[edit] Do Not Delete Template

i've created a couple of articles two times, and they have been deleted twice. i'm thinking of adding some kind of template, with an image that says "delete" in a circle that is slashed. text should say "Please Do Not Delete This Article. It has been requested by a user who wants to keep it undeleted. If you think this article should be deleted, please discuss it in the article's talk page." if you could do a link to several talk pages, that'd be great. i don't know how to link multiple talk pages. it's just a suggestion, because the articles i've made i want to keep. just try, if you can. thanks! talk back in my talk page.

As seems to happen a lot, this is a simple template to make. But it's based on a false premise, namely, that an author may prevent deletion by saying they don't want it to be deleted. As requested, also responded on user talk. -Amarkov blahedits 02:03, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Life in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations

Both the African Union and the European Union has this template, i think ASEAN should also, as a matter of fact i think as many international organizations with some sort of membership should included Briaboru

The requester is referring to {{Life in the African Union}} and {{Life in the European Union}}. There is currently no article on Life in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations that is comparable to Life in the African Union or Life in the European Union, so the template for ASEAN would be mostly redlinks. I just did a Google search for "Association of Southeast Asian Nations" or "ASEAN" in titles on Wikipedia and no comparable articles exist for Culture, Ecomony, etc. Mike Dillon 16:06, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] General notifier for people using a talk page

Text along the lines of "There is a new major article or summary on this topic that requires attention" to place at the top of a busy talk page to indicate that a new article that somebody requested has in fact been created and that most of the people interested in the topic would probably like to look at it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sojourner001 (talk • contribs)

It seems like a simple message on the talk page would suffice. Mike Dillon 14:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Language Template for Tunisian Arabic users

Hi! I am requesting a user language template for the Tunisian Arabic Language Users which is now listed on Wikipedia:Babel, the wikipedia code for Tunisian Arabic is "aen" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Simmy85 (talk • contribs).

Wikipedia:Babel suggests it's "aeb". Would you be willing to translate the Wikipedia:Babel/Levels? I doubt many people here speak that language. --Dgies 18:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
The Tunisian Arabic article also says "aeb" as does the SIL reference page for ISO 639-3 language codes. The code "aen" is for Armenian sign language.[1] Mike Dillon 15:11, 8 December 2006 (UTC)



[edit] League of Ireland football

Could you please update this template http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:FAI_League by removing Dublin City F.C. who folded due to debt. Also, could you please include the Eircom League logo on either side of the title which I have created here Eircomleague.jpg and a separate section for past seasons with the Irish flag on either side of the title, similar to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Premier_Soccer_League. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnfullerton (talk • contribs)

Status:
  • Dublin City F.C. was already removed
  • The logo cannot be used because of Wikipedia's fair use policy
  • The seasons go back to 1921 and there are no articles
I don't think there is anything more to do with this request unless it is made clearer what should be done with the long list of seasons that would result. Mike Dillon 15:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

2101? Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Dgies 06:41, 7 December 2006 (UTC)


[edit] PermissionRequested template

At the moment there does not seem to be any templates notifying admins that a user has contacted the copyright owner requesting the image's use of Wikipedia.

The recommended template below, which may be called {{PermissionRequested}}, is made to respond to Template:Copyrighted, Template:Noncommercial and similar warning templates, and can warn admins not to delete the image until notification has been received.



 This image is awaiting permission of use from its owner.

ExampleUser has contacted the copyright owner, http://www.example.org, asking permission to license this image under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Please do not delete this image or hide this template while a response is expected.

Once the request has been answered, please remove this notice. If permission has been granted, please send confirmation to the Wikimedia Communications committee, as per the instructions on Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.

This image has been tagged since <date>. If a response has not been received one week prior to this date, this image may be deleted without warning.

There are three suggested arguments: 1 - username, 2 - copyright holder, 3 - date.

Does anybody have any opinions on this? ~ ► Wykebjs ◄ (userpage | talk) 17:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

There needs to be an automated mechanism for deleting content with expired permission requests. {{Replaceable fair use}} includes
[[Category:Replaceable fair use images as of {{{day|{{CURRENTDAY}}}}} {{{month|{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}}}}} {{{year|{{CURRENTYEAR}}}}}]]
so perhaps you should include something for a relevant category of unlicensed images, to make it easy for admins to cleanup. Should also add that if you are going to include a tagging date like you have, you will need to force people to subst the template always, as is also done in {{Replaceable fair use}} --Dgies 17:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
That's what I was thinking, Dgies. Unless anybody objects, I can build the template and categories and edit Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission to instruct users to use the template.
I don't know how to create an automated mechanism however, but I'm don't believe it will take much effort for somebody experienced with this. Could anybody help? ~ ► Wykebjs ◄ (userpage | talk) 17:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

No, this is a bad idea. Copyright laws don't recognize what people expect to recieve, they recognize what they have. So a picture should not be kept until a reply is recieved, it should be deleted until a reply is recieved. -Amarkov blahedits 01:01, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
In certain situations, (like RFU), Wikipedia does have the right to use the image but for policy, not legal, reasons it must be deleted if not made available under different license terms. Wouldn't {{PermissionRequested}} be acceptable in those sorts of cases? We might need to include a note on it "This template can only be used for type-Foo copyright problems" --Dgies 07:34, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
But if there are any copyright problems, then the image should be deleted. The policy doesn't recognize what people expect to recieve, either. -Amarkov blahedits 03:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
