Welcome to MY talk page. House Rules I may or may not respond to a post you make here on this page. If I revert or remove your post from my page, it could be that I do not find the discussion germane to me, I will try to respond, but if I don't, you will survive, I'm sure. Alternately it could be that I find something in the posting to be preachy or pedantic, in which case I will simply revert or remove your post. I am busy living my life, and if I hit one button rather than another, on my own talk page, not some vandal, and really don't need to be roasted. I'm often very close to being in trouble, but jerks need to be called out. Whiny editors threaten with "I'll get your x taken away" or "you'll never make admin"... Take note - if I wanted that I would already be one. In the words of Jimbo Wales, I'm a good contributor, and so cutting me some slack is a very reasonable thing to do. This is not your talk page, this is my talk page, and I do not allow edit wars on here. If you are a legal positivist, if the "rules" of Wikipedia in your mind overrule respect for the privacy and pages of others, you have your own talkpage which is your own playground to do exactly what you wish. This is not it, and you are not welcome to it. Friends and colleagues are most welcome, and none of the above is meant for you.. Effective immediately, any visitor to this talk page may delete any "Image rationale" bot notification at will (specifically any and all messages from Betacommandbot and related bots), once they have dealt with the warning. I have no desire to archive them, so they may be deleted once addressed.

 
 
 
 

What part of WP:NAME are you referring to in this edit summary? It is my understanding that bracketed titles are for disambiguation purposes. I.e. you would be justified in moving Federal Office of Police to Federal Office of Police (Swiss) (not Federal Police (Swiss)) if (and only if) Federal Office of Police was made into a disambiguation page at the same time, referencing other entities called Federal Office of Police. --dab (��) 17:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently edited Wars_in_A_Song_of_Ice_and_Fire has been nominated for deletion. [1] -- The Red Pen of Doom 20:00, 5 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor, and freedom..."

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Doesn't it seem odd that under Category:Motorcycle manufacturers, you don't see Harley-Davidson or Kawasaki or any other name except (at the moment) Jawa Motors? Why would Jawa be categorized differently than hundreds of other motorcycle makers?

Please see Wikipedia:DUPCAT#Duplicate_categorization_rule. Category:Motorcycle manufacturers of Czechoslovakia is a member of Category:Motorcycle manufacturers by country and that is a member of Category:Motorcycle manufacturers. --Dbratland (talk) 18:53, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another False alert due to WP mirror[edit]

Removed This alert happened when I was doing an article split-out. The "source" is a WP mirror or cut-and-paste of the article I was splitting out from. --Degen Earthfast (talk) 17:04, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure that you follow the advice at Wikipedia:Splitting when splitting articles. Specifically, you didn't note in the edit history of this article that the content was being copied (you have to do this for copyright reasons). Hut 8.5 19:47, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. You added some information to the article on the Palestine Red Crescent Society that I believe requires some clarification. I have asked for some on the talk page there. While searching for the sources you used, I noticed the same information at Emergency Medical Services in Israel (which you also added - verbatim). I have removed that latter addition (its a copyright violation when not attributed to your earlier edit and as it requires clarification where you first added it, I would appreciate you do that first before re-adding it elsewhere). Waiting for your comments at the talk page. Thanks. Tiamut^talk 20:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing the link to the report Degen Earthfast. In case you did not notice, the speaker/author of that section iis the Israeli Ministry of Health and not the WHO itself. So when you added the information as though it were the WHO speaking, that was slightly misleading. As such, I've removed that. I also removed it because a 2003 report cannot counter a 2009 report. Thanks again for providing your source. Happy editing. Tiamut^talk 19:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not the WHO sepaking. That part of the report is by the ISraeli Minisry of Health. Its clear as day. Please self-revert. Tiamut^talk 07:47, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there! I tagged your article Reparto volanti as needing translation to English. There is actually only one sentence in the opening paragraph written in Italian. I would fix it myself but I don't know enough Italian to order spaghetti. Cheers! Ivanvector (talk) 22:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like another user already fixed the sentence. No worries about the edit on my userpage, thanks for pointing it out and fixing it. Ivanvector (talk) 19:21, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really like the quotes under this heading on your User Page. One and Two are especially poignant. All true? Any source for these?

Hi Degen,

You just removed the bit "without naming Israel" from the international reaction section.

As per the discussion page this was included to maintain neutrality since the UN specifically changed its wording to not mention Israel. But you have a good point.

How about "without placing blame on either party involved"?

That seems more neutral to me anyway ... what do you think?

Zuchinni one (talk) 15:30, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I think that given the violence on both sides it helps to clarify the UN's position. But I'm also open to other ways of wording it.

