Thank you very much for signing up for the July Backlog Elimination Drive! The copyedit backlog stretches back two and a half years, all the way back to the beginning of 2008! We're really going to need all the help we can to get it down to a manageable number. We've ambitiously set a goal of clearing all of 2008 from the backlog this month. In order to do that, we're going to need more participants. Is there anyone that you can invite or ask to participate with you? If so, we're offering an award to the person who brings in the most referrals. Just notify ɳorɑfʈ  Talk! or Diannaa  TALK of who your referrals are. Once again, thanks for your support!

Herocore
I noticed you started an afd for Hero Core. You might want to include Iji with it, as both were made by the same person (who's article has already been deleted, apparently). - Warthog Demon  21:13, 11 June 2010 (UTC)


 * You may want to do that, but Hero Core has seen some improvement since you nominated it, and seems* to be headed for a Keep.  (talk) 21:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC) *Of course, my view of the consensus may be somewhat slanted.
 * Yes, I agree decltype. Seems I was wrong :(. I have no reason to believe Iji doesn't meet the guidelines for inclusion. I nominate only by a case-by-case basis. Airplaneman   ✈  01:31, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually didn't even notice that it seems that one article seems to be here to stay. If I had, I wouldn't have brought this up. My bad. - Warthog Demon  01:44, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the warm welcome!
Hello Airplaneman, Thank you so much for the welcome message and the chocolate chip cookies! They're definitely one of my favourite kinds. I really appreciate you offering to help in wikipedia. I'm pretty sure I'll need help at some point soon too :-)

If I knew how, I'd for sure send you a glass of cold milk or perhaps, post cookies, a glass of cold beer?

Anyways, I really appreciate the welcome, and I love that plane photo! Does this mean I should look for a picture for my profile? Yikes! More wikipedia stuff to learn. How bout that huh?

Bye for now.

 * Hello! Thanks for dropping by :). There are directions for how to give a cookie at Template:Cookie, for example. As for the plane photo, I think it's a unicode symbol - a fellow editor found it for me and I found it nice. That's why I have it in my signature as well as on my user page (our word for profile here). Read the userpage link for more info (you may also want to visit the userpage design center). User pages are not required, though, and editing articles is encouraged over designing personal pages. This is to minimize social networking, which is frowned upon (conversations related to Wikipedia, on the other hand, are encouraged). You can sign your username with the time of your edit by typing ~ . When saving, Wikipedia will convert it to your signature. It was my pleasure to welcome you - we can always do with more contributors ;). Happy editing, Airplaneman   ✈  01:28, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

User:AlexNewArtBot - New Article Bot
Hi, I have made a new feed for the New Article bot. The bot reads all the new articles for a day and puts suspected appleinc-related articles into User:AlexNewArtBot/appleincSearchResult, the articles are suppose to be manually put into the portal page and/or removed if irrelevant. Or whatever you want to do with them.

The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/appleinc, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/appleincLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log). Please contact me if you are interested in the fine tuning of the rules

That is all. Any suggestions are welcome. — m o n o

documentary evidence
Dear Mr Airplaneman,

Two or three days ago I sent you a lot of photos taken by me offering evidence and sources about Andreas Savvides. I also begged you warmly to write his biography, since I am not expert in writing biographies. We see so many biofraphies of persons in Wikipedia who in fact are not so notable. Why then not to write the biography of a person with so many talents?

I sent you the photos though "photosubmission@wikimedia.org" because I don't know any other way to send them. I got extremely tired in gathering all that evidence. Have they given them to you?

Meanwhile,I'd like to help by translating into English anything you want to (even medical vocabulary). Please don't hesitate to ask my help. Just send the document you want me to translate, to my e-mail address: "chrdemosthenous (at) cytanet (dot) com (dot) cy".I can translate from Greek into English anything regardless of the kind of contents.

Dear Airplaneman, where are you going to pass your holidays this summer? My plane has landed at your "talk page airport". Are you ready for a flight with it?

Your's sincerely, Christakis DemosthenousCHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 19:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello Mr. Demosthenous. I've tweaked the code on your email so spam bots don't pick it up. I think you sent the email to Wikipedia, not me, as indicated in your post (photosubmission@wikimedia.org is not my email address). You may directly upload the picture to Wikipedia if it is free (make sure it passess this policy. See WP:IMAGE for a guide and related pages. As long as you do that, it should be OK.


 * It pains me to say I tagged the biography you submitted on Andreas Savvides because, as the note says on your talk page, it did not have references, something required for biographies on Wikipedia as a buffer against false and potentially libelous material. I do not find pleasure in asking administrators to delete somebody's hard work (on the other hand, I relish the chance to annihilate vandalism!) Someone else then tagged the page as being a recreation of something deleted from a discussion, in this case, Articles for deletion/THE HISTORY OF THE CYPRUS OLYMPIC COMMITTEE. I think that Andreas Savvides was a major part of the article. See this as well. Now, on to how you may be able to create this article, once and for all!


