The image of the Great Wall you added is an image of a little kid on the Great Wall. I don't see it as a relevant image for an article about a historical site. It seems extremely odd that you would want an image of a close-up of a person on the article, when the image did not show much of the actual Great Wall at all.--Balthazarduju (talk) 04:15, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Hey - nice pics of Bailey Hall. Would it be possible to get the same photo without the people in it? Thanks dm (talk) 04:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Is it possible to formally associate categories between Wikimedia projects? For example, there is a "Cornell University buildings" category on both Wikipedia and on Commons. It would be great to be able to associate the two so that each one would link to the other.
Thanks for any assistance! --Notyourbroom (talk) 15:42, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Thanks! I was very busy for a while doing international finance (shoooooot me), working on the Obama campaign, and then applying to grad school. Now, my schedule has cleared up, I'm into grad school, and I need to something to keep my mind off of the 7 outstanding application decisions I'm still waiting to hear back on. So, from time to time, I continue to edit Wikipedia in addition to other pursuits. Check out User:Xtreambar/Nobel, which I started throwing together this morning, and Cornell University Department of History which I put together last year. In an ideal Wiki-world, I'd love most to see the List of Cornell University people cleaned-up, but my various ideas for it kept getting shot down.
Also, excellent work on the Morrill Hall article!--Xtreambar (talk) 00:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
Ah yes. The lead is somewhat wonky at the moment because I took the article from List of Nobel laureates affiliated with Princeton University and did a "replace all" for 'Princeton' with 'Cornell'. --Xtreambar (talk) 03:44, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello,
I recently tried to migrate seven images to Commons, but the CommonsHelper transfer did not work correctly. I believe there were two images which had multiple versions in their history, but in all cases, only the most recent version was actually migrated.
I was in the process of seeking support when you deleted one of the images in question: File:1971 Hangovers in Bermuda.jpg
As I understand it, part of the deletion process is that the deleter is obligated to manually confirm that all data (including past versions of the image) have been transferred properly, so I was not expecting this to be an issue, or else I would have reverted the changes the script made to the Wikipedia version of the image page.
Can the Wikipedia version of the image page be restored?

Oops, sorry! I should have entered an Edit Summary. (I have done so now, but can explain further.) I confess I'm at novice at Wiki; thanks for your gentle reminder about Edit Summaries.

Hello, NotYourBroom!
Thanks for your patience and for adding us to Cornell.
Alas, I don't think we belong on at least two of the other categories into which you added us. We are not produced nor distributed by National Public Radio or American Public Media. We are more like "Earth and Sky" or "StarDate." We are independently produced and funded by a nonprofit in Seattle. Carriage on public radio stations happens by us schlepping the show to program directors. Does this make sense? I will do a little more study about whether we would fit on the other two categories. But I believe (again, alas) that you should take us back out of those two categories.
Thanks for the thought, though! Maybe we'll get there one of these days. Ellenb127 (talk) 23:35, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
'Broom, Thanks for taking care of the categories thing. I agree with your logic. Upper-case National Public Radio is clearly that. But American public radio programs is probably ANY American public radio program. Works for me. Thanks again! Ellenb127 (talk) 01:46, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
No, I don't think it's at all inappropriate to note that Zuckerberg is from Harvard, not least because Facebook was originally created for students of that institution. The same cannot be said for Twitter, as far as I understand it. Nonetheless, I find it silly to make note of this in the leading sentence of the article. The leading line is supposed to outline the most important parts of the article's content, and I think that the institution the founder of it attended isn't so. Should we also include his birth town? Or his high school? How about the degree he studied for?
I'm afraid I just cannot see the logic in making the university that the creator of the website attended so prominent in the article and I can only see it as being a shallow way to advertise the institution. Greggers (t • c) 09:37, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Hey there, I noticed you were a little confused as to your edits in Malkin's playoff totals being reverted. Correct policy is to not update stat totals until the current season or, in this case, playoff season has ended. Orlandkurtenbach (talk) 05:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Do Detroit fans NOT call him "Ginny"? Is that NOT fact? There are many other cases around the wikipedia world where it is said that someone is called a certain name by other people. I guess I can understand being upset that I called Sydney Crosby "Cindy Crybaby" as that was just a joke, but this is simply FACT. People all over call him "Ginny", maybe you don't like it, but it is a 100% fact. If I edit Sergei Fedorov's page and say that Detroit fans call him a traitor for leaving Detroit, that is simply FACT. They do, as do people call Gino "Ginny". Don't be mad at me if people are called a certain name because of their style of play. It seems to me that you only want to report YOUR point of view on Malkin. Please, understand that Wikipedia is for FACT.....as I have learned.

