And from me too. I was a bit busy today and only popped in to update the template. I just cut down the image on T:DYK/N down to 100x100 ready to go and you simultaneously updated :) . Good to see you back again.... Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:31, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, traditionally I have always put the current stuff into the archive at the top. It seems as though it is common these days. Nowadays, anyone can fill out the next update, so that non-admins can participate. Anyone can move them back to the nomination page as well if they disagree. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:35, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I estimate perhaps 20-30% of the preparation into the loading zone is now done by non-admins. It would encourage less inclined or busy admins to participate because the work now comes in smaller bits. Sometimes a few busy admins will step in if it is already prepared for them. There is no rule for using it, up I use DYK/N as a sandbox anyway. If I am going to update directly I don't move the credits, I just paste into N and use the previewer, then cut again to the main page. If I do N with the intention of doing the real thing, I don't move the credits, just the hooks and then do the credits straight from DYKT. I do find that the N option encourages admins who are otherwise disinclined to update, because sometimes when I update in the Australian afternoon, I will reload N, and I tend to notice that the next update afterwards is usually moved into place at most 8 hours later if it is already filled. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 06:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The re-addition to the main suggestions page is the drawback, especially if there were special circumstances, or if there was a wad of old discussion that was removed when it is moved to N. Once there was a large article which went from 25k to 35k and it was on the N, so I deleted it. But there was a special circumstance that the 25k version was a copyvio so it was actually a 0k ->35k and it caused a bit of a mixup - this was explained in the original nom but was removed when it was processed into N.

Hi ! I noticed that you moved Horsfieldia anita to Horsfieldia (butterfly). I am assuming you did this because it is a monotypic genus, but I am unable to ascertain the same. There is a Horsfieldia genus among plants as well. Shyamal 10:57, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On my talk page, you posted warning that several of the pictures which I uploaded recently to the Maine Diner and Hope Cemetery articles may not be able to be used legally on Wikipedia. However, I retrieved all of these photos from Flickr, and I was very careful about choosing ones that said "This photo is public." Therefore, I am working under the assumption that by public, I am able to use those images to help illustrate to people what an article is about, and give them a valuable image to walk away with. I really don't see why I would not be able to use these pictures in the articles. If you could bring me into the light, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ben 12:13, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Howdy! Back in May 2006 you participated in an AfD discussion on the Anna Svidersky article. There is currently a Request for comment on the talk page of the Svidersky article aimed at resolving a disagreement over the state of the article and the use of the Anna Svidersky title as a redirect to the Mourning Sickness article that was created during the 2nd Svidersky AfD. I hope you don't mind the interruption. Any additional or outside input would be greatly appreciated by all the editors on the Svidersky page. Thank you for your time. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 14:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

You undid some changes to Polymer banknote which I am unsure was vandalism, or if it was, it was also an apt edit. I reviewed the PDF, and whilst it gives information on the banknote itself, it does not actually give the two year value quoted in the article. As such I have reverted your revert ;) User A1 02:14, 27 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the notice that my nomination got on the front page. I'll be working hard to improve all the related articles like Stendal Nuclear Power Plant (which could have been the nomination itself!). -Theanphibian ^{(talk • contribs)} 08:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dear PDH,

This topic has been brought up by Karabakh leaders and many others.

If you can rename it to massacre I will appreciate it. -Hu1lee —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hu1lee (talk • contribs) 23:37, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Hi PDH, hope I wasn't too bold about Talk:Generations (book). Let me know if you'd like to discuss this further, I'm very open to discussion. I do think that clean-up around the pop-history of [[Strauss and Howe] is really important, and I'd be happy to participate in discussions cleaning it up, and getting Strauss and Howe out of articles like The Lost Generation, an important literary movement. Cheers! --JayHenry 04:34, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I decided that I don't really want to get involved in that particular mess. But I totally agree that most of those article should be rolled into the article about the book - there are both notability (undue weight) and IP issues with reproducing their whole "theory" at length in wikipedia. --Peta 04:37, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good god, your user page just scared the crap out of me. (When I left my first comment I came directly to the talk page.) I see you've recently returned from a Wikibreak, so I don't blame you for wanting to avoid this mess two weeks after returning. However, I think there are a lot of editors who have been wanting to clean up the Strauss and Howe articles for quite some time. We might be able to get some momentum going if we ask the right people. --JayHenry 04:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hooray~! Thanks for taking the lead with the Generations project. This Strauss and Howe mess is really overdue for a merge. I think a lot of us have really made that case, and the Strauss and Howe defenders just haven't materialized. I think you might do better off dumping the cuts onto Generations (book) for the time being, other wise the Strauss and Howe people might get upset. But thanks again for taking the initiative~! --Dylanfly 13:24, 29 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

glad to join. I agree with Dylanfly that the best way is to merge the idiosyncratic uses to their book, which probably does count as notable enough fringe social science for a single article, remove their peculiar lists from the articles on the real "generations" as used by people in general, and edit the paragraph about their views in those real articles to a more appropriate wording. eg "The term is used in a somewhat different sense by Strauss and Howe. The really difficult work, of removing the misleading navigation template, seems to have been accomplished already. DGG (talk) 03:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

incidentally, the trick to avoid having every reference on a talk page backlink from the article forever is to use a colon before it, like I've done above, after the format [[:whatever]] . The useful link from here will still work. 03:50, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

it is incorrect to do the merges without having it open for discussion as provided by WP:MERGE and listed at the Wikipedia:Proposed Mergers page. Don';t rush things--they have lasted long enough, and if it is done out of process it will be harder to support when challenged. I strongly suggest you place all the necessary tags, listed the articles, and meanwhile revert the changes you have made to the articles until they have been discussed. I dont want to see this good initiative go wrong. DGG (talk) 05:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Dwarf boas, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Dwarf boas has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Dwarf boas, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Thanks for uploading Image:Davidmack zzz poster.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 19:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:ACTbushfireinquiry.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. BetacommandBot 15:19, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Tuffy.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 14:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 14:09, 18 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Wonder_Years.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. Rettetast 14:42, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Nerica4.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:John_von_Neumann.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading Image:Zambia K1000.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:42, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I noticed that you speedy deleted Cephalectomy. If I recall when I visited it last week, it was about a heavy metal band that wasn't particularly well known.

This is convenient to me, because I am more interested in the obscure medical term.

I know it is a bit obscure, but it means "removing the head", as an alternative word to decapitation. It is really very interesting, so I thought belonged in the wiki. After all, this is about teaching people new things, isn't it?

Anyway let me know if its okay to go ahead and create the article. Dyinghappy (talk) 21:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Since you didn't reply (and I notice you haven't used this account in over a year) I have gone ahead and recreated the article. I guess I will see if people let it stay. It is a real word, and I think would educate people, which is the whole point to Wikipedia, isn't it? Dyinghappy (talk) 13:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has nominated Jason Webley, 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/Jason Webley 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) 23:00, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:AUD2.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) 04:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Alfred Edments, 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 Alfred Edments.

I have tagged Image:CleanUpAustralia.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading Image:Australian$50paper.JPG. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Thanks for uploading Image:Michael Somare.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BlueAzure (talk) 22:21, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you give me support to keep this page Honorific titles In popular music. Heres the talk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2008_July_10#Honorific_titles_in_popular_music

A tag has been placed on James King (pioneer) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement [of http://gutenberg.net.au/dictbiog/0-dict-biogI-K.html#king1]. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

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.

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.
