==Disputed non-free use rationale for File:USC CA Sup Ct.jpg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thank you for uploading '''[[:File:USC CA Sup Ct.jpg]]'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]]. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free|image copyright tag]]; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|media copyright questions page]].

== Replaceable fair use File:Big5California.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Big5California.jpg]]'''. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:Big5California.jpg|the media description page]] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[File talk:Big5California.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target=OCNative&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|non-free content policy]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== thanks ==

I just wanted to say thanks for your efforts guiding the merge discussion for UIGEA.  It may not have given you the best first impression of the ambassador program, but if you have any interest in it, I think you'd make an excellent ambassador. --[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 15:24, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
*Actually, my first impression of the ambassador program was via [[#Nuclear policy of the United States]], which is an excellent new article.  The fact that UIGEA is related to the ambassador program is what made me decide to intervene in the first place.  Had it not been an ambassador program-related article, I would have left it to others to sort out. So what are the responsibilities and time commitment of an ambassador? [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 01:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
**The time commitment for an Online Ambassador is a few hours per week.  The main role of ambassadors so far has been to serve as one-on-one mentors for students. But we're changing that around considerably (probably) after this term... we'll try to find a small group of Online Ambassadors to help a whole class (preferably with some match between the ambassadors' interests and the subject of the class).  The one-on-one thing is sometimes unsatisfying, because individual students vary widely in how engaged they are with Wikipedia and how responsive they are to mentors.  So next term, ambassadors will sign on to support one or more classes (if they want to), and then answer questions and give help when asked, and in general watch out for the whole class and bring up problems to the instructor and/or Campus Ambassadors.  You can poke around at [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors]] to see what what's been going on lately.--[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 15:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

==Thanks - fixed==
I wanted to say thanks for alerting me to the problem with the hook for my DYK. It is my first article, so I am still learning. I fixed iron the page. Is there anything else I need to do? Thanks. [[User:Tstaudt|Tstaudt]] ([[User talk:Tstaudt|talk]]) 15:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
*The date checks out, as does the length since you massively expanded it (way over the minimum requirement of a quintuple expansion).  The only impediment to DYK approval that I see is there are not enough citations.  There needs to be at least one citation per paragraph, and it looks like roughly half the paragraphs are uncited.  I'm guessing that the information in each of your paragraphs is covered by at least one of your existing 34 sources, so if that is the case, see [[WP:REFNAME]] on how to link multiple places to a source.  If you'd like to see a short example page, you can experiment with [[Notre Dame – Stanford rivalry]], which I created a few months back and where I repeatedly cited a Notre Dame game notes page and the Stanford media guide (that page has multiple citations per sentence, but that is far beyond the minimum; you can see more typical citation rates at [[George W. Milias]] or [[C.C. Bridgewater]]).  [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 16:06, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
* I fixed the citations. I didnt realize that for a court case I should keep citing the ruling, for each and every part. If there is anything else, let me know. Thanks (So are you an ND fan or Stanford?)[[User:Tstaudt|Tstaudt]] ([[User talk:Tstaudt|talk]]) 22:06, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
**I've reviewed ''[[Prometheus Radio Project v. FCC]]'' and approved it on the suggestions page.  From this point, it still needs to go in the queue before appearing on the Main Page as an official DYK entry.  Judging by the number of DYKs currently, I would estimate that the entry will spend 2-3 more days on the suggestions page and then another 2-3 days in the queue.  The article should be fine, but occasionally, articles have been pulled from the queue (I've had one of mine pulled before), so it's still possible, but you have cleared the biggest hurdle.  Also, I don't know what the scope of your class assignment is (and this isn't required for DYK), but it would be helpful if you added citation templates to the references to match them to the Wikipedia notation; the three that seem most relevant to the article would be {{[[:Template:cite court|cite court]]}}, {{[[:Template:cite journal|cite journal]]}}, and {{[[:Template:cite web|cite web]]}}.  Additionally, adding the {{[[:Template:Infobox COA case|Infobox COA case]]}} to the article would also be helpful (see an example of what the infobox looks like at ''[[United States v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency]]'') but again not required.

