[edit] Babel template

Hi. In your user page, you have used the native speaker template for English. Since you are Brazilian, even if your level of proficiency in the language is extremely high, I'd recommend you switch to the near-native template. It's a en-4 template, for those who speak English as well as a native, but are in fact not native speakers. Cheers, Redux 02:57, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion

Hi Fbergo. You recently marked several articles for speedy deletion. The reason given was Ad of non-notable company. I don't think that this is an accepted WP:CSD. In my opinion, these articles ought to go to WP:VfD. Pburka 19:11, August 6, 2005 (UTC)

The articles I marked for speedy deletion were all added in a close time period by the same user, who also wrote a self-biographical wikipedia article (this one I added to VfD as recommended by the policy -- K.Grafstein). According to Wikipedia:Deletion_of_vanity_articles, vanity articles which are certain to be non-notable (as was the case - the user was adding the small businesses of his own as articles) may be tagged for speedy deletion. Next time I will use VfD instead, but maybe the policy could be clearer on Ads of non-notable companies (as opposed to people) ?. Regards, Fbergo 00:38, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

As currently worded, the policy only applies to real people (i.e. not fictional characters, companies, etc). There was quite a bit of debate about this, and the general consensus was that the criteria should be as narrow as possible to prevent abuse. Pburka 01:40, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Yep, I was going to say the same having just noticed this. Could you please take Grafstein-Telecom through the full VFD process, as advertising is not a vaid CSD. Ask me if you need any help. Glad you already responded favorably to using more caution. Thanks! Dmcdevit·t 06:59, August 7, 2005 (UTC)

Someone else already did. Again, I apologize for choosing the wrong method to deal with the case. Fbergo 20:06, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Erico Verissimo

Bom dia,

Desculpe por meu imediatismo. Eu achava que Érico Veríssimo se escrevesse como um nome brasileiro. Já vi que estava errado.

Até,

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BluesAtSunset.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BluesAtSunset.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. User:Angr 20:08, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
