So, are you going to flesh out this article, or what? Herostratus 07:44, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Spam whitelist - what do you think?

At User:Eagle 101's request, I have gone to various editors seeking a consensus on this discussion, as I personally know the artist whose site it is - therefore, there is a small issue of WP:COI. Please take a look and leave your thoughts there.--Vox Humana 8' 23:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Adam Warren

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Adam Warren, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Scolari logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Scolari logo.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. BetacommandBot 01:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Skuldahoge.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Skuldahoge.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:38, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of "Notable ahoge characters"

The deletion of an article you created, Notable ahoge characters, has been proposed for the following reason:

Doesn't seem to actually attest to it's notability at all, mainly just a list of something very much non-notable

You are welcome to improve the article to meet Wikipedia's quality standards and remove the deletion notice from the article. You may also remove the notice if you disagree with the deletion, though in such cases, further discussion may take place at Articles for deletion, and the article may still be deleted if there is a consensus to do so.

Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy. You may wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you treelo _talk 18:46, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Adam Warren interviews

Hello,

Regards this, normally web archives allows for navigation between linked archived pages. Is that the case here? If so, I wouldn't duplicate the second part of the interview as a second EL. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 17:11, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Normally yes, but the interview was a two parter that was released in two different issues of the magazine and is stored in two different "archives" of the site. Since its from a different issue, part 2 is not directly linked from part 1 within the site. Also, because of the way it is archived, going back to the main index goes to a version of the index that was made before the next interview was posted. While it is possible to get to part 2 from part 1, it is not an easy task and requires a lot of mucking around and waiting for the way back machines servers to load. I figured it would be much simpler to just link part two directly on the site and save everyone a bunch of hassle. Lando242 (talk) 09:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 '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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:36, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: The SimTower article

You can pretty much make any additions that you want, as long as they abide by the Manual of Style. Specifically, information should be cited to a reliable source, otherwise I will contest it so that the article can maintain a good article. And also, it helps if the added text is spell-checked, grammar-checked, copyedited, etc. since I usually have to do that for others, heh. Gary King (talk · scripts) 01:13, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Some of the references that you used are not reliable. You need to replace them. I marked them with {{rs}}. Gary King (talk · scripts) 08:26, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Okay thanks it looks a lot better now. If you've got time, I need some help expanding the "Development" section. It's really hard to find information on the game's development when it's so old. Gary King (talk · scripts) 22:24, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:SpaceBarBoxArtIsometric.png

Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Cite web and named refs

Hi, saw you question- yes you can use named refs with {{cite web}} or any other form of citation not just templates like this

Here is some text.<ref name="First ref">{{Cite web|url=http://www.google.com|title=Google}}</ref>  Then some more text.<ref name="First ref"/>
{{Reflist}}

produces
Here is some text. Then some more text.

Hope this helps. NtheP (talk) 22:52, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:AdamWarrenSelfPortrait.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:AdamWarrenSelfPortrait.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:27, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
