On 14 August, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Three Dancers, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Nice article and story for the tagline! Enjoyed reading it. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 06:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Reply from Xn4

Hello, the Greatgavini. You wrote on my talk page "Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy, and have been reverted." I'm always happy to be corrected, but if you could tell me which edit(s) this refers to and in what way it/they did not conform, it would speed up my learning curve. Greetings, Xn4 07:01, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I didn't mean any of your edits are POV! That's just one of the welcome notices available, and thinking that they're all similar, I put that one on your talk page. I see now it does have some extra stuff about NPOV, but I think it's more for warning you rather than for informative purposes. I'll change it to a more suitable one. All the best, -- THE GREAT GAVINI {T|C|#} 07:37, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

If it was not intended, then the correction would certainly be appreciated. Regards, Xn4 07:43, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

It has been corrected. -- THE GREAT GAVINI {T|C|#} 07:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Flanking maneuver

The MoS says:

"

• Articles should use the same dialect throughout.
• If an article's subject has a strong tie to a specific region/dialect, it should use that dialect.
• Where varieties of English differ over a certain word or phrase, try to find an alternative that is common to both.
• If no such words can be agreed upon, and there is no strong tie to a specific dialect, the dialect of the first significant contributor (not a stub) should be used.

"

Since the article name is "Flanking maneuver", we should not include other spellings of the word per point one. I have made a redirect Flanking manoeuver to the article already, so there should be no problem. Point two and point three are invalid; per point four, the article should use the dialect of the first significant contributor, which is me.

The examples you gave are single words, whereas an alternate spelling could be provided. However, "flanking maneuver" is a term, and a variant of only one of the word is best not included. See Aluminium battery for example, where the word Aluminium could be spelled Aluminum.

The sentence I removed is: "spelled flanking manoeuvre in Commonwealth and other countries" Incidentally I find this sentence a bit strange and confusing, which is one of the reasons I removed it. "other countries" can mean any other country in the world - whereas it should be any other country in the English-speaking world only.

I have now linked the word "maneuver" into its article, which included the different spellings - hopefully any confusion from Commonwealth readers will be cleared.

Thanks for the compliment :). Unfortunately I made typos throughout the article. Aran|heru|nar 04:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Courtesy notice of proposed deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of English words of Romanian origin, 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 Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:List of English words of Romanian origin. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Lagringa 23:01, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Firstly, there is no deletion notice on the article, and secondly I've re-added pastrami because the article of the same name states the word is from the language, and Online Etymology Dictionary thinks so too. An unsupported theory (the "definitely not Romanian" one) which contradicts another article in this encyclopaedia is probably not worth going by. -- the GREAT Gavini 15:20, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Someone removed my deletion tag. I've got no problem with adding pastrami. The information that was there that said it wasn't from Romanian looked pretty detailed and convincing. I still question whether one word justifies a whole article on the topic, and I'm not too optimistic about finding more. Lagringa 18:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sarie.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sarie.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Screaming_Trees_and_Donna_Dresch.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Screaming_Trees_and_Donna_Dresch.gif. 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.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Le Tigre album.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Le Tigre album.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 03:45, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Removal of category from your userpage

Hi. In enacting consensus from User categories for discussion, I have removed the category Category:Wikipedians interested in books from your userpage. It was determined in that deletion debate that this category should be depopulated of individuals, but kept as a parent category. If you wish to display a category reflecting your interest in books, please consider one of the specific sub-categories under its umbrella. Thanks, and please excuse the necessary editing of your user page! ----Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Lobster telephone.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Lobster telephone.jpg. 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.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 12:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Numb.album.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Numb.album.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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 description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Fair use rationale for Image:Black Candy.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Black Candy.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Greatgavini! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 721 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Anthony Higgins (actor) - Find sources: "Anthony Higgins (actor)" – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images
2. Elissa Steamer - Find sources: "Elissa Steamer" – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images

Speedy deletion nomination of Soledad Puértolas

A tag has been placed on Soledad Puértolas 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 person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -Zeus-^u|c 23:33, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
