File source problem with File:Missbimbo1.png

 
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Missbimbo1.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on 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 17:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ian¹³/t 17:15, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Anthropocene extinction event

An article that you have been involved in editing, Anthropocene extinction event, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anthropocene extinction event. Thank you.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Polargeo (talk) 11:12, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Brand on Geoengineering

Did you see Stewart Brand's recent TED talk? Viriditas (talk) 00:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks I have sent that to the geoengingeering group. Andrewjlockley (talk) 10:24, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

No consensus means DO NOT DELETE

Your interpretation of no consensus as not redirecting or merging goes well against majority opinion. Polargeo (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I never said that. See headline above! Andrewjlockley (talk) 12:22, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

AJL

(I've copied this text from Talk:Holocene extinction event since it seems entirely directed at you. --Explodicle (T/C) 16:16, 12 August 2009 (UTC))

AJL if you want a section on Anthropocene why don't you make one? Don't just hijack the article. Polargeo (talk) 15:58, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

You voted for a merge so you could merge the content properly instead of delete/redirect. Andrewjlockley (talk) 16:21, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Not stalking

Andrew. I just checked your edits to see if you have been doing more extinction stuff. I found your addition on Roman_Britain including intro of rabbits. How can you add a subsection to an article and question your own source at the same time? It takes minutes to check these things and find out that they are wrong. Dumping incorrect info is not helpful. I feel like I might as well not bother saying this to you because it will make little difference to your additions. On another note I have added a bit to Pine Island Glacier outlining Duncan Wingham's recent paper (that was reported by BBC). Polargeo (talk) 01:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

I had a source, it looked OK, but it wasn't a sci. paper so I tagged it. Happy to be checked. Do you have a better one that covers the issue?Andrewjlockley (talk) 19:23, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
Okay I see Dougweller kindly corrected most of the errors. I have now finished the job. Polargeo (talk) 15:19, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, only human! Andrewjlockley (talk) 18:24, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Article Incubator

using the same ref multiple times

Hi Andrew - to use the same ref multiple times you may first write <ref name=X>ref content</ref>. In subsequent usages, you may type <ref name=X></ref> or (I think) <ref name=X />, and that will link that passage to the same footnote the first passage used. In this way, you don't have to have several footnotes for the same article.

I used this to clean up Stratospheric sulfur aerosols (geoengineering) a litte, and (to warn you) actually then moved the article to stratospheric sulfate aerosols (based on my reading). Awickert (talk) 17:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't like using that approach as when the article gets hacked about the references fall to bits. Further, not all aerosols are sulphates, they go through transitional stages. The chemistry is pretty complex actually - completely beyond me (and , it seems, many who advocate the technique). I think you should check carefully whether 'sulphate' covers it all. Sulfur is much more catch-all.Andrewjlockley (talk) 17:37, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Entrepreneurs Bootcamp

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

 

The article Entrepreneurs Bootcamp has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:06, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

list of scientists

If you are around, which you don't appear to be right now you may be interested in Talk:List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming and the recent AfD which is being reviewed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming (3rd nomination) :) Polargeo (talk) 17:20, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. AfD now closed. I'm still 'around', but not actively editing at present. I check my messages. Anything else exciting I should be aware of? Broadly speaking, I don't think it's the 'wiki way' to always hang around. You dive in, build some stuff, bravely defend it whilst it stabilises, then leave for a while. I'm sure I'll be back again in due course. Andrewjlockley (talk) 02:31, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

Re [1]: Your ref does not compute - I suspect its a copy and paste problem. Please fix it. Thanks! --Stephan Schulz (talk) 16:29, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Better, but still broken. Take a look at the actual ref 100 in the ref list. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 16:37, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Coldplay tribute acts

 

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on List of Coldplay tribute acts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

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 article (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. 99.149.84.135 (talk) 15:01, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Ginsberg

 

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Adam Ginsberg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Adam Ginsberg and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Lots42 (talk) 12:16, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not advertising because I have no commercial contract in this regard. I'm just looking to improve coverage of gurus, porn 2.0, online dating and other fields considered too distasteful for the genteel community of wikipedia! :-) Andrewjlockley (talk) 16:52, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Speedy deletion nomination of Karen Franklin

 

A tag has been placed on Karen Franklin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.

If the subject returns your email, feel free to direct her to Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. As matters stand, however, we cannot host content copied directly from a source which asserts a copyright incompatible with CC-BY-SA. - 2/0 (cont.) 01:16, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
How much changed does it have to be?
It's not a matter of how much change needs to be done, but the matter that copyrighted content shouldn't be copied at all without permission. You are free to take information from her website, but not copying word per word (however, this would also create another problem, as information should be referenced to third-party sources, like a news article, rather than content written by the person themselves, like their own websites). Anyways, I have replied to your message on my talk page here. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 02:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing has some advice. I would also like to second the request that the article be recreated relying primarily on sources besides the subject's own bio page. - 2/0 (cont.) 02:40, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Karen franklin

 

A tag has been placed on Karen franklin 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.

