If you've still got questions, theFAQ and theHelp desk are good places to start. Listing yourself at thenew user log will likely guarantee a response from friendly fellow editors as well. If there's anything I can help with, don't hestitate todrop me a note on mytalk page -- just remember tosign your comments with four tildes (like this: ~~~~) and your signature will automatically be added.
Again,welcome!

Hey there. Love your BU edits. I am in the progress of making my user page and i am having problems with the placement/alignment/design of that page. I am pretty useless with compouter codes, so i hope you can help. thanks. --Bud20:35, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeh, I might have taken it too personally. Please see comments on the article now. You need to give me more direction as to what you object to.Wahkeenah20:08, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
When you "Went through and added/consolidated footnotes where possible" today in the BU article, you also scattered about a number of "citation needed" notes. I've seen Wikipedia guidance that suggests these should be used sparingly, as theycould be used in a great many places and imply an urgency that could not be met in that case.
In the specific case of your request for a citation in the "Early Years" part of the History section in connection with the statement "Kilgore describes this as the largest single donation to an American college or university to that time," I believe a citation is already present.
Before you went through and did your thing today, there were no footnotes to speak of and citations were less formal, usually a reference to an author listed at the end. That is what you have here. I can find you a page number if you really think it necessary, but the reference is to Kilgore's book. I've not yet learned the footnote method you've implemented, so you'll have to put it in that format if that is what you want.Pzavon00:48, 8 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Outstanding. That concourse looks like it hasn't changed since 1915 when it was built. Great stuff! d:)Wahkeenah00:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Please don't dothis. Not only does it make more work for people doing unfree image cleanup, it can make a mess of an article when the images are deleted. If you would like to argue for excluding logos fromWikipedia:Fair use criteria, there is an ongoing discussion atWikipedia talk:Logos.Jkelly02:38, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I noticed you are from Boston. I am looking for people to joinProject Boston in order to clean up and expand wikipedia articles directly related to Boston. If you feel like helping out please join up.Markco116:53, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On 6 February 2007 you removed categories related to BU's Methodist affilliation from the mainBoston University article because, as you said "BU no longer maintains any religious affilliation." BU as a University has not had a Methodist affiliation for many years. In fact, from the 1869 Charter I believe no part of the University other than Theology had a formal religious affiliation. I believe the School of Theology has maintained its affiliation from the beginning, thus making those category links appropriate.Pzavon03:10, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploadingImage:Agganis arena logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required byWikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have anexplanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as animage copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with ourcriteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at themedia copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.STBotI (talk)16:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
File:BUWestCampus.jpg is now available onWikimedia Commons asCommons:File:BUWestCampus.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:BUWestCampus.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk)17:42, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploadingFile:Buseal.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under aclaim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (seeour policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in anyarticles will be deleted after seven days, as described in thecriteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.Skier Dude2 (talk)05:09, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
