Fair use rationale for File:Criollasdecaguas.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Criollasdecaguas.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 '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 media 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. &mdash; neuro  (talk)  01:46, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:LVSF.svg)
Thanks for uploading File:LVSF.svg. 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) 05:20, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Michael Bruning
A tag has been placed on Michael Bruning, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Could you please choose a country to contribute with? Please take a look on Yekaterina Gamova, Hélia Souza, Serena Ortolani and Kenia Carcaces for a model to follow.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 23:57, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Merengue music
Hi, Oscar!

Days ago I went to Google Books to find the link to the Austerlitz book, but I made no effort to verify anything, because I took it for granted that the IP was citing Austerlitz and the other sources correctly. But now I see that it's all a copyright violation, and that those 'other sources' are actually cited by Austerlitz.

I think that if the IP rewrites the content in his/her own words (removing the copyvio problem), it would be a good addition to the article, giving it some balance. What do you think? SamEV (talk) 01:15, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

 * When I say "around", I mean that I do "not" nor did I at the time keep a travel log on my travels. My eldest son was about ten when we visited the Dominican Republic which would have been "around" 1982.

Missing 's'
Hiya, Oscar.

It seems kind of minor, but I thought I'd remind you that there are four esses in "assess" and "assessment". I've just had a laugh over this. That extra "s" makes a difference! :)

It's nice to see you still around. SamEV (talk) 19:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

A sense of humor is a must in this place. Without, you'd burn out FAST.

Professional-level English?
Hi Oscar. I'm working on your request. But it will take time. On another issue, I just wanted to tell you that I don't think that a user who writes "I dont wanted" and "incorrects articles" should cite his level of English as professional.

 * Well, all articles to be nominated have to be GA. At the moment, the highest it can get before being nominated is a B-class. So here is what I am going to next: I have the article requested to be copy-editor by a professional editor and once that's done, I will have the article peer reviewed, address any problems and then submit to GAN. Repeat process for FAC. As for broad cover, JLG isn't a well-known artist compared to the others in English and the album is quite old, so information is scarce. But I will do can to help on the article. Erick (talk) 03:56, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

Yuderqui Contreras
Your expansion looks fantastic! Wow! Seriously impressed. :) With out looking through all your sources, the article looks really well sources, well organised, has a nice use of tables, and the info box looks rather complete.  I'd take the information in the lead that is cited, make sure those facts appear in the body and are cited.  I'd then nominate it for DYK and seriously consider nominating it to Good Article.  (Might want to have it go through a peer review first.)  But yeah, wow.  Awesome work. :) --LauraHale (talk) 23:29, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm smashed for time right now. :( Can't nominate anything as I'm busy trying to get my dissertation worked on and doing some Paralympic related work. :( --LauraHale (talk) 04:57, 31 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Had a look too and the expansion is great, easily enough for a DYK. For the hook, I'd suggest something army related rather than anything to do with the drug test controversy as although it's probably more hooky, it could be seen as a negative hook about a living person which DYK frowns upon. I'd also second the suggestion to go for a GA - it's all there. But the good thing about a GA is that you don't have to do it immediately upon creation, so you can nominate it at a time that suits you. Miyagawa   (talk)  12:09, 31 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I like the hook, but might I suggest a slight alteration:
 * ... that in the same year she became the Pan American Weightlifting Champion, Yuderqui Contreras's Dominican Army rank was lifted from Sergeant major to Second lieutenant? Miyagawa   (talk)  19:02, 31 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the lead is a bit short, is there any more information from the body of the article that can also be summarized in the article? I see a lot of work has been put in, it's nicely done. You can also get expert editor reviews here if you'd like to get it GA in the future. I think it has the potential. Cheers. Erick (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

I reverted the bot again, but I noticed you didn't specify the topic which was why the article wasn't listed on WP:PR. She falls under everyday life so I fixed the topic section. Erick (talk) 23:38, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Osplace, I'm beginning the copy-edit you requested at the GOCE request page for the above article. Please feel free to contact me, or to correct or revert my edits if I'm doing something I shouldn't. Cheers, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 01:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Jacinto de Jesus Ayala Benjamin
You changed Jacinto de Jesus Ayala Benjamin to a redirect and created a new page at the target Jacinto Ayala. If you intend to rename the page, please use wp:moving a page rather than a copy/paste move. This is to preserve the edit hitory. As mentioned on "moving a page", to request a move, put '  on the first line of the target page (Jacinto Ayala). If you need any help, please leave a note on my talk page.

