Blanking

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Cupido. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. BorgQueen 20:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Venus

Hello, you recently edited Venus with the comment Venus is the only planet in the Solar System named after a female figure" is incorrect, the Earth is also a female-named planet. This, I don't think, is the case. If you are thinking of Mother Earth or Gaia, these were named after the Earth, not the other way round. — BillC ^talk 02:29, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:BrannigansHead.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:BrannigansHead.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 23:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Solar system image

No, the sizes are not to scale, and the distances almost certainly aren't. I did my best to make all the smaller planets and the dwarf planets to scale, but the gas giants are so huge that it wasn't feasible. There are some scale diagrams of sizes here For the scale distances, this is a good guide. However, at that distance you wouldn't actually be able to see the planets. The first five planets would be significantly inside Jupiter's orbit.

Space is big.

Rachel Ray - + templates

Just some advise, don't go editing templates unless you really know what you are doing. Making changes to templates changes hundreds if not thousands of article. Second check the documentation page of the template, it usually contains all the information you need. See Template:Infobox Chef/doc. I fixed the parameter for displaying the image of Rachel Ray. Nice try though. --_pete 20:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

GA sweeps: 4 Vesta

Hello, as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force, I have conducted a Good Article reassessment of 4 Vesta, to which you have been a major contributor. I have a few concerns that should be addressed if the article is to remain listed as a GA. If you are able to help out, the reassessment can be found here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to Scorpio (astrology), is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Wikipedia:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. --Nathanael Bar-Aur L. (talk) 06:59, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Will do, I felt obligated to add some negative traits to the signs. To me people trying to glorify their signs and removing negative aspects deprives the article of credibility to me and hurts astrology itself. I'll cite the traits later when I'm less busy and I'm going back for the others later. --IdLoveOne (talk) 19:17, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

4 Vesta

Just a quick reminder that this article is undergoing a GA reassessment as part of the GA sweeps. It has been on hold for over two weeks, but several concerns remain. If they are not addressed soon, I will have to delist the article. Because it is part of the Main asteroid belt Featured Topic, this would also mean that the Featured Topic would be delisted. There's not much left to do, so any help you can provide would be great. The reassessment page is here. Thanks, GaryColemanFan (talk) 22:48, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I helped out a bit and made my assessment. If any other issues are pointed out I'll come running! --IdLoveOne (talk) 03:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

In response to your question, I already performed GA reassessments of Pallas and Juno, and both passed their reassessments. The fourth asteroid is not included in the first round of GA sweeps, as the current project is only reviewing articles listed before September 2007. Thanks for your help.

Hello

Hi IdLoveOne!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm only trying to explain and to add what some astrologers think. I'm not telling that Ceres is the ruler of Virgo, I'm indicating all time that is only suggested. Ceres has been always more important in astrology than the rest of the asteroids because of his/her mass, and Pluto, as well as the "new" planets, were mistreat from the begining. I also agree in the connection between Ceres and Taurus, but every real astrologer I've asked, opted for Ceres as the ruler of Virgo, and if we go back to mythology and see the relationship between Ceres and Pluto you realise the mythologycal connection, and if you study or consider The Titus-Bode law and the relevants discovers of Ceres in the last years, you can understand why so many astrologers consider Ceres as a relevant planet (more than the rest of the bodies inside of the asteroids belt. Sorry if I erased something, if I did it, It was by mistake. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Manisero399 (talk • contribs) 18:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Re:Planet

There's a reason we have two different planet-themed articles. Planet is meant to describe what a planet is; Definition of planet deals with the controversy and the fuzziness. Regardless, there's no point in turning either article into a solipsistic debate about whether something is or is merely considered to be a planet. You could just as easily say that Queen Mary II is considered to have been a Queen of England or that electricity is considered to be one of the four fundamental forces. At some level, everything is debatable. But this is an encyclopedia; we have to call "fact" at some point. Serendi^podous 23:57, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

