Help with a new article

Hello. I had previously created an article about a company but it had been deleted for "advertising". So I created another edit and hopefully this doesn't contain any advertising. I just wanted to post what I had and wanted some feedback on how to make it better. Thanks in advance.

Xeltek Corporation

Xeltek (officially known as Exp Computer DBA Xeltek) is a manufacturer of universal programmer devices. The company’s headquarters is located in the heart of the Silicon Valley (Sunnyvale, CA) while the main manufacturing takes place in Nanjing, China with a smaller branch in Seoul, Korea to support with R&D projects.

The company was founded in Korea under the name Zues in 1985. In 1991, the company moved to the Silicon Valley with the new title: Xeltek. Xeltek carries its programmer devices by the registered brand name SuperPro®, established in 1994.

Achievements

Xeltek was the first programmer manufacturer to develop the term “Stand-Alone” programming to the universal programmer industry. Stand-alone programming is an application which allows users to compile supported IC devices on a PC-independent platform through the aid of an LCD screen mounted on the programmer. Xeltek has been offering this functionality since August of 2000

Current Products

Xeltek is a supplier of programming solutions for memories, microcontrollers and programmable logic devices such as EPROM, Paged EPROM, Parallel and Serial EEPROM, FPGA Configuration PROM, FLASH memory (NOR & NAND), BPROM, NVRAM, SPLD, CPLD, EPLD, Firmware HUB, Microcontroller, MCU, Standard Logic, etc…

History

In 2009, Xeltek got into the ISP Programming market. In 2010, Xeltek had developed over 1000 socket adapters to support solutions for most of the packing types for IC devices. Xeltek has been running R&D projects for developing automated device programming systems since 2006 with the contribution of engineers in Korea and China. Xeltek has already introduced a new automated handler to the Far East Market and is scheduled to be released to the U.S. market and the rest of the world by the end of 2010.

This is just an outline so far. If this was okay I was wondering if I could also receive help on some sources I found to help make this article notable. (Basically want to know if the sources I found would make this article credible)

Thank you, Junjoon (talk) 19:14, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Looks better. I would recommend removing the sections titled "Current Products" and "Achievements". Both of those sections are highly promotional in nature, and, as you probably already know, Wikipedia is not to be used for advertising. I'd also recommend you have a look at WP:PEACOCK. Otherwise, looking pretty good. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 08:22, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again but I have made another edited version of this article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Junjoon/Xeltek_inc.#External_links%7C Tried very hard to remove all promotional or peacock terms. Waiting to hear back thank you very much Junjoon (talk) 20:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry to have to say this, but the old version was far less promotional in nature. I recommend going back to the original version and working from there. The article I see right now would probably not survive for even 5 minutes in the mainspace. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:32, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Sad to hear that. I'll just have to try again. Thank you for your time Junjoon (talk) 21:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, here once again to bother you. Could I get this draft reviewed another time? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Junjoon/Xeltek_inc. Thanks for your time Junjoon (talk) 23:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Much better. I think it's just about ready to be moved to the articlespace. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 01:21, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

AAC Request

I took your advice and reported usernames to the Admins for review. The majority of them I submitted were legitimate (meaning the username was bad) and I would like to know if I can have access to the AAC. I have also read the documentation of the AAC so I know what to do. I have submitted a email to the list for re-approval and I did not get a reply within 3 weeks. So, I am coming to you, someone I know will answer. I believe I have done my best to prepare and get ready for this. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 21:21, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I think you may have misunderstood me. My apologies for being unclear the first time. If you're interested in the account creator right, you'll need to have reached the 6 accounts created limit per day. To learn how and why you'd want to create an account for others, see WP:ACCGUIDE. To get started, request access to the account creator interface by going here. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions or are in need of assistance. Regards, FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 05:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

I did that and requested access in June. I was denied and told to report usernames and get involved with the documentation and now I would like to see if I can be approved for the tool now. I thought you were an admin that could approve this. Joe Gazz84^user•_talk•^contribs•_{Editor Review} 00:12, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Try it again. If they deny you, let me know and I'll speak with them. Yes, as an administrator, I can grant you the right, however, I can only do so once you have reached the 6 accounts created per day maximum, which, believe me, is very easy once you have access to the account creator interface. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:17, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Fastily, small point of order: Once someone has had a request to join ACC declined they already have an account on the project, just it is not active. Sending someone to re-register would give them error messages about already having an account and if they worked around that they are now socking at account creation. I think you could guess how well that would go over.

