I just tagged your article for deletion because it appears to be lifted whole from the Herodotus entry. If that was a mistake (copy/paste error, maybe?), you might want to revisit the page and fix it up. Cheers. --Graham 07:41, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Bargsten.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bargsten.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 08:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U-521

I think you should change this to a redirect to your Klaus bargsten article, which, incidentally, needs to be moved to correct the mis-capitalization. --Graham 08:19, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

OK, nicely done, but you could have used the "move" link at the top of the page; that retains the edit history and so on. (See How_to_rename_a_page.) I changed the old page into a redirect, but please flag it {{db-author}} when you get a chance. Let me know if you have any question on my talk page. Thanks! --Graham 08:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] U-521 redux

I still think that your U-521 article doesn't provide enough novel information to justify its standing alone. Why not just merge it with Klaus? --Graham 08:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy notification

I tagged David Galarneau for speedy deletion b/c it doesn't assert its notability and most certainly fails WP:MUSIC. Sorry.--Kchase T 07:57, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Do you have any sources for this competition win?--Kchase T 08:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What Am I Doing Wrong

I seriously am pulling my hair out trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong with my copyright status of my pictures of these articles. I have even emailed the proper owners of the pictures and received confirmation that I can post them on this website, nevertheless they always seem to be tagged for "speedy deletion."

I select the proper copyright status *1* when uploading an image and even write about the owner of the picture who has given me permission to use it.

Please tell me why I'm going through these complications. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Penfish (talk • contribs).

*1* Clearly you were not doing that. When you uploaded the images you selected the copyright holder only allows this work to be used for non-commercial and/or educational purposes. This automatically includes {{permission from license selector}} and {{db-noncom}} in the image description. You clearly did not look at the image descriptions created by the upload. I suggest you read these templates now and follow their advice. Also, if the licence allows it, please upload to the Commons so all languages can share. -- RHaworth 02:27, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Also, this:
(==Summary== Dominick Pezzulo of the PAPD == Licensing == Template:Approved Status: Copyright has been approved by rightful owner. Copyright (C) 2001 John Desalvo, Rightful Owner (and friend to Dominick Pezzulo). New York, New York USA. This picture is to be used for educational purposes only.
was useless: you converted the two headings Summary and Licensing into text, you tried to use a non-template Approved, you failed to add an actual approved licence tag. {{GFDL}} would probably be appropriate in the case of that image. -- RHaworth 02:33, 30 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Copyright Violation in Dominick Pezzulo

Friend, what were you thinking? You can't copy an entire section of an article from a copyrighted website word for word. I refer to the Sept. 11 section and this [1]. Do you see at the bottom where it says "©2005 Courtroom Television Network LLC. All Rights Reserved." What do you think that little c with the circle around it means? Not only did you plagiarize that chunk of the article, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of it was taken word-for-word from another source. This man is a hero and he deserves an article bigtime but you can't just copy stuff from a copyrighted article!--Mantanmoreland 03:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll do what I can. Please be more careful in the future as you can get in a lot of trouble for duplicating copyrighted content. I see there have been copyright issues before. I know your heart is in the right place and all but copyright is taken very seriously around here. Read through WP:COPYRIGHT.--Mantanmoreland 14:31, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate your kind comments on my talk page. By the way -- a gentle suggestion that you look at the Dominick Pezzulo talk page and my recent edit. I call your attention to the edit summary of that edit.--Mantanmoreland 03:38, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ira isn't IRA

Did you notice the very top of the page, where it says:

For other meanings, see IRA

And the top half of the IRA page is about various IRA factions. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 06:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I updated Ira to make it more clear that all of the Irish Republican Army references are listed on IRA. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 06:18, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
No worries, I clarified it at the top, so the article is improved. Take a look at Ira and IRA now. I didn't realize there were so many different organizations that can be referred to as the Irish Republican Army. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 19:18, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BF 2142 Muscle car image

You've removed this at least twice now. The first time you did you stated "got rid of an misplaced picture". Th1rt3en reverted your edit and asked "rv - how is that misplaced?". I've checked the discussion, and I've checked both of your talk pages, and as far as I can tell, you never answered that. I have reverted your second edit, and I would appreciate it if you answered Th1rt3en's question before removing it again. -NorsemanII 00:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Update regarding your third edit, where you said "Image Tagging for Image:Bf2af-musclecar2142.gif does not give source author for picture taken. ALSO, the fact that the muscle car is NOT in the game definitely signifies a 'misplaced picture'.)" Yes, there is a muscle car in BF2. It's in the Armored Fury expansion pack on the map Operation Midnight Sun. I've taken a screenshot and hosted it on imageshack for you: http://img89.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screen000ns2.jpg You can see the 2142 license plate discussed in the trivia, and you can see several of the hud and text items that are unique to BF2. I don't have a working image manipulator except for paint, so I can't resize it and use it instead. The image that was in that article was fine. There are several images on wikipedia where the author is unknown, and provided there's no breach of copyright, these are perfectly acceptable to use. I'm reverting the edit again. If you have any further complaints about the image, please bring them up in the BF 2142 talk page.-NorsemanII 03:34, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

REPLY - The muscle car is actually in the game, i know this because i've driven it, im the one who took that screen shot. If you have armorned fury and look in the right map you can find it. Also, the forklift is also driveable but not listed (I don't believe so). Google video of the car -th1rt3en 04:46, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edits to PAN

Your edits to this article seems to have been lifted entirely from here. Is this the case or am I missing something here? --Charlesknight 15:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AFD notice removal

Do not remove AFD notices like you did with the PAN article, it is considered vandalism. If you want to make a case for keeping the article, you need to make it on the AFD page. --Charlesknight 09:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please sign your comments

Hi could you sign your comments please - it makes it easier to see who is saying what.

[edit] Image:Stroumboulopoulos.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stroumboulopoulos.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 that provides substantially the same information. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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. Oden 01:10, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caspian

A tag has been placed on Caspian (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Murderbike 08:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Caspian1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Caspian1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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.
