[edit] images

You have uploaded a number of images claiming they are licenced as "any use". Can you justify this claim? At least can you tell us the copyright holder and source so we can check? The image will be deleted if you can't justify the claims you have made Zeimusu | Talk page 13:33, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Your recent contribution(s) to the Wikipedia article Jan Borysewicz are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at How to cite sources. Thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 13:20, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] John Schneider

The IMDB is an idiot website and isn't considered a reliable source for anything. It's a second,third,fourth-hand source. See this - a first hand source - It explains where the "1954" legend came from - http://www.kryptonsite.com/johnschneider.htm

"John Schneider was born in 1954 in Snailville, Georgia. Or so the legend goes, when John auditioned for the role of "Bo Duke" on the popular TV series The Dukes of Hazzard. The producers were looking for a 24-year-old from the South. At the time, John (born in 1960) was only 18 years old and hailed from Mt. Kisco, New York. John's ruse worked, however; and he got the role of the blond Duke cousin, a role that made him famous." Vulturell 06:40, 24 December 2005 (UTC)


Yeah, I have read it and yeah, you are right. I won't change back to 1954 again.

[edit] Polish Soviet War

Could you please add a source for your recent addition? The sources we have state that it was not the spy, but the breaking of Soviet radio cyphers that gave Piłsudski the necessary knowledge.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 11:03, 26 December 2005 (UTC) I was watching a polish program in Canada a few months back and they had the whole segment concentrating on the Polish-Bolshevik war.


[edit] Image Tagging Image:Photo2.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Photo2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.. In the future, please consider using a more descriptive names for your images. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 11:11, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

What do you mean Borysewicz's picture doesn't specify who took the picture and therefore doesn't have clear copyright? I added later on that the pic was taken by Wojciech Nowak and it was taken from the official site of Lady-Pank: www.Lady-Pank.pl.com.

[edit] Web-screenshot tag

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I've noticed you've uploaded some images tagged with {{web-screenshot}}. This tag is not meant to be used for images that came from Web pages; it's meant to be used for images of Web pages (such as Image:Google screenshot.png, for example). I've retagged the images below as having no license information. Please make sure that Wikipedia has permission to use these images. Then edit the image description pages to include information about the licenses these images are under. You may find an appropriate tag at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags or Wikipedia:Template messages, or if none of these fit you may write a description of the license yourself. You may want to refer to the image use policy. If the use of this image on Wikipedia is a copyright violation, please follow the steps at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion to nominate this image to be deleted. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 18:38, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Image:Ladypank1.jpg

What are you talking about? This has been already settled. WEhere did you take the whole web-screenshot idea from? Read carefully before you post some ridiculous statements. This picture is copyrighted by the owner of the official website www.lady-pank.pl.com. If you have any question, contact them. This has been already settled.

Yes, you have established the source of the image. You have also established that they hold the copyright. Now you need to make a justification for why Wikipedia can use this copyrighted image.
The copyright holder is the only one who can legally reproduce this image. So we must either have permission from the copyright holder to use the image, or we must provide a rationale that explains why the four conditions for fair use are met. Otherwise we risk violating United States copyright laws.
Currently the only thing the image description page gives is a source. It must also include a justification for the legality of using this image on Wikipedia. It falls upon you, the uploader of this image, to provide this justification. If I can help at all, please leave a message on my talk page, but please approach this with reason and without personal attacks. —Bkell 04:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I apologize if it sounded like an attack, it wasn't my intention to sound like that. Thing is, I did not place the image under the "web-screenshot" group.

Excuse me, but the information is right there on the picture itself. This is from www.searchextreme.com and it is for public use. I was already checked with the sitr fell free to contact them again. Plus its status was okay for over a month and now suddenly it's wrong?