== Official date that Ignatieff loses title "Leader of Opposition" ==

Hi OCNative. 
I noticed that you reverted edits at both [[Jack Layton]] and [[Michael Ignatieff]] relating to the start/end of term as Leader of the Opposition.You seem to be well-informed about Canadian politics. Why did you pick May 30, 2011 as the day that Layton takes over as the official Leader of the Opposition? I know that the results of the election are not officially released by Elections Canada until May 24, 2011. Are you saying that Parliament will be recalled a week after that? I have seen nothing to that effect, at least not in writing. What is wrong with putting May 2, 2011, as the day Layton becomes the new Leader of the Opposition, as it already states that here: [[Leader of the Official Opposition (Canada)]]? There seems to be a lack of agreement on this issue. Maybe you can help me out here. --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 08:19, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:[http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2011/2011-03-28-x1/html/si-tr34-eng.html This proclamation] by the Governor General summons Parliament to meet on May 30, 2011. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 08:37, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
::If I understand correctly, you are saying that Ignatieff is still Leader of the Opposition until then? What if Parliament had to be recalled earlier for some reason. Would Ignatieff still be able, without having a seat in Parliament, to act in the capacity as Leader of the Official Opposition? I think not. You are mistaking the first day of the new session of Parliament as the day that the job begins, for Layton. 

::Officially Layton would be the Leader of the Opposition today, if a crisis arose where Parliament had to be recalled earlier than expected. This has a precedent in 1988. On that occasion, Parliament was summoned to meet only three weeks after the general election, so the list of elected Members was not tabled by the Clerk until the fourth sitting day (Journals, December 15, 1988, pp. 26‑33). In other words, officially, the Leader of the Opposition today (May 3) is already Layton, not Ignatieff. The only reason Parliament was set to reopen on May 30, 2011, was to give everyone a reasonable time to move in or out of their offices, and/or residences before the day of opening. It does not mean that Ignatieff keeps the job until May 30, 2011. There is nothing in the proclamation about that issue. --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 09:16, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:::No, no that wasn't I meant; my response to you was too short and incomplete.  What I mean is Ignatieff is Leader of the Opposition until the next day Parliament meets.  They're not expected to meet until May 30, per the proclamation. If they were recalled sooner, then Layton would become Leader the first day the 41st Parliament meets. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 09:29, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
::::That makes sense. Both of them are literally in a state of limbo right now. Neither of them is actually Leader of the Opposition at this moment, because Ignatieff can't claim that title (having lost his seat and the Liberals being relegated to third-party status) and Layton can't claim it until Parliament meets again. Wonderful state of affairs, that is!! --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 09:37, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:::::You bring up a really interesting point: I wonder when was the last time a Leader of the Opposition actually lost his seat in Parliament. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 09:55, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
{{outdent}}
Now you are making me work too hard! I will have to go back to 1867 and start from there, as I don't think anyone has kept that statistic. I'll get back to you in a month! :-) --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 10:03, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:It took less time than I thought. The answer is -- Never! From what I can see, looking at the list of [[List of Canadian Leaders of the Opposition|Leaders of the Opposition]] since 1869, it appears that not one of these rogues has ever lost his seat in an election, while acting as Leader of the Opposition. Some have resigned, for various reasons, but never lost their seats involuntarily.
::I stand corrected. There is one example noted by Rupertslander in [[Michael_Ignatieff#Leadership]] -- [[Sir John A. Macdonald]] being defeated in his own riding of Kingston in 1878, even though the Conservatives went on to win the election, making him Prime Minister. He then had to stand for election in Victoria, which he won.--[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 21:12, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

:So, do we still list Ignatieff as Leader of the Opposition until Layton takes over? He is like a King without a Crown! lol --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 10:46, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
::I propose we shut down Wikipedia until the Canadian parliament meets. :P  Though this isn't directly connected, Ignatieff refuses to resign as Leader of the Liberal Party.  This ''is'' quite a state of limbo. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 10:59, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
:::We could put a footnote after his title "Leader of the Opposition" -- <sup>[fn]</sup>Technically, Ignatieff can no longer be called the Leader of the Opposition, as he has lost his seat and second-party status all in one election. However, not to rain on his parade, we are going to leave the poor man alone, and let him fade away without much fanfare. Let him think he is still "the boss." It is a small consolation prize to tide him over into the next political reincarnation. --[[User:Skol fir|Skol fir]] ([[User talk:Skol fir|talk]]) 11:19, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

:::::Wouldn't he still hold the title until the return of the writ? [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 11:30, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

It might also be useful to copy this discussion to the relevant Talk Page for [[Michael Ignatieff]]. I noticed that 117Avenue agrees with you on this.

