[edit] Adoption
The reason that you're not in the category of people seeking adoption is because of some formatting or other edits you've done to your user page which have prevented the categories from displaying - indeed, at present, editing your user page appears to be impossible at least on my browser. I can't work out what exactly happened but the problem seems have started with your edit at 23:11 UTC on 26 November. Are you having problems with your user page as well? If you need me to delete the page and restore the pre-problem version, I will. Regards, BencherliteTalk 13:04, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, checking again, your name is in the category, even though the category is not displayed on your page: look here. BencherliteTalk 13:08, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I do not have problems with my userpage. However, when I started editing something and clicked "Show Preview", the category did appear but there was no place to click "Save Page". I clicked on the place at the top of the page where it is written "user page" (near "discussion")and the category disappeared along with what I just previewed.--Idontknow610 13:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- As I can't see what exactly you've done with your user page to stop it being editable in the usual way and to stop the categories displaying at the bottom of the page, I can't help with that. If nobody offers to adopt you soon, you can always look through the list of adopters and see if anyone there catches your eye. Regards, BencherliteTalk 13:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. Regards, -- Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??) 15:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC) Idontknow610 13:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Adoption
Hi,
I can adopt you.
Please feel free to ask me any question about Wikipedia and to ask for help.
One piece of advice: The design of your user page and your talk page is very unusual and it makes it hard to read them and use them. Please consider using something simpler. --Amir E. Aharoni 14:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- תודה רבה,Thanks a lot for accepting to adopt me. What do I do now so that it will show that you adopted me? Also, I do not see anything wrong with the design of my userpage. I just know (you can see the previous discussion)that there is something wrong with my page because you cannot edit it and there is no category.--Idontknow610 15:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
-
- Well, if you cannot edit your userpage, then something is wrong with it :)
- I commented out the problematic parts of your userpage using <!-- and -->. Review those parts carefully and un-comment only the things that you really need. In general, you should avoid such radical changes to the style of the userpage, because it makes using it very hard.
- To tell the world that i adopted you, you can put {{adoptee|Amire80}} on your talk page, although you don't have to. --Amir E. Aharoni 15:50, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I meant that no one could edit my page except me, which is quite unusual, i agree. Well, i think tht you only commented on my talk page, am i right?
Congratulations!

Yeah, well... too late. But thanks anyways :)--Idontknow610 21:38, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I thought you were adopted, but the userbox on your page said you were still adopting so I wasn't sure. :P Thanks anyway, ~ Bella Swan 22:58, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for signing. Really appreciate it. Your userboxes state that you like Basketball. Got any teams? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:51, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I actually like teams from the European League, such as Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Well, I appreciate signing pages, yours is quite cool. Do you like basketball? Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??)
- Of course. You know between you and I, that's how I got tall. So you don't like the NBA? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I really like the NBA, bu I dont normally watch the games. :-) Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??)

I favor the Chicago Bulls. Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??) 00:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- There okay. I got no beef with them. Do you like any other sports? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:49, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I like soccer and american football. Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??) 9:11, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- That's cool. I remember my soccer days. Do you happen to have an NFL team? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:12, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
I like the Chicago Bears. Sadly, here in Brazil you dont here much about american football and NFL. Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??) 22:57, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- What about Soccer? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 01:52, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I do not really play soccer well, but all the Brazilian kids do:-). I mean, soccer is one of the simbols of Brazil, aint it? 15:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Yup. So, what else is there to learn about Idontknow610? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 23:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
U can call me Nadir, if u want. Well, theres nothing to learn about. Lots of Xmas presents to by, huh? Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??)
- Well, you can either call me Blue or Vivian. Tell me about it. My friends want some of the most expensive stuff. Are you buying gifts for your friends? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:38, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, Im not really buying presents for my friends, they can do without it. I only bought presents to my teachers and a worker of my school (today was the last day of school!). Are u buying presents for your teachers and friends? Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??) 10:57, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I bought some presents for my friends. And for teachers, I just bought one a present. So school's over for you? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 16:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Yep, today was the last day of school in this semester, thank goodness. And for u, is school over?

