Replaceable fair use File:UCLA and University of Texas quidditch tackle.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:UCLA and University of Texas quidditch tackle.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy.

Creation of Belgium Muggle Quidditch and Belgium national quidditch team
Hello,

I created the pages Belgium Muggle Quidditch and Belgium national quidditch team because of their legitimacy within their host organizations (the IQA and BMQ, respectively). BMQ is the official organization of all things quidditch within Belgium, acting as the link between teams and players and the IQA itself. Its roles include, but are not limited to: fee collection, rule setting, basic coaching and reffing standards and event creation. BMQ is soon to have ASBL/VZW status in Belgium (non-profit status). The Gryffins is the official national team of Belgium for the sport of quidditch, made official by the IQA and BMQ where they will make their debut in July 2014 at the Global Games. This team will, then, stay around and be host to new players at the discretion of the BMQ/those who the BMQ put in charge in the following years at any national-team-event or subsequent IQA Global Games.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Quidditch Canada, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Tempe (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A page you started (Quidditch Benelux) has been reviewed!
Thanks for creating Quidditch Benelux, Danachos!

Wikipedia editor Polyglot just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

"I had my doubts as it seems a bit absurd. I didn't read the rules. I did read Harry Potter a few times and now I'm wondering where you'd get flying broomsticks, let alone a Nimbus. And where can one get insurance for playing this dangerous game?"

To reply, leave a comment on Polyglot's talk page.

Learn more about page curation.


 * I shouldn't have tried to leave a funny comment. The problem when reviewing pages is that sometimes vandals create pages which look OK. That's why I had to investigate a bit further before being able to review the page. Thanks for your contribution. Will you create pages in Dutch and French as well?--Polyglot (talk) 09:39, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Muggle Quidditch Nederland
Hello, Danachos. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Muggle Quidditch Nederland, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jayakumar RG (talk) 10:28, 1 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Deleted the tag and updated the page with more comprehensive citations and additional info! But thank you for reviewing it, though. I do firmly believe it is an article that should be on Wikipedia because of its noteworthiness as it is the official governing body for the sport of quidditch within the NL. –– Danachos (talk) 10:53, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm JustinTime55. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Astronaut, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. In particular, what is a "vyomanaut"? Also, we have a particular style for the opening lead sentence, which defines the topic. "Cosmonaut" is included because it is the most frequently (by far) occurring synonym, and has a redirect. Other terms should be added to the Terminology section (with citation).

Stop you copy-paste moves. It's disruptive, and you've been here long enough to know better. If you want to move the article, make a proper move request.

Libras
Hi. It doesn't really matter what the Brazilian govt calls it, or what native speakers prefer it to be called in Portuguese. Since we write in English, what matters is what it's called in English, particularly in reliable sources on the subject. See WP:COMMONNAME. — kwami (talk) 00:46, 29 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Libras is used in English as it is used in Portuguese. I will revert the changes and cite one: a scholarly article on comparative iconographical and lexical study and two: the University of Connecticut's (UCONN) own studies on ASL and Libras where they say "structure of American Sign Language (ASL) and Brazilian Sign Language (Libras)." It is commonly referred to as Libras in linguistics spheres in English (and French, Portuguese and Spanish), however I cannot cite personal experience, so I will rely on my two references noted above when I make the changes. – Danachos (talk) 02:32, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * All 2ary refs I've seen use BSL. That's also the name of the article. Odd to have one name for the title and another for the text. If you want to change the name, make a proper move request with evidence that it is actually the common name, not just that you can dig up some sources which use it. — kwami (talk) 04:27, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

IUR
Hi. Since I revert so many of your edits, I thought I would explain why in this case. First, IUR does not belong at 'Inuit languages' as it's not the topic of the article. I also removed much of the text at 'Inuit' as it contradicted itself, first saying it's only found in Nunuvut, then saying that it may be spoken across Canada, and in any case details belong in the main article. Finally, you used bad references, claiming the info dates to Ethnologue 10 or earlier when it wasn't even added until the 18th edition. Just so you know I'm not doing this to be an ass. — kwami (talk) 02:05, 2 August 2015 (UTC)


 * But, no, IUR is an Inuit language as it is talking about the languages of the Inuit people, not of the Eskimo–Aleut language family itself. The first sentence is hearing-centric: "The Inuit languages are a closely related group of Native American languages traditionally spoken across the North American Arctic and to some extent in the subarctic in Labrador." choosing to portray all Inuit languages as oral languages within the Eskimo–Aleut family, however as IUR was born and is spoken by Inuit, it is, at its core, an Inuit language. The article discusses Inuit languages or languages of the Inuit. "The total population of Inuit speaking their traditional languages..." is in the intro to the page, which indicates that it is talking about all the native Inuit languages which would include IUR. Also, it can be adjusted to say "...it has only be found in Nunavut..." Finally, I apologize for the mis-citing of Ethnologue (as I only now am learning how to properly cite that source), but what other issues are present in the citations? Scholarly articles discussing typology as well as news reports all appear to be adequate sources proving this language exists. – Danachos (talk) 02:17, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Read again. The very first line defines the topic: the Inuit branch of the Eskimoan languages. IUR is not an Eskmoan language. If the article were about the languages of the Inuit, then there would be sections on English and French as well. — kwami (talk) 04:25, 2 August 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:IQA WC VII Logo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:IQA WC VII Logo.png. 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. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 11:53, 28 April 2016 (UTC)

Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory
Thanks for adding the infobox for Eeyou Istchee James Bay Territory. I'd recently written the page as it was sparse and no one had updated it. As hard as I tried, though, there is one piece of information I couldn't find that maybe you might know the answer to. Which of the subdivisions act as the administrative seat of the combined territory, now? Also, does Nord-du-Québec have an administrative seat? --Criticalthinker (talk) 09:26, 28 April 2017 (UTC)


 * No worries! I was just working on a fun project myself and realised that the flag, the Cree and French names and, well, the infobox were missing! Otherwise, sorry, I am no help elsewhere. My focus was more along the Cree Nation itself. Danachos (talk) 23:26, 29 April 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Grand Council of the Crees into Cree Nation Government. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:48, 30 April 2017 (UTC)

Use commonly recognizable names

 * WP:COMMONNAME

"In Wikipedia, an article title is a natural language word or expression that indicates the subject of the article: as such the article title is usually the name of the person, or of the place, or of whatever else the topic of the article is. However, some topics have multiple names, and this can lead to confusion about which name should be used in the article's title. Wikipedia generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the criteria. When there is no single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources, editors should reach a consensus as to which title is best by considering these criteria directly.

Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article. For cases where usage differs among English-speaking countries, see also National varieties of English."

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Nova Scotia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Kamloops residential school
Saw your comments at K.e.coffman's talk page. I have encountered similar issues in residential school articles, especially the one in Kamloops, as they took the initiative to contract with an archaeologist. I have an observation that may be helpful: First Nations are impeded by their fragmentation. There is no question in my mind that this was a deliberate tactic on the part of the British. I do not know if there is a First Nations portal, but if there is I suggest joining it, and if not I suggest starting one.

The issue I saw with the residential school articles was that the report of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was given disproportionate weight and used to imply that all is well now, probably because editors wanted to believe this. I am currently preoccupied with something else, but feel free to ping me if you like. As an example of another indigenous issue that could use broad support, may I mention the wildfire that devastated Lytton BC? Elinruby (talk) 11:41, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of ASLwrite


The article ASLwrite has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Not notable. No widespread use, no reliable sources. Most sources here are primary sources, not secondary."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