Deletein of ADRECS

Hi Andrew, can you tell me why the ADRECS article should be deleted - the Claverton Web site where it sits is an independent site comprised largely of energy experts and professionals. It is at least an interesting idea, and if feasible highly significant.

enginemanEngineman (talk) 21:25, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Because it's not WP:NOTABLE. It's just someone's idea. There's no backing for it, it's not under serious consideration by anyone significant and there are no papers published on it. It might be brilliant, but that's not grounds for inclusion in WP. It seems like a lot of your stuff gets deleted, so why don't you spend some time working out where you're going wrong and change?

AfD nomination of Bill Barker (police officer)

 

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Bill Barker (police officer). We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bill Barker (police officer). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:14, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Cartel Client Review

Hi there Andrewjlockley! I saw that you added a {{hangon}} tag to a page which you created, Cartel Client Review. This is good, but in the process you removed the tag requesting deletion under CSD G10. Even though there is a hangon on the page, the deletion template should remain there. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that the page is going to get deleted. Make sure you edit the talk page of the page nominated for deletion, located at Talk:Cartel Client Review, administrators will look at your reason why the page should remain before they decide what to do.

You are now a Reviewer

 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:46, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

  • Hi! Although the article was moved from the original title, I believe BLP concerns still apply, and we need much more substantial sources showing the actual notability of the subject of the article. I'm not willing to undelete the article, but if you want more opinions on the matter, I suggest you list the article at deletion review. --KFP (contact | edits) 20:56, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of article

Hello. As I said, I believe WP:BLP applies even though the person was not named in the last revision(s) of the article (particularly as it appeared to be about a child). A single blog post (even if it's by a journalist affiliated with a major newspaper) is not enough in this type of case. Also, as I said earlier, you can request undeletion at deletion review. Some somewhat similar Internet memes that concern living people certainly do meet Wikipedia's policies for inclusion but this article does not, I think. --KFP (contact | edits) 23:25, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, in case you didn't see it, the proposed deletion reason was "This article does not seem to be noteworthy. It reads like it sets a legal precedent. When in reality it is about a Press Complaints Commission ruling. The PCC being a regulatory body for British printed newspapers and magazines, and not a court of law. The "Implications of the case" section is nonsense too. The PCC ruling does not have any implications for future privacy cases since the PCC is not a court of law, and does not hear such privacy cases. If someone wanted to stop a newspaper printing some pictures then they would need a court injunction." This was not the reason for the deletion but you should probably take it into consideration when/if requesting an undeletion. Apart from that, the approach of the article to the issue seemed to be ok per se, but more substantial sourcing is definitely needed. --KFP (contact | edits) 23:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I have already asked you to explain what more substantial source there can be that a major national newspaper, and the original PCC documents. For your information, I have already taken legal advice and the case does set a precedent.Andrewjlockley (talk) 01:31, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

  • David Keith directly asked me to edit the article to restore balance. The additions were not a direct lift from any site. The other 'violation' was Tim Lenton, who I also know personally - and he of course did not complain either. I don't see any grounds for this block you are trying to put on my account. Andrewjlockley (talk) 21:37, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
This edit [2] was a direct copy and paste from [3] - are you saying it was just a coincidence? You also used material from [4] in the Michael McCracken article, removed cited text from it and left it with no inline citations and added 'references' which don't seem to reference anything. You cannot copy material from other sources into our articles unless they are clearly copyright free - and simple paraphrasing isn't enough. Your change to David Keith was not actually a revert it was a change that didn't replace the copyvio. Please read WP:CITE by the way and don't just add urls to an article. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 22:39, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
No, I used text Mike sent me, which I then edited, wikified and linked (exactly as I'm supposed to do). Please, just stop this. It's not productive. If you've got an actual problem with the content, please do point it out. Otherwise please leave this 'issue'. Thanks. Andrewjlockley (talk) 23:00, 18 October 2011 (UTC) PS Kindly stop removing text from pages I'm editing - at least until I've finished building the page and thus addressing the issues such as referencing which I'm already well aware of.

Move of Space mirror (anti-global warming measure)

That was a very bold move; could I ask on what basis you determined the title was incorrect, or where you discussed it? As you must have seen, a merger of the article with Space sunshade has been proposed; maybe you could post there, since the merger, if it's decided it's advisable, would be a better solution than the move, and since the criteria for the move presumably bear on the issue of whether it should be merged? --Yngvadottir (talk) 13:04, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you

  The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Thanks for creating the List of proposed geoengineering schemes article back in 2009 and for creating the more recent articles List of geoengineering papers (part 1) and List of geoengineering papers (part 2). Despite the notion that the latter two article may be deleted at AfD due to their style and length, the work that went into them is impressive. Thanks for your contributions to improve the encyclopedia for the public. Northamerica1000(talk) 05:26, 15 August 2012 (UTC)
Thanks! I just formatted and uploaded the recent ones, though.... Andrewjlockley (talk) 08:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mycorrhizal network

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Mycorrhizal network requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Dana al-Salem

 

The article Dana al-Salem has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Speedy deletion nomination of Alan Robock

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Alan Robock 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. reddogsix (talk) 22:02, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Familicide, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Depression (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 12:12, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Karen Franklin

 

The article Karen Franklin has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Placing this on behalf of another user who incorrectly added PROD without substituting it properly. Concern appear to be primarily whether the subject passes WP:GNG or other notability guidelines.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Florence Pugh

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Florence Pugh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Launch48, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.