 * I am very grateful for this encyclopedia that you and other users, especially new users, come and give their valuable time to enrich the knowledge of others. That being said, not everyone may have an article on the encyclopedia. They must be notable first. I think this guy is notable enough, so that is one passed. You need to make a claim of notability without making the article sound like an ad or a resume. Also, sources have to be reliable and verified. It'd be awesome if you can translate any Greek sources you have found that meet these criteria (I neither have the time nor the motivation to do research myself right now—I'm reviewing an article for good article status and am otherwise generally busy in real life). I'd be more than glad to help you write it: you or I can ask an administator to un-delete Andreas Haralambous Savvides to User talk:CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS/Andreas Haralambous Savvides where it will be out of harm's way. Regards, Airplaneman   ✈  21:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Dear Airplaneman,
 * Last night I landed at "Andreas Savvides" airport in the country of "Facebook". I saw some interesting profile, and also about 80 photos of him from his arthletic life. Please come to "Facebook", and look for "Andreas Savvides". Tell me if we can use some information from there.


 * Note: The word "air" comes from the Greek word αέρας (aeras)= wind. "air + plane" in Greek means "something which is moving in the air".


 * Yours sincerely,


 * CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 13:24, 26 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Charls Andre/Andreas Savvides and User:EGLI ANDREOU/ANDREAS SAVVIDES - THE HERCULES OF CYPRUS might help shed some light on this... Christikis: if the information is not published in independent reliable sources then we cannot use it; also, there are guidelines for notability that help us determine whether an article should be created or not.  WP:V, WP:RS and WP:IS explain sourcing, WP:N and WP:BIO explain notability (ignore my shorthand and click the links) --Jubilee♫ clipman  13:49, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman,

I have read your instructions, for which I thank you. I'll try now to rewrite the article "ANDREAS SAVVIDES", in such a way that it would sound like an article rather than a biography. I have also learnt how to make references to sourcces used. Since it is very difficult to mention tens of the existing sources in every word or sentence I write, I will mention only one, two or three. Also, because of the huge difficulties I meet, I will write only one, two or three paras every time, so that you can be able to review the written work carefully and make any suggestions. Thanks a lot for yopur help.

Yours sincerely, Christakis Demosthenous

Now, let's begin work. CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 15:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good :). I'll check in once in a while and help; if you need my attention, just tell right here. Regards, Airplaneman   ✈  20:05, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman, Of course I need your your attention, as well as your help. How can I swim in the Wikipedia ocean, without your attention and help? Which I appreciate too much. Last night I began the article in the sandbox, but I have lost it. So, I'll begin it again, slowly-slowly, in my talk page. Yours sincerelyCHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 12:37, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay, let's get started. First off, you should not sign article edits. I'll make some changes to User:CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS/Sandbox. Please look at what I'm doing and the summaries I provide so you can learn more about how to write Wikipedia articles. And of course, ask away :). Airplaneman   ✈  04:21, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I notice you are using many quotes from sources. This is not desirable in this free encyclopedia, as the sources are most likely copyrighted and therefore not free. What you need to do is compile information from the reliable sources you have provided and write in your own words. Another thing I highly recommend trying out is the "Cite" tab in your editing toolbar. It is easier than typing out a reference manually and has a standardized format. Airplaneman   ✈  04:29, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman, Thanks to your help, I have finished the article. Now I'd like to upload 3 photos, two of which were published in Agon newspaper, and showing A. Savvides doing some strength feats. The third photo is from the magazine Figuretteand shows A. Savvides posing during the Mr Cyprus, 1969 contest. I have taken photos with my digital camera of these three photos. Now I'd like to know if the following procedure is correct: 1. I have located the two copyright owners of these photos (now pensionists), and I'm going to ask them to write and sign a "Declaration of consent for all enquiries". 2. I'll upload a file containing these three photos, as soon as I have the declaration of consent. 3. I'll scan the Declarations of consent, and include them in the uploaded file. What else is it necessary to do? Yours sincerely, CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 20:19, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman, As I said above, I took photos with my digital camera of three photos published in a newspaper and a magazine. Now, I am going to ask the copyright owners of the published photos to sign a "Declaration of consent". However, I have some questions: (1) Who is the copyright owner of the photos produced with my camera? If I am the copyright owner of the recently taken photos, shall I have to sign and submit a "Declaration of consent" myself (in addition to the declarations that will be signed by the copyright owners of the published photos)? It was indeed very difficult to answer this question myself. (2) Can the copyright owners agree to choose only the "GNU Free Documentation License (unversional, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts or back-cover texts? Or do they have to choose also the "Creative Commons ..."? (3) Is there any disadvantage, if they choose the option "release that work into the public domain"? Thanks a lot. Yours sincerely, CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 14:46, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I am not totally sure about images, as that is not my area of expertise. I do not think you may take pictures of pictures with your camera and claim them as yours. To obtain permission, I think you'll have to go through OTRS. I'm going to ask an administrator for confirmation and additional suggestions. Airplaneman   ✈  17:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * More: If you look at WP:NFC, you'll see that it is unacceptable to use copyrighted images in articles when a free alternative is possible to obtain. So I think the only way to go is to get official confirmation through OTRS to get a "ticket" to verify that you have permission for the photo. If at all possible, look for free images or take one of the person yourself :). Airplaneman   ✈  17:34, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Christakis, in response to your three questions:
 * 1) If you took the photographs yourself with your own camera, you are the copyright holder.
 * 2) You may license it under any license that you wish. If you wish to only license it under the GNU Free Documentation License, simply add when you upload the image.
 * 3) If you choose to release your work into the public domain, people are not legally obligated to attribute you as the photographer, which they would be if you release it under the GFDL. NW ( Talk ) 22:19, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, NW. Christakis, please note that NW is assuming the pictures are taken by you and are not pictures of copyrighted works, in which case you would have to go through OTRS or find a free alternative. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 22:35, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Mr Airplaneman and Mr NW. Thanks a lot for your valuable help. Fortunately, I found 9 free old photos which I composed into one, and then I took a photo of it with my digital camera. Now, I'll unload the photo, and add when I upload it. Yours sincerely. CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 11:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds fine, as long as the photos are free. If they are from magazines or newspapers, for instance, they probably aren't. If they are copyrighted, I'm afraid you'll have to go without a photo for the article unless free alternatives can be found. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 12:54, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I am afraid I misunderstood your original post. Unfortunately, taking a picture of something that is itself copyrighted, such as a photograph more recent than 1923, does not make you the copyright holder. Airplaneman is correct here. NW ( Talk ) 14:00, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Article about A. Savvides
Dear Airplaneman,

