Orphaned non-free media (Image:10th of foot logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:10th of foot logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 "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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:28, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Rating query

Hi you just rated Battle of Mont St Quentin as

Referencing and citation: criterion not met
Coverage and accuracy: criterion not met

I would appreciate advice as to what gaps you thought there were. Regards --Matilda ^talk 05:15, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

D Tools

Hello, My article for d-tools was fladded and I was wondering why. I used AutoCAD company entry format as a reference so I am wondering why their entry is allowed and mine isnt? Can you tell me ways to improve this? thanks! Jillems (talk) 23:25, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

haha yeah, thanks but d-tools has been around for 10 years(founded in 1998) and although it is a niche market, it is the industry leader within that market and has won many significant awards for their achievments. In addition, AutoCAD is one of their partners and a significant component of it's product. So I dont think its necessarily a "poor" comparison. Jillems (talk) 23:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, thank you so much! I will do that. Appreciate the feedback! how long do I typically have to add some more notable references etc before deletion? Thanks again! Jillems (talk) 23:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Article dropped off at User:Legotech/SandboxRawlesArticle. Please keep the note at the top attached if you move it around. Deiz talk 13:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Here is another reference for that article for you: http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/04/28/2228908.htm

(The Australian radio interview (and web article) that Rawles mentioned in his blog yesterday.) Thanks again for your efforts! Cheers, -- Jeff Trasel (talk) 02:43, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

---

The consensus now seems to be that Jim Rawles is notable. The considerably revamped article now has 53 references, only a few of which point to his web site, and even those meet the test of WP:SELFPUB. All of the rest of the references are verifiable, third party, and in large proportion from reliable hard copy publications. So, can the article's Notability and Self-published flags now be dropped? (I'd prefer that you do so, since I promised to do nothing but add references and annotate/clarify text pointing to those references.) Thanks. And, BTW, thanks again for your input. -- Trasel (talk) 22:41, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion about the name you say you like...

I was browsing ANI and came across the Sock farm conversation. If you really like the user name "This name is a stub. You can help by expanding it" you could always try usurping it or creating it with the ending period to make it a bit more grammatically correct. If you weren't serious, no big deal, but it is just a thought. Have a nice day. :) - LA @ 06:02, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Albums may not be deleted by speedy, only WP:PROD or WP:CSD, so As reviewing administrator, I changed your speedy to a Prod. DGG (talk) 22:01, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Multiple AfDs

Hey there. I notice you've recently nominated lots of Gob songs and album articles for deletion, using the same deletion rationale for each. In future, consider nominating groups of related articles with similar rationales together - see WP:BUNDLE. Thanks, —97198 talk 05:15, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries! I tried using Twinkle once but it didn't seem to agree with me ;) —97198 talk 05:22, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

In the future, please actually read WP:Music and read to see if an article actualy passes it or not before tagging an AFD on it. the Majority of the GOB albums you tagged are by a notable band released on a notable label. Why did you do that? do you not like GOB? If so, please don't take it out on there wikipedia articles. [The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 20:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

The albums should still have WP:RS and not just a track listing. The albums may have been an error, but the songs were not and had you not WP:OWNed the articles and actually read WP:Music regarding individual song tracks, I wouldn't have had to take any of it to AfD. Instead, you removed the Prod and I had no choice but to take all of the ones that fail WP:Music to AfD (there were some that had enough reason to have their own article, I left those be). If I come across other bands that have every song listed, I'll list those that belong gone at AfD as well. Nothing against your band. If you don't like the policy, work to change it, otherwise, work within it. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 22:08, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

First off, GOB isn't 'my band' as you put earlier. I simply happen to be a fan of them. Secondly, i never WP:OWNed any of the articles, i simply created them. You must have me confused with another editor. You shouldn't punish Wikipedia. Please re-read WP:Music and make sure you read every little detail before nominating an album for an AfD again. - -[The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 02:21, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Please settle down. I have in fact read WP:Music and it states that songs do not get their own articles:

per WP:Music
Most songs do not merit an article and should redirect to another relevant article, such as for a prominent album or for the artist who wrote or prominently performed the song. Songs that have been ranked on national or significant music charts, that have won significant awards or honors or that have been performed independently by several notable artists, bands or groups are probably notable. A separate article is only appropriate when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged to articles about an artist or album.