Dear Notyourbroom, I do not understand your recent allegation that my edit to Cornell 100+ MPG team was "defamatory." A defamation, by definition, is untrue. My recent addition is in no way untrue. I hope it is not Wikipedia's intention to hide the truth about the Cornell 100+ MPG team's laughable engineering, which has wasted tens of thousands of dollars as well as the time and space of other, more legitimate research programs at the university. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.253.28.123 (talk) 22:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. I understand that you may wish to express some concerns regarding the Cornell 100+ MPG Team project (with which I am in no way affiliated), but Wikipedia is not the place to do this. Please see our policy on, e.g., no original research. That means no one—not me, not you, not even Jimmy Wales—can inject personal experiences or opinion into Wikipedia articles. All text added to an article must be verifiable by cited secondary sources. One proper way to add a dissenting view to an article would be to summarize a verifiable concern produced by an expert in the field (or an established journalist) and published in a reputable source, and to cite that source properly. Related to this topic, please keep in mind that Wikipedia is never to be considered a "primary source"—all information on Wikipedia must be taken from a secondary source, which makes Wikipedia a tertiary source at best.
Anything which does not meet the standards of rigor presented above may be considered to be unsubstantiated defamation and be potentially libelous, regardless of what the real facts may be. —Notyourbroom (talk) 00:07, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Don't hide the truth... Nothing seems to be wrong with these rankings. Notice how the four best schools in the Ivy League are ranked right where they should be (2, 5, 9, and 13) while the four lesser "Ivies" (including Cornell) are also ranked right where they should be (72, 83, 98, and 207). People have the right to know that Cornell received a bad ranking; let them interpret it as they choose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.24.207.43 (talk) 04:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

For your information, four University of Miami editors have started Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Racepacket. - Racepacket (talk) 11:49, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
You seem to not know which page logs the blocks placed on an account. This is Racepacket's block log, showing he has been blocked for 3 extended periods of time (the 1 second blocks are clarificaitons that would not impact Racepacket's ability to edit Wikipedia). This blank page that you linked to would list the blocks that Racepacket has performed, which is 0 because he has never been an administrator. Compare this with the pages associated with my account. This page shows the blocks I performed as an administrator, while this page shows the blocks placed on my account before I became an administrator, during the time I was an administrator (the result of a hacker getting a hold of an account), and after I became an administrator (mistakes I have made in edit warring with other users).—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 22:32, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
While I'm quite willing to give the benefit of the doubt to a user who shows any kind of intention to contribute positively, this wasn't one of them. We are under no obligation to waste our time with determined vandals who ignore clear warnings and who show no sign of understanding the purpose of the encyclopedia. I've worked with a number of problematic users who've moved past vandalism to be, if not valued contributors, at least unproblematic editors. This one may well come back in a couple of years with a new account when they have the necessary maturity to edit productively, but for now they need to stay away. An administrator whose opinion I respect (and who is a middle school teacher) occasionally gives one-year blocks to such accounts when she believes the editor just needs to grow up a little, and explains to them why she set the term as she did. I'm not aware of any who have actually come back after the year is up, but it's an interesting idea. Acroterion (talk) 12:08, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