As to the request to join the project, in addition to here, there are messages on FunPika's talk page [1], my talk page [2]. As to my own reason for not responding, i told Joe to take a few months to get some more experience. He was back asking me in exactly one month. 15 minutes after asking me about ACC he asked you about clerking at UAA.[3] A little more than a week later he asked FunPika about ACC. Neither FunPika nor myself replied. I can only speculate on why FunPika didn't reply. Joe also emailed the ACC mailing list [4] twice [5]. It was noticed by another ACC admin [6] who noted the request on my talk page. I replied that i had other things to do and was sure i had told Joe to take more time and suggested a different admin review it now.[7] Having looked at the mailing list archive i now see that noone actually replied to Joe. Oops. I am asking around to see what other project members think. delirious & lost ☯ ^~hugs~ 12:52, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah, ok. I'm not active at all in the account creation process, so I guess I wouldn't known -_- At any rate, thanks for the clarification. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:04, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

50reverts

How do i know if i have 50 reverts, is there a way to check that. Inka ⁸⁸⁸ 04:49, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

There has to be a better way:

$ curl -s "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Contributions&limit=500&target=Inka+888" | grep Reverted | wc -l
31

Looks like just over 30. ErikHaugen (talk) 05:05, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't think there is any way to easily tell the amount of reverts alone. I would manually check them. L Kensington (talk • contribs) 05:28, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

Inka, I'm still not confident you have the appropriate level of experience to use rollback properly. Once you reach 50 or so reverts of vandalism we'll talk. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:20, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I think i might of done that now. Inka ⁸⁸⁸ 01:49, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

do you know my current number of reverts, it's fine if you don't you don't have to check for me. Inka ⁸⁸⁸ 03:13, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I think it is at least 50 now. --Inka ⁸⁸⁸ 22:01, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Page deletion

Hi, the page Neon Knights (band) has been deleted. I was unaware that a topic (in this case band) had to be of a certain status... Can you please clarify. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.60.142 (talk) 00:20, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

It was deleted per the WP:PROD process, as an uncontested prod flagged for more than 7 days. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I did not receive any notification about this. Therefore I was unable to know that it was PROD. Can this page be re instated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.60.142 (talk) 03:08, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

I can certainly restore the page for you, but I would recommend having it restored to your userspace first so that you can go about improving it (and avoiding needless re-deletion for the same reason) before moving it back to the mainspace. How does that sound? -FASTILY ^(TALK) 19:30, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Yes that is fine you can restore it to my userspace 1st. What amendments need to be made to avoid re deletion? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.38.60.142 (talk) 23:37, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Nomacorc, LLC

Hi Fastily,

I see that you deleted the Nomacorc, LLC page immediately after I added two facts with direct references to The Wall Street Journal. You cited that the page was "advertising" or "promotion." Can I ask how two facts that have been added straight from the Wall Street Journal flagged the entire article for deletion?

More time as i spent a long time

Hello, I made a Page about Plug Studios that you just Deleted, I didt get time to say why it should not be deleted, I cant get it back anymore to say why, but I cant make it again as it took 1 day and a half, I would just like to say please give a bit more time for me to add the hangon tag. :(

I cant tell you why I think it shouldt be deleted but I spent a long time making that and not even 8 mins to add the hangon tag.

Next time give more time as i spent a long long time to make a page without 8mins to add the tag, so i spent over a day making a page with no time to add the Hangon tag.

