User talk:OlliffeObscurity

Olliffe Φ Obscurity  Welcome, Jordan5001 ! I'm Riana, and I noticed that you're new, so I thought I'd drop you a note. We do have a lot of users, and are currently working on articles, so things can be a little intimidating... but don't worry! We love to help out, and we'll try our best to make your stay here as comfortable as possible. Here are a few links I found useful when I first arrived here:-


 * Be Bold!
 * Don't let grumpy users scare you off
 * Meet other new users
 * Policies, guidelines, and rules
 * How to create a page, edit a page and write a great article
 * A handy tutorial, and a picture tutorial


 * Writing well

You should sign your name on talk pages, discussions and votes by typing ; our software automatically converts it to your username and the date. Also, if you don't want to jump right into editing articles right now, why not check out the sandbox? Feel free to make test edits there.

I know it's a lot of information, but there are two more things I recommend you take note of while editing Wikipedia - cite references wherever possible, and avoid allowing personal biases interfere with your editing.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian - I definitely do. Although we all make mistakes, please keep in mind what Wikipedia is not. If you have any questions or problems, leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll try my best to help.

License tagging for Image:Copy of ebaycarseat 020.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Copy of ebaycarseat 020.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. 18:05, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I am trying to upload pictures to my user page but a frequent problem keeps occuring- what do you do if my pictures are too big and they upload to my user page much bigger than I want them to be? Is there a way of shrinking them?

Regards, User:Jordan5001

Yes, there is a way. Instead of typing name of the picture you type 100px. The number, you use determines the broadness of the image. The heigth will be changed in relation to the broadness. Naturally, you can use any other number. Please look at Picture tutorial.--Thw1309 20:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, does anyone know if there is a way to block people from editing my own userpage apart from myself as I've noticed that some articles are locked from editing.

Fair use image use
Earlier today, I removed a number of copyrighted, fair use images from your userpage in the "gallery" section. This was done in accordance with our policy on the use of such images found at WP:NFCC item #9. Such images may not be displayed on any pages outside of actual encyclopedia articles. Thus, their display on userpages is not permitted. Subsequent to this, you restored the images. I have removed the images again. Please do not re-add them, as this is a direct violation of our policies. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 15:56, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Notability issues
I noticed that you recently created two Doctor Who-related articles, Zachary Cross Flane and Scooti Manista, and would like to talk with you about them for a bit. The issue here is one of notability. Wikipedia isn't intended to be a source of absolutely all knowledge we can possibly fit in (See WP:NOT). In order to determine what is deserving of an article, we generally use two standards: Verifiability and Notability.

While the articles you've written easily pass the verifiability standard (for fictional characters, primary sources are sufficient), they don't, however, pass the standard of notability. The reason for this is simply that these characters only appear in a single (two-part) episode of a very long-running series. If the episode's article is written well enough, it should already contain all the information we need on these characters. If you feel that it isn't, feel free to add in that info yourself.

However, in the end, we really don't need these articles to exist. We do appreciate your enthusiasm and the work you've done in creating them, however, and hope you won't be discouraged. If you want to preserve the content of the articles before they get deleted, I recommend copying them to your userspace for your reference (for instance, at User:Jordan5001/Sandbox). I'm going to put up a proposed deletion template on the pages, so you'll have a week or so to do this (also, it allows you to oppose the deletion if you feel strongly enough about it).

Finally, if you're ever looking for other things you can do to help out, there's a To-do list at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Doctor Who with some suggestions. Good luck and good editing! --Infophile (Talk) (Contribs) 13:22, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Little context in Mr Jefferson (Doctor Who)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mr Jefferson (Doctor Who), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mr Jefferson (Doctor Who) is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mr Jefferson (Doctor Who), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:54, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Harry Potter roll-call
Hi there. Your username is listed on the WikiProject Harry Potter participants list, but we are unsure as to which editors are still active on the project. Your name has therefore been moved to a "potentially inactive" list. If you still consider yourself an active WikiProject Harry Potter editor, please move your name from the Potentially inactive list to the Active Contributors list. You may also wish to add  to your userpage, if you haven't done so already. Conversely, if you do not wish to be considered a member of the WikiProject, leave your name where it is and it will be moved to the Inactive Contributors section. If you wish to make a clean break with the Project you may move your name to the Known to have left section. Many thanks.

