Speedy deletion of National Network to End Domestic Violence

A tag has been placed on National Network to End Domestic Violence 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 or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

No personal attacks

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors, as you did on Talk:National Network to End Domestic Violence. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Your comment that another user is "argumentative to the point where I wonder if it wasn’t just an attempt to stir up trouble" speculates about another user's intention thereby, also, failing to assume good faith.
Stick to the topic. Thanks.[1] --69.225.10.208 (talk) 22:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

It was not a personal attack. I said, “The anonymous user’s comments are argumentative...”

Specifically, when “Sbowers” wrote, “It is more to request and encourage editors to go find good sources” and you responded with, “Feel free to find them yourself…” and ended with, “In fact, just delete it” that that was argumentative. Starting your comments with, “I consider myself ‘warned’ then.” did not help either; especially since you are writing anonymously and your comment followed another comment that had been directed at my previous comment. Your more recent comment on that page was more helpful as had been your previous addition to the article.

Since we seem to agree on the usefulness of the article itself and that the tag in question is not appropriate, it’s unfortunate that we are here in disagreement. I too am aggravated by some of the seeming “insider attitude” displayed by some editors, but I think that you might be in need of re-thinking your own level of “assuming good faith”.

Your comments here are in fact a personal attack. --Another-sailor (talk) 09:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Elmhurst-College-logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Elmhurst-College-logo.png. 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) 06:15, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I fixed the link on the Elmhurst College page to this image. It had been removed by an inept edit or intentional vandalism. I also removed the template on the image page.--Another-sailor (talk) 11:27, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:NNEDVlogo08.jpg)

You've uploaded File:NNEDVlogo08.jpg, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Since NNEDVlogo08.png is now available there is no reason to keep this jpg version. I would have deleted it myself but don’t know how, or even if I have access to do so.--Another-sailor (talk) 11:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

A study on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies

Hi. I would like to ask whether you would agree to participate in a short survey on how to cover scientific uncertainties/controversies in articles pertaining to global warming and climate change (survey described here). If interested, please get in touch via my talkpage or email me Encyclopaedia21 (talk) 14:06, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Your recent changes were reverted for being non-neutral. I have to agree with at least some of that, but I did restore one phrase you used. My expectation is that it will be removed again, so I'm going to suggest that it might help to find a reliable source to back up what we are both saying about the people who took down ACORN.
