[edit] Welcome

A warm welcome to Wikipedia. I see that you've contributed to Sweden-related topics, so perhaps you might be interested in the Swedish Wikipedians' notice board. It's intended as an information hub for Wikipedians with interest in and/or knowledge of Swedish topics. It aims to keep track of ongoing debates and votes relating to Swedish articles, and as a place to list "weak spots", in order to attract the attention of someone knowledgeable in a specific area. If you find it interesting, you can add your signature at the bottom of the page and put it on your watchlist.

By the way, I've put Mijailovic, too, in his category the proper way. Note that, in addition to what R. S. Shaw says above, there is one more thing to keep in mind when you add a page to a category: in order to get the Category page sorted by last names, you should add "|Lastname, Firstname" befor the closing brackets. (I often forget it myself, and people will not blame you if you do, but there's no reason not to strive for perfection, right?) Like this:

[[Category:Swedish criminals|Mijailovic, Mijailo]]

Hope to see you around. Happy editing! / Alarm 14:07, 26 July 2005 (UTC)


Note to non-Swedes: The following post only contains an introduction to some Wikipedia basics. There is no discussion on specific content. However, I will translate it on request.
Hej och tack för svar! Eftersom du skriver på svenska så svarar jag på svenska. För mer allmänna hälsningar av detta slag torde det vara ok. Annars är tumregeln att om man diskuterar något väsentligt, tex allt som rör innehållet i artiklarna, så bör man hålla sig till engelska så att alla användare kan följa och delta i diskussionen. Det är också därför som vi gör detta på den svenska anslagstavlan. Vad gäller hur man svarar på meddelanden går det bra att svara både på sin egen Talk-sida (den som lämnar ett meddelande på en Talk-sida brukar välja att bevaka den) eller på avsändarens, båda varianterna förekommer.
Du behöver absolut inte känna någon jättepress att få allt du gör här helt korrekt enligt alla riktlinjer. Det finns massor med finesser och det är omöjligt att lära sig alla. Det fina med Wikipedia är ju också att förr eller senare fixas ens missar till ändå, av någon som vet hur man gör. Det finns givetvis heller inga som helst krav på aktivitet, varken i allmänhet eller för den som "skriver upp sig" på den svenska anslagstavlan. Lägg gärna till din signatur till namnlistan även om du inte planerar att vara så aktiv.
Jag ser att du inte fått något "välkomstmeddelande" - det finns en grupp som brukar lämna sådana till nyregistrerade användare. Men du kan hitta ett överst på min User Talk-sida. Där finns länkar till några användbara introduktionssidor. Eftersom jag ser att du laddat upp en hel del bilder skulle jag också rekommendera att du kikar på instruktionssidorna om Image description page och Image use policy. Det verkar som om flera av dina bilder saknar upphovsrättsinformation, och det måste man ha. Vilket är besvärligt, men nödvändigt.
Just bildbiten är jag ingen expert på (laddar inte upp bilder själv), men du är varmt välkommen att fråga på min Talk page om du undrar över något. (Använd gärna engelska om det inte känns alltför besvärligt.) Kan jag inte svara kan jag hjälpa dig att hitta någon som vet mer. Bästa hälsningar! / Alarm 23:19, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect syntax

Hello there - thanks for setting up redirects to The Man on the Roof; it might help to know that you can get them to work automatically using this syntax on the page you want to act as a redirect:

#REDIRECT [[The Man on the Roof]]

That's all you need to do; the software will take care of the rest. I hope that's useful! Loganberry (Talk) 15:05, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi,

[edit] Peer review?

