[edit] John Henry

Hi Trade2tradewell. I noticed you recently created an article John W. Henry by cut-and-pasting from our older article John Henry (baseball). There are a few problems with this:

  1. We want to to focus everyone's effort on a single article, so we do not want to have two separate, nearly-identical, articles. If you want the article to be reachable from a different title, what you should do is create a redirect.
  2. You should never cut and paste content from one article to another without stating the source of the content in your edit summary. When you want to move entire articles, you should use the formal move function. Both of these actions help keep preserve a record of who contributed what content to the articles, and is very important for legal reasons.
  3. When you do create a new article, you do not need to list it at Articles for Creation. You only need to do that if you're notifying an unregistered user that you have created an article on their behalf.

Let me know if you have any questions. ×Meegs 00:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

I've responded to your page-move request on my talk page, here. Please remember to sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~). Thanks. ×Meegs 07:22, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image permission

Hi. I've responded very briefly to your question here. Regards. ×Meegs 21:03, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Peale.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Peale.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Dtepper.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dtepper.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation 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.

[edit] archive of newspapers online

List of online newspaper archives some are pay, but if you call a library in that city they will get it for you for free, if you find what your looking for in the index ahead of time. Are you looking for someone in the US? dead or alive? --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 20:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I have forwarded your request to C. Scott Ananian, who may have access to the libraries and be willing/able to do the in-depth examination that seems to be called for. He is cscott at cscott dot net. He is also on WP as User:cananian. William Ackerman 19:34, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] walled garden

Hi, A group of self-referential articles written to give a spurious reinforcement of the notability to a weakly notable entity. I'm getting the impression (perhaps wrongly) that this is currently happening around Steve Wisdom. To be distinguished from a series of articles written in good faith about a topic in which an editor is interested. Dlyons493 Talk 18:17, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Andrew Hageman

Hi, Having attended some of these games I think it's fair to say they are nowhere near the level of the Premiership. But if he actually does play, then there will be an argument for keeping the article. Does the Irish season start in two weeks? Dlyons493 Talk 09:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

We are in the middle of the season shows how closely I follow Irish Soccer these days :-) Dlyons493 Talk

Hi there. Given what you've said I can't really vote keep, since he hasn't played professionally yet, and my own (admittedly highly subjective and possibly overly stricy) interpretation on the "sufficient stature" clause, as regards football, is a top level club in one of the top seeded European or South American nations. Having said that I accept the rule is vague (you might be interested in the work going on at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football/Notability to try to set a clearer standard) so I don't think it would be fair to use it as a justification to delete. Technically if he hasn't yet played it should be deleted and re-created when he does finally play, but given that he's very likely to play when he comes back from injury that would probably be needless bureaucracy. I'm going to go ahead and remove my delete comment, then. If the article does get deleted, the when he plays his first game file the article at deletion review and drop me a line. Hopefully it won't come to that, though. --Daduzi talk 11:27, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Kellogg

Hello Trade2tradewell.

Having looked for (this) Peter Kellogg on Google, the only claim to notability that I could find for him was that he was rich largely due to his father. I can see that his father's firm meets WP:CORP (although the article on Spear, Leeds & Kellogg is minimal both in size and quality). I do not see that this person merits an article in his own right but I do not object to the redirect to Spear, Leeds & Kellogg that was proposed by this AfD's nominator.

Regards -- Alias Flood 03:51, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for drawing my attention to the problem with my vote. Since I find the redirect I thought I was proposing doesn't actually make any sense, I have revised my vote to "keep" for now, since -- from the number of references in the article -- it looks like there is actually a case to be made for notability. — Haeleth Talk 15:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The article is much better now that you have expanded it, and I certainly see no reason not to keep it now. I have added a note to the deletion discussion drawing people's attention to the fact that you have improved it since people voted to delete it. If it is deleted anyway without further discussion based on the improved version, let me know -- it is sometimes possible to have pages undeleted if the deletion was unfair. — Haeleth Talk 15:01, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your note. In light of this, I have amended my comment to Keep per expansion and cited notability. Thank you also for cleaning up the article in the way that you have. -- Alias Flood 01:01, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dinio

