Profumo pictures PD?
Hi!

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnProfumo.jpg and Image:ChristineKeeler.jpg. You tagged both those pictures as, but I wonder why they would be? Can you refer me to a statement where the copyright holder turns them into the public domain? Thanks! &mdash;Gabbe 12:36, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The same with Image:Dr Larry Brilliant.jpg and Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg. &mdash;Gabbe 12:38, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I chose these particular pics of Image:JohnProfumo.jpg and Image:ChristineKeeler.jpg because they are widely available on Google images and used by bloggers including national press. Pictures of Image:Dr Larry Brilliant.jpg and Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg are publicity pictures by Seva Foundation and Oracle corp and again widely used when these people do public speaking. erpguru 04:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That does not in any way mean they're not copyrighted. You shouldn't mark them as "public domain" unless you're absolutely certain the images have no copyright holder. Public domain is for material which is not covered by copyright, such as paintings made hundreds of years ago, or media ineligable for copyright, such as images made by the United States federal government. In a few specific cases we allow copyrighted images under the "Fair use" provision of American copyright law, you can read more about that on WP:FUC. &mdash;Gabbe 17:37, 12 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I understand. I added the "licence" for Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg there is even a button to download the image...it must mean "fair use".

Please see Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage.

Exact Software
If you believe an error has been made, all is not lost: see Deletion review. If an article is deleted that really shouldn't be, deletion review is designed to catch these cases that "fall through the cracks" of the deletion system. If material that demonstrates notability is presented, a request for undeletion will likely succeed. &mdash; Saxifrage ✎ 03:22, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Kewill logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kewill logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 22:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Better source request for Image:JohnProfumo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JohnProfumo.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you.  howcheng  {chat} 17:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CharlesPhillips.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 20:35, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Global Trade Management
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Global Trade Management, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Global Trade Management is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Global Trade Management, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:13, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Source needed
Your recent contribution(s) to are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at How to cite sources. Thanks! - P ilotguy  contact tower  22:29, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Suksma Ratri
A tag has been placed on Suksma Ratri requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. 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.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Boul22435! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:23, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Silicon Valley Code Camp


A tag has been placed on Silicon Valley Code Camp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Shakinglord:Kudos, Mailbox, ??? 23:53, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Personal Attacks

Speedy deletion nomination of Kewill


A tag has been placed on Kewill, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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". 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:Kewill logo.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Kewill logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Thank you for your contributions. Please mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Patrick M. Shanahan, as "minor" only if they are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. – Archer1234 (talk) 01:36, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

Apologies for getting worked up perhaps in my Undo edit description. The section does need splitting, tho not that way, as there are those who say that anything outside the common narrative on that subject is misinformation.

POV vandalism at Hunter Biden laptop controversy
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Hunter Biden laptop controversy. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Your deletion of "falsely", based on a misunderstanding of NPOV, has been reverted. It can be seen as POV vandalism, hence the template above. NPOV does not forbid such content when it is backed by RS. In fact, NPOV requires that editors keep their personal POV out of the decision. NPOV is primarily about editorial neutrality, not content or source neutrality. The Biden-Ukraine conspiracy theory is indeed false. No evidence has emerged that Joe Biden's actions were corrupt, and there is plenty of evidence that what Joe Biden did was proper, very public, and carried out the will of the international community. They actually placed Hunter Biden in much more jeopardy if he was engaged in anything corrupt. Focus on Hunter, whose affairs are being investigated. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 15:39, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Hi Boul22435! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor&#32;at Koch Industries that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information.
