Hi there. I have a problem, and I'm hoping you can help me with it. The image File:Kmfdm jules starlite.jpg that you uploaded a few years ago doesn't quite have a clear explanation that it is released into the public domain. Are you Mike Kendrick, the photographer who actually took the photo? I need to clear up its usage permissions for the KMFDM article, which I'm trying to promote to featured status. Thanks for any help or information you can provide. —Torchiest talkedits 00:23, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
- Ok... You would probably need to find out the original uploader who uploaded it to English Wikipedia. Since the original file is now deleted I guess you have to be an admin to check the history of it. I hope this helps. // Liftarn (talk)
Speedy deletion nomination of Candysuck
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 Candysuck 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 band or musician, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ukexpat (talk) 02:27, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Road to nowhere
Please see MOS:DAB, especially the first paragraph. See also WP:Disambiguation dos and don'ts. Note that the target article (the page that the entry links to) must contain meaningful information about the term (e.g. "Road to nowhere") being disambiguated. Thanks. 86.173.125.104 (talk) 19:15, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
- I don't see you deleting any of the other entries... // Liftarn (talk)

The article Hanno Essén has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Appears to fail WP:PROF.
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. RayTalk 03:10, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

File:Odpusage.png needs authorship information.
The media file you uploaded as File:Odpusage.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.
It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.
Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).
If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which:{{subst:usernameexpand|Liftarn/Archive 9}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or the {{own}} template..
If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:46, 18 May 2011 (UTC)Orphaned non-free image File:Sdsticker.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sdsticker.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:36, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Counterjihad
I'm afraid that I'm staying away from articles and arguments for the time being, but I nevertheless I wanted to say thanks for your attempts to prevent some of the really blatant "point-of-view and pretending not to be" manipulation of verifiable truth that's going on at the Counterjihad article. Good for you! Opbeith (talk) 19:50, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Robert Spencer (author). Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Truthsort (talk) 18:01, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
The article Toshihiko Horiyama has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Bgwhite (talk) 23:39, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Stranglers Submission
I read your comment about "hypochondriac tombstone," and, I think - from an English Lit POV - that the phrase refers to the Swede's habit of subliminally writing about what a person died of, on the tombstone. It's poetry! Hope that helps. (92.25.56.44 (talk) 15:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC))

edit article "Cold Fusion" Refefences to Pathological Science Should Be Moved to Historical Footnotes
To improve the article:
1) Wiki needs to view it as science.
2) Wiki needs to recognize which scientific journals are utilized and sourced by scientists in this field of physics.
I predict a tremendous increase in the readability of the article.
Query to the Scientific Community: To the Directors of Physics Departments,
LENR - Low Energy Nuclear Reaction and Widom Larson Theory, aka Condensed Matter Nuclear or Lattice Enabled Nuclear; historically misnamed "Cold Fusion"
1) Is this science or pathological science?
2) Do you offer a class in this discipline? If so, please provide information.
3) Are you developing a curriculum of this science? If so, when will you offer it?
4) What peer review journals do you utilize or source in this field?
Liftarn, P>S> 1) Any suggestions or criticisms before I move forward with this? 2) Is this direction of query able to yield opinions the Wikipedia forum on Cold Fusion may value?

I was surprised you added {{reqphoto}} to Talk:Burj Khalifa. The article has enough and the lack of Freedom of Panorama in UAE restricts those we can use to fair-use. I remove the template, but did you have a specific reason for adding the request? Astronaut (talk) 15:52, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
3RR warning
Your recent editing history at Counterjihad shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.
If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Speedy deletion nomination of Мистер Твистер
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 Мистер Твистер requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article consists of a dictionary definition or other article that has been transwikied to another project and the author information recorded.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Removing Speedy at Мистер Твистер
Hi Liftarn, you recently removed a deletion tag from Мистер Твистер. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is. As you are involved, and therefore potentially biased, you should refrain from doing this yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 09:23, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
Russian in Eng Wiki?
Hello
I see you have written a Russian Article in English Wikipedia.It is no use in writing such article in English Wikipedia as nobody can search for it nor can understand it.Please translate it or else I will surely place the tag again Thanks Srikar Kashyap (talk) 09:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- I have just added translation tags as of now.If you wont translate the article soon, I would have to place the speedy deletion tag again.I wont remove it then. Thanks Srikar Kashyap (talk) 10:13, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
- As you write in English I assume you do understand English and it would not be far fetched to assume that you actually can tell the difference between English and Russian. For instance English is usually written using the Latin alphabet and Russian is usually written using the Cyrillic alphabet. Please view the article and notice that it a) is written in the Latian alphabet (with the exception of names) and b) the article is written in English. // Liftarn (talk)

