Re
Hey Marshal, good to see you

Thank you, I'm glad that you think that my workshop is improving. My plan was to complete some last parts (music and Bolivian and Chilean variations), give it a review (there are some parts that I'll modify later, I'm not so satisfied with them) then add the pictures, and load it next week but maybe I can do it earlier. You'll be checking the final work soon then others will be able to improve the article too. Best regards.  Erebedhel  -  Talk  06:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alberto Flores Galindo
A tag has been placed on Alberto Flores Galindo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

GOCE Backlog Elimination Drive Wrap-up
Delivered by MessageDeliveryBot on behalf of The Utahraptor at 22:17, 3 August 2010 (UTC).

August 2010
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Ceviche a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. I've identified several other problems with this move at Talk:Ceviche Beeblebrox (talk) 15:35, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Ceviche
Let me know when you're done, I tagged the article with a GOCEinuse tag but evidently you haven't noticed. Nuujinn (talk) 21:32, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I owe you a beer
For the addition of references to the ceviche article, well done! -- Nuujinn (talk) 00:51, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, this article is a bit close to my heart, I'm from the southeatern US, and I used to make a catfish ceviche back in the 1980s when I worked as a house painter. Lime and onion and garlic and cayenne pepper, put it in the cooler when I left for work, done by lunch. Yum! -- Nuujinn (talk) 02:16, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Teofilo Cubillas.png
Thank you for uploading File:Teofilo Cubillas.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file 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 file 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 files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file 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. Rodhull andemu  21:16, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I reverted your edit to Herodotus and I hope this won't cause you any annoyance.

Proposed deletion of Manu militari


The article Manu militari has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not really an encyclopedia article. Unsourced, and we don't need articles simply translating non-English phrases. Wiktionary already has an entry for 'manu militari'.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Michig (talk) 17:16, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Manu militari for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Manu militari is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Manu militari until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good 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 template from the top of the article. Michig (talk) 08:56, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Peru v Scotland (1978)


The article Peru v Scotland (1978) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This match is not particularly notable by itself, any more than any other match Peru or Scotland played at the 1978 World Cup.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 12:12, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello, just a note to say that I have moved this to an AfD discussion. As you can probably tell from my opening statement, I would be perfectly happy with the article to stand if it was expanded to include the other games in that group and moved to something like 1978 FIFA World Cup Group D. I just don't think the match merits a standalone article. Thanks, James. Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:19, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

War of the Pacific
Yes, I have just noticed it. However, it seems a lengthy discussion, it will take me a while to read it all and check some sources by myself before being able to say something. I'm from Argentina, and Argentina did not took part in the war, so most history books I have provide little or no information about it. It's not a topic I'm really familiar with, so I don't want to interrupt with things said from ignorance or naivety; I will join the discussion once I know what I'm talking about.

Which is the controversial point? Is it the date of the Bolivian declaration of war, or who did declare war first? The reasons why each side waged the war, are they disputed? Cambalachero (talk) 19:29, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Sweet Potato
Hm, you're right. But can you please change the wording on the sentence immediately following it? Integrate it. At the moment the two sentences are still slightly overlapping. While having originated from a place is not necessarily equivalent to being native there, one sentence claims it may have been domesticated in any of the two regions, while the other claims it was domesticated in only one region. Perhaps 'cultivated' would have been a better replacement for the second instance of 'domesticated'.--  Obsidi ♠ n   Soul   02:33, 12 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep. But articles on the most common food plants are often the most difficult ones to clean and update. :( Anyway, the wording looks better I, think. Thanks! -  Obsidi ♠ n   Soul   03:58, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Grau
Hey MarshalN20 I have seen that you insist in include a section on Grau being called Caballero in the WotP article. As you know I disagree with that specific point but are generally against many of Keysangers natiolistic-Chilean tiny but numerous "pushes". I think that wasting time on this point of little relevance is not fruitful and hampers the solving of the truly important issues of the article. I would sacrifice my position on this point (as I dont consider it realy importnat) if it would lead somewhere but if I do Keysanger will still be there and I think it would be easier of you realize that there more important issues at the stake. This minor issue can be take up again when the article is free of those ugly warning texts that it was in begining. Chiton magnificus (talk) 09:42, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ricardo Silva Elizondo


The article Ricardo Silva Elizondo has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. CharlieDelta (talk) 20:45, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

English and soybean
Hi. I answered you nice drink, which tasted nice, on my talk page. I see you are from Peru. I must say your English is SUPERB. I like plants and thought I'd start out there. I see the soybean article could use some work. I don't want to tackle writing yet, but noticed this article has some sort of notice tag about references and that you elaborate on that? Some of the references look really nice and use some sort of formatter with "cite" in them and some look really ugly. Can you tell me what to do there to get me started to make the references look better? Thank you. 512bits (talk) 23:50, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

War of the Pacific
An editor since 2008 (and a proffessional historian, as you claim) should understand how important is to mention all possible names, especially for less-than pop topics, i.e., other than pokemon and pornstars. This is vital in search for information, especially if one starts search from poorly translated or even foreign sources. Also, I am baffled with your understanding of the term "constructive".

