[edit] Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon merge proposal

Please weigh in on the merger proposal between Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon and Linguistics and the Book of Mormon. I saw that you were a recent contributor of one of the pages in question, and thought you would be interested.--Descartes1979 (talk) 21:35, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Val42! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

--Zeitgespenst (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the invitation. However, while I am of German ancestry, I do not speak or write German, so I will not be able to contribute to the German-speaking Wikipedia. — Val42 (talk) 03:56, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon merge proposal

Val - unless you have a strong opinion about it, I think the consensus is to merge Chiasmus in the Book of Mormon into the relevant section of Linguistics and the Book of Mormon. Please let me know if you have a problem with that so we can discuss further. It seems you are the only person who thinks it shouldn't be merged. --Descartes1979 (talk) 07:25, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I seem to have lost that argument. But I still think that it will grow large enough to be split into its own article again. — Val42 (talk) 15:55, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
How about as a compromise, we merge them for now, and if the material grows enough then we split it out? I think that some people think (myself included) it won't grow enough to be notable in and of itself, which obviously you disagree with. If the section gets big and bulky by itself, perhaps we can revisit this discussion. --Descartes1979 (talk) 22:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Isn't that what I agreed to already? — Val42 (talk) 23:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] peer review

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality!

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:TracksToTelluride-tab.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:TracksToTelluride-tab.jpg. 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. —Remember the dot (talk) 04:42, 28 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:CantStop-sm.png

Thanks for uploading Image:CantStop-sm.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 03:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation


Red Dwarf WikiProject Invitation

[edit] AfD nomination of Back to the Future timeline

An editor has nominated Back to the Future timeline, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Back to the Future timeline (3rd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