You were correct in reverting the WSH edits to the History of Cornell article. The reference proposed for addition was not a reliable source. I have gone back and added serveral key Cornell Daily Sun articles. As originally phrased, the article implied that it was a black student vs administration dynamic. But in fact, the administration had approved funding of the Africana Studies Center months before the takeover. A key issue was the reprimands of the three black students, and only the faculty had jurisdiction over that decision. I've included the first faculty vote to uphold the reprimands and a mention of the Barton Hall Community. It is widely viewed that the 10,000 in Barton Hall was more influential than the takeover itself, which had ended the prior weekend. Feel free to review the revisions, and I hope you do not find them POV. Racepacket (talk) 16:44, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for the welcome a while ago. I'd like to ask you a question regarding a situation on a Wikipedia page that is at an impasse. The article on Aesthetic Realism was unstable and in dispute, then more than a month ago a Wikipedia officer suggested that the article needed better sourcing. A mediator also stepped in and suggested redoing the article. He/she helped with the rewriting. In the meantime the article was locked down with a single sentence intro. The rewriting was proceeding and to date there are three sections that have been rewritten using the new sources that have been accumulated. However, the mediator has disappeared and no-one can contact him/her. He/she only left an IP address. Now a person who didn't work on rewriting the paragraphs has started saying that the process is taking too long. He has put in his own version of the intro which is POV. He has done it nine times and each time it has been reverted to the one-sentence intro until the article can be rewritten based on the new sources. LoreMariano who has been a lead in the rewriting, has asked for a lock-down of the article. She also asked a third party, Ludwigs2 to be a mediator but Ludwigs2 was rejected by the same person who's been putting in his own intro. LoreMariano has also put in a Mediation Cabal. Can you tell me what is the procedure with this Mediator Cabal? Also, can you give me any advice about how to proceed? I would like to lodge a complaint about the person to the administration but I don't know the procedure. I would like the article on Aesthetic Realism to be accurate, not told from some personal point of view. Thank you for your thought about this. Nathan43 (talk) 11:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
"three completely irrelevant sources..."
I cited several independent sources for the pronunciation of 'Edinburgh' in order to prevent a dispute over the matter. They were perhaps unnecessary or incorrectly placed, but not at all irrelevant.
"...this is an article about Pittsburgh, not Edinburgh!"
Indeed. However, on the understanding that Pittsburgh was founded by a Scotsman, it seems only sensible to provide the correct pronunciation of Edinburgh as spoken by a Scotsman.
"If you want to source Edinburgh's pronunciation, do so in its own article."
I don't believe this is necessary since the correct pronunciation is well-established and known to the majority of the English speaking world. It is also provided in the Wikipedia entry for Edinburgh.

You recently edited a fact that I added to the Andrew Carnegie article. The fact I added is this: Carnegie is buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown, New York. He is buried only a few yards away from labor organizer Samuel Gompers.
Your reason for editing it was that it "needed a citation."
There is no citation for it. It's just a fact. Like the fact that John F. Kennedy is buried a few yards from his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, in Arlington National Cemetery.
There is no publication I can cite that confirms that Andrew Carnegie is buried only a few yards from Samuel Gompers. But I visited the cemetery last week. And the fact is, if you go to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Tarrytown, New York, and visit the grave of Andrew Carnegie, you only need to walk about 20 feet to the left to find the grave of Samuel Gompers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.179.46.213 (talk) 03:11, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
I would argue that information is entirely promotional, unsourcable (e.g. "Its members often hold more than half of the positions on the "25 Most Influential Undergraduates" is not going to be sourcable, "A large number of alumni in administrative positions at Cornell University have held membership" is unsourced, "Since its founding, Quill and Dagger has been well-connected with the presidents of Cornell University." is subjective and unsourcable, "Society influence appears to be strongest in the U.S. government and large corporations." is extremely promotional and unsourcable. The article does not read neutrally, and that needs to be corrected. Prodego talk 18:16, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
The standard in the Ivy League cat appears to be to include the sports team article but not the sports team cat, I'm assuming as a nod that it is technically a sports league. Cornell was backwards, the Cornell Big Red cat was under Ivy League but the Cornell Big Red article wasn't so I reversed it. Perhaps I was just shuffling what was overcategorized since they both do fall under the college cat which itself is under the league cat. Take a look a Ivy League cat and see what you think. Perhaps all the sports teams should be removed. But if they stay they should be consistent. Any thoughts are always welcomeRevelationDirect (talk) 04:41, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
This is a preemptive reply to anyone who may have mistaken my removing of the Ivy League category from several articles this evening as a malicious act. I did so to avoid overcategorization- namely, an article belonging to a certain category as well as that category's parent category. (Wikimedia Commons has an excellent explanation here.) A concrete example would be Cornell Big Red belonging both to Category:Cornell University and Category:Ivy League. It's a redundancy and causes clutter in the category.

