SS Ajax (1904) and SS Ajax (1889)
They're rather good articles, except that they are completely lacking in references. Do you have a source you are using to write them, and if so, can you cite it please? Thanks, C628 (talk) 02:54, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:SS Oslo (1906).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:SS Oslo (1906).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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 permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File 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 created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:33, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

Ship articles
Hi, I've noticed you've been creating a few ship articles using the Archaeosousmarine website as a source. You'll need to watch out for flags and countries, as in many cases they are not the same as they are today. I've been working on a guide at User:Mjroots/Flags which may be of some use (Europe and South America are fairly complete, others not started). Also, try to find other sources about the ships. Once you know the builder / owner / tonnage etc it greatly aids searching. You may be interested in joining the ships' Wikiproject - we have a page giving useful ship resources at WP:SHIPS/R. Any questions, feel free to ask. Mjroots (talk) 19:03, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Battle of Corinth Canal
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Battle of Corinth Canal, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=ah/aam/ah20070824c.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

WikiProject assessment tags for talk pages
Thank you for your recent articles, including Fuso Maru, which I read with interest. When you create a new article, can you add the WikiProject assessment templates to the talk of that article? See the talk page of the article I mentioned for an example of what I mean. Usually it is very simple, you just add something like to the article's talk, with keyword replaced by the associated WikiProject (ex. if it's a biography article, you would use WikiProject Biography; if it's a United States article, you would use WikiProject United States, and so on). You do not have to rate the article if you do not want to, others will do it eventually. Those templates are very useful, as they bring the articles to a WikiProject attention, and allow them to start tracking the articles through Article alerts and other tools. For example, WikiProject Poland relies on such templates to generate listings such as Article Alerts, Popular Pages, Quality and Importance Matrix and the Cleanup Listing. Thanks to them, WikiProject members are more easily able to defend your work from deletion, or simply help try to improve it further. Feel free to ask me any questions if you'd like more information about using those talk page templates. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 23:56, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Battle of the Corinth Canal
Please do not remove the Copyright Investigations tag from this article. I have restored it, as changing a word here and there does not address the issue. If you wish to re-write the article (a complete re-write, not just changing a few words, you have to change the presentation), you may do so Here but do not remove the tag again. Continuing to do so can be considered "repeatedly restoring copyrighted material", which can lead to a block. Crow Caw  23:07, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Battle of the Corinth Canal


A tag has been placed on Battle of the Corinth Canal, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.feldgrau.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27776. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.
 * It appears to be about something made up, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 "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.

Article deletion tagging & discussions
Hello, Indylover2010,

Even though you are an experienced editor, you seem new to the subject of article deletion on Wikipedia so I thought I'd pass along a few tips. First, anyone can remove a Proposed Deletion (PROD) tag, for any reason at all, even the article creator. PRODs are for uncontroversial deletions so since you had objections to the deletion of an article you wrote that was being PROD'd, I removed the PROD tag from the page. Frequently, editors who PROD articles that are de-PROD'd, will then take them to Articles for Deletion (AFD) but not always. It's considered good practice when you remove a PROD tag to use the edit summary to address the concerns of the editor who tagged it or, in general, work on improving the article to respond to their criticism and what might be missing from the article.

Speedy deletion (CSD) tags, on the other hand, can be removed by other editors but not by the page creator. The CSD criteria for deletion are very limited and are supposed to be for obvious problems like copyright violations and advertising. I delete a fair number of pages that have been tagged for speedy deletion and they are primarily newly created articles by inexperienced editors. Many of them are promotional in nature, either self-promotion or promoting a company or brand.

Regarding AFD tags, those can not be removed by any editor, including the page creator, until the AFD discussion is closed. The closer will remove the tag from an article that is not deleted. In a recent discussion, you responded to the AFD deletion rationale but along with that necessary component, you should also "Vote" which you can do but writing Keep for Keep or Delete for Delete. There are other common options that can be offered like Merge, Redirect or Draftify. Article creators are welcome to participate in AFDs for articles they create and to cast a "vote" as well. Although AFDs are not a matter of counting votes, reviewing them can be a quick way for editors looking at a discussion to see whether or not the deletion nomination has any support.

