Manual of Style
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please consider using sections. Kirachinmoku (talk) 08:25, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:TI-36Solar.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:TI-36Solar.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. J Milburn (talk) 17:02, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Your uploads
Good day. I see that you have uploaded a number of images to Wikipedia. First off, thank you for your contributions. Unfortunately, there are some guidelines that we need to follow with copyrighted images. Specifically, you need to add a source for the image (a link to a website will do), a copyright tag (there are some listed at WP:ICT), and a rationale explaining why we can use a copyrighted image (explained at WP:NFURG). I see that your images fail to include one of these. Please stop uploading images and address the concerns listed above. If you need assistance, you can ask at the help desk. If you do not fix these images, and you continue to make bad uploads, you will be blocked and your images will be deleted. Thanks for your contributions! STBotI (talk) 05:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TI-36Solar.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TI-36Solar.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 15:58, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of C:\ARTICLE CONFIG 2
A tag has been placed on C:\ARTICLE CONFIG 2, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  Altairisfar talk  02:03, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Notability of The War on Wikipedia
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The War on Wikipedia, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The War on Wikipedia is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The War on Wikipedia, 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.

Proposed deletion of Multi-driver loudspeaker system
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Multi-driver loudspeaker system, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Binksternet (talk) 16:03, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Your editing style
You have created a number of articles and expanded other articles with new material but in each case, you are not yet bringing in outside references. Wikipedia requires third party references such as books, newspaper and magazine articles in order to establish that the subject or the opinion is valid. Simply stating facts based on your experience is not sufficient. You are a dedicated new editor, but please consider adapting your style to match the requirements of Wikipedia if you would like your work here to stand up to critical scrutiny and survive beyond a few hours or days. Wishing the best for you... Binksternet (talk) 16:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, the apostrophe isn't yet your friend. Don't use them for plurals of years and model names. For example: 1970s (not 1970's), TVs (not TV's), VCRs (not VCR's), SS-690s (not SS-690's) etc. Possessive 'its' doesn't get an apostrophe: "under its Fisher brand name" is correct, while "under it's Fisher brand name" is not. Check out Bob, the Angry Flower. Binksternet (talk) 16:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to say thanks for the info on the old RCA A/V systems, seeing those photos brought back some great memories from childhood ;) But I agree with the guy above, you've added a lot of great stuff, but need more references, a lot more.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Burj-Tower-1918.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Burj-Tower-1918.jpg. 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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

SoundGate
Hello! I was doing New Page Patrol and came upon your new SoundGate article. You may want to consider expanding the article -- in its current state, its lack of proper references could open it up to speedy deletion or AfD nomination. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 17:07, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Burj-Tower-1918.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Burj-Tower-1918.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Guest9999 (talk) 10:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

No Table of Contents
You can prevent Wikipedia from creating a Table of Contents in an article by adding " " anywhere in the article (ususally at the top).

Speedy deletion of Thiel Audio
A tag has been placed on Thiel Audio 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 19:48, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Thiel Audio
A tag has been placed on Thiel Audio, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Thiel Audio and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Theseeker4 (talk) 20:42, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 17:37, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Loyd Ivey misinformation
Wikipedia takes a particularly dim view of false information posted about people who are alive. See WP:BLP for further information. As a result, you should not re-post the incorrect information about Loyd Ivey. You need to have VERY STRONG sources -- not a flash animation joke that was made by his friends as entertainment for his 50th birthday. Binksternet (talk) 22:25, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Car ICE
If the link is red, then the company isn't notable enough to have its own article already, and should probably not be included on the list yet. I've laid out some criteria in the discussion pages and have been reminding people of them for some time now, after this article survived an AFD i put on it. I think this should be made a cat instead, but hey, whatever. As long as its here, it should point to notable articles, not be an all inclusive.RCHM (talk) 20:15, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Starcraft Marine
A tag has been placed on Starcraft Marine 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

Hi Please review Wikipedia's policy and guideline concerning non-free content at WP:Non-free content.

