[edit] My information

Brianga,

I dont see what is wrong with putting up information about a new idea that is going to change an industry. American Agent Online was created for the public and a definition of it and how it came about should be allowed. Dont you think? What can be changed to allow it?

[edit] More detail required

Hi Brianga,

I am not interested in promoting my business. I simply wish to explain what this web site does.

Having read your references, I am none the wiser. If you can help me reduce the content to something that you consider non-prejudicial, I would be grateful.

Regards,

[edit] Ownership query

Hi Brianga,

Thanks. Do you mean that I, as the creator of the web site, am prohibited from creating an article on Wikipedia about the site?

If so, would it be acceptable to have one of our independent members/contributors create the article instead?

Regards,

Mac —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macmaclaren (talk • contribs) 05:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Brianga,

While I am happy to admit that I have a vested interest in my company, I wanted to make a *neutral* entry in Wikipedia, as I realise that it does not tolerate self-promotion, which is entirely fair.

However, I am a little confused about the "notability" issue. When I submitted the Lemonrock entry in November 2007, I cited the inclusion of our business connection with Archant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archant), but this was not accepted.

Can you explain what the site would have to do or to achieve to become "notable", please? Is there anything that you could suggest to add our site to Wikipedia, without the entry being biased?

Regards,

[edit] Secondary sources

Hi Brianga,

We do provide HTML feeds to several other web sites (such as bands', artists' and venues' own sites) who post their gigs on the Lemonrock gig guide site. However, it seems that we have to "break out" of the web world in order to be notable on Wikipedia! This is a difficult issue! Looking forward to the future, when (perhaps) these "secondary" sources of newspapers and television will not exist separately from "the Web" - what will constitute an "independent" source, I wonder?! I can't answer that any better than you can!

Anyway, thanks for your considered responses tonight. I appreciate your effort.

Lemonrock looks forward to being a valid, and useful, part of Wikipedia, one day, hopefully soon!

Regards,

Mac

[edit] User talk:Joseph.downey9211

Hi Brianga,

I blocked the above user, who you had previously given a final warning, after he continued to create inappropriate pages. I made the block indefinite, but in retrospect, fell that this might be too harsh. Do you think the block should be shortened? If so, would you mind telling me how to do it? Thanks for helping out a new admin! :) faithless (speak) 10:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ryan Moss

Hi there.

The article which I started about Ryan Moss is a legitimate article. He is an icon in the Pacific NW, one of the most accomplished photographers, whose work highlights life in Central America. I even think he is actively working on conservation issues. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Photosnw (talk • contribs) 07:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Why do you hate philanthropy so much. It just tries to help. This can all be resolved very easily. I want my own wikipedia page. To document my acheivments. I have to have a record on the net.

[edit] CSD R3

ok. Please, delete the ones you think are recent enough. I will nonimate the remaining. In the last 4 days I have tagged more than 600 redirects, only 5 of them I had to Rfd. It seems that the definition of recent is a little bit loose. Don't worry. Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 12:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Can you at least delete the redirects created in 2007?

[edit] Image:The cure live.jpg

I didn't mean that wikipedia is commercial. I meant that the image is tagged as cc 2.0, but if you click the link to the original file on flickr, the owner has it tagged as cc 2.0 Noncommercial. Which isn't an acceptable license for Wikipedia (see Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags/Deprecated#Non-free_Creative_Commons_licenses. The Wiki uploader tagged it incorrectly which makes it a copyright infringement. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 14:48, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oak Grove Fire Department already had a prod removed

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Oak Grove Fire Department, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Atamachat 21:05, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Exterior kaifeng synagogue.JPG

Why in the world did you delete the image without consulting me (the uploader) first? It is a much higher resolution version of the previous one. I was in the process of having the lower resolution one deleted. I will be re-adding my image. Delete this one. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 00:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:84.55.114.217

I have to say that, initially, I thought a year was too much as there hadn't been a block since last June, but it does appear to be a long-term IP, so I agree. I'm still a little wary about a year's block, though. Perhaps we could make it 3 months for now? Sam Korn (smoddy) 10:58, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Sounds like a reasonable compromise, I suppose. Feel free to change it. Brianga (talk) 10:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Dear Mr. Brianga You have just reverted the latest posts for Komati and Vasavi. You say final warning. What else do you want me to do when people keep hacking and writing all denegrations about the Komati, Vasavi and other Vysya articles. The user "Yenkata setty (talk • contribs)" pretends to be a Komati but he is vandalizing and writing all sorts of rubbish about this caste. The user with ip address "122......." always hacks the Komati article and Vaishya article to denegrate Komatis. "yenkata setty" is the same guy who writes from "122........" as well. If you think something could be done please let me know. Please understand and research on "122......." and you will more about that guy. You can find his traces in Komati history. He pretends to be Komati but keeps writing all denegrations. Thank you

