[edit] Speedy deletion of Chicken farm

A tag has been placed on Chicken farm requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

A tag has been placed on A cat like me, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

not encyclopaedic

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pishogue (talk) 20:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Over the Hedge(Ps2)Sypnosis, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Hammy the Syrian Hamster.JPG. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Carol1 019.JPG. The copy called Image:Carol1 019.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. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 15:14, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dogs Life Hints

I've added a "proposed deletion" tag to Dogs Life Hints. Wikipedia is not a game guide. Marasmusine (talk) 11:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dogs Life Hints

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Dogs Life Hints, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 11:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

This article probably won't get saved from deletion because it's a game guide with no encyclopaedic info and there is already an encyclopaedic article on the game. You should try to add an external link to Dogs Life pointing to a non-wikipedia article that contains a game guide/cheats/FAQ etc. --Enric Naval (talk) 14:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Also, as an aside, links to other pages inside wikipedia should go under a section called "See also" and not under "External links". Don't put too many links or they will be removed per WP:EL style guideline --Enric Naval (talk) 14:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
I see that there was a link to Dogs Life Info. That sort of articles should be merged into the main article from the game, and then separated only when the main article gets too big. If you add those informations on the main article and they get deleted because they don't belong, then you can try to make a separate article, but make sure to warn on the talk page and on the edit summary that you already tried to place them on the main article and got told to put it on a separate article, thsi way your page may not get marked for deletion. the edit summary is right under the edit box where you write the page's content while editing a page --Enric Naval (talk) 14:45, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Dogs Life Info

I have nominated Dogs Life Info, 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/Dogs Life Info. 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. —Bkell (talk) 14:54, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] March 2008

Regarding your use page, I must warn you that per WP:NOT, Wikipedia is not a blog, webspace provider or social networking site. I quote "Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they may be used only to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia.". Your user page appears to be violating this policy. You can find networking sites like Myspace that will happily host your personal information. If you don't reword on a few days your user page to adapt it to WP:NOT, I'll have to ask an admin to look at it.

Also, I quote, "Please upload only files that are used (or will be used) in encyclopedia articles or project pages; anything else will be deleted". Your Image:Hammy_in_his_wheel.jpg image seems to be an image intended only for personal use on your user page, and it's not being used on any actual article, and you have already uploaded Image:Hammy_the_Syrian_Hamster.jpg which is already used on the Syrian hamster article. I don't oppose that you upload one personal image for your user page, but please try to use images already used on wikipedia articles. --Enric Naval (talk) 12:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Are there any pages where i could put my picture of Hammy in his wheel, and then it not be deleted?Melon247 (talk) 13:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
The Hamster article already has a photo of a syrian hamster doing a bath, maybe you can add it to the gallery, stating how hamsters need to make exercise, but you will need a better photo, since yours is very blurry, the nose is partially ocluded by the wheel, so you should try repeating until you get a better one --Enric Naval (talk) 14:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Try Hamster_wheel, read its talk page --Enric Naval (talk) 14:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I uploaded a new picture, Image:Hammy Excersising.jpg and I would like to know if this one is alright.

This one looks better. You can try to replace the one on the hamster wheel article, since it's already disputed as inadequate. Or maybe add your photo with a label of "Plastic hamster wheel", and retag the other one to "Steel hamster wheel" --Enric Naval (talk) 15:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lion photo

I uploaded the photo Image:Lion at Paignton zoo.jpg and I was wondering if I could put it on the lion page, the only problem is there was a bit of a crowd round the enclosure when I took it, so you can see some boys infront of me. I do, however, have a photo that I took when I had a chance to get to the front of the crowd, but the lion is facing the wrong way. Melon247 (talk) 20:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

You can use a photo editing program like irfanview [1] or Photoshop to crop the image and leave only the lion on it. P.D.: I tried to do it myself, and I got this [2] --Enric Naval (talk) 09:22, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't think i have either of those things but I used PAINT instead and I uploaded the new photo Image:Lion at zoo.jpg which looks a lot better. You can't see the lions paws now, but they were all muddy anyway because of the ground.

cool. I requested my own version to be deleted, since it was no longer necessary. --Enric Naval (talk) 09:53, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I put one of those deletion tage on the old photo, I didn't know if there was a way to instantly delete it, but it will proberably be deleted soon anyway.

ok --Enric Naval (talk) 10:33, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

By the way, are you and the other people who write about things on the talk pages people who created Wikipedia? Just asking. Melon247 (talk) 13:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, no, it was created by User:Jimbo. I just came here to edit a few articles about history and stayed here to edit stuff --Enric Naval (talk) 13:43, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Joke Pages

Is there a page thats made especially for Jokes? Or is there some template that I can use and make my own joke page? Melon247 (talk) 14:23, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

No, there isnt' any. This is a website for making an encyclopaedia, not a social place for users to make funny pages. Some users make hidden pages and wait to see if someone finds them, but that's all. If you really want to make funny stuff, then better do it somewhere else and use wikipedia only to add "serious" stuff, because if you do it at wikipedia then chances are that one day you find that all your joke pages have been deleted --Enric Naval (talk) 15:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I'll forget about a Joke page

[edit] Pawly Pets Pic

I created an artical about the game Pawly Pets: My Animal Hospital but it needs a picture. I tried uploading several different pictures, but every time it came up with an error saying 'The file has become corrupt or has an incorrect extension.' What does this mean, because I don't think they become corrupt, once I used a picture that I had only just made! Melon247 (talk) 15:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Could you find someone to get a picture of the front cover if I can't work out what it means?

what extension does the file have? Can you open it on paint to check if it is really corrupted? have you tried opening on a image editing program, saving as a jpg and uploading the jpg? --Enric Naval (talk) 16:43, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

I tried opening it in PAINT and it was fine, and no, I haven't tried that, but I can't find a photo editing program, so I'll use paint instead.

I saved it as a jpg, and still it said the same thing.

[edit] when you need help

you could try the {{helpme}} template for when you need help. Just put the template on your talk page with your request for help, and a volunteer will answer you --Enric Naval (talk) 14:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pawly Pets Cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pawly Pets Cover.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) 12:33, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I uploaded it but someone uploaded a different one to replace the one I uploaded so thats why it was orphaned. Melon247 (talk) 09:20, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Book Website

{{helpme}} Are there any wiki pages on fictional books? I know theres wikibooks, but thats just for books that give you instructions on things.Melon247 (talk) 19:24, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. Are you referring to fiction novels presented in full on a wiki site? If so, then likely not, unless the novel is a work that has fallen into public domain (in which case it would be on Wikibooks if anywhere). More modern fictional works are copyrighted, which means we would not be able to produce the work in full on any of our sites. Let me know if you need more information. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 23:50, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Category:Fiction books contains articles about these books, but as Huntster said, we don't have the text of any of them here. Hersfold (t/a/c) 23:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
