User talk:Garkeith

Please click here to leave me a new message and I will respond on your talk page. If I have left you a message on your talk page, please respond here. I have better things to do than to stalk your talk page, just as you have more important priorities that to keep watching and/or checking back with mine (unless you don't, in which case I suggest joining your local YMCA or perhaps adopting a puppy) and, frankly, the idea of someone watching my talk page sorta creeps me out. But then again, if you were not inclined to respond here and instead replied on your own talk page, you probably aren't reading this, so the point is moot. If that is the case, hopefully I will get around to checking my past posts to other users' talk pages sooner than later, but most likely I won't for a while. Either way, I'm sure that you are a valued editor and keep up the good work (unless you aren't, then should stop sucking).

Rich Rodriguez Birthplace

I'm not sure if you read the source posted, but it was an official University biography. I'd like to think that trumps a source about him meeting with alumni with vague language ("native" is often used to indicate having grown up in a place) an interview where Rodriguez spoke about moving from Chicago was previously used as a source but also reverted. Considering my source was official, I'm going to revert. -- MichiganCharms (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to have to disagree with you, but I can show you Rodriguez's own words talking to reporters about moving to West Virginia. While it's ultimately unimportant, why should he and the University of Michigan (through official sources like media guides) lie about something so trivial? I have an official source and a firsthand telling from the coach himself to use as a source. If you can match them with something directly stating he was born in Grant Town, I'll let it stand. --MichiganCharms (talk) 08:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again, I hate to be different but this is an article from Michigan Today... the official alumni magazine for the university. The article is written by John Bacon, a journalist who was given complete access to the Michigan team last year. It features the following quote: "I was in the second grade," Rodriguez recalls, "and I'd never even heard of West Virginia. Man, I just hated it. But what saved me was sports. I could go outside, and bounce a ball off our roof for hours—a baseball, a basketball, even a football, it didn't matter—until my dad got a hoop and bolted it onto the roof. Looking back on it, for a family that was getting government cheese and didn't have enough money to pave our dirt driveway, that was a hell of a gift." [1]. We're left with two options... either Rodriguez is lying, which is immaterial unless we have something like a birth certificate to supersede it, or people just have assumed he's from Grant Town his entire life and he never bothered to correct them. I personally could care less, except in the interest of building a better encyclopedia. I'll leave your references for now, but I will ask WikiProject Biographies of Living People for advice on the matter. -- MichiganCharms (talk) 08:26, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I'm not sure a lot of people from West Virgina particularly want him to be from there haha. Anyway, I'll leave it as Grant Town for the time being. I asked WP:BIO for advice, but I'm not honestly not that interested in something this trivial. He grew up there anyway, so any argument about it is pretty dumb. --MichiganCharms (talk) 08:37, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have nominated Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest punchers of all time, an article that you created, for deletion.

Proposed deletion of Coley White

The article Coley White has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable college football player, fails WP:GNG and WP:ATHLETE

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Orphaned non-free image File:Summitstructures.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Summitstructures.jpg. 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

I've removed the image you've added to Body piercing, as I don't believe it is right for the article. There is more information at the article's talk. If you disagree, please state why at that talk page, and we will seek consensus from other contributors. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 11:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a better tone, thank you.

You* called it a horse race. I just answered. And the only thing that stands to gain or lose here is the quality of the article. That's all. I do not care who you are, where you live, what you do and what your hobbies are, and neither does anyone else. This has to do with facts and science, nothing more, nothing less. You have been on Wikipedia long enough to understand that, so I will assume that you refraining from speculating about my personality, of which you know exactly zero in the future. Personal attacks is not allowed, and you know it. It's not my fault you have been fooled by pseudo-scientific nonsense, don't be angry with me. --OpenFuture (talk) 11:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Bill stewart.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Bill stewart.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 03:16, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Late Benedum

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Michael Late Benedum requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

New Page Patrol survey

New page patrol – Survey Invitation

Hello Garkeith! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you.

If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only.
If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it.

Please click HERE to take part.
Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback.

You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages. For more information, please see NPP Survey

I see that you're a fan of his and I can understand why you'd want him to be included on the Mountaineers in professional football list, but c'mon...that's akin to Pitt proclaiming that Joe Flacco is one of theirs (and Flacco actually played a few snaps for the Panthers).

Speedy deletion nomination of Emily Shaffer

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Emily Shaffer 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Non-free rationale for File:Emilyshaffer.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Emilyshaffer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Emilyshaffer.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Emilyshaffer.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- GB fan 17:45, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Garkeith,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Richbehm.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Richbehm.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Empire National Bank Building

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Empire National Bank Building requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from sah-archipedia.org/buildings/WV-01-HR9 and wboy.com/news/harrison/want-to-own-a-historic-7-story-building-in-downtown-clarksburg-nows-your-chance. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I wrote the article without copying it directly from anything, several sources were used. I think I found the sentence that must have been flagged and corrected it. If it was initially copied and pasted it was in error and it was corrected. Garkeith (talk) 18:05, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your work. Had a huge amount of wp:peacock wording. I took much out but that still needs more work. Needs a lead which is a summary of the article. Happy editing!
