Hello~ I'm a new one to use Wiki. Therefore I don't know much things on Wiki. I just wrote an article about a firm. I don't put an ad or promote it. I just get some information about its website and want to write something about its company to practice on Wiki. I'm sorry to bother you to delete my page. I just want to know which aspect is wrong so that i can fix it next tome.K90113003 (talk) 13:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

10 August 2010: About the deletion of the Solita Oy page. Can I kindly request the restoration of the page? I disagree with you that it is/was advertising or promotion. Instead, it was only factual. Yes, the page was not that long but the main motivation for adding a page was not to promote the company but instead add the explanation for the term 'Solita'. Yes, it is a town in Colombia, yes it is used as a way to refer to women, but it is also a company of notable size and respect in Finland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivar solita (talk • contribs) 06:06, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Which two
Which two members of Sector 27 have srticles? Polargeo (talk) 11:38, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * See the blue links, unless you can show they are the wrong members. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Only one of the blue links is to a member of the band. Polargeo (talk) 11:40, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * You had better de link the other one, but one notable member is enough to avoid a speedy delete, and go for a prod instead. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:43, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No disagreemnt with you about not speedy deleting, I just wanted to know who else in the band was notable before considering whether this should be an AfD or not. I think I will just notability tag it and watchlist it for a few days first. Polargeo (talk) 11:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * So no prod? Any way there is plenty more for me to delete at this point (or not delete) Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:48, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I was just trying to find out if you actually knew something about the notability. Anyway prods are for uncontroversial cases where there is likely to be little complaint by the majority of wikipedians, not for testing the water before an AfD or to slip things under the radar. Although I know this is how most people seem to use them. Polargeo (talk) 11:56, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I seldom know anything about the bands, so I just look for any suggestion that they may meet something in WP:Music / WP:Band. Prod is a lazy way, that is why I do them far more. You can see I have started very very few AFD's myself! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:00, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hajvery University
Good morning Graeme, I'd like to ask a favour - could you remove the creation protection from Hajvery University, so I can move Hajvery University, Lahore to that spot, as there seem to be no other institutions with this name. The article has quite an amusing history, with several copyvio deletions in August-September 2008, followed by an "AFC submission"/"How-to-guide" which you declined. About a week after that, someone decided to try again with a slightly different title, which I came across this morning - cover your eyes if you are easily upset :P. I have gone through and removed just about as much copyvio and unsourced material as possible and added a couple of references outside of the college website. The only problem is that I think the article should be located at Hajvery University but that requires admin-powers. Green Giant (talk) 07:41, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for doing that :). When I tried moving the article, I got a message that said it was something only admins could do etc. Green Giant (talk) 08:09, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually you are right, it was create protected back in 2008. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:16, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Template Blp talk header
Blp talkheader is used by articles. Can you shed light on why it's been deleted? Was there a discussion deprecating this template and recommending a different one? Thanks. PL290 (talk) 14:03, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Seems bizarre that an in-use template can be deleted. Is there no "what links here" check before deleting a template? Where could I suggest/discuss that procedure? Anyway, I've now done an AWB run to fix all the pages that used it. PL290 (talk) 08:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

on deletion of K3RN3L
Dear Graeme Bartlett, I would like to have a serious explanation from you out of which reasons you've deleted the page about the theater group K3RN3L?

The European Society for Law and History--decline of speedy
I apologize if this comes off harsh, but your rational for removing the speedy deletion doesn't make any sense to me. First, why would we just accept someone's word that they are the owner of a copyrighted document, especially when the document is the property of an organization, not an individual? Second, even if the person were the owner, by WP:COPYVIO, we still can't put it on Wikipedia without it being CC-BY-SA, in public domain, or being explicitly donated. So it seems to me that unless/until we get the words donated, this has to be deleted/blanked. Is there some way I'm misinterpreting policy? I'll watch this page so you can reply here. Qwyrxian (talk) 12:20, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The speedy delete is for unequivocal cases. In this case there was a clear claim to own the copyright. This claim was quite beleivable. And cc-by-sa-3.0 was granted. Article was called The European Society for History of Law‎. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:07, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Alexander Robert Ulysses Lockmore
Are all inventors by default notable, even when the supposed invention isn't even explicable? And where are the reliable sources, or any sources, for that matter? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 16:54, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Manny Machado
Why did the page get deleted? There are many reliable references from reliable sources in the article and I am sure the article was improved from when it was created two months ago. He meets WP:GNG. There are other players in the 2009 MLB Draft and the 2010 MLB Draft that have pages with less info and/or less reliable sources and they are in the same situation as Machado and those pages are still around. Thanks for reading this. ¿Ice? (talk) 18:26, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Deletion review for Manny Machado
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Manny Machado. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.
 * Hello, I see that you restored this. Has it gone to deletion review? If so, that tag should be placed on his article so editors can comment on the review. moreno oso (talk) 16:18, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

