[edit] Wordlist pages

Hi, another thing: I notice you've been working on a wordlist page, List of Portuguese words of Arabic origin. Nice stuff, but as far as I know, our current rule is that such pages should not be created as Wikipedia articles, but rather in our sister project, the Wiktionary. For some reason they are supposed to be happier there. You might want to contact User:Dmcdevit, he's active in that domain and can help you taking care of it. Cheers, Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for coming back to me about that issue. Yes, you're right, several other such pages are still on Wikipedia - I think many of those were created here and people are now slowly in the process of moving them over but haven't finished all of them yet. That's why I thought it might be good to contact Dmc, he's probably the person who could advise us best what to do. (I've left him a note now.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:51, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP Languages

Thanks for helping with the WikiProject Languages banner! --Ptcamn 20:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Although next time you do something like that please mark your edits as minor. That provides others with a way to prevent your edits from flooding their watchlist. — mark ✎ 18:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] General note: Removing {{speedy deletion}} templates on List of University of Trinity College people. using TW

[edit] April 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself, as you did with List of University of Trinity College people. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Адам12901 T*C 06:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The advice you were given was incorrect - it is permissible for anyone who is not the page's original creator to remove speedy deletion tags, as explained here. Natalie 16:04, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Language"

Please don't move articles like Old Korean to Old Korean language. There's no point in this kind of naming, since there's no other article that could reasonably be named "Old Korean". It only serves to make the article name longer. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (languages) for the current standard.

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Georgewhitaker.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Georgewhitaker.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:54, 16 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] October 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, we remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on University of Toronto. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. I do not want to see this and this again no matter how stupid the vandalism is. nat Alo! Salut! Sunt eu, un haiduc?!?! 19:15, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Calabrian languages

I'm not sure the <<romance langs box>> actually applies here since, although Calabrian languages are generally regarded as a recognizable continuum, they are actually considered dialects of the Neapolitan language to the north and the Sicilian language to the south.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Trinflagsq.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Trinflagsq.JPG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. nat.utoronto 22:30, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
