[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Family guy elephant man.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Family guy elephant man.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. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for finishing copying the data for List of the largest urban agglomerations in North America - I took the wife out to dinner, and was pleasantly surprised to find it finished off when I returned. Cheers, WilyD 14:46, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Query

Hello. These seem rather malformed and misguided deletions. The original reasoning was "This practically duplicates Template:Countries of North America": the same can be said of any regional template and to me reflects excessive simplicity, e.g., compare South Africa with Southern Africa. I was unable to comment at the time. Do you think it's worth having a review of these template deletions? Thanks. Corticopia (talk) 17:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I expect that a DRV would result in the deletion being endorsed. Spacepotato (talk) 23:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:AnitaGP 01 cvrB.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AnitaGP 01 cvrB.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 18:46, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your Edits to El Tigre

Your edits to El Tigre: The Adventures of Manny Rivera seem to have no citation, you describe the series as being full North American, seriously, how could a show whose creators are Mexican be full North American. It is not Mexican, neither North American, it is a Mexican North American show. Period. You should accept it, otherwise it will be taken as Vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.140.233.103 (talk) 01:19, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Gutierrez and Equihua moved to L.A. before conceiving the show, which was produced in the U.S. Spacepotato (talk) 01:36, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sport in Saint Lucia

You've now got a multiple round-robin redirect wheen going with your various Sport in Saint Lucia redirects. Please fix it so that there is only one page and all of the other pages are redirects. Redirects directing to other redirect pages don't work. Corvus cornixtalk 00:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

This problem is now fixed. Actually, I was aware of the problem and started fixing it before receiving this message. Spacepotato (talk) 00:20, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Kay, sorry I jumped the gun.  :) Corvus cornixtalk 00:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] IPA

Hi Spacepotato,

Since you've helped out with Help:Pronunciation, I wanted to let you know it's up for deletion. kwami (talk) 02:22, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Esteban

Sorry, I misread his article. I'm trying to clean-up the "American guitarist" category by moving names to their appropriate sub category. Do you think he fits into any of the current sub-categories? I've never heard his music - could his "easy listening" style be loosely classified as rock? Marchije (talk) 21:12, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't think he fits into any of the current subcategories. Spacepotato (talk) 06:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] North America

Why you did not use any reference in the lead for the numerical figures? Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 07:33, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The figures currently there were placed by User:Saaga (on March 7, 2008), not by me. They are a rounded copy of the totals from the table in North America#Countries and territories, which takes its data from the 2008 CIA World Factbook. So, you could add a reference to the 2008 CIA World Factbook if you liked, although I think one is not strictly required. Spacepotato (talk) 07:43, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] German computer scientists

Thanks for your edits. I find it a bit questionable however, that publications are a claim to notability. This would make basically *any* professor notable. Isn't that an exaggeration? Or does it mean it should be handled in an AfD process? Sorry about Markus Kuhn, I missed the previous AfD discussion. KarlFrei (talk) 18:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

As per Wikipedia:Notability (academics), criterion 4, a significant body of work establishes notability. Spacepotato (talk) 18:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
That criterion says "and well-known", which seems important here. Nevertheless, I understand that having e.g. more than 100 publications most likely means somebody is notable. Some of my suggestions were definitely too hasty. I may get back to some of the others with a more formal proposal. Thanks again. KarlFrei (talk) 19:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I think at least some of the articles might well hold up, but they should include a little more, like showing how much they have been cited. Karl, scientists are notable for their published discoveries & the extent of their publication in peer-reviewed journals & subsequent citations shows the acceptance as significant by the experts in the field.

[edit] Will Harvey

Are there really multiple independent references covering this subject as a subject? I do not see them linked and can not find them, just a couple interviews about products. Antiselfpromotion (talk) 15:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The ACM Queue interview discusses Harvey's career, history and views on technology in detail. Spacepotato (talk) 22:58, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
