[edit] Notability of B'avarija

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on B'avarija, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because B'avarija 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 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting B'avarija, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] The Beatles

Did you even look at what you were editing? Immediately adjacent to where you inserted your edit, there is a clearly written internal comment: "Do not add (deceased) next to certain names, as per Template:Infobox musical artist." Please try to follow Wikipedia's editing guidelines, especially when they are immediately in front of you while editing. Ward3001 (talk) 03:00, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:00-Puolet sun auringosta - Front.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:00-Puolet sun auringosta - Front.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) 03:31, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] February 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to PopMaster, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. This is especially important when dealing with biographies of living people, but applies to all Wikipedia articles. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are already familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add your reference to the article. Thank you. Mayalld (talk) 20:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Popmaster

The contributions that you made had three issues;

  1. They were unsourced. Yes, they have the advantage that they are not copyright, but the have the disadvantage that nobody else can go to a source to confirm that the information is correct. Wikipedia policy requires that facts can be verified from reliable sources, and forbids original research. I'm sorry, but policy simply doesn't allow you to add facts based only on your memory without citing sources.
  2. Whilst I don't doubt the truth of the facts that you quote, it is questionable as to whether what happened on a week by week basis is actually sufficiently notable for inclusion, and whether it gives undue weight to what happened last week. It would have sufficed to say that whilst the contest runs as normal with guest presenters, this wasn't always the case when the celebrity version ran.
  3. The additional facts were added as stark disconnected sentences, rather than being worked into the prose of the article. When adding to an article it is important to ensure that the additions seamlessly work in with the article prose.

Mayalld (talk) 20:38, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

original research doesn't mean that you actively went out and researched something. It simply means putting yourself up as the source, and it isn't allowed.
If we look at the info that you wanted to add;
  1. Aled Jones ran ordinary Popmaster last week - not necessary. The article already tells the reader that standins sometimes run the quiz in the section above, and adding a fact about the ordinary version to the section on the celebrity version doesn't make sense.
  2. Standins didn't run the celebrity version. Fine, cite http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0082l1h to prove it.
  3. First contestants, and Jeremy vine hosting. Again, find a cite to show that it is true.
  4. The whole idea of CPM - this is just your opinion, unless you have an official BBC source that says this, and can't go in.

[edit] AfD nomination of Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery

I have nominated Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ukexpat (talk) 14:16, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your message on my talk page. I am afraid that I will not reconsider the Afd nomination. One of the pillars of WP is notability of the subject matter. Articles about non-notable subjects do not belong in an encyclopedia and should be deleted. If you want to argue your case, please do so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery. Finally please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by adding 4 tildes (~) at the end. Thanks.  – ukexpat (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Krynology and Souvenir (Sestre album) and Samo Ljubezen:Sestre Single

Hi.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Diggiloo Thrush

A tag has been placed on Diggiloo Thrush requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

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. ...... Dendodge.TalkHelp 13:27, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with upload of Image:Tose.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tose.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We requires this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 23:18, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I had to remove that image again. It had no satisfactory copyright declaration on the Macedonian wiki either (in fact, it's listed for deletion even there), so we can't use it, I'm afraid. On the whole, the Macedonian wikipedia is a very unreliable source of images, they have an awful lot of dodgy uploads and false tagging there and hardly any cleanup. Fut.Perf. 15:46, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