That's your opinion. Many astronomers think the new definition is just dandy. Wikipedia's goal is to report, not to take sides. Serendi^podous 09:04, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Stating that Neptune "has been classified" as a planet is irrellevant. It IS a planet. And whatever your feelings about the IAU's definition, that's how it's going to stay until the definition changes. If it does, so will Wikipedia's definition. Serendi^podous 21:30, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Tim Russert

Thanks for your note. I didn't think you were trying to vandalize the page, I just thought that it was a mistake. Just saw Olbermann do a tribute to him, made me tear up. It was a great loss to all of us that love the news, and honestly, it still feels like it was a recent death. Edhubbard (talk) 03:09, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, actually, I think that it was a rebroadcast of the tribute that he aired last year right after Russert passed away, with some additional quotes. Olberman is a real student of broadcasting, taking his "Good night and good luck" from Edward R. Murrow, and really loved Tim, both as a co-worker at NBC/MSNBC, and as an example of what a journalist should be. After the "toss" to Rachel Maddow, you can see that she was choked up, too, and had a hard time getting started after the rebroadcast of Olbermann's tribute. Cheers, Edhubbard (talk) 04:07, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Phylidonyris pyrrhopterus crops

Can I ask why you chose to release these under cc-by-sa-2.5? I checked the details of cc-by-sa-3.0, and I don't think that's actually legit. The easiest thing to do would be to release it under cc-by-sa-3.0, the same as the original. J Milburn (talk) 10:20, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

• Because of the license Noodle snacks used for the original which, first of all isn't public domain and arguably means the image is not up for featured status in the first place according to the guidelines. Before I submitted the images I clicked the options that roughly said "free to use for educational purposes or on Wikipedia," that was what I got. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 17:49, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

• Right, there are several levels of wrong here. If you'll hear me out for a few minutes, I've a fairly strong knowledge of licensing on Wikipedia. Firstly, images do not have to PD to be "free"- on Wikipedia, any image that can be used freely for any purpose (including commercially, and including modification) counts as "free"- so, on top of public domain, we accept content that is licensed under some Creative Commons licenses (as Noodle snacks's image is), GFDL, FAL and so on. All of them vary very slightly, but, basically, at their heart, they all allow the content to be freely used. All a potential FPC candidate needs to be is "free"- not necessarily public domain. Your "free to use for educational purposes or on Wikipedia" license will get images deleted, as that licensing does not allow content to be reused elsewhere, apart from in overly restrictive circumstances. Now, as to my original point, NS's image was licensed under CC-BY-SA-3.0. The SA part of the license- ShareAlike- means that any modifications (such as your crops) must also be placed under that license, or a compatible one. I checked the "small print", as it were, and I wasn't sure whether it was legit to release it under CC-BY-SA-2.5- to be honest, I was rather puzzled as to why you'd chosen that. So, basically, I was asking for a specific reason why you'd chosen that one over CC-BY-SA-3.0, and, if there wasn't a specific reason, recommending you change it to CC-BY-SA-3.0. If you have any questions about issues like this, I'd be happy to help you out. J Milburn (talk) 18:22, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

• I rarely upload anything so I'm not as familiar with the licensing, I'll try to learn the legalese of it better next time. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 18:27, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

• Then could you possibly switch the licensing to CC-BY-SA-3.0? J Milburn (talk) 18:33, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

• Done. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 18:37, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading File:Fuzzy squid crop.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:22, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

Also, for what it's worth, I'd really avoid closing nominations that you have commented on (and especially ones that you have supported/opposed). There's a lot of fuss about the precise guidelines at the moment. J Milburn (talk) 17:35, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, I.. think I fixed that, didn't know how much work went into closing an image =$ so I might've gotten mixed up doing TWO, I see why people just leave them there for someone else to do now! Well, I try not to look biased, but the consensus in both cases was clearly in favor of both of them, I just happened to have been in favor of them. ;) I'll avoid that in the future if it appears to cause a conflict of interest.

