Please explain why you think there is overuse of non-free media on the corresponding talk page. I just tried to review the situation at [[European Union]] and am not really sure whether I agree with you. While I personally subscribe to [[WP:VEGAN]], I think you should rather raise the issue on the talk page than disfigure a widely read article with an ugly template.

== Ethnic groups discussion == |
|||
Hi. I've started a discussion [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ethnic_groups#Notable_individuals_sections|here]] inspired by a comment you made in a [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/British_Cypriots/archive1|featured article discussion]]. I would appreciate your thoughts if you have any. [[User:Cordless Larry|Cordless Larry]] ([[User talk:Cordless Larry|talk]]) 22:34, 19 July 2009 (UTC) |

== [[North Road (stadium)]] FAC == |
|||
Hi there. Thanks for the comments you made at [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/North Road (stadium)/archive1]]. I wonder, if you have some spare time, could you possibly give the entire article a review and then leave further comments at the FAC discussion. Thanks very much. – [[User:PeeJay2K3|Pee]][[User talk:PeeJay2K3|Jay]] 22:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC) |

== Inauguration of Barack Obama FAC3 == |
|||
You were opposed to [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Inauguration of Barack Obama/archive2|FAC2]] of [[Inauguration of Barack Obama]]. [[Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Inauguration of Barack Obama/archive3|FAC3]] is getting long in the tooth and could use some decisive feedback. We hope we may have your support at this time.--[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|c]]/[[User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon|bio]]/[[WP:CHICAGO]]/[[WP:LOTM]]) </small> 21:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC) |

Edits like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=La_Mirada,_California&curid=107644&diff=305507916&oldid=305222143 this], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Antioch,_California&curid=107386&diff=305509653&oldid=305137342 this], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rocklin,_California&curid=107852&diff=305509751&oldid=304520019 this], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rancho_Cordova,_California&curid=107972&diff=305510259&oldid=305420261 this] are unreasonable. It is not helpful in any form. I would suggest instead of slapping tags on all city article, you work by bringing the topic up at [[WT:CITIES]] or work on the articles individually.

:please expand, I don't see the problem of putting maintenance tags on articles that need maintenance [[User:Fasach Nua|Fasach Nua]] ([[User talk:Fasach Nua#top|talk]]) 20:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC) |

::Some users, myself included, don't like it when people's edits are solely to place tags on articles. The complete first page of [[Special:Contributions/Fasach_Nua|your contributions]] show that you've only been putting clean up tags on articles. No article is perfect, and [[WP:OVERTAGGING|overtagging]] is somewhat [[WP:POINTY|disruptive]]. That overtagging link talks about putting multiple tags on one page, but should probably be expanded to discuss placing one tag over many, many pages. Please note that I started a thread [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cities#Notable_residents.2C_revisited here] about these edits. 20:44, 1 August 2009 (UTC) |

Between them, those sections have 4 references. Clearly you and I have different ideas of acceptable referencing. And those were the first edits I looked at, at random. Admittedly, [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Atlantic_City,_New_Jersey&diff=prev&oldid=305509952 this one] appears to be a mistake but the vast majority do not.

:::::::It's not always easy to tell as in my experience, sources don't explain what is meant by being "from" a place. If a reliable source says someone is from somewhere, that should be enough and doesn't count as original research. unfortunately, that means you can't always say what the criteria for inclusion are. However, I don't like it that much as it is a woolly subject. What counts as being "from" somewhere? Is it where you're born, where you grew up, after spending many years there? The problem is that identity and links to a place are inherently difficult to define. [[User:Nev1|Nev1]] ([[User talk:Nev1|talk]]) 21:18, 1 August 2009 (UTC) |

::::::::I think this is why [[WP:V]] is there, either these are the notable residents and you can prove it or they aren't, and if it is an undefinable quantity then it probably fails [[WP:V]] [[User:Fasach Nua|Fasach Nua]] ([[User talk:Fasach Nua#top|talk]]) |
