Five Pillars of Wikipedia

Float around for awhile until you find something that tickles your fancy. One easy way to do this is to hit the random page button in the navigation bar to the left. There are also many great committees and groups that focus on particular jobs. My personal favorite stomping grounds are Wikipedia:Translation into English and Wikipedia:Cleanup for sloppy articles. Finally, the Wikimedia Foundation has several other wiki projects that you might enjoy.

There are a few crucial points to keep in mind when editing. Be civil with users, strive to maintain a neutral point of view, verify your information, and show good etiquette like signing your comments with four tildes like this: ~~~~ If you have any more questions, always feel free to ask me anything on my talk page or ask the true experts at Wikipedia:Help desk. Again, welcome! -- Draeco 21:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Cambio en su Userpage

Quihubo Pascaweb. Le hice un cambio a su pagina porque las cajas salian por detras de las de abajo y no se veian bien. Estas que puse bajan completas y dejan de ver la informacion completa. Me tome el atrevimiento de usar la bandera de Colombia como fondo, pero si no le gusta aviseme y le pongo los colores que ud tenia o si gusta cambielos ud mismo.

Bogota's Photos

Hi Pasca. Please check the pictures you include in the Colombian articles. If the pictures have not been taken by yourself or do not have a free license then an administrator will remove them in less than one month. For this reason is better to put an effort in obtaining original photos.--tequendamia 07:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Tequendamia, yes I've taken the pictures myself ... so I suppose I own the proper rights. Kidding .. I guess I didn't asign the proper license to the picture! --- Pascaweb ---

Corficolombiana

I stumbled across the article, which was only a stub...I'd heard it mentioned on the news a few years ago, so I decided to expand it. All the research I found was in Spanish (two news articles, and the websites for the two merged companies), so I translated (I hope properly, although I'm relatively confident that I did) it into English.

Did I miss something in the article, does it need improvement? What do you think of it over-all? Gracias, y perdona me, por favor, de no escribir esto in español, pero no escribo en lo a menudo (pero leo Español cada dia -- El Mundo y El Periódico) •Jim62sch• 21:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Your spanish is very good and the information is reliable ... I just wondered why a stranger would like to write on this subject. Maybe as a newcomer myself was a surprise to see the enhanced article. --- Pascaweb ---

Consulta: Wikimedia Colombia

Quihubo, vea lo que me dejaron en mi página de discusión, de pronto le interesa:

Desde hace un tiempo he venido cabilando con la idea de fundar un capítulo Colombiano de la Wikimedia Foundation, y para esto necesito de los comentarios y de la ayuda de los posibles interesados.

La idea del capítulo es formar una organización sin ánimo de lucro dentro de la legislación colombiana. Muy probablemente una Fundación sea el tipo de entidad más acorde a los objetivos planteados.

La invitación es para inscribir su nombre en la página de la propuesta sin ningún compromiso. También recibo comenentarios allá o en mi página de discusión sobre cualquier inquietud que tenga lugar.

En la página de la propuesta también se podrá encontrar un borrador de los posibles estatutos de la Fundación, los objetivos planteados, etc. y está abierta a cualquier tipo de contribuciones e inquietudes. Las ideas incluyen desde la canalización de fondos para la Wikimedia Foundation (los found raisings) hasta varios proyectos de promoción del conocimiento libre en Colombia (tanto por medio de los proyectos de Wikimedia, como por otros proyectos basados o no en tecnologías Wiki). Sin duda un objetivo interesante será la promoción de las lenguas indígenas colombianas con el objetivo adicional de empoderar a las culturas que las hablan de herramientas informáticas que no sean percibidas como alienantes.

Si conoce de algún otro colombiano que pueda estar interesado, no sólo wikipedistas o colaboradores de Wikimedia, agradezco la difución de este mensaje.

Gracias por la atención.