 * Hi. Thank you for trying to rewrite the material; however, to avoid copyright concerns, it's not good enough to change a few words here and there. It has to be rewritten from scratch, so that people can't recognize that it's essentially the same as the copyrighted material and so that original sentences or parts of sentences or recognizable original phrases from the copyright material don't appear in the Wikipedia article.  The article has been shortened to remove the possibility of copyright problems. ☺ Coppertwig(talk) 18:09, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Matthew Helms
Matthew Helms does not "indicate the importance or significance of the subject," and the subject appears unnotable at best. Quoting WP:BIO, "The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."" "A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject." Furthermore, for actors... "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television, stage performances, or other productions.Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment." From my observations, this individual fails all criteria for notability. Also, you are incorrect regarding the "Scores" restaurant article, as it was I who nominated it for deletion... I did not remove the deletion tag. Alphageekpa (talk) 12:17, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestion
Daniel, you've made some good contributions here, but you need to make sure you establish the notability of the article subjects you choose. This is done by including citations and references to media accounts. I also recommend you remove any statements that are inappropriate, as they aren't going to be appreciated by people who can make your efforts here more difficult. I'm sorry you're frustrated. Regards, ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me second this. I've dropped a note at the Helms AfD with some pointers. And how about User:Daniel_Christensen/Why I love Wikipedia?--Tikiwont (talk) 20:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you can find good sources and add references to articles they can often be saved even after an AfD is started and even after editors have voted to delete. Many editors watch discussion and monitor changes to see if updates are made. You can even let people who have voted delete to look at the improved article by leaving a message on their talk page.
 * But the bigger point is that several editors have suggested you include references and citations to your articles. This is how Wikipedia is built, so people can see that a subject is important and has been covered by reliable media and so people can verify the information and make sure it's not just advertising or a press release. There are nice people here and there are some jerks, but if you're willing to listen and work with the nice people I think you will have more fun and less frustration. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh and you can also save what you've done to your personal computer or your user space and work on the articles there. When you've added references you can recreate them. Nothing has to be deleted ever and no one decision is final. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:56, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Recreating articles
Recreating the same article is frowned upon (and often prohibited). But if you "rewrite" an article and address the reasons it was deleted ie. NOTABILITY NOT ESTABLISHED BY REFERENCES TO COVERAGE FROM MEDIA SOURCES, you should be okay. Let me know if you need any help or suggestions. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)


 * How many references does the Home audio article have to media accounts covering this subject? REWRITE: Does the Home audio article have any references to articles discussing the subject? The rewriting isn't a big deal, your refusal to include sources for your article (sources outside of the subject of the article) is a big problem and causing you unnecessary grief. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:49, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Home audio sources
Please answer the above questions...
 * Here are the results of a google news search with "all dates" selected for home audio . See what you can come up with for sources and references. A source is where information on your subject can be found and the content substantiated. A citation to references and sources is done to show where the content of the article is directly from (as there may be many sources for an article). There is probably good information from some of these sourcse so I know you'll enjoy adding that content and citing it. Then we can recreate the article and no one is going to delete it. ChildofMidnight (talk) 22:54, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a citation to an article from the New York Times to the Home Audio article. I also formatted the footnotes, sources and see also sections so you can add some in-line citations to support the assertions made in the article. I hope you don't mind, I'm trying to help. It's a collaborative process on wikipedia, but if you don't want my help please let me know. ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:39, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Reply to your subpage
Hi. I read your page User:Daniel Christensen/Why I hate Wikipedia and I understand your frustration. I appreciate your work in adding a lot of content to Wikipedia.

If you want to increase the chances that a page you create will stay, things you can do include choosing topics that are very clearly within the notability guidelines, including plenty of references when first creating the page, and following policies and guidelines such as being careful to avoid possible copyright problems. You can also put on the page for a short period of time, for example immediately after creating it, to discourage people from deleting it until you've had a chance to improve it.

I think that deletion at AfD is usually because it's thought that a page with that name won't grow into a very useful or notable page, not so much because of the current state of the page. However, opinions on this may vary.

The administrator closing an AfD doesn't just count up the votes but takes into account the whole discussion, for example, the closer may notice if there is a shift of opinion after the page was improved substantially or new information was brought into the discussion. Sometimes they re-list a discussion if they think that further discussion may clarify the result.

Deletion at AfD doesn't have to be the end of the story. You can re-create a page with material that addresses the concerns expressed when it was deleted. If you think the deletion was in error you can challenge it at WP:DRV. And you can ask an administrator to give you a copy of the contents of the deleted page. Sometimes it may be appropriate to make the material into a subsection of another page.

Deletion is a necessary part of maintaining overall quality standards. There are many pages that probably ought to be deleted but nobody has gotten around to tagging them yet. It's all a work in progress.

Things aren't perfect. If you have ideas on how to improve the deletion system, you can propose them. You might want to help out by participating in deletion discussions for pages created by others.

