Template
If I go to the bother of creating something and specifically state that I intend to use it on an article elswehere, I'd appreciate it if you would do me the courtesy of not changing the template to the extent that its intended use becomes impossible; without going to the bother of undoing all your edits. You seem quite capable of playing in the sandbox to create designs of your own to discuss elsewhere, therefore please refrain from altering, (and then saving without changing the name), other people's creations intended for use elsewhere merely to offer them up as one of a number of choices of design on a discussion page.Endrick Shellycoat  16:06, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry I thought that you changed an official one, I didnt realize that that you created that page yourself. It is not a usual custom to create a full template to demonstrate a point in a talk page. I don't know if you noticed but I created 4 subpages of the official template to demonstrate suggestions. Maybe this would be a better idea? Hope I didnt upset you too much. -- Phoenix (talk) 21:26, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, you didn't upset me more than anyone else does on these pages. You obviously didn't note the sentence preceding the insertion of the template: "Having concluded that the way to proceed here is to create an article specific to the Scottish variant, I shall place the following there, which I trust most will not find in any way confusing". "There" being the article which I intend to create once I've received the Flag Research Center Bulletin #188 which discusses the Scottish Union Flag. The template was not created in order to "demonstrate a point in a talk page" as you put it, therefore there was no need to create a subpage.Endrick Shellycoat  22:52, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Interesting response. Sorry that you have found people upsetting. While we may disagree I assure you that is it not my intention to get you upset and I hope that we can work together to make this a better encyclopaedia :-) -- Phoenix (talk) 05:05, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Great Power
The EU has recently been confirmed as a great power here: http://www.delaus.ec.europa.eu/News&events/speeches/2010/JR_DefenceAcademy19042010.pdf It's as academic as you can get. I have added it to the article, however the world map showing current governments regarded as Great Powers, and the list of Great Powers by date need updating to include the EU. Recon.Army (talk) 20:45, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I dont believe that the conclusion is a clear cut as you thought
 * "So, can we reach any judgements about whether the EU qualifies as a 'great power'? I think we can, but in a nuanced way. As we have seen from the above, the EU comes out rather well even using the conventional comparators... Overall in today's world we should perhaps regard the EU as a ‘modern’ power, but one that gets results. And the question whether the European Union is a ‘great power’ is one I feel I can safely leave in the hands of the audience."
 * The author backtracks in the end and says that it is almost a great power. Not only that I dont believe that a politicians speech is considered academic, even if it was at a school ;-) -- Phoenix (talk) 21:10, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Template:Paralympic Games
Hi, I have a comment to the Template:Paralympic Games. The reason I had for adding the 2018 and 2022 Winter Games years, and the 2020, 2024 and 2028 SG years to the template, was that they have been added to the Template:Olympic Games. If it is the standard for the Olympic Games template, could it be the standard for the Paralympic Games template too? Maybe create redirects to the Olympic articles, since the text in those articles is mostly about the bidding, which includes the Paralympic Games, or create stubs. And then about the color of the wikilinks, I changed the color to the same old blue, because of reading this WikiProject Usability/Color. The red link can look like it has no article, and the black link can look like it is text, not a link. B i b (talk) 23:44, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

Request
Hey Pheonix! I would like to request your assistance in a newly created article recently linked to the Potential superpowers-page - India as a rising superpower. In my opinion, the article should be deleted on the grounds that we already have an article on India's superpower-status and that the article, India as a rising superpower, is full of SYN and OR, but all I ask is that you take a look and give your two cents about it. Also check the discussion page for more.Swedish pirate (talk) 17:26, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Your invitation to participate in a Wikimedia-approved survey in online behavior.
Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis, currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.

I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.

'''Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone!''' :-)

To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=91727563 (HTTPS).

Best Regards, Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 09:15, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.

UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 08:22, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Waste of time

Actually it is not respectful to waste people's time, as you do, persistently. Greglocock (talk) 00:21, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

Great power article needs protecting
I'm afraid the Great power article is once again open to attack and lo and behold it is, this time by an annon IP editor (or two). It's the same edits as were made before the page was protected a while ago. The article needs protecting once again I'm afraid. David (talk) 14:01, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


 * attack from what ? your original synth or what, Dpaajones is not civil please see the great power talkpage and his other edits 95.199.138.200 (talk) 14:38, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, please do see my other (7/8 years' worth of) edits. You're not fooling anyone. We know who you are. David (talk) 16:13, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

dirty games, very dissapointing
Congratulations finding a loophole to get a user with a differing opinion to yours (ndazza) silenced (sarcasm). It is incorrect that it is a sock of mine, so your actions have caused a legitimate user to be indefinitely banned. 1292simon (talk) 01:20, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Ghost Goal World Cup 2010.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Ghost Goal World Cup 2010.jpg. 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. 24.130.189.187 (talk) 07:59, 16 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Phoenix79/Bose product sightings


A tag has been placed on User:Phoenix79/Bose product sightings, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Image source problem with File:Daniel Shays.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Daniel Shays.gif.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the 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 19:51, 29 July 2023 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mattbr 19:51, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
