South Pars / North Dome

edit

A tag has been placed on South Pars / North Dome, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Image Copyright problem

Hi Alireza824!
We thank you for uploading Image:SP.JPG, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Boldface

edit

Boldface from Wikipedia:Manual of Style (text formatting)

In the first paragraph of an article, put proper names and common terms for the article topic (including any synonyms and acronyms) in boldface. Do this only once for each case (e.g. avoid using boldface for both the article title in the lead section and the caption of the lead image). It is technically possible to bold Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, but this should be avoided; the purpose of the bolding is to separate the article name from ordinary text, and the change of alphabets does this by itself. If the article topic does not have a commonly accepted name, but is merely descriptive, the title does not need to appear in the first sentence, and is not bolded if it does.

Wikipedia automatically puts headings (section titles) in boldface. Bolded headings, though possible, will appear especially bold, and are almost never appropriate.

Use italics, not boldface, for emphasis in article text. Use boldface in the remainder of the article only for a few special uses:

  • Table headers
  • Definition lists (example: David E. Kelley)
  • Volume numbers of journal articles, in some bibliographic formats
  • Sub-topic redirects (where a sub-topic is a redirect to substantive discussion in a main article), the sub-topic should be boldfaced on first appearance in the target article or section, to indicate that it is an alternate title or sub-title

Re-Directs

edit

Just a quick note about Wikilinki Re-Directs. It is a policy here to try and eliminate re-directs. So, if you want a Wikilinki to say something else, you use the "pipe" "|" command and put the direct Wikilink before the pipe and the alternate text after the pipe, example:

You type:

[[Organized crime|the mob]]

Which appears:

the mob

Does that help? If you add new Wikilinki's test them to make sure that they don't re-direct and use the pipe that is not for smoking. ~ WikiDon (talk) 23:17, 27 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Indonesian Crude Price

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Indonesian Crude Price requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader.

Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Wheelchair Epidemic (talk) 08:09, 5 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Iran LNG

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Iran LNG 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 or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

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. -Axmann8 (Talk) 08:53, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Deletion of References section

edit

Please don't edit articles simply to delete the References section as you did with article for Tractor Sazi F.C.. I don't understand the motivation behind doing it. It seems like it was deliberate rather than an accident as you did it in two steps. NebraskaDontAsk (talk) 18:42, 24 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Outdoor Haft-Sin table in Tehran.JPG.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. 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, as described in section F4 of the 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 19:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC). 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. --TheImaCow (talk) 19:01, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
