[edit] Your edit to Wikipedia:Articles for creation - Hurri-Kane

Hi - I was going down the list of articles for creation (AFC) and found what I think is an attempt by you to create an article on Hurri-Kane. I couldn't quite figure out why it looked the way it looked until I found your signature at the bottom. If I've got the right guy, read on - if not, ignore my rambling. :-)

I think you misunderstand AFC. AFC isn't for registered users to request new articles. AFC is for UNregistered users, people who are only known to Wikipedia by their IP address, to request registered users to create an article for them, since only registered users can create new articles. We used to let anyone start entries, but it got to be a real spam problem and it's better for the encyclopedia this way.

Since you're registered, you can go ahead and create the article yourself. The easiest way is to do a search for the title you want to use - if it's not in use, you'll see a red link. Click the red link, and you'll get an edit window where you can create the article. You seem to have the format down okay, but I would find more objective references if it was mine. The tutorial is very helpful, and you'll find a link to it in the welcome message above this one. Just go for it and let the community do the rest!

Because of the way it was laid out on the AFC page, I had already declined the first three sections as non-notable before I figured out what was going on - it didn't make any sense and sometimes bored kids will put nonsense on there just to have something to do. Plus, AFC creations are usually one section, and your submission had nine. I hope that makes sense - it was like one IP address wanted an article on "Finishing Moves" and another on "Notable Feuds" and so on.

Don't let my point of view stop you from creating it yourself, though.I'll be happy to help you with formatting and technical details if you need it, but I know less than nothing about professional wrestling so you'll have to take care of the actual content on your own. You do _not_ need to go and delete the AFC content. Just leave it alone and it will get archived. No article named "Hurri-Kane" was created, so you can use that title if you like (or another if you don't).

Welcome to Wikipedia - please let me know if I can help or if you have questions by leaving a message on my talk page. See ya - Baseball,Baby! balls•strikes 01:42, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Please make sure to provide a helpful edit summary (per the instructions and big red box) when editing the nominations list in future. This will help us keep the Good Articles wikiproject running more efficiently. Thanks.  -- Run!  11:19, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] California culture

The article appears to be cut+pasted from another site. If you believe this is not the case, please take part on the discussion linked to via the copyvio tag. Please do not remove the tag, it's considered bad form. --Oscarthecat 19:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry, I wanted to have alot if information

I don't mean to cause any problems, but the information I used I was trying hard to edit. Please don't delete the article. I put all my sources down. I'll changes things to make it look better.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Supershow (talk • contribs).

Hi Supershow. Thanks for responding. I've posted some comments on Talk:California culture, if you'd like to discuss it there. I hope that we can work on removing the offending (copyright violation) parts of the article and develop it into something suitable for wikipedia. --Oscarthecat 20:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
So Oscar, Hello, I have recreated the article so It does not violate copyright. We can still wotk to making this a FA. Thanks for the feedback. This time I did not copy that person's lead. and I missed my chance to remove. AS a team, maybe we can add more informtion, an infobox, and images. I would like 14. I'm willing to wor very hard on this article. As well, I have pretty good resources. If you have more or better resources. Please add.Showmanship is the key 17:59, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rhodesians

I don't want to scare you off from Wikipedia, but this article is almost entirely a propaganda piece for white minority rule. It's full of pronouncements about the black Rhodesians made by white people seeking to justify their status. If you want to add verifiable and neutrally presented material on Rhodesia's demographics and white Rhodesian culture at Rhodesia I would welcome that, but this article is not what we're looking for. Gazpacho 03:53, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

If you have copies of the books cited in the article, I suggest that you try again from the beginning to identify the hard facts about Rhodesians, things that are true regardless of any political stance. Then try either expanding the Rhodesia article or making a new article that cites each fact to the source(s) it came from. Gazpacho 00:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for GA review

I have nominated the article Lebanon for GA review, under the Geography category. I couldn't help but notice that some of the nominations had been sitting there for two weeks or more, and I really would like quick feedback. Because your name was listed in the reviewers list for Geography, I was wondering if you could do me the favor of reviewing the article. Thank you very much.

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

Thanks for uploading Image:ImagesRayCash.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.