I don't judge those articles, i just correct them, but i do think that there must be lots or articles more before we have that oneGaudio 21:00, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PalestineFacts

You are absolutely right. I don´t know what I was thinking of! --must have been sleeping, or something. I will remove it at once, and I hope you (or somebody) will expand the article..Regards, Huldra 00:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] notes

In David Tepper the notes and references can be merged into one section. Thought I'd check with you before doing that. Zghost 17:58, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I worked on Delfin Fernandez a little. Left some notes on the talk page. Cheers. Zghost 09:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dinio

Perdona mi tardanza en contestar tu mensaje del 25 de Julio. Desgraciadamente, me parece que no voy a poder ayudarte mucho ya que mis conocimientos sobre Dinio son bastante escasos. Sin embargo, si piensas que algún ámbito en el que puedo ser útil sin saberlo yo mismo porque soy de España, no dudes en hacérmelo saber. MJGR 07:25, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] newspapers & magazines request?

Hi there, I noticed your (very old) request here: Wikipedia_talk:Newspapers_and_magazines_request_service. Did you ever get these articles from someone? If not, would you still like them? Leave a note on my talk page. Cheers, phoebe 04:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Microfilm: depends on the article, but I don't have a good way to get pdfs from microfiche/film. I can see what pdf verions I can get; if I don't have access, your library's interlibrary loan can probably help you out. phoebe 22:37, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Driehaus Prize

A small bit of text about the prize was added to the Richard Driehaus article, under the #Phylantropy section. Is this what you mean? —dogears (talk • contribs) 13:30, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Further reading section from the article & Tom Basso

Hello there. Regarding Pit (open outcry), I deleted two links to different online shops like Amazon and Wiley because it is suggested to use ISBN numbers (which automagically link to a search page where it is possible to find the book in several online stores) than directly link to the product in online shops. The PDF could have stayed, though, however since it is a chapter sample that is not being used as reference it made me think it was used as a way to promote the work. If it is being used as reference, though, it should be indicated in the article itself.

Regarding Tom Basso, I deleted four Amazon links and one Wiley for the same reason. As for Google Book Search, while I understand the idea of letting the user read a page of the book, I am not completely sure it is useful. It is much like linking to a shareware game in Download.com. I believe it would be better if the article used such link as reference. In example, write something related to the page, then reference it with {{cite book}}, and use the URL parameter to point to there. Instead of throwing him an external link where he could read two or three random pages from the book, he would read our article, and be able to expand on something that is already written in the article by checking the page at Google Book Search.

I will see if I can get some comments at Wikipedia:External links about this. Feel free to add the links to the article, if it is decided they are not suitable as external links, they will purged later. -- ReyBrujo 21:13, 27 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Forbes 400

Your additions to the Forbes 400 are being deleted, better get involved in the debate, before your work is undone. Someone is saying anything beyond a top 10 is a copyright violation. Hurry! --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:27, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Rainwater.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rainwater.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}}
  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. 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 18:41, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Steven A. Cohen

Hello,

Some contributor changed a fact in Cohen's article to state SAC controls $80 billion utilizing leverage. Hard to believe even for SAC I'd say. Should it be deleted? --Tvwatcher 16:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry it's not in Cohen's article ...it's in the SAC article. --Tvwatcher 16:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hi

Great to meet a trader here! Hope to exchange some trading techniques with you! I will try to go through your articles first though. Did you happen to use some insider data? Such as Harold Clark Simmons (http://www.secform4.com/insider-trading.php?cik=1037854)? Some people were unhappy with ZEFF DANIEL (http://www.secform4.com/insider-trading.php?cik=732026) who filed his selling as buying, although corrected them later. I did very well in the begining by following Mr. Simmons, but got greedy later on... Any comments on using IBD? Do you have personal website where you post your trading in real time? Thanks!

[edit] Al Weiss (trader)

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Al Weiss (trader), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Al Weiss (trader). You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. I also nominated a number of other similar article. ---J.S (T/C) 03:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:Seykota.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Seykota.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images.
