[edit] Re: Inside

I don't think it's an inconvenience to merge the page histories. You're right that there isn't much content, but I think there is a preference to preserve page histories whenever possible. Since the article with the foreign title was created before the article with the English title, the merge should be very easy for the admin who does it. After the merge, the article will have just the redirect in its page history. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 01:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Helsinki Times

Excuse me, but you seem to be in the process of nominating a just-created article for deletion. Since Finnish is a fairly obscure language, can you explain what steps you've taken to make sure that the subject is not article-worthy and it's not just the article's present state that needs a tune-up? If you haven't, why is getting the article deleted preferable to finding a Finn on this international project of ours and asking him to check up on the matter? --Kiz o r 19:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I nominated it for deletion because it was one of many labeled as being "conflict of interest" by User:AlexNewArtBot. Maybe I was a bit overzealous in nominating, but most of the articles listed with it were speedily deleted as well, and it came off to me as being self-promotion. I hate it when I see self-promotional articles that come off as advertisements.--CyberGhostface (talk) 19:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Alright, its withdrawn.--CyberGhostface (talk) 19:41, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. :) We need people who are willing to change direction when appropriate a lot more than people who never have to. I am not certain about the eventual fate of the article, just that it has a factual and non-trivial basis. I cleaned the article up after Dhartung did and added what I could on short notice. --Kiz o r 21:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:CyberGhostface#Standard_Permission_Form

Just a note to say that while this is a good idea, the message at WP:COPYREQ is probably better. Your message gets Creative Commons and GFDL mixed up, doesn't explain what CC-BY stands for, and says that copyright holders should "give permission", when an email with just "permission" will result in the image being deleted under CSD:I3. Let me know if you'd like help redrafting it. Stifle (talk) 16:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Could you show me the best "casual" message to use for asking for permission? Thanks.--CyberGhostface (talk) 18:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thanks!

Hey, thanks for the barnstar. What a nice surprise! You made my day. Cheers, Melty girl 04:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adult Stars Magazine

...is coming back, modified. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:35, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I knew all of that, because I deleted it twice, and protected it. The author has demanded in email to "let the public decide." So, go for it. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:52, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

I reviewed the CSD and didn't find a valid cat for books and mags, so I AFD'd it myself. "Let the community decide"! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:56, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Mmm, salty. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 11:50, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Walkin' Dude

As soon as I have some time to sit down I'll take a look. I'll try and go back through the FACs and peer reviews and see what people have said about it. I would first go over to the League of Copyeditors and find one of their active editors (see the "List of members") to get someone to copyedit the article. I'd suggest Sean ODuibher, who copyedited Friday the 13th (franchise) fo rme just the other day. He's pretty good, and generally quick about it. That's one thing I noticed from a quick glance at the last FAC, that the writing was criticized. I can already seen some areas where I can reorganize some sections, but like I said, it'll have to wait till I have enough free time. Right now I'm on my lunch break from work, and I won't be back home for hours. It may have to wait till this weekend, but hopefully I will be able to get to it earlier. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 18:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it could be expanded more, especially in the "Impact" section, but also that "Concept and creation" section. We need more info on how his concept has changed (or hasn't changed) with each novel. We cannot say that the article is "comprehensive" if we don't cover that type of info over all his novel appearances. As far as images go, first we need to pick one for the film section. That's a small section to have two pictures and I don't think we need either. I think the Fangoria image would better be served in the "Impact" section, with some discussion on Flagg appearing on the cover of the magazine. As far as Walter O'Dim goes, you would need commentary on Flagg's appearance as O'Dim (i.e. an actual description of his appearance). BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:00, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Also, the lead needs to be rewritten to include a summary of the whole article. Check out Jason Voorhees or Jack Sparrow for good examples. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 02:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

The interview is fine to use as a source. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 11:16, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ric Cabot Podmore

It seems like the assertions of notability were obvious, even if they weren't properly supported, or even if they're not true. A7 indicates that mere assertions of notability circumvent speedy deletion (I usually read that to be reasonable assertions, not just "Billy is graet!!1!one!"). Try AFD; it should go through quickly if it's a hoax or has no verifiability. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Stand DVD

I'll check out the DVD for stuff about the makeup, I don't know that there is ton, but I believe there is a bit about how long it took. Leafschik1967 (talk) 20:24, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] notifying

You're doing good work placing speedies, most of them anyway. But please notify the editors who submitted the articles. It is not strictly required exactly, but it is considered polite, & almost everyone does it. Use the linked message that appears on the speedy template after you've saved the article. This has the additional advantage that in cases of spam and copyvio, it also leaves a warning. DGG (talk) 21:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bloodline2005.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bloodline2005.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 08:17, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bontsilverage.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Bontsilverage.JPG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 10:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Furio giunta.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Furio giunta.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 07:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rossrs (talk) 07:30, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the source so quickly. I didn't want to see the image deleted but I couldn't find the source myself. Rossrs (talk) 14:24, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikicookie

I am awarding you this WikiCookie for your constructive edits on Wikipedia--LAA Fan 16:33, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Duma whole.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Duma whole.jpg. 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. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 14:06, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] speedy/merge

Yes, Gandalf (dog) is almost certainly not worth an article unless conceivably he plays a really central role in the fiction, but only real people & things can be deleted via speedy as non notable. Either use prod, or just do a merge to the book. DGG (talk) 15:53, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry about that...

Sorry I reverted you on that Sopranos image, but tweaking just the rationale really doesn't solve the problem there. -- Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:35, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wolf Hunter

I don't see how any one has a right to delete some ones work from here. Wikipedia is a Encyclopedia for people to gain knowledge about things in life, pop culture and things from around the world. The Wolf Hunter film it's self is a film that has lots of fans and supporters as does the character. I think just because its not as well known as Freddy or Jason does not mean it should not be on here. I have already seen that some one else has edited the article as well. I think that if this does go off its a shame and what kind of Encyclopedia for the people rob people from learning about films and characters from a independent film.

[edit] Article of Focus Department created

I was debating wether or not I should give you the message I'm giving everyone else, but decided not to because of your former involvement in the discussion. Anyways, point is the department's been made and we're awaiting votes. It's up to you. --MwNNrules (talk) 18:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Second nomination is up. --MwNNrules (talk) 07:26, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Christian Hadsund

FYI, "apparently non-notable based on Google hits" is not a criterion for speedy deletion. (I deleted it anyway, though, because even when machine-translated it's clearly patent nonsense.) ~~ N (t/c) 04:57, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WP: Stephen King

You expressed intrest in a Stephen King WikiProject a few days ago, just wanted to let you know that one has been officially proposed here. If you're still interested in joining, feel free to add your name to the list. Thanks! Black ngold29 11:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Hurleylost.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hurleylost.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 11:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