Anyway, I think you or another admin will have to add the stars because nothing in the closing procedure gives the proper information for how to do that. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 17:39, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Point five? J Milburn (talk) 18:01, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

That first tag seems to be only for Commons images, by that I mean it states that the image is featured on Commons, not Wikipedia, or at least it makes that assumption on images that are in Commons. I found the second one and added that to specify for the English Wikipedia. I can't find the template for the little upper right-hand corner star. No matter how I try to edit it I keep getting redirected back to commons anytime I try to put the {{FeaturePicture}} tag. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 18:05, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I added them, it did seem kind've wonky when I did it though. Not sure what the problem was. Also, did you update the FP count when you promoted them? I'm not seeing it. (Per point 3 of closing procedure). Thanks for helping out by the way. And yea, it's generally left to non-participants to close discussions. Jujutacular ^T · C 20:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

No, I mean at the top of the page WP:FP there is a count of the total number of FPs we have. Every time an image is promoted this should be incremented. I just fixed it. Jujutacular ^T · C 03:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't notice that, and it wasn't in the steps. I would think WP counts those things automatically. --I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ (talk) 04:02, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Valued Pictures

I have some questions about the valued pictures. What if a picture was featured in another language wikipedia but not english wikipedia does it count? Beacuse I know featured pictures cant be valued pictures. Also Why doesnt Valued Picture get an add on the sidebar news thing on the Wikipedia Signpost? Spongie555 (talk) 22:36, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't see a problem with nominating a picture that's featured on a different language Wiki, the rules pretty much just apply from language to language, project to project. Of course, if that picture gets promoted to VP, then nominated at FPC and a promoted to featured it won't be a valued picture anymore. A bunch of users have said they don't like that rule, I decided not to close this until a decision is made on FPC. It's definitely a problem that Valued Pictures doesn't get enough prestige, there's a HUGE discussion about rectifying that on the valued pic talk page, you're welcome to add your own input. --I'ḏ♥One 23:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

I dont really mind the rule of it being featured that it cant be a valued picture. Also I think we have to much picture that are older then 7 days. I think we need to close alot of nominations. Spongie555 (talk) 03:37, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

FPC closures

Hey Id♥one, thanks for working on closing some nominations. I just wanted to mention a few things from your last three closures that you are missing, though, :) You can check my contributions for all of the changes I've made to your edits, but I'll explain here.

• On the Template:Announcements/New featured content page, there should only be 15 FPs listed at one time. When you add a new one to the top, remove the last one from the bottom.
• There is a "count" of all current FPs on the Wikipedia:Featured pictures page. Whenever you add an image, increase the count. You've missed it the last three times (it is clearly mentioned in the instructions! ;-))
  • -I almost always miss that step, felt like I forgot something, getting better though! --I'ḏ♥One 01:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
    • Cool, :) Maedin\^talk 01:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
• Try to give credit based on how the author has credited himself on the image page; for example, I changed the credit for the monarch butterfly photo to match the image description page: [1]
  • Oh, I was just trying to get through the process quickly, didn't check if the photographer's name was available. --I'ḏ♥One 01:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
• Don't forget to credit users that have made significant edits. Restorations or significant image changes need to be credited on the WP:FP page (as I added PLW here and you also need to add {{subst:UploadedFP|File:file_name.xxx}} to his talk page for that (I've left that bit up to you). Minor edits don't need to be credited at the FP page, but I generally try to leave a template or a personal message on their talk page anyway, to recognise that their work contributed to the image passing, even if it was probably only a 2 minute job.
  • -Actually I was just about to raise that issue on the FPC talkpage, there really should be a template for those that contribute to a piece of media that gets promoted. --I'ḏ♥One 01:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
    • Yep, good point. Maedin\^talk 01:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
• Remember that like headings, capital letters are A Bad Thing. Keep capital letters out of your captions; even animals are not generally capitalised as they are not proper nouns (unless it's like . . . Przewalski's horse, :p).
  • -Hmm, ok, fixed the butterfly and baboon. --I'ḏ♥One 01:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Guess that's it, keep up the good work! Maedin\^talk 01:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

• • Thanks for the good faith and suggestions! --I'ḏ♥One 01:35, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
    • You're welcome! Maedin\^talk 01:45, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/OdontodactylusScyllarus.jpg

I'm replying here as it's nothing to do with the nom, but it's rather alarming that you don't get this, and it has caused problems, so I think it would be nice if you start to get it now. Please read what I'm saying, don't just discard it because I'm proof of why you don't want to be an administrator.

