[edit] Greek singers or Macedonian singers

Be careful about the WP:3RR. I have answered your question and there is no need to start an edit war. I will revert in this case. If this matter persists, please take it to Meditation or Request for Comment since it is more a political matter. Dr Debug (Talk) 20:13, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Ok, he beat me to it. In general, you are right. The same principle applies to Cyprus; Cypriot people should be tagged as Cypriots, not as Greeks or Turks. The categories are devided by citizenship, not by ethnicity. BTW, you user page will look nicer if you change "Babel-9" to "Babel-2". The number refers to the number of languages listed. Best regards, and welcome to Wikipedia. --Valentinian 20:43, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Please stop removing "Macedonian" from all the Greek artists, as you have been doing. There are Slav Macedonians and Greek Macedonians, but the category "Macedonians" clearly refers to both. Your position is as absurd as someone saying that the Pope is not Christian because he is Catholic. Αίσχος. Πως μπορείς να δικαιολογήσεις την συμπεριφορά σου; Sysin 23:08, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
Λες ότι η μητρική σου γλώσσα είναι τα ελληνικά, αλλά γράφεις το 'η' σαν 'ει' και λέξεις όπως "σιφονο" και "κατεγορια". Σας δίνει το ελληνικό κράτος άδειες παραμονής, και αντί να λέτε ευχαριστώ, το παίζετε πέμπτη φάλαγγα. Και πάλι: Αίσχος. Mihalis 05:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)


OK, I take it back. You should not state that Greek is your native tongue when, in fact, you can't spell the word 'η'; it's as if an english speaker can't spell the word 'the'. It makes it appear that you are trying to deceive someone - and that's the reason for my harsh comments. I also grew up in the U.S., and I don't pretend to be a 'native' speaker of Greek. (and I also have to say, as a native speaker of brouklika, that you text did not appear Greek-American to me; I would have noticed. but I digress...)
That was not meant to "trick" or "fool" anyone but to show people the languages which I understand fluently. I'm still new on the site and still learning the rules and my way around here. Which is why I have my user page listed as "Under Construction". If you notice on my talk page Valentinian also corrected me on what "Babel-#" means. As for my spelling mistakes, like I said I speak, understand and read Greek fluently but have a hard time writting it especially when my computer does not have Greek characters. Converting Latin letters into Greek is not as easy. ~Mallaccaos, 10 February 2006
If you are so concerned about the proper usage of categories, you should have done something about the name of the categories first. They are named "Macedonian singers", "Macedonian artists", etc, not "Singers from the RoM". Their name implies that they include all Macedonians. If their definition is to be limited to the country, their name should reflect that. sys < in 05:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I wasn't aware that I could change the categories, I thought adding/changing sub-categories are done by admins? Am I wrong about this? BTW, I'm asking a question not being "sarcastic". Like I said numerious times before, the way the categories are set up now, by putting Greek singers under categories where it specifically says By nationalities implies those singers are from FyRoM. I've asked you numerious times what can be done to change this, threw some ideas out there that Valentinian has suggested but have not yet gotten an answer back or any ideas. Instead all I get are correction my spelling mistakes. ~Mallaccaos, 10 February 2006
You most certainly can. In this case, there are not a lot of entries in these categories, so it is easy to change them manually without the use of an automated process. If you want, go ahead and I'll support you. The reason that this was not needed right now was that the content of the categories (artists from the entire Macedonian region) accurately reflected their title. sys < in 17:57, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evi Adam

Your revert of my edits involved a number of changes from good to bad English and from correct Wikipedia style to incorrect. Please don't revert wholesale like this. Note also that lists of magazine covers, etc., have been discussed on other articles, and the consensus is that they're inappropriate. "Vital statistic", aside from being objectionable to many people, are inappropriate for an encyclopædia (aside from anything else, they're changeable overnight). With regard to categories, parent categories aren't give (thus Category:Greek people is the parent of Category:Greek models, so only the latter should be used). Fair-use images shouldn't be overdone; one is enough, especially on a short article like this one; more than one isn't fair use.

