TfD nomination of Template:Shueisha edit

Template:Shueisha has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:12, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Collectonian, thanks for bringing this issue to my attention. If you will check out your TfD request, I have commented on it. In fact, now that I have looked into the matter, I'm am quite annoyed by the abuse this template has suffered since its creation, as it no longer is functioning how it was intended. The user who moved it from Shueisha manga magazines to just Shueisha apparently didn't ensure that the template would still function within the articles I originally intended it for, and that it was being used in! This has me quite steamed, as I put good time into the template and its addition to the appropriate articles...now it is a bit overextended and no longer working...
P.S. If you would comment on my idea of splitting the template up into two, (whether that would help or not,) I would be much obliged. I'm reluctant to change the article pages so that the current template shows on them until I hear your thoughts on the matter and the TfD is firmly settled. Personally, although most have said keep, and I don't wish to go against them in what seems like a small sort of matter, I can definitely see your reasons for the nomination. A split would be my fix for that, addressing both your concern and the need to link articles together right on their pages.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:NVCClogo.gif) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:NVCClogo.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. BJBot (talk) 08:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 05:18, 20 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