I think your articles on Swedish socialists are very good, and I think you should consider taking a couple of them to peer review to get some input (you can still continue doing whatever you were planning to do with them while they are there), and eventually to nominate them for featured article status. What do you you think? I'd suggest beginning with Ture Nerman. Uppland 11:39, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the encouragement on my articles about Swedish socialists. What I’m doing with these guys is that I’m reading their autobiographies, one by one, and as I read I write new info for the wiki articles. I’m basically done with Ture Nerman, and right now I’m in the middle of Zeth Höglund’s 3 volume autobiography. After that I will read the 3 volume autobiography of Karl Kilbom and then the 2 volume autobiography of Fredrik Ström, and finally the much shorter autobiography of Anton Nilson. So these articles will grow. When I’m done with that, which of course will take a while, I have a newly published thick book on the early Swedish Communist Movement by historian Aleksander Kan, which will help fill in some stuff and maybe give a little more critical input on some of it. Bronks 14 November 2005.
Make sure you insert detailed references in the articles, as that will be expected when it comes to making them featured articles. I also don't know if you have all the books, but it is something to consider in time if you have borrowed some of them and won't have access to them later. Uppland 18:37, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dein Vandalismus in der de:Wikipedia (de:Zeth Höglund, de:Ture Nerman)

Dein Zeug wurde bereits einmal schnellgelöscht, die 1-Satz-Einträge sind schrottig und "Erweiterungen" wie "Geboren ." eher als Vandalismus anzusehen. Wenn Du dort weiter so machst, müssen wir zusehen, dass Du dort rausfliegst. Yopohari 13:46, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

"Meine Deutch ist nicht so gut, aber vieliecht können jemand diesen artikeln von the english wikipedia nach Deutch übersetzen..." - Für solche Bitten gibt es die de:Wikipedia:Übersetzungswünsche - Und nicht egal-was mit Interwikis als "Artikel" reintun. Das ist nun mal Vandalismus pur. Yopohari 14:42, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
Yopohari, you should be more careful about calling other people vandals when they obviously are not. Uppland 18:14, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Red Army Song

the song you are speaking about is usually referred to by its lines: either "Красная армия всех сильней" (the red army is the strongest) or its first line "Белая армия, чёрный барон" (White Army, Black Baron). Both foreign links you mentioned talk about another piece, the instrumental "March of the Red Army" by Reinhold Glière (ru: Глиэр). Sorry, I have no time to write more at the moment. mikka (t) 20:16, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I was not reading the swedish version carefully. It says that the norvegian text is based in the german version. Also indeed, the German text fits the melody of "the red army is the strongest", so it is quite possible that the German version is mistaken, because Gliere's rhythmic structure is quite different. I will check this later. (German version is definitely has an error: Gliere marsh was written in 1924) mikka (t) 01:14, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
Yes. Confirmed. I downloaded the German song. Its music is "Красная армия всех сильней". I notified the German wiki: de:Diskussion:Die Arbeiter von Wien. mikka (t) 04:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Natalie Portman

Hey mate. I know that you prefer the images in the career section to the right, but I reckon it looks kind of silly, in that, text floats in between gaps and it looks kinda messy. Do you reckon we could give the other way a go for a while, see what other people think? Anyway, I updated a lot of the text in the Career section and plan to do the same for some of the other paragraphs as well. Also what do you reckon about the filmography? I think the huge table sort of detracts from the article..anyway Im rambling, I know your a regular at the NP page, I might propose some changes on the NP talk page. Anyway, think about changing the images around, get other peoples opinions and so on. Seeya. Forever young 20:54, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Haha. I promise that the image in the introduction will not be touched! That image is actually really great, I think it's perfect there. Forever young 21:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)



[edit] Participant alert regarding Wikiproject on Advertising

The Wikiproject No Ads, created as a backlash against the Answers.com deal, has served an important function in providing a space for users to express their disagreement with the Foundation proposal. While the current controversies about userboxes raise questions about political and social advocacy on Wikipedia, there should be greater flexibility regarding advocacy about Wikipedia in the Wikipedia namespace. Reported and linked by Slashdot and other press sources as a unique and spontaneous occurence in Wikipedia history, it has apparently had some impact as, despite being scheduled to begin in January, not a peep has been heard about the trial and proposed sponsored link since the deal's controversial announcement months ago. Currently, however, there is an attempt to delete the project or move it off Wikipedia altogether. Since the Foundation has provided no additional information and has not attempted to answer the specific questions that participants in the project raised, it is unclear if the Answers.com deal has been abandoned or simply delayed. Until the situation becomes more clear, I believe the group should still have a place in the Wikipedia namespace. Sincerely, Tfine80 00:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Comintern members

