templates

Template:List is a perfectly valid template but its name is ridiculous. Will you please:

• move it to a name like template:Patriarchate of Serbia
• change all articles which use it
• mark it for deletion with {{db|now moved to ... }}

I have already done the same for you with Template:TheNameOfYourTemplate but template:list is too widely used.

Also, the images you have uploaded need source and copyright tags or they are liable to be deleted. -- RHaworth 18:57, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

Serbs portal

Hi mate - just had a look at your new portal - looks very smart. I would say immediately, however, that it would be much appreciated if you moved the Portal to Portal:Serbia rather than Portal:Serbs. Firstly, it fits into our Portal subject areas more easily, but also because lots of the boxes in your article refer to Serbia and not Serbs.

If you would like to discuss this further, just leave me a message. But if not - all the best getting it set up fully and we look forward to seeing it on the namespace once it is complete!

All the best, Deano 16:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Nice to see this new Portal. If you want any help, just contact me and I will do anything what can. You can visit Serbian Wikipedia where you can ask for help. Best regards. --M. Pokrajac 19:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I think that you should reduce Church themes. You can put some art or sport article for featured article... --M. Pokrajac 20:00, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I also welcome you to Wikipedia and am astounded by your portal! :)

I don't think that the portal should be moved. Portal Serbia and Montenegro can be made independently of it. Nikola 10:36, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Please do not copy and paste from copyrighted web sites

As you may or may not know, we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from either web sites or printed material. I recently discovered that you did in fact copy material from http://www.chicagobears.com/history, first posting it on Chicago Bears, and then creating the page "Chicago Bears History".

For more information about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, take a look at our Five Pillars. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:31, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Image tagging

When you upload an image to Wikipedia, you should tag it, as explained at WP:ICT, or it might be deleted. See f.e. how I did it with your image here. Nikola 11:46, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Chicago Bears

There is a big difference between writing original material and citing sources, and using material cut-and-pasted from other websites (including this one). After checking, I see that you have corrected yourself, so I'm not going to revert anymore. Sometimes, I admit that I pull the trigger too fast, as there are others around who don't listen and learn. ErikNY 19:44, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Image tagging: Image:Bearsorange.jpg

As Nikola wrote above, please remember to tag the images that you upload, like Image:Bearsorange.jpg, as per Wikipedia:Image copyright tags so we know its copyright status. Otherwise, any untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on the criteria for speedy deletion.

Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of fair use. To see a) if this image qualifies, and b) if so, how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:13, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Web-screenshot tag

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. I've noticed you've uploaded Image:Chicago92.gif, tagged with {{web-screenshot}}. This tag is not meant to be used for images that came from Web pages; it's meant to be used for images of Web pages (such as Image:Google screenshot.png, for example). I've retagged this image with the {{Non-free fair use in}} tag. If you have any questions, please feel free to post a message on my talk page. —Bkell 00:01, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Halas 050331.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Halas 050331.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image copyright problem with Image:Pr99-1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pr99-1.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

• As per Wikipedia's policy on fair use images (Rule #9), please do not put the Bears logo, or any other copyrighted logos, directly on a template. Thanks.

Chicago Bears

I'll be honest with you — I think the Bears article is featured article worthy. However, I think the major issue at hand is that FA voters look for merged sections. If you merge and compress the ownership section with the history to provide a sense of chronological order, you'll probably be in good shape. You may also want to merge the logo and uniform sections and turn that into chronological order. The prose is generally fine, you probably won't get beat over the head for criterion 2a. I can give you a hand if you want, but speaking of the New England Patriots article, it's in terrible condition. I've been trying to bring it back up to a respectable status again. — Deckiller 03:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I'd say the best thing to do would be to merge the stadium/ownership information into the history sections. Then again, the Bears' have been around nearly twice as long as the Pats, with many more peaks, valeys, and key changes. I do like the bonus info on the cheerleaders and popular culture, which should really help the article meet the comprehensiveness standard. Nevertheless, I highly recommend merging the business/stadium highlights into the history to keep it succinct and chronological. — Deckiller 22:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Virginia mccaskey.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Virginia mccaskey.gif. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Section merging

It's your push, so if you wish to model it like that, feel free to go ahead. If you start to get a lot of objections to its format, however, it will be a good idea to start to tailor the article to the reviewers' suggestions. — Deckiller 02:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

