Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem

Patriarch Theophilos III of Jerusalem (Πατριάρχης Ιεροσολύμων Θεόφιλος Γ'; غبطة بطريرك المدينة المقدسة اورشليم وسائر أعمال فلسطين كيريوس كيريوس ثيوفيلوس الثالث; הפטריארך תיאופילוס השלישי של עיר הקודש ירושלים וכל ישראל; born 4 April 1952) is the current Patriarch of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem since 2005. He is styled "Patriarch of the Holy City of Jerusalem and all Palestine and Israel."

Theophilos (also spelled Theofilos or Theophilus) was elected unanimously on 22 August 2005 by the Holy Synod of Jerusalem as the 141st primate of the Orthodox Church of Jerusalem to succeed the deposed Irenaios. His election was confirmed by the Eastern Orthodox synod of Constantinople, and was endorsed by Jordan on 24 September 2005, and subsequently by the Palestinian National Authority, two of the governments ruling lands over his religious jurisdiction. He was enthroned on 22 November 2005, despite initial Israeli objection to the ousting of Irenaios. The Israeli government officially recognised Theophilos' election on 16 December 2007.

Prior to becoming Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos was the Eastern Orthodox Archbishop of Tabor.

Biography
Theophilos was born Ilias Giannopoulos (Ηλίας Γιαννόπουλος, إلياس يانوبولوس) in Gargalianoi, Messenia, Greece, on 4 April 1952 to parents Panagiotes and Triseugenia. In 1964, Ilias moved to Jerusalem.

He served as archdeacon for then-patriarch Benedict I of Jerusalem. From 1991 to 1996, he was a priest in Kafr Kanna in Galilee, which had a predominantly Israeli Arab Christian community, there he also formed a brotherhood called "Nour al Masih" ("Light of Christ"), to spread the Orthodox Christian faith throughout the region; the group is still active and runs a website under the domain www.lightchrist.org.

Theophilos studied theology at the University of Athens. He went on to complete an MA from Durham University, graduating in 1984 as a member of Castle. He has also studied at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Besides his native Greek, he also speaks English, Arabic and Hebrew.

In 1996, he was one of the first Christian clergymen in centuries to go work in the closed Wahhabi Islamic society of Qatar, where many Palestinian migrant workers live today, a considerable number of them Orthodox Christians. He subsequently served as Exarch of the Holy Sepulchre in Qatar.

From 2000 to 2003, he was church envoy to the Patriarchate of Moscow.

In February 2005, he was consecrated Archbishop of Tabor.

He was officially enthroned as Patriarch of Jerusalem and All Palestine on November 22, 2005. Delegates from all of the Orthodox Churches as well as high secular dignitaries were in attendance, including the President of Greece, and senior officials representing the governments of Palestinian National Authority, Jordan and Qatar, as well as diplomats and military officials.

Upon his election, Theophilos said: "In the last few months, we have had a lot of problems, but with the help of God we will overcome them."

US Open Series

The US Open Series is the name given by the United States Tennis Association (USTA) to a series of North American professional tennis tournaments leading up to and including the US Open. It is part of the "North American hard court season". Emirates sponsored the series in the past, under a deal in place from 2012 to 2016. The series was initially organized in 2004 as a way to focus more attention on American tennis tournaments by getting more of them on domestic television. Until 2004, most summer North American tournaments were not on television, the exceptions being the prominent ATP Tour Masters 1000 events in Canada and Cincinnati. Since the inception of the series, Rafael Nadal is the only tennis player to win Canada, Cincinnati, and the US Open in a calendar year (2013), a feat referred to as the "Summer Slam" or the "North American Hardcourt Slam".

Under the US Open's broadcast rights, ESPN held domestic rights to all US Open Series events from 2015 to 2019. The eight non-Masters tournaments receive about 50 hours of television combined – about two hours on each day of their final weekends, chiefly on ESPN2. The dual-gender Washington D.C. Citi Open (the only ATP 500-level tournament in North America), which had been a part of the series since its 2004 founding, withdrew from the series for its 2015 edition due to frustrations over this lack of coverage; that tournament sold its exclusive coverage to Tennis Channel. The tournament re-joined the US Open Series in 2019. Since 2017, Tennis Channel broadcasts the US Open Series.