The European Society for History of Law
Hi,

I noticed you declined the speedy tag for The European Society for History of Law, citing that the same author probably contributed the original and Wikipedia text. I nominated it for deletion because there was no indication that the text was licensed suitably for use on Wikipedia (cc-by-sa-3.0 or equivalent), so I believe that you are in error in removing the speedy tag (unless you know of some permission the author granted that I don't know of). Instead of restoring the tag, I plan to list it for AfD for the same reason (lack of copyright info). RJaguar3 &#124; u &#124; t 21:44, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Could you tell me why you deleted this page? I don't see it in the deletion log and we have OTRS permission for it if copyright was the only issue. If there was more, could you add something to the log so I can show them what the problems are?

A last request
Thank you Graeme Bartlett, for paying attention to my request and set aside time to answer. For start, I sincerely doubt that I will become an administrator, with those who want the same, chances for me are horribly low, and I fully realize that we all make mistakes and sometimes I make a mistake because I do not pay attention, but the file that I put there in the my request, there I have more than 15 mistakes and it was happened when I was just logged on Wikipedia, and I did not know how was editing worked then. I really do not want to be there, because when someone wanted to see the history of that file and see that it was filled with all my mistakes, and because of that I really would like it to be deleted, and on the other hand, it is the history of uploaded file, not the actual article, so is possible with no problems to be deleted (this is of file I want to be deleted). Then in my Upload log page I do not really wanted to be deleted everything, I wanted only one file, and it's File:Clash2010Soundtrack.jpg, because it is the first file that I sent and that there is no previous version that was sent by someone else. There are actually two that file because I thought that maybe if I send the file back, the first will disappear, but I was fooled, and I only want to that two files be erased completely. Sorry that I have so much stretch but since you told me that if I want to delete to tell you, and after all I want to be deleted, I really want if that's not a problem to you. Thank you again for everything. Corey.7.11.1992 14:50, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

If you look at the talkpage you will see that it wasn't just copy off one page of the website, but the whole text is copied from various pages on the persons website. I realise that for small section of copyvio you just remove it but there doesn't appear to be anything salvageable in this (and I have checked the article history for earlier versions). Quantpole (talk) 12:01, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Bump. Just in case you didn't notice this. (If you can't remember you declined a copyvio speedy, but the rest of the article is still a copy). Quantpole (talk) 07:39, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * I have remove more of the dubious paragraphs, do you want to check if the paragraph on Australia is a problem too? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:08, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've removed a bit more. To be honest I was thinking of taking this to AfD anyway on notability grounds, but then noticed that pretty much all of the text seemed to be a copy, hence the speedy tag. Quantpole (talk) 16:19, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Move conflicts
First at 5-4-3_rule and then at Oh, Brother! you and I seem to be stepping on one another's toes rather a lot. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:29, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey I did not notice the 5-4-3 rule! This sort of double move happens more than it should.  Perhaps we need a "closing" option or button to prevent a double delete action. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:36, 3 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I have wondered about that. I also wonder if it ever happens and is not noticed. Must do sometimes, I guess. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:51, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

hi,

Jonathan Despres is one of the best futurist in the world, the subject has a major impact on society and the future of humanity. This guy is as important as Saul Kent, Keith Henson, Luke Nosek, David Pearce or Natasha Vita-More. As popular and as useful as them. My job would have been to add references to the page. Please let me know if you can add the page again. This is because you don't understand our community, our small society, because you would find Jonathan very important.

