[edit] DYK

On 8 March 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pingo National Landmark, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Country references

Wikipedia is read internationally. Please do not remove the country reference from articles. Thank you. Skeezix1000 11:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

In general I agree, but typical references for the U.S., Canada, U.K. (and sometimes Australia), use sub-national names (states, provinces), full stop. These are always linked, so if a reader has any doubt, it's easy to look up. Yoho2001 09:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Most articles do, in fact, reference the country. In any event, those articles that do not contain a country reference should be edited to include one. WP:BETTER states that "Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia. People who read Wikipedia have different backgrounds, education and worldviews. Make your article accessible and understandable for as many readers as possible. Assume readers are reading the article to learn. It is possible the reader knows nothing about the subject: the article needs to fully explain the subject." It also states:"State facts which may be obvious to you, but are not necessarily obvious to the reader. Usually, such a statement will be in the first sentence or two of the article."

A reader should not have to consult other articles to determine such a fundamental piece of information, especially when the information was until recently in the article itself. WP:LEAD states: "The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describing its notable controversies, if there are any. Many users read only the lead, so it should be self-contained and cover the main points."

The country in which a place is located is key information, and there does not appear to be any compelling reason to remove that information from either the lead paragraph or infobox of an article. Skeezix1000 17:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

I get the sense that you may have taken offense to something I edited which is close to your heart. If that's the case, feel free to let me know and we can discuss it. I'm certainly not trying to offend. About your argument in general, though... By the same logic, we should add the name of the continent as well. And in fact, that might make sense for articles about subjects in smallish countries that are less generally known (e.g., The Gambia). But we shouldn't impose that upon every article. For most, the country does suffice. But in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., common usage and style is to note the city, sometimes county (especially in the U.K.), then the state or province (in the U.K.: England/Scotland/Wales/N. Ireland). These sub-national units are part of the common lexicon, and many approximate the size of nations. I appreciate your desire for consistency, but it's sometimes hard to impose that across the board. I suppose it depends on context. Sometimes the country is called for, sometimes it's not. I'm trying to imagine seeing "United States of America" or even just "U.S.A." in every related article, and it seems onerous and, in many cases, not essential. The beauty of Wikipedia is that common style can be observed, while allowing any reader in doubt to lookup a fact. Yoho2001 04:02, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

No, you haven't caused any offense.

No, it would be unusual and unnecessary to name the continent.

You seem to be mistaken as to the common usage in Wikipedia.

You needn't travel far beyond Canada's borders for a good many people not to know where Saskatchewan or Ontario is. The same can be said for Australian states, French regions, German states, etc.

In any event, "people can look it up" is not a valid reason to remove correct and relevant information from an article.

Whereas I agree that sometimes the fact the information is true does not mean that it merits inclusion in an article (we've all seen instances where an editor insists on cramming an article full of trivial minutia), the country in which a place is located is fundamental information.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HumptyDumptyLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:HumptyDumptyLogo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Ɛƚƈơƅƅơƚɑ _talk 20:30, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:The West Wind.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:The West Wind.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) 20:23, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
