[edit] Dave Reilly (comedian)

Hi. I'm building a list of all the David Reilly's of the world, and noticed you'd deleted one of mine. I'm fairly new, and not sure of everything, but what was wrong with it?

David Reilly user:reillyd

As can be seen in my deletion summary, the article consisted only of the words "Dave Reilly is a comedian in the United States." Merely having a job does not qualify a person for an article on Wikipedia, and the article didn't say anything else about him. For more, see WP:CSD#A7 and WP:BIO. —Cryptic 12:18, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I thought the Dave Reillys of the world should stick together... I cant believe you deleted me!? Dave "The Comedian" Reilly Cant we all just get along?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.234.221.142 (talk) 15:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fluid depravation test

Maybe a problem. Depravation definition is : Moral perversion; impairment of virtue and moral principles --ArmadilloFromHell 05:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:ClaireLekaPublicityPhoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ClaireLekaPublicityPhoto.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. 09:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Claire Leka

This is fixed for now. The problem was the way of fixing second refernce. It would be better in future if you put your message at the bottom of the talk page and write the article's name to avoid confusion. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 09:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mother I'd Like To Fuck

You have recently re-created the article Mother I'd Like To Fuck, which was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not re-create the article. If you disagree with the article's deletion, you may ask for a deletion review. -  Glen  14:02, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: your Content Review request

I am going to close your request as "declined" in accordance with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mother I'd Like To Fuck. The core issues raised in the AFD discussion were not about sourcing but about the lack of encyclopedic (as opposed to lexical) content. Reviewing the version immediately prior to deletion, I concur with that assessment. Your page was primarily about the meaning, origins and usage of the phrase (including some examples). The AFD participants concluded that there was no reasonable possibility of expansion past lexical content.

I would encourage you to instead expand the Wiktionary entry, wikt:MILF. If you need the text temporarily restored in order to tranwiki the content, please contact me directly and we'll find a way to move the content without infringing on the AFD decision. Thanks. Rossami (talk) 14:35, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

As a regular editor, you can't view the deleted content. (If everyone could, it would sort of defeat the purpose of having deleted it.) Administrators have the ability to review and undelete content as necessary.
My recommendation is that you create a userpage on Wiktionary. Most of us use the same aliases that we picked for Wikipedia (or vice versa). When you're ready, I'll copy/paste the last version of the Wikipedia page to a sub-page of your Wiktionary account so that you can use it to work on the Wiktionary entry. I'll leave a note on your Wiktionary user-talk page explaining where. Hope that helps. Rossami (talk) 04:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Posted to your Wiktionary account. Be sure to read up on their inclusion standards too.
And thanks for your patience. The vast majority of editors here really do want to make the best possible encyclopedia (and dictionary at Wiktionary). Unfortunately, we are a real target for vandals and others who think that "my little joke won't hurt anything". The volunteers who spend a lot of time on the anti-vandalism patrols see an awful lot of bad stuff. Losing your temper and developing a habit of being curt is an occupational hazard. Please be patient with them. And remember the lesson as you get more experienced and start helping out on the vandalism patrol...
By the way, I'm going to take the liberty of adding a cross-wiki link on your userpage to your other account. Happy editing. Rossami (talk) 17:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] edit comments

It's very helpful for users with a lot of pages on their watchlist for editors to leave edit comments when they change a page. In the case of vandalism, there is frequently not an edit comment. So I generally check each and every edit without a comment (and of course, many with). You could save me a few seconds each time by simply saying "request for foo" in the edit comment. Thanks, ... aa:talk 08:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

When you make an edit, there is a little box underneath the edit window. Beneath the box is a button that says "Save page". That's actually french for "fill in the above text box," I'm not sure why they haven't updated it on the english wikipedia. As far as what foo is, See foo. It's everything. ... aa:talk 23:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Help on a deletion review

It's never too late to open a deletion review but I'm not sure that you'd get a different result. If you do open a deletion review discussion, I'm guessing that a significant number of participants would offer the opinion that "we have no obligation to keep it just because Wiktionary didn't want it."

I'm not sure that I'm going to be much help to you because there may not be a way out in this case. Each project defines its own inclusion criteria and scope. Wikipedia has explicitly decided not to be a dictionary and pushes all "lexical" material over to Wiktionary. Likewise, Wiktionary pushes all "encyclopedic" content back to Wikipedia. Some content is ambiguous and the two projects get to set their own definitions of those terms. There is no guarantee that we agree with each other on the other's scope or expectations.