Two deleted images

Hi, I have an appropriate OTRS ticket (#2010081510004265) for the following two files which were recently deleted by yourself for no evidence of permission. Would you be prepared to undelete on the basis that I can now add the OTRS confirmation?

Hi, there may have been a slight confusion, the OTRS ticket was not actually approved at the time when you added the tag to these images. I was asking for undeletion so that I could verify that the claims of the email were correct. In practice there appears to be no issue and I shall close the ticket. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 10:19, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I restored and blanked Road_to_F.A._Cup because a request on WP:REFUND indicated that an OTRS ticket has been entered. This hasn't been confirmed yet and hopefully will be done so quickly.

Hey! What happened to this template? I had a couple of templates tagged with it, and now it's gone. It's ironic that I would check before I would tag templates as being deprecated and orphaned - but it was obviously not orphaned itself before it was deleted.

Yes. This template is for tagging templates for deletion as a non-controversial housekeeping task, and when it is not being used can appear to be orphaned. Seems ironic. Secondarywaltz (talk) 03:15, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: Nomacorc LLC

Hey Fastily,

Thanks for letting me know, however I didn't create the page, I simply added two edits to it. Is there a way to reinstate the page without my edits?

Please advise. Capagody (talk) 02:01, 31 August 2010 (UTC)Capagody

Without your edits? Yes, there is, but the revision of the page before your edits is still somewhat promotional in nature. That version is marginally passable, so I'll restore it if you like. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 02:38, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Wrong tag?

Hi Fastily. Thanks for responding so fast. I'm not so sure that I used the wrong tag for File:StrangeTales-127.jpg. True, it's an orphan now, but that's only because I removed it from the article where it was being used. I just finished writing my rationale for its deletion on the image talk page, but it basically comes down to it not being the actual cover of the issue that it claims to be. Rather it's a derivative work created by a hobbyist. So, the fair use rationale, which was written as though it were any other comic book cover and thus most likely fair use, doesn't really apply here. I couldn't find a speedy deletion tag that neatly matched this situation, however. Db-f7 seemed closest. It will probably get deleted either way, but it would hardly be fair of me to orphan the image and then declare it an orphan. ;-) Cheers, GentlemanGhost (talk) 02:37, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I see what you mean. For future reference, use the tag {{db-hoax}} for hoax/fan-made files/articles. WP:CSD#F7 applies to a completely different thing; I assumed that you meant to place an orphaned tag on the article but accidentally placed the "wrong tag" on the file. At any rate, file deleted under WP:CSD#G3. Thanks for letting me know. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 02:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll use that tag in the future (although hopefully I won't see this too often). --GentlemanGhost (talk)

Second look?

Hi Fastily, can you take a look at the deleted history of The Brides of Sodom (film)? Just before you deleted it, the editor rewrote the plot to eliminate some/all of the copyvio material. I'm not saying the article's still worthy of inclusion, but it may be worth restoring for the time being. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:09, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

I had another look, and, to be honest, I'm fine with either way. I'll support whatever action you decide to take. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 04:40, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Cray CX1000 Article Deletion

   Why did you delete my Cray CX1000 article? It was by no means intended to be advertising or promotion. My article only documented the Cray CX1000; it did not in any way advertise for Cray.

Hi! Regarding wireless expense management

Hi Fastily,

Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could move back wireless expense management after some edits.

This is a unique process and segment of industry, very different from the broad term "telecom expense management". Unlike telecom expense management, wireless expense management is directly associated with data, global usage, etc. This means that completely different processes and technology are used to provide different insight into wireless billings with numerous carriers, rate plans, and roaming issues.

I can remove the name of the company and the link (even if the U.S. patent office agrees that they invented the process) if you'd like, but the patent is 100% objective, legitimate, and relevant. If you read the abstract of patent at the US Patent and Trademark's website, you can see what I mean.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope we can come to a mutual agreement on this matter.

The tags were originally placed on the file by Fixer23. Basically what this means is that the files to do not enhance a reader's understanding to the point where their exclusion would be detrimental to the integrity of the article. Long story short, there is not enough context (in terms on notability) in the article on these photos to warrant their inclusion.

