[edit] Firecrest

Hi, I think you should add some licensing info to your pictures at commons. Take a look at some other images, e.g. this one has a dual license which is denoted in its description with self2|GFDL|cc-by-sa-2.5 template. Here "self2" is a template for self made photos, "GDFL" is the first license and "cc-by-sa-2.5" is the second one. But of course you can choose the license that suits you best. The whole selection of available licenses is available at Commons:Copyright tags. Anyway, you should better always add a license to your pictures immediately, otherwise sooner or later there'll be someone deleting them. I've even had a case when someone tagged mi picture for deletion immediately, while I was still uploading it!

You're right that Firecrest is pl:zniczek but I have no idea how "Madeira Firecrest" would translate properly. --Lysytalk 16:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit summaries

Although it is encouraged to sign comments with four tildes on talk pages, the four tildes are not converted into a signature when you use them in an edit summary. They just remain as four tildes in the article history, like this. Brianhe (talk) 00:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Norton Classic, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Norton Interpol 2, etc. ww2censor (talk) 04:55, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Hecker (motorcycle)

A tag has been placed on Hecker (motorcycle) 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 page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Jb0007 (talk) 10:02, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced motorcycle articles

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Most of the new motorcycle article you have added have no sources and they need that, otherwise, as has already happened with the Hecker (motorcycle) article, they will likely be put up for deletion. Hopefully you can add sufficient extra text with verifiable sources. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 00:18, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Nonsense of Marusho

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Marusho, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Marusho provides no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Marusho, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
