Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Sports (Just a note to myself)

ATTN: From this point forth my activity will be limited to sports related topics, and then typically to administrative, statistical, and stub-creation tasks. If this is in regards to other articles, you are free to post here, but I do not currently feel comfortable editing on any topics that could at some point be deemed controversial until the situation over the legal responsibility of users for edits is resolved. I sincerely hope I've never made edits to a page that have upset their subject enough for this to be an issue for me personally, and I do not believe I have, but I still would like to make sure that those situations do not arise. Some may not agree with this decision, and it is made for a self-serving purpose, but I ask that it be respected nonetheless. Thanks.

[edit] WP France newsletter

The layout is there and also some content but due to lack of time during the recent past I was unable to bring it to the final 'publication suitable' form. Perhaps you could help me in giving the final touches? STTW (talk) 11:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Europe Proposal

Hi, I see you're a member of the European Microstates project. I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in a new "WikiProject:Europe"? It would cover non-EU pan European elements and more national elements where there isn't a project to cover it (e.g. there is no project for Slovenia). Microstates might also want to become a taskforce of the project to keep down overheads etc as there are just a few members. I am just trying to get an idea of numbers before I propose it but if you have comments on the idea please see the Discussion on WPEU. Thanks for your time! - J Logan t: 08:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Andorra2005logo.jpg. 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.

Hi! I'm happy that you like my idea. I tell you that i don't speak english very well and so please forgive my mistakes.

We have to look for that. Another thing.. unfortunately you have to do the most of the work .. i'm not very expert in en.wiki and I can only give you an help.

[edit] Bossacucanova

When I saw the page, that's all I saw, and the most that I could see about notability was their nomination for a award. Looking again at WP:MUSIC, I erred. Apologies, I'll remove the tag and your {hangon} now. --Rodhullandemu 02:49, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FL Main page proposal

You nominated a current WP:FLC. As such, you are the type of editor whose opinion I am soliciting. We now have over 400 featured lists and seem to be promoting in excess of 30 per month of late (41 in August and 42 in September). When Today's featured article (TFA) started (2004-02-22), they only had about 200 featured articles and were barely promoting 20 new ones per month. I think the quality of featured lists is at least as good as the quality of featured articles was when they started appearing on the main page. Thus, I am ready to open debate on a proposal to institute a List of the Day on the main page with nominations starting November 1, 2007, voting starting December 1, 2007 and main page appearances starting January 1, 2008. For brevity, the proposal page does not discuss the details of eventual main page content, but since the work has already been done, you should consider this proposal assuming the eventual main page will resemble either an excerpted list format or an abbreviated text format. The proposal page does not debate whether starting with weekly list main page entries would be better than daily entries. However, I suspect persons in favor of weekly lists are really voicing opinions against lists on the main page since neither TFA nor Picture of the day started as weekly endeavors, to the best of my knowledge. Right now debate seems to be among support for the current selective democratic/consensus based proposal, a selective dictatorial approach like that used at WP:TFA or a non-selective first in line/calendar approach like that used at WP:POTD. See the List of the Day proposal and comment at WP:LOTDP and its talk page.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 16:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Newsletter n°1

Bonjour and welcome to the first WikiProject France newsletter!! It should become a monthly special of our project, but until the next issue, here are some points to consider for the month:

  • In an effort to determine the active members from the inactive, all members are asked to simply sign on my special userpage.
  • I have slightly rearranged and updated the Project page, putting all the featured lists in collapsible tables. This unclutteres the page and you only have to see them if you want to. Give your feelings at the talk page.
  • I have made a Wikipedia advert for our project, Image:Qxz-ad108.gif, what do you think? Personally I feel the words need improving ...
  • There are still map problems at Template:French commune - any help at resolving them would be greatly appreciated.
  • What about starting a monthly drive? We currently have no Featured Portals (except for the Basque Portal which really isn't French any way), so how about improving Portal:France??? I don't know what's exactly wrong but the criteria can be seen at Wikipedia:Featured portal criteria.

It doesn't seem like a lot, so I hope we will still have enough problems for nexts months issue. Salut till the next issue, ChrisDHDR (17:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)).

Sure, of course :-) I made a mistake and I apologise. Thanks for your understanding! :-) ScarianCall me Pat 19:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for the advise. Actually I usually tag articles asking for citation. But, most of the time, active authors working on those articles do not care much. Interestingly when I tagged them for AfD by twisting (but not breaking) the policy mentioning that those articles don't have enough (sometime not a single) citation, they took it really seriously. To be very honest, my intention was to improve quality of Wikipedia, not to attack some particular article or author. And, I do also agree that this is actually misuse of policy. So here goes a promise, I won't do this in future. Cheers. -- Niaz(Talk • Contribs) 18:51, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tri-Metro Conference Teams

In order to get the v-d-e {{Navbox}} needs to be used. Here's two examples using Navbox. Which one do you think looks better?

