Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

If you are interested, there is already a community of users who are roadfans or who edit articles about roads, just like you! Stop by any of these WikiProjects — WP:HWY (worldwide), WP:CRWP (Canada), WP:INR (India), WP:UKRD (United Kingdom), or WP:USRD (United States) — and contribute. For those in the United States, there is an excellent new user's guide. There is a wealth of information and resources for creating a great article. If you have questions about any of these WikiProjects, you can ask on each project's talk page, or you can ask me!

If you like communicating through IRC, feel free to ask questions at #wikipedia-en-roads as well. Here, there are several editors who are willing to answer your questions. For more information, see WP:HWY/IRC.

Again, welcome! Rschen7754 05:58, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

March 2011

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. Rschen7754 05:38, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Please practice with what Rschen7754 is saying, the summery field helps others what your intention is on the edit. Without it, some editors that watch certain pages will simply revert your edits as vandalism. --WashuOtaku (talk) 01:16, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Please discuss what you are trying to do with the article Interstate 84 (west) on the article talk page. I know you're intentions are honorable, however you've wiped out the portion of the article covering Utah, and are attempting to make the article focus on Idaho. If we can work together we can get something done. However, unless the article is fixed (i.e. Utah information restored, exit list moved back to the proper location, etc.) it will most likely get reverted back to the old version. Let's work together, not fight each other ok? Dave (talk) 18:43, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

For now, I have moved your addition of the exit list for Idaho on an Idaho detail page, and restored the Utah content you deleted. Please work with us to fill out the article Interstate 84 (Idaho), if it remains just an exit list, it will be deleted shortly. However, if you can work with us to create a useful article, it will stay as a nice addition to the US Roads project. Regards Dave (talk) 18:50, 4 May 2011 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:5253550.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:5253550.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 03:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MacMed_stalk 03:17, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

2010-11 Colorado State Rams men's bsketball team

Hi Lewisistheone1991. You can find the article (your latest revision) under the correct title: 2010-11 Colorado State Rams men's basketball team. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 10:19, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Your "new" articles for basketball season pages

Please do not just copy and paste the pre-existing articles with proper names, such as 2010–11 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team, into "new" articles such as 2010-11 Colorado Buffaloes men's basketball team. There should not be duplicate entries on an existing topic, and according to Misplaced Pages's Manual of Style, ndashes must be used to split calendar years, not hyphens. I've redirected all of the hyphenated versions of the articles you started to their appropriate pages. If you have questions about any of this let me know. Jrcla2 (talk) 18:03, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

2010-11 BYU Cougars men's basketball team

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 2010-11 BYU Cougars men's basketball team, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://interceder.net/list/Brandon-Davies.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Stop duplicating entries

Consider this an official warning to stop creating duplicate entries on basketball team seasons, especially since they're simply a copy/paste of the same article under the correct name. I will keep my eye on your new articles now, and if you keep it up I will be forced to bring this issue to an WP:ANI. Jrcla2 (talk) 22:15, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
