Reference Desk comment

Hello Mr. Yoshiamo,

We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia and I am sure that you have valuable insights that will lead to your being able to improve many of our video game articles. As a newcomer to Wikipedia who has a lot of experience in your field, I'd ask that you familiarize yourself in particular with our Wikipedia:Verifiability policy (and then the Wikipedia:Citing sources guideline that follows it). No doubt you are in possession of much information that would be tempting to just insert into articles without citing a reliable source — but ideally, each Wikipedia article's statements are supposed to cite references, from top to bottom. Many of our video game articles are in need of improvement, but many are already "featured articles" — the best of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Featured articles#Video gaming for a list of our video game articles that are already featured articles, if you would like a sense of what we are striving for in all our other video game articles. Welcome! Comet Tuttle (talk) 04:47, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

(As an aside, if you ask future questions at the Reference Desk, the questions will be answered there.) Comet Tuttle (talk) 04:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Port1337

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Port1337 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Port1337. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:29, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Port1337. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Eeekster (talk) 20:32, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Port1337, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:35, 7 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Conrad J Abbott 19XX.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, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 11:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:58, 28 June 2010 (UTC)Reply