[edit] Dolny Śląsk Voivodship

The opening sentence describes the location (in the northwestern part) of the voivodship within the historic and geographic region of Silesia; the aforementioned region happens to be in Poland. "Northwest" describes Dolny Śląsk Voivodship in Silesia, not within Poland as a whole. If you'd like I can add a clarifier to Poland. Olessi 12:29, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Please read the message a little more closely - we need you to put a license on it too, like GFDL or CC. The boilerplate message isn't always the greatest fit to any particular image, but we have many thousands of images any one of which is potentially a serious legal problem for Wikipedia, and we have uploads of hundreds more untagged images each day, so we have to streamline the process as much as possible (or disable uploads altogether, which some have suggested). Anyway, if you were to preemptively fix up all your images, that would really be a big help. Stan 20:22, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nationality transfers in athletics

Hi! The list of nationality transfers in athletics is just that -- a list of nationality transfers in athletics. Thus weightlifters like Suleymanoglu and footballers like Olisadebe don't belong there. Olisadebe should be, and already is, listed in the List of nationality transfers in football.

Thank you for contributing these articles! I have announced them at Portal:Germany/New article announcements. If you write more about the Teutonic Order, please add your articles there. Thank you, and happy editing! Kusma (討論) 21:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I have made many of the redirects from Grandmasters names to the TO article, in order to "catch" different spellings and start a "network" that connects other mentions in articles about battles, treaties etc. That Norum wants to replace them with proper articles is good, that he simply deleted the redirects first is not (blanking). Also, I suggest to remove the numbering and use the most simple name, eg. Konrad Zöllner von Rotenstein instead of Konrad III Zöllner von Rotenstein.--Matthead 21:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you experimented several times until you found a working tag. You don't need to "save page" each try, just use "show preview" and then store once at the end.

[edit] Some tips

Hello Norum! Good work on creating articles for the Grand Masters of the Teutonic Order. Here are some tips that you might want to keep in mind when creating content. Individual years shouldn't be wikilinked (ie 1525, not 1525). Years should only be linked if a specific date is mentioned (ie January 1, 1525, not January 1525). Ordinal suffixes should not be used (January 1, not January 1st). Also, places of birth and death should not be mentioned in parentheses at the beginning of articles. Instead, those places should be mentioned later in the article. Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers) has more information if you are interested. Happy editing!

I note your comment and will happily leave you in peace to build the articles up. Sorry to be too quick on the draw, but have encountered so many total idiots in the last few days that my patience has worn unusually thin. Best, Staffelde 01:43, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Battle of the Ice

Hello Norum! Would you happen to know anything about the leaders of the Teutonic Knights at the Battle of the Ice? The article currently states that the Grand Master participated in the battle, but I have not found a source for that yet (see Talk:Battle of the Ice#citation needed). Also, would you mind providing a translation of Zakon kawalerów mieczowych at Livonian Brothers of the Sword? Thank you for your time. Olessi 19:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

That absoluteastronomy link you found is actually a wikimirror of an older version of our own Battle of the Ice article: I recognized it immediately since I had added the information (subsequently removed). Unless someone finds a reliable source indicating Malberg was actually there, it should be removed in a few days, IMO. To avoid finding wikimirrors while using google, I use the meta:Mirror filter for firefox. Thanks for checking for me. Olessi 15:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Igor Smialowski

i noticed you've accused me of vandalism at deaths in 2006. in fact, i was merely following the policy whereby for the english wikipedia we require an english language source as otherwise anyone could link anything and we'd be none the wiser. please consider adding an appropriate source to the article and checking your facts before you call vandalism next time W guice 23:00, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

i didn't, i first tagged it with a 'citation needed', which i see you also removed. if people are listed on the page unsourced (read also: where the only source is non-english), they tend to get removed until someone can provide a source. W guice 23:06, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
hello again, it's no problem really, i looked at it again and i should really apologise also for being too hasty in taking it off without explaining properly. so... sorry about that. take it eazy W guice 20:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthplaces

I reverted your edits to Robert Nilsson and Alexander Steen, as both were born in Canada and are Canadian citizens. They are exactly the same as players like Zach Parise and Nick Foligno - born to Canadian hockey-playing fathers living in the United States, but their sons are American. BoojiBoy 14:19, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm fine with the way both articles stand now. They should reflect the players' dual citizenship, and as such both players belong in both the Swedish and Canadian ice hockey players categories. BoojiBoy 15:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Done. BoojiBoy 15:29, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Cherie 170x200 RLD fix2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Cherie 170x200 RLD fix2.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud — WP:PORN BIO? 22:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] McGowan's War