You say that the images are showing the same thing- they're simply not. One is a portrait of a mantis shrimp, one is a full-body shot. Myself and Maedin discussed this a little. By comparison, File:Emoe.jpg and File:Emu portrait.jpg are equally very different things. They show different things, they are useful for different purposes. The portrait is not used in the taxobox, nor would it be. It is the job of FPC to assess the value and quality of an image, and then promote it. We have different nominations for different images. In the case of the mantis shrimp, this is particularly pertinent- the images are used in different articles, and used to illustrate different things. We could have one as a featured picture, we could have both, we could have neither. A very different thing from several edits of the same image where we try to work out which is most accurate or useful.

It is not FPC's remit to decide on different images to be used in an article. Take your mantis shrimp nomination- the portrait of the shrimp is no longer used in the article. It would not be right for the closer to come storming into the article and say "Actually, the gods of the FPC world have decided that this image is now featured, and so you were wrong to remove it". Equally, it would be nonsensical for us to promote the full-body shot and then replace the other image of the mantis, as that image has been used because it is a portrait- it illustrates a section on the eyes of the animal. This is what I mean- two different images, two different purposes. It should be two separate FPC noms, as the EV/quality of each has to be judged independently.

A lot of the rest of what you said is patronising, wrong or even bordering on the nonsensical. The last point I would like to make is about me "just say[ing] weak things like "Nope, don't like where the image is placed."". I have never said such a thing. If an image is used in a place where it adds no value, then I oppose based on EV grounds. I have never oppose based on "where an image is placed", as that is almost always going to be ridiculous. As an example, let's take our portrait of the emu. I would oppose that if it was used only in a list article about animals in a certain country, or if it was used to decorate a section discussing the migration of emus with a caption of something like "Emu in [location]". This is because, in each of those locations, it has no EV.

Honestly, I want to discuss this with you; like I say, it has caused problems, will cause more problems and is horrendously bad practice. If you disagree with or do not understand any of what I said, please explain. J Milburn (talk) 20:12, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

J Milburn, the purpose of a FPC is for the community to pick an image that visually illustrates the article, sometimes topic within the article it represents, and to pick the best one, one with quality that exceeds the norm. It's totally and completely fair to say "No, I don't think this image does the job," that's the whole purpose of being able to vote oppose or for their even being a voting procedure in place. Raeky even did it on the recent ISS nomination when she said the current featured image of that isn't cutting the job; The main difference was her approach - she posted a link instead of, apparently, scaring everyone with a different or even slightly different image. Why promote an unfit image then go through a whole, long process of D&R when we could just promote a better image representative of that subject right then and there? Your emu example is a good one, but that's not what I'm talking about. Obviously the head of a huge animal is not the best option when we have access to imagery of the whole body of one or more. Take the first Meteor Crater nomination versus the second one, it reveals that people had different views on which type of photograph/imagery illustrates the subject better, some said the satellite view is better, some said a pano was better, but we'd probably never know if I didn't offer a bunch of different images that, to my eye, met up with FPC's criteria. YES, they are very different, but my concern is for the subject, not just part of it. I nominated the shrimp image thinking it was eye-catching, met the criteria yadda-yadda-yadda. If someone wanted to oppose or weak oppose/support and say "No, sorry, don't think it shows enough of the animal," that's fair, or if you or someone else wants to nominate it just as a portrait that's fine too.

Nextly, no, you have opposed images mainly on placement, which I think is a very weak reason to oppose an image, there's a big difference between an image having been misplaced within its article or poorly captioned and suggesting that that should mean it's totally valueless to the article or has no EV merit to qualify it for a support vote - those are not the same thing and I think it's tragic when a valuable image falls through the cracks because a voter doesn't see that difference. Returning to the example I just cited above, there's nothing in current FPC policy for example saying that an image must be the lead image of an article, I even recently nominated a pretty high-quality, though apparent not the most popular style, lead image and it got shut out, I don't even know what the hell Greg L is going on about when I asked him about it here and it doesn't matter anyway, but it does illustrate why I've never applied for adminship: I know I'm human.