March 2012
Your recent editing history at Talk:Falkland Islands shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Toddst1 (talk) 21:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

They also happen to hate my guts. Can't think why but they do, I guess the truth is what they're afraid of. They also happen to be banned from wikipedia. Probably more than I should have said but thats the wiki for you. Wee Curry Monster talk 23:18, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Caporales and User:LucMar
I have blocked LucMar 24 hours for edit warring and pointedly ignoring attempts to discuss his edits to Caporales. If he resumes reverting after his block, I'll escalate it, but hopefully it doesn't come to that. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 21:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 14
Hi. When you recently edited Pisco Sour, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Garnish (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:48, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

The Infamous Pisco Block
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for your disruption caused by edit warring and violation of the three-revert rule&#32;at Pisco Sour. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Chris (talk) 07:21, 17 March 2012 (UTC) Note: Plenty of time has passed (an absurd amount of time), so now I'm withdrawing my unblock request. I am 100% sure that I have not done anything wrong or deserving of even a 1 second block. Writing an appeal to the block holds a chance of success depending on the mood of the reviewing administrator. This block is neither teaching me anything or is it going to stop me from doing what I did in the Pisco Sour article (which was to follow the rules of Wikipedia). Not only did I actively promoted discussion of the topic on the article's talk page, but I provided plenty of warnings to the other user about his edits which constitute nothing more than vandalism. I am at peace with my actions and do not need an administrator to judge them. If Chris believes that what he did was right, then that is that. Regards.-- MarshalN20 | T al k 00:40, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * My unblock reason is inside the funny blue box. I am not sure why it is not showing up (my technical skills are a bit behind). If the reviewing administrator could please help me out by fixing this minor issue (show the text of my unblock request), then I would be mighty grateful. Also, I express my apologies for taking up their time, and my appreciation for you taking the time to review my block. Best of wishes.-- MarshalN20 | T al k 14:13, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * The reason the unblock request is having problems is your signature -- you've included the "pipe" character, " | ", which is OK outside of a template (which is why it usually doesn't cause problems for you.) You'll either need to pick a different character or surround the pipe with "nowiki", like I did in this comment. --jpgordon:==( o ) 14:31, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Hahaha. I see! Thank you very much Jpgordon. I have learned something today, and that makes it all worth it. Regards.-- MarshalN20 | T al k 14:37, 17 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Argh? Sorry to hear this. At least he blocked both of you and not just one side. Wish I could help, but I of course am not an admin. Good luck. 512bits (talk) 14:19, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you 512bits for your comment; it is much appreciated. Sometimes these things happen. It's part of the Wikipedia editing process. Some users get worked up about it, but I like to think of these temporary blocks as "breaks" from Wikipedia. The administrators are people too, and sometimes they make mistakes just as any other regular editor. My justification for the unblock request (which for some reason is not showing up), thoroughly explains why my block is unjustified. Regards.-- MarshalN20 | T al k 14:26, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd like to point out that this block was not made in error. You and the other editor both clearly violated 3RR.  Whether or not the other party is engaging your attempts at discussion, edit warring is not acceptable.  Please follow the dispute resolution process (which does not include reverting continuously).  --Chris (talk) 20:18, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I am not going to stand aloof while the other editor blatantly deletes sourced material. The last edit I made to the article was done in Good Faith as one hour had passed since the other editor had made his last edit (and since I had posted the 3RR report). I even notified the 3RR board that I had done this edit, which I assume is the edit which caused my 3RR breaking. I assumed that by explaining the edit to the 3RR board, it would be understood as a good faith attempt to help (not disrupt). As proven by the diffs, my attempts at discussion with the other editor were numerous (if not excessive), and so my good faith cannot be put in question. As Kuru wrote to me, you had the option to decide, and you took your choice. I do not condemn you for your decision (and neither am I angry with you), and Kuru also explained the logic of it. However, that does not mean I have to agree with it. Best of wishes.-- MarshalN20 | T al k 20:35, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Cut and paste move at Philip Ainsworth Means
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Philip Ainsworth Means a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Photos
Asking Nadiatalent and Anna Frodesiak to post here too. I see some photos' description page are here and some have a note that says they are on Wiki Commons. What is that place? If they are on Wiki Commons how do they show up here on English Wikipedia? I took some photos of fig and persimmon buds in my yard and want to photograph them through the year. Where should I put my photos and how do I do it? Got a good plant picture I can use as a guide? Still working on Botany article too.512bits (talk) 00:41, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
