4,000 Years old Bronze Picture in History of China
Go head with the deletion. All the bronze pictues I uploaded got the approvals from the owner and I have attached the email from the owner too, if anyone can read the history of the images page or the files. From time to time, I got deletion tags and I have explain again and again and again how and from whom I got these pictures. The type of the tags had been changed at least 3 times too along with the policy change. Despite that, finally, they were all deleted now. Happy? you won? So, the only thing I try to say is that, you can delete those pictures, but you can not detroy the real 4,000 years fine bronze piece in China, and they are still there. Please read all the deletion notifications on my talke page and continue to abuse wikipedia's deletion friendly policies, continue to distort wikipedia and continue to turn wikipdedia into a coldwar machine!

Hej
Hej there, Fred, I only just noticed this talkpage had been created, that's how observant I am. Thanks for your good wishes. Bishonen | talk 19:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC).

Värmdö Municipality
Hello. I have just noticed you reverted my edits to the Värmdö Municipality article. I believe this was unnecessary, as the sentence I removed was totally unreferenced. The sentence "Today, Värmdö is a rapidly expanding suburban area to Stockholm and also one of the most exclusive areas for summer houses in´Sweden," may be easily challenged, since the IP editor who added the sentence provided no sources for the sentence. I believe I acted correctly by removing the unsourced information, and I see no explanation for your reversion of my edits. Please explain your actions, and I will gladly accept them. Thank you. Yours truly, Boricuaeddie Talk •  Contribs  •  Spread   the love! 23:59, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, can't we wait for someone to challenge it before removing it? Or just add a fact? / Fred-Jn 22:08, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

GAC backlog elimination drive
This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :GAReview underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy. If you have any questions about this drive or the review process, leave a message on the GAC talk page. --Nehrams2020 00:27, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