Many thanks - [[User:Basement12|<span style="color:blue;">Ba</span><span style="color:gold;">se</span><span style="color:black;">me</span><span style="color:green;">nt</span><span style="color:red;">12</span>]] [[User talk:Basement12|(T]].[[Special:Contributions/Basement12|C)]] 01:12, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
*You're welcome.  I figure if I can't say something thoughtful when awarding the DYK medal, then someone else should award it, as acknowledging a mere count without acknowledging quality defeats the spirit of DYK.

== Second Opinion ==

Hi OCNative. I was wondering if you could give a second opinion at [[Template talk:Did you know#Sanjak of Prizren]]. Do you think that we should use the Swahili clause?

*It looks fine; you did a good job.  I'm assuming that you favored older hooks over newer hooks (''after'' accounting for geographic and topical diversity).  Since there's several quirky hooks in the set, I'm also assuming you found the Fudai, Iwate floodgate was the quirkiest (since sets should try to include a quirky hook as the last hook).

== A couple questions ==

Hi OC, I have a couple questions. First, is the [[Template:The 25 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal|The 25 DYK Creation and Expansion Medal]] for 25 ''hooks'' or 25 ''articles''? Second, could you give me your opinion on the 5 article hook that starts with ''Jurang Pemisah''? It is a rather long hook (275 chars), but I think [[Wikipedia:Did_you_know/Additional_rules#C3|C3]] may apply. Thanks. [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 09:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
*The medal's for 25 articles.  I loved awarding one to Bobrayner after he created a 25-article hook.  I'll take a look at Jurang Pemisah, et al. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 09:33, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

== Perp walk ==

Hi OCNative,

Thanks for sorting the perp walk image on [[Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexual assault case]]. I originally just copied across the existing image in [[Perp walk]] but didn't know I had to provide a new NFCC rationale for that article. It subsequently was deleted on that ground and I didn't know how to provide a new rationale so I thought just to upload a duplicate under a new name with a fresh rationale. The software did recognise the image (it must use digital fingerprints I suppose) but allowed me to upload anyway. I've since been told that all I had to was edit the exiting NFCC and add a fresh rationale article, as I see you or a colleague has. Grateful and sorry to be a nuisance.

It's been marked for deletion and I'm off to defend it. I think #7 [[WP:NFC#UUI]] is clear (it's the images that are being discussed) but [[WP:NFCC#8]] is more questionable. [[User:FightingMac|FightingMac]] ([[User talk:FightingMac|talk]]) 13:08, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

:*No problem.  You weren't being a nuisance at all.  It was a relatively easy and quick fix. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 02:24, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

== re:Baku Museum nom ==

Hi OCN. I would have commented on the issue, but it seems it was resolved before I saw it. I enjoy reading your articles, by the way, going to read the 1812 War one once I post this. Keep up the good work. [[User:Manxruler|Manxruler]] ([[User talk:Manxruler|talk]]) 18:42, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
*Thanks for the kind words, but in the interest of full disclosure, the War of 1812 one and most of my DYK nominations since mid-June are actually other people's articles, as I've been trying to encourage new editors (or at least new-to-DYK) by nominating their articles for DYK.  I've largely taken a break from writing DYK articles myself to focus more on nominating other people's articles for DYK (though I'll still write one from time to time, of course). [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 10:28, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:*Ah, I see. That's a very nice of you. Variety is of course important. Good job. Accidentally somehow removed most of your talk the first I made this comment. Sorry. [[User:Manxruler|Manxruler]] ([[User talk:Manxruler|talk]]) 06:50, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

*Hi Misconceptions2, my efforts to nominate new articles created by other users is actually an effort to try to introduce DYK to users who have not seen it before (due to the tight 5-day nomination timeline, that's why I nominated two of your articles; though I will admit, I'm not perfect, and in a few cases, have nominated articles that turned out to have been created by users who had several DYK credits).

