[edit] Vladimir Putin/Chechnya

Hello MarcMontoni, and thank you for your interest to Wikipedia. However, if you want to write on controversial topics like you did to Vladimir Putin/Chechnya, please first discuss it at the talk page. Okey? Thank you. ellol 16:59, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Preview, Group, Summarize

Thank you for your edits. Please consider 1) Using the Show Preview button (above the Save Page button), 2) Grouping edits together to avoid clogging the page's edit History which makes it hard for fellow editors to monitor the edits, 3) Describing each edit with the Edit Summary box (above the Save Page button). Hu 20:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

    • Thanks for the suggestion, Hu. Being an amatuer, I didn't think about that "preview" button. I've used it extensively since you suggested it, however. MarcMontoni 23:48, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:HarryBrowne2000.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:HarryBrowne2000.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. - crz crztalk 18:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Libertarian Party

A tag has been placed on Template:Libertarian Party requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{tranclusionless}}</noinclude>).

[edit] American Motors

Marc, you should add your name to those interested in starting an AMC related task force/Wikiproject. See: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Automobiles. And keep on AMCing! — CZmarlin (talk) 22:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Libertarian Party (United Kingdom)

I have nominated Libertarian Party (United Kingdom), 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/Libertarian Party (United Kingdom). 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] Gerald C. Meyers AMC template

Hello Marc, I'm fairly new to this and not well-up with templates. Given that the Meyers text already has a link to American Motors, is the AMC template appropriate? I mean, why not also templates for wherever else he worked--or lived? E.g. Ford, Chrysler, Geneva etc.? Cheers, Writegeist (talk) 00:03, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

I hope I can answer your question for Marc ... It is entirely appropriate for Gerald C. Meyers to be included in the AMC template because his significant contributions were during his service with American Motors. The employment he held at the other firms was during earlier career stages and not at the top executive level. He would typically not be included in the navigation templates related to those other corporations. For example, he is not included in the category "Category:Ford executives", but rather in the more general "Category:People in the automobile industry". Please note that individuals may be listed in an unlimited number categories as appropriate (their hometowns, schools, political affiliation, hobbies, etc.) ... and these classifications serve a different purpose than the "templates" that are designed to help readers navigate within a particular subject area, such as is the purpose of the template that combines the various models, companies, people, etc. affiliated with American Motors. I trust this answers your inquiry, Writegeist, and that Marc will concur with the Wikipedia guidelines I have tried to explain herein. Therefore, please add any appropriate information to the Meyers article and enjoy your editing in Wikipedia! — CZmarlin (talk) 05:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for not being deterred by the fact that my question was directed to someone else. Also for so diligently instructing me in the use of navigation templates—so full an answer that I only hope I can retain all the explanations therein. Great that a grizzled 21-month veteran should leap at the chance to instruct a trembling newbie! Much appreciated. Writegeist (talk) 01:48, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:UK Libertarian Party - Banner.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:UK Libertarian Party - Banner.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) 12:28, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