Hey. Wow. Someone else added something to McGowan's War. I've been meaning to for a while now as I was the one that created the stub, and it's a critical element in early BC history that needs to be in Wiki, partly because it's going to be ref'd in about another 20 articles concerning the period; same as the Fraser Canyon War which as you can see from the redlink I've been too lazy/busy to write the stub for....Anyway, like your stuff although I should advise you of a caveat on all Digital Collections pages, as they're often either one-sided or poorly researched, and there's no feedback to feed them corrections if they blow it. The whole story of McGowan's War is best told in the book of the same name by Donald J. Hauka, which sets the stage, as well as tells the story of the Canyon War, and also manages to show us that McGowan wasn't the bogeyman other BC histories have made him into (e.g. the Akrigg's BC Chronicle which vilifies him without vilifying his enemies equally). Anyway, just a heads-up; I'm trying to find a public-domain image of Yale or one of the drawings of Hill's Bar (there were no photogs in Yale in the fall of '58) and I'll also try and draw up a map of the British military manoeuvres accompanying it, showing also the mobilized US Border Commission troops in Whatcom County...Read Hauka's book; it's very readable and an eye-opener...17:18, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:St. Agatha's Tower 001.jpg.

[edit] Your re-upload of Image:197390990kpPsRO ph.jpg

Hi. I noticed that you re-uploaded this image after it was deleted. Do you plan to use the image? Wikipedia is not free webhosting. Specifically, the policy says, "Please upload only files that are used (or will be used) in encyclopedia articles or project pages; anything else will be deleted." If this image has an encyclopedic use or if you would like to use it on your userpage, there's nothing wrong with that, but if it is not going to be used, Wikipedia is not a free webhost. BigDT 00:16, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

one image for a userpage is fine...but three images is overkill, I think. I tagged that image accordingly as a repost and it has since been deleted, but you still have two ohter images of yourself. Hbdragon88 03:10, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Marek_Grechuta.jpg listed for deletion

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Marek_Grechuta.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it, but use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. BanyanTree 14:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lady Pank - "Minus Zero"

The song's title (regardless of transliteration from Polish to English) is, in fact "Minus Zero", not "Less Than Zero". It may be that the correct translation of the original Polish song title to English is "Less Than Zero", but the English version is entitled "Minus Zero". That is the English title. That is the refrain. That is what he sings. That is the track listing on the American release. Have you not heard the English version? "Minus Zero"ExRat 05:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:A.Lilja.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A.Lilja.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

As was mentioned, one regular season loss is not permanently encyclopedic. The loss has no historical significance, didn't break any records, or contain any individual acheivements that broke a record or can be considered notable. Yankees76 14:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
So have you gone around to each and every team the Leafs have defeated for their first loss and posted it on that article too? While you're at it can you update the article with Buffalo's first lost for the 87-88 season as well? Or even last season? Obviously that's a joke, but doing so would be about as assinine. Again, it's not permanently encyclopedic, and it's not of historical significance. Yankees76 00:01, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] accidental blanking of Kazakhstan

Hello,

   I noticed that when you cleaned up the vandalism in the Kazakhstan article, in [2] you apparently ended up accidentally blanking it instead of reverting it back to the previous version. In the future, if you want to clean up vandalism, find the most recent version before the vandalism from the history, click on edit this page, and save. This should prevent accidentally introducing inaccuracies when trying to clear up vandalism.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Litvinienko.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Litvinienko.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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).

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.

[edit] Anja Pärson's weight

The site you use as source for her weight lists her height wrongly as 172 cm. She is 170 cm tall, and the newspaper SvD ([3]) lists her weight as 81 kg together with the correct height. Which has more authority - a geocities web page written by AverageJoe or one of Sweden's largest daily newspapers? Since not even her official web page lists her weight, I think the weight should be removed altogether because I believe it differs throughout the season. --Strangnet 18:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 81 kg

She weighs 81 kg. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abu Musab al-Suri (talk • contribs)

We've removed the weight since it's impossible to be absolutely sure about her weight, and then there's the question whether it's necessary to include such data in a biographical entry in Wikipedia. --Strangnet 12:06, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gross5.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gross5.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:PICT0012a.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:PICT0012a.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Butseriouslyfolks 04:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In response to your question . . .