"The life of a human in 2200 will be richer than the life of the richest in 2020. That is why I love life." --Jonathan Després

"If you don't think about the future, you cannot have one." --John Golsworthy

you understand my friend ? Jonathan is a good futurist since a long time, you will agree. Let me know, have a good day and thanks for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Despres (talk • contribs) 12:42, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

every futurist like David Pierce or Saul Kent or Keith Henson or Natasha Vita more did their own self promotion, there is nothing bad in this. We are very popular in our field. There is nothing bad in that. I am actually very popular on internet, it's just that I comment everything about me on internet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Despres (talk • contribs) 12:59, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Re. Salad Fingers: The Game

License tagging for File:AtlanticCollegelogo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:AtlanticCollegelogo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 13:05, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Request your opinion once more
Hi, Graeme Bartlett. I would like your opinion once more about the copyright of photos of fossils and butterflies in Beijing Museums. I have posted an example photo in the thread of what I intend to upload for the fossils. All my images are similar. So if this one is okay, the rest would be too. I want to be extra careful about making sure there are no copyright problems before uploading a bunch of images and creating a major headache. Jason Quinn (talk) 19:33, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Template:Ifu s
Hello Graeme Bartlett. I was wondering why you created Ifu s; it appears to be effectively redundant to Ifu a. Is there a special purpose or situation in which it should be used in place of the latter? If not, I plan to merge them for uniformity on the FFU page.

Answer to a remark
Hello, Graeme Bartlett. I found the comment on my article Chinese calendar and history that it relies essentially on one source. About each of the historical events mentioned in the article the reader can consult Wikipedia and the sources therein. In this sense, the content of the article is verifiable. I am not aware of another source, where the rules mentioned in my article are being considered. (People are more interested in studying each event rather than finding analogies between the different events.) To understand these rules one must know the historical events and then see the analogy. On the other hand, to require that someone else as well studies these rules first, and only then to have an article in Wikipedia - this seems not quite natural. Wikipedia is a way of diffusing knowledge after all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.59.10.172 (talk) 12:19, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Addendum to the previous
Dear Graeme Bartlett,

I added another reference to my article Chinese calendar and history. Unfortunately, it is in Russian. I'll try to contact the Russian author to see whether his book is translated into the English. His name appears in red (I put it in ), although there is an article about him in the Russian Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZildarVPK (talk • contribs) 09:07, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Answer
Dear Graeme Bartlett,

I have been looking at the book of Grigory Semyonovich Kvasha (cited now in my article) some years ago. Unfortunately, I did not buy it then (I didn't know that some day I would need it). It talks about triples of years of the Chinese calendar (I mentioned these triples in my article) and corresponding triples of persons born in these years and having played in some sense analogous roles in history. He also considers such triples of years and the events that have taken place during them and comments on the character of the events. I tried to contact Kvasha via Internet, I'll see whether there will be an answer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZildarVPK (talk • contribs) 15:22, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Graeme, just got this.
Any chance I can see what the concern was? I may have been able to do edits to correct his concerns:

Speedy deletion nomination of John A. Ware A tag has been placed on John A. Ware, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. andy (talk) 11:18, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi We creates a page for Toni Rowland who we manage and represent. This was quite some time ago and we need to update the relevantinformation. When I came to update the page I see it has had a special deletion due to content copyright.

Jones map
What was your reasoning in restoring the map in the Jones (surname) article? I am guessing that you think the copyright issue is resolved. I am inclined to remove it again: I agree with the original removal that it is OR from a source with no provenance; additionally, it is UK-centric in an article that already has too little world-wide coverage; has no scale so is of little value as data; and the uploader has failed to take out an OTRS ticket or put a notice on his site despite being aware that this is a requirement for the best part of two months. Thought I ought to get your take on it first though, before doing anything.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  12:05, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello Spinning Spark, The reason was that I came across it while looking at another Jones image with the same name that was a problem. The high level reason is that the article is actually improved by having that picture added.  OR is allowed in images unlike text, and in this case there was also an explanation of how it was created, so it is more an original presetation.  And this is only original from that author, as they had published before.  After reading the talk about the copyright and the notice text on the original web page I was happy that the copyright had been sorted out. That the low resolution image had been released as claimed.  Since the name came from the UK in the first place it is fair enough to have UK information.  If you think it a bias I would suggest you move the image lower in the article instead. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 19:52, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * OR is not allowed in images (if you think it is, please point to policy). Of course a user can create an original artwork, but what that does not allow one to do is use the image to present facts, or make a synthesis, that was not in the sources.  Sp in ni  ng  Spark  02:10, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * One policy is Image use policy which fails to say anything on the topic. WP:OR says they are OK if original ideas or arguments. In this case the idea is certainly not original. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * WP:OR does not say they are ok, it says they are not ok;
 * "Original images created by a Wikipedian are not considered original research, so long as they do not illustrate or introduce unpublished ideas or arguments, the core reason behind the NOR policy."
 * The map represents a synthesis of primary source data (telephone books) in which neither the methodology or results are verified by a reliable source.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  12:35, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

