Welcome to my talk page. Please adhere to the talk page guidelines and particularly the following: Please post your new topic at the bottom of this page. Please sign and date your entry by inserting "~~~~" at the end. Please specify a descriptive "Subject/headline" for a new topic and separate subtopics by ===heading=== lines, if needed. Please indent your posts with one more ":" than what you are replying to, i.e. begin with ":" if replying to an existing topic and "::" if replying to a reply. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your Talk page (or the article Talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or specifically let me know where you'd prefer the reply. ⇒ Start a new Talk topic.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for uploading File:Grenata street gang.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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:41, 9 September 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:41, 9 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Ian Christie (film scholar) has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one 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 Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia: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.

I noticed you added back in succession boxes for some articles including The Wonder of You. While the general opinion in various discussions at WT:CHARTS is leaning against them, a true consensus has not been reached and it would be great if you can add to the discussion to give reasons why you prefer to have them for songs and albums that went to number one on any chart.

Here is a link to summary of issues that I brought up when trying to come up with a compromise for succession boxes back in March: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums/Archive 35#Proposal for use of succession boxes for #1 albums/singles. Below are a number of comments culled from the various discussions on similar and other problems people have with them. You can find links to the entire history of the discussion at WT:CHARTS#Consensus on use of succession boxes?.

• "A labyrinth of every imaginable component chart and airplay chart"
• "A succession box where neither the predecessor nor the successor has an article isn't a useful navigation tool"
• "Succession boxes are not to present information. They are not to document the number of weeks on a chart. ... They are a navigational tool."
• "Succession boxes [relating to music articles] are an indiscriminate collection of information as "Excessive listing of statistics" that is not notable to the subject"
• "They are a "navigation tool" to other number one "Songs" and Albums that really have no connection with the page they are on."
• "The information contained in the boxes is often unsourced (particularly the dates) and relies on other Wiki articles to determine what came before and after the article topic on the charts."
• "People are posting incorrect dates concerning the time frame that a song is at #1 on Billboard's charts"
• "We don't have to include the nav-boxes so people can find this information, since we have all these lists"

In addition to the above, I see them as unnecessary and redundant, especially since I am providing links to lists of #1 charts, which still may be a bit excessive. Thanks. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 23:25, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Colour state has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced since October 2006. I can find no reasonable sources for this, therefore if fails the core policy of verifiability.

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:King-curtis-live-at-fillmore-west.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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 09:16, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Notability on Wikipedia is not a question of counting how many Google hits the topic did or didn't get in any given week, nor is it a matter of splashing sources all over a deleting administrator's talk page after the deletion is over. A page can be deleted at any time if it doesn't already make an actual statement of notability (the article as written didn't; it just asserted his existence) which are already referenced to reliable sources (the article as written didn't have any; blogs and twitter feeds don't count).

Speedy deletion doesn't mean that nobody can write a better article in the future; it just means that that the particular version of the article in question didn't cut it. You're free to try rewriting the article at any time to better explain his notability, using some of the sources you had ready to throw at my talk page — but Wikipedia administrators can't read your mind to know what you intend to add to the article in the future; we can only judge the article as it actually stands at the time we see it. Bearcat (talk) 05:00, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify, I wasn't "offended by your posting to my talk page", as you implied in your response — but administrators do get a bit frustrated sometimes at being told that "Topic X is notable because of this gigantic list of new sources that weren't in the article at the time it was originally deleted". It just happens way too often, that's all. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. But you're right, the new version is a more solid and genuinely keepable article. Bearcat (talk) 15:53, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for your encouraging comment regarding Isaac Perrins. I knocked it out in 24 hours after seeing one sentence in an economic history journal which I was actually using further to develop W & J Galloway & Sons & another article I've been drafting on and off for some weeks.

Now for the kicker ... For some reason I thought using modern comparative values in a form such as "£20,000 (£2.2 m today)" was deprecated on Wikipedia. If it is not then I have a host of areas that could benefit from this. I wonder if the best treatment would be to cite the site your mention in your DYK review next to the comparative figure, which would enable people at least to get a grasp of the implications. If you have time then I'd appreciate your views. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 12:59, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find anything specific which counsels against using inflation adjusted values, MOS:CURRENCY#Currencies doesn't have anything to say on the matter. There are articles which explicitly have these values e.g. List_of_most_expensive_paintings#List_of_highest_prices_paid_at_auctions_or_private_sales_.28inflation_adjusted.29 I wouldn't go overboard with it, adjusting every value and I agree you could use the site I used as a ref. yorkshiresky (talk) 13:38, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, esp for the example proof. I'd just show one adjusted figure and then the reader can, as the Yanks say, "do the math" themselves for the others. - Sitush (talk) 14:01, 29 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, responded to you here.--NortyNort (Holla) 21:39, 19 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This article has come due for administrator closure. While it has certainly come a long way, I note that it still contains derivative elements of the original (some of these are documented at the article's copyright problems board listing, although it's not an exhaustive list). The article needs more work if it is to be retained, but no rewrite has been proposed. Since you have obviously put a lot of effort into it, I wanted to ask you if you planned to address the outstanding issues.

Also, while I'm here, I need to note that I've reviewed your correspondence at User talk:NortyNort, and I understand that you had intended to paste the source article in your userspace as a starting point for you own. I'm afraid that Wikipedia's terms of use do not allow such copying of non-free content in any space. Before you hit "save" on Wikipedia, you really need to be sure that all content you are added complies with terms of use. Additionally, there are challenges in that model of working. In order to avoid creating a close paraphrase, it's best to rewrite from scratch. Writing over existing content runs a substantial risk of retaining too much of the language and structure, both elements which may be copyrighted.

Please let me know here or at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2011 April 18 if you'd like more time to address these concerns. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 18:05, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
