'''Wickford''' is a small village in the township of [[North Kingstown]], [[Rhode Island]] named after [[Wickford]] in [[Essex]], [[England]]. Wickford is located on the west side of [[Narragansett Bay]]. The village is built around one of the most well-protected natural harbors on the eatern seaboard, and features one of the largest collections of 18th century dwellings to be found anywhere in the northeast. Today the majority of the village's historic homes and buildings (most in private hands) remain largely intact upon their original foundations.

Hi, and welcome to the [[WP:NOVELS|Novels WikiProject]]! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often refered to as "Novels".
Wickford is generally said to have been established around 1637, when religious dissident and Rhode Island state founder [[Roger Williams]] bought a parcel of land from the sachem [[Canonicus]] and established a trading post there. Prior to [[European contact]], the lands in and around Wickford had long served as dwelling, fishing, and hunting grounds to the [[Narragansett (tribe)|Narragansett]] people, who were New England's most powerful and prominent tribe at the time when Williams found his way to their shores.
A few features that you might find helpful:
At about the same time as Williams' purchase, Richard Smith, a religious dissident from Gloucester, England who had originally settled in the Plymouth Colony's town of Taunton, established a trading post on Narragansett Bay near the mouth of Cocumscussoc Brook. In 1637, Smith built what appears to have been a rather grand, gabled house on the site, which Williams in his letters described as the first English house in the area. This house was also heavily fortified, and thus became known as ''Smith's Castle''.
* Our [[:Template:WPNOVELS|navigation box]] points to most of the useful pages within the project.
* The [[:Template:WikiProject_Novels_announcements|announcement and open task box]] is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including '''{{tl|WikiProject_Novels_announcements}}''' there. <br/>While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox '''{{tl|User WikiProject Novels}}'''.
* The project has a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach#Newsletter|monthly newsletter]]; it will normally be delivered as a link, but [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach#Delivery options|other methods]] are available.
During 1651 Smith purchased Roger Williams' trading post, and continued expanding his holdings over the years - building what came to be called the ''Cocumscussoc Plantation''. Smith's plantation became a center of social, religious and political life in the area. Many of the homes that were built during this bried period of expansion, however, were destroyed between 1675-1676 in the conflict called [[King Philip's War]]. One of the homes that went was Smith's Castle, which burned to the ground in 1676. Two years later, Richard Smith Jr. built a new home on the old foundation. Retaining the name "Smith's Castle," this structure remains standing today and is one of the area's most visited historic sites.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
Following King Philip's War, Wickford grew steadily as a port and shipbuilding center. To this day, the waterfront remains very active and hosts, among other fine vessels, the Dutch sailing yacht ''Brandaris''.
* Starting some new articles? Our [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels#ArticleTemplate|article structure guidelines / template]] outlines some things to include.
In 1755, painter [[Gilbert Stuart]] was born at Saunderstown, on the southern outskirts of Wickford, in a snuff-mill that still stands and is open to the public in season. Other famous residents have included novelist [[Owen Wister]], who for decades summered in a home just to the south of the village. Wickford was also home to Paule Stetson Loring, artist for ''Yachting Magazine'' and other publications, and longtime editorial page cartoonist for the ''Providence Journal''. A popular urban legend maintains that novelist [[John Updike]] hailed originally from Wickford - but this is not the case. Updike was born and raised in Pennsylvania. Updike did, however, use Wickford as the model for the fictional village of ''Eastwick'' in his novel, ''The Witches of Eastwick'' (Knopf: 1984).
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels#Members|members]], and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: [[User:Kevinalewis|<span style="color: #33C;">Kevinalewis</span>]] : [[User talk:Kevinalewis|<span style="color:#CC9900"><sup>(Talk Page)</sup></span>]]/[[User:Kevinalewis/Desk|<span style="color:#CC9900"><sub>(Desk)</sub></span>]] 09:18, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
(Nevertheless, a branch of the Updike, or Op Den Dyck, family was among the first settling families of Wickford; the original village was at one time called <i>Updike's Newtown</i>. The descendants of Richard Smith and Lodowick Updike intermarried and the Updikes were residents of Smith's Castle in the colonial era.)

The Wickford Art Festival - held in July of every year since 1962 and hosted by the Wickford Art Association - is one of the leading such events on the eastern seaboard, attracting hundreds of prominent artists and thousands of spectators from across the country and around the world.

== Person data ==
I saw you removed the person data from [[Ian McDiarmid]]. I've noticed this added to articles before and wondered what it was about, especially as it doesn't show up. It seemed pretty pointless. So I just looked it up and found this: [[Wikipedia:Persondata]]. From that, I think the information should be repeated: the article is for human consumption, the person data for machine processing. Therefore I think it's best to add the person data back into the article.

== Ian McDiarmid ==
I am glad if I can be of any help. I think the article is a decent introduction to McDiarmid's career. The only aspect missing is his long involvement with the works of playwright Howard Barker. I'll try to find enough data to insert a paragraph.<br>
Writing about McDiarmid isn't exactly easy, since he is very reticent when if comes to information about himself.

==Orphaned fair use image (Image:CharlesMSchulz.JPG)==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:CharlesMSchulz.JPG]]'''. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, the image is currently [[WP:O|orphaned]], meaning that it is 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. [[WP:BOLD|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 under fair use (see [[Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy|our fair use policy]]).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|my contributions]]" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Be careful about deleting articles because they are "meaningless." The articles you suggested both pass Wikipedia's standards for an article (based on the brief look I had), and keep in mind that while you might be bored with it, someone else might be interested.<br>

; '''From the [[User:Fbv65edel|founder]]'''
I am proud to present our first issue of the WikiProject Narnia Newsletter. I decided that we needed to alert everybody who had expressed interest in the project that there is much work to be done! Please check in every once in a while at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Narnia|the project talk page]], and tell other project members what you've been up to in terms of Narnia articles.

; '''Article of the Month: [[Edmund Pevensie]]'''
* Edmund Pevensie is a major character in [[The Chronicles of Narnia]]. He appears as a principal character in three of the seven books. Edmund was the second to enter [[Narnia (world)|Narnia]], although he tried to betray his siblings to the [[White Witch]]. However, Edmund managed to help save Narnia by neutralizing the White Witch's most powerful weapon, her wand.

==Unspecified source for [[:Image:Zahn_t.JPG]]==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Zahn_t.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]]. See [[Wikipedia: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 uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link]. '''Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the image is copyrighted under a [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|non-free license]] (per [[Wikipedia:Fair use]]) then '''the image will be deleted [[WP:CSD#I7|48 hours]] after 21:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)'''. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.

== Image:Zahn_t.JPG ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Zahn_t.JPG]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
# Go to [[:Image:Zahn_t.JPG|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:Zahn_t.JPG|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Replaceable --> [[User:Mecu|<font color="CEBE70">'''MECU'''</font>]]≈<small>[[User talk:Mecu|talk]]</small> 21:38, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Right now, the article still needs some work before it can be moved into the namespace. Namely, the table of contents should be transformed into the typical format, the font colors should be removed, and the page needs references. — '''[[User:Deckiller|Deckill]][[User talk:Deckiller|er]]''' 16:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