I am associated with the Irving literary society, I am the current dean of the irving literary society. I will write to you what I did to cornell 1890. I'm having trouble understanding where you are coming from. Cmaga is an alumni of the organization. I am its current dean, not a "sock puppet." Whether in favor of it or against it, the Irving Literary Society is a historic organization. While it now does not have the same presence as it once did does not mean it is not in existence. No one is trying to self-promote and "newly formed" group. If Phi Kappa Psi is what you are trying to talk about, Phi Kappa Psi is a very old Fraternity at Cornell tracing back to the 1800's, and the Irving Literary Society operates under it. This is in no way being hidden by the article. Whether the society has a large presence on campus now is irrelevant to the descriptive historical subject of the page. It is footnoted, so if you want to contest it, you should first find the cited works and read them.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Brb72 (talk • contribs) 02:31, 30 April 2010

Thanks for the compliment when you added the excerpt from The Paris of Appalachia. People tend to forget that Pittsburgh is part of Appalachia, as is most of Western PA in general. Without question is Pittsburgh's cultural ambiguity, and I'm surprised it has gotten no mention on it at all on Wikipedia.
Sure, it can be mentioned that Ohio is a true geographic crossroads (Appalachian Ohio, Connecticut Western Reserve, Cincinnati being more like the South, etc...), but Pittsburgh is even more ambiguous. And that's what makes Pittsburgh what it is: Pittsburgh. Jgera5 (talk) 02:54, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

Notyourbroom, thank you the barnstar! I appreciate it and am glad you liked the portal so far. CrazyPaco (talk) 07:42, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Bill, thank you for the help with the vandalism on the RSCNJ article. - Darrenn (talk) 12:31, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello Notyourbroom! My name is Mono and I represent the WikiProject Desk at the Signpost. Madcoverboy tells me that you are an outstanding editor for the project, so I wanted to invite you to participate in the Signpost's upcoming report on WikiProject Universities. This is an wonderful opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. If you'd like to join in, I've posted interview questions here. Thank you! ℳono

I want to thank you...very much... for properly setting up Ezra Cornell's letter unearthed in 1997.. I had remembered it being in Hunter Rawlings commencement address of 2000(Cornell Chronicle) but didn't go any further with it..I first posted it on "History of Cornell" but when it was removed by "Racepacket" I moved it to the main Cornell University article.. I see that it is now properly on both! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.182.124.125 (talk) 15:03, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
After reading your message to Conk 9, I realized that I wasn't the first person who had tried to clear up that mess, so I have requested reinforcements from WP:ANI. I would appreciate your thoughts there.--GrapedApe (talk) 14:34, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello NotYourBroom, Someone from an anonymous IP address has been changing content on the Beauty entry and making it nonsensical. He/She has also done the same on the talk page. Is there anything I can do about this other than simply reverting the edit each time? Thanks a lot. Hope you got to Assateague Island this summer! Nathan43 (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Notyourbroom. I'd like to thank you for participating in The Signpost's interview of WikiProject Universities. Your time helped make it a success. Althought the report will be published soon, feel free to take a look here. Once again, thanks for stopping by. I look forward to publishing the report.

Regarding your comment,here: To be clear, I was not insisting that the Autotune guys themselves were one-hit wonders, nor that their subjects were. Rather, that one-hit wonders in general were sufficiently notable so as to warrant articles of their own. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:40, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

You could also edit the article yourself, you know, rather than just adding templates. (In regards to the West Penn article.) Wm.C (talk) 06:07, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for your edit. My concern was that the article repeatedly discusses the status of Cornell, using words like "private", "hybrid", "mostly private" etc. It is a very complicated subject, that probably does not belong in the lead sentence. Most people worry about tuition levels and stability of state funding when selecting between private and public universities. Although technically 'private,' that one word in the lead may confuse readers or mislead them into drawing conclusions on the matters that concern them. Further thoughts?

