I am taking an indefinite wikibreak. I'll probably continue to make small fixes as I read pages, but I'll be away from active editing for awhile. Keep up the good work! |
This has been an very interesting experience - thank you, thank you! BTW, according to a wikichart, it appears that some 2,500,000 readers saw the Feb. 14, 2007 Main page with the article intro, and some 100,000 readers clicked through to the article itself.

Thank you for contributions to the project, Great work on California Gold Rush, and congrats on getting it as a WP:TFA back in February! May you wear the crowns well. Cirt (talk) 20:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
The major objection to using the Britannica is that it is a tertiary source, as we are; it would be better to use the Britannica's sources, in an effort to be as reliable as EB is.
The accessibility issue is minor; we normally don't worry about accessibility if something is published, because someone will be able to check; and most of the Britannica's articles are also in the print edition, widely available. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome: the current semi-protection is for a month, so we'll see how it goes after that. Acalamari 22:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello from WikiProject California!
As part of a recent update to our project main page we are conducting a roll call to check which members are still active and interested in working on California related content. If you are still interested in participating, simply move your username from the inactive section of the participant list to the active section. I hope you will find the redesigned project pages helpful, and I wanted to welcome you back to the project. If you want you can take a look at the newly redesigned:
As well as the existing pages:
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, and add it to your watchlist, if it isn't already.
You're back; I'm back. What's Wikipedia coming to these days? Jimbo Wales must be rolling his eyes! Nice barnstars! --Ronbo76 (talk) 13:36, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
NorCal, please take a look at Felipe de Neve. I want to bring it out of Stub status. --Ronbo76 (talk) 17:10, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I just updated Strait of Anián. In 2006 you released [*[Image:Map North America 1540 Strait of Anian.png]]. Do you still have the source? If so: Who was the author or publisher? Does the word Anian appear on it or accompany it? If so the first publication of this name will have to be backdated 20 years. In the upper left corner, what is the word following 'India'? It may be Superior or Septentrionalis or something. Thanks, Benjamin Trovato (talk) 23:57, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Okwanuchu Tribal Territory.jpg.
This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.
While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.
If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC).