I'm sorry that some of the work you did ended up on deleted pages. That's happened to me, too. It can be discouraging.

I hope you'll continue contributing to Wikipedia. ☺ Coppertwig(talk) 18:43, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

RCA
You should know that the RCA article is strictly about Radio Corporation of America, later called RCA Corporation, which ceased to exist in 1986 after it was taken over by General Electric and broken up. Thomson SA acquired the RCA and GE consumer electronics operations from GE. All info about RCA branded consumer electronic products made after GE broke up RCA should go to the RCA (trademark) article. If you look in the RCA (trademark) article, you will see that the class-action lawsuit section was moved to that article. Steelbeard1 (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:KICKER.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:KICKER.jpg. 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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:13, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Oop, forgot the URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRr5nwXUYhU


 * Thanks for pointing this out. YouTube has been experimenting with AVC/AAC stereo videos for a few months, but it is still not an official feature. After this was mentioned yesterday, I uploaded a video called "stereo test" to see what happened. The normal quality was the usual H.263/MP3 mono, but the high quality was AVC/AAC stereo. YouTube is in the habit of experimenting with formats without telling anyone, and it will be hard to put this in the article until there is some official confirmation.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 10:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Anylite technology, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

Copyright question
I saw your question about public domain on Wikipedia talk:Public domain image resources and also looked at your contributions, many of which were deleted. So first the burden of proof is on you, as the uploader, to supply the proper information needed for all images you upload. That means that you must supply a source that others can confirm and a suitable licence. On occasions you may be able to use a non-free image with an appropriate fair use rationale. Some images that you found online are in the public domain, but unless there is a specific PD licence indicated, then you can be pretty sure someone owns and you cannot use it. If uploading any image you must provide the proper URL for the image and not just the main webpage as I have seen some people do. You should look at WP:PD for public domain information, WP:C, WP:COPYVIO, WP:COPYREQ for copyright information, and WP:NFCC for non-free images. Remember the burden of proof is on you, but you can always ask about an image at WP:IMAGEHELP. Hope that helps. ww2censor (talk) 00:50, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Shelf stereo.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Shelf stereo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Television work
Its nice to find another person on the wiki that's interested in the technical side of televsion! The "task force" is mostly focussed on shows and channels, not the actual televisions themselves.

I'm working my way through the early technologies. Once I have that fleshed out I want to go into the Color Television article and put in a really good history section, which links out to some of these articles. As I see it there are a couple of "waves" in the history, B&W, early color (what I'm working on now), later color like the "high end" sets from Sony and RCA, and then the modern switch to high def. I did the Plasmatron one too, but that was sort of a one-off.

Now if you want to have some fun, try tracking down anything you can on the "Indextron". I never saw one of these myself, but apparently they were a big disaster and Sony recalled all of them. There're still floating around out there though.

Speedy deletion of "About us" page
A tag has been placed on "About us" page 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 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. 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 web content.

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. DFS454 (talk) 16:12, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of PAETEC Tower
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PAETEC Tower, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Information out of date, referenced to a Wikipedia article, and about a proposed building whose ultimate height and position is still unknown.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Powers T 22:49, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no discussion, that's the point of proposed deletions. If you disagree with the deletion -- and I imagine you do, given the language you used -- then remove simply the prod template from the article.  Powers T 23:35, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

No worries DC. It's an interesting article. I know it's stressful when they get tagged up, but you might consider whether dropping F bombs is the best way to respond. I think T was pretty cool to let it slide. I see that the plans are still on track to build the thing (or so they say). My bacon mania and thisiswhyyourefat.com articles have been under fire too. You're probably wondering why your stuff gets hit when people let that crap slide through? :) Let me know if you ever want any help adding some citations to some of your articles. They have a lot of good content, but without citations they will be at risk for AfD and other deletion mechanisms... Thanks for the note.  Have fun. ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Notability of HorseFace
A tag has been placed on HorseFace requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MuffledThud (talk) 22:17, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

File:Kodaktower.jpg
Hi, Daniel. Do you have evidence that the image File:Kodaktower.jpg is licensed CC-by-3.0? The caption on the image credits it to the Rochester City Hall Photo Lab. The copyright information says "The contributors to the Rochester Images database provide these images for non-commercial, personal, educational, or research use only." Those restrictions would prohibit it from being used on Wikipedia. Powers T 14:28, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite frankly, I wouldn't trust that copyright notice on RocWiki when it comes to images. Any image that doesn't explicitly list a source (such as "self-made" or a link to a repository showing the original license) is likely to have just been copied off the Internet.  I would be extremely cautious to make sure you're not propagating an incorrect license.  Powers T 14:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ingenious, but the next sentence says "Prior written permission from the contributing partner must be obtained for any other use, including but not limited to commercial or scholarly publications, reproductions, or redistribution of an image." That makes the intent clear.  Powers T 14:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm still not certain that will pass muster here, but I'm just one person. There are people here on Wikipedia much better versed on the issues than I.  Powers T 02:54, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of User:Daniel Christensen/Dynamat
A tag has been placed on User:Daniel Christensen/Dynamat, 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 blatant 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 as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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.