I love Wikipedia, I respect its policies, I think most of them are generally fair, but I know that eventually I might want to stray from the policies and do my own thing. For example some users I won't name can be real instigators that might tempt me to be uncivil, and then I'm not representing Wikipedia well or upholding policy, which is the job of administrators, and that's what I meant about how you sometimes vote. Of course personal tastes and discretion are allowed to some extent on FPC, and that can contribute to raising FPC standards and getting us quality images that are hard to find on the internet or anywhere else, but at the same time it seems to me that administrators have an extra duty even more so than regular users to enforce the policies, keep NPOV and such anywhere on WP they go; I'm not saying it's easy, I'm saying that's why I didn't try to take the job. ;-) And as an administrator who frequents FPC I would think you'd keep FPC's policies as your primary reference first before your own feelings.

Anyway, I'll probably be spending more time offline, in other areas of Wikmedia like Commons, trying to promote articles and working on VPC, WP:FP is nit-picky and wishy-washy but it's got plenty of regulars already. --I'ḏ♥One 19:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Your first paragraph seems to be fairly clearly in support of what I've said- yes, I fully support images that are not up to scratch not being promoted, and stronger images being nominated- what I do not support is miltiple unrelated images being nominated in the same nomination. The fact you present the crater as an "either/or" situation shows a rather basic misunderstanding- there's nothing stopping both a satellite shot and a pano being featured pictures, as they both show completely different things, and have value for different reasons- for exactly those reasons, the images should be nominated separately.

In response to the goose issue, no, I did not oppose based on where the image was placed, I opposed based on the lack of encyclopedic value. It added nothing to the article because it showed nothing not already shown by the taxobox image. It is not the job of FPC to say "support, this should be the taxobox image", and it certainly isn't our job to promote redundant images. Redundant images will frequently be filtered out of articles at FAC and the like. No, an image most certainly does not need to lead an article to have EV, but it does need to add something to the article beyond being "another pretty picture of x".

I honestly hope you don't leave FPC- we need all the participants we can get with these new rules, and plenty of your nominations have been great. As with anything else, there's a learning curve- my nominations miss the mark a lot, obviously, but it saddens me when I see people making fundamental mistakes.

Yeah, I thought the shell to be replaced by an acorn (an oak seed) with a small flower - if possible - from the middle of the plant. I was retiring the last month but I didn't so I am pretty sure that I will remain for at least 5 months. Happy editing, --Extra 999 (Contact ^me + _contribs) 11:33, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Acorn theme - If for an acorn what about a sprouting acorn for a VP candidate, some kind of oak tree or an oak branch for a pic promoted to VP, a golden autumn oak leaf for a former VP, and just an acorn itself or the cap of an acorn for a failed VP candidate? (I don't think acorns produce flowers) --I'ḏ♥One 22:41, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

F and A?

Hi, ILO, I've noted your reviews over the past few months at FPC, and I wonder whether you will consider being our judge this weekend for the FP Choice of the week in next week's edition of The Signpost. It would mean writing a paragraph after the "window" closes midnight Friday UTC (i.e., Saturday or by early Sunday UTC, if possible). Please let me know by email or on my talk page. Thanks.

Then we have to finish it off for the deadline Monday. Thanks. Tony (talk) 22:53, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Khanhoo

Hello user IdLoveOne, I was checking you userboxes and I wonder if you could create a userbox entitled: "Khanhoo - This user plays Khanhoo" by using the K card on the article Khanhoo for me. It's for my userpage only. As for the background color of the text, it could be the same as the card color or any other which might come to rememble that one. That is, if that's not much trouble for you to do that... Thanks a million Krenakarore (talk) 12:59, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

{{User:IdLoveOne/Userboxes/KhanhooRequest}} --I'ḏ♥One 15:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Great, but the text should be all in plain black color. The best would be if you'd make use of the K card found on the article - K as in Khanhoo...:) !
Thanks a lot for your help, and I thank you once more. Krenakarore (talk) 15:49, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