Not only I am drowned, I also have lost your plane from my radar.Help!!! The word "Edit" has disappeared from our talk page, so I open a new one. Now, I tried to upload a photo, that I intend to insert in the article I have written with your valuable help about "Andreas Savvides". I can't find the "upload file" in the side bar/toolbox. Where is it hidden? Thanks too much.CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 12:53, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It is located under the "Toolbox" as the sixth one down. -- Nascar 1996   Contributions /  Guestbook  14:05, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It should be there - I see it. Try purging your cache and see. Go to the main page and it should be there. As for the "edit" button, I still see that as well. I'm putting this back in the old thread as a subsection. Please see my and NW's new posts there. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 16:26, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that I don't trust you, but I need verification when you say the 9 old photos are "free". Is there something that explicitly tells you that? Otherwise, it is probably not. I'm only being really picky because it is Wikipedia policy (the encyclopedia may be sued by copyright holders if we upload their copyrighted material; besides, it's a free encyclopedia ). The article is shaping up nicely, though. Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 16:29, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Mr Airplaneman, The 9 photos were given to me by the son of the man who took them in 1964. It is a good idea to take permission from him, but it is difficult to come in contact with him. He is travelling abroad continuously. Therefore, I decided not to upload any photo (unless you want to see them privately, in which case I can send them only to you). Therefore, let the article stand alone without photos. Now, could you please publish this article in Wikipedia, since I don't know how to do this? Thanks a lot for your patient help. My thanks also to all persons of Wikipedia who helped by answering my questions. Yours sincerely, CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 11:51, 7 July 2010 (UTC) CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 11:58, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That sounds great! I'm thinking we could take an interesting fact from this interesting article and submit it to WP:DYK. That way, it will be on the main page for about eight hours, and people will have a chance to view it. First, I must do some "wikifying" to the article, though, and when we are ready to nominate this article, I'll publish it. How does that sound? Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 18:02, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman, Excellent suggestion. Next Monday I am going to write a new article under the title "Gymnastikos Syllogos Olympia", the most ancient athletic club in Cyprus. These days I'll go to the National Library to study sources from newspapers filed there, etc. I have noticed that there isn't any article about this club in Wikipedia. I have also noticed that there is no any article in Wikipedia about Karolina Pelendridou, a para-olympic medallist. So, my third article will be about her. Meanwwhile, the flight with you was much more than excellent. Thanks a lot. Yours sincerely. CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 19:40, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

 * About A. Savvides: I'm not sure I understand the referencing system you're using. For example, reference one begins with "(a) See 1(a) above, (b) See 1(b) above, (c)". If possible, I'd like to standardize these references using the template for maintenance and formatting reasons. May you please explain? Thanks,  Airplaneman   ✈  Review? 19:51, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Dear Airplaneman, In Note #2, for example, I write (a) See 1(a) above, (b) See 1(b) above, etc. By doing this I mean See Note # 1(a), ie Cyprus Mail, March 12, 1995, Michele Kambas, "HERCULES IN UNIFORM", Nicosia, and See Note #1(b), ie Phileleftheros, March 11, 1995, Maria Georgiou,.... etc. I used this method in order to avoid repeating the same source(s) again, and thus economize space. I didn't know any other simpler way to refer back to the same source. Thanks, CHRISTAKIS DEMOSTHENOUS (talk) 09:29, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I see. To do so, you can name references. Do so by replacing the tag with (always in quotes). After naming the reference, you can avoid typing it all out again by simply typing out the name of the reference where you would like to use it again: . Note that the reference names are in quotation marks. Here is an example:

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Ranjithsutari (talk) 19:55, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

You realise that userbox still says that your pages have only been vandalised 3 times, when your userpage alone has been vandalised 7 times? Just pointing that out.  Bramble  claw  x   17:27, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