Translation notification: Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012
Hello Osplace,

You are receiving this notification because you signed up as a translator to Spanish on Meta. The page m:Wikimedia Highlights, July 2012 is available for translation. You can translate it here:
 * translate to Spanish

The priority of this page is medium.

Note: This time, the "Wikimedia Foundation highlights" section does not include the usual coverage of the most notable work of Foundation staff during that month. Instead, it contains a list of talks given by Foundation staff at Wikimania, summarizing their most important work the year over. It looks like a lot of text, but only the talk titles will need to be translated. The intention is that these titles alone can already give readers a good overview of what the Foundation is working on in general.

Beach volleyball
As the coordinator of the Pan American Games project over at WP:MSE I feel as its necessary to coordinate with the Summer Olympics. For that event the beach volleyball events are not separate but apart of the volleyball articles. Please go revert your undoing of my edits.

Yuderqui Contreras
Without looking to closely at it, Yuderqui Contreras looks like a good GA candidate. It is fully supported by sources. It appears to comprehensively cover the topic. The infobox looks complete and like it matches the article. No pictures but probably understandable. No rename or merge proposals. Notability clearly there. I'd nominate. --LauraHale (talk) 02:34, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

Dominican Today
Hi there :) I caught your comment about Beyoncé at Talk:Dámaso Marté. You wouldn't be the first, and won't be the last, to note that this silly attitude to hispanic names isn't applied to North Americans with accents. Such nonsense is "Par for the course" unfortunately. Anyway, I thought I'd show you this Beyonce to perform in the Dominican Chavón arena which just goes to show that web "newspapers" are edited worse than print newspapers. There used to be a print newspaper, "The Santo Domingo News" - what happened to this? Did it close down? Did Dominican Today incorporate it? In ictu oculi (talk) 12:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, despite my above comment, the number of hispanic names mispelled on en.wp is infinitesimally small. Occasionally you come across some that are just poor editing: Víctor Marté, Santos Colon, Juan Jose Marti, but it is only tennis where there is an intractable issue Talk:Julio César Campozano, FYI. In ictu oculi (talk) 14:52, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * I really do not know how to handle this. I mean, this is not, and please correct me if I am wrong, USA Wikipedia! There are some common use US backed stand about how to handle marks on names, but most of them are wrong. I do not know what happened with Dominican Today, their english is really poor by the way! Any improve we can do the WP in any languange will be welcome, keep working. Osplace 01:21, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. What can I say, you see my view. Unfortunately WP:WORLDVIEW is only an essay not a guideline on en.wp, though I observe that the vast majority of editors follow it in spirit. The issue here is not American-British-Australianness, or even the green card issue, but simply failure of a very very small number of editors to grasp WP:IRS "sources reliable for the statement being made" - i.e. an html "source" like Dominican Today fails on Beyoncé and fails even on Dominicans, even ESPN is more reliable. As I said hispanic names are overwhelmingly spelled correctly 100,000s of them, exceptions like above are tiny, 4 out of 100,000. When I see them I usually put in a WP:RM. The only problem with Spanish is partly the lack of participation by competent Spanish speakers in en.wp. If someone inadvertently misspells a Polish or Czech name an editor from those WikiProjects will immediately contribute and improve WP:BLP accuracy, but WikiProject Spain/Mexico/etc are pretty well dead. I proposed a Spanish equivalent to WP:FRMOS some time back Manual of Style/Spain & Spanish-related articles, but there was no one interested enough to participate, it is a draft.

Please see a new suggestion in the move discussion
At Talk:Women's CEV Top Teams Cup. Also see User talk:Tiggerjay. Does Tiggerjay's idea take care of the original problem that caused you to propose the move? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 20:23, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi there Osplace, I am just following up to see if the move performed that EdJohnston mentioned above met your specific concerns for the article naming. Thanks Tiggerjay (talk) 15:42, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * In the actual way is still confusing. It target the righ article, but probably a name change would be a better solution. A casual reader may still get confused. Generally, I think that the change is ok. Osplace 18:16, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, okay would you think that CEV Cup should be the new name, instead of the redirect -- basically swapping the two? Tiggerjay (talk) 18:31, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Since the competition name is CEV Cup (Women's), the name should state that. Wikipedia policies prefers the current name, since the competition name changed this article should reflect that. Osplace 18:37, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Agreed, and commented as such on my talk page after a discussion with EdJohnston. I have requested he make the specific move since it requires an administrator to do so in this case. Tiggerjay (talk) 19:56, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
