[edit] Law enforcement in France

Hi, in Law enforcement in France you replaced "royal polices" with "royal police". It seems that each of the two kings of Futuna has a chief of police (which would mean there are two royal LEAs, or three if we add the king of Wallis, hence the plural), but I don't know if it's only an administrative title (in French law, "police" sometimes refers only to the fact of issuing administrative regulations) or if these chiefs also have law enforcement officers (I read that the local newspapers was raided by the police of the king of Wallis). Please tell me if you have more information. Thanks. Apokrif 13:41, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:MercerMuseum.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:MercerMuseum.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Image Tagging Image:PICT1669.JPG

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:PICT1669.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 03:54, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Median (disambiguation)

It seems to me that the Biblical sense of Median (the 3rd entry) is the same as the second sense of Median on the disambiguation page -- namely the Iranian people south of the Caspian that Cyrus captured in 550 BC. Is there a difference that I'm not aware of? Thanks, --jonsafari 01:58, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "In abstentsia lucii, tenebrae vicii."

Just a correction, it should be: "In absentia lucis, tenebrae vincunt." Don't know where you took this one, but it was totally wrong ;) --giandrea 15:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copy and paste move

Hello, Tomtom9041. Please do not copy and paste articles, like Spanish Legion, to move them. There is a move function at the top of the page. If a page already exists at the new name, you must make a move request. Copy and paste moves split the history of articles and they are difficult to repair. Thank you, Kjkolb 05:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extraordinary rendition

Hi Tom could you please discuss on talk page before adding tags (i've deleted it as it makes articles look unprofessional). For your info Dr Rice has repeatedly admitted the process of Extraordinary rendition, she just claims that the victims of this are not tortured. Alleged has no place in this article, except when applied to specific cases that are ongoing with possible legal action.Hypnosadist 19:39, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soviet imitations

I was very interested to see your list of Cold War imitations, a subject which fascinates me too. However, how many of these are parallel developments, I wonder? Certainly there are similarities between the Soviet Encyclopedia and Britannica, but they themselves are influenced/derived from elsewhere anyway (Britannica being based in Scotland originally), especially the French encyclopedia of the 18th century. Buran certainly looked like the American space shuttle, but I gather had some very different features. The "Concordski", on the other hand, looks and sounds very much like a clone. Nor was the influence entirely one way...

There is one other subject that I have brought up elsewhere, and never received a decent answer to. I have heard that the Soviets also developed an Internet of sorts, whether by direct imitation or simply by parallel thinking. Every time I have tried to find something out about this, I hit brick walls. I presume it was kept mainly under wraps, and used a very different operating system.

The way you have now worded your page is acceptable. Of course, I cannot object if you genuinely believe the things that I believe. But I do think it important that you note whose words and experiences those are, as you have now done.

I know you meant well by moving the Regional Organizations out of the countries by population article, but actually the entire reason for this section's existence was to placate the people who insist the EU should be on the list.

[edit] Guarda Nacional Republicana

Hi,
I noticed that you moved the page Republican National Guard to Portuguese National Republican Guard by copy-pasting its content. While I don't have anything against the title change, I have something against the method that you used. Because it didn't moved the original page's history along with the content. I would like to ask you to fix this, one way could be by requesting the deletion of the article Portuguese National Republican Guard, and then by moving Republican National Guard to the new title using MediaWiki's moving feature.

Also, I would like you to know that the GNR isn't a branch of the Portuguese Armed Forces.
Thank you for your help solving this.
Best regards, Get_It 04:02, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

