Fair use rationale for Image:The Far Out Adventures of Team Galaxy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The Far Out Adventures of Team Galaxy.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:XnView Screenshot.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:XnView Screenshot.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) 12:22, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:FA

I'm sure your intent was to be helpful, but please do not remove edits made by delegates of the featured article director from WP:FA; see WP:FAC and WP:FAR instructions, Marskell is Raul's delegate to FAR, and he just defeatured those articles. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:00, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

WP:RL shortcut

Could you please direct me to the discussion regarding the removal of WP:RL as a shortcut for Wikipedia:WikiProject Rugby league? [1] •Florrie•leave a note• 07:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Rekishi - thanks for the reply. I'm all for jumping in but in this sort of situation where the shortcut/re-direct is well-used by an active project, it'd have been more appropriate to bring the suggestion up on the project talk page. There's also WP:RfD but I doubt they'd look at it unless discussion had already been attempted. (see Changing shortcuts) Cheers. •Florrie•leave a note• 03:16, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

About the unprotection of Wikipedia:Recent changes article requests and Template:Recent changes article requests

You posted to my talk page:

These two pages should be semi-protected instead of protected, just like Chinese Wikipedia, since the pages are not in edit war state, and vandals to them are mere IP users. Also, though admins can edit the two pages, they do not add interwiki link to Chinese edition. --RekishiEJ (talk) 06:32, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

These pages must remain protected: vandal edits to these pages can be used to break Special:RecentChanges, which would pretty much break Wikipedia from the viewpoint of edit patrollers. They are thus a very high-impact vandalism risk. -- The Anome (talk) 10:29, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Please see my reply on my talk page. -- The Anome (talk) 11:00, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review

I have posted a question at Wikipedia:Deletion review#Slovio which you may be able to answer. Can you please return to that discussion to answer it? Stifle (talk) 18:51, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Matt Lee(musician)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Matt Lee(musician), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Matt Lee(musician) is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Matt Lee(musician), 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. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 16:10, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Printmaking

Your edit was exactly the wrong way round - in fact most of the other language articles called things like "Grafik" in German are about printmaking, not graphics. Johnbod (talk) 18:57, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

No problem, but translation of similar concepts can indeed be very tricky. Johnbod (talk) 14:08, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Template: Psychology sidebar

Please note that on Wikipedia, consensus is used to determine article content when there is disagreement. The opinion of one or two editors cannot override consensus. Use the talk page rather than unilaterally making decisions about content. In cases where consensus is difficult or impossible, formal dispute resolution is available. Thank you.

Sho Aikawa (screenwriter)

Hi. I deleted the article, because the content was "Sho Aikawa (會川昇 ,Aikawa Shō?, born Noboru Aikawa (会川昇 ,Aikawa Noboru?) in 1965) is a Japanese screenwriter.", and I believe, and it is stated in the notability guideline that articles should indicate the notability of the subject, which I happen to agree to. Also, the article had been around for 6 months at the time of deletion with literally no change of content, other than some minor formatting. As for the CSD requirements; A12 clearly states that "an article about a real person, an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant", which is why I deleted it. Also, it should be noted that nobody has tried to recreate the article in the 1,5 years since the deletion. If you want it recreated I have no problems, but in that case content to indicate notability should also be added. Bjelleklang - talk 21:51, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

pl:Wikipedia:Brakujące artykuły

Hi, thank you for adding missing polish articles into this page, but articles with less than 10 interwiki have small chance to be create soon. I hope there are many - as you described - fundamental articles in a certain field (like Japanese subject matter) with over 10 interwiki.

{{fossportal}} image

Hi,

The discussion at Template talk:FOSS#FOSS Logo established that the logo you re-added to this template isn't appropriate. I've removed it again. Please take any discussion over the logo there. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 23:44, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Comparisson tables

Hi. You made a rather definite statement that "Wikipedians should not delete red links on comparison tables; they should be created in the long run". Do you have a policy that backs this approach up? My understanding is that comparison articles are only meant to compare notable items. Wikipedia is not a not a software directory or a market research organisation and we are not meant to compare all products in a category. Anyway, I reverted the stuff you put back because I think most of it is non-notable and that articles on most of those subjects would be speedily deleted due to lack of notability. In fact, I am pretty sure that some of them already have been. Red links for genuinely notable products which don't have articles yet are a different matter. That said, I would recommend to make stubs for them in order to clearly differentiate them from the non-notable stuff. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:00, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Well, articles about comparisons of software should compare all the software available, as long as the information meets the three core content policies, and they are verifiable. Also these SSH clients should have individual articles as long as celebrities, Softpedia or other websites have reviewed them.--RekishiEJ (talk) 22:44, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Trouble is that being too liberal here opens the door to lots of spam, vanity and original research. This is why we tend to be quite restrictive about what appears on the lists and comparisons. I do agree that software that has received genuine, independent, reliable, non-trivial reviews should have articles and be eligible for inclusion on the lists. For more, please see my reply to your comment on my talk page. --DanielRigal (talk) 23:01, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

moral panic

I think you were correct to add social networking as an example, but I disagree with obesity, which is understated in the US according to Am Pediatric Assoc.

Also, I strongly recommend that you review the Talk page before adding more examples. Some have already been suggested and rejected.

More generally, increasing the number of examples can WEAKEN the value of the concept because more and more people will find things to disagree with.

Please propose new examples on the Talk page before inserting them. Martindo (talk) 11:51, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

You cited TWO researchers out of hundreds (thousands?) and they don't even have tenure. PLEASE discuss additions before you make any more. I notice that you did not respond to my above points about the possibility of credibility being diminished by piling on examples. Martindo (talk) 23:10, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Please do use the talk page and consider this your warning that you are approaching WP:3RR. I have reverted the rest of your additions and hope that you do decide to discuss them on the talk page instead of simply insisting on their inclusion. WP:BRD is not a policy but it is very good advice.PelleSmith (talk) 23:32, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Authors

Hi ... are you planning to write articles on the two authors of MM? Thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 13:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure it's worth the fight (though I can't say I've checked the author criteria). In any event, unless you are going to write them, I would suggest at minimum not redlinking them until we see if the book survives the AfD.--Epeefleche (talk) 13:38, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

BS.Player

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of BS.Player, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://wikibin.org/articles/bs.player.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of BS.Player

A tag has been placed on BS.Player, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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. 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Miami33139 (talk) 01:02, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to delete this, but if it is deleted again, do not recreate. Get it userfied, fix it, and get an administrator to move it into articlespace when you are done. Otherwise, you are re-creating a deleted article. KillerChihuahua^?!?Advice 01:32, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
