File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Rinty.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Rinty.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please 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.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. 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 ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:42, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Rinty.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Rinty.jpg 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. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think that your page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of southpaw stance boxers, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cruiserweight (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of Deirdre Jacob

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 Deirdre Jacob 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.), web content or organised event, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Dmol (talk) 21:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dmol. I don't understand why my original Deirdre Jacob Wikipedia page was deleted as later on, a new one was created by someone else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deirdre_Jacob. Regards. Beestalman (talk) 09:25, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of SolydXK

Hello, RadicalRedRaccoon. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, SolydXK, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Ad Orientem (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi AO. I'm happy that the SolydXK page has remained. Beestalman (talk) 09:23, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Double spaces after periods

Hello there! Regarding your edit on the Replicant (operating system) article, I'd like to point out that double spaces after periods are fine; that's just one of the writing styles and a matter of typographical convention. Please see Sentence spacing and History of sentence spacing articles for more details. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 01:56, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Dsimic. Double spaces look sloppy and serve no purpose. — RadicalRedRaccoon (talk | contribs) 11:00, 2 February 2014 (GMT)

It's all a matter of personal preference; to me, single spaces look sloppy. :) — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 21:39, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

They both look the same on the rendered page; the only place one can see if it's a single or a double space is in the edit window. On that note, RRR, please stop making edits which consist solely of cosmetic changes invisible to readers. Such practice serves no useful purpose and is generally frowned upon. Invisible cosmetic changes to the page source should only be introduced together with an edit of some substance and even then they are only welcome when made to maintain consistent style within the article (not across the articles). You'll run into this sooner or later, so I'm letting you know sooner :) Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 20, 2015; 12:17 (UTC)

Hi Ezhiki. I realise that removing excess spaces or tidying code in other ways does not show on the regular page that people see. I am only trying to help. I would not say that the edits in question have no purpose - making the code less messy is a good thing. But I agree with you that they'd be better supplemented with more substantial edits. I will heed your advice. Bye. (talk | contribs) 10:47, 21 April 2015 (GMT + 1:00)

It's also worth remembering that different people have different views about what's tidy and what's not. You are adding one space before and after "=", other people like to insert as many spaces as needed to make the values align, and others yet (like yours truly) prefer no spaces at all. It's not unlike formatting someone else's programming code—people might not appreciate your efforts to do the formatting to your liking, especially if that's the only thing you do on a page :) The rule of thumb is generally to leave this kind of formatting alone and only make changes when it creates difficulties in editing or is internally inconsistent. (By the way, extra spaces, especially in multiples, make it more difficult to edit on mobile platforms, since less text fits on the already small screen). Cheers,—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); April 21, 2015; 11:57 (UTC)

Poorly sourced birth dates

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted a change you made to John Ventimiglia. In this edit, you added a birth date, but you didn't cite a reliable source. Wikipedia has strict rules on content in biographies of living persons because this can impact real peoples' lives. Please be aware the many sites on the internet purport to give information about celebrities, but few of them of reliable. Sites like the IMDb use user-generated content, and they should not be cited in biographical articles. Similarly, celebrity gossip websites should not be used because most of them don't have a history of fact checking or publishing corrections. Fan sites and blogs are self-published and have no editorial control. We also can't use primary documents, such as government birth databases, or genealogical websites (which are also typically user-generated, as above). This means that the number of available sources is quite slim, and we often have to either go without this information or wait until a source like Entertainment Weekly or the BBC publishes an interview that includes a birth date. If you're not sure whether a source is reliable, you can ask at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Noticeboard. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 07:28, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, NinjaRobotPirate, for the info. I understand. \o Beestalman (talk) 11:03, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi NRP. Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate it. Kind regards. Beestalman (talk) 09:21, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Ordering of categories: MOS:CATORDER

Hi. I reverted your alphabetic ordering of categories at Troy Parrott because it violated WP:FOOTY convention. See this recent discussion at WP:FOOTY: [1] The convention is based on MOS:CATORDER which states: "Normally the most essential, significant categories appear first." That quote would suggest alphabetical ordering is not desirable elsewhere, either. Kind regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 10:52, 27 July 2022 (UTC)

I understand. Thank you, Robby. Beestalman (talk) 09:20, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

nbsp

Please stop removing non-breaking spaces before en dashes. While nbsp is not strictly required, if it's already there then it's not an improvement to remove it. See MOS:DASH: "Ideally, use a non-breaking space before the en dash, which prevents the en dash from occurring at the beginning of a line". GA-RT-22 (talk) 16:48, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

Hi. There's an unsightly gap otherwise. For example between "1897 – 18" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corry_Tendeloo. The spaces are unequal. Beestalman (talk) 13:33, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

That's a bug in your browser. Making the text look better on your buggy browser while making it look worse for the other millions of readers is not an improvement. Also when you want to make an exception to a Wikipedia guideline it's best to get consensus first on the talk page. GA-RT-22 (talk) 14:38, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

I didn't realise it was a web browser issue. I checked https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corry_Tendeloo on other web browsers and it looks ok. Beestalman (talk) 15:11, 1 October 2022 (UTC)

The pages where I removed the "nbsp;" part, still look fine in other web browsers. My web browser isn't buggy - I previously changed the fonts and have since changed back to the default fonts. The "gap" is gone. Beestalman (talk) 11:18, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Deaths in 2022

Please keep your weak editing jokes to yourself. Not only is it Sue Baker who died and not Sue Barker (and well you know it), but you also removed a lot of other content during your single disastrous edit today. Ref ^(chew)(do) 14:50, 16 November 2022 (UTC)

Hello Refsworldlee. It was an honest mistake in mixing up Sue Baker and Sue Barker. The names are so similar, also the ages are close. I don't know how a large amount of content was also removed. I must have accidentally highlighted some extra text and hit a key. I assure you that no ill intent was meant. I also thanked the person (Renewal6) who undid the error, soon after I realised it. I don't think that "keep your weak editing jokes to yourself" gibe was needed. Regards. Beestalman (talk) 15:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