Bonus Challenge
Players earn points for the US Open Series Bonus Challenge in order to win a bonus on top of the individual series tournaments' prize money, according to their results in these events. More points are awarded at some of the events, such as the ATP World Tour Masters 1000 and WTA Premier 5 events. The three male and three female players with the most points in the US Open Series Bonus Challenge earn a money purse. The amount depends on their US Open Series placement and US Open result. If both are won then the bonus is $1 million as of 2010. Lleyton Hewitt and Lindsay Davenport were the top point-getters in 2004, Andy Roddick and Kim Clijsters won in 2005, and Andy Roddick and Ana Ivanovic won in 2006. Defending US Open champions Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova won in 2007. In 2005, whereas Roddick was upset in the first round against Gilles Müller at the Open, Clijsters became the first player to win both the US Open Series and the US Open, receiving $2.2 million, at the time the largest payday in women's sports. Clijsters defeated Frenchwoman Mary Pierce in straight sets: 6–3, 6–1. In 2010 she won $2.2 million again, this time $1.7 million for the US Open title and $500,000 in bonus for second place in the US Open Series. In 2007, Federer became the first male player and the second player overall to win the US Open Series and go on to win the US Open, winning $1.4 million plus the US Open Series bonus of $1 million, bringing his prize winning total to $2.4 million. This topped Clijsters' $2.2 million as the biggest US Open payday to date. In 2013, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal both won the US Open after also winning the US Open Series. Due to several considerable prize money increments over the years, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal surpassed Roger Federer's Us Open series payday record by winning $3.6 million each, and they shared the record for the largest prize money paycheck in tennis history for a single tennis tournament. In 2014, Serena Williams would repeat her previous year performance in winning both the US Open Series and the US Open. She now stands alone in the record for the biggest payday in tennis history, with a total amount of $4 million. Starting from 2017, the US Open Series will not feature a Bonus Challenge.

So, we'll go no more a roving

"So, we'll go no more a roving" is a poem, written by (George Gordon) Lord Byron (1788–1824), and included in a letter to Thomas Moore on 28 February 1817. Moore published the poem in 1830 as part of Letters and Journals of Lord Byron.

It evocatively describes how the youth at that time wanted to do something different. Byron wrote the poem at the age of twenty-nine. In the letter to Thomas Moore, the poem is preceded by an account of its genesis:
 * At present, I am on the invalid regimen myself. The Carnival—that is, the latter part of it, and sitting up late o' nights—had knocked me up a little. But it is over—and it is now Lent, with all its abstinence and sacred music... Though I did not dissipate much upon the whole, yet I find 'the sword wearing out the scabbard,' though I have just turned the corner of twenty-nine.

The poem may have been suggested in part by the refrain of a Scottish song known as "The Jolly Beggar". "The Jolly Beggar" was published in Herd's Scottish Songs in 1776, decades before Byron's letter, with this refrain:

"And we'll gang nae mair a roving  Sae late into the night, And we'll gang nae mair a roving, boys,    Let the moon shine ne'er sae bright. And we'll gang nae mair a roving."

The poem appears as "Go No More A-Roving" on the 2004 Leonard Cohen album Dear Heather. It was also recorded by Joan Baez on her 1964 Joan Baez/5 album, and by Mike Westbrook on his 1998 album The Orchestra of Smith's Academy. Richard Dyer-Bennet recorded his own setting, with slightly altered text, on the 1955 album Richard Dyer-Bennet 1. The poem also appears on the Marianne Faithfull and Warren Ellis album She Walks in Beauty. The poem is also a centerpiece of "—And the Moon be Still as Bright" from Ray Bradbury's fix-up The Martian Chronicles. A reading of the Poem is performed partially as the first verse, and completely as the final verse, in the cover of AC/DC's "For those about to Rock" by TISM.

The poem serves as a basis for the chorus of the song "The Jolly Beggar" as recorded by the traditional Irish band Planxty, as well as the basis for the love leitmotif in Patrick Doyle's score for the film Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, where it is fully realized in the track "The Wedding Night". The poem is also featured in John Wyndham's post-apocalyptic novel The Day of the Triffids, where it occurs when a blinded pianist commits suicide.

The first line is a sub-theme to the "Dark Autumn" episode of Midsomer Murders.

Walhonding River

The Walhonding River is a principal tributary of the Muskingum River, 23.5 mi long, in east-central Ohio in the United States. Via the Muskingum and Ohio Rivers, it is part of the watershed of the Mississippi River. It drains an area of 2252 mi2.

The Walhonding flows for its entire length in Coshocton County. It is formed by the confluence of the Mohican River and the Kokosing River and flows generally east-southeast, passing through Mohawk Dam, which was built in the 1930s by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the purpose of flood control in the Muskingum River watershed, and through the towns of Nellie and Warsaw. Downstream of Warsaw it collects Killbuck Creek. It meets the Tuscarawas River at the city of Coshocton to form the Muskingum River.

Variant names
According to the Geographic Names Information System, the Walhonding River has also been known historically as:
 * Muskingum River ("West branch")
 * Walhandink River
 * West Branch of the Muskingum
 * White Woman Creek
 * White Woman River
 * White Womans Creek
 * White Womans River
 * Whitemans Creek
 * Whitewoman Creek
 * Whitewomans Creek
 * Wolhonding River

The name "White Womans Creek" (and variants) was probably originally intended to refer specifically either to the Kokosing River or to the Mohican River; and during that same period (mid-1700s), the Walhonding was known only as the "West branch of the Muskingum". The final name "Walhonding" was newly chosen by legislators sometime after the 1820s.

Diogo Ortiz de Villegas

D. Diogo Ortiz de Villegas "Calzadilla" was a Castilian priest, theologian and astronomer at the service of the Portuguese monarchs. He was born in Calzadilla, Castile, ca. 1457 and died in Almeirim (Portugal), in 1519.