• Featured article criteria are often bended to a user's preferences (read: length of plot sections in video game FAs), which often changes as the time goes on. Thus, what is community consensus now may not have been community consensus in a past time. Granted, this is absolutely no reason to remove or review past FAs; it's just a typical wikibug. — Deckiller 02:52, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

What is the proper rationale I should give to an image that tells it is fair use. Everything I have read about it seems confusing? --Happyman22 15:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

There are four factors which must be considered for a fair-use claim under United States copyright law:

1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Basically, you need to establish the following claims:

• The use must not attempt to "supersede the objects" of the original but rather be educational or critical.
• The less of the original that is used in relation to the whole the more likely that use is fair, though the importance of the specific portion is also considered (as quoting the most important part may attempt to "supersede" the original).
• The use must not infringe on the copyright owner's ability to exploit his original work (for instance, by acting as a direct market substitute for the original work), though not through criticism or parody.

Additionally, you must make sure that the image satisfies all ten requirements of the Wikipedia fair use policy. Go through these requirements one by one. Give an explanation for any of them that you think need justification. In particular, you will need to explain why no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information (the first requirement), and why the image contributes significantly to the article and does not serve a purely decorative purpose (the eighth requirement).

I personally think that a fair-use claim for this image is shaky, because the photograph was apparently taken to be used as art for a Kodak box, and we are not using the image to comment on this box art. (One of the fair use counterexamples is "an image of a magazine cover, used only to illustrate the article on the person whose photograph is on the cover." This seems to be similar: an image of the packaging of a commercial product, used only to illustrate the article on the persons whose photograph is on the box.) In addition, this image has a very large and distracting watermark that says "www.BearsHistory.com", which lessens the suitability of the image for Wikipedia. You will need to write your fair-use rationale in such a way that it will convince skeptics like me that the use of this image on Wikipedia falls under fair use and is not simply a copyright violation. Let me know if you need help or have any more questions. —Bkell (talk) 16:19, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Invitation to join Wikipedia:WikiProject Eastern Orthodoxy

Unspecified source for Image:Serb-ch.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Serb-ch.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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.

Image:Serb-ch.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Serb-ch.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 18:54, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

BearsStub

Hi - it has come to our notice that you have recently created a new stub type. As it clearly states at WP:STUB, at the top of most stub categories, on the template page for new Wikiprojects and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and whether better use could be made of a WikiProject-specific talk page template.

In the case of your new stub type, it is not named according to stub naming guidelines, it does not reach the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, it is not correctly formed, and is of a type which would be unlikely to gain any support for a stub split (sportspeople change teams regularly, so this would result in a lot of unnecessary multiple-stubbing). Your new stub type has been proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:35, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Chicago Bears seasons stubs

Thanks for all your contributions of articles on individual seasons played by the Chicago Bears. I was wondering if I could ask you to avoid using the {{stub}} template where a more specific template is available. Might I suggest {{Americanfootball-stub}}? The {{stub}} template doesn't place the article on a specific list of football articles. Because of that, the people best able to improve the stubs you are creating are highly unlikely to ever see the articles or improve them. Also, common practice is to put one stub template at the bottom of the article, rather than one in each section. Please understand, I'm suggesting these changes to save me & others from having to edit each article to add a more specific stub tag or make other changes. If the article is put in the best category to start with, it will help the project. What do you think? --Ssbohio 03:46, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

AFL-NFL Championships

I would like to see confirmation that "the NFL record book" doesn't count league championships for AFL or NFL champions who won the Super Bowl. Comparing this to baseball, did the St. Louis Cardinals win the American Baseball League Championship last year, or doesn't it count, because they won the World Series?

The page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_NFL_Championships gives a column for NFL championships and a column for AFL championships. Did the Jets win zero AFL championships? The Texans/Chiefs won three AFL championships; in 1962, 1966 AND 1969, and a World Championship in 1969. There were ten AFL championship games. Add up the column on that page, and you only get eight. Similarly, the sum of the NFL championships is incorrect. Listing all the league championships is less confusing than NOT listing them, and is historically correct, which your table is not.