In either case I'll leave it up to you to edit as you see fit. Zuchinni one (talk) 15:41, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on AirQuest Aviation 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. ttonyb (talk) 16:02, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with AirQuest Aviation. 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. ttonyb (talk) 23:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article Atlantis Rising (book) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Thanks for uploading File:NEXT.JPG. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Embraer ERJ 145 family a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Thanks for uploading File:ProneBicycleCompanyLogo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "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.

I have blanked your efforts at Hercules Fahrrad GmbH & Co and reverted your blank/redirect at Hercules (motorcycle). There are two reasons for this. Firstly, if you want to rename an article you don't blank it, you move it. It is critical to maintain Wikipedia's licensing that edit history is preserved. Secondly your edits to Hercules Fahrrad GmbH & Co seemed to be a direct copy/paste from a google translation of the German Wikipedia article. If you look at Wikipedia:Translation you will see the key point, highlighted in bold that "an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing" and furthermore that proper credit must be given to the original version to avoid copyright infringement. So, if you do want to include elements from the German article, then by all means do but add them to the existing article, finish the machine translation by removing any grammatical howlers, and give proper credit to the German version. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:06, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear 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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Hi. Certainly, you can translate articles from one project to another, but since the originals are not public domain, there are attribution issues necessary to avoid creating copyright problems. Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia explains what to do. It seems, though, that there may be consensus against dropping in unmodified machine translations at Wikipedia:Translation. You'll need to work through that issue if you wish to continue with translating content. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The image still fails the 10c policy requirement and has been removed from the article again. Please do not restore this image to that article again without complying with the requirements of that policy. For more information on how to write an appropriate non-free use rationale, please consult Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. If you have questions about this, please ask.

Thanks for uploading File:Razor logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ∃ Aaditya 7 05:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Morton Williams is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Morton Williams until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. --John (talk) 17:59, 10 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. As a Italian-speaking WikiGnome, I'd like to solicit your help in testing a new tool. For a few years now, the Red Link Recovery Project has been using the Red Link Recovery Live tool to track down and fix unnecessarily red links in articles. Recently, the tool has been expanded to work on non-English Wikipedias. A small set of suggested fixes for red-links on the Italian-language Wikipedia have been prepared and I'm hoping to interest some Italian-language speakers (such as yourself) to work through them.

If you are interested, please visit http://toolserver.org/~tb/RLRL/quick.php?lang=it. Each time you refresh the page you'll be presented with three new suggested fixes. I'll be happy to answer any questions on the tools talk page. - TB (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since you are in Philadelphia right now, do you take photo requests? If so, I have a list of possibilities. Also, do you edit the Spanish Wikipedia? I started a very short stub on the Philadelphia school district there, and if you are willing to help expand it, that would be nice :) Thanks, WhisperToMe (talk) 21:28, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. The Philly school district article is at: es:Distrito Escolar de Filadelfia
2. Here are the photo requests in the Philadelphia area that I have so far:

• City of Philadelphia:
  • Images of the main entrance of the Philadelphia High School for Girls - 1400 W Olney - Currently the article shows the school gym
  • Bustleton Library: 10199 Bustleton Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19116-3718
  • William M. Meredith School: 725 South 5th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147-3093 (whole building) - Image of entrance is at File:Meredith School.JPG
  • Santore Library: 932 South 7th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147-2932 (7th & Carpenter Sts.)
  • Fumo Library: 2437 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19148-3508
  • South Philadelphia Library: 1700 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19145-2392
  • George Washington High School - 10175 Bustleton Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19116-3798
  • Saints John Neumann and Maria Goretti Catholic High School - 1736 South Tenth Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19148
  • Furness High School (image of whole building) - 1900 S. 3rd St. Philadelphia PA 19148
• Suburbs
  • China Airlines Philadelphia office - 2300 Computer AVE. Building 39G, Willow Grove, PA 19090, U.S.A
  • Main entrance to State Correctional Institution – Graterford - There is a sign stating the facility's presence located at the intersection of Graterford Road and Perkiomen Creek Road in Skippack Township, Montgomery County. See the Google maps view of the sign - This is not actually on the prison grounds, so it shouldn't be a problem getting a photo of the sign.

A tag has been placed on Ha'argaz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Holy Pits! (talk) 19:51, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am currently teaching a new user how to edit (we happen to be staying in the same place right now). I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'setting up his account', but it would seem the mistakes of a very new user do not in any way constitute vandalism. It would be appropriate for someone of your standing to assume good faith and ensure that new users are welcome.

Having said that, if you wish to open a sock-puppet investigation (which you are, of course, welcome to do), please do inform me and I will provide the relevant documents and proofs to CheckUsers or Arbcom as is appropriate. It would be nice of you to apologise to the user in question as they have done nothing more than make a newbie mistake. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 22:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you report this user for abuse when they haven't committed serious vandalism? I believe the G11 tag for Ha'argaz was possibly a good faith newbie mistake, not vandalism. Additionally, I'm not seeing anything that would warrant a CheckUser. SwisterTwister talk 01:17, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
