King Arthur Project has begun a collaboration to bring its main article, King Arthur, to WP:FA status. If you wish to contribute, please review the to-do list on its talk page. Let's make this article an FA! Wrad 03:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of people who have appeared on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'s "Not My Job" segment

Hello, AnnaKucsma. I've just nominated a page you've created, List of people who have appeared on Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'s "Not My Job" segment, for deletion (the nomination page is here). The list was created back in August 2006. Feel free to add any comments to the nomination page; your opinion regarding the matter is appreciated.

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Blackwater (Altan album).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blackwater (Altan album).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

[edit] AnnaKucsma's note for the above two entries

See also, Wikipedia:Non-free content#Acceptable images

Text for rationale:

=== Fair use in [[album article reference here]] ===
Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:
# It is a low resolution image of an album cover.
# It does not limit the image owner's rights to sell the album.
# Copies of the image could not be used to make illegal copies of the album.
# It is used to illustrate an article about the album for which this image is the cover art.

[edit] WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5

The Biography WikiProject Newsletter
Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007
Project News
  • The three-month long Summer Assessment Drive, organized by Psychless, was a huge success! It ran from June 1 – September 1, and reduced the backlog of unassessed articles from 113,385 to 56,237. In all, over 100,000 articles were assessed. Over 60 people contributed in some way.
  • A barnstar has been created for exceptional work on Wikipedia biographies and for assisting the project. The Biography Barnstar is listed with the other WikiProject awards and can be awarded easily with a template. See the template page for more details.

Congratulations to our 225 new members
From the Editors

The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below)

We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future.

This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page

New irc channel

Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network:

#wikipedia-en-bio

Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

[edit] Banners on Talk:Bill O'Reilly (commentator)

Your 'clean-up' of banners on Talk:Bill O'Reilly (commentator) appears to have had the effect of causing some of these project banners to be inaccessible and this article to drop off the lists of the affected projects (though the code for them is still there). Could you please repair this. Thanks. HrafnTalkStalk 07:18, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Fixed it.  — AnnaKucsma  Speak! 22:47, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unlimited time offer (probably)

Hello Anna. I don't know if you've seen any mention of it, but the Wikipedia:Rollback feature is being given on request to all editors. Basically it reverts all the edits by an editor to the last version by someone else with one click and is useful for reverting vandalism, much faster than undo or Twinkle or the like. The ghastly details are on the page I linked to. Would you like me to enable it for you? Happy New Year, Angus McLellan (Talk) 21:59, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for asking. I'll take a look at it when I'm not technically on the clock.  — AnnaKucsma  Speak! 22:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Textile Arts newsletter

Hello again, this month's textile arts newsletter highlights the expansion of top-importance knitting and good article candidacy for Palestinian costumes. We've had several more new articles appear at Template:Did you know and other exciting developments. Regards, DurovaCharge! 23:33, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nesting banners

Please refrain from nesting banners as you have done on Dan Allen (gambler) and Augustus Kountze. There is no value to nesting other than cluttering the page, which is against the very purpose of the Template:WikiProject Banners. • Freechild'sup? 19:27, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fit_as_a_Fiddle.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Fit_as_a_Fiddle.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. Rockfang (talk) 15:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your editing data!

You may be interested to know that your editing patterns have been used as a sort of baseline in a sock puppet investigation. I hope you don't mind. Cool Hand Luke 05:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Can I borrow your Flickr Pro account?

I think we'll need a Flickr Pro account for our Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan project, which will require a large number of uploads. It would be great if we could borrow yours for a bit. If you want to find out if I'm a trustworthy person, see my User:Pharos page and my organization of the Wikimedia New York City chapter.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:A Compilation.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A Compilation.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:07, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bio infoboxes discouraged for all classical composers and artists including singers/Talk:Gerhard Hüsch

Hi. I wonder if you could leave off 'needs-infobox=yes' fields on the Biography Project banner when you are dealing with opera singers etc. as there are project guidelines against their use, see Wikipedia:WikiProject Opera#Infoboxes. Thanks. Best regards. --Kleinzach (talk) 01:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem. I'll try to keep that in mind in the future.  — AnnaKucsma  Speak! 13:31, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New Project

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.

If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 02:57, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Listas

[1] What's that all about? Haukur (talk) 20:04, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

The "Listas" parameter is used to sort biography articles by their subjects' family names. In this example, so that the article shows up in the B's (under Bonne-Carrere), rather than in the G's (under Guillaume). It can also be used to sort articles correctly where the family name doesn't come at the end of the name (as in this example), or where the article title contains a disambiguation (as in this example).  — AnnaKucsma  Speak! 20:12, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Okay, but not everyone has a family name (I don't). Don't apply it indiscriminately. Haukur (talk) 20:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I try not to use it "indiscriminately", but there are always some cases that will trip up anyone. (Really, there is no such thing as infallible on Wikipedia -- but that's beside the point.) If I was incorrect in the case you mentioned (or any other case), you can always correct the order.  — AnnaKucsma  Speak! 20:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
All right. But watch out for Icelandic, Malaysian, Habesha and medieval names. You are probably already aware of issues with Chinese, Korean and Japanese names. Someone named "A B" should by no means always be sorted as "B, A". Haukur (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Gurwitsch

Thanks for noting this page. I wonder if I can interest you also in Hans Spemann, Ross Granville Harrison, Hans Driesch, Harold Saxton Burr and Paul Alfred Weiss, all other bios of early 20C life scientists I've recently brought from stub to start. As a newish editor I'd appreciate your comments and help making sure all categories and links are included, and receiving scientific review. Redheylin (talk) 02:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