Me cuenta pues,

Come on

Please don't call other editors names. As I've already said on Talk:McRepublic, if you want me to, I'll undelete and take it to Afd so we get more opinions. Is that what you want? What I will not do is take your bait and get into a cultural/political fight - that's not what Wikipedia is for. Friday (talk) 18:28, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, I agree with that and I apologize for calling you that, it's just I had a bad day yesterday and it's kind of frustrating seeing what you think is important to expose is deleted. Besides, it's the first time that happens to me in Wikipedia. I really let to you the option to undelete it or not. By the way I eliminated the reference to United States in the final draft because the use of this word it is not limited to it. In the future I'll take care of include some references or examples. Thanks for your time .... Pascaweb

Orphaned fair use image (Image:ASERNA.JPG)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:ASERNA.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Kevin 10:50, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

I have removed this image from the Andrea Serna article because it contained no content about the magazine, and therefore does not qualify as fair use. Kevin 12:55, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Would you clarify your fair use rationale for this image? I see that you have replaced it in the article, without updating the fair use rationale on the image page. Kevin 10:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Can Wikipedia use it if they published the cover in a public newspaper website? --- User:Pascaweb

The publisher doesn't give up their copyright by publishing to a public website. The only way to use the image is if the article has some content about either the cover image itself, or about the article within. Using it for illustration or decoration is not considered fair use (at least not by Wikipedia). If you have lots of spare time you could read through WP:FU, but it can be confusing st times. The best solution might be to try and obtain a free use image from her publicist/agent. Thanks for your reply. Kevin 22:01, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:PuertoBoyacaStreet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PuertoBoyacaStreet.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:06, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PBAerealView.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:PBAerealView.JPG. The image description 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images 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.

Muchas gracias!

--Ricardoramirezj 13:07, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Hola Ricardo, con gusto le puedo ayudar en cuanto tenga algo de tiempo , pero como nada es gratis en esta vida, eso sí a cambio de que me cuente cosas interesantes de Cúcuta, la cual la verdad no conozco , algun sitio turístico para visitar o algo asi. Saludos.... Pascaweb

Turismo en Cúcuta

Bueno.. le cuento que Cúcuta tiene monumentos históricos muy importantes. Entre los que se encuentran la Casa de Francisco de Paula Santander, el Templo Histórico donde se firmó la Constitución de la Gran Colombia y la Casa de la Bagatela donde funcionó el Poder Legislativo en 1821.

También puede visitar el monumento a la Batalla de Cúcuta.

Por otro lado la ciudad cuenta con varios centros comerciales entre los que se destacan dos: UNICENTRO y Ventura Plaza (click aquí para ver unaa foto).

Suerte....

San Alejo, band

Please read WP:MUSIC to see the criteria needed for musical articles. Then review WP:CSD A7 to see the criteria used to delete the above entry. Please do not recreate it in the same form as before, if it meets WP:MUSIC, then the article needs to describe that specifically in an encyclopedic manner. - CHAIRBOY (☎) 16:12, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Minor edits

Hi Pascaweb. Thanks for your contributions. I noticed that in this recent edit you marked the edit as "minor". According to the guidelines as I understand them, a minor edit affects only formatting, punctuation, typo reduction or spelling correction. Since this edit added content, it would not be considered minor. I think your change is a fine addition, but isn't "minor."

Perhaps you might consider changing your default preferences under "editing": Mark all edits minor by default. Thanks for the good work. — EncMstr 17:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks User:Pascaweb

Colombian National Coffee Park

You uploaded some photos to this article that acording to your Image subpage was taken by you. However you tagged the image as only beeing allowed for non-commercial use. This is however not a license that can be used on Wikipedia since it is not a free content license. These images will soon be deleted unless you agree to use a different license, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for a list of suitable licenses to pick from. It's up to you nautraly, just know that if you won't allow commercial use of your contributions they can't be used on Wikipedia. --Sherool (talk) 08:24, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Greetings

Thank you for your recent contributions to one of Wikipedia's Uruguay-related articles. Given the interest you've expressed by your edits, have you considered joining the Uruguay WikiProject? It's a group dedicated to improving the overall quality of all Uruguay-related articles.

