Hello Everyone,

I'm a new user on Wikipedia and I will be posting a few articles that I will translate later into Spanish and French. I think I might need some help cause it is all new to me. If you want to know more about me: http://www.flickr.com/photos/patricia-willocq/ www.patriciawillocq.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/23370378@N08/

Thanks a lot!

RE:Art in all of us

edit

(I usually keep discussions in one place, but I'm going to make an exception in this case).

Hi Patricia. I'm more than happy to answer your questions and help you out with your problem.

  1. It seems that you've put your article on your User page, and the stuff you've placed above generally go on those pages (although this is completely optional). This is your Talk page, where editors can communicate with you.
  2. Go to edit the user page, and copy everything in the edit box. Then click this link. When you search for a page, it will appear as a red link if it doesn't exist (like this for example). Clicking the red link will allow you to create the page. Simply paste everything you copied in there and save the changes. Your article should then be created.
  3. External links work like this: [http://www.whateverwebsitegoeshere.com Whatever Website Goes Here]. Note the space between the URL and the italicised bit. Whatever comes after the space is how the link will appear on the page.

Hope I was able to help you. --.:Alex:. 19:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

To whoever wants to help me with this article: Art in All of Us (AiA)

1/ I can't find the article on wikipedia! After investigating I found out that this could be due to the fact that some words in the title are capitalized and some others are not. I have to redirect it, right? Can anyone help me with it?

2/ I'm trying to add a banner at the bootom of the article and a picture on the side of the article and once again, I need some helps as I have spent soo long trying to do it.

Thank you for your help! --Patricia Willocq 09:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Stéphanie Rabemiafara

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Stéphanie Rabemiafara requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply


Stephanie Rabemiafara

edit

Stephanie is a notable person as she is the founder of Art in All of Us (part of the UNICEF Pgm). Thank you!

  • Hi; trying to answer you, but we just had an edit conflict. The tone of the article doesn't establish that fact. It's written in far too breezy and colloquial a tone, plus it needs third-party references. I'll withdraw my objection and hang an {{underconstruction}} template on it. By the way, you can sign your talk page posts with four tildes, like this: ~~~~ or use the signature box at the top of any page in edit mode. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:27, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Patricia, you might want to take a peek at the manual of style to get a better feel for how an article should be constructed. You don't need to sign the article itself with the four tildes, just talk pages. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to leave word on my talk page. I've removed the speedy deletion in the meantime. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Patricia, you should be OK for a couple of weeks or so. I tried to find some online biographical info on her, but I came up short. She's definitely notable enough for an article based on what I found and if you have direct contact with her, that'll be a tremendous help. I have a few famous friends for whom I did bios on back under my old username. It makes things really easy when you can go right to the source!  :) Good luck and drop me a line when you get the info from her. I'll give you a hand if you'd like. Regards, --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:01, 9 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:2300562378_143a24b686_o.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2300562378_143a24b686_o.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. Nilfanion (talk) 11:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Banner givestream.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Banner givestream.jpg.

Hello Patricia

edit

I saw that you wrote Biorock. It gives me great pleasure because I wrote Biorock-Technologie in German. Unfortunately, I can not enough Spanish or French. Can you translate the article in these languages? I think the topic is very exciting. Grüsse aus Deutschland --Dellexxx (talk) 13:51, 10 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Stéphanie Rabemiafara

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Stéphanie Rabemiafara requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.