Nice to see you're back after a month. You missed most of the epic wars at [[WT:DYK]] though... Probably better that way. Hope the new DYK didn't leave you too shell-shocked. [[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 06:54, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

*Thanks for the welcome back message!  Yeah, July started to get busy, and August was quite busy! <small>(Yay, real-life money!)</small>  As you've noted, I'm back now.  However, you will find I won't be spending too much time at DYK in the next few months, as I will be focusing on college football edits (I am a member of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject College football|WikiProject College Football]], after all).  It has nothing to do with DYK politics or anything of that sort, in this regard, as you can see that I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&offset=20101221081557&limit=500&contribs=user&target=OCNative similarly spent last fall] focusing on college football edits (though if a new college football article warrants it, I'll certainly put it up for DYK).<br />It does look like it's a good thing I missed the DYK wars because it looks like the only changes that resulted from them from these two little sets of checkboxes: {{tlx|DYK hook checklist}} and {{tlx|DYK article checklist}}.  I assume there were no wars over the subpages because they look pretty much like what had been peacefully discussed before my wikibreak.

== Interview with Wikimedia Foundation ==

Hi OC,
I hope you're well. My name is Matthew Roth and I'm a Storyteller on the fundraising team at the Wikimania Foundation. In preparation for the 2011 fundraiser this November-December, I'm interviewing Wikipedians who contribute significantly to the projects. In the past, we've relied pretty heavily on Jimmy to carry the fundraising burden, and while his appeals have done very well, he alone doesn't represent the multitude of content creators on Wikipedia. I'm curious if you would like to interview with me? I would hope to speak with you for about 60 minutes and would ask you a number of questions about your personal experiences editing on Wikipedia and about its impact more generally. If you are inclined, please email mroth (at) wikimedia.org. Thanks!

== 1934 rankings ==

OCNative, I noticed you recently made edits to [[Template:1934 SEC football standings]] and [[Template:1934 PCC football standings]] to "correct rankings".  Where are these rankings from?  The AP Poll didn't exist until 1936. [[User:Jweiss11|Jweiss11]] ([[User talk:Jweiss11|talk]]) 06:28, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
:The AP Poll has been ''continuous'' since 1936, but the first poll was in 1934.  The notation on the templates said they were from the AP Poll, but the ranking numbers listed did not gel with [http://www.collegepollarchive.com/football/ap/research/1934-11-15_poll.cfm this source], and I couldn't find any information that matched the previously-listed ranks, so that's why I changed the rankings.

== Standings Table templates ==

Something broke in those last edits so I had to revert your changes. I welcome any attempts to improve it, but it's transcluded on over 3,000 pages, so if you want to experiment on it, please use the sandbox and test cases. Thanks. [[User:DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:red;">'''De'''</span>]][[User Talk:DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:green;">'''Fault'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:blue;">'''Ryan'''</span>]] 17:16, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
*I checked several pages that were using the template, and I didn't see anything that was broken.  I've now plugged my changes into the two sandboxes, and both sets of test cases seem fine.  Could you describe what was broken, so I can better ascertain what went wrong? [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 00:12, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
**Somehow the alignment went all wonky. It seemed like the columns were all squished into the left half of the infobox. Could have been a weird freak incident, but if the test cases look OK, it's probably good to go. A good page to see a lot of these standings is [[2011 NCAA Division I FBS football season#Conference standings]]. After you commit to the live template, I'd go there, purge the cache, and make sure it looks good. Not exactly sure what happened the other day, but I should have taken a screenshot. Thanks. [[User:DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:red;">'''De'''</span>]][[User Talk:DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:green;">'''Fault'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:blue;">'''Ryan'''</span>]] 20:56, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
**Looking at it again, and the test cases are messed up in Internet Explorer 8. (Not my browser of choice, but forced to use it sometimes). All the columns are shifted to the right. What I think is happening is that the division names and footers use a "colspan=99" parameter because they don't know how many columns they will need to span due to various combinations of winning percent, ties, division standings, etc. When the cell padding is nonzero, those extra 99 columns get rendered. It's possible that IE 8 is in the wrong, but it's a moot point with it being the single most popular ''version'' of a browser on the internet with 18% market share. Personally, I don't mind having the cell padding/spacing being zero, but if anybody wants it to be nonzero, then the division names and footnotes will need to calculate exactly how many columns it needs to span. Luckily, I put that logic into [[Template:Standings Table Start/colspan]], so it's doable with some extra pass-through parameters - Standings Table End will need to know about ties, division standings, win percent, etc. [[User:DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:red;">'''De'''</span>]][[User Talk:DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:green;">'''Fault'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/DeFaultRyan|<span style="color:blue;">'''Ryan'''</span>]] 16:13, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
***Alright, I think I'll just hold off for a while until IE 8 market share drops off although that'll be a couple years (IE 9 and IE '''''7''''' have equal market share right now).  I wish people would just upgrade frequently. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 00:11, 25 October 2011 (UTC)
****Oh, believe me, as a software developer, I share your sentiment, especially when it comes to software that fails to conform to standards (IE 9 was a big step forward, but still falls short of Chrome). I think [http://www.getclicky.com/marketshare/global/web-browsers/internet-explorer/ this] is fairly telling. It seems to imply that as many as 25% of IE 8 users are only using it during the week at their workplace (as I am), which would then imply that most of the public are using more up-to-date technology at home than what their professional IT staff provide. Amusing. By the way, which browser were you using that displayed the test cases correctly?

