[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:DCP 1173 Wikipedia Version.jpg)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:DCP 1173 Wikipedia Version.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Shyam (T/C) 09:23, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Anhalter Bahnhof

Out of curiosity: why did you first add and then remove an image to the article? --° 20:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

  • I hadn't given it a proper title - it came up called DCP 1559 (from my digital camera). Remember that I'm new to this and this was an early attempt at uploading an image. I'll try again later when I know what I'm doing!

[edit] Rue Voss

Excellent work on this article. I didn't know Wertheim's was in that neighbourhood. Thanks also for your kind comments. Adam 12:11, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Did you take the aerial photo yourself, as suggested by the copyright notice? Adam 12:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes I did, from the "Berlin Hi-Flier" (I think that's what it's called) - a tethered balloon that rises 150 metres above the site of the Administration Block of the Reich Chancellery on the corner of Ebertstrasse and (that name again!) Voss-strasse. Adult fare 19 Euros. Doesn't operate if it's too windy so on a previous visit I was unlucky. You also mention Wertheim's - they probably had several stores around the city (there was definitely another one at Alexanderplatz), but the main one was always taken to be the Leipziger Strasse store, which had a 330 m facade immediately east of Leipziger Platz and backed on to Voss-strasse. Although the store itself is long destroyed, the basement strongrooms of its former bank (yes, it had its own bank), survived until very recently and served as the home of the "Tresor" club, one of the main centres for techno music.
  • Good work on Ebertstrasse. Please note however that we do not wikify dates - 1933 not 1933, and that we do dates either as 1 January 2000 or January 1 2000 (according to taste, but be consistent within each article), not 1st January or January 1st. Perhaps you could go back and fix these.
  • On the Wertheims, there is a section on them in Richard Evans, The Third Reich in Power, 378-82. Evans says they had seven stores in Berlin and that in 1933 Georg Wertheim brought a non-Jewish banker who was a friend of Goring, Emil Georg von Strauss, onto the board as a "protection." It was Strauss who negotiated the sale of the Voss-strasse site to the state at a knock-down price in 1938 so that the Chancellery could be built. The Wertheims were then forced to sell up completely. Most of them emigrated but Georg refused go and died in Berlin in 1939. The same thing happened to the Tietzes, who owned 58 stores including the famous KaDaWe on the K-damm. Adam 15:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
    • Dates fixed. Thanks for your comments.

Just to intervene, I'm afraid you've been misled; full dates should always be wikified (e.g., 23 February, January 29, 2006), so that readers' preferences are respected. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Anhalter Guterbahnhof 2005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Anhalter Guterbahnhof 2005.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. 16:05, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr z

This is to advise you of the status of an article you created. A tag has been placed on Dr z, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Dr z is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Dr z. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Accurizer 01:25, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Falguni Pathak

You did improve this article considerably, for which thank you, but:

  1. Please use edit summaries.
  2. Don't remove templates unless you're sure that you've done the required work (especially things like wikification). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 15:29, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:GSWN

I noticed your contributions to articles relating to Berlin. You may therefore be interested in the Wikipedia:German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. Cheers, Olessi 17:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
