Fair use rationale for File:Chase-Manh1966.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Chase-Manh1966.jpg. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 06:20, 5 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Moshe Pearlman edit

 

The article Moshe Pearlman has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — Bill william comptonTalk 14:11, 16 October 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello there! edit

I am here to say that your tagging on many of my recently created articles as "irrelevant location" was wrong. Per Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Places, these articles should be included on the encyclopedia. I shall be reverting your edits. Thank you! TAP 18:33, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

I and numerous editors can confirm this. Populated places covered in the national censuses are by a long margin generally considered notable subjects. And I think you'd be surprised how much could potentially be written about local villages in Turkey and how interesting they could actually be, not to mention valuable if can be researched.♦ Dr. Blofeld 19:02, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Dr. Blofeld is right. This has been the convention pretty much since Wikipedia's inception. Even small villages appear in multiple, independent reliable sources, in the form of national census databases, address databases, and the map data of multiple mapping providers.
Many small villages in, for example, the UK, actually have surprisingly long and detailed articles: all it needs is a little research by someone with local knowledge. An example (the very first article I clicked on at random from Category:Villages in Lincolnshire) is Bigby, Lincolnshire which, with a population of only 234, has an excellent article.
There's no reason why the same can't be done for a small village in Turkey. A stub article provides a starting point for such an article. -- The Anome (talk) 19:57, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Olympic competitors edit

Hi! Please see WP:NOLYMPICS, perhaps you can remove the tags you have added to the Olympians? Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 20:53, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

You have 7 days - time enough to expand the article. --House1630 (talk) 20:58, 13 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for October 13 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Veit Stoss, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page German (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your contributed article, Court auction edit

 

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Court auction. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreclosure#Foreclosure_auction. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreclosure#Foreclosure_auction – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Midhart90 (talk) 01:09, 7 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Walter H. Breen edit

Hello! There seems to be some confusion between Breen's books supporting pederasty (published in the mid 60s) and Breen's trials on charges of child molestation (1990 and 1991). Was there also a trial regarding Breen's book? Zentomologist (talk) 21:51, 6 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