Category:Antisemitism
Hi Liftarn
I have closed your nomination at WP:CFD to merge Category:Antisemitism to Category:Anti-Judaism.
I am neutral on the merits of the proposal, but if you want to open a discussion it is important to do so in a way which does not lead to a procedural row. I am sure that you acted in good faith, but there were several problems with the nomination which would have caused a lot of problems if it had proceeded.
- The convention is for the first line of the nomination to simply state the action proposed, without any reasoning. That allows other editors to quickly see what is proposed, before examining why it is proposed
- The convention is that the next line of the nomination is an explanation by the nominator of the reasons why they think that action should be taken, followed by their sig.
If that is done, then other editors can see at a glance what is proposed, why it is proposed, and who is proposing it. However, all you had was supporting quotes, without any explanation in your own words, and with out even your [WP:SIG]]. This obscured that what, why and who of the nomination, and misled editors into believing that the nomination was made by someone else.
As I noted in my closing remarks, you should feel free to make a new nomination which avoids these problems. If you'd like help in putting it together, I'd be happy to assist. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:31, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

It would help a lot if you would bother to read the contents you have restored repeatedly. Right now you insert the very same contents which are already included in the continuous text and in the lead. In other words, you add sourced material which is already present two times in the article for a third time. Care to stop this disruptive behaviour? Gun Powder Ma (talk) 13:32, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

It might amuse you to know that finally your 2007 edit on the above page (your reqphoto banner) has been removed by me, because at last I've been able to get around to visiting York and taking the required photo in response to your request. Enjoy! --Storye book (talk) 14:34, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Jamie Irie, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Apex (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi Liftarn. I've been puzzled by the mistakes in the above article. I see that some of them date back to the time when the article was first drafted. I also see that the references provided have now disintegrated through, I suppose, link-rot. One does remain but it has internal conflicts. I think the big thing that is wrong with the article is that it begins by apparently muddling Ambi-Budd with Edward G Budd Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia.
You seem to be the most knowledgeable editor about this business so I thought you might like to sort it out. Can't do it myself. While I can see it is wrong as it stands I don't know enough to be sure to fix it correctly. Regards, Eddaido (talk) 22:05, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Signing posts on talk pages
Hi Liftarn - I've noticed that in your recent talk page posts, you've been signing each message with your name only, not the name and date that is the usual. Dated comments are useful both so that other editors can see (at a glance, and without having to analyze the page history) when you made your comments, and also so that various and sundry bots which maintain and automatically archive talk pages will work properly. The usual way to sign a comment is with four tildes: ~~~~. If you inadvertently leave one off (just three tildes: ~~~) then it produces an undated signature; I'm guessing that's what's happening for you. WP:TILDE has all the gory details. Thanks!

edit summary and ref format
Hi, if you could be so kind, can you toss in a small edit summary when you edit? I have nothing against your edit on the PEGIDA page which I contribute to too, but an edit summary would facilitate working through my watch list a lot. It's a simple form of paying respect to others...
Also, realizing that you are not a new editor I hate to say it, but your reference format just doesnt cut it (rawlink +title)!--Wuerzele (talk) 16:55, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
References
We at Wikipedia love evidence-based medicine. Please cite high-quality reliable sources. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations. A list of resources to help edit such articles can be found here. The edit box has a build in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. WP:MEDHOW walks through editing step by step. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 23:19, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Circumcision shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Thanks for uploading File:Catabyss.png. 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 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).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