Hi, I have proposed (on the talk page for the cat) a renaming. "Members" is akward - the word makes sense for Parties. Could we rename it to "Comintern people" or "Comintern activists"? Dahn 14:34, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Bronks, I don't know which template to use. Could you help me? Dahn 15:05, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again. But we might get static from admins on this one: we were not supposed to do it this way. That's why I had tried to find the template, warning, etc. Frankly, I think that red tape serves no purpose in this case, but we still may get scolded. Dahn 15:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 21% for major edits and 10% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 17:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Update on French Turn and Max Shachtman

I thought you might like appreciate a quick Update on French Turn and Max Shachtman; you've recently contributed there and you might have seen that a moderation was attempted on some disputed edits made by User:Jacrosse. He agreed to the moderation but then did not take part in it. It agreed to delete some unsupported and referenced claims (basically, that Shachtman's current, far from fragementing and collapeing into cold-war social democarcym actually effected a Leninist takeover, both of US social democracy and then of US neo-conseratism. At this point Jacrosse is engaging in obvious acts of vandalism without even beginning to comment on the Talk pages. Perhaps Jacrosse will sit down to Talk, however it seems unlikely. Arbitration may be on the cards. If you can spare a little time over the next week or two, I would appreciate it if you could pop into Talk:French Turn or Talk:Max Shachtman. Your contribution has been very valuable and, of course, the danger is that all parties in this dispute get tangled up and lose our way towards improving the entries. Thanks for the help you've already given. --Duncan 17:10, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Astor hälsar...

Hej Bronks! WP blir ibland en trist mix av ankdamm och egotripp och i synnerhet gäller det SV:WP, som jag har upplevt det. När kraven på NPOV och "neutrala källor" - enligt tolkningen från vissa tonstarka medlemmar - innebär att yttrandefriheten upphör att gälla har jag ingen lust att bidraga längre. Jag kanske återkommer senare. Jag skall identifiera mig så att du vet vem jag är om jag byter namn! Vi hörs! Astorr ;-)

[edit] Category:Russian communists

Hi, Bronks. I've moved Category:Old Bolsheviks in here, as a sucategory, and erased all duplication within the article. I figured it is safe to call them all "Russian", since they were citizens of Imperial/Soviet Russia (a centralized state), no matter what their actual ethnicity was (which I suppose was the source of your reticence in placing all Old Bolsheviks in "Russian Communists"). I have also included Mayakovsky in "Old Bolsheviks": even though his article does not state it, I assume he joined the Bolsheviks before October. However, I might be wrong. Regards, Dahn 07:20, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image of trotsky

Hi

I can see that you a while ago uploaded a image of Trotsky (see it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Trotsky_militant.jpg).

I need a better version (better dpi) because I need to print it. Can you help me with that?

Best regards

[edit] Lenin article

Thanks for your feedback! I try to make the articles as neutral as possible, presenting all the facts. These techniques were pretty much institutionalized in Russia long before the revolution; Lenin just continued the existing system. Kwertii 00:28, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Yetta Barsh Shachtman

If you cannot supply good reason why she deserves a separate article, it will be tagged again for speedy deletion. I cannot promise that the next person who follows the speedy tag will be so willing to cut you slack as I was. Since there is no link to the article, not even from that for the man you allege is her husband (which oddly does not even mention that he was ever married), there is nothing to suggest that she even deserves mention anywhere on Wikipedia, much less her own article. Might I suggest you visit Clusty and do some expanding of that article before it gets retagged? HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 15:11, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ali Esbati, a Stockholmian!

Hi! I reverted your removal of the Stockholmians category on the article on Ali Esbati. The reason I stated in the talk page reads as such:

Ali Esbati can most definitely be categorized as a Stockholmian. Definition on the category page:
This category refers to people who were born and/or grew up in Stockholm, hence have the Swedish Capital as their hometown. The category doesn’t include people who moved to Stockholm at an adult age, or only lived in the city for a short time.
As he moved there at the age of ten, I would deem that he grew up in Stockholm. It is most definitely his hometown. Jobjörn 22:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I hope you're OK with that. Best regards, Jobjörn 22:50, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay, maybe you're right... Bronks 10:55, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Yxa.blod.Keira.Knightley.JPG