    • The vandal seems to have access to a range of IPs (please take a look at the history of user's page and the talk page - also User:Durova's talk page). David will still be able to edit his page if it is semi-protected, I think. --Be happy!! (talk) 07:55, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Paris Hilton

"unreferenced or poorly referenced"

Well it was unreferenced. But I didn't add it to the article, did I. I thought the talk pages are for talking. Fine, keep the article crappy. I know better now. Aren't all women bisexual until proven married anyway? The users who want (as near as we can manage) FACTS know to ignore talk pages. And it's the 21st Century. Who the hell outside the bible belt thinks being or asserting that someone is gay is "controversial". Or was your instant complaint just general-purpose boilerplate that has little bearing on what I wrote? yeah, whatever. Dreammmmmmmm on.

A fact is a fact. Because I am an Objectivist. Never argue with one of those. --81.105.243.17 (talk) 02:34, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

And yet:

Google says: Results 1 - 10 of about 493,000 for paris hilton lesbian. (0.18 seconds)

Well. Who needs wikipedia to reveal the truth. Locked articles get inaccurate fast. Controversial personalities are always locked so that stuff gets censored. Admins sanitize to prevetn libel. Even in England it's not libel when it's true. Off I go to register parisisgay.com

BTW. I CHOOSE to use an ip address.

A 21st century nightmare:

The truth causes rage. When it should say 'Edit This Page'. Life can't take it's course. When it does say 'View Source'

I am curious as to why you deleted this album cover image. You said there is a better copy of this cover somewhere else - I can't find it. --NrDg 05:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Raven.png was originally uploaded as a cartoon character for another article. It got overlayed with the current image and is the wrong image for the justification. If it is OK with you, I'd like to delete the current raven.png to return it to what it should be and undelete Raven-S.png and put it back in the album article. --NrDg 05:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I went ahead and fixed it all. Reverted to proper Raven.png and undeleted Raven-S.png. --NrDg 05:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] On Takam-Chi (film)

Dear Brianga, thank you for your message. I did delete the tag at issue once and that was because I had not saved the entry for two seconds before it was tagged. I strongly believe that the responsibility of tagging has been inappropriately left in the hands of some individuals who seem even unable to be polite in their addressing others. Further, it is risible that an entry can be tagged for deletion, hardly two seconds following its creation, for the sole reason that the editor at issue is unable to trace information concerning the entry with the aid of Google. To my best judgement, this is philistinism gone mad. For what purpose would I create an entry, if the subject matter of the entry did not exist? Moreover, I did not join Wikipedia today or yesterday; why would I perpetrate a hoax now? These are questions that these so-called editors should first consider before tagging an entry. Who appoints these know-nothings and do-gooders as editors? This evening I have spent my valuable time simply to respond to issues arising from what amounts to an act of utter immaturity by a so-called editor, tagging an entry without knowing anything about its subject matter. You may bring to the attention of these individuals to learn at least the basics of addressing others before placing them on positions of responsibility. The person wrote to me as though I were his/her mate on the playground. Yours sincerely, --BF 00:34, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Rick.chase.hisxpress.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Rick.chase.hisxpress.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sdrtirs (talk) 20:26, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:NokiaTimesSquareExterior.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:NokiaTimesSquareExterior.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [2], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

  • state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
  • add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Polly (Parrot) 23:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

  • I don't know what you're doing but I've deleted all pictures I've ever uploaded. It appears that after a week of being uploaded with no problem you've started a vendetta against my pictures and so I've given up. Sorry, but I just don't need the hassle that is involved. Good luck to wikipedia getting pictures at all. I'll not upload any more - even if they're ones I've personally taken. And if this continues I'll just delete my articles too and call it a day. GoScoutUK (talk) 06:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Connorflanagan.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sdrtirs (talk) 17:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:PippaBlackElle.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. BJBot (talk) 05:02, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
