List building

There are three basic steps to building a topic list for Wikipedia: the first is to search Wikipedia to make sure it doesn't already have a list on the subject. The second step is to hunt down every word you can find on the subject, from your own memory, books, web directories, dictionaries, etc. Surround each term with double square brackets, and save the page.

Because Wikipedia has become so extensive, don't be surprised if most or even all of the links turn out blue (those are live links, each leading to an article on Wikipedia). Dead-end links are red, but don't remove them, because they show what articles Wikipedia is missing — anyone can click on a red link to create an article on that topic. The third step is checking each live article in the list for links to related topics. When you find one, add it to the list.

Legislature geek in the house![edit]

I take delight in creating and editing articles about legislators, and have done a bit in Minnesota history as well; so if I can help in any way, please feel free to call on your cheesehead pal! --Orange Mike | Talk 03:18, 12 December 2017 (UTC) (in Milwaukee, although I was the Democratic Assembly nominee in my Tennessee hometown in 1974)[reply]

Awesome! Nice to meet you. I'm still getting the hang of this Wikipedia thing :-) -- I live in Minneapolis, but don't worry, I won't hold your presumable Packers allegiance against you :) Jas88934 (talk) 04:10, 12 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I thought you lived in St. Paul, Jake. Whichever, you shouldn't keep editing the articles of the people you work for. Strict Constructionist (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 19:00, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Rick. Jas88934 (talk) 02:22, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Official portrait of Minnesota State Senator Bill Weber.jpg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Official portrait of Minnesota State Senator Bill Weber.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim 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 (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 19:10, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Official leadership portrait of Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Official leadership portrait of Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the 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:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On 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, 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).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 04:08, 12 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
