[edit] Quotations

Commenting on pushing non-notable material on Wikipedia:

Please don't stay here, stay in Sevastopol, make yourself notable, and then someone will write an article about you even against your will :-) Míkka>t 22:19, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

On sourcing Wikipedia entries:

Of course with all matters equal, the scholarly source is more reliable, and, perhaps, the future of Wikipedia would be moving away from non-scholarly sources as a whole. But we are not there yet. I repeatedly argued against using newspaper articles written by journalists or otherwise non-academic people for history topics unless the author's credibility may be independently established. --Irpen 19:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

On dealing with BOT issues:

The page with the rationale should always include the wikilinked article to where fair-use is asserted. Otherwise this bot nominates the image for deletion. Don't ask me why. This is how the bot's operator programmed his bot. You may want to ask him but this user is not very responsive to questions. So, just make sure the article is not only mentioned but also wikilinked. --Irpen