Epiphan Systems article

Hi Fastily,

You deleted the Epiphan Systems article due to lack of notability, and cited that Ottawa Business Journal reference was 404'd. The reason for this was a change in Ottawa Business Journal's website structure. Here is a link to the article: http://www.obj.ca/Other/Special-Reports/2009-04-22/article-303830/FASTEST-GROWING-COMPANIES%3A-%235---Epiphan-Systems-Inc./

Furthermore, Epiphan Systems' technology is notable in the field of telemedicine and is used by NASA, as shown on NASA's official website: http://www.nasa.gov/offices/oce/appel/ask/issues/39/39i_invention.html

Thus, I ask you to review the deletion of the Epiphan Systems article and reinstate it, which will allow me to correct the references and text.

Image Deletion and licensing tags

Unfortunately, I saw that the image I had uploaded has been deleted. I thought I had the tags set up correctly for the image, but since it is deleted, and it was the first image I have uploaded, I'm not certain exactly what I did that was incorrect. I would like to get the image restored since I am working with the local Boy Scout Council on having that patch produced once again. I have copied the text viewed when trying to edit the image information.

"A page with this title has previously been deleted.

If you are creating a new page with different content, please continue. If you are recreating a page similar to the previously deleted page, or are unsure, please first contact the deleting administrator using the information provided below.

I deleted the file because it was missing a license tag. Per Wikipedia non-free content criterion #10b, media files must bear a license tag. Media files that do not bear a license tag are subject to deletion under speedy deletion criterion F4 within 7 days of being flagged. Feel free to reupload the file, but be sure to include a license tag. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 19:14, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Inquiry regarding deleted page

Dear Fastily,

I work with Dr. David F. Gordon, Head of Research at Eurasia Group, and I'm writing to respectfully ask why his page was deleted from Wikipedia? David held very senior positions in the US government prior to coming to Eurasia Group, including Director of Policy Planning at the State Department and Deputy Chairman of the National Intelligence Council. During his government career, he was central to many foreign policy decisions, and led strategic policy dialogues with over 20 countries. In addition, Dr. Gordon is a published author, and frequently appears in the broadcast and print media commentating on international political issues. Some recent examples:

http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2009/08/podcast_can_china_save_america.html http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232/?video=1484213845&play=1 http://content.usatoday.com/topics/article/People/Politicians,+Government+Officials,+Strategists/World+Leaders/Hu+Jintao/03KO0BAcQy9dR/1

I do not understand what was offensive or insignificant about his page that would require active deletion.

Could you please explain?

The article was deleted via the WP:PROD process. While I can restore it for you, I would recommend having a copy restored to your userspace, where you can work on it (and later move it back to the articlespace when you're ready) and avoid needless re-deletion. How does that sound? -FASTILY ^(TALK) 19:16, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response, and I would very much appreciate if you could restore the article. Could you also give me some insight into why the article was deleted in the first place, so that I may make relevant adjustments? El salar (talk) 19:24, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

What To Do Next Time Around...

Hi Fastily,

I noticed that my article was deleted. Can you tell me what I need to do to ensure that any other articles that I write don't get deleted. What was wrong with this article so that I may better write future articles.

Thank you in advance for taking your time to assist me.

Thank you for answering my question. Would you know where I can submit the deleted article for review? I wanted to see if I could get a more clear direction on how I should revise article "Allomap". If I have to just make minor changes here or there or if I need to re-write the whole article.

Yervand Kochar article has been deleted.

Hi, article about Yervand Kochar has been deleted. Can I know why? Yervand Kochar is a notable person and a great name in Armenian and world art. A creator of "Painting in Space" who's biography is for sure worth being included in wikipedia as an encyclopedic article. Could you help with advice on how to keep the article away from deletion? Thanks a lot. George

Weird!

Hey Fastily!

I notice that you rejected a call to block IP 216.79.193.55 at WP:AIV.