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:Edit summary text box

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

--Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

To create a category you can either go to a similar category and modify the address in the address box of your browser, or place a link with the desired name (e.g., Category:Greek deep-dea divers on a page (perhaps the sandbox; in this case, use the one in my message above), and then click on the link. You can then create the category just like any article, adding the parent categories in the way you normally add categories to articles. When naming a category, it's best to look at how other categories of the same type are named. For example, you wouldn't want to create a category called Category:Deep-sea divers from Greece). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:29, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I shoudl have said: it's a good idea to look at similar categories to see what other parent categories might be suitable. For example, Category:Models by nationality. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:46, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 0% for major edits and 0% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 1 minor edits outside the Wikipedia, User, Image, and all Talk namespaces.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear inpolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 03:28, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Categories

Gia su, Mallaccao,

Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you've been very busy in categorising Greek people lately and have been setting up new categories indicating where people are from. I think this is a bit premature as there are many Greek categories out there which are completely underpopulated. In addition, this is the English-language Wikipedia and terms like Attiki, Kritiki and Macedon mean nothing to 99.9 percent of the people using it. I suggest you talk to other Greek users of Wikipedia before rushing to create new categories. A good place to announce your intentions would be the Greek Wikipedians' notice board.--Damac 14:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Characters of The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants

Hi, generally characters in fictional works don't get their own articles. In Wikipedia:Notability (fiction), "Major characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be covered within the article on that work of fiction. If the article on the work itself becomes long, then giving major characters an article of their own is good practice." As it stands now, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants could use some expansion. Perhaps the two articles for the characters could be merged? --Christopherlin 04:19, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Herbert von Karajan

Hi Mallaccaos. Thanks for investigating the issue. I've restored the section in rewritten form with the Kozani version. It is perhaps not an ideal source, but at least we now have a reference. If somebody finds a really good source saying otherwise, the article can always be updated. Regards Valentinian (talk) 20:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (Image:Anastasia Perraki1.jpg)

Hello, Why have you listed the Image:Anastasia Perraki1.jpg for for deletion? Regards. ~Mallaccaos, 17 May 2006

Hi, Mallaccaos. This image is a magazine cover, and as such, it can only be used in an article aboutthe magazine itself. The current use of this image illustrating the Anastasia Perraki article is not acceptable. It's not fair use.
I'm sure there should be some free pictures available for using in this article. Our role as good Wikipedians is to find them. Regards, --Abu Badali 22:18, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Abu badali. I've read the discussion over at the Template_talk:Magazinecover and from what I gather there is no clear and conlusive restrictions reached that the magazine covers, in this case at the Image:Anastasia Perraki1.jpg, can not be used. Plus it mentioned the magazine in the Anastasia Perraki article since she worked as a model for it. and the modeling agency she works for, from where the picture comes from is hyper-linked on the image page. Regards. ~Mallaccaos, 17 May 2006
Mallaccaos, I'm affraid I don't agree with you. In Template_talk:Magazinecover, there were some objections, but all were refurted based on already existing Wikipedia policies.
By the way, mentioning the magazine just for justifying the fair use claim is no good.
Please note that all such images can bring to Wikipedia is trouble. See the Talk:Halle Berry aticle for a case where the persistence against the misuse of fair use images made some users to come up with a completly free image of these actress. Regards, --Abu Badali 22:45, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Abu badali, I've read the Talk:Halle Berry aticle as well as the Template_talk:Magazinecover and Template:Magazinecover. I do not see anything which places the Image:Anastasia Perraki1.jpg on grounds for deletion. I've read the Template:Magazinecover template rules. Were are these specific Wikipedia policies in which the objections from the Template_talk:Magazinecover have all been refurted and resolved with images being absolutely deleted? By the way, the magazine is not mentioned in the article just to justify the fair use claim policies. Its mention was in the article from day one, before I even picked which picture to up load for the article, because it talks about the modeling jobs she has had. I didn't even realize I was following Wikipedia rules when I did it since I just now noticed that such a rule for magazine covers exist. Regard. ~Mallaccaos, 17 May 2006
To make a long history short...
  1. The image is now tagged {{Promotional}}, which is cleary a mistake. It is a {{Magazinecover}}.
  2. According to the text on Template:Magazinecover (that you have read), magazine covers can only be used to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question, which is not the case here.
  3. Orphaned fair use images are to be deleted (see {{orfud}}.
  4. Someone even tried to change] the {{Magazinecover}} template for allowing this kind of use. But his change was promptly reverted as it was against the item #7 on WP:Fair_use#Images.
Any other problem, just let me know. Best regards, --Abu Badali 00:45, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

