Image overflow and the Commons

Hi, I saw your note on my Talk page and thought I'd ask a procedural question. I'm working on hte Fire engine page, which is a bit picture heavy - on the talk page, someone made the proposal of moving some of the images over to the Commons, and I would like to do this (no one has posted any objectons to doing so) but I'm not really clear on how. My original thought had been to download the images to my computer, then upload them to the commons, but the copyright on the images is unclear, so I don't know how to mark them over there (and without copyright info, I expect that they'll be deleted.) Any thoughts? Thanks --Badger151 09:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

From Bduke

Hi, I saw your message on my talk page. I did do a little on the coupled cluster page. I have little knowledge of vibronic coupling. I'm off for a few days Oz summer holidays very soon. I doubt I will have time to do anything more on the coupled cluster page. Bduke 02:59, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Categorization

It was a reference to Battle of Mons Badonicus; I've removed it from the category page, since that article is obviously included already. —Kirill Lokshin 10:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

My Request for Adminship

Greetings, HappyCamper! I wanted to sincerely thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with a final result of 55/14/3. Your support means a lot to me! And of course, a special "thank you" is in order, since you were the one who nominated me in the first place. You da man. ;) If you have any questions or input regarding my activities, be they adminly or just a "normal" user's, or if you just want to chat about anything at all, feel free to drop me a line. Cheers! —Nightstallion (?) 07:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

...for the WikiThanks and the kind words, I've gotten rid of the message bar - it's gotten old. I'll wait 'til everybody forgets about it, then I'll add it back. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 20:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Rfa thanks

Hello HappyCamper. Thank you for supporting my Rfa and making me happy too! :) I will try my best to be a good administrator. Please ask me if I can be of any help. --a.n.o.n.y.m t 17:43, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Hi!

Thanks! Maybe the userboxes could benefit from round borders as well. ;-) Hope to see you around! Sango123 (talk) 20:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

US 98 Alternate

[1] shows two routes presently named US 98 Alternate and a few more former routes. Thus there should be a disambiguation if anything. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:27, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

AfD

^{Copied from my talk page}

No need for the AfD for Bgtoys, INC -- the user has recreated this at least 4 times in the past hour... --HappyCamper 05:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I didn't realize admins had the right to speedy delete advertising pages. Would you mind at all pointing that part of deletion policy out to me for future reference? Thanks a lot. JHMM13 (T | C) 05:21, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm...interesting question! Now that I go searching through the Wikipedia namespace, I cannot find what I am looking for. It is likely that it is not written explicitly anywhere. There is a little bit of text in Wikipedia:Spam which says that advertisements are considered a form of vanity for which the inclination to delete will be strong, but it suggests that an AfD is more appropriate.

Since I cannot find what I am looking for, this is the guideline I generally use - since there isn't a clear rule for advertisements, I check to see if it is a cut-and-paste of an external website. About 95% of the time this is the case. If it is, then I speedy it on the basis of a copyrighted text dump - but I also label this as an advertisement in my deletion summary. Some advertisements are boarderline articles and so requires a judgement call - many times, things are not quite as clear cut as other speedies, like pure attack pages. I hope this helps, and if you have more questions, please feel free to come by my talk page! --HappyCamper 05:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a sound policy, but I hope you don't mind I will continue falling back on AfD for advertisements instead of speedies because although something like Bgtoys, INC might have an article that's pure advertisement, it might be a notable company, and creating an AfD for it draws some attention to the problem of fixing it instead of deleting it and waiting and waiting for someone else to come along and do it right after a speedy. I'll talk to you later and I hope I do have the opportunity to ask you more questions in the future! JHMM13 (T | C) 05:45, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll be sure to check all of that out when Wake Forest releases its clutches from my neck for a moment :-). JHMM13 (T | C) 05:57, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