Speedy deletion of Certificate program
A tag has been placed on Certificate program 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 blatant 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, 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.

 * no assertion of notability. Notability of events is not the same as notability associated with the location of those events

Rename "Man Takraf RB293" to "Bagger 293"?
Daniel, I would like to rename the "Man Takraf RB293" article to "Bagger 293". Is that ok with you?

My reasons for the proposed rename: I am aware that you redirected it the other way around in january 2009. (Apparently you created the "Man Takraf RB293" page and you created at the same time three redirect pages ("RB293", "Takraf RB293", and "Bagger 293") that redirect to it.) However, "Bagger 293" would be better because that name is used by its current owner (RWE), and because "Man Takraf RB293" is an odd mixture of outdated names. A few years ago "Man Takraf" (the manufacturer) changed its name to "Takraf". A few years ago Rheinbraun (the previous owner) was overtaken by RWE, and the new owner refers to the excavator as Bagger 293 without the outdated initials RB. And the name "Man Takraf RB293" is odd because it combines the name of the manufacturer and the initials of the owner.

BTW I changed a few incorrect facts: it is not in Australia, and Bagger 293 is not something else than an SRs 8000. Ceinturion (talk) 14:42, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, "bebta" is "beta" misspelled.

File copyright problem with File:Google_results.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Google_results.JPG. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:13, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Categories and User Pages
Hi Daniel, I just noticed that you have a bunch of subpages in your User space which are showing up in Category:Audio_electronics. This should not happen, as these categories are for pages in the Article namespace. If the articles are ready to go, you can move them to the article namespace. If not, please remove the category link, or make it inactive with a colon. See WP:UP for more guidance. Thanks, Derek Andrews (talk) 23:50, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Google results.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Google results.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Powers T 16:03, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

changes at speaker box
DC,

You left messages protesting image changes at this article. Looking at the history around 4 Nov 09, you reverted 3 edits I made, none of which made any changes in images or their placement. The was a clarifying addition to a caption. My reverted edits were textual, removed a commercial link, improved some phrasing, and shouldn't have been objectionable. Not much is clear about those messages. ww (talk) 04:27, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

TV noise
That's an interesting question, I never thought about it before. Thinking about it now, it seems clear it is real white noise. I say that because you get it on all channels, the sound of the noise is the same on channel 2 as it is on channel 12. That implies that the energy density is spread across a wide swath of spectrum, which is the definition of "white noise". Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:13, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

antennas of different length
If you vary the length below 2 by quarter wavelength the antenna still has the same gain, but the impedance gets more and more mismatched. You may start with a good 300 Ohms close to the impedance of free space (377Ω) but when you get shorter it looks more and more like a capacitor and less like a resister and you can't match the power with the device connected. The diamond shaped antenna is a rhombic antenna with sides 1 to 5 wavelengths. It makes sense to stack these vertically on top of each other, using the same towers to support the wires. Usually people don't want this for a TV antenna because it is big.

Your quarter length was the lowest reactance, and the half wavelength has a high reactance and radiation resistance. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 09:27, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


 * It is big but would it get farther stations? Would it have higher gain and directivity? Daniel Christensen (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The full wave loop has gain about 1.2dB above the dipole. Rhombic can have a gain of 15 dB .(pprobably over idotropic though)   A 4 wavelength per side rhombic can have a 8.6 dB gain.  2 wavelength sides give: 5.92 dB over dipole and compares to a 3 element Yagi.

I make a couple of little touchups, and re-instated the YouTube link. What's the chance we might be able to find a picture we can use? Maybe we should contact the person that shot the video and see if they'd send us an image. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:58, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Murray & Roberts
A tag has been placed on Murray & Roberts 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. noq (talk) 10:49, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Tale spin.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Tale spin.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. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.  Ja Ga  talk 19:41, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