MySchool
G'day Graeme,

In regards to the MySchool website, the problem isn't so much linking to it as using data from it. In response to the publication of the rankings of schools by SMH and others last year, ACARA tightened up its ToS and copyright statements. I am very concerned with Clause 12(c) of it's ToS, which states thus:

12. Subject to Clauses 7,8 and 10, you must not, without our prior written permission, do any of the following things:

...

c)    compete with or displace the market for this Site and its Content;

A broad reading of this suggests that it is inappropriate to use their content to provide information which could be used in a similar fashion to MySchool. This is why any link to the MySchool website immediately redirects to the splash page. Being that one of the criticisms about the leagues table issue last year was that ACARA didn't pursue SMH and others, I expect that they'll be a lot more aggressive from here on in. I don't want to see wikipedia made an example of. Where a citation is necessary, I strongly suggest looking to other sources (such as the school's Annual School Report, or equivalent, which is usually better anyway as it will provide history of certain data and context).

In regards to my personal feelings, while it has nothing to do with the legality of the issue. I oppose the current way that information is presented at the MySchool website, but I expect that the next version will be better. *shrug* -Danjel (talk) 23:53, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Image validation
Hello Graeme Bartlett, you recently flagged an image of Mattthew Skenandore I uploaded, I have the author's explicit approval to use his image. How can we verify this? The image is from a low-res film still taken many years ago, no higher resolution file exists. Also he has given me permission to add a number of paintings he has done to a gallery within the wiki article, what do you recommend as validation? He is using flickr under the nickname qualitytimelord but is willing to provide any reasonable ID you wish. Thanks! Curlyharpy1 (talk) 06:03, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Whats Eating Gilbert Grape cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Whats Eating Gilbert Grape cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:06, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

I looked at the copyright page (including templates such as PD-self but am still not clear. Can you advise? (2) Not to be a stickler but you used the word "very" as in "Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously." I'm not a fan of hyperbole. Does the word "very" add anything beyond the word "seriously"?

Undeletion request
Hello,

On 29 August 2009, between 8:01 and 8:02, you deleted the files: The reason was "F5: Unused non-free media".
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series3.010.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series3.002.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series3.001.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series2.010.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series2.002.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series2.001.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series1.010.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series1.002.gif
 * File:Eurocoin.va.series1.001.gif

This a request for undeletion of those files, for the following reason.

The files used to illustrate the article Vatican euro coins and the different articles on the respective euro values. As they are non-free images of "national" sides of euro coins (see Template:Non-free currency-EU coin national), their description pages also included a fair use rationale. At that point, all was well. However, the problem arose when those Wikipedia files were removed from the articles in March 2009 by a user (see diff.), who also replaced them by links to copies that had been uploaded to Commons. Unfortunately, that user did so without regard for the fact that the images were not free and that, consequently, the copies that had been uploaded to Commons were there against the Commons policy and they would eventually get deleted from the Commons site (see for example ). So, at that point when, in August 2009, you deleted in good faith the Wikipedia files, they were indeed "unused", but normally they should have been in use, because they should never have been removed from the articles by the user. Ideally, that user's action would have been noticed and undone and the files put back into place in the articles. Unfortunately, apparently nobody noticed it between March (removal) and August (deletion) and the anomaly continued to this day. Anyways, better late than never. Now, Commons is currently in a process of deleting the non-free copies (yes, it did take time) and it will become even more necessary that we restore the Wikipedia files, so that the images can be in place in the articles. I think the copies on Commons will probably be deleted soon and it would be nice to have our Wikipedia images already back in place by then.

Consequently, could you please undelete the files mentioned? I hope my explanation was clear. Thanks in advance for your help.