So while you claim you are not WP:OWNing the articles, you are posting nasty comments all over the AfDs and continually coming to my talk page. If you do not like WP:Music, work to change it, but don't punish me for the policy. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 02:28, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

i'm not WP:OWNing the articles, it's not like i'm saying "NO, you may NOT edit the article. I created it and it's mine!". I'm open to changes. i removed the prod because i beleived that they were not necassary and the prod tag itself says that if you disagree with the prod, then remove it. I think we should both cool down a bit.. - -[The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 03:39, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

You seem to have made an error

You seem to have submitted an article of mine for speedy deletion, but the reason you gave "no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent" is patently false. Please explain yourself. Did you perhaps make a mistake? --Ceriel Nosforit (talk) 10:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, it looked all like squares to me... But I thought it was worth checking the links he was adding. Its valid work. You should perhaps apologize on his talk page, and remove the warnings.

VISUAL3D.NET

Regarding deletion of several images to do with VISUAL3D.net, I'm not sure exactly what happened, the article did infact exist it was removed without anyone notifying me, and the images were tied to that article.

"A tag has been placed on Visual3D.NET requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words."

What in the world are you talking about???? I AM a realmware employee and those are my words!!! Secondly, It's not copyright infringement when full permission is given by the company and by one of its employees!(sorry if i sound agitated, i spent alot of time on this article). You can view view my profile and contact me here(http://www.visual3d.net/forum/member.php?u=26)

Student Approaches to Learning

Can you explain to me what you would not mark as an essay according to Wikipedia's terms? I am angry about the removal of my entry about student apporaches to learning. It was an objective statement that sumamrised the views of a number of authors. That is what an encyclopdia entry does. It was not personal opinion and if that is defined as an essay then all of the articles here would have to be reomoved.

I am a senior UK academic and I have been a long term supporter of wikipedia amongst colleagues who treat it with the utmost contempt. I am beginning to agree with my colleagues views.Ardalby (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

SMV speedy delete

I would have put a {{hangon}} at the top of SMV (band), but unfortunately I was asleep when you left the speedy delete notice, and didn't see it until first thing this morning. AIUI, a group made up of notable members is by definition notable, per WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles #6. SMV, for now, qualifies more or less as a side project for all three musicians (Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten), as all have established careers on their own or with other groups, but while the redirect recommended by the notability guidelines would be appropriate for a true side project of a single notable musician, SMV is really more of a supergroup, all three being influential bassists, and a redirect would therefore, in my opinion, be inappropriate. Considering the notability of all its members, doesn't the group deserve its own article, despite the fact that it's newly-formed and therefore not much is known at this point? --Fru1tbat (talk) 13:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree on the point that notability is not inherited, as that seems to be exactly what the notability guidelines say. The guideline reads "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable", and in this case, all three members are otherwise notable. What am I missing? --Fru1tbat (talk) 13:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps you could contact the deleting admin and ask for a copy to be placed in your user space so that you can work in it? Here is the entire relevant section "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such, and that commonsense exceptions always apply." Perhaps at this time it appears as a side project of the members and once "It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable." it can be recreated.

describing a scene in Wall-E where the character appears does not add anything to an article about a different film that nobody knows anything about. All it is, is filler.

That's true, I often face that problem.

Next time something like this happens, I recommend approaching an admin directly and explaining your case. No point in an AfD for these kinds of things. Enigma ^message 05:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Operation COOKIE MONSTER

Damon Gameau

I admit that I had never heard of Damon Gameau either, but it seems a bit over-the-top that people should be so swift in wanting to delete a stub article which was created only an hour ago. He exists, and he is known in Australia, and hopefully should be better known internationally when Balibo comes out in the cinemas. I'm busy doing other things at the moment, but will add relevant information and links when I have more time. You are at liberty to add information yourself - if you want some, look at this Quiensabe (talk) 08:58, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Next time you would like to start an article that won't get tagged, make it more than one sentence. I'm sorry, but exactly how is "Damon Gameau is an Australian actor." an encyclopedia article? I mean, if you can't be bothered to write an article, why should the person checking the new pages do it? It's sort of obnoxious to state that he was in "How I met your mother" he played the third guy from the left, not a true recurring character. If that is the quality of his work in Australia, I'm still not sure he should have an article here. LegoTech·(t)·(c) 10:02, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

