User talk:Kevinalewis/2008archiveQ3

Welcome - to my July 2008 – September 2008 talk archive

It is
It is the first edition of Russka cover. I've got the book.

All is written inside about it is the yeat, 1991, and the country, Great Britain. The thing is that the first edition of the book was published that year in the UK, and in that year in generak only to editions were released, a UK one and an American one, which shows it's the first edition.

The problem is in the article about it. Hope you noticed the families were partly based on real families.

I dont remember who were who in the book, i mean i dont remember families by surnames. The peasents who became rich by doing buisness were based on the Strogonovs. I cant remember the real nobility house though of the one that was friend of Ivan The Terrible and offered to add his house in the Oprishina territories.

The Mystery of Holly Lane
I just moved the article on the Blyton book to the title above, and noticed you had previously moved it, saying the book "doesn't have a 'The'". However, although it may often be listed without one, I think it always has one on the cover: see The Enid Blyton Society page on the book. Anyway, I thought I should let you know about the move.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Lindisfarne Live73.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Lindisfarne Live73.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:55, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of David Watson (creationist)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article David Watson (creationist), 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. HrafnTalkStalk 19:00, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for removing the prod-template on the basis of a broken link to an unreliable source making wild claims about a debate with which Watson was only peripherally involved. This neither provides verification nor establishes notability for the article, so I have restored the 'unsourced' and 'notability' templates. I will most probably get around to AfDing this article in the near future. HrafnTalkStalk 08:29, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Descendants of Elizabeth
Hello! I also am descended from Elizabeth, though not from her marriage to William Hallett. I come from the Feake marriage. Elizabeth is my 10th great grandmother and her daughter Hannah Feake who marries John Bowne is my 9th great grandmother. I think this novel is very very accurate, all things considered. Have you seen the documentary that was doner by the Greenwich Historical Society about 7 years ago? If not, I have a copy I could share with you.

Replaceable fair use Image:JulesVerne_AJounreyToTheCentreOfTheEarth.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JulesVerne_AJounreyToTheCentreOfTheEarth.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Garion96 (talk) 17:06, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:GeorgeRRMartin AStormOfSwords UK.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:GeorgeRRMartin AStormOfSwords UK.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 14:39, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

WP:NOVELS
Hi, Kevin, are you active again? It's been a mess without you heading the project and I haven't had much time in the last few months (nor, I admit, knowledge in the area) to take charge. I've explained about the member roll call initiative, and hopefully it makes sense. Take a look at WP:FILM if it needs further explanation; this is the second year they've done such a thing and it's worked wonders for them. María ( habla con migo ) 12:07, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The whole point is to find out who is committed; there's no reason to have a list of people who couldn't give a crap about the project, right? :) Again, once the notice is sent out I expect people will figure out what's going on and make the necessary updates in order to reflect their activity level.  If we only end up with fifty active members, then at least we're not lying to ourselves with a bogus list of 300+ mostly inactive ones.  From there we can plan future projects, initiatives, etc. María ( habla  con migo ) 12:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be great! I was thinking of sending out the roll call notice myself today, just to get the ball rolling.  I think Boylo requested a bot to help with the newsletter, which he has vamped up and it looks quite nice, but I have no idea when it will be sent out.

Award
I hereby award you this barnstar for your tireless efforts in updating the WikiProject Novels class and importance tags.

WP:NOVELS 2
I've been more or less inactive in that project for ages now. If you guys need things doing in that project I might re-join. You guys wanted an up-todate active member list. I'm not active in the project so... unless some folks come up with some interesting things for me to do... (within the realm of technical tasks). ——  nix eagle 18:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll Take You There
Why did you delete the different parts of the novel? They are relevant to the plot...Zigzig20s (talk) 19:38, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:DavidWebberEricFlint 1633.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:DavidWebberEricFlint 1633.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:26, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

deleted section in talk page ?
Hi,

When you updated the talk page about the Rougon-Macquart to rate the article, you deleted one of my question. I would like to know if it's a mistake, or if you did it on purpose (if so why ?). Regards Ksempac (talk) 09:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

re: Unassessed novels and "monobook.js"
I had no idea what happened to Outriggr's script, and I've missed assessing articles so quickly, so of course I'd love to use yours! I linked to it from my monobook and tried it out; so far so good. It's a little different, however, in that when an article is part of a project, it writes it with a random question mark: "NovelsWikiProject ? Start/High", for example. Is that just me? Also, I like that it displays tons of projects. Much easier to assess. María ( habla con migo ) 12:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Copied and pasted, but it doesn't seem to be working. I refreshed my cache and everything. María ( habla  con migo ) 13:33, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

16thC-novel-stub
Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha?  01:24, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi again - you wrote: I do; all this does is place in novel-stub. If I was going to create a separate category after finding enough content then I would. Evidence the recent 18thC-novel-stub debate.


 * Yeah, I know about the 18C-novel-stub debate, which was why I was surprised that you created this without proposing it. Just because an 18th century stub was proposed and passed doesn't mean it's automatically ok to make ones for other centuries - they should still be proposed (as should any categories)! Grutness...wha?  09:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Agreed. That debate was for a preexisting template to have a category to support it. That is once associated article reach a certain watershed. This is a new template but feeds a prexisting category as "did" 18thC one.


 * Well yes, exactly - so why wasn't it proposed? It doesn't matter whether it feeds into a new category or an existing one, it is still a new template and should still have been proposed. Grutness...wha?  09:14, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * S'alright - it's an easy mistake to make - WP:STUB and the like are worded to emphasise the full template/category combination. Grutness...wha?  12:05, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
