[edit] Speedy deletion warning

A tag has been placed on Jay Batt, 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 Jay Batt is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Jay Batt. 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. MER-C 02:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Kathleen Blanco.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kathleen Blanco.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. Chowbok ☠ 22:03, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Linking

Please let me add my welcome and thank you for contributions, especially to the Action democratique du Quebec article. It would be a good idea for you to review the Wikipedia Manual of Style on links. In particular, the section on overlinking says:

"do not make too many links. An article may be considered overlinked if any of the following is true:
  • More than 10% of the words are contained in links;
  • More than 10% of the links are to articles that don't exist; or
  • Low added-value items are linked without reason — such as, 1995, 1980s, and 20th century.
  • A link for any single term is excessively repeated in the same article."

Thanks again. Ground Zero | t 11:22, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Linking acronyms

If you click on MNA, you will see what this links to. It is not a very useful page for readers. It would be more helpful to readers to link like this: [[Member of the National Assembly|MNA]]. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 01:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cut and paste move

Please don't do cut and paste moves as you did from [1] to [2]. It loses the page history and violates the GFDL. The proper procedure would have been: Move "Curtis Cooper" to "Curtis Cooper (mathematician)" (it should be lower m but you don't have to fix that now), and then edit the resulting redirect at "Curtis Cooper" to make, in this case, a disambiguation page. See Help:Moving a page#Page histories and Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves. You can request a fix at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. PrimeHunter 15:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I posted to Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen and it has been fixed. PrimeHunter 02:14, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trois-Rivières

The undifferentiated title Trois-Rivières is currently a disambiguation page, not an article about the city in Quebec. Please be aware that you need to link specifically to Trois-Rivières, Quebec when referring to the city. Thanks. Bearcat 00:59, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Senatorial Division of Shawinegan

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have perfomed a web search with the contents of Senatorial Division of Shawinegan, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Senatorial Division of Shawinigan. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 12:08, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Boucher (musician)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Daniel Boucher (musician), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Hersfold (t/a/c) 22:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sonny Dixon

Hi, actually the page was deleted by a user, Fantasy. The user who edited the article, Sonnygator, is probably Sonny Dixon, but the reason for deletion is complex. Fantasy is a member of Wikipedia:OTRS meaning she can read and take action based on the emails to Wikipedia. The reason she deleted Sonny Dixon was refered to as an OTRS action (see the deletion log). This may mean that Sonny Dixon himself emailed Wikipedia and requested less personal information in the article, though I'm not sure. I have emailed Fantasy asking for clarification but it might not be possible to get a reason because of privacy issues. Please refrain from editing the article until the matter is cleared up because there might be some legal reason for the article being deleted. Thanks for your time, I'll inform you when I get a reply from Fantasy. James086Talk | Email 00:05, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, it's me again. I haven't received an email from Fantasy (talk • contribs • logs) yet so I checked to see if she was active. She hasn't made any contributions since August 9 and Sonny Dixon was one of the last actions she took. Her userpage suggests that she probably won't be able to edit due to her house being constructed so perhaps it will be some time until I get a reply. None-the-less, I will contact you when she replies. Thanks, James086Talk | Email 13:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Bellemare,
The page started with his age, religion, the name of his wife, the number of children, the college he attendet (without references for this information), so for me this was clearly something that should not be in Wikipedia. He must be really really important so that information like this has to show up in Wikipedia. Currently I think no (especially in view of no resource mentioned).
I leave it up to James086 to decide if he wants to get back relevant and well referenced sections that may be used again. Please try to be as strict and precise and NEUTRAL as possible when writing about a person, then I think it should be ok. Fantasy 22:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I re-added some information that had sources. The article must be sourced carefully because it's a biography of a living person. As Fantasy suggested, it's probably a good idea to leave out personal details, even if they are sourced. Thanks for your patience, James086Talk | Email 23:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Owens-Thomas House and other GA and LA National Historic Landmarks

Hi Bellemare -- I included your article on Owens-Thomas House into a List of National Historic Landmarks in Georgia, an article under development to cover the 47 NHLs in GA. I was happy to find your article already created, and nicely written. I just added that the site is a National Historic Landmark to the article, and added other stuff including a reference link to a very rich text source for more information. It would be great if you could revisit it and edit in more information based on that additional source. Also, please feel free to contribute to the Georgia list of NHLs or articles covered by it, and check out List of National Historic Landmarks in Louisiana, too. Keep up the good work! Please feel free to ask me any questions on my talk page about NHL and NRHP research sources for landmarks, too. doncram 20:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Jackie Clarkson.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Jackie Clarkson.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Fernand Therese.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fernand Therese.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:08, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Maurice Richard

Hi, Bellemare!

Could you clarify the second reference on Maurice Richard (Quebec politician)? Is that from a book? Or was it a newspaper article? I couldn't find anything on Google that matched. Many thanks for your help!! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 07:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Piped links

Thanks for all of your great contributions to Quebec articles. Please note Wikipedia:piped link:

Keep piped links as intuitive as possible. Do not use piped links to create "easter egg links", that require the reader to follow them before understanding what's going on. Also remember there are people who print the articles. For example, do not write this:
...and by mid-century the puns and sexual humor were (with only a few exceptions) back in to stay.
The readers will not see the hidden reference to Thomas Bowdler unless they click or hover over the piped exceptions link — in a print version, there is no link to select, and the reference is lost. Instead, reference the article explicitly:
...and by mid-century the puns and sexual humor were (with only a few exceptions; see Thomas Bowdler) back in to stay.
Similarly:
"After an earlier disaster (see Bombay Explosion (1944))", not "After an earlier disaster..."

So linking an election article and then piping only the year doesn't help the reader know what to expect. Adding "election" or "Quebec election" into the pipe will clarify to the reader what the link will take them to. Thanks. Ground Zero | t 18:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again for your great contributions. Ground Zero | t 13:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Headings

The Wikipedia style for headings is to use "sentence case", not "title case", i.e., words that are not proper nouns are not capitalized (other than the first word in the heading). See WP:MSH. Thanks, and keep up the great work. Ground Zero | t 16:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
