Wow, you don't listen to his show at all do you? He's only mentioned it on air repeatedly.... Hmoul (talk) 02:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

I actually have listened to the podcast version of it from time to time. That being said, it needs to be cited properly to remain in the article because the previous version of the article was deleted for BLP reasons, and the new incarnation will be under strict scrutiny. If you can find a podcast stream where he says it, there are ways to cite that properly. -MBK004 11:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply


Blue Mountain (Montana) is an article you createdthat is lacking any sources. Would you care to add some before I trim it? 24.4.253.249 07:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Not yours, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Not yours. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Please make an effort to make sure not to create pages for subjects which already have articles. I have turned the page Law Enforcement Agencies into a redirect to Law enforcement agency.

Your article Dave Johnson (athlete) has appeared in the Dead End Pages list because it is not wikified.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Tom Cruise, but we regretfully cannot accept original research.

Generic porn look has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt that this article might represent your own conclusions rather than conclusions already published. Please review WP:OR for the relevant guidelines. If you can add sources for the claims, please do so.

If you agree with the deletion, don't delete all the text from the article. It's not the same as deleting the article itself and actually complicates the process. If you're absolutely sure you want rid of an article which you wrote (and other people didn't contribute any information to), you can add {{db-author}} to the top to request it be speedily deleted. But there's no real reason to do that if you don't want to.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 00:07, 28 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading Image:Bluehole b500w.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 me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ×Meegs 11:33, 18 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Selena steele.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Selena steele.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:48, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Charmaines-cover.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Wannabe Mod Comments

edit

I added a citation needed tag to information you added to the Cozumel concerning its recovery from Hurricane Wilma. Is this information that you got from a source, or from your firsthand observation? As I'm sure you're aware, Wikipedia requires that any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged must be accompanied by a reliable (published) source. The Wilma section of the Cozumel article has been challenged in the past, and is likely to be challenged again in the future with there being lots of people in the Scuba diving community who say Cozumel is great, fully recovered, and those saying it's still damaged or was irreparably harmed by Wilma. If you have a source for this you can provide, that would be great! - Fordan (talk) 19:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

McMansion

edit

Before you engage in an edit war with me I suggest you read the article discussion page and enage in a discussion over our differences. This article is the end result of many peoples hard work over many years. Your interpretation of "McMansion" as a neutral and objective term is incorrect, it is a slang term and it is pejorative. Thank you. --Stbalbach 01:07, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Also, it's funny how Hmoul claimed to remove POV statements, yet inserted phrases like they are typically well educated, traveled, and have larger than average amounts of disposable income. And criticism of McMansions is hardly limited to jealous and zealous lower-class liberals and environmentalists; historical societies (often run by conservative-minded, older folks) decry the cookie-cutter lack of originality in tract homes as well. --71.31.141.236 02:30, 26 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Samurai in Gor?

edit

The overall "far-eastern" cultural influence in the Gor books seems to be rather slight; you would need to provide a specific book and chapter reference to demonstrate that any Samurai reference is important enough to be included in the Gor article. AnonMoos 14:01, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

Another editor removed your additions to Denise Masino with good reason - please see WP:BLP, and in particular, the section called "Remove unsourced or poorly sourced negative material".

You still have not properly sourced any of your claims about Masino's implants and other body parts. For example, you state: "The extreme size of her genitals (her clitoris is the size of a thumb) combined with her great muscularity is often taken as evidence of steroid use that would include large regular doses of testosterone".

Edit summary

edit

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

 

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Minakami mon.gif)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Minakami mon.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:43, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Meat curtains

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Meat curtains requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Non-dropframe (talk) 02:31, 12 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Akio Minakami

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 Akio Minakami, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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.