Please do not remove the fairusedisputed tag without providing the mandatory detailed fair-use rationale for each use of the image, Image:Yxa.blod.Keira.Knightley.JPG, as required by the license. --Yamla 15:33, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

You said: "I added the source you asked for. Why did you delete it then...?"
Okay, well the image is still missing a detailed fair-use rationale for each of its uses. Given that it is a promotional photo, it may only be used to promote the movie. That makes its use in King Arthur (film) okay (so long as you add the detailed fair-use rationale) and possibly the use in Keira Knightley as well as that article specifically discusses the movie. Remember, though, that the image cannot be used simply to illustrate the person depicted. Also, every single use requires a detailed fair-use rationale. --Yamla 17:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Yxa.blod.Keira.Knightley.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Yxa.blod.Keira.Knightley.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}}.

Please signify the copyright information 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. Abu Badali 12:20, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category talk:Social democratic newspapers

[edit] Brunkeberg Tunnel

I don't understand why people put up articles with just one sentence. I think it behooves you to write some text about who built the tunnel, why it was built, interesting history, etc. It appears that the page was created simply to show a neat photograph that you took! Its not an article, its like a factoid in the U.S.A. Today newspaper. george 12:25, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

As a recent editor on Hugo Chávez, can you review developments on Talk:Hugo Chávez and let us know which version you think we should move forward with, considering that either version we pick will need work? Thanks ! Sandy 14:42, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] August Spångberg

I look forward to seeing the August Spångberg piece improve everyday. Thanks for your knowledgable edits!

I do not have the newspaper name/date for the obituary. My guess it was published either Stockholm or Charlottenberg around June 22, 1987. I think we need to add a source needed message, unless you have access to these papers and can provide a source. I was in Sweden last month but did not get off the train in Charlottenberg on our way from Oslo to Stockholm, so I did not get a chance to see if his papers were in the library. There is someone who knows August backwards and forwards regarding his political activities: Håkan Blomqvist at the Institute of Contemporary History, Södertörn University College. Have you talked with him?

Diogenes99 18:22, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

I have read Håkan Blomqvist's book about Nils Flyg, that's all I know of him... Bronks 19:07, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Blomqvist teaches a course using Spångberg as a central figure. I emailed him some audio of Spångberg speaking. You'll have to expalin to me why his last name was Spångberg and not Augustsson. Diogenes99 02:23, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

68.53.97.54 01:27, 6 October 2006 (UTC) On the religion of August, when he visited my genadparents and parents in America in 1955 he recorded Christmas songs and wished everyone back home a merry Christmas. Is there a source for his religion?

Spångberg was a member of the Swedish communist party. If he had been a crhistian he would have been expelled from that party! But that doens't mean he couldn't enjoy christmas. Bronks 09:22, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. When I know enough Swedish to ead his book, perhaps I will know more and be able to write a paragraph on his major legislation. I appreciate all your tweaks and work on the Spangberg page. Diogenes99 17:50, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Thank you too. I like the work you have put into it, making it a good article. Bronks 20:21, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mona Sahlin and FNL

Hello, I noticed that you inserted a possibly quite controversial statement in the article on Mona Sahlin. Do you have a source for that? It would be greatly appreciated. Tack på förhand, Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 11:47, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

I took it from the Swedish wiki, and you can also see it mentioned in todays Dagens Nyheter (19 january), there is nothing strange about it... And it is nothing controversial about FNL at all! Almost everyone in Sweden was against the Vietnam War, and many young people, especially socialists, joined the Swedish FNL groups. Bronks 13:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I'll cite it from DN later then. But, even though I most certainly would have joined FNL if I had been alive back in the days, I do believe it is quite controversial in some circles (i e, Timbro-aligned circles) - considering the controversy surrounding Lars Ohly being a "communist", you can't be too sure. But, it's stated in this article, so well. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 13:15, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Okay, good. Sure, of course many or all conservatives and rightist liberals found it wrong to support FNL... But the fact that a social democartic leader like Mona Sahlin has a background with the FNL movement it not controversial. Most of them do, propably even Göran Persson. Bronks 13:41, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Source for Joe Hill reference in Anton Nilson article?

Hello,

I'm curious as to your source for the below paragraph regarding Hill's leadership in support of Nilson et al.