"Municipal towns" - a question
Hallo! I am currently working with the municipalities of Sweden. Presently I am writing own articles about the seats (centralorter) as in the Swedish and German WPs. I have a question to you. In some articles about municipalities there are lists of the tätorter in the municipality. They are sometimes called "Municipal towns". I have figured out that you have written some of those lists. A tätort is normally called locality by Statistics Sweden (SCB). Where did you find the term "municipal town"? To me it sounds like some home-spun translation of the swedish term "municipalsamhälle", which was something else. Before I make some large-scale changes of this terminology it would be interesting to know if municipal town really is a term used in English to describe non-administrative buit-up areas like the Swedish concept of tätort. --Muniswede 13:18, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Muniswede.
 * "Municipal towns" just literally refers to towns of the municipality. If you want to call them localities instead, it's OK -- I don't think it is a big deal.
 * Fred-Jn 13:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I just wondered if the term had been found in some English language litterature, or if it was an "own" construction. I think "municipal" in this case could be misleading. You mean "in or of the municipality", but it could be interpreted as "towns with a municipal capacity", which they don't have. --Muniswede 20:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah yes, I now understand what you mean. Yes it is bad if it is interpreted in that way. / Fred-Jn 21:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Ship Districts?!
There are a lot of articles about various "Ship Districts" in Sweden. I think you have written them (as "Mic". On that page I was directed to FredChess. I don´t know for sure if you are all the same. If not, just don't mind my questions!) Questions: Is "Ship District" an accepted term in English for the Swedish word "Skeppslag"? Did you find it somewhere in serious English-language literature on the subject? Or is it just some home-made translation? --Muniswede 21:04, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Kite picture
Yes, I took that picture. I may be able to dig up the negative. I scanned and uploaded it to en.wikipedia.org years ago when wikipedia didn't keep track of a lot of things and before I started digital photography. Someone else moved it to Common. That is fine with me, but why the original history is lost? Beats me. I am not even a member of the Common. Besides, read near the bottom of my user page and associate me with some alternative identities. I might have done it in my altered ego. Kowloonese 06:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Neat article Helgeandsholmen
I found a really neat Sweden-related article, Helgeandsholmen, just randomly surfing wikipedia. It hadn't been tagged as part of the Sweden wikiproject, and it looks like sort of an orphan. The article seems really well developed though, with a few more refs this could easily be a Good Article. Just thought I point it your way. Jeff Dahl 05:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Serbia = Sweden?
So you really think that it's a good idea to base the Swedish CoA on the Serbian? --Camptown 20:05, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Please --
 * I'm not saying the svg it looks good. Because I don't think it does. But -- it is accurate. Even if the cloth is based on the Serbian coat of arms. It is more important to be accurate than to be aesthetic.
 * I also didn't know the 1908 was wrong until I was informed of it recently.
 * Fred-J 20:08, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * No, you (and your informer) are essentially wrong. But, I forgot that you are just a destructive editor who instantly reverts to edit wars, despite the fact that there is an agreement to wait for a better vectorized version of the Swedish coat of arms. It's only a waste of time to communicate with you. --Camptown 20:14, 23 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your opinion. You are of course welcome to inform me and my informers why we are wrong, when the svg is following the blazon as it is described on Coat_of_arms_of_Sweden. Perhaps you have further information, that me and my informers are unaware of? / Fred-J 20:15, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of article Bosnian Mujahideen - pls help me deal with a difficult editor
Hi, I'm having a problem with a The Dragon of Bosnia who has repeatedly deleted an article which I edit called Bosnian Mujahideen (see edit history here ). He has also deleted links to the article on other articles. He seems to be basing his deletion of the article on two sets of arguments: In the interest of avoiding an edit war I would like some assistance from you as an adminstrator.Osli73 11:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) that the term Bosnian Mujahideen does not exist. In fact the term is used by published (research and books) experts.. I admit though that there are other terms often used, such as El Mujahid, El Mujaheed or just Mujahideen (spelled in various forms).
 * 2) claims the article is based on "false info/original research" or "propaganda attempt or original research if you wish, based on unverified sources per WP:RS". As you will see from the references used in the article it is quite thoroughly sourced from what must be judged to be neutral and/or reliable sources.
 * 3) states that "there is already particular article" This refers to an article called 7th Muslim Brigade, which The Dragon of Bosnia is an editor of. Not only do I find this article to be blatantly POV and lacking in verifiable sources it also does not cover the Bosnian Mujahideen.

I don't agree. There were no Bosnian Mujahideen, just particular units such as El-Mujahid, so I redirected that made-up term to the article about the unit (redundancy). According to ICTY, Serb propaganda fabricated much of these stories so this is not a right place for that. For example there is the whole article about Serb propaganda in the Stakić verdict:The media

"One example of such propaganda was the derogatory language used for referring to non-Serbs such as mujahedin, Ustasa or Green Berets, although at the time there were no foreign volunteers in Bosnia."

Read: No original research:


 * 1) Wikipedia is not a venue for publishing, publicizing or promoting original research in any way. No original research, or NOR, is a corollary to two other policies:
 * 2) Our original major content policy, neutral point of view (NPOV) encourages editors to add undisputed facts, including unbiased accounts of various people's views. It has traditionally forbidden editors from inserting their own views into articles, and demands that Wikipedia balance the relative prominence of differing viewpoints based on their prominence in the relevant field.
 * 3) Our verifiability policy (V) demands that information and notable views presented in articles be drawn from appropriate, reliable sources.

Osli73, you were earlier blocked many times because of your behaviour: so I advice you to stop propagating false info/original research.