I was about to post that there wasn't sufficient recent activity to warrant a block before you replied refusing it anyway. But could I ask you to look at the IP talk page? It's just very strange, they've been given 4 warnings all today but I can only see the IP editing once today? One of the articles he was supposedly warned about was History of classical music traditions and that hasn't been edited since 24 August according to it's history!

The warnings from the editor reporting it to WP:AIV all happened within about a minute of each other. I'm just wondering if the IP is being warned for edits that happened weeks or months ago? If they are it seems a little harsh given that their contributions before today were in May (I think). Just thought I'd mention it for it to be looked into as the IP is now on it's final warning when that may be incorrect --5 albert square (talk) 23:00, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I know. People do that quite often actually. When that happens I simply decline the request. It's sad how little good faith is displayed sometimes. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Ah so it is the individual user. OK, thought it was Wikipedia being glitchy again! --5 albert square (talk) 23:53, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

50 reverts

I have made 50 reverts why are you not even responding to my talk comments. And also i would of made more but twinkle would not work. There is a lot of vandalism lately. Inka ⁸⁸⁸ 00:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I had a look at your recent contributions and talk page posts, and well, apologies for being blunt, but, I'm seeing an extraordinary level of gross incompetence on your part. I have no doubt that your intentions are for the best of the project, but you really need to slow down and take it easy. Wikipedia is not a race or a video game. Some of your recent activity has been less than satisfactory, and in retrospect, I feel like this may have been a little early. A quick glance at your talk page indicates that you are overusing the {{helpme}} template regarding trivial things that can easily be found through a simple search, using the reviewer right without being fully aware of what it even does, and attempting to coyly get past Carnildo - [8], [9]. Furthermore, all this only happened within <72 hours. I'm sorry to have to tell you all this, but I don't feel like you're ready for Rollback; it is a powerful tool, capable of causing a significant amount of damage if misued. Please, if you want rollback, have a look at WP:V - read it carefully. I want to see reverts of vandalism, not good faith edits or mistakes. If locating vandalism is a problem, utilize Special:RecentChanges; I've told you this all to many times in the past. Tell you what, I'll even teach you how to use it now. Take this sample entry in RC:

(diff | hist) . . Hotel Yorba‎; 01:08 . . (+32) . . 70.27.69.194 (talk) (Grammar fixes.)

• diff = link to the differences made by the editor to the page in question.
• hist = link to the history of the page in question.
• +32 = number of bytes added/removed - statistically, the larger the absolute value of the number is, the more likely it is to be vandalism.
• 1:08 = timestamp (i.e. the time the edit was made at today)

Inka, I just want you to know that if you believe I am being unfair, or that you think you deserve the right, please let me know; I will refer your case to the community. However, please bear in mind that your recent activity is no deal breaker and that I am willing to give you rollback if you can improve the quality of your editing and vandalism reverts. I hope we can come to an understanding on this. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 01:19, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

i was not trying to coyly get past carnildo, i was telling him what happened i had no idea how the copyright got removed. And what makes you think i don't know how to use my reviewer rights. I read the page before i filled out the request for reviewer and i fully met the criteria i edit everyday and i make more edits than a lot of people, i read all the stuff i was supposed to before i requested as well. I no idea what bwilkins is talking about me having no experience and being a "newcomer". And when i use {{helpme}} templates a lot of the time i have already read the information that is in the article and i would like a personal tip from someone that has been on here a lot longer than me. I will work on getting more reverts of vandalism. Inka ⁸⁸⁸ 02:23, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok. Sounds good. I look forward to granting you rollback in the near future. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:07, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Inka, Fastily is right. You haven't given the rest of us here reason to believe you're ready to use more powerful tools responsibly. I, too, am sorry to be so blunt but you are a newcomer here. You still have a lot to learn, and you seem more interested in having cool tools than you are in learning how this place works. Just to cite a couple of small examples, take a look at wp:indent. And you're not yet familiar with the convention that a thread should stay on the page where it starts; e.g. if a user asks you a question on your talk page it's on your own talk page where most users will want you to reply. The idea is that it's harder to follow a "conversation" after the fact when it's spread out across two or more talk pages. ( You do know how to use the wp:watchlist facility, right? ) Anyway, I second Fastily's video game comment. It's not about racking up "points" here by getting cool tools. This place, at its best, is about working carefully and deliberately to produce the highest-quality result each of us is capable of offering. My advice would be that you refrain from requesting any new permissions for at least three months - and I'd be happier with six - while you learn more about how things work here. Best,  – OhioStandard (talk) 03:17, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, Wikipedia:Tutorial_(Talk_pages) suggests doing the opposite of what you say, silly as it seems to you and me. That's why we have {{talkback}}/etc. ErikHaugen (talk) 04:39, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

