[edit] good batch of prods

Good catch on those spammy articles on business methods. DGG (talk) 07:39, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks: they are the result of simple Google searches, the first batch for "solution provider" / "solutions provider", the second for "management solution". More will be forthcoming once I formulate the search strings that will find what I am looking for. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:53, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Is Wikipedia full?

  • Is there no room for an article on Latin mnemonics? Jonathan de Boyne Pollard (talk) 18:21, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Individual Software Packages

Why would articles on individual software packages trouble you? Shouldn’t any notable program that has tens of thousands of users have an informative article about it on wikipedia?

[edit] AfD nomination of List of tuberculosis victims

I have nominated List of tuberculosis victims, 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/List of tuberculosis victims. 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.

[edit] Article mistitled

The article you created in 2003 Sadducismus Triumphatus has a misspelled titled (one "d"); hoping you'll take on the chore of moving it to a newly named article and putting in a redirect on the old. True, it is also widely misspelled elsewhere. Please see the talk page there for the confirming evidence. Photo captions and links need fixing, too. Thanks. 5Q5 (talk) 21:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for making the change. Looks great. 5Q5 (talk) 22:37, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Hurley

New article and has some very good content, but I don't think the wording is in line with WP:NPOV. What do you think? Chengwes (talk) 19:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the part that bothers me the most is "even though his school is small and has been on the brink of bankruptcy and has never owned its own gym" or "ranked number one in the U.S. even though it does not have any player taller that 6-foot-5. St. Anthony, run by Felician nuns, has just 235 students." They're not sourced. The majority of the content is fine, I just feel like the lead paragraph should be toned down a little. Thanks for your input. Chengwes (talk) 23:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ilsashewolf.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ilsashewolf.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media 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. Project FMF (talk) 03:49, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:SantaClausConquersMartians.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) 04:51, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SELA - Semiconductor Engineering LAboratories

Dear Smerdis of Tlön,

Concerning our article, you mentioned: "— is so bad that it would be better to start from scratch. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2008 (UTC)"

I cannot understand what is so bad, and how can it be improved ?

Your comment is too general.

Please advise exactly: what do you mean.

Yermi H.

[edit] SELA - Semiconductor Engineering LAboratories

Thank you for your answer.

Could you help on receiving the backup of the article, so that I can go through, examine and restart?

I did not keep a backup.

[edit] Unusual chess openings

Do you know if Benjamin and Schiller's Unorthodox Chess Openings (Collier; ISBN 0020165900) or Angus Dunnington's Winning Unorthodox Openings (Everyman; ISBN 1857442857) covers unusual replies to Whites 1.e4 or 1. d4, fore example lines like 1.e4 h5, 1.e4 Na6, 1. e4 b5 etc. I understand that all White's first moves are covered in Dunnington's book, but am unsure if the replies are also. ChessCreator (talk) 17:02, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Benjamin and Schiller definitely do. Dunnington is more focused on Black's reactions to unusual first moves by White. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:21, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Avanti Construction

I found a little more information. DGG (talk) 18:31, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Grave goods

I see you have a history of working on the article Grave goods. I am looking at it from the project Wikipedia:Unreferenced articles where it is one of the longest {{unreferenced}} tagged articles that does not meet at least the barest minimum of verifiability. It has been tagged and completely without references since June 2006. It would be extremely helpful if you had some references you could add to the article to help support its verifiability and notability. Thanks for any help you can give. BirgitteSB 19:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for digging those up!--BirgitteSB 20:25, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Avanti Construction

Hi, I wonder if you would revisit this discussion, please? What was a hopeless article has been rewritten and its credentials as a government sponsored programme have been sourced here and in the article there are several good sources. BlueValour (talk) 02:04, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Illinois corn flake

Since you !voted in this AfD, you might be able to help. What's your opinion on the sources provided by Gianniclifford (talk · contribs) and AlbinoFerret (talk · contribs)? Personally, I think it borders on either WP:NOT#NEWS or WP:BLP1E, but I figured another's opinion might help.

[edit] Anti-pattern

FYI, there's a warren of jargon and neologisms here - you seem to have a taste for this stuff. If you're not familiar with the concept, try to guess what an anti-pattern is before you read the article... Colonel Warden (talk) 19:47, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Revisit the Electromagnetic therapy thingy?

Hi, I've recently updated the article Electro-magnetic therapeutic system and the AFD debate for this article. Since I've apparently rebuted most of the arguments by improving the article and proving reliable sources, I was wondering if you would reconsider changing your vote to keep. Surelly it's a notable subject, when you consider it was before the Supreme Court of Canada and you can dowload the transcripts! Thank you. --CyclePat (talk) 23:39, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Maciste-MarkForest.jpg

I have tagged Image:Maciste-MarkForest.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. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 14:51, 1 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] How to leave

How can I permanantly log out of Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fwooper (talk • contribs) 20:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

You said you could do that... how? Fwooper (talk) 21:34, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't really care one way or another, but I don't think I'll be doing much of anything on Wikipeda; whenever I create or edit something somebody always finds something horribly wrong with it and erases it.

Fwooper (talk) 18:50, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually I've made my mind; I don't want my user page deleted. But I have a problem; my user page exists, yet when I try to sign my post on a discussion page or talk page it doesn't show up.

[edit] Help with a spooky bit of Latin

Hi, forgive me the random question.:) I spotted you on the talkpage for the "Latin" article and thought I would ask your advice/opinion. Satanists say Ave Satanas, but one says that "Ave Satana" [1] is correct. However, the theme from the Omen, for which I might make an article, is called Ave Satani.[2] All these claim to mean, Hail Satan. So as you are interested in Latin, I wondered if you could give me your opinion as to which is correct? Merkin's mum 21:18, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Ooh thanks.:) You'dve thought the Omen soundtrack bloke could have checked two words before he used them lol:) Merkin's mum 01:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Me again. In the Black Mass article, it says "Both Black Masses end with the expression "Ave, Satanas!". This is also correct Church Latin, and is a reversal of Jesus' statement to Satan in the Latin Vulgate Bible, "Vade, Satanas!" (Matthew 4:10)." Now I can see where they are wrong, as that phrase in Matthew is in reported speech so that's probably in a different tense. But, could you possibly tell me which version of the Bible that is in, so I can change it? Or did earlier versions of the Vulgate decline and newer ones not, or something? Merkin's mum 23:41, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Oy, Satan!

All hell has broken loose at Talk:Black Mass and Talk:Ave Satanas :). Any assistance would be very much appreciated:) Merkin's mum 12:38, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Eden bust developer

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Electronics Engineering Services

Your "delete" vote in this AfD was edited and changed to "keep" by another user. I assume that this was done without your permission, and I reverted it back to your original delete vote. But if I am wrong, please correct it. In any event, this AfD probably needs a bit of keeping an eye on. Thanks Nsk92 (talk) 17:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