Ortiz came to Portugal in 1476, accompanying Castilian Princess Joanna La Beltraneja. He became an adviser to King John II of Portugal and later Manuel I, being successively appointed Bishop of Tanger (1491–1500), Bishop of Ceuta (1500–1504) and Bishop of Viseu (1505–1519). During his rule, he led a comprehensive artistic remodelling of Viseu Cathedral.

Ortiz advised the Portuguese kings on matters related to astronomy and navigation during the Age of Discovery. Manuel I named him tutor of his heir, future John III of Portugal.

Ortiz taught on the writings of Cato, Terence, Virgil, Sallust and some parts of the Bible, the theory of the planets and some elementary matters about astrology he heard from Tomás de Torres, an eminent doctor and astrologer of that time.

Heartland League

The Heartland League was an independent baseball league that operated from 1996 to 1998 in the central United States.

The Heartland League was founded with teams in Lafayette, Indiana; Anderson, Indiana; Will County, Illinois; and Dubois County, Indiana. Lafayette won the championship in 1996. In 1997, the Clarksville Coyotes, Tennessee Tomahawks, and Columbia Mules joined the league from the Big South League. The Altoona Rail Kings also joined the league from the North Atlantic League. The four teams from the previous year remained, giving the league eight teams. In 1997. the league drew over 210,000 fans, more than three times as many fans as in 1996. The league fielded six teams in 1998, but teams in Huntington, West Virginia, and Booneville, Mississippi, suspended operations midway through the season and the league suspended operations after the Cook County Cheetahs jumped to the Frontier League.

The Mid-America League was based in Lafayette, Indiana, and was an independent baseball league located entirely within Indiana. The Mid-America League was the same league as the Heartland League with a different name and the same franchise. The Mid-America League operated in only four cities that were not served by Major or Minor League Baseball teams, and is not affiliated with either.

Northbourne Avenue

Northbourne Avenue is a major road in Canberra, Australia. It extends from City Hill in the south, to the Federal Highway in the north.

It is a north–south running road which has three lanes for motorised traffic, and one lane for bicycles running in each direction, with a large median strip containing a light railway line between rows of trees. The speed limit is 60 km/h north of Barry Drive. Civic contains a strictly enforced 40 km/h zone with multiple fixed red light/speed cameras and mobile speed cameras operating along the entire length of the road.

Northbourne Avenue is the dividing line between the suburbs of Turner and Lyneham on the west, with the suburbs of Braddon, Dickson and Downer on the east.

Many ACTION buses travelling between City and Dickson, Gungahlin or Belconnen used the road, which had many bus stops along it until the light rail line along the median strip opened in April 2019.

Northbourne Avenue was planted with Eucalyptus elata (river peppermint gums) between 1983 and 1986, the third generation of Eucalyptus on the road. The previous generation was Corymbia maculata (spotted gums). The river peppermint gums were cleared for Capital Metro and replanted with Eucalyptus mannifera (brittle gums).

Innovations introduced under his stewardship include use of the first high-speed telegraph printing machines, use of teletype (instead of Morse Code), and introduction of a photograph wire service (by 1935, known as World Wide Photos). By 1929, he had also opened bureaus in London, Paris, and Berlin.

During his 41 years with AP, Cooper's positions included general manager (1925–1943) and finally executive director.

Personal and death

Aylesbury High School

Aylesbury High School (AHS) was founded in 1959, in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, when the previously co-educational Aylesbury Grammar School (founded 1598) split to become two single-sex grammar schools. The two institutions remain on adjacent sites. The school takes its pupils from a wide area as far from Aylesbury as Oxford and Milton Keynes, as admissions are determined by the eleven-plus. The current headmistress is Marieke Forster.

The school is colloquially referred to by locals as "Aylesbury Girls'" and by the students as "the High" or "AHS".

Admissions
The school is a selective state-funded grammar school, and as such entry requirements are dictated by the eleven-plus, now called transfer tests, although several students are admitted on appeal to Buckinghamshire County Council. In the fairly unusual event of free places, the school will accept pupils in Year 8 upon success in the twelve-plus, and later upon reasonable evidence that prospective pupils are academically capable. A large number of pupils are also admitted in the Sixth Form from both local state and independent schools, though impressive GCSE results are required and competition for these places is high.

The school educates girls from the age of 11, in Year 7, through to the age of 18, in Upper VI. The school has its largest intakes at Year 7 followed by Lower VI. On completing GCSEs, most girls stay on to complete their A-levels at the school's sixth-form.

It is situated east of the town centre on the southern side of the A41, between Walton (to the west) and Victoria Park (to the east). This site was built and opened in 1959 by Princess Alexandra, and is reflective of the modern, minimalist post-war architecture of the time. The school is housed in gardens which the students enjoy particularly in the summer.

Specialist status
The school has been awarded specialist school status in Languages, which it kept until Summer 2011, when it gained Academy Status. Languages remain a particular strength at the school and are extensively resourced and promoted. Each girl is required to take at least one language to GCSE level, and many take languages on to A Level and university.

