[edit] Clean Fuels Ohio

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Clean Fuels Ohio, 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}}.

[edit] AfD discussion

I thought that you, as a contributor to List of fictional books, might want to add your opinion to this discussion of the possible deletion of List of fictional books within the Harry Potter series.--ShelfSkewed Talk 18:33, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HP fictional books intro

I think it's tremendous, but I can tell you right now what the objection is going to be from Judgesurreal777: No out-of-world referenced notability. That is, we need to find someone else who might be considered an authority (Rowling herself, another author, an academic, or a book reviewer) asserting the significance of the fictional books as more than just trivial details of the narrative. As I mentioned to JerryFriedman, I think those sources are out there somewhere, but they may not be as easy to find as Googling up a book review.--ShelfSkewed Talk 05:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I agree that the intro improves the article and that nevertheless it won't make any difference to the people who want the article deleted.
It seems to me that if the fictitious books are important enough to list in real books, such as the two references I provided, they're "notable". However, some may want to see sources backing up statements that the fictitious books are important to the plot of the books, their charm, etc. That may require looking in JSTOR and other places that aren't so easily accessible. —JerryFriedman 16:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
and, Bookgirl, you say you're an academic librarian--so go to it. This is why they need people like us here. (and in the world in general, of course) DGG (talk) 09:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Smarttags2.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Smarttags2.PNG. 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 15:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photocopylore and Faxlore

I've proposed to merge the photocopylore article you created into faxlore. I see that yours was create as a result of a missing-articles request. The merger should perhaps go the other way; "photocopylore" seems to get more print in play, even if "Xeroxlore" seems a somewhat better formed word in English. Xeroxlore currently redirects to faxlore rather than to photocopylore last time I checked.

"Faxlore" is also currently up for deletion. Your opinion would be appreciated. - Smerdis of Tlön 21:53, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 19 November 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article George J. Dufek, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Aat sample.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Aat sample.JPG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
