User talk:SWwhite

Welcome
Hello, SWwhite, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

There is a page about the verifiability policy that explains the policy in greater detail, and another that offers tips on the proper ways of citing sources. If you are stuck and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Cerejota (talk) 02:35, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Mexican Dream
A tag has been placed on The Mexican Dream 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. 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 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Gustavo Hernandez Perez has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bexample\.com (links: http://www.example.com ).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Re: Problems uploading article
Hi. The article appears to be almost a word-for-word copy of the IMDb entry for that director. Wikipedia is generally unable, for legal reasons, to accept information which is copied from elsewhere - please see this link regarding this. Your use of the word "upload" seems to confirm that you are copying the article rather than creating it (though there are of course no limitations on creating an article with your favourite editor on your own computer then copying it onto Wikipedia,) What I'll do is to "userfy" the page as it stands, that is, I'll place it as a subpage in your user area. Copyright restrictions still apply to user pages, but this will allow you to re-work the article to remove any possibility of its being seen as a "copyvio" (a copyright violation). When that's done you, or someone else, can move it into "mainspace", where articles live. To do this either use the "move" tab at the top of the page, give me a shout on my talkpage or place on your talkpage and someone will be along to help. If you have any questions, plese give me a shout! Regards, Tonywalton Talk 09:44, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. The page is now here. Regards, Tonywalton Talk 09:48, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Ummm. Now I'm confused. Which version would you like to keep, which to delete, and which version should go where? I've tagged the version in your userspace as, mainly so we can tell them apart more easily! Tonywalton Talk 16:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, to be 100% clear, then, I need to
 * Delete the current Gustavo Hernández Pérez
 * Move the version at User:SWwhite/Gustavo Hernández Pérez into mainspace
 * That right? Tonywalton Talk 16:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. A couple of comments; The article might benefit from an infobox (probably ). Take a look at (say) Anthony Minghella or Juzo_Itami for what one looks like and how to apply it. You could also edit the current Gustavo Hernández Pérez a bit to conform more to the "standard" style; again see some other directors' articles for what they tend to look like. I'll tinker a bit as well! Oh, by the way, could you please "sign" your posts on talkpages (though not in articles themselves) by adding ~ at the end? This adds your usernaname and the date/time when you posted, and makes life easier. Cheers, Tonywalton Talk 16:36, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 16:01, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirects
Hi again. I see you moved Gustavo Hernández Pérez to Gustavo Hernandez Perez just to create a "redirect". Fair enough, but that's not the best way to do it - you're actually just using a side-effect of moving a page to create a redirect there. The easy way to create a redirect (or many redirects) is to simply create a page containing the word "#REDIRECT " (I think it's case-insensitive) followed by the target page. So if you wanted to create a page called "Gustavo Perez" to redirect to Gustavo Hernandez Perez just create a page called Gustavo Perez, containing


 * 1) Redirect Gustavo Hernandez Perez

Don't go mad on redirects - there is (of course!) a set of guidelines on redirects which would discourage you from creating Gustavo, Gustavo HP, G Hernández P and so on, but that's how you create them. Tonywalton Talk 22:29, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

OK, before I start answering your question, a couple of things:


 * 1) When you're putting a new message on a talkpage could you please either use the "+" tab, use the "click here to start a new topic" thing in the header or start what you're saying with == the subject ==, which will create a new section on the page.
 * 2) Please "sign" what you say with ~ at the end, which creates a "signature"

Regarding your question, what needs to be done is the redirect at Gustavo Hernández... (with the accents) to be deleted, the article itself to be moved there, then a redirect (without the accents) to be created. You can't do this, as it needs an administrator (aka sysop) to delete pages. Luckily I'm an admin. So I'll (basically) swap the pages over now. Just sit tight... Tonywalton Talk 22:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Done. Gustavo Hernandez Perez (without accents) is now a redirect to Gustavo Hernández Pérez (with accents), which I hope is what you wanted. Tonywalton Talk 22:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Couple of things
First, please sign your posts on talkpages by putting ~ at the end

Second, you might be interested in the Films Wikiproject

Third, please sign your posts on talkpages by putting ~ at the end

"Language alternative section"
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by a "language alternative section". If you're talking about the "in other languages" box on the left hand side these are links to other languages' Wikipedias, for instance the wasser at the end of the article on Water adds a link pointing to the entry to the article entitled "Wasser" on the German Wikipedia at http://de.wikipedia.org    The article has to exist on the other wikipedia, though - translation isn't automatic. If that's not what you meant, sorry! Tonywalton Talk 00:03, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No,  foo  points to the entry for foo on the German-language Wikipedia. ("de" is "Deutsch"). I just used "de" as an example.
 * In your case (Spanish) you would need to create the article on the Spanish-language Wikpedia at http://es.wikipedia.org ("es" being "español"). The interwiki link on the article here, the en (English-language) Wikipedia, would be Gustavo Hernández Pérez, assuming the article was called "Gustavo Hernández Pérez" on Wikipedia española. The interwiki link to this, the en (English-language) version, from the es version would be Gustavo Hernández Pérez


 * This is a complete list of all Wikipedias.


 * You'd need an account on the es Wikipedia to create an article - either register there like you did here or (preferably) set up a "global account". To do that, go to the "my preferences" link at the top of this page, then under "User profile" you should see "Global account: (manage your global account)". Click on the "manage..." link, do what it says next and bingo, you have a single account on all Wikipedias, plus some other Wikipedia projects.


 * Different Wikipedias have different rules - they all comply with WP:5P but the details, and the way things are managed, do differ, so you're a bit on your own on the es Wikipedia. Apart from anything else, my Spanish is limited to about three useful phrases: ¡Leche! (and yes, I know what the full version says about mothers), ¿dónde están los retretes? and "Dos cervezas por favor, y mi amigo pagará"! Hope that lot helps. Tonywalton Talk 22:32, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Edits to "The Mexican Dream"
You say someone has been making edits "without your permission". They don't need your permission - it is not "your" page. Under the edit box it clearly states that "all contributions to Wikipedia are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License (see Copyrights for details). If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here." If the edits are within Wikipedia policy then they are fine. Policy in this case means "are they verifiable as documented in reliable sources". If the information is not reliable, then you're probably best to ask the user who made the edit what their source is for the information, on their talkpage. See how that goes. Regards, Tonywalton Talk 22:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Can you assist?
I wonder if this thread is of any interest. They're asking about differences between European and Mexican Spanish, and I immediately thought of you as a S American Spanish expert. If you've no interest in commenting on the thread, no problem at all! Regards, Tonywalton Talk 22:46, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Themexicandream.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Themexicandream.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:10, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
