[edit] English pages on the Finnish Wikipedia

Hello!

Are you by any chance the same person as Reinthal on the Finnish Wikipedia? If not then I apologise.

Reinthal wrote the following on fi:Keskustelu:EuroVelo

For Jniemenmaa -
My aim is certainly not to put English pages on the Finnish wikipedia. People in Finland may want to put up a EuroVelo page but may not have the time. If this English page is there already they can use it as a template to help them start a Finnish version.
Please give other people in your country the chance to make their own minds up as to whether they want to translate this page or not. I have done the same for some other European languages (Polish, Slovenian, see the Muut kielet in the sidebar) and within days people who see the aim of the wonderful pan-European EuroVelo project have given their valuable time to translate it.
regards,

Please do not post english language text on the finnish wikipedia in the future. That is simply not the way it is supposed to work. Currently your article seems to have been replaced by a stub. -- Jniemenmaa 14:59, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Naming wars

Since you were either directly or indirectly once involved into edits revolving around "proper" naming of cities like Gdansk/Danzig etc i thought you may be interested in my proposition in User:Szopen/NamingWar. I would want to create a way aimed at stopping the revert wars in future - through creating something like a msg (in see also list or header) explaining that's there is compromise and why, and by linking to the article explaining changes of the statuses of the Royal Prussia province (I would prefer it ot have it as separate article, not scatter it in plethora other articles). I would be happy to hear from you. Szopen 09:17, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for tidying up Scalable Vector Graphics. It needed it. Amelia Hunt 20:07, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Eurovelomap.png

Hi! Thanks for uploading Image:Eurovelomap.png. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help) 21:16, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bomba-learn_to_breathe.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bomba-learn_to_breathe.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 ensure 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 non-free media 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. MER-C 12:44, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Albion

Good work... that article was drastically in need of a cleanup. Orderinchaos 02:06, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] renaming of article

I notice that you have renamed English language learning and teaching. I am surprised at so unilateral a move. This title has been long under discussion -- see the archived talk pages. Also, there is a hidden tag at the top of the article, explaining the title. At the very least, if you wanted to rename it, you should have re-opened the discussion and attempted to reach consensus. Please explain why you felt justified to take such a sudden and major action. In the meantime, I will attempt to revert this change. BrainyBabe (talk) 18:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:MiniCAT.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:MiniCAT.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:06, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Leonard (Australian)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Mark Leonard (Australian), 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 should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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 agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Mark Leonard (Australian).