Academy status
In July 2011 the school became an Academy.

Current senior teaching staff
There are currently six members of the school's Senior Leadership Team:
 * Headmistress - M Forster

Houses
Each pupil is placed into one of six houses upon starting at the school. The houses are as follows:

The house cup
Every year, each house battles to win the House Cup. During the last week of term is the concluding House Event, House Athletics. Then, on the last day of term, the winning house is announced. Now merit marks, that the pupils earn, count toward the house cup.

There are several house events, such as:

The school also holds numerous minor sporting inter-house events.

House Points awarded for exemplary work also contribute, though comparatively insignificantly, to the House Cup.

A points system is then used to determine the winner of the Cup. The result is usually hotly contested in the hours after the announcement.

Head girls
The school appoints seven members of Year 13 to the positions of Head Girl and six Deputy Head Girls in a group formally known as the School Cabinet. Girls are short-listed for these roles by the nominations of members of their year group, and are subsequently elected by students, staff and members of the senior leadership team based on maturity, behaviour, attitude, academic achievements and contribution to school and house events. They are identified by light blue lacquer Head Girl and dark blue lacquer Deputy Head Girl badges.

Teaching system
In the first three years at Aylesbury High School, girls are almost exclusively taught in their houses (with the exceptions of Maths, in which pupils are streamed by ability in year 8–9, and by their Foreign Language choice in year 8–9. Houses are also paired (Ascott with Claydon, Hughenden with Missenden and Stowe with Waddesdon) and then split up into groups of 15–20 for Design Technology lessons and Art lessons in Years 8–9.

In Year 10 and above, the year group is reshuffled into different classes for each subject depending on their GCSE options these different GCSE choices mean they may not see others from either tutor group or form. From this point onwards, the houses play a lesser role in the day-to-day life of students but continue to organise teams for the House Cup as well as taking house assemblies and sharing a form room with other house members in their year, where students generally congregate during break-time and lunch if they are not eating in the Dining Room.

In the Sixth Form, all form groups are reshuffled and divided into smaller groups. One member of staff is responsible for each of these forms and oversees their progression to university and UCAS applications. Interview advice is given by the Head of Sixth Form Mr Skinner and Deputy Head of Sixth Form Mrs Sutton.

The school is also known for offering a wide range of subjects at both GCSE and A Level.

Academic performance
Aylesbury High School consistently ranks in the top 100 schools in the country for exam results. Previous rankings (2012) listed Aylesbury High School as 15th nationally and A Level Results within the top 100 selective schools (including independent schools).

Scholarships
The school gives an annual travel scholarship award to honour the memory of Jane Brownlee a Head of Geography who died in service in 1998. The award is presented by her son Ben Brownlee and is awarded to a pupil in Year 13 to support travel in their gap year.

Charity
The school is locally known for taking fundraising to (frequently comical) extremes – including sky-dives and 20-hour treks. On Tuesday 21 November 2006 the school broke the world record for the number of Christmas crackers pulled simultaneously. In addition to setting a new Guinness World Record of 1,217 Christmas crackers, the school pupils also raised over £2,500 in sponsorship for children's charity the NSPCC.

The prime minister's global fellowship
The school has a good record of students attaining places on the prestigious Prime Minister's Global Fellowship programme. The school achieved its first student in the inaugural year of the programme, 2008, and in 2009 had 2 successful applicants.

Notable former pupils

 * Lynda Bellingham, actress
 * Emma Brockes, writer
 * Claire Foy, actress
 * Joanna Gosling, news presenter (BBC News)
 * Anne Mills FRS, health economist
 * Dr Sarah Woodhouse, research psychologist and trauma expert, author, former Liberal Democrat councillor, and Remain campaigner during Brexit 2016 referendum.

Wikipedia Ambassador Program in Houston
Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you're listed as a Wikipedian from Houston. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors from the Houston area, to help with Wikipedia assignments at Texas Southern University. Classes at TSU will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester, and the role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone in Houston who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page. Thanks!--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:13, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

Mercury M-Series

The Mercury M-Series is a series of pickup trucks that was marketed by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company. Produced from 1947 to 1968, the Mercury M series was sold primarily in Canada, as a rebadged version of the Ford F-Series.

Background
In 1946, Ford of Canada split its Ford and Lincoln/Mercury divisions into separate sales networks. Alongside the creation of the Monarch and Meteor sub-brands, Ford of Canada introduced trucks to the Mercury division. At the time, few rural communities offered both the Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealership networks, miniminizing model overlap and allowing for greater coverage for potential truck buyers. To differentiate Ford and Mercury trucks, Mercury added a brand-specific grille and slightly different exterior and interior trim.

Nomenclature
In 1948, following the introduction of the Ford F-Series, Mercury adopted the use of the "M" prefix, for Mercury. From 1948 to 1950, nominal tonnage ratings were replaced by a series designation in which the numbers indicate the GVWR when equipped with tires of appropriate capacity. Each code number is arrived at by dividing the GVWR of the series by 100. Thus an F-47 (M-47) indicates a GVWR of 4700 lbs., F-135 (M-135) indicates 13500 lbs., etc.

