== Wikicities! ==
Vik, two weeks ago you turned me on to Wikicities. Well, I applied for a Wiki there and they accepted my idea. Over the past two weeks, I've been creating the structure, the help files, the policies and guidelines, uploading images, and making some articles to prove as templates. 

Thanks for introducing me to Wikicities. It sure prevents a lot of headaches for me. Please come visit [http://scum.wikicities.com the site]. Look around. And if you feel so inclined, edit. High-level and low-level edits are welcomed! [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] 17:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

:Hey no problem.  I'll check it out, but I don't know anything about SCUM (what does the U stand for?) so I probably won't edit. [[User talk:Vikreykja|&#8594;]]''[[User:Vikreykja|Vik&nbsp;Reykja]]'' 07:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== [[User:Vikreykja/BaseballStub]] ==

Hi Vikreykja,

I just ran across your minor leage baseball team template while changing <nowiki>{{tl|baseball stub}}</nowiki> (which is on [[WP:SFD]]) to <nowiki>{{tl|baseball-stub}}</nowiki> in all articles that use it - the former redirects to the latter. Your template uses the non-standard form, and it would be nice if you could add the hyphen to your template. Also, I subst:ituted your template in on the two articles that still used the live template ([[Greensboro Grasshoppers]] and [[Elizabethton Twins]]), so that I could change the stub template without editing your userspace. If there is a serious reason for using transclusion in this case (I see none, but what do I know), you can revert them back once you change your template, of course. --<span style="font-family:monospace">&nbsp;[[User:Grm_wnr|grm_wnr]] </span>[[User_talk:Grm_wnr|<span style="border:1px solid;color:black;font-size:9px;padding:2px 1px 0px 1px">Esc</span>]] 20:25, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

==Left Behind==
Hiya.  You've reverted the slacktivist link off the Left Behind page at least eight times now, and it's been de-reverted by a whole variety of people.  You seem to have been careful to keep it to 3 reverts in 24 hours, but just barely - four in 25 hours on the 22nd of July.  And that rule is really there as an indicator that you've gone way over the line, not as a legalistic thing where you're A-OK as long as you don't break the letter of the law.  So maybe you could leave it to someone else to decide to revert that link off for a while, because it sure looks to me like you're basically the only one interested in doing so right now.  (As I was composing this I note you reverted my last change but left in the slacktivist link - a good sign!) [[User:Cromis|Cromis]] 02:58, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
:I'm taking it out from time to time, but leaving it in most of the time because it's on [[WP:RfC]].  It is a shame so many anonymous users want it there.  It truly is a junk link that does nothing to improve Wikipedia.  I don't care how many other articles have junk links too, I don't watch those.  I tried to be fair by removing all the op-ed links, but we couldn't have that.  We must at all costs boost some blogger's ego, no matter how shitty the content.  Sad, really.

== [[Chicago Cubs roster]] ==

Hi Vikreykja. The page you made earlier, [[Chicago Cubs roster]], was a duplicate of the already existing roster on [[Chicago Cubs]], so I made the [[Chicago Cubs roster]] space a redirect to the main article. [[User:Fernando Rizo|Fernando Rizo]] [[User_talk:Fernando Rizo|''T'']]/[[Special:Contributions/Fernando_Rizo|''C'']] 06:43, 1 August 2005 (UTC)
:I appreciate your swift attention to the Cubs article, but your redirect in this case is in error.  I'm in the process of separating all the rosters from the teams' pages.  I'm doing this so I can monitor the rosters (and keep them up to date) without having to look at the rest of the team's page; also take a look at [[MLB rosters]].

== [[New York Yankees roster]] ==
If you don't want a category for it, that's fine with me. I just think that having a category for it will be good and help people find the roster separate from the article. Categorizing the roster under "New York Yankees" shouldn't conflict with the article or category of New York Yankees.

I think that there should be some note of minor leagues on the extended roster section. Not everyone knows baseball, and some people may think that these players are active and playing for the New York Yankees. Or... we could not have the extended roster and only list the actual active players and DL to avoid confusion that way.

When it was just a section and not a "template," the team's roster had a sense of uniqueness (positions, like 2B and SP, included, no extended roster, no {player...} format), and other MLB team articles were not as thorough. People could edit the roster without trying to keep in line with the rosters of other MLB team articles, but I guess with all of the rosters in one [[MLB rosters|place]], there should be some degree of uniformity. =/ [[User:Win777|Win777]] 15:44, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

:*My problem with the category is it gets put on the [[MLB rosters]] page where it doesn't belong.  We should find a solution for this.
:*People who don't know baseball probably don't care about the rosters.  When I was first drafting the roster page format, I used "Minor leagues" instead of "Extended roster".  The reason I decided not to use the minor leagues term, is because in September they all come up and I didn't want to have to go change everything just for the one month.
:*I do think the rosters should be uniform, but they don't have to be as terse as I have made them.  I don't like the depth chart that NYY had because it doesn't make sense in some cases.  For example, when players play 3B and LF.  To solve that annoyance, I decided to keep in line with how players are grouped on mlb.com
:*When I started this, I didn't think there would be much interest.  I separated the rosters into their own articles because I couldn't care less about the Yankees, or the Brewers, etc, (I'm a Giants fan) but I do care about their rosters.  If you are interested in maintaining this with me, I think we should start a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] where we can discuss formatting and content.

Hello Vikreykja, [[User:Googie_man|Googie Man]] here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan on Wikipedian. [[User:Jimbo|Jimbo]] and [[User:Angela Beesley|Angela]] have made a new webstie 
called  [http://baseball.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page Wikicities].  This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity.  
As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create.  You've done  great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground.

I was doing some stub-sorting, and noticed your template for easily creating Minor League Baseball team stubs.  I don't want to completely undo all of the work with the template, nor do I want to edit your template, so is it possible that you can change it to tag all of the articles with <nowiki>{{tl|baseball-team-stub}}</nowiki> instead of <nowiki>{{tl|baseball-stub}}</nowiki>?

==[[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[Larry Krueger]]==
[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]]

The article [[Larry Krueger]] has been [[WP:BLPPROD|proposed for deletion]] because under Wikipedia policy, all '''[[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]]''' created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one [[WP:V#Sources|source]] that directly supports material in the article. 

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see [[Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners]] or ask at [[Wikipedia:Help desk]]. Once you have provided at least one [[WP:V#Sources|reliable source]], you may remove the {{tl|prod blp}} tag. '''Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.''' If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can {{#ifexist:Larry Krueger|request that it be undeleted|[[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request that it be undeleted]]}} when you are ready to add one.<!-- Template:ProdwarningBLP --> ''[[User:Brewcrewer|<span style="font family:Arial;color:green">brew</span>]][[Special:Contributions/Brewcrewer|<span style="font-family:Arial;color:#2E82F4">crewer</span>]] [[User talk:Brewcrewer|(yada, yada)]]'' 04:35, 28 December 2010 (UTC)

==File permission problem with File:Craps.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Craps.jpg]]'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license. 

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either 
* make a note permitting reuse under the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}'''. 

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Vikreykja}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:image use policy|image use policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|arbitration process]].

This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]].