I hope this information helps you as you see your articles tagged for one of Wikipedia's forms of deletion. I urge you not to take such taggings personally (even though that can be a challenge), editors tagging articles (or tagging redirects, templates or categories) are well-intentioned and trying to remove content they believe doesn't meet Wikipedia's standards, typically of notability. But since I've been working in the AFD area this year, I've also seen a fair number of articles survive an AFD discussion and actually become better articles as other editors work to address any deficiencies in them. I've even seen articles be completely rewritten from weak articles into acceptable ones during the course of an AFD. So, unless an article is just truly garbage (which yours are not), the week of an AFD discussion is a rather fluid process that can be unpredictable depending on who chooses to participate in the discussion and how well they evaluate content and sources. As a content creator, it can be helpful to listen dispassionately to what editors are saying and trying to take any criticism in a constructive way that can help you become a better writer, at least by Wikipedia standards. Good luck! Liz Read! Talk! 23:23, 2 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Goodday, Liz,
 * Thank you very much for your explanation on the subject of article deletion. I must admit that I'm not used to such discussions and processes yet, so it was indeed a little complicated to fully understand the steps and instructions that tend to come along with it. I mainly wanted to save the articles because I believed that deletion was a bit extreme, so I wished to know how to fix or improve the article so it would become acceptable for Wikipedia's standards. My main goal is to add articles to red links for subjects that I believe would warrant an article. So although it saddens me if they are marked for deletion with the remarks that it doesn't comply to notability standards, I'll of course try to save the article. But if in the end it would get deleted, I wouldn't take it personally, I would be sad yes, but I wouldn't see it as a personal attack. I only wish for Wikipedia to flourish, with as many good written articles as possible. I just hope that mine are able to take their place within those good ones. Still, thank you a thousand times for taking the time to write such a good and thorough explanation for me, so I can better understand the deletion process. Have a great day!

Stavfjord moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Stavfjord, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more in-depth coverage about the subject itself, with citations from reliable, independent sources in order to show it meets WP:GNG. It should have at least three. And please remember that interviews, as primary sources, do not count towards GNG. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Short descriptions for election stubs.
Hello, @Indylover2010. I have recently noticed the creation of several Connecticut-related election articles. I would like to let you know that these articles do not need a short description, as per WP:SDNONE. Thank you Burgeoning Contracting  03:38, 12 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you for notifying me on the matter. I will take it into account. Indylover2010 (talk) 03:42, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. You might also find it beneficial to add Template:Connecticut-election-stub to articles created with lower amounts of content. Burgeoning Contracting  03:46, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

Ourcampaigns.com is a wiki

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. ''See my message above and this RfC about ourcampaigns.com. Please stop using this source.'' Fram (talk) 12:25, 15 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Good day Fram
 * I just based my sources on those many other election articles use. They have all used Ourcampaigns without issue, and everytime I've checked the results on the site with the results in other avalaible media (when there is one) it checks out. The Ourcampaign pages have also remained unchanged in many years, so I doubt any unreliable information is present on the site. I've read the discussion and the concensus seems to be divided with some seeing no issue with it while others think it's unreliable without any real resons for it. So if many election articles have used this among their sources for years, then why is it now suddenly an issue when wikipedia itself hasn't outright blacklisted it as a source yet. I'd suggest to just blacklist Ourcampaigns as a source if it truly is as flawed as you claim it to be, otherwise I can't see why it can't be used for referincing.
 * Kind regards, Indylover2010 (talk) 00:56, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
 * One issue with it is that when there are no known votes (because there is only one candidate, or because the results have not been noted), the site lists it (and you copy it) as there being "one vote cast", which isn't true (see e.g. 1802 Virginia gubernatorial election, which person had the right to cast that one vote to decide who would be governor?). Anyway, you don't have to believe me, there was a 2021 RfC about this, and the site has been declared "generally unreliable" there, so please don't add it to any articles.

Thank you for creating Arthur Ryerson.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Autopatrolled granted
Hi Indylover2010, I just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled user right to your account. This means that pages you create will automatically be marked as 'reviewed', and no longer appear in the new pages feed. Autopatrolled is assigned to prolific creators of articles, where those articles do not require further review, and may have been requested on your behalf by someone else. It doesn't affect how you edit; it is used only to manage the workload of new page patrollers.

Since the articles you create will no longer be systematically reviewed by other editors, it is important that you maintain the high standard you have achieved so far in all your future creations. Please also try to remember to add relevant WikiProject templates, stub tags, categories, and incoming links to them, if you aren't already in the habit; user scripts such as Rater and StubSorter can help with this. As you have already shown that you have a strong grasp of Wikipedia's core content policies, you might also consider volunteering to become a new page patroller yourself, helping to uphold the project's standards and encourage other good faith article writers.

Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing! –&#8239;Joe (talk) 07:13, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

1886 Dutch general election
Hello. Thank you very much for creating this article. One question though – the results table is sourced to the Bromley & Kossman and Nohlen & Stöver books. While the vote figures are in Nohlen & Stöver, the Bromley & Kossman book doesn't actually list the 1886 election results (it only has results for 1883 and 1887), or at least doesn't do so on the page listed (page 198) – you can download the entire book through the WikiLibrary if you wish to use it yourself! Just wondering where the seat figures were actually taken from. Cheers, Number   5  7  01:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Nonpartisan
If you add "with party link" to election boxes, as you did here, it creates a link to the disambiguation page Nonpartisan. This is undesirable. If you insist on having links in all these boxes (which, frankly, I think adds no value whatsoever to the reader, but perhaps you disagree), then at least please change the party value to "Nonpartisan politician", so that it will link to a relevant article instead of to a disambiguation page. Thank you in advance. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 12:35, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:SS Russian (1895).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:SS Russian (1895).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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:RMS Amazon (1906).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:RMS Amazon (1906).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file's talk 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
