You're Welcome

Mediawiki:Bad image list is an extremely valuable resource. I'm glad we could agree on how it should be used. Canderson7 ^(talk) 03:33, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

editing

hi merovingian,

consider the article on "model theory". There are section headings which someone left that are interesting for me to fill up. However, the discussion on that page does not directly talk about what should go into these sections. Can I just take the liberty to fill in these sections at my discretion? something i did was to search related key words to see what has already been written on other articles related to "model theory".

another thing. i was editing the article on "elementary substructure". i couldn't really diferrentiate between the point to which i was rephrasing for clarity or it is just a matter of different style from the previous writer. i'm sure the previous writer would have thought his work was good, so i wouldn't want to change some of the notation or expresion without good reason.

hope to hear from you!

more about wikipedia

Have you any idea how wikimania is like? have you been there? also, are there paid jobs for wikipedia? who maintains the servers? I've noticed the community of editors is very friendly and warm; feeling at home here!--DesolateReality 01:38, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

page got reverted

hi. recently, i got my first page reverted by another editor. upon reading the comments from the other editor, i found that his comments indeed made sense. on an intellectual level, i agree that a revert should be made but i cannot help myself from feeling a little upset. on the whole, my edits were not of good quality, though i still feel that the thrust and main objective of my intentions should still be carried out (perhaps in a more encyclopedic style) in the long term. yup, i have read the wikipedia help pages on not to take this kind of thing personally, if you were wondering. sigh... i'm momentarily avoiding editing articles on topics related to that particular article, which i don't think is a very good course of action. any advice? --DesolateReality 02:21, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

backing off

yup. i did write formally in the article talk page as well as informally to the user's talk page. though it might be painful to have my page reverted, i understood the concerns of that user. ultimately it was good advice that actually helps in my writing of future articles. --DesolateReality 16:30, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

translation and plagarism

hello! do you know about translation? it is legal to take material written on wikipedias in other languages and directly translate into English without rephrasing? i've trying to translation a bunch of articles related to Chinese music, eg yangqin.--DesolateReality 20:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Spam in Calorad

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Calorad, by Argyriou (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Calorad is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Calorad, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Calorad itself.

Hi there!

First off, respect! Alas, being a Musician and a promoter is hard enough, then trying to post the right names of bands and their real names on Wiki is very difficult! I have had D-Ryth removed, and i have had GMS, or rather the bio's of the later removed. these all are real artists and work hard to make nice music. Please help me get this up on wiki! cheers, Satish —Preceding unsigned comment added by Satishirtz (talk • contribs)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Erik Rug, has been listed by me for deletion.

Lolicon RfC

Thanks for participating in the RfC.

You opened your statement with a singular "No", but the dispute topic contains two questions (the first being "Does the current image belong in the article?") and I'm thinking you didn't mean no to both of them. Feel free to fix this if it is not what you intended. / edgarde 23:46, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:FateTiger_Colosseum_logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FateTiger_Colosseum_logo.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 02:48, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:FateTiger_Colosseum_screenshot.jpg

I have tagged Image:FateTiger_Colosseum_screenshot.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 02:49, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Steve Willcott

A tag has been placed on Steve Willcott, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. GreenJoe 20:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