Image:PICT0092.JPG is the same as Image:Justin Pogge.JPG. The former is an orphan, and the latter is used in an article, so I think I tagged the right one. --Butseriouslyfolks 04:34, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought that was probably what happened. --Butseriouslyfolks 07:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Paris Hilton

It is a violation because you say 'the funny thing is' in relation to comments made and then say 'the apple never falls far from the tree' which is also implying something negative without a source. We have to be careful on articles about biographies of living people.-Localzuk(talk) 21:49, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:PICT0012a.jpg

I'm sorry, I don't remember if it was linked from any article. An admin might be able to tell you that. --Butseriouslyfolks 22:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:PICT0080.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PICT0080.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

[edit] Please use the tildes so others can click on your name to find you. Thanks.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --Butseriouslyfolks 04:15, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I was referring to my user talk page. I have to go into the history every time I want to leave you back a message. But looking at your contribs, your posts on article talk pages also have your name as a non-link. Do you have your signature set to something odd in your preferences? It should be blank unless you have one of those fancy signatures. --Butseriouslyfolks 04:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
You got it! --Butseriouslyfolks 05:58, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Back in 06 you started the article Günther von Schwarzenberg, reading "Günther von Schwarzenberg was the eighth Grand Master of the Teutonic Order. was the eighth Grand Master of the Teutonic Order." However, the WP articles on Grand masters of the Teutonic Order and the individual grand masters (& the corresponding articles in the German WP, list he eighth master as Günther von Wüllersleben. Probably what you have is an alternate form of the name--do you remember where you found it so we can do a redirect?DGG 22:47, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attack

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on this page, by Gay Cdn, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because the article is a page created primarily to disparage its subject or a biography of a living person that is controversial in tone and unsourced, where there is no neutral point of view version in the history to revert to. (CSD G10).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting the article, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:43, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy Image Deletion

Further to your comment on my talk page, I tagged an image you had uploaded for speedy deletion, not your user page. The image was orphaned and disparaged a living person, somthing in violation of WP:BLP. If you wish to dispute the deletion, I suggest following up on the deletion review page.--User:Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr) 15:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Szczeliniec Wielki 1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Szczeliniec Wielki 1.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:

[edit] What's wrong with that

I saw your comment on Talk:Mike Ilitch (Yes, I know it's old) and just wanted to know, what's so bad about being born in America? I'm not angry, it doesn't bother me at all...I just want to know why you say that. BsroiaadnTalk 22:56, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FC Bayern Munich Task Force

Would you like to join the FC Bayern Munich Task Force?

Kingjeff 20:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I would be delighted.

Norum 22:23, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Go to the page and take a look. Sign up on the members page. It seems that a lot of the current player articles are small. Checkout the references etc. Kingjeff 22:58, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I think we should all take some of the players on the FC Bayern Task Force. What do you think? Kingjeff 01:37, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Agree. I have noticed that you already took three of the current players, so I'll pick Schweinsteiger, Klose and Podolski.

Norum 02:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

There is no rule about taking 3. You can take as many or as few as you see fit. Kingjeff 15:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cherie

I stand corrected on the membership of the group, however according to the Wikipedia External Policy, links to "Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace), discussion forums" are supposed to be avoided. The Yahoo Groups page in question would definately fall under this criteria. Corpx 05:52, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steven Adler

Hi, thanks for your message. In regards to Steven Adler, just because he happens to have a surname that is typically German doesn't mean he's German or German-American. You can't just deduce it from the name itself without any other information. Especially since he got the name from his stepfather. Unless you have an actual verifiable source that can prove this, it's unsourced and does not belong there. I did some research myself, and the only two things I could find were that Adler is Jewish (here, an interview with Adler's brother, who mentions their mother is Jewish [4]) and has some Icelandic heritage. (here, about halfway down the page: Steven: My grandfather is from Iceland actually! [5])DanielEng 08:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:New brent.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:New brent.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Thanks for uploading Image:New brent.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.

[edit] Denninger's

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Denninger's, 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.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Cherie 4.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Cherie 4.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

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. Sdrtirs (talk) 20:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
