I Know
As much as it kills me to, I wish we could face each other as men and debate, but the truth is they need to just fuck off and let the world be. Knights Templar woo hoo, but that was over 700 years ago, and no body liked them then, and your just not them. Your just acting like a bunch a smurfs who don't really know where your going or what you are doing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.55.242 (talk • contribs)

Request on 11:42:11, 14 December 2014 for assistance on AfC submission by Naganata
Hello,

I wrote an article about a young up and coming musician named Ewan McLennan. This was after a conversation with him and obtaining his agreement. I uploaded album covers and a photo from his web site that were removed. Ok, I'm, not really bothered about the photo as I can take one of him myself and use that, and I agreed that the album covers could wait. That said, I don't see what other stuff I used would be covered by copyright. The rest of the information was obtained from Ewan, or was quoting sites like the BBC, and other magazines that reviewed his albums and concerts. Where did I go wrong?

Any advice would be appreciated, as it's a shame that Ewan doesn't have an entry when he clearly passes the 'Notability' test you have.

Thanks, Dave (aka Naganata) Naganata (talk) 11:42, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Let me explain. (Almost) Everything in the world is copyrighted. Quotes, logos, images etc.

Quoutes from BBC and otherwebsites are only allowed in smallnumbers, such as one sentace, maximum. QUtes and text from the subject itself is also copyrighted to him. If he would like to donate that content,please read Donating copyrighted materials. (t) Josve05a  (c) 12:07, 14 December 2014 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the explanation. It seems I tried too hard to make him 'notable' by citing loads of references. I'll rework the article with less external references and maybe pad out the biographical part. I'll be back - as was once said, and no doubt copyrighted :)

Dr Domingues
I read the piece on jeronimo Dominguez, and very interesting. I went to his office with my parents and other family members. Like a lot of us seeking cures. Today my mother asked me to fined Dr Dominguez in the Internet, she believed so much in him. He told her in 70s that she was allergic to almost everything. Now she is feeling all the things the Dr told her. She is sad to find out he died. He helped a lot of Dominican that went to him. She was hoping someone he may have mentored took over and could give her a solution. I told her Doctors like him are very rare. He wanted to heal and prayer was part of healing.

Dags för dump?
Hej! Tacksam om du uppdaterar Check Wikipedia. Enligt uppgift är felet nu åtgärdat, men det krävs en ny dump så att det åter genereras ett meningsfullt resultat. Ha de //--Bulver (talk) 18:26, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Tack så mycket. Jag själv kan ite göra det så: Let's do a new dump for svWp. Something is buggy...(see the CHECKWIKI talk page). (t)  Josve05a  (c) 18:28, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Hej. Last svwiki dump was around November 29th, so a new dump should be made in the coming week.  A dump for svwiktionary was just completed.  On another note, my wife and I have been watching alot of Swedish shows lately.  We are currently watching Wallander.  We've watched Annika Bengtzon, Arne Dahl and Headhunters over the past few months.  We've come up with a sort of game.  Every time we hear the word 'tack' (or takk in Norwegian shows), the first one to repeat it gets to hit the other person.  She is an ex-boxer, so she really knows how to hit.  Yes, we are a loving couple. :) Bgwhite (talk) 08:08, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Simply 2 questions
Hikulus 07 (talk) 16:32, 28 December 2014 (UTC)simply two questions: concerning the article Silvius von Kessel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silvius_von_Kessel 1. How could I change a reference link (No. 5, Bach-Liszt-Organ Competition). It is not shown. The problem is that this link´s address is old and has to be replaced by www.bach-liszt-orgelwettbewerb.de 2nd question: why is this article a "stub": compare it with other similar articles (not classified as stubs), much shorter, with less references etc.. Shall I give you an example of another article with less information and references etc.- and not being a stub? Thank you for an answer, I am not a professional, might be silly questions....
