Re: Photo needed

I'm not super mobile at the moment as I don't have a car. I'm also in the middle of an end of semester struggle in school and will be going home at the end of the semester. The short of it is that I don't think I'll have time to get down to Springfield anytime soon. You might try asking Minh Nguyễn, who's also listed as an Ohio photographer. Minh goes to Stanford, but will be probably be going home to Loveland, Ohio for winter break. Loveland is a few counties closer to Springfield than Oberlin, so he's probably a safer bet.14:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Recent article creation

A tag has been placed on List of famous bearded people, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how List of famous bearded people is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:List of famous bearded people saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions.

Note that the original AfD was for List of bearded people. And sorry for the generic rubberstamp warning. Amarkov ^blah_edits 01:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

I began this article almost on a whim to eliminate a red link on another I'm writing. While I remembered Gen. Thyng from my years in the AF, it was mostly negative in light of the 66 elections. The more I probed, the more I found, but I am the first to admit that the re-organization, images and other help rendered by you made this a very nice article. Thanx very much. --Buckboard 06:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Zanta

Note that Zanta has been restored, and place on AfD for a proper deletion debate. -- Zanimum 14:41, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

DON'T

Dont' use m:OTRS templates as you did on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Zanta_April_2005.JPG , in order to get permission, ask the copyright holder email to permissions@wikimedia.org with the license and the image name, and then someone WITH access to m:OTRSwill come along and tag it. -- Drini 05:40, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

SNAP

multiple recreation by orchestrated BLP-violating troll army out of baltimore. check out this edit summary from twice-recreator of that article. Why? - crz crztalk 15:42, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

SNAP is a fine subject if notable. Wanna write it? I'll be happy to unprotect. - crz crztalk 16:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Beards

I fear you are getting your hopes up if you think that won't be deleted as it stands. There seems to be a pretty clear consensus to delete on the grounds that it is unmaintainable and unencyclopedic. I won't close it myself, but I'd be surprised if it didn't either get deleted from the AfD or go to DRV and get deleted later. I don't really know what to suggest - this is one of those articles that slips between the cracks of policy, it might get a mass of keeps one week and mass of deletes the next depending who hits the page and what their current mood is. Cheers, Yomangani^talk 17:39, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:NOT and WP:OR are relevant here, but you've already argued against these applying. Since they are open to interpretation the admin should close on consensus. "Unmaintainable" is usually accompanied by a suggestion that the list should be handled by a category but I haven't seen that suggested here. Maybe some reference to WP:LIST would help you.

Issue regarding Avenged Sevenfold

Hey,

Thanks for the message on my talk page.

I thought it might be a goo idea to contact you about this page: Untitled Fourth Avenged Sevenfold Album

Is it really necessary? According to the Wikipedia Policy, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and seeing as it is to be released in October next year and not even its title are confirmed, it's a waste of an article at the moment, isn't it?

I'm not sure if users like me can apply a page for deletion, but if you could or contact an Administrator if you find the page ot be superfluous, I'd be grateful.

List of colleges and universities in California

I do apologize for calling your addition spam. That was inappropriate, and it was the result of my making an assumption without paying attention to the link (the college and university lists frequently get hit by spam, and I just assumed that was what your edit was). Anyway, I don't think that the purpose of your edit was very clear. All of the U.S. college and university lists are being revamped (albeit very slowly) to a more consistent format. It is subject to change (just like everything else on Wikipedia), but I didn't have any context to understand your edit. The current structure organizes institutions by their type (private or public; two-year, four-year, or graduate). What exactly is the inaccuracy that you are addressing? As for liability, I am not a lawyer, so you will have to take that to the appropriate people if that really is a concern of yours. —Cswrye 21:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