In 1951–52, Ford of Canada got back in step with Ford USA with F-1 (M-1), F-2 (M-2) etc.

Pickup trucks

From 1948 to 1968, the Mercury M-series followed the development of its Ford F-series counterparts, differing largely in exterior trim.

For 1961 to 1966, Mercury trucks had a gear/lightning bolt symbol on their horn button and no other interior Mercury nameplates.

For 1967 and 1968, trucks used Ford interior trim only, such as the horn button, dash cluster bezel and radio block-off plate.

Other Mercury trucks
Alongside rebranding the F-Series pickup trucks as the M-series, Lincoln-Mercury also marketed other vehicles of the Ford truck range. The Ford medium-duty F-series (F-500 and above) was part of the M-series, including an MB-series bus chassis (Ford B-series). As part of its commercial truck range, Lincoln-Mercury also marketed the Ford C-series tilt-cab truck as an M-series; produced until 1968.

The first-generation Ford Econoline was marketed in Canada as the Mercury Econoline EM-series, sharing both van and pickup truck body configurations. As Mercury-brand light-truck production ended during the 1968 model year, there was no Mercury version of the second-generation Econoline (which was moved to the 1969 model year).

While not sold as a Mercury, the Lincoln-Mercury division also marketed the first-generation (1957-1959) Ford Ranchero through its Meteor brand in Canada.

Discontinuation
When the Auto-Pact was signed in 1965, opening the border to tariff-free movement of vehicles produced on both sides of the border, Mercury truck production was split between the Oakville, Ontario, plant and the San Jose, California, plant. This enabled Oakville to ramp up production to supply the eastern US and Canada with Ford trucks. No Mercury trucks were sold in the US. Ford wound down production of the Mercury trucks in the late spring of 1968; documented Mercury trucks have been found built as late as May 15, 1968. Employees of Ford in this time period have reported leftover Mercury M series being converted to Ford trucks. However, no paperwork or confirmation has yet surfaced regarding the final disposition of these, nor of an official end date to production.

After its discontinuation, the next Mercury light truck would be the 1993 Mercury Villager minivan.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Louisiana State University and am originally from the 9th Ward in New Orleans, Louisiana.

With a wide array of interests, I have started and contributed to Wikipedia articles of varying topics—relating to anything from incarcerated rappers to immortalized scientists. Of the articles to which I have contributed, I am most proud to have begun and continually contributed to the 9th Ward page. The vast majority of my edits are on pages that have some close connection with the people, places, or culture of my beloved hometown.

My current obsessions include the reconstruction of New Orleans, New Orleans Rap, and everything New Orleans.

Talk:Sound art

Disambiguation?
I believe the Sound Art listing should be a disambiguation page pointing to the following three topics: Sound Sculpture, Sound Poetry and Electronic Art Music. While sound art is mostly ignored by the contemporary art scene, contemporary music crowds use the term willy nilly to describe the aforementioned types of work. For example, my work fits under the term sound sculpture while some of my colleagues compose electronic art music, we all however, consider ourselves sound artists. This is a common problem which generally leads to some terminology juggling by artists to figure out who is working in what medium. Part of this problem is due to the fields being relatively new and the academic art world's "hands off" approach to works using sound. In general the term needs to be better defined and this is a decent place to start. For reference to other perspectives on Sound Art, please see the German Wikipedia Klangkunst to understand how they sub-categorize the term. I think their four category layout (three for English because Sound Installation points to Sound Sculpture) demonstrates the need for a disambiguation page.
 * I think there's enough to avoid being simply a disambig; however, it should mention the things you list. I obviously didn't look at this article much earlier, since the state it's in now it would be a likely target for deletion. What I will do is simply translate the German article and use that for this article, and from there you can make additions and changes. How does that sound? Sarge Baldy 02:10, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a plan. Thank you sir. Grokboy 21:25, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree that the article benefits from a clear message that splits Sound Art into various sub disciplines (Sound Poetry, Sound Sculpture, etc). However the distinction between these disciplines are often so fragile that it would be a wise idea to discuss them from a different point of view.  It is my opinon that Sound Art's most intriguing and infuriating quality is the difficulty found by observer and creator in identifying a suitable discipline which best encompasses a specific work. For this reason I think it best to introduce the article with as brief a possible outline of a sound artists objectives, rather than the discipline to which he/her may belong, following that a brief reference to the various sub disciplines would be appropriate.  Following that I think the article would benefit from mention of the main contributors to Sound art; from it's beginings in pre 1st World War Italy (Luigi Russolo' Art of Noise) and Dadaist works (Marcel Duchamp and others) through to Dadaist poetry, Concrete Poets and of course John Cage. I've nothing to do tomorrow so i'll be writing a draft, including details of the existing article.  I'll put it up and maybe i could get a little feedback?  John Stokes 11:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Well i must say this rewrite is brilliant, and contains everything i wanted to say and says it far more eloquently and succintly than i would have myself. it's very pleasing to see such a good explaination of how music and sound art are different from one another. It's a very interesting article. John Stokes 00:09, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Whoever did the rewrite, I encourage you to see Welcome, newcomers for more information about Wikipedia and article conventions. Hyacinth 01:06, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

I note that this page makes no mention of musique concrete composers such as Stockhausen -they should certainly be represented under the banner Sound Art. 81.99.156.250 (talk) 04:41, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

sorry for format errors, etc.
sorry, I did the rewrite and didn't thouroughly check the formal parameters. I had never looked up 'sound art' before on wikipedia, and just added this rewrite off the top of my head, so to speak. Helpful in terms of fleshing out the topic, but creates more revision work unfortunately.