After complimenting you on such a good job with Ezra Cornell's letter unearthed from the cornerstone of Sage Hall, I find that reference to one of the most important events in the history of the Cornell university disappeared from the main Wikipedia Cornell article..What's going on here..Are you a Cornell alum? I am convinced it should be a cornerstone of the main article on Cornell University! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.182.97.189 (talk) 13:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

I have moved "The Irving Literary Society (Cornell University)" to "Cornell literary societies". Perhaps you can help beef up the article. Racepacket (talk) 22:40, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
A discussion has begun about whether the article The Irving Literary Society, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

Just a note that one of your edits to Cornell University seems to have caused massive duplication of content, some of which went undetected for several days. We're working on fixing it, but please be careful in the future. —Bill Price (nyb) 23:00, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
In the Dodson case the use of the word allege clearly suggests that Dodson lied - instead of the purpose of protecting someone from being undeservedly slandered it runs the risk of doing the opposite. There is no good reason outside of avoiding to presume guilt before it is proven to use "alleged". If there are reliable sources that express doubt about the veracity of the event then those should be included - but still using alleged would be unnecessary and unadvisable - a better strategy would be simply to describe the facts: someone called the cops saying an intrusion had happened, news came and interviewed, he gave his accont, x contradicted dodson's version by saying y. Alleged is not needed here and falls under words to avoid.·Maunus·ƛ· 18:56, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

I just read your user page. Did you know the Flansburgh family while you were at Cornell? Racepacket (talk) 04:14, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
The GA failed in part due to close paraphrasing a Cornell press release. I am disappointed. Perhaps you might want to take over the leadership of getting this article to GA? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 15:43, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
I wanted to express my appreciation for your comments to Montanabw regarding reversion. While I was a subject of that editor's dismissive reversion myself, the bigger concern I had was that which you alluded to, maintaining a healthy population of contributing editors. I was motivated just recently to comment on WP:ROWN to that effect, actually, because of the importance of the issue. Never waste volunteer contribution, after all. ENeville (talk) 21:09, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
I believe it's an increasingly common (mis)conception that all of Allegheny County is "Pittsburgh." It seems to me that you're a long time resident of the area, and probably fiercely recognize and differentiate every single neighborhood and surrounding borough. However I feel that there is a trend of thinking that the metro-area of Allegheny County and some 1.5 million people is "Pittsburgh" just as much as the City. And it is one that is gaining a lot of momentum in recent years, given all of the serious talk of a County-City merger at the government level. Just google "pittsburgh allegheny county merger" and you'll see hits anywhere from 2003 to 2009 where the topic is seriously considered. And honestly as this trend continues, this change may have to be something seriously discussed within the City article. --Csoldner187 (talk) 02:05, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Namaste, Notyourbroom,
First of all, I'm a Cornell alumn and former staff member so I sure would appreciate some help from a past Cornellian.
A photo that I loaded to my page was deleted by you for copyright issues. The thing is, I have permission to use the photo from the photographer. She authorized use via an e-mail to me. I thought I cited that when I uploaded the photo but it was still taken down. The photographer does not have a Wiki account, nor does she want to get into it. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can post it without having it deleted afterward? And when I have to select from the various copyright options, which one would I choose?
My last question is one that I'm a tad embarrassed to ask. Once I get the photo issue resolved and add a bit more text, how do I actually launch the page?
Thanks for your time. WhysosiriusWhysosirius (talk) 14:15, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Hi NYB, seeing as how you got drug into this initially, just an FYI that ENeville still is mad at me over that revert I did over a month ago. I've tried reason, negotiation, and humor and he still will not let it drop. I really am tired of this but seem unable to end the thing. I just tried an(other) apology but I'm sure that will not be enough, either. You can check out my latest response to him at his talk page or his comments on mine (which I have not removed yet, but probably will eventually). I want him to stay off mine. I am totally done with this thing and consider his continued not-getting-over-it to be harassment. I have no idea if you have any influence here, but ENeville seems to count you as his supporter, so I'm taking this to you in hopes that some sort of closure is doable.