*****I used Firefox 7, IE 9, and Chrome 14.  I thought I had my bases covered but neglected the old version scenario.  Your workplace commentary reminds me of the ridiculous time when my employer's IT finally upgraded us to IE 7 during the same month that I upgraded to IE 8.  They narrowly missed being two versions behind by a couple weeks; I would have gone nuts back then if I had to use IE 6 at work and IE 8 at home. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 00:58, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
*****I realize Chrome 15's only been out for a few hours, but to avert hypocrisy, I've upgraded.  (The tables look fine there too.) @#&$ IE 8. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 01:10, 26 October 2011 (UTC)
******Been a few months, and IE8 continues to slowly erode. At least IE7 is in its death throes, and IE9 is narrowing the gap. IE 8 has now been passed by Chrome 16, but it's still the second most popular single version around, with a 16% share on workdays and a 12% share on the weekends. Still being forced to use it at work. I hate that piece of junk.

== Football standings date ==

It was my intention to update the date when all of today's games are over. Changing it before all of the games are in suggests, to me, that the standings are complete as of today's games, but they aren't. [[User:MrArticleOne|MrArticleOne]] ([[User talk:MrArticleOne|talk]]) 22:18, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
*The problem with doing that is if some of today's games are updated while the table still has the old date, there have been instances where some users think the earlier games aren't included, so if that happened today, you would see some users changing Nebraska to 8–1, for instance. In other words, updating today's earlier games while leaving the date from last week suggests that those earlier game's team's W-L records are from last week. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 22:23, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
**Maybe we just shouldn't put a date? [[User:MrArticleOne|MrArticleOne]] ([[User talk:MrArticleOne|talk]]) 22:32, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
***That would require an across-the-board change of the standings tables standards, as the standings tables for all seasons in all sports have the date on them.  Also, to elaborate on my previous concern, there have also been issues of no one updating the date even after all the games are over and a similar problem when people update the rankings but not the dates after the polls come out.

Since I've seen you around a lot on the Stanford sports pages, I thought you might want to join the group in preparation for beating Cal this week (and licking our wounds from that other unmentionable game on Saturday). --[[User:Esprqii|Esprqii]] ([[User talk:Esprqii|talk]]) 17:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
*Thank you for telling me.  I did not realize that had started.  Even though you've seen me on the sports pages, I've done a lot more on alumni biographies, particularly judges and politicians.  I've also added lots of alumni to [[List of Stanford University people]].  I'm definitely joining. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 03:11, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, a stunner. Does Lane Kiffin have a mouth full of dip?? [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 04:30, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
*Indeed, and Baylor's on the verge of knocking off Oklahoma too.  What a crazy week.  <small>(It's probably a good idea for Kiffin to keep wearing that snowman clothing. It must bring good luck.)</small> [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 04:32, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
**Hehe. It'll be all SEC (plus Boise State) at the top. You know I'm rooting for Bama. I still don't know how to feel about Kiffin--he was kind of an ass at UT--and I thought Oregon played great in the second half, but still--if all but one of those one-loss teams become two-loss teams (and Stanford is not having an easy game), I'll be happy. Take it easy! [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 04:41, 20 November 2011 (UTC)

