Requesting deletes

Hi LongIslander! Thanks for your message. To request deletion of an article you made in error, you can put this code at the top of the page in question:

{{db-author}}

When you save the page, you'll get a nice pink box which connects the page to the administration category for speedy deletions.

This applies only to article you have created and you have been the only one to edit substantively. Hope this helps! ➨ ЯEDVERS 19:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Keyless Go

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Keyless Go, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. tommylommykins 16:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Themoorings.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Themoorings.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Italo-Greek/Italo-Albanian

Thank you for your interest in the article about the Italo-Greek or Italo-Albanian Church, whatever is the correct title. It's my understanding that the information in the "Catholic Hierarchy" site comes from the Annuario Pontificio, the annual Vatican yearbook. Is there a comparable official source supporting the Italo-Greek name? With best wishes --Chonak (talk) 05:28, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

I notice that the move you performed for this article is not complete yet, inasmuch as the Talk page has not been moved. If you have time, would you please look into that? It's possible that you may need an admin's help to move the Talk page and preserve its history properly. Thanks. --Chonak (talk) 14:36, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Sure thing, I will gladly move. Would you mind directing me on the procedures of contacting an admin. I'm a bit weak on my Wikipedia knowledge ... haven't contributed in a long while. Thanks for the patients ... and again, sorry for any delays or errors.LongIslander (talk) 02:53, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

I performed a regular Move operation requested from the toolbar on the top of the Talk page, and it looks sufficient.

It's important to use the toolbar "Move" command to rename articles -- not just a copy-and-paste operation -- because that preserves the full history of edits, which is significant for licensing reasons. Since a proper move wasn't done for the main article Italo-Greek Catholic Church, I'll ask for admin help to fix that, using the "adminhelp" template. --Chonak (talk) 03:58, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Okay, can one of you please explain what's going on? I honestly can't figure it out. Thanks. Dcoetzee 05:19, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the lack of clarity. LongIslander moved Italo-Albanian Catholic Church to Italo-Greek Catholic Church a few days ago by a copy-and-paste move some days ago. Since then, the article has been edited in its new location. Should the history be moved over? [I think the Talk page is OK; I have moved it by the normal method.] --Chonak (talk) 06:06, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Gotcha. Fixed now. Dcoetzee 07:00, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Moorings, New York

The article The Moorings, New York has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced article about apparently non-notable subdivision.

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. In particular, 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:CIBC World Markets Logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CIBC World Markets Logo.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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:05, 14 February 2023 (UTC)