 * Please Sign your posts on talk pages. Hyacinth 07:13, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

List vs. See Also
It seems like the See Also section of this article and List of topics related to Sound Art is duplicative. I think the list of links in See Also should be merged to the List article. Then, just the List link should be on this page for the See Also section. Otherwise, they will always be out of sync. --Clubmarx (talk) 16:17, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Sonic Art
I have added sonic art in brackets, as it is another widely used term for the same topic. I feel while the term sound art is relatively self-descriptive, it doesn't sound as good English to me, as I read it as "art, which is sound" (as in sound reason). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavel679 (talk • contribs)
 * "Sound art" is well established and is fine in English, as "sound" has multiple meanings. It is unlikely anyone will mistake it for another meaning. You need a source that shows wide usage of "sonic art".  freshacconci  talk talk  11:15, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Gallery captions
I would suggest in the image captions we mention the type of sound produced by the artwork, perhaps in terms of what phenomenon creates the sound, for example.

Not for every image necessarily, but at least for the artworks that don't have a Wikipedia page to link in the caption. Simply showing a photo seems a bit inadequate considering the genre. Just an idea! Pythagimedes (talk) 22:25, 4 November 2021 (UTC)

 * other issue is notability of examples, we should really focus on works that are widely cited as exemplary, for instance the Philips Pavilion (and let's not get sidetracked by definitions on this one). There is simply too much work being produced now that is labelled "sound art" across a range of mediums and styles, much of it insignificant. Acousmana 12:15, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act

The Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act of 2003 is a United States federal law enacted as a rider within the PROTECT Act on April 30, 2003. A substantially similar Act was proposed during the previous Congress as the Reducing Americans' Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act (RAVE Act).

Provisions
The Act modified section 416(a) of the Controlled Substances Act (also known as the "crackhouse law" and codified at United States Code, ) to expand the section regarding "establishment of manufacturing operations", which previously outlawed maintaining, managing or owning any place used to manufacture, distribute or use drugs to include temporary or permanent uses of the premises.

The Act also created a civil penalty of $250,000 or "2 times the gross receipts, either known or estimated, that were derived from each violation that is attributable to the person", whichever was greater. Additionally, the Act recommended that the United States Sentencing Commission reconsider the then-current Federal sentencing guidelines with respect to offenses involving gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), commonly known as a date rape drug.

Legislative history
The bill, originally titled the Reducing Americans' Vulnerability to Ecstasy Act (RAVE ACT), was sponsored by Senator Joe Biden, along with cosponsors Chuck Grassley, Orrin Hatch, Joe Lieberman, Strom Thurmond, Patrick Leahy and Dick Durbin. The bill was referred to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary on June 18, 2002. On June 27, 2002, it was reported out of the committee without written comment or amendment and placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar. On October 10, 2002, Senator Biden provided introductory remarks on the bill before the Senate.

The RAVE Act was also included as an amendment to the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, introduced on January 7, 2003, by Thomas Daschle (D-SD.) This bill also failed to pass.

It was reintroduced in the 108th United States Congress by Biden, under the name "Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act". It was later attached to the PROTECT Act, which was aimed at prosecuting child sexual abuse, while it was in conference committee; the PROTECT Act was signed into law by President Bush on April 30, 2003

Criticism
The RAVE Act has discouraged rave organizers from providing medical assistance to attendants. The American Civil Liberties Union has criticized the legislation, arguing that the threat of Drug Enforcement Administration enforcement action leads to a chilling effect on speech and "unfairly punishes businesses for the crimes of their customers". The DEA has stated that the law will not be enforced against legitimate property owners and event promoters. Erin Treacy of the Florida International University College of Law has argued that the RAVE Act violates the First Amendment because it is overbroad and is intended to criminalize electronic music concerts.

RE: My RFA
Hey there! I hope all is well. Anyway, just dropping by with a question; what did you mean by "didn't want to hurt [me]" in your support statement? I'm not offended or anything, and just was curious about that. At any rate, you never have to worry about offending me, just so you know. Cheers, Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! ☺  19:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I meant that because I have never nominated a candidate before, I didn't want to nominate you, as I was afraid the nomination would not as strong as one offered by someone with experience in giving them. Further, I would say Majorly probably has more clout than me with the community. At any rate, I will clarify that over at the RfA. Warm regards, SorryGuy Talk  19:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

hello, thanks for being active at AFD. When you relist a debate, however, there are 3 steps.

