[edit] List of socialist countries

You removed the PROD on the grounds that lack of neutrality is not a reason to delete. I disagree on this point as WP:NPOV is a strict policy. And, in any case, this was just one of several stated reasons to delete. Please reconsider. Colonel Warden (talk) 11:00, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Madonna-Baumblütenfest-Werder-Germany-2007.jpg

If you looked at what was on the talk page you'd have seen that the flickr user is saying he took the photo in Feb 2007 at the Werder spring festival - a festival which doesn't take place until April, and Madonna wasn't on tour in 2007. In any case we have a WP:Reliable Source that the image was not taken by that flickr user and that the rights are owned by the Associated Press. [[1]] . I'll take it to the copyright problems page Bazzargh (talk) 17:25, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Lean limit extension bw.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lean limit extension bw.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

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

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 20:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John Gallaher AfD

I'd invite you to revisit this AfD, as I've found evidence that Gallaher has been a finalist in several other awards including the Walt Whitman Award. Thanks, Espresso Addict (talk) 06:50, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bagh (garden)

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Bagh (garden), without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary and discussing at the talk page. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. I know you were strongly supportive of deleting the page, but misrepresenting the consensus is unhelpful. Stifle (talk) 08:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I have explained it several times; this is Bagh (garden), not Bagh (word). What bagh means in Turkish might not be completely out of line on Bagh, but it has nothing to do with Bagh (garden). If you'll note the AfD, there was a movement to continue to delete Bagh (word) as a whatever because it was so bad, even if Bagh (garden) was acceptable.
I furthermore take offense to the fact that the edit summaries go
→Etymology: delete text; not a dictionary
rv. You must not put the existence of something to vote and then so blatantly change the nature of the entry on which people had been voting!!!! Please have respect for others!!!!
this isn't Bagh (word), which was going to get deleted, and this isn't a dictionary. None of this entomological trivia has any place here
You are acting against the will of the community. If you have a point, lay it out in the talk page and let the community decide
I note nothing in his responses that pertains to content, and it starts out by saying that changing the article content lacks respect for others, a clear violation of WP:OWN. [2] is another example of WP:OWN and borderline personal attacks. I interpret the consensus on AfD as being that Bagh (word) was crap; unlike that, Bagh (garden) might have some encyclopedic potential. Instead of more accusations about the supposed "will of the community" (coming from someone who stomped off a few months ago because his copyvios were getting deleted), I'd like to see some reason to keep that text.--Prosfilaes (talk) 11:37, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I've reminded BF about WP:OWN. Stifle (talk) 11:40, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Madden (solicitor)

Hi, I've never done a 2nd nomination before so not sure about the procedure. I did list on AfD but it disappeared. Will try again. Dreamspy (talk) 15:07, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 2008_Hewa_Bora_Airways_crash

I wasn't trying to editorialize or present a half-truth; Most of the aircraft in our fleet are 25+ years old. We inspect them on a mandated schedule and get fined or penalized when we don't -- Just look at the recent American Airlines incident for a good example of this. AA got busted skating on maintenance and it cost them.

Airplanes are not like your car, they don't just rot away and eventually fall out of the sky when they reach some magic age. We maintain them, upgrade them, and replace parts as they age. Besides that, we don't measure their ages in years, but in pressurization cycles. A heavily-used aircraft wears out much faster than one that sits around idle. I guess I could provide some maintenance logs or something as a source, but I'm not sure I would be allowed to do that, and I don't want to risk my job.

I guess I'm unsure what you want me to do. I'm new to this whole wiki thing, I'm a pilot, and I just want to help people understand what happened without being biased or sensationalistic about it.

[edit] 2008 Hurricane Season

Hi there,

I've just started a new section on the 2008 Hurricane Season talk page to clarify why I made the change I did. Please have a look when you get a chance.

Thanks! AlexTiefling (talk) 10:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Delete discussion on Halichot Sadeh pdf.

Since it seems that you know Hebrew, I would ask you to consult professor Eliezer E. Goldschmidt on his e-mail: goldsmit@agri.huji.ac.il or by phone: 08-94889353, please notify me about what he says because I'm interested the article should remain accessible(maybe you know how to host it on a different address and correct the link to it). Thank You Critisizer (talk) 18:56, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Aozora Bunko

Will you please take a further look at Aozora Bunko? I hope this revision of the text is somewhat responsive to the core of critical comments you've tried to express? Perhaps you'll be able to see that I've at least tried to figure out what caused you to reference WP:COATRACK. You may notice that I've added to the categories and to the stub-tags; and maybe we can hope that these additions will attract the attention of editors willing to help improve this article.--Tenmei (talk) 19:21, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
