Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of [unassessed articles] tagged with. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 21:51, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

ghits
Looking at some of your proposed deletions, it might possibly not be a good idea to decide if people with careers prior to 1998 are notable solely on the basis of ghits. If you've checked more than that, please don't give just ghits as the reason--makes it harder for us overworked admins to check prior to deleting the articles. DGG 22:52, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Give me a hint
You tagged Bernard Farrell as a copyright violation, but you didn't link to the source of the material, and I didn't find it by googling. What is this material copied from? -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:24, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind; I found it. Showed up in the edit history but not, oddly, in the actual box on the article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 18:25, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi RedRollerskate,

A couple of years ago I beat back an attempt for the article to be deleted. Their logic was that it was family vanity not worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. I believe what won the day was my argument that just because I wrote the article did not automatically mean the subject of it, being my father, was not of sufficient notability. I have been annoyed for several years at the lack of information about the Caribbean region available on the internet, and particularly with Wikipedia where participation is required, the general laziness of most Caribbean citizens and population numbers per country compared to larger nations means not much information is available. Where better to start than with my own dad, about whom I could write an article without needing sources, which are hard to come by in the Caribbean. My article on him had a chain reaction and now most of our politicians at least have a stub.

Anyway, without sophisticated news organisations that chronicle every last thing that happens such as what you have in the US or in Canada, it is hard for me to "wikify" the article further. I point out that the article you see before you was much altered by people on my side of the Vfd debate. And that is the problem I am having. In trying to make the article resemble articles about similar people in other countries, I have to draw on information I (often) cannot prove with a simple link. For example, with the Quincenntennial Lifetime Achievement Award for Law, the only way I can prove that is to scan the award, which is of course framed in my dad's office, as the newspapers did not have a list of recepients on the day. Surely it would not be appropriate for my source to be a digital image of the actual award ! The OBE I can of course prove through the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website or the British media and the JP designation through the CI government website. Surely one of the many articles our local paper has done on him will contain the vast majority of the family/education/etc material in the article. But I can't prove all of it and I hope you understand that.

If you're willing to help me, please let me know how to proceed in light of these limitations. Travisritch 22:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Alana Davis Fortune Cookies.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Alana Davis Fortune Cookies.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:

Fair use rationale for Image:Alana_Davis_Fortune_Cookies.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Alana_Davis_Fortune_Cookies.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 20:55, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Alana_Davis_Surrender_Dorothy.jpg
I have tagged Image:Alana_Davis_Surrender_Dorothy.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Speedy deletion of Teens Belize
A tag has been placed on Teens Belize requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Stan Nicholls
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stan Nicholls, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * There are almost no sources, and it has not been edited in almost half a year. If nobody wants to improve it, it needs to go.

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.

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello RedRollerskate! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Speedy deletion nomination of DJ Deep (French producer)


A tag has been placed on DJ Deep (French producer) 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 band or musician, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Epeefleche (talk) 21:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