Hi! Since you're a member of WikiProject Pittsburgh, I wanted to invite you to the Wikipedia Tenth Anniversary celebrations we're having in Pittsburgh on Saturday, January 15. During the daytime, we're going to be having a photo contribution drive where anyone can bring in their digital photos or prints and Wikipedians will teach people how to upload them and add them to articles, and maybe introduction to Wikipedia workshops as well. Then in the evening, we'll have fun at the Carson City Saloon. There will be free Wikipedia t-shirts and other goodies, as well. See the Pittsburgh meetup page for more details.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of Nobel laureates affiliated with Cornell University is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Nobel laureates affiliated with Cornell University until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. --Orlady (talk) 23:55, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for metioning Portal 2 in this article - I thought it was the same song. I have put a note at the top of the article to try and stop other users from making this mistake as I can see from the edit history that I'm not the only one. It might be worth adding a short song sample (I think you are allowed to add a short snippet of a song) to further distinguish the 2 songs. Oddbodz (talk) 20:26, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh is rolling out some new features (see our discussions at WT:PITTSBURGH). We are also trying to determine how many members are active, and interested in contributing to Pittsburgh content or coming to our real life meetups to discuss Wikipedia in general. If you could go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh/Members and move your name from inactive to the active or semi-active group (depending on your interest in Pittsburgh issue and overall activity) groups, this would be great.

On 26 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Fort Pitt Blockhouse, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Fort Pitt Blockhouse in downtown Pittsburgh was the only portion of Fort Pitt saved from demolition in 1797? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Since you are a member of the Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Pittsburgh, I'd like to invite you to the Teaching with Wikipedia Workshop that will take place at CMU on Aug 15 (this workshop is open to general public, and is a joint imitative of CMU and Pitt). There will be another workshop held at Pitt in the Fall as well. It will cover how to include Wikipedia in one's course (WP:SUP) and also how to become a Wikipedia:Campus Ambassadors. Pennsylvania has currently only one ambassador (myself) and it would be great if we could recruit at least several more. Ambassadors help course instructors, showing them how Wikipedia works, and interact with students. Many current ambassadors come from the body of students, faculty and university staff; it is a fun adventure, and adds to one resume/CV, to boot :) If it sounds interesting, feel free to ask me any questions, or to come to the workshop. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 19:33, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey Notyourbroom,
I'm wondering whether the main Art & Science article should be "Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences", per their new website and new logo and style guide.
According to that style guide, "Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is the school’s full name and should be used on first reference in all communications. The shorter names Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences and Dietrich School can be used upon second reference."
Using the shorter forms would follow the Wikipedia article naming conventions employed for the Swanson School of Engineering and the Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences according to WP:COMMONNAME. I'm not really concerned either way, as redirects from either to the other would be appropriate. But what are your thoughts on the primary article title? CrazyPaco (talk) 03:28, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
Look, you're right. I wasn't assuming good faith. It gets hard at times (when nearly everything you attempt to do ends up being a lot of work and a deleted page). Honestly, I'm just trying to help things out, the categories are all over the place (and a lot of them are duplicated) I've only just now started to get things in a semblance of order. Sorry to snap at you and be rude. I also read your statement in a way that sounded as if you didn't care what exactly was in the category and only glanced at it and decided it was worth deleting. I spent quite a few hours on this today and I will admit that I did jump to conclusions. I see this a lot though, people often nominate without trying to understand/communicate with the author. Regardless, I truly am sorry. Ncboy2010 (talk) 23:14, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi-
I am the director of the Office of Web Communications at Cornell and President Skorton has indicated that there are several changes that he would like made to his page. In the past, changes that my office has made on his behalf have been reverted because they were seen as spin or otherwise PR-related materials.
I am interested in opening a dialogue to work toward a compromise so that President Skorton's page is accurate and to his approval; might you have any suggestions as to how we can best accomplish this? I realize that you do not have ultimate control over the page, but you are listed as the individual who has made the most changes, so I thought it would be a productive place to start.
Please let me know how we can work together?

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Allegheny City Central. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Central Northside (Pittsburgh). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Central Northside (Pittsburgh) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Vacation9 (talk) 01:34, 26 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi Notyourbroom, you recently removed a deletion tag from Allegheny City Central. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 01:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

The article Antoine Dodson has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. - Notability isn't temporary but in the past 3 years, I think a BIO:1E has emerged.

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 Wikipedia 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.

Hello Notyourbroom,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kentucky American Water for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!
