Translation inline tags

[edit]

Hi, quick question: when you remove inline translation tags with a summary like this, is that because you know the source language, or because you know English? SamuelRiv (talk) 15:07, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bit of both, if you wanted the full title it would be along of the lines of "Population of Azerbaijan" as the top level header, then the first sub-header is "Territories of the Russian Empire, later included in the Azerbaijan SSR (1886) (excluding territories that were part of the NKAO)". However looking closer at the context, that's the wrong section and should actually be the 14th section, which has the sub-header "Azerbaijan SSR (1979) (excluding the NKAO)"--Jac16888 Talk 16:16, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for catching the wrong section header -- I mostly just was checking that the references pointed to something that could remotely be considered a RS for that s-storm of a conflict when I did the cleanup. The auto-translation just felt weird and incorrect to me, like the second clause could not follow the first, which was why I tagged it, but I suppose I must have just been tired.

Ориенбанк

[edit]

Надо удалить все статии об этой Банке я являюсь представительном этого Банка на рус. ОАО "Ориенбанк", на тадж. ҶСК "Ориёнбонк", на анг. OJSC "Orienbank" и дабавить статье из инкубатора на тему Ориенбанк на 3 -х языках заранее спасибо. 217.11.184.226 (talk) 05:40, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English language Wikipedia, if you wish to write articles about Orienbank in other languages you need to visit those Wikipedias, see here, although as an employee you have a clear conflict of interest and should not be editing about it at all--Jac16888 Talk 16:41, 25 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Required attributions

[edit]
  • Jac, I don't like seeing credits any more than you do, but some of the images available on the Commons can only be used with attribution, and come with a warning like this

Licensing

I didn't make the rules, that's just the way it is. Mandsford 18:58, 17 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:CREDITS is very clear that this should not be done, attribution on the image page is sufficient, as has been done here--Jac16888 Talk 16:48, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Uni-versal Extras, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ♠PMC(talk) 02:56, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

G8 and U2

[edit]

Please not that WP:G8 explicitly excludes user talk pages and WP:U2 explicitly excludes redirects created due to a user being renamed, as such this deletion needs to be reversed, thanks. While not directly applicable in this case, there is also more general reluctance to apply G8 broadly even for user talk subpages at a current discussion WT:CSD#G8 conflict?, where it was pointed at that certain user talk subpages were also routinely treated as G8 exempt, though that is just common practice and not yet codified policy. 2601:5CC:8300:A7F0:44A3:EFF3:245F:594D (talk) 16:42, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
