Thanks for uploading File:Radio nan Gàidheal.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ZooFari00:56, 22 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I hope you are doing fine and I sincerely apologize for this intrusion. I have just read your profile and you seem a very learned person, interested in (small) languages so maybe I am not bothering you and you will help us... I am part of an association "Amical de la Viquipèdia" which is trying to get some recognition as a Catalan Chapter but this has not been approved up to that moment. We would appreciate your support, visible if you stick this on your first page: Wikimedia CAT. Thanks again, wishing you a great summer, take care! Capsot (talk) 07:18, 7 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hey Will, I believe I have found your Wikipedia User. Am I correct or am I, infact, talking to some random stranger? By the way, look up Interpals.net if you want to speak to some foreign speakers, it's helping me greatly! Serpontaié (talk) 21:06, 7 August 2011 (UTC)Reply
Please stop with these inappropriate cut-and-paste moves. If you do not stop and at least make some attempt to discuss, you make be temporarily blocked from editing. older ≠ wiser16:17, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps so. It looks like the redirect was created in 2008 long before the disambiguation page was set up in 2012 and checking what links here indicates readers would be better served with a disambiguation page at the base name. I've gone ahead and moved the page. older ≠ wiser17:45, 8 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Vinaya Patrika, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. —Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 08:28, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Cpt.a.haddock Any Wikipedia content overtly prosyletizing for a religious group is better removed for a subsequent rewrite, as well as being useless to the reader. I thought there was a simple duty to remove such text: as you say, it won't be me rewriting it, but I thought one could clear the ground for somebody who could stress the literary merit of the poem.
I'd just want to question the usefulness of an IAST-based title for a work which is well-known for being in the vernacular. Is Vinaya the pronunciation in Braj Bhasha? If it is, I do apologise. I just think we need to differentiate a little more if there's a reason to. Gherkinmad (talk) 20:20, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
I don't see anything particularly "overtly proselytizing" in the article. We simply go by the spellings that reliable sources use and many of them appear to prefer Vinaya Patrika. At any rate, please do not mark your edits as minor when they are not. Thanks.—Cpt.a.haddock (talk) (please ping when replying) 08:03, 26 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
@Cpt.a.haddock I apologise: my chief strength is proofreading, I just knew the article couldn't stand as it was. I considered the content prosyletizing, so I thought the best thing was to remove it, even if that had to be most of the article. Gherkinmad (talk) 17:35, 26 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hello Gherkinmad,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Werner Weber (disambiguation) for deletion, because it appears to duplicate an existing Wikipedia article, Werner Weber.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Weber, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ernst Weber and George Weber (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
Wikipedia editor Abishe just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
Hello Gherkinmad: Enjoy the holiday season, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. Cheers, Abishe (talk) 04:48, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

@JosephusOfJerusalem: Whatever made you think it was a test edit? I modified the page number because it’s page 80 in the printed version; this is not reflected in the scans of the book and the page number given to it by Google is perfectly irrelevant. Is this understood? Gherkinmad (talk) 17:09, 13 March 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Gherkinmad. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Poetic books, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.
Hi Gherkinmad. Agreed that the change to DAB is a good idea to avoid the attractive nuisance of the ambiguous link. I can break out AWB tomorrow if you like, but that'd generally be a standard replacement of Akkadian to Akkadian language, and might miss some nuances where it should target elsewhere so would require further revision/confirmation. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~12:17, 14 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

This disambiguation page contains the primary topic and one other topic for the ambiguous title and no other topics can be found within a reasonable time.
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.
