Please refrain from making test edits in Wikipedia pages, such as those you made to Talk:August 18, even if you intend to fix them later. Such edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Similar to one you left at 17 August. What gives? Favonian (talk) 06:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Solwezi Central
A tag has been placed on Solwezi Central requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their 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. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:19, 3

 * Please do not blank pages, or replace them with ==Deleted==, this looks like vandalism. Also please be aware that you should not do cut and paste page moves, instead please use the move tab at the top of the page. In this case it probably does not matter as you are the only major editor to this page, but in future can you please be more careful. Martin 4 5 1  (talk) 00:17, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Removed prod tag from File:Suleiman Mousa 1946.jpg
I have removed the prod tag from File:Suleiman Mousa 1946.jpg, which you proposed for deletion, because the page you proposed for deletion was not an article. If you still think the page should be deleted, please don't add the prod template back to it, as proposed deletion is only for articles. Instead, consider using WP:FFD for this page. In some cases, a speedy deletion criterion may apply. Thanks! --  At am a  頭 05:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Questionable redirect
Are you absolutely sure that this redirect is correct? The reason I requested it is because it was a requested article here, which describes it as "incredibly useful in solving an ordinary differential equation with homogeneous coefficients, this transform involves guessing a general solution of an exponential raised to the negative [kt] power." I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure this does not describe the heaviside function. Raul654 (talk) 22:16, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, further googling suggests it's an alternative name for the S transform. Raul654 (talk) 22:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

See this, page 2. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as the S transform or not, but it's definitely not the heaviside step function. Raul654 (talk) 23:11, 27 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you may be right, I have checked your links, also researched on the subject. Heaviside function and Heaviside step functions seem to be used interchangeably. the major difference is that


 * H(x)function = 0:X<0, 1/2:X=0, and 1:X>0


 * and H(x)step function = 0:X<0, and 1:X>=0


 * The article i had linked to ([Heaviside step function]) also refers Heaviside step function as :::Heaviside function in line 10. please check. Thank you...Freshymail-user_talk:fngosa--the-knowledge-defender 06:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * We seem to be talking about three different things here -- the heaviside function, the heaviside step function, and the heaviside transform. I'm not sure the first two (which are or should be described in the Heaviside step function article) have anything to do with the third, which from the descriptions I've read, seems to be closely related to the Laplace transform and possibly the S transform. What are your thoughts on the matter? Raul654 (talk) 14:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Raul for bringing these topics to my attention. I will spend some time to study them, hopefully pop into university library on tuesday pm. I will give you the feedback.... Freshymail-user_talk:fngosa--the-knowledge-defender 00:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Foot has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Admin coaching request
Hello, Fngosa. Sorry, this is going to be a long read. I recently came across a request on a non-admin's talk page (which was temporarily on my watchlist) asking if they would coach you to become an admin. I also took up your user page invitation to see your contributions as an editor. As you only have 149 edits, plus 21 deleted edits (which is a high percentage), with respect I would say that it is far too early to consider going for admin.

My advice to you would be to gain more experience as an editor by observing others. Rather than concentrating on "policing tasks" such as patrolling new pages, recent changes and vandalism -- and moving on before you've had a chance to see whether other editors revert your edits or pass comment -- you might consider the following, which worked for me:
 * Find an experienced/veteran editor who makes a lot of contributions, and have a look at their contributions to see how:
 * they fill in their edit summary
 * they edit articles
 * they correct other people's edits
 * they revert and report edits
 * they converse with others on article and user talk pages (some of your comments are rather idiosyncratic and some experienced editors may not appreciate the way you offer advice or "friendly police warnings")

I'd also:
 * Pick some articles that are well written (eg Good Articles) and:
 * put the articles on your watchlist (and keep looking at edit diffs)
 * study the way that the lede (introductory lead paragraphs) are written and the article is constructed in sections (for example See also; then Notes; then References; then External links; then categories; etc)
 * study the way they provide references using cite book; cite web; cite journal and cite news rather than bare URLs which are prone to link rot
 * for example, notice that the preferred style is to place punctuation before the opening ref tag, not after the closing ref tag
 * and also notice the way they title and punctuate external links
 * study the way in which editors contribute to these articles
 * refer back to these model articles when you come across another article and are unsure of style; etc.