I suggest you simply properly record the AFL and NFL championships, then change footnote [1} to read: "From the 1933 through the 1969 season, the NFL played a league championship game. Its champions are recorded above. From the 1960 through the 1969 season, the AFL played a league championship game. Its champions are also recorded above. From 1966 through 1969, the champions of each league played each other, as in Baseball, and the winner was the World Champion. Since 1970, there has only been one major pro football league, so the Super Bowl winner is the NFL champion." Any comments, please e-mail me at RemembertheAFL@aol.com SugnuSicilianu

More AFL-NFL Championships

Thanks. The table now reflects actual fact. SugnuSicilianu

Bears team template

Please explain yourself. All of that "stuff" has become standard - just implementing it is our current task now. The coaches link brings you to the main article's coaches of note section, which goes nicely with the "players" link on the templates - which usually links to the main page, except when there's a separate player page, like you have with the Bears. But the head coaches section is already part of the BearsCoach template, so please, tell me what I added. Because I all I added were the Quarterbacks and Coaches links - the Quarterbacks page is one of the core pages of the Bears project, so please tell me why it doesn't belong on this template. Besides that, nothing else changed, aside from a few minor aesthetics. Pats1 01:16, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Technically, by your logic, the franchise link shouldn't be there too, because it leads to everything else on the template. Do you see my point? You have to draw the line somewhere between keeping things two/three levels deep. The Quarterbacks article is separate and considered to be on the level of a players, history, logos/uniforms, or seasons article of teams. As far as the Decatur Staleys goes, it would be inappropriate to just label the template the Chicago Bears. Not everything on the template (most notably the history and players articles) falls under the heading "Chicago Bears." Having Boston/New England Patriots or Decatur Staleys/Chicago Bears makes the template more all-encompassing and appropriate to its material. As far as some of the links on there, how does making it bold signify to the reader that that's the current stadium? They're in chronological order - there's no need to add superfluous bold text. Brian's Song and The Super Bowl Shuffle are both titles of articles - on the same exact level as Chicago Bears or George Halas (not material-wise, of course, but rather in the fact that they're all articles, and the former are no less articles than the latter). The appropriate quotes or italicized text will be contained within the interior titles of the articles and don't have to be duplicated whenever that article is linked. As far as NFL championship appearances go, those can really start to pile up, especially with a storied franchise like the Bears. Instead of adding a teams' AAFC or AFL or pre-merger NFL championship appearances, the most concise method seems to be just Super Bowl appearances - what links every modern NFL team together. Training camp starts for the Pats in 33 days. Can't wait. :D Pats1 01:42, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Of course there's going to be some cases like the Packers or Cardinals where the team had a bunch of different names. No system is going to be perfect. But an "other team names" section is just a rehash of the main article and mostly wasted space - having the main team names as a header is a good compromise. Sounds good with the QB page - make sure to de-link the main Bears article then, too. Again, with the NFL/AFL/AAFC championship appearances, we could go back to some 1919 match with the Providence Steam Roller or whatever. The NFL championships won are still on the template, in the league championships section. Only some teams have NFL championship game appearances, while some have AFL CG appearances, while still others have AAFC ones. However, almost every NFL team now has a Super Bowl appearance. It's something that can be standard throughout all team templates. I know you are proud about the Bears' pre-merger history, but introducing elements of it would open the door to introducing elements from every little league every team was a part of prior to the modern NFL. The Super Bowl is the championship game of the modern NFL. Honestly, whatever is done on the Arsenal page is not of my concern. The only common link is that they're part of English Wikipedia and they're a sports team. That's it. They're not American, they're not about American football, and most importantly, they're not a part of WP:NFL. Whatever their "football" project decides to do is independent of what WP:NFL decides to do. Pats1 02:18, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Kosovo: country debate

Hello. There's a discussion going on Talk:List of countries as to whether or not Kosovo should be included in that list. You have an interest in Serbia-related articles and I thought you might be interested. The articles List of countries and Annex to the list of countries (where the inclusion criteria reside) are both relevant. Cheers. DSuser 13:38, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. It's probably a minor point, but there a discussion and vote going on at Talk:Kosovo#Kosovo:_terminology as to whether or not it's better to use Kosovo rather than Kosovan or Kosovar in the Wikipedia articles. Perhaps you have no interest, in which case sorry to bother you! DSuser 15:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

FL Main page proposal

You either nominated a WP:FLC or closed such a nomination this year. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1 2007, voting starting December 1 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:16, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Featured List of the Day Experiment

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 17:34, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:200px-PatrijarhDimitrijePavlovic.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:200px-PatrijarhDimitrijePavlovic.jpg. 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.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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.

File permission problem with File:St-mark.jpg

File Copyright problem

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

If you created 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

Chicago Bears FAR

I have nominated Chicago Bears for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 20:34, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Reviewer rights

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection 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.

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. Karanacs (talk) 15:31, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
