DESJARDINS Ok Vincent, lets do a deal. You are right about the lack of info. So let's you and me improve it.

DESJARDINS Subject: rv, not relevant enough to be on WP

Hello Vincent,

I disagree with your decision to erase the information about the Young Officer internship program. Desjardins is the first financial institution in the world to establish such program. I just came back from a tour in Europe where we visited 3 of France's biggest coop: Crédit Mutuel, Crédit Agricole and Banque Populaire. They were all very impressed with Desjardin's program and where inspired to do the same.

Corporate Gouvernance, and programs is what defines an organization.

Thank you!

[edit]

Just reading some of the FairTrade and other important stuff. Thanks for your contributions in this area.!!

Thought you might want to give me your perspective on this idea I posted in the Proposal section of Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28proposals%29#Unique_Wiki_Labeling_on_.2AAll.2A_Consumer_Products_and_Ads

What do you think?

your comments on PG Tips/Unilever

[edit]

Vincent1, you state 'The move has received mixed reviews: Rainforest Alliance certification, dubbed "Fairtrade lite" by various observers and news sources, is questioned in the industry[3] and was described in January 2005 by Oxford University professor Alex Nicholls as "an easy option for companies looking for a “flash in the pan at a cheap price”.[4]'

I can find no evidence that Unilever/PG tips'move received mixed reviews. please provide those. a 2 year old quote regarding the Rainforest Alliance cannot be seen to apply to a move that happend in May 2007. accordingly, i have removed your edits The criticism of Rainforest Alliance exist but is extensively covered at their page.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Blackgoldmovie.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Blackgoldmovie.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:35, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:DesjardinsLogo.gif)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:DesjardinsLogo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Replaceable fair use Image:Fairtradeuk.jpg

[edit]
Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Fairtradeuk.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:56, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Fair use rationale for Image:Agreatergift.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Agreatergift.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:12, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Alterecologo.gif}

[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:Alterecologo.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Fair trade GA Sweeps Review: On Hold

[edit]

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria and I'm specifically going over all of the "Culture and Society" articles. I have reviewed Fair trade and believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I have left this message on your talk page since you have significantly edited the article (based on using this article history tool). Please consider helping address the several points that I listed on the talk page of the article, which shouldn't take too long to fix with the assistance of multiple editors. I have also left messages on the talk pages of a few other editors and several related WikiProjects to spread the workload around some. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 20:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I had to delist it, but the issues were too many to remain a GA. However, if you do address the issues, please contact me on my talk page when you're finished, and I'll re-review it again so you can bypass the month wait at GAN. Let me know if you have any questions and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 00:56, 5 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:SERRV.gif)

[edit]

You've uploaded File:SERRV.gif, and indicated that it's used under Wikipedia's rules for non-free images. However, it's not presently used in any articles. Wikipedia policy requires that non-free images be either used or deleted, so if this image isn't used in an article in the next week, it will be deleted.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:46, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair trade

[edit]

I see you have done a lot of work on fair trade. Please join the conversation on the talk page to discuss recent edits.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:01, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I have said before. Please discuss on the talk page. The lead is supposed to summarize the article. See WP:LEAD If you have better references please I would be happy to see them. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:21, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Many people consider what proportion of the extra premium paid ending up with the producer important. I do not understand the argument that it is somehow not important? Would it be important if the amount was 50%? Anyway please come to the talk page and discuss it. Rather than removing referenced material. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:05, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
So removing referenced statements make it more POV?Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:09, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It depends what kind of referenced statements - you can reference ANYTHING you want, but if you don't say who says it (and if that person isn't credible) or if you quote the person poorly, yes there is a NPOV issue. Let's discuss each of the statements I removed if you want.Vincentl (talk) 02:11, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The references are from the BBC and the Guardian for this type of article. Both of these are sufficiently credible to site. Now the quotes drawn from fair trades website are not usually allowed as they have a WP:COI. One usually basis things are third party analysis. I however am not this much of a stickler being more of a wiki inclusionist. Please bring further discussion to the talk page. Cheers.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 02:19, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Which quotes from Fair Trade orgs are you talking about? Vincentl (talk) 02:21, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The issue is not so much the sources (BBC and Guardian) but the way the quotes are written. These are not objective enough... you can't write "some feel" but you have to be more specific... who says that? In what context?Vincentl (talk) 02:24, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(undent) Have made some changes. Anyway until tomorrow. Merry X-mas.Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 03:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International

[edit]

I would submit this for deletion. It does not say anything not covered at length in the dozen or so Fairtrade and Fair Trade pages. And this is an enormous number of pages for an organization that does not even claim to deliver more than a few million in charity.

BUT, I would suggest putting in a page for History of Fair Trade. The pages all seem to have enormously long, turgid, histories near the beginning. These are boring and it is doubtful whether anyone will read through them to get to the meat of the article. Which may well be why they are there. There is a reluctance to put in simple facts on what Fair Trade and Fairtrade actually do and do not do: instead there are thousands of words on intentions, history, etc. with no factual basis. So it would be good to replace the history sections with a simple link. Best wishesAidWorker (talk) 15:52, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The article Jean-Pierre Boris has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP since its creation in 2006. research fails to produce sufficient sources to satisfy WP:BLP.

While all constructive 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.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Agronomes et Vétérinaires sans frontières is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Agronomes et Vétérinaires sans frontières until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DferDaisy (talk) 23:48, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Flostructure.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Flostructure.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. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
