[edit] Your page

A tag has been placed on Special Representative of the Secretary General, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. If you plan to provide more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:Special Representative of the Secretary General. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such material. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 22:16, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lisa Anderson

I think the best solution would be if two separate articles, Lisa Anderson (scholar) and Lisa Anderson (sportswoman) are created. You can do it just by clicking on two red links in this comment. The current content of the original Lisa Anderson article should be copy&pasted to "Lisa Anderson (sportswoman)". The content of the "Lisa Anderson" article should be then changed to a standard disambiguation page linking to both new articles (something like Abdul Wahid, only with different names). All the links to Lisa Anderson can be found by this link and they will need to be manually repaired (i.e. [[Lisa Anderson]] should be changed to [[Lisa Anderson (scholar)]] whenever an article mentions the SIPA's dean and to [[Lisa Anderson (sportswoman)]] when it mentiones the surfer). Unfortunately, I have not time to write an article about Lisa Anderson (scholar) right now, so it would be really helpful if you can do it. If you feel uncomfortable about the last part (finding and disambiguating the links to Lisa Anderson in other articles), feel free to drop me a line and I will do it later. It is the easier than write a new article about the dean. Tankred 22:03, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.pulitzercenter.org/openmenu.cfm?id=1. As a copyright violation, Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. For text material, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source, provided that it is credible.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.

[edit] Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting

What will happen is once the email goes through and everything is settled, the OTRS people will tag the article as having GFDL permission. Once that is done, the contents can be restored. However, the OTRS system is backlogged from what I've heard. If you want to read more about it, it's at Wikipedia:Requesting_copyright_permission. ColourBurst 03:04, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of John H. Coatsworth

A tag has been placed on John H. Coatsworth, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. WebHamster 23:35, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good catch

You reverted an edit to Open Society Institute with the edit summary: "revert to earlier version due to inclusion of what looks like a photoshopped image" [1]

I found the "original" image here: [2]. However it is obviously a flipped version of this photo with a new background:[3]. I've now deleted Image:Sorosforum2002.jpg because of its deceptive license claim. If you come across similar problems please let me or another admin know. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 20:03, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Michael Schudson by Tom Glaisyer.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:MichaelSchudson.jpg. The copy called Image:MichaelSchudson.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
