Thanks for catching the little mistake of forgetting to mention where we performed for District Festival, though just out of curiosity, were you actually there during Festival, because there were a bunch of good groups, besides us there....oh and as a little fact, I've also worked to make sure my school, Lake Braddock Secondary School, as well as creating the article for Lake Braddock Orchestras, and making sure that both have the most accurate information, though the orchestra one is lacking a history that I've not compiled yet, though the main school article is slightly more together. At least I know I'm not alone with making sure that the schools in my county (at least my school) are correctly represented in the wikipedia.

Thanks for taking my photograph of tower block demolition off the Demolition article (it was the original photo on the article),

don't worry about it so long as you can put your own pictures on that add absolutely nothing to the article, one is the same as one that is already there, the other one is pointless. Mick Knapton 19:55, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

== Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot ==

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:36, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading :Image:Leko.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:08, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

The Source Four PAR is different from the PARNel, which is meant to be an alternative to fresnels (hence it's name). Also, could you look at the article I just created for the Source Four. I'm new to creating articles, and am not sure if it what is needed on wikipedia JWGreen 04:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

I made an account. :) I do attend centreville hs and normally would try and make edits so the article would flow better... is that alright? A few of the edits from this computer are from my dad as well so I haven't made them all. I haven't really done much in while, except for one edit, so your message was a surprise... Also, I hope this is where I'm supposed to reply... I'm still trying to figure this site out. o.O

Thanks for uploading :Image:CVHSconstruction.jpg. 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.

Heya, so I'm working on adding assesments to the stagecraft banner and I've created a bunch of categories but they somehow aren't the same as the ones listed on the talk pages for items with the banner. I can't figure out why this is and I was just wondering if you could take a look and see as I'm stumped. Thanks a bunch! Lekogm 19:48, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Um the pin rail is actually up on that jump. It's permanent to the building. Those drops were actually rigged to the mini-stage for that show and the actors ran them. The shoew bag is actually a very common thing. Actors come and get there mics when they're ready and they put them back when they're done. It helps save time on preshow and makes them take responsibility for themselves. For that show I had about 23 radios. We used Sennheiser SK2012s, SK50s, and SK5012s. The most intereference I had in the space was from a local tv station. As for feedback... don't run them so hot. :) As for the pictures, I plan on adding them to articles as soon as I figure out sizes and which ones would benefit from them. Speaking of images, I made an images subpage on the project page. Can you list what images you have there? --Lekogm 19:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your input on the Artices for Deletion pages of schools. I am also a member of the Wikiproject:Schools. It is nice to know that there are wikipedians out there who share the same views as myself. I have been working utterlessly ever since I was brought into this discussion because of my own article. It is still up for deletion, but I have been working to both improve the article to assert the "notability" requested of the users. I also noticed your articles after going around to try to support articles that have original research or have sources that they could derive from. Hopefully our work now will set a precedent so that every single article introduced into wikipedia is ripped apart and criticized by users whose only goal is deletion through an unwarranted and irrational manner.

Thank You, Once Again.

Respectfully Yours,

Hello! I edited :Image:Cars skidding.jpg into :Image:Cars skidding edit.jpg. Do you mind if I put the edited version into February 2007 North America winter storm? I hope that it's not too far from the original. Thanks! Gracenotes^T § 04:03, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

::I re-edited the images that you listed on my talk page, and I hope that they're still ok :) I was a little worried about :Image:UMESgrindstone.png, because I didn't know the color of the grindstone (was it gray? was the engraved stone gray, blue, etc.?). If you have any comments, please leave a note on my talk page. Happy editing, Gracenotes^T § 19:28, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I have seen that I am not the only one whose pages have been removed. I find it interesting too that the Fairfax County Middle School pages remain while Loudoun County ones are either all deleted or merged. In short, do you think something fishy is occurring with these users who are more used to deleting pages than editing them?20176 00:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I assert to have voted for 1 in the Commons POTY 2006 thing. KeepOnTruckin ^{Complain to me | my work here} 23:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I've commented out the addition of :Image:BR180.JPG in Winter service vehicle for a number of reasons:

1. There is already an image of a snow groomer in the article, which was taken in better lighting and higher resolution.
2. As there are two images in one short section, the lower image is shunted into the section below; indeed, at high resolutions (1280 by 1024), it looks like the lower image is in fact part of the snow melter section.
3. The snow groomer is covered in snow, which makes the unit hard to pick out.
4. The contrast and lighting of the image is very poor, as all the light is diffused by the clouds (a condition known as whiteout.
5. The image suffers from major motion blur and pixellation.
6. The extra image doesn't add any extra information to the article.

I'm willing to discuss changes to the article, but as it is currently undergoing an WP:FAC here, it's best to keep it relatively stable. Laïka 15:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, KeepOnTruckin. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (:Image:CVHSconstruction.jpg) was found at the following location: User:KeepOnTruckin/Photos. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with :Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 23:24, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in :Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:08, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I've just got my hands on a couple of good books about the subject, and there seem to be a lot more good photos about than there were 6 months ago, so I've just been adding stuff to it (did you by any chance see it bobbing around your watchlist recently or something?).

Sorry, don't want to sound alarmist, but user:Arthurrh has proposed eight FCPS Middle Schools for AfD here. They were all listed separately, so you'll have to dig to find some. Another headsup: Rachel Carson Middle School, which previously survived AfD is up again. user:Arthurrh feels that the Middle schools should be completely deleted, even though there is precedent for non-notable elementary schools to be merged on to their separate page ala Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Clifton Elementary School (Clifton, Virginia).

Thank you for uploading :Image:CVille Logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 00:08, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

== Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 4 ==

Please note that there is a DC Meetup planned for May 17th at 5:00 p.m., though a place has not yet been set. You're receiving this notice because you posted to the page for the prior meetup - Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 3 - but haven't indicated whether or not you're interested in attending this one. (Apologies if in fact you have.) BetacommandBot (talk) 01:07, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

25px Thanks for uploading :Image:CVille Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I was involved with the theater at MHS for 4 years and the shelter entrance is in the prop room backstage, 10-15 feet from the door, set into the floor, against the left hand wall. And yes, I do seem to remember a fallout sign above it. As of 1989 is wasn't kept locked, although I'm sure that has changed since. They've probably welded it shut by now.

Hope this helps.

Hi KeepOnTruckin, I opened a request to move engineering vehicle to heavy equipment, the later being I think the correct common name of this category of thing and the former made up and incorrect. Someone has replied by disagreeing, naturally. A wave of opinion may be needed to overcome the inertia of the old made up name. Could you please voice your opinion on this at the bottom of this section of the talk page: Talk:Engineering vehicle#Proposed Move? Thanks! --Roger Chrisman (talk) 18:49, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to :File:CVHSconstruction.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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:42, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
