Anne-Marie Péladeau edit

Anne-Marie Péladeau has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this person might not be notable enough for an article. Please review Wikipedia:Notability (people) for the relevant guidelines. If you can improve the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the "prod" template, the article may be deleted without further discussion. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but if an editor is still not satisfied that it meets Wikipedia guidelines, it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Eksi Sozluk edit

A tag has been placed on Eksi Sozluk, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how Eksi Sozluk is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:Eksi Sozluk 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. Eli Falk 09:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

RE:Crimea edit

No, I use Mozilla Firefox, and I didn't see any overlapping.. Now there is just a big white space between the text and the infobox. Perhaps we should just remove the whole

thing, perhaps then it will be alright for all.. —dima/talk/ 20:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • ...Yes you did reintroduce the overlapping. I can't use your font. It's way too small for me. So with my font it's seriously overlapping.
Curious; I haven't heard of or seen this kind of situation reported before. My circumstance is the same as reported by dima above, so I wonder if other folk are also now seeing a significant gap between the text and infobox. Do you find this problem elsewhere in Wikipedia, e.g. on other pages using the same or similar infoboxes (articles on countries, etc)...?  Thanks for your message, David Kernow (talk) 22:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Siberian artificial language edit

An editor has nominated Siberian artificial language, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. 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 "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 by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Siberian artificial language and 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. Thank you. 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.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sourtimes, by 88.106.3.117, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

AfD Nomination: 2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that 2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2007 Taliban-seized South Korean hostage crisis. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 17:02, 13 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yunnan flag edit

Hi. I've been looking at the image Image:Yunnan.gif, which you originally uploaded. It is presently orphaned, and the discussion at Talk:Yunnan#Flag of Yunnan suggests that its description text is inaccurate, or at least incomplete. I've also been trying to follow up on the image's public domain status, but I can't verify that. You indicated that it was copied from "Flagpost", but neither flagpost.net nor flagpost.com seem to be the source. (Flagpost.net just offers a single image with some poetry, flagpost.com seems to be just some commercial schlock sitting on a domain.) I would like to (a) find some text to copy clearly indicating the image's free-use status, (b) insert some informative text, and (c) move the image to the Commons (but only if a and b are done first). Failing all of that, I'm considering nominating the image for deletion. Can you help out with any information, leads, or perspective? Ipoellet (talk) 03:13, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the corrected referral to http://flagspot.net/flags/. I went there to verify that they had released the Yunnan image into the public domain. What I found was that in fact they did not, and that the use conditions they place on their content do not meet the Wikipedia criteria for free content. Some nonfree images are still permitted on Wikipedia, but Image:Yunnan.gif also does not meet the Wikipedia criteria for fair use. For these reasons, and because the image is not used in any article, I will be nominating it for speedy deletion. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia, and I'm looking to your future help making this a great encyclopedia! Ipoellet (talk) 05:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Arcoa, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Name of Turkey edit

I don't think it's a wise decision to paste the entire article from Name of Turkey to History of the Turkish People. Much of the original article of Name of Turkey actually does not talk about the "Turks" as an ethnic group, but about the NAMES that had been historically conferred on the land we now call "Turkey". I totally disagree with putting all this information under "History of the Turkish People". It is rather, about the land, or country, not about the people. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bestlyriccollection (talkcontribs) 06:10, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please, this revert is not about if the material you paste is correct or wrong. It is about matching the intention of the title and the content. Look at the article "Name of Istanbul." The article should only include "etymology of the word TURKEY", same as the name of Istanbul. You are performing WP:OR by including unrelated content in the article. If this continues, you will receive opposition, which might end up removal of the article. It is better if you tell your story in its correct place, which fits to history of Turkish people. Please, check the article history of Turkish people and you will see that that content is the correct article what you want to say. This article is about etymology, not history. TarikAkin (talk) 15:50, 23 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm very happy you are contributing wikipedia. The content you are adding has an already developed initial content. You valuable additions are welcome under History of the Turkish people. Please take a little time and look at that page. The title you choose to add your contributions are not appropriate. Your current edits under "names of Turkey" is constituted as WP:OR. I'm happy to help you if you ask my help. --TarikAkin (talk) 00:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply
To summarize: You want to create an article about "PRIMARILY about the LAND." You say the article will be about "Anatolian Turkish Nation," + "Hittites", + "Byzantines" + "Rum" + some others.

Do you mind looking at the article "History of Anatolia." The content you want to explain seems to be "partially" covered under this article. "Names of Turkey" or "Names of Anatolia‎" does not really an accepted terminology and you need to provide the proof that they are not WP:OR. Your knowledge will be more accessible if you integrate your information to "partially" developed "History of Anatolia." I have a feeling the problem here is not related to creating a new article, but lies at finding the correct place to extend (add what previous editors missed). It seems from your message that this article is "History of Anatolia." TarikAkin (talk) 04:50, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

File:HainanLiMiao.gif needs authorship information. edit

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:HainanLiMiao.gif is missing information as to its authorship, or if such information is provided it is confusing.

If possible, please add or clarify this information. This will help other editors to make better use of the image, and it will be more informative for readers.

When adding authorship information to self published work please do NOT use describers such as 'I made this', 'own-work' , 'self-made' or personal names, without making your user name explicit.

This is so that media can be more accurately traced, if it is transferred to Wikimedia Commons.

File permission problem with File:Taiwan.gif edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Taiwan.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 08:38, 12 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of List of mobile phone makers by country edit

 

The article List of mobile phone makers by country has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The article has no sources to demonstrate that 'the list' is a notable subject as required by WP:LISTN. It merely indiscriminately links to articles without any context whatsoever. This WP:INDISCRIMINATE list has no information and serves no encyclopedic purpose that could not be better accomplished with categories. Also, it has become a nightmare to maintain because IPs from around the world continually add red links and external links, possibly to promote commercial interests.

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. - MrX 12:59, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