@ErikHaugen: I've replied on your talk page.  – OhioStandard (talk) 10:10, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Just kidding, Erik. ;-) Someone should rewrite that section, though, at least to explain how to use one's watchlist in connecton with ongoing conversations and to identify that as the norm. Maybe I'll do that at some point. Thanks, though, for pointing it out. Best,  – OhioStandard (talk) 10:17, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Template:Untagged

I've reverted your edits to Template:Untagged. There's a reason why the template uses the category "images with no copyright tag" rather than "images with unknown copyright status": User:ImageTaggingBot applies it when the bot knows that the image does not contain a copyright tag, but where the copyright status may have been supplied in some other way, such as a plain-text statement or by subst'ing a copyright tag. --Carnildo (talk) 01:28, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Fair use image tags

Thanks for your contribution at File:GraceHopper.jpg - since you work more in this area, could you clarify something for me? I added the CSD (F7) tag on the grounds that the tag was "obviously" incorrect, in the sense that it was absurd to claim that no free use image could now be used due to the subject's death, given that the subject's article already contained a free use image. But re-reading F7 I'm not sure whether it was that "obviously" incorrect (WP:CSD seems to suggest that it would work for a tag of the wrong type e.g. "fair use logo" used for a mascot; here the tag used was of the correct kind for the type of photo but its justification was flawed) so you were correct to change it.

You replaced it with {tl|di-replaceable fair use disputed}} which I considered doing; I thought it better not to, since that tag is for cases where the photo "illustrates a subject for which a free image might reasonably be found" - and in this case a free image already has been found. I've always thought of the "replaceable fair use" image as the "don't be lazy, find or make a free one yourself" tag. Is there a designated tag for "this fair use image has already been replaced by a free use image", or is "replaceable fair use" deemed to include that case? It looks a wee bit odd for the tag to suggest that, hypothetically, a free use image could be found, when one already has! But I can't think of a better tag at the moment. TheGrappler (talk) 02:37, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Actually, I used {{subst:rfu}}, same thing though. For the record, non-free media files are only eligible for immediate speedy deletion under WP:CSD#F7 iff:

• The file has been tagged with {{Di-disputed fair use rationale}} or one of it's variants (e.g. {{subst:dnfcc}}, {{subst:rfu}}) for more than 2 days
• The fair use rationale and/or license tag claims the file as an entity that the photo does not represent. For instance, a photo of a man claimed as non-free logo (with {{non-free logo}}) when this is obviously not the case may subject to on-sight deletion under WP:CSD#F7.

Hope that helps to answer your question. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:14, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Some advice

Hi

You seem to have your finger on the pulse when it comes to images. What would you do about this bizarre situation?