Having said that, I'll also note that the reversal on Wiktionary appears to have been the opinion of one editor who made a regular edit on the article's page. I don't see evidence that this went through any formal deletion discussion on Wiktionary. That one person offered some suggestions for the article on your Wiktionary user Talk page. Those recommendations appear balanced to me but I don't know if there was some other conversation you had that I can't see.

You could also perhaps seek the opinion of some other experienced Wiktionarians. I do some work on Wiktionary but not enough to consider myself really experienced. Sorry. Rossami (talk) 00:34, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Palm Beach Currumbin Clinic

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Palm Beach Currumbin Clinic, has been tagged for speedy deletion because its content is clearly written to promote a company, product, or service. This article may have been deleted by the time you see this message. Please keep in mind that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service. Thank you. Davidprior 14:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help David! (copy from other talk page)

You posted on my talk page that you were going to delete one of my articles, and haven't replied. Is it worth expanding the article or are you just going to nuke it. Reillyd 10:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The short answer: it shall not be deleted
The long answer: I am not an administrator, and so if I feel a page dhould be deleted, I mark it as such (and leave a comment on the creator's talk page). An administrator would then do the actual deletion. This act as a good check & balance, as it means a second pair of eyes are cast over it meaning thay if a user's been too hasty (as I was in this case), it will not be deleted.
Finally: appologies, firstly for the hastiness I mentioned above, and secondly for not replying sooner - I believe another user had commented on my talk to respond to your original comments, and I therefore didn't bother replying. If there was a wiki form of beer, I'd buy you a pint!.
I'll put this on both my talk page and yours. Cheers, Davidprior 00:30, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncategorised Kremzeek

I take your point, a Cat:fictional energy beings created by mad scientists would seem a little... specialised (though it wouldn't be the narrowest category ever created on Wikipedia). What about simply putting the article in Cat:transformers characters? I'm not 100% sure if there's a more specific category that would apply. To get rid of the message, just delete the {{uncategorised}} line from the article -- but please add some category when you do so. Any more problems, please feel free to ask. Alai 15:33, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fully sick

Fully sick would be considered a neologism. Wikipedia guidelines on those are here. Generally, they are ok if they are widely used. So if you can find a usable source where it's used and you can use it as a reference in the article, it's much more likely to get solid footing on Wikipedia. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 05:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I restored the article for you, but I would suggest putting whatever references you have up pronto or else the article will be tagged again. This article explains somewhat why we're quick on the trigger when it comes to articles such as this. And btw, I wasn't the person who originally tagged the article with the speedy delete tag nor was I the one who deleted it a second time. Just saying that to show that I'm not like a big meanie or something. :) We're just very sensitive to neologisms because we have way too many already and we could easily be overrun with them. Honestly, if you want to put up an article on a neologism, I would really suggest writing it in your user space first and then uploading it complete. Much less likely to get it deleted that way. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:27, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
And btw, I realize that you probably aren't a student. But "Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day" is still a good article that explains why we tend to act how we act with articles such as yours. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
and it needs to have evidence of why it is notable enough for an encyclopaedia article Jimfbleak.talk.07:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Exactly. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 08:44, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Sockmonkeycomiccover.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 01:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Enviga

you have a factual dispute tag to this article - however you have not explained on the talk-page WHY you think it is not accurate. I have removed the tag, if you can explain on the talk-page why it is not accurate, re-add the tag.

[edit] Making a list

There's no special magic to making a list that I know of. You might want to review Wikipedia:List guideline first, but basically, a list is simply an article whose contents are arranged in a list-like format. Xtifr tälk 20:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CsBrainstorm.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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.BetacommandBot 23:32, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I do not vandalise pages. Fair use rationales explain how the image meets the points on WP:NFCC; the rationale that was there did not do that. – Steel 13:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:CsBrainstorm.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:CsBrainstorm.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. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Steel 13:26, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:ArmadaIssue6Leader1.jpg

I have tagged Image:ArmadaIssue6Leader1.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 00:50, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Kremzeektoy.jpg

I have tagged Image:Kremzeektoy.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

[edit] Armchair psychology

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Armchair psychology, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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 endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Obina 13:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