"However, after a while the public opinion sided with Anton Nilson, Algot Rosberg and Alfred Stern, and a massive campaign was launched to have them freed. Thousands of international meetings were held in their support, including 600 meetings amongst workers in the United States, organized by the I.W.W. and with Joe Hill as a leading participant."

Thanks very much. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by EyeWobbleWobble (talk • contribs) 15:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC).

Hey, hey. I think you will find it in: Ture Nerman's Joe Hill - Mördare eller martyr?, but also in some of the many books about Anton Nilson. But it is all in Swedish. Bronks 16:00, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Kungensmoks.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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.

[edit] AfD nomination of Érika Ortiz Rocasolano

An editor has nominated Érika Ortiz Rocasolano, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Érika Ortiz Rocasolano and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

You're not all too NPOV either, I'd say. Please see Talk:Carl Bildt#POV dispute for further discussion. Also, I believe other Wikipedians would appreciate if we communicated in English when dealing with non-trivial matters - such as this. Peace! Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 01:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sabbatsbergs sjukhus

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Sabbatsbergs sjukhus, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (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.

A tag has been placed on Sällskapet, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. HarryHenryGebel 18:07, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Billingen

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Billingen, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Christer.pettersson.policephoto.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Christer.pettersson.policephoto.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. Lokal_Profil 10:34, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Anti.emu.sweden.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Anti.emu.sweden.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation 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. Addhoc 15:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discrimination of XX in XX

I have tried to bring out the issues you pointed out, but some have been deleted by anonymous POV pushers, possibly involved in the conflict itself.

In the image Image:Lenin.platten (2).jpg, there is a slogan written in English on the banner in backgraound. If you know why that is, perhaps you should note the reason Faustus Tacitus 01:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Folke Filbyter

Sorry for pestering your article on Folke Filbyter, but early Swedish history is in a horrible state and reading substandard articles on Swedish Wikipedia keeps me away from the place. What I am curious about and what has to be explained in the article is "which legends he appears in".--Berig 16:07, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

One thing that puts me off with Swedish wikipedia are all the cranks who fill early historic Swedish people with assertions of "fictiveness" or the phrase "not historically confirmed". I have verified Folke Filbyter in Nationalencyklopedin and since it was written by a professional historian there was no information about his being fictive or not. This is only natural since it is impossible to know.--Berig 19:58, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that is true. So far back in history, no one knows if the some of the stories are really true or just legends. And if you go waaaaay back they say that the God Oden was the first King of Sweden... Bronks 08:35, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, Gylfi preceded him ;-). In the twilight zone between mythology and history that we call legend, I like everyone to make his or her own decisions about what is true or not.--Berig 11:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
PS, assertions about historicity or fictiveness are also in gross violation of the principle of WP:NPOV. Why? Because if you read a Marxist historian like Dick Harrison or an anti-royalist like Curt Weibull you get one picture, but if you read a nationalistic/patriotic scholar like Birger Nerman, you get a totally different picture. There is a great deal of ideology involved in the judgement that individual historicans pass on "historicity".--Berig 12:44, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adam Egede-Nissen

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Adam Egede-Nissen, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (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. 172.132.175.217 18:54, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I removed the tag, because it is obvious that he had a national role and the article can be easily expanded.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:S_wollter_press.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:S_wollter_press.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 {{di-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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 03:33, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Fjodorfuckyou.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Fjodorfuckyou.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:Fair use, 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.

[edit] Notability of Tony Olsson

A tag has been placed on Tony Olsson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please also note that there are special guidelines regarding biographies of living persons. Material asserting that a person is a neo-nazi bank robber must be sourced, to avoid serious legal issues that can arise from unsoured claims (especially if they are false). --Cheeser1 16:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of Swedes who died in the Spanish Civil War

An editor has nominated List of Swedes who died in the Spanish Civil War, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Swedes who died in the Spanish Civil War and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 09:14, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Mannen.pa.taket.jpg

I have tagged Image:Mannen.pa.taket.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:MalcX,svenska.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:MalcX,svenska.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 (talk) 03:53, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mosleys.life.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Mosleys.life.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Spartacus fight.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Spartacus fight.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 09:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rosenzweig (talk) 09:48, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
