[edit] Edit summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 23:17, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] AfD Nomination: The Medaille Trust
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem to me that The Medaille Trust meets these criteria, I have started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Medaille Trust. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, an administrator will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 13:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] License tagging for Image:Onehundredhours band.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Onehundredhours band.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 15:09, 18 August 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] European Business School
Thank you for the revert.84.168.91.144 23:38, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I reverted the last edit made by the vandal who also appears as 217.237.151.235 and 217.237.151.234. If he shows up again, I will try to get him blocked and would highly appreciate your support in this matter, since he not only keeps reverting accepted facts, but also inserts arbitrary details to discredit others. Apart from this particular incident, he is also responsible for a variety of questionable edits in articles on the German educational system. I realize that the page currently contains too much advertising. However, he is not interested in any type of discussion and prefers to simply revert. I will happily remove excessive promotional language (which I never put in there) once I got this vandal off my back for good. His destructive attitide is my major motivation for requesting a block. Can you suggest next steps? Thank you in advance.84.168.120.192 21:59, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you! The page is now blocked for IP edits. Although this means I can no longer make anonymous changes myself, it is definitely worth it.84.168.120.192 22:41, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Using substitution for templates
When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Vic226 23:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One hundred hours
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article One hundred hours, 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). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] wikiality
somebody mentioned that wikiality is not neologism, by wikipedias definition, it is. It is a new idea that applies to a phenomena (wikiality is a phenomena, it is a craze almost like that of the "get er done" craze. There is wikiality merchandise and a wikiality home page.
It is not nonsense. The article is on a phenomena, an idea. A popular word that people will recognize in a conversation. Some may take it offensive, but the article does stay as neutral as possible. Pw3d is not a real word. There is an article on it and many words like it. Wikiality is one of thoes articles. Some may take it to be an atack on wikipedia. It is not. The article clearly states that this is just a concept. Try to be mature and like a true wiki editer, neutral. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Allatropical (talk • contribs) 00:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Your tagging of Memorial High School (Tulsa)
I wanted to let you know that {{db-corp}} doesn't apply to high schools, and that the speedy tag you added to Memorial High School (Tulsa) has been removed. The notability of individual high schools varies. Some have been taken to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, with mixed results. If you feel that the current version of the article (which is better than the version you tagged) should be deleted, you may want to take it to AfD. --Eastmain 13:48, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your comments. I was too angry, and I over-reacted. (Shame on me...) Thank you again for your reasoned reaction. I wish you well. andreasegde 15:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Why did you reverted my edits? The article already has references and sources. (209.177.21.6 - Talk)

I cannot understand why this article was deleted. It was worthy of Wikipedia and I added some sources. I've written about 15 articles over perhaps four years and none was summarily deleted as this one was. --Jimbo Steamer

[edit] Fair-use image removed from your user page
Hello, Englishnerd. I've removed Image:BWS_Badge.jpg from your user page, as it is a copyrighted, unlicensed image that is being used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia fair-use policy and Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 17:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:The Key.jpg
Hello Englishnerd, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as fair use. The image (Image:The Key.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Englishnerd/Sandbox. This image or media will be removed per statement number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media will be replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. The image that was replaced will not be automatically deleted, but it could be deleted at a later date. Articles using the same image should not be affected by my edits. I ask you to please not re-add the image to your userpage and could consider finding a replacement image licensed under either the Creative Commons or GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 23:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cardiphonia.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cardiphonia.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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:28, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Well done. You (and others) have an article in the top 250 schools on wikipedia.

[edit] Your userpage
Hi Englishnerd. By the way, you may be aware of this, but by displaying your email address on your userpage may make you a magnet for spam. Not that you must remove it (your userpage, not mine), but I am just dropping by to tell you in case you were not aware. Which would also be why I don't remove it myself. How is this the case? I can't say exactly, but I would imagine it has something to do with search engines, like Google, routinely scanning the web.martianlostinspace email me 22:50, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article Masculine
Englishnerd, so far your complaint that it should be kept in until it is agreed that it can be kept out is rediculus. There is no rule saying it has to be kept in when it should be removed, and at present continued inclusion of this section is breaking wiki rules. Please also note that at present there is no discussion as none of the reverters have attempted any dialogue on the talk page on this section. 216.201.33.27 21:52, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:100hlift.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:100hlift.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:46, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Marianne_Curley.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Marianne_Curley.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