The king you mean? I was going for a red/black theme, but ok whatever..--I'ḏ♥One 16:17, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, perfect ! I prefer the background color like the color of this card because it's already blue, red, black and yellow, so the text should be black written on a background which might resemble the color of the card. If the background color were of a dark type the image would look heavy and I wanna make it light so that everyone can see it clearly. Wonderful......:) ! Thanks once again. Krenakarore (talk) 17:13, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

You're ingenious ! It looks great. I've made a few changes as for the colors in my Sandbox, but all in all it looks the same. I'll scan a higher resolution image to make it shine and get back to you.

Invalid promos

Neither Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Elizabeth Elmore and The Reputation nor Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Soldiers and Sailors Monument (2nd nomination) had sufficient support to promote. 4 supports are required last I checked.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:47, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I know, but no one seems to care. My idea, which you can see on my userpage, is just let a pic be considered promoted if it's not opposed in 25 days. We have like 90 nominations just sitting around and less than 200 valued pics. If no one has enough of a problem with one we may as well just consider that a passive support and move things along. I was going to close the nominations made from Aug 15 onward. --I'ḏ♥One 02:52, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Individuals do not set promotion policy and if you choose to pursue that policy, it could singlehandedly invalidate the whole WP:VPICS process and lend great support to arguments to shut it down. Under no circumstance should you promote any article, which do not meet the current standards. There is already serious consideration of shutting the whole process down. Individuals running around willy-nilly promoting stuff because they feel like it is not going to help. Please do not promote any articles that do not have 4 supports. Please undo any that you have done including Wikipedia:Valued picture candidates/Soldiers and Sailors Monument (2nd nomination).--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 04:00, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/File:PowerStation3.svg and Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/File:Glaucus atlanticus 1.jpg

Those closes really are a bit silly. The images unambiguously fail our criteria and the very point of featured pictures (they are not used in the article space...) and have done the entire time the nominations were ongoing. Note this discussion, where everyone but one agreed with the common sense delisting, and this ongoing discussion about these particular cases. J Milburn (talk) 10:15, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Just following the the procedure and it called for 5 votes, they had been sitting around for hours and I knew that since Maedin had voted she wouldn't be closing them, thought it wasn't a problem when no one contacted me about it yesterday. Should I re-open them and put them in "Older nominations requiring additional input from users"? --I'ḏ♥One 13:49, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, you were following the process and can't be criticised for that. I'd like to point out that the reasoning J Milburn has given is not entirely valid because, as Diliff and I have said here at the talk page, the images do not necessarily "fail the criteria"; the situation is a by-product of them having been edited, and nothing more. Considering the differences of opinion, I think your idea is fine: relist in "older nominations" for additional input, remove the red "voting period is over", and add to FPC urgents. Then wait for people to swing by and vote, and job done!  :) Maedin\^talk 14:16, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Maedin, those files (which is what I meant by "those images") most certainly do "fail the criteria". Another, similar file may or may not- that is debatable. J Milburn (talk) 16:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Roger Mooking

A tag has been placed on Roger Mooking 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Ok the article is a stub. The Questions are why is he important. If you give the answer I think you will, Everyday Exotic Gives no reasoning for the importance. Thanks--intelati1^(Call) 17:36, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

You are allowed to make a sandbox in you User space Like User:IdLoveOne‎/Sandbox to originally write your articles and avoid this problem. I have three sandboxes with articles in varying degrees of doneness. just a suggestion. Sorry for the rushed CSD, I couldn't see the importance of the article--intelati1^(Call) 17:41, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Good suggestion, just wanted to rush and put something on the pages so I could take the credit for starting them. >=) --I'ḏ♥One 17:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Take is slow. do no more than three articles at one time and see WP:WIN--intelati1^(Call) 17:46, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Back on the original subject. Roger Mooking is fine for now, but the Everyday Exotic makes no claim of importance. That one article is integral for the "safety" of Roger Mooking Thanks--intelati1^(Call) 17:49, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