According to their official website — GNR, A GNR, Historial:
“ A Guarda Nacional Republicana, criada por Decreto de 3 de Maio de 1911, é uma força de Segurança constituída por militares organizados num Corpo Especial de Tropas dependendo em tempo de paz do Ministério da Administração Interna, para efeitos de recrutamento, administração e execução do serviço decorrente da sua missão geral, e do Ministério da Defesa Nacional para efeitos de uniformização e normalização da doutrina militar, do armamento e do equipamento; em caso de guerra ou em situação de crise, as forças da Guarda Nacional Republicana passarão a estar subordinadas ao Chefe do Estado-Maior General das Forças Armadas, quando nos termos da Lei estas forem colocadas na sua dependência para efeitos operacionais. ”
That is, in peacetime the GNR depends on the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI) for recruitment, administration and execution of their general mission, and also depends on the Ministry of National Defence for the uniformity of the military doctrine, armament and equipment. And, only, in wartime or in the case of a crisis situation the GNR will be under the command of the Chief-of-Staff of the Armed Forces. Has you can see this does not make them a branch of the Armed Forces.
Best regards, Get_It 15:43, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Regarding the USCG, it's not the same thing. It seems that the nearest thing to have the same status as the GNR is the Spanish Guardia Civil.

[edit] Narcotics Control Bureau

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Narcotics Control Bureau, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://indiaimage.nic.in/ceib/ncb.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 23:59, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Narcotics Control Bureau

A tag has been placed on Narcotics Control Bureau, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per CSD g12.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. ViperSnake151 00:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GFDL

Hi when you copy some text from a wikipedia project, as you did from the French wikipedia when creating Mobile Gendarmerie, you must give attribution in the edit summary. Also remember if you like you can ask for proof reading of your translation, especially if you used software to translate, as it is many cases incomprehensible. If you don't say where the article came from originally and leave incomprehensible sentences then it becomes more difficult for people to correct them. Jackaranga 09:04, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:User categories for discussion on -isms

Hi. A user category that you are in has been proposed for deletion at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion. You are welcome to comment. Cheers! bd2412 T 02:22, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

You're in the category, Category:Deist Wikipedians. The category is tied to the userbox - having the userbox puts you in it, so (in theory) others with an interest in Deism or a question about the substance of related articles will know where to find you, as you might know something about the topic. That is one of a bunch of categories that has been nominated for deletion in a mass nomination regarding all theological positions. Cheers again! bd2412 T 03:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
These mass nominations have been started by some other editors - with whom I happen to disagree - at Wikipedia:User categories for discussion#Singular theological belief. That userbox on your user page that says "This user is interested in Deism" puts you in that category. I felt that it would be appropriate to let people in the category know that it was being considered for deletion. bd2412 T 03:14, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Earth Force (Environmental group)

A tag has been placed on Earth Force (Environmental group) 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 indicate 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. Carados (talk) 17:38, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] History of the sheriff

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article History of the sheriff, 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 History of the sheriff.

[edit] AfD nomination of Robert Morning Sky

An editor has nominated Robert Morning Sky, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Morning Sky and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 00:44, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spaceship Moon

I've opened a discussion for this subject at Talk:Moon. Given the controversial nature, it is appropriate to seek consensus for inclusion first rather than just restoring the material. Thanks. --Ckatzchatspy 18:06, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Please see my reply at Talk:Moon. Let's try and resolve this without disrupting the article, and approach it realistically. The "theory" is not a generally accepted one, and the concept of a "hollow moon" is discredited by science. Given the fringe nature of this, then, you are far more likely to find that the text will "stick" if you can build a solid case for inclusion, and convince others of it, before repeatedly trying to insert it. Cheers. --Ckatzchatspy 09:33, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Cut-and-paste moves

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of Marine (military) This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming articles is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. - BillCJ (talk) 19:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Because of your recent cut-and-paste move of Marine (military), I've opened a dicussion on the article's fate.

Thanks. - BillCJ (talk) 07:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Enfant terrible

I notice that you've added content maintaining that the term enfant terrible originated with Thomas Jefferson. Given that Websters only traces this term back to 1851, and Jefferson died in 1826, it would be useful if you could supply sources to back up your additions. Moreover, the move from enfant terrible to l'enfant terrible is poorly motived. Websters doesn't even carry an entry on l'enfant terrible, only enfant terrible. The article was in the right place at enfant terrible.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ninety:one 15:38, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
