 * 1) Please don't up-load and use copyrighted images.
 * 2) If there is any genuine (encyclop&aelig;dic) information on this woman, please add it; some reputable source for the description "supermodel" would also be welcome. At the moment, there is nothing in the article to indicate her significance, and it could therefore be deleted without warning.  I'm holding off for the moment, but if something that she's done or been isn't added soon, the article will probably go. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

"Fair use" is fairly narrowly defined; the image that you up-loaded seemed to have been copyrighted, and didn't meet normal fair-use criteria (and you didn't gve an explanation of its fair-use status).

The problem with the article is that just being a model isn't usually enough to warrant an article in an encyclop&aelig;dia (there are hundreds of thousands of models). Calling her a supermodel wouldn't be enough either, but there's in fact no evidence that she is one; the links were to two pages of photographs of her, and didn't establish anything. Is there anything that she's achieved – prizes or awards, etc. – that could justify the article? --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 23:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on C,mm,n, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because C,mm,n 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Hares.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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.

If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Acaso foi você quem apagou meu comentário sobre o Tarso Genro na página de discussão ? Apagar comentário na discussão, e o meu foi bastante educado, é no mínimo censura.

Speedy deletion of Opportunity Asset Management
A tag has been placed on Opportunity Asset Management 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 company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Non-dropframe (talk) 03:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 0 A.D. (video game) to Pyrogenesis (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:03, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Medals etc. of Brazil
Hey Strum, I noticed that you moved Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Brazil and got rid of the Oxford comma. I was just curious if you were doing that of your own volition or if there was a consensus to it (I know how contentious the Oxford comma can be), and if you were planning on moving all the other medals categories to match. Thanks! spiderjerky (talk) 22:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry, my mistake. Didn't know about "serial comma" in English... But I am unable to undo that. Can you help me? Sturm (talk) 22:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries. I'll see what I can do. spiderjerky  (talk) 22:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * { I'm having some software difficulties with the move as well, in addition to moving the page to a third page with a comma after "and" because I've been editing for like five hours straight and my brain is fried. I think this is the job for an administrator. spiderjerky  (talk) 22:16, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

Francisco Lopes
You should not have moved the page Francisco Lopes to another title, since there was no other exact match in English-language Wikipedia. --B.Lameira (talk) 18:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sweet Home 3D


A tag has been placed on Sweet Home 3D requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://itunes.apple.com/il/app/sweet-home-3d/id669289700?mt=12. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Hello. I have noticed that you edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 01:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, Sturm,
 * You do a lot of page moves but you don't provide any explanation on why you are moving a page or article to a different title. Moves like this are more likely to be reverted because you have left no explanation on why your page move is an improvement. There are preselected edit summaries you can use that cover a lot of situations or write in your own, specific rationale. Please do so in the future. Thank you. Liz Read!
