Bangladesh
Hello! I recently reverted your edit to Bangladesh in good faith. While I understand that you think that the leader deserves his/her title in the name, your edit actually accidentally broke the link to his main page. Also, other countries, such as Spain use the same type of infobox and do not include titles, so I think it best to keep with standard procedure. Thanks for your edits, and I hope to see you around on Wikipedia; please ask me if you have any questions! --Jackson Peebles (talk) 18:26, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

InterPortPolice
I noticed you improved 's unsubmitted draft article, InterPortPolice, submitted it for review, then immediately moved it from Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/InterPortPolice to its current location. While your improvements are appreciated and you have every right to review and accept articles that have been submitted, you may have accepted this one prematurely. The article probably should have stayed where it was until it's major issues were identified and addressed. As it is, there is a risk that this will be nominated for deletion at WP:Articles for deletion. I encourage you to come over and help out at WikiProject Articles for creation, but please read WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions and be sure you are at least somewhat familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, particularly the content standards listed in the box on the right-hand side, first.

Again, I appreciate your efforts to improve Wikipedia. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  20:11, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Be careful when adding to a page.  What you type won't show up in the page where you think it will.  Rather, it will add the page to a Wikipedia category.  Until you are familiar with how categories work and what their purpose is, I recommend avoiding adding or removing categories from pages altogether.  In general, user talk pages should only be added to existing categories that are made for this purpose.
 * By the way, don't worry too much about being blocked from editing or banned from Wikipedia if your mistakes are just due to being new around here. A good, helpful attitude is a lot more important than being technically correct 100% of the time. We were all newbies once, even this guy was a first-time editor way back when.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  19:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Please guide me more, I don't want it to be deleted from the wikipedia. Dear Kathovo, I have tried to edit PS3 by mistake. Sorry for that. Please restore it as previous.
 * I see that the article InterPortPolice has been deleted as a copyright violation. I am afraid I have deleted its second incarnation (Interportpolice) as well - it has been largely copied from the organization's official website. (See the copyright policy; in addition, since it copied the official material, it seemed promotional in nature. An article should be based on reliable third-party sources and written in a neutral and factual manner.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 07:54, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

April 2013
Hello, I'm Kathovo. I noticed that you recently removed some content from PlayStation 3 with this edit without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks,  K a t h o v o  talk 18:19, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Categories
If you need help with something, please don't put the punctuation and word

If you are looking for help, there are several different ways to find it. See Help desk, for example. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:42, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

InterPortPolice
Re: Your email regarding InterPortPolice

This article was deleted by the administrator on April 30 for "Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://interportpolice.org/?page_id=368".

Please read Copyright before re-creating this article.

While you can use the Article Wizard to re-create the page and have it "go live now," I would strongly encourage you to submit it through the WP:Article Wizard and either submit it for review or save it as a draft. If you save it as a draft, be sure to click on the "submit for review" link that will be at the top or bottom of your draft when you are ready to submit it for review. The main reason to submit it for review rather than "going live now" is to get any problems out of the way before it becomes part of the encyclopedia, so it won't get deleted later. In any case, never, ever, ever knowingly violate Wikipedia's copyright policy as outlined in Copyright. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  03:15, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Plumamazinglogo.png
Thanks for uploading File:Plumamazinglogo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:05, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

How to insert company logo in an article
I saw you added a the non-existant category "How to insert company logo in an article?" to your user talk page. Having non-existent or inappropriate categories on pages can cause confusion, so I removed it.

But to answer your question:

First, read WP:FAIRUSE and ask yourself if the use of the company logo on the page about the company qualifies as "fair use" of a "non-free" (i.e. it's either not copyrighted or it's been licensed by the company under a "free" license) image. Unless they consist of "merely" letters and simple shapes and are therefore ineligible for copyright protection, company logos created after 1923 and which are still in use are almost never "free" images.

Second, see if there is already a logo for that company. If you don't see one on the company's page, the answer is probably "no."

Third, download the official company logo from an official source. If it is a vector image, try to convert it to .svg format. If it is not a vector image, try to convert it to .png format.

Before you upload the file, look at some existing company logos to see what kinds of copyright, trademark, fair-use-rationale, and other templates are present.

Upload the file to Wikipedia. Do not use the Commons for non-free images. Be sure to completely fill out a fair use rationale for each article that will use the image. Be sure to fill in all of the copyright and trademark information as well.

Next, add the image to the article. The preferred way is to add it to the infobox company template. If there is no "infobox company" template, add one.

Be sure you do not use the image in any other place. If you need to mention the image, such as on a talk page, put a : before the world "File." For example, use File:PBS Logo.svg to display File:PBS Logo.svg. In the unlikely event that the logo qualifies for use on the Wikimedia commons, you should upload it there instead. File:Bell System hires 1889 logo.PNG is one example.

I hope this helps. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  16:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)


 * [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Plum_Amazing&oldid=555732345 This now-reverted edit] demonstrates how to put a logo in an infobox. For legal reasons, please wait until after the article is accepted before attempting to put the image into the article.  davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  02:26, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Logo web.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Logo web.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:26, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Re: Your email
You can replace the contents of any of your own "user sub-pages" including User:Arifhasan23/sandbox by replacing its contents with and waiting a day or so for an administrator to delete it.

You asked "now to send a new article to the sandbox." If you mean a brand-new article, just wait for your existing sandbox to be deleted then create it all over again.

If you are working on more than one new article at a time, you may want to use a different user sub-page for each one. See USERSUBPAGE for details.