== conference standings ==

First off, not all standings templates list the date. Second, ones that do I always update. Third, I don't change the date until every game from that day has been played because to me that would mean that it's updated for every game through that day. So please don't waste my time by putting useless reminders on my talk page. And as of right now the mountain west standings aren't even updated yet you changed the date, thus through November 19 Boise State is 8–1, which isn't true. So at least have everything updated before telling me to do it right.[[User:Bsuorangecrush|Bsuorangecrush]] ([[User talk:Bsuorangecrush|talk]]) 07:49, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
*Firstly, it was obviously implied that my reminder was only applicable to templates.  Secondly, the only reason I posted the reminder is that you had updated the Mountain West football template without updating the date.  Thirdly, the template documentation says the date should show when the standings table was "most recently updated."  I updated the date of the Mountain West standings ''before'' the Boise State-San Diego State and the UNLV-Air Force games but ''after'' the Wyoming-New Mexico and TCU-Colorado State games. Finally, your hostile tone is completely unnecessary; I put a polite reminder, and you could have simply explained your disagreement without the invective.

Hi OCNative, since you are an admin and a member of wiki project college football, I am wondering if you would be willing to review the [[2011 Michigan vs. Notre Dame football game]] article that was recently created. I do not see how it meets [[Wikipedia:Notability_(sports)#Individual_games_or_series|notability]], and gave my thoughts on the [[Talk:2011 Michigan vs. Notre Dame football game|talk page]] and tagged it for notability. The game itself is already covered extensively in both the [[2011_Michigan_Wolverines_football_team#vs._Notre_Dame|2011 Michigan Wolverines football team game capsule]] section as well as the [[Michigan-Notre Dame rivalry]] page.

Hi. Following your revision of the [[Elections in Estonia]] article on 8 June 2011, two additional links appeared in the Languages section of the left-hand sidebar: namely, to [[:id:Templat:Pemilu Parlemen Estonia 2011]] in Indonesian and [[:ee:2011. aasta Riigikogu valimised]] in Estonian.

The former is a template, not an article; and the latter is more properly the interwiki link from [[Estonian parliamentary election, 2011]].

==Requesting protection of several Notre Dame football pages==
Hi OC, I know you occasionally edit Notre Dame pages. I am requesting protection for the [[2012 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team]] and for [[Notre Dame Fighting Irish football]] through the 2013 National title game. I am already starting to see reverted edits by established editors on these pages and I think to make all our lives easier it would be prudent to protect these pages, given the magnitude of two of the top teams in college football playing for the title and the media circus that is sure to ensue. Thanks![[User:Tedmoseby|Tedmoseby]] ([[User talk:Tedmoseby|talk]]) 01:22, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
*Ted, unfortunately, I am not an admin and do not have the ability to protect the page. Thanks, [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 04:12, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

*I figured you needed dramatic thanks for your hard work.  I undid some of the IP's hairier logo edits in Oregon State and Washington State.

Hi,
Per [[Template:CFB Standings End/doc]], the proper manner to display the date and time of the template's last update is by using five tildes (<nowiki>~~~~~</nowiki>) to generate something like this: 04:11, 1 December 2013 (UTC).<br>

Dear fellow Wikipedian,

The Southern California Wikipedia community has two exciting events coming up in the next few weeks: a Wik-Ed Women editing session downtown designed to combat systemic bias, and a Wikipedia Loves Libraries event at UC Riverside!

'''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women]]''' is a new monthly series of informal Wikipedia editing sessions for Los Angeles women-in-the-arts (though all are welcome) to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia, specifically expanding content about women artists.  This second session will take place on Tuesday, October 7 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown.  Please [[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|RSVP here]] if you plan to attend.

The '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Riverside/WLL/2014|UC Riverside Wikipedia Loves Libraries event]]''' is an edit-a-thon targeting articles related to UC Riverside, SoCal, and beyond.  Join students and faculty learning how to edit!  This event will take place on Thursday, October 16 from 10am to 4pm at UCR's Tomás Rivera Library. Again, RSVPs are requested [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Riverside/WLL/2014|here]]. 
 
