[edit] Dust

Oh, my bad. Could you dig up some Reliable Sources on her so the article won't be a target for deletion? Aipzith (talk) 04:58, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you explain what would be considered a reliable source for fiction (re: Dust)? There's about as much as a blurb about reliable sources for fiction, and since primary sources aren't enough to validate the information about a fictional character, I have no idea what to utilize. Would links to issue summaries be sufficient if they come from a site like "Uncannyxmen.net"?Luminum (talk) 20:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, let me see if I can find one for her first. Aipzith (talk) 20:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Okay, here's one: [1] which talks about how unusual it is to have a positive female muslim comic book character. The idea behind getting secondary sources is to show that a topic has an influence in the real world. I'll put it into her article, and you see if you can find any more.

Thank you so much. I get it now. Thanks!Luminum (talk) 01:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

  • Sorry about the warning, it was my mistake. Apologies. Steve Crossin (talk) 07:46, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Kitty Pride

  • Okay, well, I've added the page to my watchlist, per your request. Me? An admin of some sort? Pfft. No, I'm not an admin as of yet (however I hope to be in the future) Anyway, I also reviewed the history of the article, you commented that "you have tried posting to the user why the content is not applicable, but they would not stop". Could you provide me a diff of where you told them this? I checked the talk pages of all the anonomous users, and I cannot see any notification issued to them regarding our original research policy, nor could I find this on the article's talk page. I would suggest you leave a comment on their talk pages, pointing out our policy on original research. Also, you should try to provide more concise edit summaries, such as "removed original research". This also helps people reverting vandalism in a hurry, as a large removal of content, wiithout an explanation, could be seen as vandalism, as when I placed a warning on your page in error. If the activity on the article persists, contact me, and I can file a request for page protection, or, you can file one yourself. Please note, I cannot intervene, as in, stop their actions. Only an administrator can do this, however, I will help anyone that asks for it. And, my apologies for my delay in a response, at the time of writing this, it is just after 7am. I'll hear from you soon. Regards, Steve Crossin (talk) 20:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:163377-wiccan 400.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:163377-wiccan 400.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) 00:33, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