You shouldn't misuse Wikipedia by uploading unverified photos, too. The war is over, propaganda should be over too. The Dragon of Bosnia 11:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Reply to Dragon of Bosnia, Given the above, I can't see what the basis of your opposition to this article is really based on. Osli73 11:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) the sources I cite (which you do not contest or mention) do specifically refer to the "Bosnian Mujahideen"
 * yes, the Bosnian Mujahideen were often referred to as El Mujahid or El Mujaheed, as I state in the article.
 * 1) 'your' article on the 7th Muslim Brigade is, in my opinion, (a) considerably less NPOV, (b) less well sourced (and not verifiable sources either) and (3) deals more with the Mujahideen as they were used in Serb propaganda rather than discussing the actual unit.
 * 2) the article is based on verifiable and reliable sources (pls note the list of references). I have exclusively used American and British media and government sources as well as ICTY documents precisely to avoid the type of knee-jerk accusation of "Serb propaganda" which you claim.
 * 3) I agree that Bosnian Mujahideen was a part of Bosnian Serb propagande during the war. That doesn't mean they did not exist.

There are already articles called 7th Muslim Brigade, and The role of foreign volunteers. This is just redundant WP:OR article, based on unrelaible sources per WP:RS. On the other hand my sources are International court findings. The sources should be relaible, such as verdicts, verified documents, not blog, websites or unverified pictures/photo montague. You also tried to delete the cause of foreign volunteers arrival, and the cause were mass war crimes committed by Serb forces. This is the ICTY conclusion. So when you talk about NPOV, I juct can't understand your earlier actions. The Dragon of Bosnia 12:01, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Eskilstuna and Växjö
Hi,

I'm in the middle of a cursory cleanup of the IPA on Wikipedia. I see that back in Aug-Sept. 2005 you added pronunciations to these two articles, with a breve in front. Since a stranded breve is meaningless in the IPA, I deleted it, but wonder if you might have been indicating tone. It would be great if you were, as we almost never get Swedish tone in Wikipedia articles. Please let me know if you were, and we can work out some more intuitive way of representing it. kwami (talk) 23:17, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I can't help you. I didn't add the IPA to Växjö, it was added to Växjö Municipality at an earlier time and I believe the same applies to Eskilstuna.
 * Fred-J 17:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * However, when it comes to IPAs, one person who is interested in it, and has added several, is user:Peter Isotalo.

Þingalið
Hi. I've reviewed the article Þingalið, which you nominated for GA. I've got concerns over breadth and neutrality. There is also some debate over whether Þingalið is the correct or only term for the warriors discussed in the article. Please see the talk page. The GA nom is on hold til tomorrow, sorry for the late notice, but I mistakenly assumed Berig was the nominator, as you have not edited the article. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 10:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, no problem. Still, thank you for reviewing.
 * There's not much I can add to the article anyways; it isn't my field...
 * Fred-J 15:55, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No trouble. I got some more expert advice in, so there are at least some good suggestions and links on the talk page now for the next time someone picks the article up. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 09:48, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Prehistoric Sweden
Would you advise me to rename the Prehistoric Scandinavia article back to Prehistoric Sweden? I don't know enough about Norway and Finland to write the article under the current heading. And the current content does not fit that heading. Martin Rundkvist (talk) 09:33, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Österåker City Arms.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Österåker City Arms.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. BetacommandBot (talk) 04:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

"a unanimous"
Hi. (: I don't know if you care, but I just thought I'd let you know why I reverted this edit to the article Jerry Falwell. "A unanimous" is not incorrect usage because unanimous begins with a y sound.  "A" would be used in this instance just as it would in "a year," "a university," or "a uniform."  I didn't know if you would wonder why I reverted your edit or not; if it were me, I would be curious.  See you around. (: Ashley {talkback} 02:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Bollnäs City Arms.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Bollnäs City Arms.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Image:Norrköping_Symbol.png
I have tagged Image:Norrköping_Symbol.png as orphaned fairuse. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add article name to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Fair use rationale for Image:Reptar.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Reptar.gif. 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.   Asenine   23:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Plenisalen Riksdagen Sweden 300dpi.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Plenisalen Riksdagen Sweden 300dpi.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

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  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. ViperSnake151 18:26, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
