[edit] Maredsous beer

I completely redid this article. I saw that the entire thing was lifted from the Duvel website, which is most likely a copyright violation. Feel free to add any more information as I left it quite basic.Beakerboy 16:37, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rex Goliath

Hi, I deleted your recent article because it did not provide independent verifiable sources that it meets the notability guidelines. Obviously the company website is not itself an independent source, and phrases like "They experienced a great deal of success" read like an advertisement unless supported by facts and figures.

You need to provide non-company references, indicate why this company is notable (there are hundreds of wine producers around the world) and either remove or verify the more POV bits. Personally, I'd also link the grape varieties, (I'm sure there are articles for most of them). If you have not kept the text, it is here Jimfbleak 05:26, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rex Goliath

A tag has been placed on Rex Goliath, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. T Van Wormer 20:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Rex Goliath

This page keeps being put up for deletion because it does not provide enough neutral information on the topic. Instead of writting how sucessful it is (has been) give some history on the business, how it was started, where it is located, the products it sells (but DO NOT list the prices or any info that may sound like an advert). Provide as much NEUTRAL information as possible, do not word anything that may make it sound like an advert, and make it longer than 5 sentences. If you have any more questions feel free to ask, T Van Wormer 21:02, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately I can not get your template back, sorry. T Van Wormer 21:04, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome, if you re-write the page, once you post it you can run it by me to see if it is okay. Also if the deletion tag gets placed on it agian you can add {hangon} under the deletion tag and explain why you think it should not be deleted. T Van Wormer 21:16, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
If you need something to model your page after this one is a good one: Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch). Note that it is just facts about Budweiser and does not list prices of products and has enough context and information. T Van Wormer 22:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Ayinger oktoberfest marzen.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Ayinger oktoberfest.jpg. The copy called Image:Ayinger oktoberfest.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.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Saison logo.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Saison logo.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. 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 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 21:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Speedy deletion of Matt Tepper

A tag has been placed on Matt Tepper 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 person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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.

[edit] Speedy deletion of "Techno Viking"

A tag has been placed on "Techno Viking" requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Technoviking.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Technoviking.gif. 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. MECU≈talk 16:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Technoviking.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Technoviking.gif. 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, then 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, then 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. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 16:56, 27 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Notability of John McStravick

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on John McStravick, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because John McStravick 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 John McStravick, 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] Cingular All-America Player

Noticed you added Michael Crabtree then reverted. I think your first instinct was right. The article needs to be updated and moved since "Cingular is the new AT&T" and it is the same award (compare the previous three winners to those listed here). What are your thoughts? →Wordbuilder (talk) 20:23, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and moved the page, updated it a bit, and added Crabs back to the list. Here it is: AT&T ESPN All-America Player. →Wordbuilder (talk) 16:26, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Jaco.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Jaco.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) 22:55, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Radeberger.gif

Thank you for uploading Image:Radeberger.gif. 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. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Armen Williams

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Armen Williams, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Armen Williams.
