Sabah subcategories edit

I have deleted a few of the empty categories you created for Category:Sabah—Society & Culture, News & Media and Science & Technology. Because these were always empty, and have been for quite some time, they are speedy deletable, which means deletable on sight without discussion. The other empty categories created with similar names were (unnecessarily) listed on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion. These appear to have been created by accident, as you have created numerous others for Sabah topics that properly included "Sabah" in the category name. Feel free to create additional subcategories for Category:Sabah that are properly named, but make sure their names and the subject divisions correspond to those already observed in Category:Malaysia overall. Cheers, Postdlf 00:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Misusage of categories and regarding Template:Sabah edit

Hello. I want to inform you that you are misusing category. It's not a place for a collection of outside link. And please ensure your categories are consistent with other categories. For instance, please observe precedent available in other Malaysian states or even other well-developed categories for states (like Category:California). Note that there is a certain naming convention that needs to be adhere.

Concerning Template:Sabah, I feel strongly that it should only be included in pages which is linked by the template. In this case, only divisions and towns/cities/villages of Sabah should have that template. And please be mindful whenever you decide to add the template because some pages have already had existing template. Adding another one something result in cosmetic disaster. I had removed some that graphically overlapped with one another. Thanks. __earth (Talk) 03:24, 4 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Reply to "why why why" edit

Hello. Firstly, I want to apologize for being harsh and perhaps rude. However, the reason I blanked some of your work (which I was coincidentally checking on Sabah's categories) is that, those articles contains stuff copied verbatim from outside and copyrighted source. At the same time, the lack of copyright notice doesn't mean you have the right to copy it and paste it here.

And categories, Category:Recreation & Sports in Sabah is very out of line. Wikipedia already has Category:Recreation. At the same time, the current convention uses Category:Sport in Malaysia. So, if you want to make new related Sabah categories, it should Category:Recreation in Sabah (though I don't recommend this cat because the parent cat itself isnt about what you are trying to compile) and Category:Sport in Sabah. The Category:Recreation & Sports in Sabah is simply not in line with Wikipedia's style.

I hope that helps. __earth (Talk) 19:00, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image Tagging Image:SSGCC3.jpg edit

 
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:SSGCC3.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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 media, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -SCEhardT 22:29, 31 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

List of hotels in Sabah edit

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of hotels in Sabah, 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 Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:List of hotels in Sabah. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Spam in Sabah Medical Centre edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Sabah Medical Centre, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Sabah Medical Centre is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Sabah Medical Centre, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

File copyright problem with File:Baru_Bian.jpg edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Baru_Bian.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page. 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 uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. feydey (talk) 09:00, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Baru Bian.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Baru Bian.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 19:51, 16 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Ng Wee Kiong 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.

A tag has been placed on Ng Wee Kiong, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. (See section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
  • It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 removed 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
