Myrtle Ave

So add stuff to the article! How's a street ever notable, unless it's Broadway? There's a hundred demented articles for city streets: 14th, 23rd, 34th, 42nd, 57th, 86th - what's the point? - CrazyRussian talk/email 19:57, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, we'll let it play out. I am working on a standard for street inclusion... - CrazyRussian talk/email 20:35, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Zander Vaubel

Hi Jeremy. Regarding the placement of the {{notability}} tag on the article Zander Vaubel, I understand that the information is verifiable (as you have listed multiple references), but what is it that makes this individual notable? If you can convince me that the criteria for WP:BIO are met, then I will remove the tag. Thanks~ —Brim 03:33, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's you should realize here is that the scope and purpose of Wikipedia is that of a general encylopedia. Encyclopedias are full of knowledge, knowledge that people think is worth knowing about. However, encyclopedias aren't about everything. If they were about everything, then they would be full of junk, and one of the important tasks in editing such a large encyclopedia is to filter out the junk. I'm not saying that Zander Vaubel is junk. Zander Vaubel may be important to you, his friends, his family, and he may have even gotten mentioned in a newspaper, but that in itself doesn't mean the world needs this information in an encyclopedia. I applaud your taking a stand on this issue you feel strongly about, but picking apart loopholes in what's a policy and what's a guideline isn't a good use of time. —Brim 05:01, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: your comments on my talk page, if you feel so passionately about the subject, then you may wish to try writing a new article about him from scratch. Be sure to write it so his contributions stand out. What makes him so notable? Before, the article made it sound like some schmuck fell from a roof -- Big deal. Make him sound like a big deal! Best of luck. —Brim 01:22, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work on Joe's Shanghai AfD!!

I'm glad you cited multiple sources. I didn't have time to find them myself. I hoping I could get your input on these AfDs as well Chicken and Rice and Hallo Berlin. Thanks :)Valoem ^talk 18:18, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shanghai Joe AFD

Hi Howrealisreal. I just closed the AFD based on the consensus, and with policy in mind. I saw the references you provided, and they weren't particularly good ones. The NY Times ones were provided by Zagalejo; these were restaurant reviews. These are evidence the place exists, not evidence of notability. Not enough for WP:CORP, let alone WP:NOT. The citysearch references were reader-submitted reviews (even more unreliable). Those do NOT constitute reliable sources. Therefore, the keep votes based on this were on shaky ground. Of the other keep votes, Oakshade failed to state any valid reason for keeping, and Valoem's stated his reason for keeping was that it won an award in the NY Times, which is either untrue or unverifiable, as no verification could be found. Note all this is purely based on the AFD discussion - it's not my job as the closer to verify or strike out these claims. I'll repost this at DRV if required.

Bill Slavick AFD

Just a note on your addition to the Bill Slavick AFD. Maine United States Senate election, 2006 already exists, so there is no need to create an article. --Bobblehead 02:08, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

National Development and Research Institute

Hello. You recently removed an unreferenced tag I placed on National Development and Research Institute. I believe this was unnecessary, because, according to WP:CITE, the article does not properly cite its sources. Please do not remove tags unless you have fixed the problem. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie 01:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He means the reference shouldn't be listed under "External links" but under a new "References" section. He doesn't state this to anyone because he likes us to brush up on our Wikipedia policies. - Dudesleeper · Talk 00:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As Dudesleeper so kindly mentions above, you must include a full citation for every source used in the article, as stated on WP:CITE. Please leave another message on my talk page if you need further assistance. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie 20:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Upski.gif

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Upski.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 23:36, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Berkeleycarrollschool.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Berkeleycarrollschool.jpg. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.
