CCR v. Bush needs updating
Hello. I just stumbled across CCR v. Bush, of which you are the original author. The case is now closed, and it would be appropriate for you to update the article, if you have the time and inclination. J. D. Crutchfield &#124; Talk 20:07, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Isabelle Olsson (designer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Fast Company. 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.

Amanda Rosenberg
After your comments at WP:REFUND, Articles for deletion/Amanda Rosenberg has popped up. There really seems to be a cadre of editors that don't like anything remotely negative about google glass being here. Glasshole didn't survive either. The Dissident Aggressor 18:08, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:My muse Amanda looking great in the frames I designed for her.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:My muse Amanda looking great in the frames I designed for her.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. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 24.151.10.165 (talk) 23:36, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Abdul Rauf (Taliban governor)


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Abdul Rauf (Taliban governor). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Abdul Rauf Aliza. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Abdul Rauf Aliza – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. MelanieN (talk) 15:03, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your interest in Afghanistan. Sorry, but I believe you are mistaken to believe these two articles are about the same individual, for the reasons I stated on Talk:Abdul Rauf (Taliban governor).  Geo Swan (talk) 16:42, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, Geo, we've been waiting for your input at Talk:Abdul Rauf Aliza. Maybe the ping didn't work. We have been trying to sort out who was who. You argued strongly, based on chronology, that the former governor was a different person from the Guantanamo detainee recently killed by a drone strike, and that normally reliable sources have conflated them in error. So the current debate is whether there is enough biographical information about the former governor to base an article on, or whether it should be deleted. Based on the discussion at that page so far, I have deleted "governor" from the Abdul Rauf Aliza page, and I have redirected the "Isis recruiter' and "militant commander" pages to Abdul Rauf Aliza. If you believe we can clearly distinguish these as different people, and that we either have enough material to make a sourced article about each of them, or insufficient material so that they should be deleted rather than redirected, please chime in at that page. At this point we have four articles with massive overlap and probable conflation, and IMO that can't continue. Thanks. --MelanieN (talk) 20:14, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions. Are your new sentences careful to distinguish between the actions of Alverez and the actions of her office? Thanks. Hugh (talk) 22:09, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nothing is obvious
I placed a tag on Nothing is obvious that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an user page, or user talk page from the article space. (Mostly quoted from template.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Basically you can't create articles on Wikipedia that are designed to take encyclopedia readers to your user essays. MicroPaLeo (talk)|