I hope to see you there! [[User:Calliopejen1|Calliopejen1]] ([[User talk:Calliopejen1|talk]]) - via [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 20:47, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

==Image copyright issue==
You uploaded [[:File:FrankMerriam.jpg]] back in 2005 with a California government PD tag. That is now being questioned and along the way had a fair-use rationale added, so its status is confusing. Perhaps you can remember but have a look at the post [[WP:MCQ#Public domain or not?]] if you can assist. Nearly 10 years an editor! I'll catch up with you soon enough! Thanks [[User:Ww2censor|ww2censor]] ([[User talk:Ww2censor|talk]]) 17:50, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
:Wow, I added that a long time ago!  Luckily, I left enough info when I originally uploaded it.  It is definitely a California government image as it is a JPG from the California State Capitol Museum web site, but the JPG is simply a photo of the official painting of Governor Frank Merriam that has been hanging in the State Capitol since 1935 (there was even a minor controversy when it was put up in 1935 as all other governors had to leave office before getting their portrait put up, but Merriam insisted it be put up three years before he left office).  In 2006, the California government PD tag was declared invalid at Wikipedia due to lack of clarity, but the tag was resurrected in 2009 after ''[[County of Santa Clara v. California First Amendment Coalition]]''.  I know some photos were deleted while others received fair use tags.  I fear we may never know how many pre-2006 images were lost due to the 2006-2009 confusion about California government images. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 06:58, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks for clarifying. The source link no longer works but I found a painting on [http://governors.library.ca.gov/28-Merriam.html this webpage] which I presume is the one the headshot came from. This [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/08/national/08davis.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 ''New York Times''] page confirms the controversy you mention. The [https://web.archive.org/web/20060516102534/http://capitolmuseum.ca.gov/english/legislature/governors/links/personal/gov28.html Wayback Machine] has the original page but has no details of the artist or copyright. However, I found a link to what I presume to be [http://www.habingfamily.com/fh/obituaries/obituary.cfm?o_id=1310676&fh_id=10480 the artist's death]. That throws up the possibility the image copyright may not actually be a state work and might still be copyright until 2081 assuming he painted the portrait in question. Your thoughts? I'm sure you are right about the loss of some CA images but I'm pretty certain it would be rather difficult to find them again. [[User:Ww2censor|ww2censor]] ([[User talk:Ww2censor|talk]]) 11:07, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
:::I doubt that's the painter of this portrait, as he was born in 1922, which would have made him 13 years old at the time the portrait was put up. I very much doubt a 13-year-old was selected for this task. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 05:11, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Join library staff, the Redondo Beach Historical Society, and others to help improve Wikipedia's coverage of Redondo Beach!

Second, we have a '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wik-Ed Women|Wik-Ed Women editing session]]''' on Tuesday, February 17 from 6pm to 10pm at the Los Angeles Contemporary Archive downtown.

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

If you are the copyright holder for 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 '''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 '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org'''. 

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tl|non-free fair use}} 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=OCNative}} your upload log].

Thanks for all your edits to the [[2015 Stanford Cardinal football team]] article in the past year.

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the [[:File:Pete Knight.jpg|image description page]].

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion -->

== Regarding the images on [[Nodar Kumaritashvili]] ==

Hey just want to give an explanation for why I initially removed the two images on the article. I'm planning on submitting it to [[WP:FAC]] shortly (once my other article there finishes), and know that copyrighted images are always an issue. I felt this was even more a problem as the headshot is from the IOC, who are notorious for upholding their copyrights on things. However I will admit I am not an expert on the topic, so if you feel it is not an issue then alright. I don't plan on removing them again, unless it comes up during the FAC nomination, though if you want I can notify you on that regard to lobby for their inclusion. I'd also add that I definitely support having them there, and agree the image of the crash, as terrible as it is, should be part of the article; I only removed it because of the status of the issue, nothing more.

== Help with ''Congressional Institute'' article ==

Hi OCNative! I'm looking for help with a COI request relating to a US political organization and wondered if you might be interested? (I came across your name looking through WikiProject Politics participants and noted that you're an active editor.) On behalf of the '''[[Congressional Institute]]''', I'm seeking to update the organization's article, which is currently a bit of a mess. The existing content of the article is overly detailed, promotional for the organization, has inline external links, and lacks proper sourcing. The new draft  trims the whole article down and provides thorough sourcing. The edit request [[Talk:Congressional_Institute|on the Talk page here]] provides more details about the changes. As I have a COI (I'm working for the Institute as part of my work with Beutler Ink) I won't edit the article directly and instead prefer for an uninvolved editor to review the draft and take the new draft live if appropriate. Is this something you might be interested to help with? Thanks in advance!

