[edit] Do Not Remove Warning Tags

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. — Mike • 19:52, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Response to You Asking for Help

I'm sorry, but your article has been deleted. Wikipedia has certain guidelines about what kind of material we will and will not have encyclopedia articles about. The article you tried to put in here was pretty much nearly entirely advertising material, and it didn't really tell us why this person was especially notable in the scheme of things. If there's anything specific I can answer for you, feel free to write back here. I'll see it. If I'm not here, though, you can type -- on this page here -- the phrase {{helpme}} (with those brackets), and someone else will be happy to answer your questions. I'm not an administrator, but if you use the "helpme" phrase, an admin would be the one to respond. — Mike • 21:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Can someone putup this photo on Pike Lake ohio?

I cant do it and i need help!

Is the image free (did you take it yourself)? You need to upload the image from your computer to Wikipedia to use it in an article. If the image is free, you can upload it to the Commons (upload) (you will need to set up an account there). Wikipedia:Uploading_images might be useful.--Commander Keane 18:34, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

The new version looks like a great stub (what we call very short articles that will eventually be expanded). Thanks for writing it up. I've added the IMDB source under a references heading. You may reference the current version of the article to get a good sense of what a act(or/ress) stub looks like. Please click the edit button to see the way the coding for bold works (three single quote marks) and other markup things. The link to IMDB is created in a special way. To create it write {{imdb|id=xxxxxxx}} replacing the xxxxxxx with the id number found in the url of the imdb page. If you have any questions please ask me on my talk page.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 21:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikify / sourcing

Hi. I just saw your pages on Meera Simhan and Gianfranco L'Amore and... they're both messes. But, the good news is they can be fixed. Firstly, you need to make a references section for where you got the information from. It almost looks like a copy and paste job from IMDb... which would be a copyright violations... you can summarize and source but you cannot copy. You also need to format it as we do most actor / actress pages. Take Peter Lorre as an example page for how we typically format. If you have any questions just ask on my talk page. Thanks. gren グレン 11:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ferdinand

The two tags that I added were wikify (the article needs to have proper links added as to link to appropriate cross references) and that it is stub, hence not complete. This only signifies that works still needs to be done on the article and does not denote the need for deletion or other such. When members add tags to articles, it is to signify other members to aid in the entry to make each entry the best it can. I hope this helps. -- Jon Talk | Message.

Hi. I did notice that your original contribution to this article was not a word-for-word copy of the Ohio History Central article. However, changing a few words is still plagiarism and a copyright violation by any reasonable measure. Using your own words does not mean you should take somebody else's work and swap out words for synonyms. It means you should write the text yourself. To answer your other question, copyright violations less than 48 hours old are eligible for speedy deletion (criteria A8). You've been warned about copyright violations before. If you continue to ignore these requests, do not be surprised if you find yourself blocked. - EurekaLott 03:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Im confused...Ok here is my problem. I think that the photo that shows the skyline of Dayton, Ohio really stinks. Well I live in the Dayton Area myself and is planning on taking better photos of Downtown. Once I do that how will and can I replace the current photo and how will I get in on to the public domain?... Like my user page....lol?!

Once you take the picture, you will need to upload the picture. If you wish to release your photo under the public domain, upload it to Commons. Then, go to the talk page and discuss changing the picture.--Werdan7T @ 21:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am a Daytonian, but I don't get over to Miamisburg very often. If I find myself in the area I'll try to remember to take your picture, but I wouldn't count on it any time soon. If you live in Miamisburg, why don't you take the picture yourself? I've also been thinking about snapping one of the Victoria Theatre.

Newt Gingrich would be a great president, but I think he faces too much of a negative image to win. I also like Mit Romney and Rudy Giuliani and feel they're more electable. Don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~). Hoof Hearted 20:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Help Request {{tl|helpme}}

I uploaded the recent Dayton Photo above as the logo..And it says is up for speedy deletion. I got permission from the Dayton CVB workers and they sayed that the photos are for public use. But if you want high-quality photos you would need to make an account. Once you have done that then you may do what ever you want. I also called them to see if I was allowed to put their photos on Wikipedia. They sayed yes..and for proof the sayed put "For Wikipedia" under the company bar when you make an account. So I did and I proved it to them. I really dont want that photo gone because I have permisson to use it... Can someone help...Im really confused :O !!!!!

