Speedy deletion of Matron Head Modified

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Matron Head Modified requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, 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. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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. Call me Bubba (talk) 04:55, 14 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

large cents

[edit]

Hi, I came across Braided Hair while Stub-sorting, and turned it into a redirect to the article at Large cent (United States coin) because that had much more info. Then found another couple and have suggested merges. Haven't gone through the whole lot, but you might like to consider either adding your extra info to the existing Large cent page, with plenty of redirects from the names of particular designs, or making your articles much more substantial and then adding a link from the Large cent article to each of them, at the point where there's the section on the specific design (template {{main}} is the one to use, I think). What we don't want is the situation where someone searching on a topic only finds part of the info which Wikipedia can offer, because it's split between two articles which don't link to each other. PamD (talk) 11:40, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Miners Union Cemetery, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miners Union Cemetery. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Citations and notes

[edit]

Just a word to the wise. When you add a note to an article as you did on 7 August 2009 to the Millard Fillmore article, please refrain from placing it in the middle of another citation. Each note or citation should stand independently, with its own <ref> and </ref>. Your resultant your looked like this:

1. ^ {{cite web The original was demolished in 1852, but in 1965, the Millard Fillmore Memorial Association, using materials from a similar cabin, constructed a replica, which is located in Fillmore Glen State Park in Moravia. |url=http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761569065/Fillmore_Millard.html |title=Millard Fillmore |booktitle =Encarta}}

When the two footnotes should have looked like this:

1. ^ "Millard Fillmore" Encarata
2. ^ The original log cabin was demolished in 1852, but in 1965, the Millard Fillmore Memorial Association, using materials from a similar cabin, constructed a replica, which is located in Fillmore Glen State Park in Moravia.

It is also appropriate when adding new information to an article to provide a citation to a reliable source. That might have made your note look like this:

2. ^ The original log cabin was demolished in 1852, but in 1965, the Millard Fillmore Memorial Association, using materials from a similar cabin, constructed a replica, which is located in Fillmore Glen State Park in Moravia. "Millard Fillmore Log Cabin" American Presidents Life Portraits

Of course, that source does not completely source the statement that you added and it can be improved by finding a better source. --Bejnar (talk) 13:40, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Ronald Reagan II, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

A tag has been placed on Frank Robert Pierce requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion declined: WOOOOOOOOOO

[edit]

Hello Coingeek, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of WOOOOOOOOOO - a page you tagged - because: Old redirect which is not blatant vandalism, consider WP:RfD. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. decltype (talk) 12:34, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Bishop Gibbons.jpeg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bishop Gibbons.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:45, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]


[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Bishop Gibbons.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

February 2010

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US game show) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.  GSK (talkevidence) 01:34, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Dean's Cove Boat Launch, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

A tag has been placed on Letitia Tyler Semple requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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 article (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. &dorno rocks. (talk) 23:29, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Alice Tyler has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Speedy was denied (with no explanations). This woman is related to some notable people, but no invormation on her individual notability was given.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

A tag has been placed on File:Dickclark2008.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Reference Formatting

[edit]

I noticed you're adding a lot of references to the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US game show), some of them duplicate references to the same source. You should take a few moments to read through Help:Footnotes, specifically the section about Multiple citations of the same reference or footnote. Also, you should familiarize yourself with the Cite web template – it's used to format the citation of a website (that includes an access date, title, publish date, etc.) you're using for reference rather than just having the webpage url appear in the References section of the article. Sottolacqua (talk) 20:32, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please take a moment to read through the guidelines for reference formatting. Using the citeweb template when including new references and naming the actual references are paramount to keeping articles organized and free of unnecessary repetition.

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as File:Wilford.jpeg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because images on Wikipedia need to be compatible with the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike or another free license, which allow anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.

If you did not create this media file, please understand that the vast majority of images found on the internet are not appropriate for Wikipedia. Most content on the internet is copyrighted and the creator of the image has exclusive rights to use it. Wikipedia respects the copyrights of others - do not upload images that violate others' copyrights.

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support WikiProject US Presidents

Greetings, It was recently suggested that WikiProject US Presidents might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. --Kumioko (talk) 13:14, 21 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Redbook.jpeg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Redbook.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sweeny Murti has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. E Wing (talk) 07:39, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Yankees Hot Stove requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:18, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Yankees Hot Stove has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable television show.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:29, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Coneperfect.jpeg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 01:53, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Coolidgebirthplace.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

Hi, if you are the author and photographer for the wen site, can you please add a notice somewhere on http://presidentryan.weebly.com to tell us that the image is cc-by-sa-3.0 like you say here on the upload.

A tag has been placed on File:Curtis homer 1999 World Series.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file.

FAC nomination

[edit]

I noticed you began the process of nominating Kevin Gilbride for consideration as a featured article. I was going to complete the missing step (adding the nomination page you created to WP:FAC) but a quick look at the article shows it isn't quite ready yet. I can see that you put a lot of work into it, and it is greatly improved, but it needs some work to meet the featured article criteria. For the sake of comparison, you might want to read Carolina Panthers, a recently-promoted NFL team FA. Examples of some existing issues:

  • Section headers should use sentence case per WP:MOSHEAD.
  • Year ranges (such as 2007–present) should use endashes per WP:MOSDASH. The same goes for scores and records (2–14 record).
  • The article doesn't seem to cover the first ten years of his career, when he worked in college football.
  • The featured article criteria require citations that state the author, publisher, title, publication date, and access date.

I have commented out the {{FAC}} template on the article talk page, to give you some time to touch it up with the FA criteria in mind. You can complete the nomination at any time, but unprepared nominations are often archived without a full review, so I hope you'll take my advice to heart. Good luck, and thanks for your work!

Non-free rationale for File:OTDlogo.jpeg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:OTDlogo.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