It was only created within an hour, and I added more information later that day, during the course of a couple of hours. Sure, I was doing several things at the same time, including editing other pages, and linking pages to the one on him. If anybody's being obnoxious, it's people who pounce on an article and deem it unworthy of existence within an hour. So you'd never heard of him - neither had I, because neither of us are in Australia. So what? That doesn't mean his work is of no quality. Yeah, I mentioned How I Met Your Mother because it was more likely to known to non-Australian audiences. I'd never heard of Gyton Grantley, another actor in the Balibo film, because he isn't known outside Australia. Why should the person checking the new pages write an article? Because the whole point of Wikipedia is that people can and do. There are many articles which have plenty of information, which are nonsensical or inaccurate, and they are left unchallenged for months if not years. Quiensabe (talk) 14:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

I I understand it's difficult to find the time to write a complete article right off, can I suggest maybe that you use a sandbox? That will allow you the time to write an article without other editors coming along and tagging it up. As I understand how difficult it is to write an entire article at once, I would hope that you could understand how many new articles are created everyday and how many of them are absolute drivel about someone's dog, best friend, game they invented in study hall, so I would hope that you could start to see why an article that consists of a single sentence might get tagged for deletion.

Help with my article, please

Good morning, LegoTech; I hope you can help me resolve the issues as per flagged. I used to be MIS Supervisor of my office but that was ten years ago, and WOW things are very complicated now, but I want to learn this. I was enormously pleased to have learned to work with the special symbols and all, and it appears now, I have two challenges per your markings:

1. I found an old attachment from my publisher asking us authors to do several things and one was to post a wikipedia biography. I stumbled on it while deleting old files and blanched at never having done it, but the request may be sufficiently old that it exceeded your ruling about not posting one's own bio. I just followed the instructions on the attachment. Harcourt, my publisher, just became HMH, (Houghton-Mifflin Harcourt), so I can't even find the person who sent it to see if there is more instruction I was missing! How may I resolve this? Is there a special place it should be posted instead of where I did? Should I delete it and contact my publisher? I believe the article is important because I also teach college and maintain a web site, and many times students (I write for this age group) have asked me for info such as found on wiki that they can include on their papers when reviewing my books, etc.

2. I believe I "posted" without adding my links to the information enclosed. If I post the verifiable links to where else this info may be found, will that suffice some? All?

I really appreciate your help and speedy reading. This is challenging for the old geezers. Yours most gratefully, carol CarolPlumUcci (talk) 16:37, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

WP:UAA

Hiya - just to say that I've removed your two recent reports to WP:UAA - just having a company name isn't prohibited by the username policy per se. Since they haven't edited, it would be a bit unfair to block - if they edit and their edits are promotional then feel free to relist. _GB^T/C 19:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

coolies, I'll keep half an eye, but I'm sure someone else'll catch em if they step out of line :) Thanks for the clarification! LegoTech·(t)·(c) 19:47, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

No sooner said than done. _GB^T/C 19:57, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hoaxes aren't speedyable

Wish they were, but G1 says mostly not.

Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes; some of these, however, may be deleted as vandalism in blatant cases.

Thanks for keeping an eye out, though!--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:48, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you'd think G3 would cover it, but since G1 specifically mentions hoaxes, I think that has to take precedence.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive 29#Hoaxes for a short discussion on the subject.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:01, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Joss stone

We have already had these discussions on the talk page, but funk junkie refuses to leave pop on just because he persoanlly doesnt refer to her as pop. While a majority of websites say pop over anything else (700,000 pop, only 300,000 soul and r&b combined)She also has grammy nominations as pop. He also keeps changing her official site to her mirror site, just because the mirror is a UK site and she was born there. Even though when you clik alot of the links on the site it carries you back the the original jossstone.com. He just refuses everything and says that only his opinon matters.Swampfire (talk) 03:40, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

