All these images are my own images. I made them, and I decided to publish them on Wikipedia. I want them to be restored. And look, why have my own images with myself not been deleted, too, for the same reason? This all is not logical. Is there someone who has a problem with me? Please restore ALL my images, they are the only existing ones and my roots (the PCs on which i had them were been stolen).SvenLittkowski (talk) 07:13, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of "Round Britain" "air race" edit

 

A tag has been placed on "Round Britain" "air race" 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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." 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 (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. tgies (talk) 23:26, 14 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

"Rotaremis vehiculum" edit

Hello! It would be awesome if the Romans had actually built a working paddle ship, but aside from your forum, there is no authority that states that the ship was ever built, and all the scholars who examined the De Rebus Bellici agree on the matter. First, the De Rebus Bellici is explicitly a proposal for new war machines submitted to the emperor, not an inventory of existing designs, and the current consensus is that it was probably never even read by the emperor or his officials. Second, the text itself says nothing about "observed high performance": it says that the ship enters battle quickly and shatters all opposing galleys, but that is promotion-talk like "the new fighter jet reaches Mach 3, is completely stealthy and destroys all enemy fighters from BVR". Third, there is no other, corroborating evidence that these ships were ever built. Fourth, the scholars who have examined the De Rebus Bellici (Thompson, Hassall and Ireland) all agree that the oxen would have been inadequate to propel the ship. They also agree that the ship design was inspired by the new water mills, but not that it reflects the description of an actually existing ship design, certainly not one dating to the 3rd century BC! Since Wikipedia operates on the basis of verifiability, not truth, and since the authorities on the subject disagree with your conclusions, we cannot include its existence as undisputable fact. This goes both for the Roman navy article, where it does not belong in so far as it was probably never built or used by it, as for the main Rotaremis vehiculum article itself.

You forget the paddle-wheel ships that came into action due one of the Carthagian wars. Small boats. Besides, this image is seen on my very personal page within Wikipedia. I need my images to be restored! SvenLittkowski (talk) 07:15, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

I am not seeing my personal images for my personal page ("User:SvenLittkowski") being restored. Please restore. It must not become the regular habit to destroy images created by the User page owner and displayed on his user page to be destroyed. SvenLittkowski (talk) 03:55, 8 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on Jamaica Contact, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Contested deletion edit

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of notability because this is not a page about a subject (in this case a person) on Wikipedia, but this is the USER page, in which the user self is supposed to write data about himself or herself. If this would be a regular page on Wikipedia, I might agree. But this is just something like my own user profile. I tried to be as objective as I can, despite of the fact that the English language is not my main language. I saw USER: pages which contained much more obscure information than my user profile page...

Again, this is a USER:profile page, not a regular page. Maybe the person who wants to delete it, has overseen that fact.  :-) SvenLittkowski (talk) 04:26, 1 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Exactly, this is my very personal page. I need ALL my images to be restored! It is a scandal that someone deletes my very own images which i self created, on my very personal page! Those computers I created these images were been stolen, the images here are the only ones I have of my past, I don't want my roots to be destroyed! Also, I was not aware that it seems to be forbidden to put own images on the own user page, and I don't want to believe it. Please restore! Thanks! SvenLittkowski (talk) 07:11, 22 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Please restore my deleted images which I uploaded for my personal page, they have not yet been restored. Thanks. SvenLittkowski (talk) 21:02, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

April 2015 edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Jamaica, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. - BilCat (talk) 20:58, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the notification. I self live in Jamaica, and observe here. While I understand that some parts of my text would be removed, I believe, those parts which are common knowledge and already printed in many book publications and research studies should have been kept available for the public. Please consider to check again and to remove not everything. In this regards, I have added a photo taken inside a typical Jamaican police station. SvenLittkowski (talk) 21:08, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply

Then cite some of those source. As for the photo, I'm not sure we can use it with the face blotted out. - BilCat (talk) 21:49, 19 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
