wikify!

Slovenly is a word I find myself using quite a bit at the moment. Slovenly is what I think of anybody who leaves a message here about an article and fails to provide a wikilink to the article. How do you expect me to read the article if you don't link to it?
I reserve the right to ignore any message which does not provide links where appropriate or has not been signed with ~~~~. Even if the article has been deleted, you should still link to it.
And if that sounds like a grumpy old man, it's because I am ...

Josef Rosch Image deletion

Hi, I uploaded File:Josef Rösch.jpg for an article on Josef Rosch. It was tagged for speedy deletion because of some sort of "copyright infringement." However, I replied that not only do I have permission from the copyright owner (Dotter Institute) but that I can provide it if necessary. So, why was the file deleted and how can I avoid getting it deleted in the future?

My plan is actually to use a different, higher quality photo. I also will have copyright authority for this image. What sort of documentation do you want to prevent a deletion? Thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Caspace3 (talkcontribs)

  • You had put an absolute minimum of effort into preparing the image description:
{{Information |Description = Photo of Josef Rösch |Source = Available online |Author = Dotter Institute |Permission = Evidence: Will be provided on request. }} ==Licensing== Free use for wikipedia.
Description - could have linked to the article about the guy. "Available online" - disgusting - provide a link to it! "Will be provided on request" - no! - evidence must be provided at the time of upload. "Free use for wikipedia" - hopelessly vague - we need a proper Creative Commons licence. And we definitely want a decent size article instead of the thumbnail you supplied. If the new image is available online and has an appropriate CC licence attached, simply upload it here, point out that the source has a CC licence and reproduce that licence here. Failing that, read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:42, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Louis-Modeste Zoubabela Ngabanka II

Hi Roger, I'm contacting you to enquire about the speedy deletion of the article Louis-Modeste Zoubabela Ngabanka II. Actually the article is meant to be a biography. Thus, I found relevant to attach references as evidence of actions performed by a person who has quite few followers. However, with all due respect to the Wikipedia policy, once any inappropriate content is clearly labelled, I believe your valuable feedback will help improve the article. Thank you for your time. Regards, Ngabanka II — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ngabanka2 (talkcontribs) 00:30, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

  • It is considered the height of vanity to write about oneself. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks you are notable and writes about you. Another small matter was that the article was in French and this is the English Wikipedia. If you really insist on submitting the article, please do so at fr:Louis-Modeste Zoubabela Ngabanka II - with the © symbol omitted. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:00, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

G13 deletion summary

"Causing page-widening" should not be a reason for shortening the deletion summary of G13 to something that is almost incoherent. I think the ease of comprehension for new users should be put well ahead of page appearance for deleting administrators. Can I urge you to restore the longer deletion summary at MediaWiki:deletereason-dropdown, and instead use personal CSS to make the dropdown narrower? — This, that and the other (talk) 03:16, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

If curious, here is some example CSS code you could use: #wpDeleteReasonList { width: 20em; } Adjust the "width" value to taste. — This, that and the other (talk) 03:19, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Djing

User RHowarth .... I am user SubVersion Kru ...... i don't really understand your wish to have the entry 'dj spice' removed. I am conducting research for a piece on the the last great youth movement... the acid house scene, looking at not only what helped create the scene, but also a little about the people who were behind creating it....... if you had any knowledge of this matter, and i am sure you don't...... you would know that the gentleman the entry was descibing, Mr Barry Dossett, played a major part in the creation of this movement.........I am new to using wikipedea, so please if it has been removed for any valid reason, please forgive me, otherwise, and i'm not really sure how this works, but could you please withdraw your unfounded application for removal....... we live in an information age.....and at last count, history was part of that......in fact as somebody that has been closely connected with music and youth culture on many levels, i'm a little dumbfounded. please help me understand. thank you....

list of school cheating scandal

NOt quite sure where the speedy deletion came from, and lack of time (<24 hours) for me to respond I take it you agree that notability is not an issue; I gather from the notices that you seem to think the article was not well written enough ? yours cinnamon colbert PS: I put a lot of work into gathering all those urls; how do i get them back ?
