User talk:Dontexpect

A tag has been placed on The POV, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

The subject is a non-notable publication that has published only one issue.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page 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 confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Realkyhick 03:37, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of The POV
I've nominated The POV, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that The POV satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/The POV and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of The POV during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Sandstein 06:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Povtext.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Povtext.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 '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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 02:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Sinclair oil philipsburg.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Sinclair oil philipsburg.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. Polly (Parrot) 16:29, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Polly, Image has had its copyright tag completed, yet the speedy deletion tag remains. Is there still an issue? --Dontexpect (talk) 10:05, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Copyrighted images deleted
I have deleted the above images because they are copyrighted on Flickr. If you own the flickr account and you took these photos yourself, please log-in to flickr, and update the licenses for those images to a free license. Once you have done this, please contact me or another admin and we'll undelete the images for you. Sorry about this, but we take the copyright of others seriously, and until we can demonstrate that the person who first uplaoded those images on Flickr has licensed them freely, we cannot accept them here to avoid possibly copyright infringement. I left you a more detailed message on the Media copyright questions page, where you asked a question. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 15:16, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey thanks for the fast reply and fix. I've restored the images!-Andrew c [talk] 16:03, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Is this a photo you created entirely yourself? Do you have a version with intact EXIF data? --Martin H. (talk) 00:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Maija Kovalevska"
A page you created, Maija Kovalevska, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Spitfire19 T/C 18:56, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Sigh. When will opera stars stop being lumped with hack businessmen, college athletes with a handful of tackles, and other "non notable" folk on Wikipedia? It's a shame that her online presence in the United States is stymied by the language barrier with Eastern European countries which have covered her extensively.


 * User:Spitfire19, a cursory consultation of Google would reveal numerous news pieces in the New York Times, among others, that clearly assert why she meets Wikipedia's criteria for notoriety.