I've been looking at your changes over at Macedonia related articles, and thought I should say hello. You've made quite a few changes and I haven't had the time to study them yet, although the general impression looks pretty good. Feel free to bug me if you need something...  NikoSilver  (T) @ (C) 12:42, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Maria Stephanos article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

[edit] Manto Mavrogenous images

Hi Malloaccaos, thanks for uploading Image:Manto Mavrogenous2.jpg and Image:Manto mavrogenous.jpg. However, I think you might run into copyright problems with the "bookcover" license tag you have chosen. First, the pictures don't really look like book covers, second you didn't name the book, and third, as I understand it, the "bookcover" fair-use rationale works only for the use of a picture to illustrate an article about the book. - However, I think there may be a legitimate way out: There's another license tag that says that photographs of paintings are "public domain" if the original painter has been dead for so many years (70 or 100), if I remember correctly. That's probably applicable, could you check please? Thanks, Lukas (T.|@) 09:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reacting so quickly. Actually, I've made another correction (hopefully), I dug out the actual tag I was thinking of: {PD-art}, which seems more applicable. If anybody is very cautious they might still ask you for proof that the pictures are really that old - I assumed just on the basis of the style that they were from the period. Lukas (T.|@) 20:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Another one: Your new Wonderwoman pictures can certainly not be tagged {PD-art}. That's only for works whose creators died more than a hundred years ago! I don't know what exactly is more appropriate here, probably some variant of "fair use", as long as you use them only to illustrate the articles about these particular figures. I'd strongly recommend you read up on the relevant policies before uploading any other pictures. Take care, Lukas (T.|@) 09:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Yep, that one must be it. Lukas (T.|@) 16:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greek Sweets of the Spoon

this page has parts that are a direct copy-paste of here and as such are a violation of copyright... Please see here on how to fix the problem. Also on the talk page I left you a note as to WP:NOT... ΣcoPhreek contribstalk→ 06:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Moved from Talk page of article

WP:NOT *8 Instruction manuals - while Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places, and things, Wikipedia articles should not include instruction - advice ( legal, medical, or otherwise), suggestions, or contain "how-to"s. This includes tutorials, walk-throughs, instruction manuals, video game guides, and recipes. Wikibooks is a Wikipedia sister-project which is better suited for such things. Note that this does not apply to the Wikipedia: namespace, where "how-to"s relevant to editing Wikipedia itself are appropriate, such as Wikipedia:How to draw a diagram with Dia. If you're interested in a how-to style manual, you may want to look at Wikihow.

Not that you didn't work hard but this is not an appropriate article for the above listed reason.... ΣcoPhreek contribstalk→ 05:39, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
It would have been much appreciated if peoples articles are not deleted before given the editor of the article to make corrections, or chances on issues raised within articles before hand. ~Mallaccaos, 7 June 2006
While I do understand your frustration, the article violated several policies of wikipedia (noted above), If you had taken the copyrighted material out of it and the "how-to" section you would have been left with an empty article. Since that is what there currently is, you can start over with a clean slate. Make sure to rewrite information you find on the web into your own words, avoid plagerism, verify the availability of your images (don't just stick a GFDL tag on an image you find), and I'm sure you'll have a great article.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Tatiana Papamoschou.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tatiana Papamoschou.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 12:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ford-Elena 430.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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 this link.

This is a last warning. Don't upload any more images until you have a thorough understanding of our license and copyright rules. Any more potential copyright infringement will result in this account being blocked. Jkelly 20:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Blocks are supposed to be prevantive, not punitive; if you're not going to upload any more images, there's no danger to the project, and no reason to block. If you are concerned about any of your previous image uploads, please re-evaluate them. You can use {{db-author}} to have any that seem like they might be trouble deleted. Please feel free to ask me about any that you are unsure about. Jkelly 21:16, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Shaya2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shaya2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On 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 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 this link. 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 criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok 16:09, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Alden Partridge Colvocoresses & Gretchen Herrboldt Hahn.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Alden Partridge Colvocoresses & Gretchen Herrboldt Hahn.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 claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. 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 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 "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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

  2. On 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Eva Kaili.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Eva Kaili.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 a justification explaining 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 20:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