If you do not complete the steps, then the bots don't recognize the log as closed, and interested editors reviewing todays log will never see the discussion.

Preuss School
Hi SorryGuy. I took another look at the article, and you did fix some of my concerns (although I noticed that some of the new sources are missing publishers). I think the Academics section needs to be cited to something tangible, even if it is just the school website. Otherwise, that could be considered original research. I realize that the events section is really short, but I would merge those two paragraphs into one and delete all the extra detail about the car thing. By including so much detail, it makes the event sound pretty notable, and in the grand scheme of things it's just another fundraiser. Karanacs (talk) 21:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't personally hold a position on the region, I was just making some simple edits, but I think it's going to have to be further protected. Epson291 (talk) 01:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

I have been trying to improve the history section and not cause any disruption. I am proposing this new version for the history section User:Getoar/Notebook. It has far more sources than the current one and I am still working on it, which means I will add more. I believe it is more inclusive and less selective as to time period or issues.--Getoar (talk) 22:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * In a case like this one, even if your edits are good faith, please try to develop consensus for them on the talk page. If clear consensus emerges, then your version will be kept. I would also recommend presenting what you told me to the AN/I, although I will do so for you if you do not. Thanks, SorryGuy Talk  22:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

That's fine. You do it this time. I just want to see that people are actually paying attention to my proposal and to just ignoring it because it is by an Albanian. I took off some allegedly Albanian-POV elements such as the issue about the Roman Catholic Church (which is acutally true; Catholics had it worse during the Ottomans than the Orthodox; the latter had their church protected by the sultan).--Getoar (talk) 22:41, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Regardless of AN/I, like I said, have you actively proposed and attempted to gain consensus for your proposal on the talk page? If you do so calmly and present your case for that version reasonably, I am sure it will get proper consideration. Warm regards, SorryGuy Talk  22:45, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

User:Getoar/Notebook is now proposed on the Kosovo talkpage and I am waiting for response. Earlier I made changes, perhaps without prior discussion, but I did offer my reasons in the edit summary. I believed that better sourced and all-inclusive texts are more acceptable. The history section was nevertheless tagged for lack of sources and verifiability.--Getoar (talk) 22:49, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Will you agree to ceasing making the edits until consensus for them arises, then? SorryGuy Talk  22:52, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I can wait for a while and see what they say. But even if my version is not accepted I will challenge the current one (by tags and minor acceptable edits). It has practically no sources at least up to its later subsections.--Getoar (talk) 22:53, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Block template
No worries - I actually had the same question for quite a while before stumbling on the answer. To get the sig into the block template, you need to assign a "sig=~" parameter.

Admin nom
Hi SorryGuy, thank you very much for the offer. I'm not sure that I haven't had any others because folks suspect I have them, but thank you for saying that ;-) I'm a little conflicted about whether to accept, to be honest. Lar and John have just barely agreed to be my admin coaches, and I'm concerned that the number of my mainspace contribs would make an RfA difficult to pass. I've asked Lar what he thinks, but he appears to be offline. Would you mind if it took me a little while to get back to you? Thanks again, Avruch  T 02:05, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

 * I think I'm going to hold off and aim at that slam dunk you mentioned. Hopefully my admin coaching will proceed soon and I'll have the time to make some more mainspace contribs (and help get A Moral Reckoning to GA status). I very much appreciate the offer and your understanding, thank you! Avruch  T 03:15, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

A lot of users just use it indiscriminately, but it really is a great tool. I'll try my best to continue working at the capacity/level that I current am. Cheers! Wisdom89  ( T |undefined /  C ) 03:51, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Surely. I totally understand what you mean about Twinkle, and as I said it does seem like your use it effectively. I would also say now that I am here and dealing with my internet's lag that it probably wouldn't be a horrible idea to achieve your talk page a little more frequently ;).

My request for bureaucratship

 Dear SorryGuy, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats. I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight. I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community. I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :) I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 11:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks also for your questions :) ~ Riana ⁂  11:47, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Neon Bible
Hi, I saw you reverted my edit moving the story behind the title back to the lead. See I disagree with you there because the lead is supposed to give the reader all the important information about the article at a casual glance. The lack of connection between the titles of the book and album isn't that important. Also, all the info in the lead should also be mentioned in the body of the article, which is not the case here. If not Artwork, could you suggest another place to keep this information? indopug (talk) 05:41, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I understood your reasoning for doing it, but I honestly do not think the origin of the title is appropriate for any of the current sections, and definately not worthy of its own section. Per WP:LEAD, the lead should be a summary of the main points of the article. However, I do not believe it says everything in the lead must be covered in greater depth within the text. If you have a solution, I am open to it, but personally I think it is fine where it is. While I am here, I would like to thank you for the copy-edit. It was well-done. Cheers, SorryGuy Talk  05:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Its better with that "commercialized Bible" bit; add that to before the "Once the title of the album was decided upon..." sentence. I'm not sure if that book warrants mention in the article at all actually... indopug (talk) 08:30, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Barnstar...
Thanks for the barnstar. I do have a couple disagreements:
 * POV was a little harsh. Previous reviews did not have POV issues. Frankly, some of his stats are astonishing (like stealing more than the Red Sox franchise for 23 years). However, I noticed that when Babe Ruth out-homered every team, it isn't written as "astonishing." Although it should be. ;-)
 * I understand what makes a good lead, but I have no idea how the lead for the article should be written now. What is excessive or not enough? Please provide examples.