[edit] Image:05040019.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:05040019.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. --— Indon (reply) — 13:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Photo sm manitoba.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Photo sm manitoba.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}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source 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. — Indon (reply) — 13:50, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==Geography of North America==

Hi Supershow. Did you tag the article as FA last September? Articles are supposed to go through FAC before being tagged as FA. As you might have noticed from the comments on the talk page, the article is still very far from achieving GA status (not to mention FA, an honor reserved to one article out of 1400 approximately), and it wasn't any closer two month ago. Please remove the tag, and replace it by a B-class one. Please note also that the NA template should be a the very bottom of the article. Thanks!!--SidiLemine 16:33, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] www.freewebphoto.com images

You uploaded several images from www.freewebphoto.com claiming them to be GFDL licensed, but acording to theyr terms of use the images can't even be considered free licensed, and they are defenently not GFDL licensed as you claim. I have tagged them all as "no license", meaning they will get deleted 7 days from now unless you manage to contact the copyright holders and convince them to release the images under a free license. The images in question are: Image:Normal Nieghbors Mill.jpg, Image:Normal garden wildlife 619.jpg, Image:North cool mountain.jpg, Image:Normal fields.jpg and Image:Normal duckssunset.jpg. --Sherool (talk) 16:39, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oh

I though that the site was listeed under fair use sites and that the images were/are GFDL. I'm sorry, you can delete them already if their not fair use. Showmanship is the key 00:47, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit

I saw you were listed under the League of Editors. Would you have some time to copyedit Ohio Wesleyan University? WikiprojectOWU 22:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sure

Hi, I will copyedit this article just right now. Thanks for asking.

  • Thank you! I really appreciate it! Do you think there are areas that might need some attention? WikiprojectOWU 23:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Well the article is listed under those that need some factual verification. Well, that can be an issue for a FA attempt. Prose is pretty well in my opinion. Leader may use another paragraph or two. Showmanship is the key 01:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
  • I responded to the factual verification questions. What are the outstanding issues in your opinion? LaSaltarella 08:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

[edit] Hurricane Isaac

I picked up Hurricane Isaac (2006) last night from the LoCE backlog and began a copyedit, but didn't tag it. Now I see you've tagged it for LoCE. It can be confusing to have two copyeditors working on an article, so how about if I finish it off? Raymond Arritt 03:25, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: OWU

Dear Supershow,

Thank you for the follow-up left on my talk page on January 15. The copyediting process for the Ohio Wesleyan University article is over. I was curious if you would be willing to support its nomination in the FAC process? If not, any suggestions on how to improve will be greatly appreciated! LaSaltarella 02:07, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Supershow, I just wanted to let you know that I nominated the OWU article in the FAC process. LaSaltarella 19:40, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] aks for help: Persian literature

Dear Supershow!

Persian literature was previously a GA. However it was silent about contemporary literature. I added information about "contemporary persian literature". The section needs copyediting and also shortening. In case you are interested in the subject, I would like to ask you to help me in improving the article. Thanks alot. Sangak 16:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Copyediting is the major issue for GA. Size of the article will only matter in FA assessment (which is not my immediate concern). Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend. Sangak 18:53, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

PS: I am working on Abbas Kiarostami. It is now a FA candidate. It would be great if you could take a look at it and comment on it here for further improvements. Sangak Talk 16:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Sorry, I was not able to comment on it before it was promted. Great analysis and biography of the study and very neutral, and well deserving of an FA. Most of my opinions of the article are stated in the candidate talk page. Fine, well structured, and told article. Showmanship is the key 03:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Shahbag

The article is inching towards an FA status and is being reviewed for a second time by peers. But, it still needs much copyedit (especially with citation template and dating web citations). A wholesomely coherent style of English and a completely cohesive flow of the article is mightily required at this point. I have also tagged the article for sopyedit, and have posted a request with Wikipedia:WikiProject League of Copyeditors. Please, help. Aditya Kabir 16:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Post Script Would it be a good idea to post this article as a good article candidate and then take it to the good article collaboration (and finally the FAC)? Please, respond to my talk page. Aditya Kabir 16:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
