[edit] User:Sleepydragn1/Sandbox
Page is basically a copy of the Runescape article and includes fair use images, which are forbidden in userspace by Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy item #9. Boricuaeddie 17:46, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Slay - Violates WP:UP. --Hirohisat Talk 18:23, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Disenchant per nom. Improper use of userspace.--WaltCip 18:52, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Burn - Unfortunately... there is no need for this. ~Iceshark7 19:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- Devastate using Fire Blast duplicate of RuneScape, unnecessary clutter. By the way, I removed the invalid fair-use images. Melsaran 20:41, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I've nowikied the interwiki links and categories for now. Sometimes users legitimately have a copy of an article in namespace because their experimenting with modifications to the article (in which case this would be properly labelled as a "sandbox". User's last edit was June 24 (and his last edit before that was May 28) so perhaps he has left. If the user offers no defense for this page by the end of the MfD period, then delete. bd2412 T 23:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- I understand your position, but if the user wanted to re-write the article, he should have done so in the Talk namespace, not his personal userspace. If he just wanted to have a personal copy of the article, then he violated the userspace guidelines. Either way, it has to go, whether he gives a reason or not. --Boricuaeddie 23:30, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
- When have we ever rewritten articles in Talk space? — The Storm Surfer 21:51, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- See this. What I meant was that his personal userspace may not be used to have a personal copy of an article with categories and fair use images. --Boricuaeddie 23:58, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
- The talk namespace usage is news to me, but anyway user subpages they can be used for works in progress. Whether this is a work in progress is debatable. The user hasn't been around in a while, but there's no way to know when or if they'll come back and continue working on this. — The Storm Surfer 04:15, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