Also, I added further comments to the talk page. Thanks for the review. Timneu22 (talk) 17:34, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

WPSchools
Hey, you offered a while ago to help make changes to the WPSchools banner and was hoping you were still willing. I have created a newer, more condensed and more functional version and would appreciate if you could move/copy it from User:Alanbly/WPSchools to Template:WikiProject_Schools. I have already created the new categories necessary for the move. It will also be necessary to re-add  back on once the move is completed. Thanks! Adam McCormick (talk) 23:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and transferred it without a move. Hope everything is fine. Warm regards, SorryGuy Talk  01:00, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ack, the protection template needs to be inside tags! It's being transcluded to the whole category. Can you fix this please? Adam McCormick (talk) 01:04, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ug. Sorry about that, I see you even tried to make it easy for me and I still goofed it. Suffice to say coding is not my thing. SorryGuy Talk  01:17, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks just the same, looks great now. Adam McCormick (talk) 01:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bother you again, but we need your help again if you wouldn't mind terribly. We've made a couple bug fixes and would appreciate another move from User:Alanbly/WPSchools. And just as a reminder, be sure to uncomment the protection template. Thanks. Let me know if there are any issues. Adam McCormick (talk) 04:47, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, that seems to have fixed the issue. Adam McCormick (talk) 06:15, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed a new issue, would you please move the new version over (remember to uncomment the protection template). Thanks very much Adam McCormick (talk) 06:16, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry to bug you again so soon, but I discovered a further bug and corrected it. If you would bring the template over again it would be quite helpful. Thanks again Adam McCormick (talk) 21:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * (outdent) Thanks very much, hopefully I won't have to bother you any time soon. Adam McCormick (talk) 15:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The schools project now has its first FL class article so I've updated the template at User:Alanbly/WPSchools with the new cat. When you have time, it would be great if you could move it over, and dont forget to uncomment the protection template. Thanks! Adam McCormick (talk) 14:32, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Just FYI In the mean time since this request I have been asked to make several other changes which are also ready to be moved. I have placed an edit protected notice on the page so I'll let you know if it gets done before you get to it. Thanks again! Adam McCormick (talk) 03:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

This decline
How can a request of an IP to be blocked on the basis of evading a ban be denied for an old warning? Evading a ban is an immediately blockable offense, and the puppetmaster had already been blocked, has had three of his socks. I provided links to the puppetmaster's identity and three of his socks that had already been blocked for performing exactly the same edit. Don't you think being blocked four times for the behaviour is sufficient warning? As for it maybe being someone else, how many people do you think are possibly obsessed with changing the number of black Hondurans from 150K to 350K? It doesn't seem like a widespread area of controversy which is inclined to draw in a wide range of people maniacally inserting the same false number into Wikipedia.

What would I have had to write to make you act instead of decline? As it is, it took several more hours to get the situation under control, with several more reversion cycles and finally going to WP:RFPP to get action taken. A lot more effort, a lot more time, and a lot more vandalism. I really need to understand how to get these things acted on at AIV, and I'm obviously not putting in enough for AIV to recognize blatant vandals and block them.Kww (talk) 20:10, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't decline the report. did, per here.  Gary King ( talk )  20:15, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I will yield that it was not a great decline, and that I probably should have made the block. I simply looked at the contribs, saw the old warning, and saw the user was not active at the time. I didn't look into the socks, and I'm not sure why, so apologies there. The issue appears to be resolved, but I understand it took more effort on your part and I thank you for that and apologize there as well. Warm regards, SorryGuy Talk  00:51, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

File source problem with File:John Swigert Monument.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:John Swigert Monument.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:01, 26 September 2009 (UTC).

Nomination of Artists and songs at both Live Aid and Live 8 for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Artists and songs at both Live Aid and Live 8 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 Articles for deletion/Artists and songs at both Live Aid and Live 8 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. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:55, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear SorryGuy,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

 * How to edit a page
 * Editing, policy, conduct, and structure tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style
 * Merging, redirecting, and renaming pages
 * If you're ready for the complete list of Wikipedia documentation, there's also Topical index.
 * My own personal summarized Bootcamp is at User:Redwolf24/Bootcamp.

Yes some of the links appear a bit boring at first, but they are VERY helpful if you ever take the time to read them.

Remember to place any articles you create into a category so we don't get orphans.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! By the way, please be sure to sign your name on Talk and vote pages using four tildes (~~~~) to produce your name and the current date, or three tildes (~~~) for just your name. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome.

Image Tagging Image:DSCN1917.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:DSCN1917.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, 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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL-self to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, 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. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