In fact, he went there today made a few edits then logged out using his IP to remove the Pop. He tried to say it wasnt him. But that was the first edit made with the IP that removed pop. Then that same IP went on to make edits on a few other pages. That with just a quick check he has also editted as funk junkie. So now he has reverted to sock puppetry. I am even trying to reasonable with him. In fact after i started proving that i caught him using a sock puppet. He went and added the stuff back. I hope he finally lets it go. In fact I aske him one question on his talk page. And that was if he really wanted me to start a sock puppet case against him. And on my page he replied that he did not want me to start one, and asked if i was willing to forget things. Which I am so i guess this has finaly resovled itself. Swampfire (talk) 02:53, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Ok so after admitting he sock puppeted to remove pop, and asked me not to pursue action against him for it. He goes back a day later and uses the sock puppet again. All you have to do is check the contribs in the IP address used, against Funk junkie contribs and you find all of the IP's contribs also in Funk Junkie. Along with the fact that funk has been mainly reverting the word (pop). And yet the first edit ever made with the IP was to go to Joss Stone's pafe and revert the word (pop). I think you can see now what type is being dealt with here.Swampfire (talk) 17:26, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

= why erase alone again, naturally?

what is the difference with all the other articles i created about third watch? i mean, why deleat it and not deleat every other episode? it has the same notability as, say, an episode of grey's anatomy. thank you. (could you please answer it in my talk page? thanks) Lucia (talk) 15:47, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

all of them????????????? are you kidding? it took us ages to do them...why erase third watch and not other shows? im sorry if this sounds angry, but it kind of is...its UNFAIR Lucia (talk) 18:50, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

is there a way in which we could not completely erase them? as in the case of the ER episodes where each episode does not have a webpage of its own? im sorry if i sounded childish before, but i quite understand the reason. Lucia (talk) 19:07, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

what i meant was not that, but making a box like the one in ER in which you can write a short description instead of having a link for each episode Lucia (talk) 14:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

this would be the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ER_episodes its better organized that way i think...see each episode doesnt have a webpage of its own. if you say yes i'll start the changes. XOX Lucia (talk) 14:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

ok im starting with the new design, and it may take me some time. i'll tell you when i finish and then i would be grateful if you helped. I will not change the current design until I finish it all. Thanks a lot for your help! Lucia (talk) 00:04, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

hey hi again! i've got season 1 and 2 ready, you can see them on my sandbox (i've got a link of my user page). It's going to take me a week to end season 3, 4, 5 and 6, but i'll let you know. Please let me know what you think, and if you want, change anything in the sandbox. Lucia (talk) 17:34, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Can you urgently help Milhist please?

We've had a rather large bombshell dropped on us. The Wikipedia editorial team are aiming to release a version of Wikipedia on CD/DVD in time for the end of year holiday season. They've provided us with a list of 1333 Milhist articles they intend including.

The problem is that the quality of these articles varies considerably.

We've put together review page listing all the articles, in twenty-five article worklists. I'm hoping that 15-20 trusted editors can work through the list, weedying out problem articles and identifying suitable versions for release. The work is as far away from a tagging and assessing drive as you can imagine though, for convenience and ease of use, we've closely followed the traditional Milhist drive format.

This is, at the moment, an invitation-only review. The reason is that time is short and we can't afford too many mistakes. I'm only contacting experienced editors who performed very well indeed in the last two Milhist drives. I guess that working through a worklist of twenty-five articles will take between one and three hours to do. We're aiming to get the preliminary work done by next Sunday, so it's urgent too.

I do hope you can help but – if it's not too much trouble – if you are unable to participate at the moment, would you please let me know on my talk page? Thank you for your time, --ROGER DAVIES ^talk 17:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:10th of foot logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:10th of foot logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 "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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Affichiste

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Affichiste, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non-notable dictionary definition (in French)

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Brianyoumans (talk) 15:53, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

You removed the proposed deletion process on the grounds that there had been several editors. But in this case, as you will see from the talk page, this indicates a fundamental disagreement conflict about exactly what an Affichiste is and the validity of the references. Unless these issues can be sorted out, I think the article may not survive. --RichardVeryard (talk) 02:40, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Affichiste

An article that you have been involved in editing, Affichiste, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Affichiste. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Brianyoumans (talk) 04:10, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