That organization system makes sense, and it's very objective. I was never very fond of the names of the "two-year" and "four-year" categories myself, but I didn't know of any good alternative names. There's nothing saying that we have to use California's system of classification though, and personally, I'd rather use a more generic organization system that could apply to all colleges and universities in the U.S. (and, ideally, the world, but that might be hoping for too much). If you want to implement the BPPVE system though, go ahead. I won't jump the gun and revert it like I erroneously did before. —Cswrye 18:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Australian ufology

Please help to prune the cruft and original research from this article, it badly needs a scythe taken to it. Thanks, Guy (Help!) 16:42, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Pacific Western University

Wow! That is a really great job! Is it OK for other editors to make a few additions/changes on that scratch page, or would you prefer to discuss it as is? My concern is that once it is live on the article page, it will not be editable until it is unprotected. Some of the proposed changes I have are minor (splitting the intro into two paragraphs), but others are a little more complex, like sourcing the many institution names. There are a few other things we could source, too, but I am really impressed with the amount of work done on it! Jokestress 19:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

2006 Kolkata leather factory fire

Hi, You made a start a little while ago on converting the citations to references. I've just completed the job (in fact I stopped you with an inuse tag because I wanted to learn), but there's one pretty obvious problem. However, I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps you could take a look, and finish off the job? Please? Thanks! Blood red sandman 23:14, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I thought i'd probably done something stupid like that - but hey, I'm on a high right now because I've finaly got my head round the reference system. Thanks for fixing that! Blood red sandman 23:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Bio templates

On articles like Mike grunerud, maybe you might want to wait a bit before creating Talk pages with the bio template? I mean, when the article consists of "So-and-so is a 14-year-old that nobody's ever heard of," the article's not likely to be around long, and adding the Talk page is one more page an admin has to delete. Just a thought. Fan-1967 18:25, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I checked my contribution list and it does not indicate that I made any posts on Mike grunerud or Talk:Mike_grunerud. Also, I thought that the talk page and history pages were deleted with the article page is deleted and didn't realize that I was creating extra work. I'll delay tagging the talk page to give the article page a chance to first be tagged with a speedy delete. Also, I'll skip those tagged with a speedy delete where further directions on the article talk page probably won't result in saving the article. -- Jreferee 18:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

You can't see your contribution because I've already deleted it. I deleted four or five of these talk pages. I also moved one, as you tagged a talk page for an uncapitalized name and it didn't get moved to the proper title with the main article. It's great that you're doing this, but slow down a bit and make sure that the article's gonna last more than a few minutes.  ;) -- Merope 18:50, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

By adding Bio templates, I am hoping to reduce the number of AfDs by giving these new editors help sources that are particular to their article. It looks like I can offset the New page list. I could delay my Bio template tags by putting the offset= to whatever number you think would avoid the present problems, e.g., 50, 100, 150. I'm not sure how long speedy delete articles last. If I only tagged the articles that appear on New pages 51-100, would that solve the problem? -- Jreferee 19:00, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

We-ell, in my opinion, the best solution would be to read each article and determine whether it meets a speedy deletion criteria. Some of the ones you tagged were pretty obviously SD material. I don't really want to endorse any course of action that doesn't involve reading the articles before tagging. -- Merope 19:01, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Each of my bio tags require that I determine whether the person is living or dead and which work group(s), if any, might be relevant to what is discussed in the article. Obviously, I read the article to get that information. Apparently, there already is a schedule of people working the new articles to tag those that need SD tagging. I do not want my actions to interfere with that process as in the incidents you already identified. You are right in that some SD material might get passed the initial SD taggers. Also, there are some SD tagged articles that might be saved by placing bio tags on the talk page and yes I will make learning mistakes. It looks like an offset of 50 articles gives the SD tagging crew enough time to make their SD determination and to act on it. If additional kinks crop up, please feel free to contact me to work it out. -- Jreferee 19:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:DoSscreenshot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:DoSscreenshot.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. BigDT 21:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:WKCMAWayfinding.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:WKCMAWayfinding.jpg. However, 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.

Image:WKCMAWayfinding.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:WKCMAWayfinding.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. —Angr 08:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