 * Maybe read and refer to:
 * the introduction to editing
 * the manual of style


 * And last, but not least:
 * when you make significant edits to an article, where appropriate get into the habit of first briefly researching "what's happening" on the article talk page and in the article history. Have a look at people's user pages and user talk pages before commenting, to check out whether you're dealing with newbies or experienced editors, so that you can tailor your contributions and comments accordingly.
 * Maybe temporarily watchlist an article after making changes to see if your edits and comments have gone down well; been reverted for some reason, or attracted comments, rather than moving on none the wiser

Just a thought (so please feel free to ignore my intrusion (and no, I'm not an admin)). Thanks for being here and contributing, and good luck!  Esowteric + Talk  09:52, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about?
Where do you come off accusing me of vandalism? You should know what you're talking about before making such accusations. Also read WP:Don't template the regulars. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 23:38, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I have also reverted your speedy deletion template and reinserted the redirect, as Hafan y Môr is a real holiday park owned by the named company. Speedy deletion does not apply per your tagging as the page is not patent nonsense. Please familiarize yourself with the categories for speedy deletion. &lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt; (talk) 23:43, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Hannari tofu declined

 * I have declined your request to speedy delete this article. Here is the exact wording of criteria G1, which you specified as the reason for deletion:"Pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history. This excludes poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, coherent non-English material, poorly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes." The text of the article was perhaps poorly written, but certainly not incoherent. Please be more careful when tagging for speedy deletion in the future. Thanks--Beeblebrox (talk) 02:35, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks friend. I think the other guys ve discussed the article, and why it should not be in an Encyclopedia. cheers mate....
 * I don't understand that statement at all. Beeblebrox (talk) 01:58, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Primitive copypaste. Please do some research
You added a copypaste template to the top of the disambigation page Primitive, but you have not filled in the source URL so this is of little use to other editors. As far as I can see a google search on the text in the lead paragraph shows only sites that mirror Wikipedia content (i.e. have taken material from this article), not material copied and pasted into this article. Please check this and remove the copypaste warning. 86.149.22.126 (talk) 09:12, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * copypaste from http://www.answers.com/topic/primitive
 * Have you considered the fact that that page says "This entry is from Wikipedia, the leading user-contributed encyclopedia. It may not have been reviewed by professional editors (see full disclaimer)"? That's why I suggested further research might be required. Or am I in the wrong? 86.149.22.126 (talk) 17:26, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Also see Category:Websites which mirror Wikipedia (and there are many others that don't have Wikipedia articles about them). 86.149.22.126 (talk) 17:51, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: The Complete Silly Song Collection
Hello Fngosa, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of The Complete Silly Song Collection - a page you tagged - because: Not nonsense - there is meaningful content.

File copyright problem with File:Tetamashimba.JPG
Thank you for uploading File:Tetamashimba.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. ww2censor (talk) 01:59, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Laakson Palloseura
I removed your WP:CSD tag from, because the article does not meet that criterion. It states that the club is in the Kolmonen league. This is an assertion of significance, because we have other articles about clubs in the same league - see Kolmonen. &mdash; Sebastian 04:47, 9 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank You my friend. google search showed very little information about the club. also because the club was formed recently, it did appear not to be a significant club worth to be in encyclopedia. I will tag the article with an appropriate tag, not enough content.....ARTICLE TO STAY THOUGH......09:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your nice reply, and for doing the research! You're probably right that the club is not notable -I don't know much about soccer and Finland - and I have no objection to deleting it. I only objected to speedy deletion, because the criterion for that is not the same as notability. &mdash; Sebastian 20:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you my friend. 21:00, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Template:Latest stable software release/Foxmail
Re. edits to Template:Latest stable software release/Foxmail‎
 * The version number and date in the template are designed to be transcluded (included in) the article Foxmail and also include a 'back to Foxmail' link for users accessing the template directly.
 * Your edit removed the content (the version number and date). It also changed 'back to Foxmail' to a redirect. It makes no sense to redirect a template to an article, especially not to the article which includes that template. As a result this redirect also caused a template loop error in Foxmail, breaking that article's content as well. Therefore I have reverted your edits. Regards, 86.153.202.47 (talk) 19:16, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * thanks, please consider signing up an account with wiki. cheers for the correction. Freshymail-user_talk:fngosa--the-knowledge-defender 11:21, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll sign in. As I asked before you deleted my comment: why do you say "thanks" and still "Revert 1 edit by 86.153.202.47 identified as vandalism to last revision by Fngosa."?
 * Your edit breaks Foxmail. It causes a template loop error. The template is meant to show a version number and date in Foxmail, but you have deleted that content and replaced it with a redirect. Please trust me, that is not the right thing to do, so again (and with apologies) I have reverted your edit. Good luck and good wishes,  Esowteric + Talk  12:56, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the second revert may ve been a big mistake...cheers... Freshymail-user_talk:fngosa--the-knowledge-defender

Fair use rationale for File:Lilly_Temboa.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Lilly_Temboa.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? feydey (talk) 14:20, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

File:Mad_president.jpg
I have tagged File:Mad_president.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. feydey (talk) 14:22, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Tetamashimba.JPG

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
