[edit] Karen Cashman

Yes, there's almost certainly a case for a longer block. Let's let this one expire but I'll put a note on the page stating the next time a block is warranted, it should probably be an indefinite block. --Yamla 18:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:KarenCahman.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:KarenCahman.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 21:22, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I took this from [1] which says NOTE: These pictures have been displayed for the development of our program. You may download them onto your computer. Please use them respectfully. I felt that covered wikipedia use - what do you think? Dlyons493 Talk 21:53, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, no, I'm afraid that doesn't quite cover it. Personal use (like downloading to your computer) is pretty much allowed for anything. What we need for Wikipedia is explicit permission from them to release the image under GFDL or some other compatable free license. If we don't have any such permission (not merely "permission to use") the only way to use the image wold be to claim fair use, read Wikipedia:Fair use for details and our critereas for using fair use. Either way the image need a copyright tag if it is not to be deleted. --Sherool (talk) 22:02, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Minor Farscape characters

Just copy/pasting it into Farscape is sloppy. The world isn't going to end by having the articles around until someone does a proper merge. Kotepho 22:25, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia isn't an encyclopedia though. Even if it says it is trying to be that doesn't make it one. I don't think the material is worth its own article, but surely List of Farscape characters or somesuch is not abhorrent. Kotepho 22:43, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Facty

Even if it was the real definition it would still belong in wiktionary (which does not have a definition for it). I noted that M-W has a def. for it too on the talk page. Kotepho 22:55, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

As for nn or not, I think Colbert and his words have gotten enough media attention for it to be notable. Kotepho 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think M-W would use his definition (at least, not yet) but it seems notable enough to me. The only part of wiktionary's inclusion policy it does not seem to meet is the year long usage. Kotepho 23:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Engaged?

Good for her! Where is she from? Hopefully, they won't live there -things are not that well there. I bet it is better wherever it is she now lives. I decided to leave this message here instead of the other wiki -no need for the guys there to find personal details of yours (that community being smaller - people tend to be a bit more curious). And you? Where do you live? I spend my time between Asia (mostly Thailand where I spent most of the last 5 years) and Venezuela (where I spend most of 2005). In 2006 so far I have shared it 50 - 50 between each. Cheers. Anagnorisis 00:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] List of Poets

Hi, I think that categories are generally more useful than lists. The two arguments for lists are that annotations can be added and that red links may encourage article creation. When the list doesn't have annotations that's the first raison d'etre gone. But if it's a long-standing and maintained list and the poet is clearly notable enough to warrant an article, then maybe it's best to leave the red link rather than deleting it. I wouldn't just unlink it. Dlyons493 Talk 14:47, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

WayneRay 14:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)WayneRay Thanks for the reply, my concern was that first timers were lazy and thought they had to only put their name on a list and not create an article. As I have had only one responcse to my dead link cleanups, I will leave them and cease continuing the cleanups and see what comments come in of=ver time. In the other area of expertise = botony and horticulture, I feel the same, if there is no article then there should be no link. I am endeavouring to add articles and photos from my extensive botanical collection to enhance wiki entries.


[edit] Iloveadama

Iloveadama has been blocked indefinitely. --Yamla 20:43, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] FYROM or Republic of Macedonia

After extensive edit warring, article protection, and the statement of the extended version supporting side regarding both the name of the article, and the intro paragraph, a poll has been placed. The brief version supporting side is to keep the name of the article AND the intro paragraph free of the UN name (FYROM). Keep in mind that you can select more than one of the options (8! to the moment) that may suit you. Please participate in the vote and ask other editors you know to do so too.  NikoSilver  (T) @ (C) 15:41, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Kusma's RfA

Hello, Dlyons493! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship. If you ever have problems that you could use my assistance with or see me doing stupid things with my new buttons, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 02:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] TDD/Danube

perhaps, but i haven't really found anything to indicate it in the lore itself. it seems to be a fairly recent, apparently neopagan interpretation. if it can't be cited with examples from the extant lore, it should probably be removed. Whateley23 14:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] JSDC again

But describing plans for the future is not looking into a crystal ball, is it? The plans exists right now and mentioning their existance would be stating a verifiable fact, wouldn't it? For example, the article on Google describes their partnership with NASA and their respective plans. The fact that those plans exists is a verifiable fact, as are those of our project.

Anyway, I just reworded it a little, removing that "the future holds".

Anything else? :-)

P.S. AJAX is really nothing new, it's just a new cool word. D.S.
P.P.S. Now the page diplays this weird error?? {{subst:empty template|You forgot to subst this template. Replace {{prod|whatever}} with {{subst:prod|whatever}}}} D.D.S.


Ok... So the article is still up for deletion even though i have corrected it? Now I'm a bit stumped...Was i completely out there on my last remark (the one above, that is) since you choose to not respond to it?

Bfs007 22:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Since the existence- or non-existence of this article, after some discussion, has boiled down to subjective opinion, i removed the proposed deletion tag. I someone re-adds it, the debate will continue. But since it's just an article about a non-commercial sourceforge project, i think it might be quite safe. But i'll watch it, fiercely debating if someone dares to suggest any lack of grandure on either the part of the article or the project. :-)

[edit] Gambotto redirects

Responded on my talk page. -- JLaTondre 21:56, 23 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Nonnotable poet

If the PRODs on the two articles work and the articles are deleted, I hope the problem goes away. I have just reverted a couple of edits of the IP you mentioned, but unfortunately can't investigate much more right now (I'm more or less on wikibreak for the next two weeks). If the PROD fails, I am pretty sure AfD will delete the two articles (that should otherwise be merged). Sorry that I can't be of much more help right now (should have announced my wikibreak before I started travelling), all the best, Kusma (討論) 11:58, 25 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Are you a bot?

If I am corret, I think that WP:1000 lists you as a bot. This is incorrect right??ßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 08:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Quantum GIS

Hi you recently responded to the AfD discussion for Quantum GIS saying it did not look like an advert. But to me certain points, which I have pointed out in the discussion page, looks otherwise. Could you kindly have a look? --soUmyaSch 13:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Re:203.213.7.130

Hi, thanks for the heads-up. I'm not an admin though. Still I have warned the anon & if he vandalises again I will report it to WP:AIV from where some admin can come & block him.

Cheers

[edit] Notability of Olympians

Well, I said consensus, not policy. The consensus was discussed at several pages referred to in some heated deletion discussions related to the Olympic Wikiprojects a few months back. I think it's easier to point to categories like these [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] as evidence of the consensus. The last one, I think, makes my point pretty clearly, it gives subcategories for Olympic competitors by nation, plus a link to a parallel set of Olympic medalists by nation.

[edit] Communes

I have some of the programming needed to do commune stubs completed but the problem is finding the time to do the remaining work. If you look at the Arrondissement articles and my postings on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject French communes you'll get an idea of what I'm planning. Dlyons493 19:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey Dlyons, you basically mean automated stub+infobox creation? Do you need a hand with any of this? (I've been looking at the Dutch municipalities and French communes projects and decided we should do the same for Australian towns and cities, not so much from a Nationalistic inspiration but just one of providing information about every location in a country). — Донама 06:43, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Joze Abram

Re yr summary question, the way to find the answer is via JA's What-links-here. If i read it correctly, it was speedy-nom-ed, transfered to an AfD, and then speedied after all.
Rattle the bars on my talk page if you want to know more abt the revision history of the deleted bio, which would probably give at least one more name than can be found in the AfD and the logs.