User has uploaded files to en which are just distorted copies of good files on Commons - for example:

• File:Napoleon III, Emperor of the French.png is distorted copy of File:Franz Xaver Winterhalter Napoleon III.jpg
• File:Napoleon I, Emperor of the French.png is distorted copy of File:Jacques-Louis David 017.jpg
• File:Louis Napoleon, Prince Imperial.png is distorted copy of File:Napoléon Eugène Bonaparte, sitting.jpg

etc... (if you doubt they are distorted just pick something circular to look at like the clock in the second, or the badge in the third)

He then proceeds to edit war to insert them into Emperor of the French and other articles. I've never seen behaviour quite this odd, and wondered if you had any thoughts?  Begoon&#149;talk 05:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

That ought to solve it. :-) Thanks for the prompt action.  Begoon&#149;talk 05:56, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Indeed, the behavior is concerning. I'll get to work on deleting the distorted copies. In the mean time, it would make my work easier if you could help out in restoring the proper files. At any rate, thanks for letting me know. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 06:08, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I'll restore any articles I can see that have incorrect files as a result of this. Thanks again.  Begoon&#149;talk 07:18, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Port number associated redirects

Greetings Fastily. I noticed that you recently deleted a number of redirects including a few that I happened to encounter while entering common phrases in search of port number related articles. I see that these redirects used to point to Port number (Internet socket) that you had recently renamed to simply Port number. I believe that many of the redirects are useful common phrases and it would be beneficial to restore them and update their target. (Personally, I had searched for well known port, TCP port and internet port while probing.) Would you have any objections to my restoring them? -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 05:42, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine with me. Restore as needed. Best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 06:09, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Holy Roman Emperor

I see that you are trying to fix this page but it seems like a real mess right now. Would you mind if I revert it to this previous revision? The tables look better if they are together than seperate on each monarch and none of the images are distorted. I also fixed the Emperor of Austria you seem to have Charles I and Francis I fixed up.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 06:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

To Fastily, I uploaded those images in good faith and was NOT aware they were distorted. As on my computer which uses a 1280 by 1024 pixel resolution monitor they DO NOT show up distorted!!!

Delete Bedat & Co page

Dear Fastily,

Following my contribution yesterday, I have just seen that you deleted the Bedat & Co text. To prepare this text, I have taken as an example the description of other brands like Piaget, Baume et Mercier, Chopard... to respect the rules of Wikipedia. I have worked a lot to write the most factual text I can after Eeekster's message.

As you have deleted my text could you be so kind to help me on this matter? Could you please explain to me what's wrong and how I can change the text to be in accordance with the Wikipedia concept? I have put this text here under for your information.

Thank you for your help.

Best regards, Sophie CF Link: Bedat & Co

Bedat & Co – Wikipedia text

Bedat & Co is a Swiss watch brand specialized in feminine luxury timepieces. The company was created in 1996 by Simone Bédat and her son Christian Bédat.

History After more than 50 years of experience in the watch industry, Simone Bédat created her own brand with her son in 1996. They have collaborated with the Swiss Italian designer Dino Modolo for the creation of their first collection of classic timepieces. It was presented in 1997 during Baselworld. In parallel, they have developed the AOSC concept (“Appelation d’Origine Suisse Certifiée”) guarantying the Swiss origin of the parts and the production. In 2000, Gucci Group acquired 85% of Bedat & Co with Simone Bédat serving as the chairwoman while her son Christian remaining as chief executive officer and a shareholder. Some new collections were launched in 2003, 2004 and 2008. In 2006, Simone and Christian Bédat departed from the company making the Gucci Group the sole owner of Bedat & Co. Following their departure, the Bedat & Co’s company worked with new designers. In 2008, the Swiss watch brand launched its very first stand alone boutique in Kuala Lumpur, the opening of which was officiated by the Queen of Malaysia, Seri Paduka Baginda Permaisuri Agong Tanhu Nu Zahirah. In 2009, Malaysia based company, Luxury Concepts watches and jewellery announced their acquisition of Bedat & Co. In spite of this, the brand remains a 100% Swiss company with global distribution. In 2010, Bedat & Co returned to the roots and worked again with the designer Dino Modolo for the last collection.

Collections Bedat & Co comprises 5 collections. Each one wears a number: 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8. These numbers are easy to memorize and to pronounce all around the world. Each number corresponds to a form of shape: - No1: Square-shaped cases curved at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock - No2: Oval-shaped cases - No3: “Tonneau”-shaped cases - No7: Rectangular-shaped cases curved at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock - No8: “Round in a cushion” shaped cases