Hi, does anyone know how I can rewrite a page in a different language, ie. my userpage in French. Jordan5001 16:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * For a rough translation, you can type the text of the page into the form here. –Animum  16:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC) 

Yes, hello again. That explained how to translate the original english version into a different language but does Animum or anyone else know how to actually get the translated version of the page onto Wikipedia itself so it appears in the left-hand column toolbar in the "in other languages" section? Thanks again!! Jordan5001 14:17, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

To show a french version of an aticle in the "other laguages" section, there has to be an article with the same subject in the french wikimedia. By adding name of the article, this article is shown in the toolbar and there is the possibility to gain direct access to this article. It´s the same with all the other languages. If the article does not exist, you first have to open an account on French Wikipedia and write the article. --Thw1309 14:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

 * If there isn't an article at Albert Valentine already, you can just move the disambiguation page there. (There should be something at the page name corresponding to a disambiguation page, either the disambiguation page itself or one of the things it disambiguates, to avoid this sort of problem.) Hope that helps! --ais523 17:10, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Damian Samuels
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Damian Samuels, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Damian Samuels. h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 09:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi everyone,

1. Two quick questions; can users create their own sandbox as a page on Wikipedia for people to make edits to? Example: User:Racoonieboy:/Sandbox. 2. Also, I'm not sure if it's just admins who can do this - if I can, how do create a new page linking to my account? For example, how would I create a new page just to show the articles that I have created, (User:Jordan5001/Articles)? Would I have to create like I would any article on Wikipedia?


 * Hi Jordan5001,


 * To answer your first question, yes, Users can, I have my own Sandbox at User:Thehelpfulone/Sandbox. To answer your second question, I can't be sure, but you could try creating the page and then redirecting it to your contributions. You could try linking something to this log or something like that, though I couldn't be sure. You may have to manually create the page in your userspace and then add the articles that you created on there. I hope this helps!

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Natalie Jones, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Natalie Jones seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Natalie Jones, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Personal knowledge doesn't cut it because there is no way to verify if what you are saying is true or not, that is why you need a reference.

Actors
Hi, I'm just wondering about something concerning actor pages and similar bio articles. The tables used for their filmography. The tables look very well-presented and are easy to coordinate around, etc - but only on the well-known actors. For the tables I'm talking about, see Eddie Murphy, the filmography section. Should all actor pages have tables like this?

Personal Information on your Userpage
Hi. I don't intend to scare you away or attempt to intimidate you, but I thought you might want to reconsider some of the items on your userpage. You may have not realised that the items on your userpage release personal information about yourself (real name or age etc), which could be used against you in the future. While 99% of all the editors on Wikipedia are friendly, welcoming and harmless, there is a chance your personal information could be misused by editors not so 'high-minded'. A handful of editors have even felt real-world implications due to their Wikipedia edits and release of personal information.

I have deleted some revisions of your userpage in respect to your privacy for the time being, just in case you wish to reverse on your decision to have such content on public display. As a result, the information is only available to administrators. You are, of course, welcome to ask myself or another administrator to restore them, but I just wanted to make you aware of the risks involved with releasing personal information on such a public forum. If you wish to to have the personal information removed so that even administrators cannot view it, I can request oversight on your behalf. You are also welcome to discuss this with me on my talk page, or privately via e-mail if you have any concerns. Hope to hear from you. \ Backslash Forwardslash / {talk} 22:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

 * It's probably a bad idea, for a couple of reasons.


 * Firstly, you'd have a conflict of interest, and we strongly recommend that you don't write articles about things that you are closely involved with - simply because it is extremely difficult to maintain a neutral point-of-view. For more on this topic, see WP:BFAQ.


 * Secondly, from your description, I doubt that it would meet our general notability guideline, because it wouldn't have "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" - such as, for example, independent newspaper articles about the business (not adverts).


 * I'm sorry that I cannot write in a more positive way, but I hope that this at least clarifies; I think that you will have a much happier time on Wikipedia if you help us to develop other articles. For more help, you can either;

Orphaned non-free image File:Xxtra Cutz.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:Xxtra Cutz.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude2 (talk) 05:49, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Careful with that copy/paste
Could I persuade you to revisit your recent modifications to articles on Danish royalty? In your modifications to the "Ahnentafels", you seem to have been copy/pasting with the result that e.g. George I of Greece appears at the top of the tree as Alexandra of Denmark.

Hello, I'm Mutt Lunker. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the page Wild Rover, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Opinion needed !!
Hello !! OlliffeObscurity !!, I am writing to you as I found your name on WikiProject Genealogy and I need someone else's opinion on Genealogy template.

The template is Template:Tagore family. Now as per my opinion the spouses of family descendents should not be part of template, as they are not direct genealogical descendants. Please go thru history to get aware of dispute. The creator of template User:AkhilKumarPal is not ready to accept this argument and claims ownership and has reverted me twice.

I do not want to revert him again and as per 3RR rule and I need to be sure what I am doing is right or wrong. Please let me know, if spouses can be included in template or not, as per your opinion?

Cheers !! Jethwarp (talk) 12:57, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Albert Valentine (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Albert Valentine (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
 * disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
 * disambiguates zero extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

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 deleted 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.
