[edit] Unterseeboot 89

Generally, Wikipedia has a policy agaisnt disambiguation pages (such as this one) which do not point to any articles. Perhaps you would be willing to write short stubs on the different subs, so that this article is not deleted? J Milburn 11:31, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, you could just rephrase it slightly, and make it into a list of the subs, rather than a disambiguation page. That would probably actually be a better option, becuase, as you say, there is information on the page anyway. J Milburn 11:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, if you are not going to make it into a valid disambiguation page OR a valid list, it should be deleted. Wikipedia's policy comes before the policy of specific Wikiprojects. J Milburn 12:01, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh, sorry, I didn't realise that that was the case. My original message was that it would probably be best to write articles on each of them, I thought perhaps you were just going to write the disambiguation page and hope that someone would write the articles on the subs. Happy editing. J Milburn 12:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unterseeboot 88

A tag has been placed on Unterseeboot 88, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Kamope · talk · contributions 12:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Uploading images

Decided to make the reply here so it's easier for you to see it :) I dont, as a rule, put copyrighted images on Commons, because AFAIK Fair Use is something that only the English Wikipedia recognises. Therefore I put the images directly on the English Wikipedia, adding the fair use rationale and tag that you can see on the images I've uploaded. (Feel free to copy and paste to your hearts delight if you find the rationale ok btw) Abel29a 18:39, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for Advice

Dear Keallu, I wanted to thank you for your helpful advice about fluency in articles related to U-boats, and infoboxes for the latter. I have tried to be more fluent, but if you could be more specific with your concerns, or give an example from within my own work, I feel sure my articles would improve greatly. Regarding the infoboxes - the site where I obtain my information, while being a complete and highly useful resource, does not present much of the information needed to fill the infobox. I am quite new to Wikipedia, and am still learning how to do things, and I find infoboxes quite complicating. If you know of an article or anything that could help me improve my skills in this area, I would certainly appreciate it. Otherwise, I prefer to simply leave them out, because when I try with infoboxes, I usually make a horrible mess. As I have said, I am new, and have only been an active user of Wikipedia for about 1 month. Thank you again, and sorry about the lateness of my reply, Anonymous Dissident 22:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Keallu,

Thank you form your swift reply, and even more thanks for your brief but easy to understand explanation of infoboxes. Your help is so appreciated. I will also use the site you recommended to me. I feel I owe you alot. Because of you, my articles will be greatly improved. Equipped with the understanding of how to use infoboxes, I'm sure I'll be able to create many more articles of better quality. Thanks a million, Anonymous Dissident 23:05, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello again Keallu,

I have written another U boat article, with what I hope is more precision and fluency than my previous ones. It is entitled Unterseeboot 777. I have done the best I can, using the infobox, and adding some interesting facts. If you have time, I was wondering whether it would be possible that you examine the article, and report to me any faults, errors or inconsistencies you see, aswell as improvements that could be made to make the article just that little bit better. Thanks once again, your advice is gold. Anonymous Dissident 03:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
