Peter Swirski
I reverted you changing the Peter Swirski article back to where it was. I left edit summaries explaining each of the changes, but I'll point out a few here. First, we do not provide lists of reviewer comments. You could possibly incorporate a few of those comments into the article, but it would need to be put into prose, embedded into the text itself, and, ideally, summarized rather than quoted. This article cannot be a promotional tool or collection of promotional statements about Swirski. Additionally, per WP:EL, we cannot provide direct links to the Amazon sales pages for each of the books. The one link I kept and turned into a reference is okay, because it was specifically verifying the reviews. Finally, the number of external links at the bottom was excessive and violating WP:EL.

If you have any questions, please ask here, on the article's talk page, or on my talk page. Thanks. Qwyrxian (talk) 15:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Please read WP:EL. We don't allow direct links, like you did in the first paragraph, and we don't allow links to press releases.  In general, artiles should have only a very small number of high quality links.  Please revert your own re-addition of those links.  Also, please use edit summaries in your edits. Underneath the big main editing box, there's a small box labeled edit summary--that's where you should explain your changes.  Thanks. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:49, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ars Americana, Ars Politica


A tag has been placed on Ars Americana, Ars Politica requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. 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. noq (talk) 10:29, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Peter Swirski picture
Could you please explain something? On the uploaded file, it says that you (Aitwl) is the owner of this work, and you're releasing it into the public domain. But on the article, the caption says that this is a picture from an interview for European TV. Are you saying that you are the owner of the television show? I'm a little confused.

File permission problem with File:Peter Swirski European TV3 2009.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Peter Swirski European TV3 2009.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 04:53, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution_noticeboard#Talk:Peter_Swirski.23Inflated_claims_of_UMSL_connections_and_possible_COI