If you have any questions, see the help pages, ask at the Uruguay project talk page, or feel free to ask me on my talk page.Wesborland 12:52, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the invitation. Although I can collaborate with few things and little time , I'm glad at doing it. I have some material to upload in the future. Pascaweb 10:52, 2 November 2006

Copyrights unclear, please help

Hi, you have uploaded Image:Manizales view.jpg and a colleague have copied it to Bulgarian Wikipedia. However there are issues with the copyright of the picture which need to be cleaned up: you have specified that the image is copyrigthed but have not specified who is the copyright onwer. Regardless whether it is you or someone else, it has to be indicated on the page. At least this is how I understand the copyright but other people (incl. you) might disagree with me. Greetings, Goldie (tell me) 19:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Well I took the image from a Manizales fan page whose content is free, but I don't know the owner name. I think this is fair use but maybe I´m wrong. Good day (or night?) there in Bulgaria ... by the way, it is dificult to learn Bulgarian from Spanish or English? Pascaweb 2006-11-10 16:22 PM

To be honest - I don't know. I've seen a sentence once: "Why they say it so hard to learn English, I've learned it a t the age of 2." ;) Typically a native speaker is a good source for other type of information. The phonetics might be a problem in part but ought to be a not so big problem. The grammar is rather relaxed and is having some similarities with English (I know nothing about Spanish). In the so called Institute for Foreign Students people can do it in about a year to a level good enough to study at the university, including Spanish-speakers.

And yes, it was night when you wrote the answer - Bulgaria is UTC+2, so we have 7 hours difference. BTW: I've just looked at the city's page and was astonished to see that the city's flag is just the same as the Bulgarian national flag (the green colour on our flag is actually lighter)! -- Goldie (tell me) 16:21, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the comments on your language I really like to learn about other cultures. How do you say hello and goodbye in Hungarian? ... anytime you want to learn about Spanish or about Colombia just call me ... Have a good day goldie Pascaweb 2006-11-21 11:37 AM (UTC -5)

Let me correct you - Bulgaria and Hungaria are not even having a common border ;-)) Instead of repeating what is how in Bulgarian, I can direct you to an incomplete article, started by me a long long time ago, at the beginning of my wikicareer. If something is missing there I may update it.

I've found the picture on a governmental site, does this make it public domain or the copyright is still held by the author.

As per Colombian information, I would be grateful if you can point me to anything nice about your country (in English). The negative campaign led by U.S. towards you is way too strong. -- Goldie (tell me) 17:00, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the mistake ... maybe due to the lack of info and good news we have here in Colombia about Bulgaria (or even from Sofia) and the other balkan countries. About Colombia I can tell you it is not just a Caribbean country, it's more than that. it's more that just coffee or drugs .. more than that. It's really a nice place to live in (BTW, if it means something to anyone our people is in 2nd place in the list of happiest people). Some say that the most beautiful thing of Colombia is the people. But you have to come and see it for yourself. Regarding the picture, I think is fair to use it since the city is trying to publicit its region. Furthermore is for educative purposes.

Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Pasca's coat of arms.gif, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 08:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Cabaret colombia.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cabaret colombia.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Vickyhernandez1.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Vickyhernandez1.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 after seven 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 05:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Manizales.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Manizales.jpg. I noticed that 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 03:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 88.134.232.95 03:26, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:DSC01345.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, this is in fact not the case[1][2]. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. See our non-free content guidelines for more more information.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you. B 01:42, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:DSC01345.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:DSC01345.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 20:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Cfclogo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Cfclogo.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 23:31, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Gonzalo Jimenez Memorial.JPG

Thank you for uploading File:Gonzalo Jimenez Memorial.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Image Screening Bot (talk) 23:32, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:MuseoPasca.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:MuseoPasca.jpg. I noticed that 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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 04:16, 27 December 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 04:16, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being minor in the usual way.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. With the script in place, you can continue with this functionality indefinitely (its use is governed by WP:MINOR). If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 19:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Juliogaravito.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Juliogaravito.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:30, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:PBAerealView.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:PBAerealView.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:01, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Poor's Blanket

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 Poor's Blanket 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 company, corporation or organization that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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) 03:01, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