..aren't allowed. See WP:NFCC. You're trying to use the Google logo, Image:Harry potter stamps.jpg, etc. on your userpage. You can't use them this way. --Hammersoft (talk) 22:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
What do you mean? Idontknow610 (WANNA TALK??) 22:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- I mean that copyrighted imagery is not permitted to be used on your userpage. For example, the Hogwarts school crests and the Google logo. You can't use them on anything but articles. Sorry. --Hammersoft (talk) 01:57, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia is not a social networking site
Hello. While we appreciate that you seem to be enjoying yourself, it's of concern that you appear to be mainly using Wikipedia for social networking activities rather than improving encyclopedia articles. Please understand that Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider, or social networking site. If you continue your activities in this fashion, you may be subject to censure from the community. You may find yourself blocked or your user page and user spaces deleted if you do not start contributing positively to the encyclopedia. Metros (talk) 18:05, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
- Hi,
- I have to agree with Metros. You made a few good edits to the articles, but most of your edits are in users' talk pages. This is not appropriate. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 19:41, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

- However, I must comment that he greatly increased my moral by sending a Christmas message to me. S♦s♦e♦b♦a♦l♦l♦o♦s (Merry Christmas!) 02:38, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry you guys. I am working hard now in creating and expanding new articles, mainly translating articles from Portuguese. You can see this here. -- Idontknow610 (WANNA SIGN??)
- I saw it and it is good. Being friendly to other users and making new friends is OK, but using Wikipedia only to make friends is not so good. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 11:52, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I know that I'm late, but thanks for the Merry Christmas wishes. Cheers! SexySeaBass 12:36, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Wander Pires
A tag has been placed on Wander Pires requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
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. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 13:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
It is not up to me to decide whether the article will actually be deleted or not. As the Portuguese Wikipedia does not have the same clientele as the English Wikipedia, the interpretation of what is notable may vary from administrators in one language to administrators in another. I also noticed that someone inserted cleanup tags on top of my deletion tag, so I guess there is hope. Actually, I withdrew my speedy deletion tag and left the long-term notability concern tag that was inserted by that other editor, and it may take a while before deletion is considered again. I must admit that this case is very borderline: I've never heard of someone beconing encyclopedia-notable as an interpreter. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 14:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Paulinho Mocidade
A tag has been placed on Paulinho Mocidade 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 a band, 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 musical topics.
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 (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Dougie WII (talk) 18:54, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Different language versions of Wikipedia may have different notability standards. Just because an article is deemed acceptable by a foreign language version of WP doesn't mean it's acceptable here. This article was about a musician and the article didn't assert anything that would come close to meeting the WP:MUSIC notability guidelines. -- Dougie WII (talk) 17:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Note: if you are familiar with the subject and its notability can be established, you can always recreate the article citing reliable, 3rd party sources to establish notability. -- Dougie WII (talk) 19:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey, the problem is that the article still cites only Third Party Reliable Source. It needs more. For now, I'll leave it alone, but a priority for the article should be giving it more Third Party sources.--CastAStone//₵₳$↑₳₴₮ʘ№€ 17:21, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Dudunobre.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Dudunobre.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:24, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Dudu nobre.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Dudu nobre.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Dudu Nobre image
Hi,
You uploaded an image of Dudu Nobre - Image:Dudu nobre.jpg. You provided a source for the image, which is very good, but you should properly note the copyright status of the image. I didn't check the details myself, but most probably it is a copyrighted image, which is not released under a free license such as GFDL or Creative Commons. For such cases you may tag the image as "fair use". Read Wikipedia:Non-free content (shortcut: WP:FAIR) to see whether this is appropriate. If it is, please follow the instructions there to tag the image.
Wikipedia's policy on "fair use" is getting stricter as time passes, which is ultimately a good thing, because restrictive copyright and "fair use" go against the spirit of free content, which is a core policy of Wikipedia. Therefore, you should be very meticulous about it when you are uploading images. Images which are not tagged properly will be deleted after some time.
To summarize: The first thing you need to do is to read the copyright notice on the website where you took the image. If it's the regular type of copyright, see Wikipedia:Non-free content.
Feel free to ask me for help! --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 07:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- The source site of the Image:Dudu_nobre.jpg does not cite any copyright and does not limit a person's reproduction of anything contained in the site. What license can I put then? --Nadir D Steinmetz 13:09, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
-
- Does it say anywhere explicitly that the site does not limit a person's reproduction of anything contained in the site? If a site doesn't say that explicitly, you cannot assume it. See Wikipedia:Copyrights: "All works are copyrighted unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed."
- Unfortunately, if we don't have an explicit permission, we must assume that an image is copyrighted and not free.
- Read Wikipedia:Non-free content and tag the image according to instructions there. --Amir E. Aharoni
(talk) 13:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- Thanks. How do you put the tag "fair use"? --Nadir D Steinmetz 13:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
-
-
-
- The answer is in Wikipedia:Copyrights in the section "Implementation and enforcement".
- It may seem long and bureaucratic, but unfortunately that's how copyrighted images work. Actually that's why we don't like them in the first place :) --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 14:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Guarapiranga 1.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Guaraipiranga.jpg. The copy called Image:Guaraipiranga.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads.
