[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Women's Royal Australian Naval Service, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--Gurubrahma 03:57, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


Hey Gurubrahma! Many thanks for the welcome, and for making my article a DYK! As a new Wikipedian, I was surprised and honoured to see one of the first of my few creations (so far) linked to the Wikipedia front page. :-)

Best regards! Bezapt 14:45, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page moves

Hi there - a quick request: In future, when you move a page (like you did with Dan Lewis), after doing so could you please be so good as to check the incoming links to its former location and update the relevant wikilinks to the new location? It saves other editors from having to do the necessary cleanup work instead. Thank you. Qwghlm 11:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Qwghlm, I'm actually working on the Dan Lewis restructuring at this very minute! (Writing article for the newsy Dan Lewis (newsreader)). Was intending to check on the redirects next, but thanks for reminding me (could've slipped my mind after getting sidetracked, writing an article!) Cheers :-) Bezapt 11:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Cheers, didn't know you were in the middle of sorting it. Thanks for dropping a note on my talk page. Qwghlm 12:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] redirects

Sorry! I may have missed a few double redirects. There used to be a bot that ran every night to automate the process, but I see now it has been disabled. Its a delicate balance between consistency and the most well known names for and actors. The best strategy when you want an author to appear under a truncated name: J.R.R. Tolkien is to add the full name as a redirect, that way the fullname is already occupied and no one can move the article without first deleting the redirect. I have been working to fill in missing middle names for people by going through the obituaries in the New York Times archive, using Google (which isn't always useful, "John J. Smith, US Army" searched for as ["John Smith" Army] gives way too many results) and using the census. Lets move the name back to the truncated version. Cheers. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 15:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dan Lewis - KOMO news anchor

I can partly see where you're coming from, but as a former reporter myself (some freelance work for KOMO TV's weather department in the late '90s), I can firmly say that the use of "news presenter" is not a term used in the United States. I think that if you're going to write an article about an American journalist, you should refer to them as they would be in American terms. Even the vast majority of the American public itself refers to such persons as Dan Lewis, Kathi Goertzen, etc as "news anchors" not "presenters."

In the near-decade I spent in the business, the use of the word "presenter" was unheard of, and on the standard-issue portrait-type photos KOMO uses as autograph material, it lists Dan Lewis as "Anchor/Reporter" - which is his official title at KOMO.Srosenow 98 05:55, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location of the German artillery piece

The M96nA I photographed is actually on display in a war veterans' retirement home here in Sydney, Australia, just outside the home's museum. It's next to a Bofors AA gun, which I also photographed and uploaded to Wikipedia. If you're in Sydney yourself, I could give you an exact address if you'd like.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to your question. —DO'Neil 02:56, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On 8 November 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Walter Abraham (town planner), which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] Image:UffeRavnskov.png

Thanks for uploading Image:UffeRavnskov.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok 22:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Logo-EAIS.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Logo-EAIS.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 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Your moving of Orac (Blake's 7)

I just noticed that you moved Orac (supercomputer) to Orac (Blake's 7) via cut and paste. Please don't do this again. You could have moved the page over the redirect without a problem, and had it not worked you could have put in a request at Requested moves. Now an admin has to come in and perform a history merge because the article must be kept with its history for copyright reasons. I already tagged it for the history merge, just try to be more careful in the future.--Dycedarg ж 06:06, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry Dycedarg, I didn't realise I could have moved a page on top of a redirect. Many apologies, I will know for next time. Is it possible to do the move now, since my mistake is so recent, or is doing the history merge unavoidable? Bezapt 06:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
You can only move pages over a redirect that doesn't have any history. Now that the page has history, an admin is going to have to delete it and move the other page over top of it to merge the histories together. It's not that big an issue, it's just more work for the admins.--Dycedarg ж 06:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kitchen Kenneth A.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kitchen Kenneth A.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.

Please go to the image 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 '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 fair use images 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. (ESkog)(Talk) 15:21, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest

Hi Bezapt. You are off to such a great start on the article Sydney Turpentine-Ironbark Forest that it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. Appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. However, there is a five day from article creation window for Did you know... nominations. Before five days pass from the date the article was created and if you haven't already done so, please consider nominating the article to appear on the Main Page by posting a nomination at Did you know suggestions. If you do nominate the article for DYK, please cross out the article name on the "Good" articles proposed by bot list. Again, great job on the article. -- Jreferee (Talk) 18:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Jreferee! Have nominated article as per your suggestion. Thanks again for the kind words! Bezapt 03:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request help with article Ancient Egypt

As you are listed as a member of Wikiproject:AncientEgypt, I'd like to recruit your help in reviewing the article Ancient Egypt. The article is listed as top priority in the Wikiproject and as a vital article by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, but appears to have failed to meet Good Article criteria at its last nomination. The article is in need of some serious attention.

In the past week, I asked for (and got) the article to be semi-protected to protect against the constant barrage of vandalism. This protection lasts for two weeks. I also did a little clean-up, added a map and so on. I would like to see everyone in Wikiproject:AncientEgypt have the chance to add their input to Ancient Egypt, and get the article up to featured status as soon as possible. I believe the article is at least 80% of the way there, and some focused attention will bring it the rest of the way.

The most pressing concerns seem to be the culture/architecture section, and the achievements/unsolved problems sections. Also, the entire article, especially the achievements section, the sources, and external links need to be seriously checked for accuracy. These sections also require a little organization too.

Ancient Egypt ought to be the top priority of Wikiproject:AncientEgypt, and I look forward to working with everyone to get this article cleaned up and hopefully promoted to featured status. Thanks for your help, Jeff Dahl 03:28, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Logo springbank.png

Thank you for uploading Image:Logo springbank.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BushMechanics.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BushMechanics.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. Project FMF (talk) 22:08, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Cover-BIFAO103.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Cover-BIFAO103.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
