Images
Hi. If you think an image should be removed from an article or is inappropriate, it's a good idea to explain why on the talk page. Rather than just removing the link to an inappropriate image from an article, list it on Images and media for deletion (or, depending on the case, related pages as appropriate such as Copyright problems or Possibly unfree images). Cheers, -- Infrogmation 23:36, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

On the Catholic Church of Wikipedia
As you have described yourself as a Catholic, I thought I would alert you as a co-religionist to your opportunity to delete the particularly offensive article, Catholic Church of Wikipedia.--Thomas Aquinas 22:02, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

A Message to Pro-Life Wikipedians
The section "Foetal Pain" (Fetal Pain) has been deleted from the Abortion article. Could you help restore it? If you would like to see what was deleted, go to my talk page, scroll to "Fetal Pain," and click the provided link.--Thomas Aquinas 22:10, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Jesus
Check out the Jesus article and edit it to keep it focused on Jesus and a biographical account of Him. Watch the Jesus page to keep it focused on Him. Thank you. Scifiintel 22:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Pro-life Alliance
The article Pro-Life Alliance has been nominated for deletion. Chooserr

Gay rights in Iraq
You listed yourself as Roman Catholic so I thought I might bring this unencyclopedic total POV pushing article to your attention. It is currently up for deletion here. Chooserr 05:01, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Ham Radio!
Please see the discussion at Category talk:Amateur Radio Operator for a discussion on how to identify Hams and Ham personalities on Wikipedia. Steve Kd4ttc 02:30, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Societal attitudes towards homosexuality
Hey, thanks for retitling the section in Societal attitudes towards homosexuality. Its still not perfect, but its a lot better than the one I came up with. -Seth Mahoney 02:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove cited content
It might not have been your intent, but you recently removed content from Daisy chain. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:35, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Userbox Public Transit
According to The German solution, here’s a a tip for you: (in lieu of the blanked template:User Public Transit). -- Olve 22:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Anti-gay slogan
I edited your contribution to anti-gay slogan. I don't think it lost any of its original meaning, but you might want to check. As per my comments on Talk:Anti-gay slogan, it is not clear given your parenthetical statement how you see normatives to differ significantly from natural law, so I removed that and restructured the sentence. If you think it is important to return that removed bit, you might consider being more clear and citing it to a philosopher or church scholar. Additionally, if you are making a claim about the belief structure of the Catholic Church, you need to cite a statement by the Catholic Church where some church official or a church scholar makes that claim. See WP:CITE and WP:RS if in doubt about a given source's applicability. -Smahoney 04:35, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Ladispoli-Stemma.png, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal. If you have any questions, ask them at Media copyright questions. -- 13:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg
Thanks for uploading Image:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg. 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.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 21:37, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Homofascism
Homofascism, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that Homofascism satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Homofascism and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). You are free to edit the content of Homofascism during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Avruch Talk 05:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Disruptive edits
You appear to be engaged in an edit war. Please stop reverting without joining the discussion page. The person with whom you are engaged in the edit war HAS started talk page discussion. Please, wikipedia works through community collaboration, and when you make controversial edits without discussing them, it is not productive.

Also, you are abusing popups. It is never appropriate to use popup reverting to revert good faith edits.-Andrew c [talk] 15:20, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I came here to say much the same thing. Jake, please discuss the issue on the Abortion-related violence talk page. It would be greatly appreciated. If you can find reliable sources, then there isn't much to argue about. Until that time, the material is inappropriate for the article as it constitutes an unreliable/OR contribution. Phyesalis (talk) 22:12, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

KSirtet
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article KSirtet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? B. Wolterding (talk) 10:05, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of KSirtet

Image copyright problem with Image:Scholastica logo.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Scholastica logo.gif. 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.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. --FairuseBot (talk) 04:26, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Gabry Ponte


The article Gabry Ponte has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Sources clearly asserting notability and confirming the claims are not offered, and further Ghits fail to reveal sources that  comply  with  WP:RS. Appears to have no notable solo career. Fails at WP:BAND.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kudpung (talk) 13:40, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

December 2010
Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Gabry Ponte, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Removal of PROD without comment  or improvement  to article. Kudpung (talk) 01:05, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Gabry Ponte for deletion
A discussion has begun about whether the article Gabry Ponte, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Gabry Ponte until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Kudpung (talk) 01:18, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Eddy Wata


A tag has been placed on Eddy Wata, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but 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 A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. 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.

Orphaned non-free image File:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg
Thanks for uploading File:PreziosofeatMarvin-VoglioVerdertiDanzare.ogg. 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) 17:25, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Miller Trunk Corridor until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:36, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
