Proper disambiguation

edit

Hello.

I am here about your contribution #676730401 in Bower (software) article. I am afraid it was rather sloppy and I had no choice but to undo it. For how we do disambiguation in Wikipedia, you can study Wikipedia:Disambiguation §§ Is there a primary topic?​ and Disambiguation page or hatnotes? but in summary, articles whose titles have disambiguating suffixes like "(software)" do not require any disambiguation.

Best regards,

Sorry, Lisa, I realize my entry was unusual. I use the English Wikipedia to learn English, and had not known the word bower. My fried Peterson had translated Die Gartenlaube in his book with bower, not as you do with Garden arbor. Looking for bower I had wound up with this piece of software, and felt that a the entry "Bower (software)" looked like an ad for the software, and it might have needed a disambiguation or some sort of back link right from the start. In fact there is a disambiguation for bower! Why not let the reader of "software" know that? Later I went to Pergola, and had found what I had looked for, but with no mention of »bower« there. Perhaps the word bower ought to b added to the pergola entry? Thank you and nice greetings from Germany! – Fritz Jörn (talk) 11:14, 19 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

Please attribute or claim media you uploaded or restored: File:Ritten (61).JPG

edit

You uploaded or restored , File:Ritten (61).JPG, but for various reasons did not add an {{information}} block, or indicate your (user) name on the file description page. Media uploaded to Wikipedia needs information on the SPECIFIC authorship and source of files, to ensure that it complies with copyright laws in various jurisdictions.

If it's entirely your own work:
please include {{own}} in the relevant source field, amend the {{information}} added by a third party, ensuring that your user name (or name you want used for attribution) is clear in the author field, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant (if such a license is not already used). You should also add an |author= parameter to the license tag, to assist reviews and image patrollers.

When you have copmpleted the above steps: to indicate that you've accepted the given the license shown, and updated the file description page appropriately.

If it's not entirely your own work, or the media is based on the work of others:
Please update the source and authorship fields, so that they accurately reflect the source and authors of the original work(s), as well as the derivative you created. You should also not use a "self" license unless the work is entirely you own. Media that is incorrectly claimed as self or {{own}}, will eventually be listed at Files for Discussion or deleted, unless it's full status is entirely clear to other contributors, reviewers and image patrollers. You should also read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission which details how to confirm any permissions you obtained for works by others that are still in copyright.

Whilst this notification, relates to a single media upload, it would also be appreciated if you could ensure that appropriate attribution exists for other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If media is not claimed, and there's no other obvious source or authorship information, the file may have to be removed for copyright reasons.

It's okay to remove or strike messages like this once the concerns have been addressed. :). ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:08, 26 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Ok, Wikipedia managers. "Womanizer" gives 16.2 Million hits with Google, try and see. In the German Wikipedia the Womanizer as device is pictured and called a vibrator, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womanizer last entry. Not so in the English version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Womanizer. In the German Vibrator entry the device is shown (Succionador.png) and called a »Druckwellenvibrator zur Stimulation der Klitoris mithilfe von kurzen Saugreizen in schneller Folge« (“pressure wave vibrator to stimulate the clitoris using short suction impulses in rapid succession”). The thing is a German patent. If you think the vibrator is not worth explaining to the English reader, I won’t interfere. Frankly I’m disappointed with your policy, that only published articles count, and not simple facts. – Fritz Jörn (talk) 17:34, 1 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