== Replaceable fair use File:CulbertOlson.jpg ==
[[File:Ambox warning.svg|32px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:CulbertOlson.jpg]]'''. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]]. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]]. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have ''no free equivalent''; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:File:CulbertOlson.jpg|the file description page]] and add the text <code><nowiki>{{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}</nowiki></code> '''below''' the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <code><your reason></code> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
# On [[File talk:CulbertOlson.jpg|the file discussion page]], write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

Hello, and thank you for your message! I'll leave it to your discretion whether or not to leave the edit that I made so long ago. I failed to provide a citation for the information - I ''believe'' I got it from Carolly Erickson's biography ''Great Harry'' but I'm not positive - so with that not present I'm unsure whether it should remain or not.

Thanks for identifying the source of the material in [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Federal_Supreme_Court_of_the_United_Arab_Emirates&diff=998195500 your edit].

This type of edit does get picked up by [https://tools.wmflabs.org/copypatrol/en Copy Patrol] and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at [[Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia]]? In particular, adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known,  even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that you need to be crossed.[[User:Sphilbrick|<span style="color:#000E2F;padding:0 4px;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">S Philbrick</span>]][[User talk:Sphilbrick|<span style=";padding:0 4px;color:# 000;font-family: Copperplate Gothic Light">(Talk)</span>]] 14:37, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Dear OCNative,

You're invited to a zoom call, taking place on February 11, with the goal of improving the article on [[Los Angeles]] to [[WP:Featured article|Featured article]] status! I often find it daunting to approach the Big Subjects on my own—so if you, like me, want a time to sit down with fellow dedicated editors and tackle something important and complex, this is the zoom for you! I, unfortunately, have no way to transmit snacks over zoom; but I trust you to exercise good judgement and discretion in selecting snacks of your own. Hope to see you there—if you're interested, '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/Los Angeles/LA to FA 2022|add your name here]]'''!

All of the start off with 2603:8001:2902:64F4 and they have the same interest in Los Angeles and California politics, in which they've removed the word "nonpartisan" from the most recent LA mayoral elections because they somehow think people can confuse the word nonpartisan with a political parties.

==  [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:List of presidents of Egypt by time in office]] ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:List of presidents of Egypt by time in office]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
<blockquote>'''[[WP:FAILN]]: No sources referenced; [[List of presidents of Egypt]] covers most of the same info.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:List of presidents of Egypt by time in office|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:CanonNi|CanonNi]] ([[User talk:CanonNi|talk]]) 07:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

== July 2024 ==

Hi,

I've noticed that on the [[2024 shooting at a Donald Trump rally]] article, some of your edit summaries mention "Today is July 13" or something similar when changing access dates. Please note that in other timezones, it is currently July 14, so the July 14 access dates are accurate and do not need to be changed.

Thanks, [[User:David O. Johnson|David O. Johnson]] ([[User talk:David O. Johnson|talk]]) 02:29, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

:I get that it is July 14 in other timezones.  I deal with this as a resident of the West Coast of the U.S., when it is 9:30 PM PDT of July 13, it will be 12:30 AM EDT of July 14.  It's just bizarre that U.S. articles are being cited as accessed on July 14 when it's still July 13 in the U.S., and more significantly, some of these refs were claiming July 14 publication dates when the articles themselves say July 13 as their publication date.  Note that I left the July 14 dates alone on the section on the international reactions from leaders in Europe, Israel, Australia, and New Zealand because those were July 14 there. [[User:OCNative|OCNative]] ([[User talk:OCNative#top|talk]]) 02:35, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
::Publication dates should absolutely be in the time zone they were published, agree with you on that (ie. US sources that publish on 13/07 should say published on 13/07). The access date should be UTC though, and this isn't directly correlated to the publish date. I also fixed [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2024_shooting_at_a_Donald_Trump_rally&diff=prev&oldid=1234379078 this one] that got caught up in the changes.

Hi OCNative, I see that you had contributed to the [[List of Yale University people]] and that you have an interest in politics. I have some material to add to [[Scott Bessent]]'s Wikipedia article. He is a Yale alum who is involved in politics, so I'm hoping that you will take a look at the edit request I have posted [[Talk:Scott_Bessent#Additional_edits_to_page|here]]. Would you consider adding the information to the article?

== Invitation to participate in a research ==

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/962595?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,