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Karin Lowachee

This AFD was archived before I could reply. I agree that AFD is for deciding whether a n article should be kept, rather than a tool for improvement, but many times I have added refs as a result of seeing an article at AFD which improved it so that it was a far better article than when it was nominated. Thus it is a frequent side effect of AFD nomination. I have also tagged many articles as unreferenced. I did this to a number of articles a year ago, and reviewing them, I see many now have references. I don't know if the references resulted from someone moinitoring the list of articles tagged as unreferenced, or if it would have happened anyway. In a few puzzling cases, someone added references, but left the "unreferenced" tag. Some languish with no refs other than hyperlinks to other Wikipedia articles, such as He Shi Bi and Thermal optimum. Some had the "unreferenced" tag removed without any reference being added [1]. I "re-tagged" the latter article. Edison (talk) 01:03, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Sorry the talk page is so long. I have to "re-figure out" how to archive the old stuff. Edison (talk) 15:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] regarding Image:Cont gssemblem.gif

Please read WP:RAT. It states: A detailed fair use rationale. A separate rationale must be provided each time the image is used in an article. The name of the article the image is used in must be included in the rationale. Whether or not the name of the article is elsewhere is irrelevant. It needs to be in the rationale section.--Rockfang (talk) 09:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your help

Thanks for your help so far of the Aoife Hoey (bobsleigh) article. I really appreciate it. Chris (talk) 16:46, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

I will not argue with you on that though have they ever deleted an article proposed by an anonymous IP before? If that happens, then Wikipedia as a project unto itself will have lost all order. Chris (talk) 22:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that last week and I sent it to WP:AN/I though I got a luke warm response. Ditto with the abusive ISPs. They can only act on the ISPs when one of them has been blocked a minimum of five times. Chris (talk) 23:51, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
I have exposed the links in Hoey and in another female Irish triple jumper earlier tonight. Whoever is doing it seems to be pretty focused on their deletions and almost nonsensical in their efforts. Chris (talk) 04:02, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
It looks as if I have ticked this user off with him coming back with the accusations on the editing though the IP evidence is beginning to prove my point. I have a strange feeling there will be repercussions on this that we have forseen. Chris (talk) 14:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I have also sent heads up to other users who are involved in the fight to keep Sharon Foley that we have the Dublin connection involved on this. One of them though is an administrator, so let's see how that plays out. Chris (talk) 16:33, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
The Aoife Hoey article (formerly Aoife Hoey (bobsleigh)) was kept. I have sent a message with an administrator involved in the Sharon Foley article about this user (or users) from Dublin, Ireland to keep an eye out for this user because we may have won this battle, but this promises to be a long fight, IMO. Chris (talk) 15:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
The same user from Dublin tried to get both the Hoey and the Foley articles through deletion review after he lost, but he was turned down. We have a real vandal on our hands, IMO. Chris (talk) 15:57, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I am hitting this user with vandalism level 3 warnings on all of the Dublin, Ireland IPs as a warnings of taking no prisoners. This is going to be a long fight I fear. Chris (talk) 16:17, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
It turns out he has also hit on the Alex Higgins article who was an Irish snooker player in the early 1990s. The main editor of that article is aware of this as well. The Dublin user is definitely POVing and vandalism. We have three or four administrators watching several of these article to see if this user(s) stirkes again which I suspect he might. Chris (talk) 15:07, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Martiniano Ferreira Botelho

Dear Matt,

I red your message on the uppon mentionned page. I am sceptic about this article, because I searched for the titles and ISBN mentionned in the OCLC database and found nothing, please, have a look at ISBN 9729813701. I tried on Google books as well with "Martiniano Ferreira Botelho", but nothing. The only references about this person on the Internet are Wikipedia. If you can find any reliable reference about this person, please do not hesitate to let me know or add it directly in the article. Best regards. SalomonCeb (talk) 01:16, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer. No problem, I have myself the same reaction when someone ask for deletion of an article which is present on others WP. In this case, I studied more carefuly the only reference that was first given but I found nothing. Since the other references were given, I did same and nothing again. My last search was on Google and there, I found the only occurences were WP and blogs and websites of the article's writer. I am not a suppressionnist myself, but in this case, I do an exception. Best regards. SalomonCeb (talk) 08:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jeremy Stenberg

The original article which was created last year was not very good and one could argue about how notable Stenberg is. However, the reason that the article has been speedy deleted twice due to vandalism. The version that I deleted read simply "has tourette's". Now, a conscientious admin might have checked the earlier versions to see if there was a legitimate article behind the vandalism. Apparently, I either didn't check or was underwhelmed by the non-vandalized original page. You could make a case for restoring the original page but it was pretty awful and it would be better to write a real article instead of fighting to restore the old page.

Just because the article was deleted doesn't mean you are prohibited from creating a new one as long as the new article meets Wikipedia standards and is incompliance with Wikipedia policies.

I have restored the original article to User:Matt91486/Jeremy Stenberg. Please improve it and then move it into article namespace.

Happy editing, --Richard (talk) 07:54, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

I saw your question on No57s talkpage. The main reason the criteria have been deemed no good is that edirors went to Wikipedia:Deletion review en masse citing the new criteria as the reason that their conference player should be undeleted, clogging the system, Deletion Review needed that to stop (obviously) so they undermined the criteria. I have basically given up, I hoped for a set of simple, coherent criteria by consensus, applicable to world football, believing that it would be better than Anglo-centric notability by precedent with reference to one sentence on WP:BIO, but it's been shot down. I think I'll just go back to creating articles, Wikipedia policy is obviously set in stone. (Oh and I changed my name) English peasant 21:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] St. Anthony

Officially, the city is named St. Anthony: you'll not find a "village" reference from the Census, and the city website speaks of the "City of St. Anthony". As the about page notes, it's "also affectionately called "The Village" by locals". Local nicknames don't trump official names.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Alotroladoposter.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Alotroladoposter.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. 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 escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