My Image of the Dayton Skyline was deleted even though I had permisson to use it. Is their a way I can reload it and still get it from not being deleted? Do I need to put in public domain next time? A use a copyright tag also?

E-mail permissions at wikipedia dot org first to gain permission to upload the picture as well as the link where you retrieved the image from, as well as the copyright tag. They should assist you from that point. Real96 12:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Back 2 Da Napps

The article Back 2 Da Napps has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies.

[edit] Tech Town & Ballpark Village

Hey Again,

Recently I created Tech Town and Dayton Ballpark Village for the Dayton Area on Wikipedia....and I need your help. They pages are very small because I am having a hard time searching for main facts on both of the places. On google and roadrunner they are all scattered everywhere and I wanted to know if you could help me "update" or try to make the pages a tad bit better...mybe photos but I just wanted to know if you would be interested because I know you do lots with the Dayton Area and such...

Thanks Again!!! MarkDonna 02:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Mark, I think the reason you're having trouble finding information on these places is that they are only marginally notable. Please read Wikipedia:Notability for guidelines on what would be considered appropriate for subject articles. I think you've written just about all you can about Tech Town. Until buildings start going up and people start moving in, there isn't a lot to discuss except for promotional, spam-sounding highlights. I'd really hesitate to write about the Dayton Ballpark Village since at this point it's only a proposal which could be rejected at the end of this month. My recommendation is to give these projects some time, wait for secondary sources to publish reviews and information, then edit the articles accordingly. Hoof Hearted 12:53, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Schuster.jpg

Are you sure that you are the copyright holder for this image? If not, I do not see any information on the linked website to demonstrate that it is public domain. If you are, could you please upload it under a different title. It is interfering with a commons image. Savidan 04:25, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I moved it to Image:Schustercenter.jpg but would be appreciative if you could clarify the copyright situation. Savidan 17:02, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Could you link me to the release on their website? And, if that it the case, it does not follow that you can take ownership of it; you should change it to the appropriate image tag. Savidan 23:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:MBURGMAP.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:MBURGMAP.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nadia Dina Ariqat

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Nadia Dina Ariqat, because another editor is 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 the page.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:MiamisburgLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MiamisburgLogo.jpg. 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.

[edit] Re: John McCain's home state

Usually when a candidate's home state is mentioned, the home state refers to their current state of residency rather than their state of birth. Sen. McCain was born in the Canal Zone, but since he is the Senator from Arizona, his home state is referred to as such. Another example: in 2000, although George W. Bush was born in Connecticut, most referred to his home state as Texas, since he was Governor of that state at the time. This is still a good question, and you had some good insight. --Supertrouperdc (talk) 01:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The Ohio Portal

The maintainers of the Ohio Portal are looking to get it to featured status. They would like to ask all project members to help improve it any way they can. What needs to be done most is the supplying of selected articles and images.
Selected Article: Indian Head Rock

There is a eight ton rock in Ohio that was removed from the Ohio River. This rock is known as the Indian Head Rock Dating back to the early 1800’s, this rock was seen sticking out of the Ohio River and used as a navigational mark for barges along the river. The names of citizens from the town of Portsmouth, Ohio are carved into the rock from the late nineteenth a early twentieth centuries. Some of the names were of well known families from Ohio. They would swim out to the rock, have their picture taken with it or simply carve their names into it.
With the advent of the Locks and Dams along the Ohio River, the rock eventually was submerged, but the legend lived on. A gentleman from Ironton, Ohio located the rock after searching a very long time for it, and he and a crew of scuba divers recovered the rock and took it to the shore to be donated to Ohio for historical value.
After hearing the news about the rock being removed, Kentucky introduced legislation against the removal of the rock. They also want the diver who found it to be prosecuted for removing the rock. Kentucky owns the greatest part of the land the river runs on. Even the Army Corp. of Engineers got involved as to how to move the rock without damaging it. Kentucky wants to have it returned to the river.