You also asked about company logos. If the logos are ineligible for copyright or are so old that their copyrights have expired, you may be able to upload them to Wikimedia Commons. However, if they are not used in an article in any Wikimedia project within a few weeks expect the logos to be deleted from the commons as being "out of scope." See commons:commons:project scope and commons:commons:licensing before uploading any images to the Commons.

If they are eligible for copyright protection, do not upload them until the article in which they are to be used exists as an article. Read Non-free content for more details.

By the way, the best way to reach me and for that matter most Wikipedia editors is by writing on their "user talk" page, not through email. If they don't respond within a few days and there is no indication that they have edited at Wikipedia in the meantime, it's perfectly fine to email them saying "I left you a message on your talk page a few days ago." davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  15:55, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

User:Doncram/First National Bank of Haxtun
I undid your edit to User:Doncram/First National Bank of Haxtun. If you wish to make changes to this submission, please read the existing discussion at User talk:Doncram and give Doncram the courtesy of either logging your changes either in that discussion section or add a new discussion section at the bottom of his talk page. In any case, do not restore unless Doncram specifically asks you to. He will restore that line himself when he wants one of a handful of experienced editors he's working with to review the draft article. After reviewing the article, the reviewer will either move the article into the main encyclopedia or, as I did late last month, remove the line and notify Doncram of the issues that need to be addressed. If this process sounds similar to "Articles for creation," it is. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail)  17:08, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Unblock request
For the record, after the (long) discussion on #wikipedia-en-help, I am under the impression that, at least in the case of this particular user, this was actually a case of being used as a 'meatpuppet' by someone who did not understand the ethics of editing, rather than actual 'sockpuppetry'. I was able to see the IP address the user used to connect to IRC (which I'm not going to post for privacy reasons, of course), and whois does seem to imply that it is part of a 'dynamic IP pool', located in a part of the world which would probably not be hard to 'guess'. The user did seem to honestly have no clue as to why his actions caused him to be blocked, and seemed quite upset about it. I'm specifically not 'endorsing' this (I don't know any of this for a fact), but I do have the impression that this particular user does actually want to contribute in good faith, and now has much better understanding of what is allowable. I also made a point of 'strongly suggesting' (and I think this point has been also made by others above) that if this account is unblocked that any future new articles go through the AfC process.

I'll also specifically suggest to this user here that placing more of an emphasis on constructive edits to existing articles, and worrying less about trying to create new ones, would help with establishing a 'history' as a good-faith contributor if this account is actually unblocked. Revent (talk) 07:16, 13 July 2013 (UTC)


 * This is part of the case Sockpuppet investigations/Morning277, a record SPI sweep in which I made 199 blocks just yesterday, and have just as many to go. It is based on technical and behavioral elements of a sock master I've known in depth for over a year.  This editor's behavior is documented to be completely consistent (100% identical, actually. See hatted evidence at case) to the first 75 socks blocked.  I would suggest that a CU be consulted before considering an unblock.  If someone can confirm the IP, they could privately contact User:WilliamH who is the CU that worked this case.  Dennis Brown &#124; 2¢ &#124;  WER  11:20, 13 July 2013 (UTC)


 * FWIW I was aware, and actually commented there also. A big part of the conversation on IRC was looking into the edits, dates, and such and explaining to this user exactly why 'he' was blocked. Like I said, I wasn't 'endorsing' that he be unblocked, just noting what he had said and 'indicating' that this particular user had put effort into trying to 'save' the account...kinda 'odd' behavior for what would be one out of several hundred disposable socks. I honestly do have the impression that this particular account was a case of 'unwitting meat', and thought the 'info' given by them to that effect might be useful.
 * Just to make it clear, I am entirely aware that this particular account could also plausibly be a 'false flag' attempt to learn how to game the system to 'sanitize' socks...I was just giving the info. Revent (talk) 02:08, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The actual 'net' statement was along the lines of "This person that I know well gave me the content and asked me to post it with (some story, don't remember the details - revent) about being unable to do it because of not having a WP account"... i.e., social engineering of people into being unwitting meat. Revent (talk) 02:14, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Checked
I checked the account, and I do not believe by technical evidence that Arifhasan23 is directly related to the other accounts. I cannot speak for behavioral contributions; I read the suspicion that this might be a case of paid editing, something that we frown upon, but it is not prohibited. From a checkuser standpoint I would unblock the account and consider it fair warned for potential blocking in the future should the user violate policy without further warning. WP:AGF and all that; blocks can always be re-applied. Keegan (talk) 23:52, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Unblocked
I have unblocked the account, the user will be staying away from AfC. Keegan (talk) 00:05, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I've made a post on User_talk:Keegan about this decision. — rybec   15:50, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Concussion Mitigation Technologies


A tag has been placed on Concussion Mitigation Technologies, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. &#39;DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 17:39, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Certified Penetration Testing Consultant


The article Certified Penetration Testing Consultant has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * spammy article added on behalf of Morning277, but may not qualify for G5 because editor who added it is not blocked; see [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=544711860], [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/block&page=User%3AArifhasan23] and Sockpuppet_investigations/Morning277/Archive

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — rybec   19:27, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Wikilinking
Hi, and thanks for your work on the English Wikipedia. Just a short note to point out that we don’t normally link:
 * dates
 * years
 * commonly known geographical terms (including well-known country-names), and
 * common terms you’d look up in a dictionary (unless significantly technical).

Thanks and my best wishes.
