Request for Assistance at the AMA
Good evening, my name is Wally and I'm from the Wikipedia Association of Members' Advocates. I'm writing at the moment to inform you of two happenings in which you are involved, and to which you should be informed: first, that an apparent dispute between yourself and User:Stirling Newberry on the gold standard and supply-side economics pages has been referred to mediation by said user. The second is that the user has requested representation from the AMA (a role I am not at this time fulfilling, only conducting preliminary inquiries). Said requests are here: Mediation Request and here: Representation Request.

This does not, by any measure, mean that you're in trouble with the community, that you are about to be punished for something, nor that the AMA is a team of bloodthirsty lawyers out to get you. What it simply means is that this user has found your dispute irreconcilible amongst yourselves and has requested assistance in doing so. You have the right to decline mediators' intervention, if you so choose, but if you do the dispute may be referred for arbitration, which is involuntary. You also have the right to accept or decline any proposed settlements or parts thereof proferred by a mediator, though it is in your interest to be as accomodating as possible and to provide explicit and defensible criteria should you decline such a settlement.

You additionally have the right to seek AMA representation of your own, and though it is not required many people feel it beneficial to do so, if only to have a cooler head on their side of the divide, especially should the dispute come to arbitration. Should you seek representation, you have the right to dismiss them at will, as they have the right to resign at will, though if an AMA member takes a case they will almost always see it to the end, and if they do not it is usually due to a matter uninvolved with the case (real world problems, etc.)  Your AMA adviser can function as just such, offering you guidance on your case and position, or can function as an representative and lawyer, presenting your case to the mediator and/or arbitration committee.

You will likely be contacted further before long, by the appropriate mediator, myself, or another AMA member. You can ask us any questions you would like answered regarding this process. Queries right now may be addressed to the AMA assistance request page - follow the requisite links on the AMA page offered above - or to my talk page, and I will be glad to answer. Further information on representation is available at the AMA link; further information on mediation at the link to Stirling Newberry's request; and further information on arbitration at Arbitration policy. It should be noted that arbitration is at the discretion of the committee itself, unlike mediation in which all cases are accepted, and may or may not be heard or judged, at their discretion.

Any further information needs, questions or requests, please do not hesitate to contact the AMA or myself. Wally 21:36, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Mediation request
Hello Terje. Stirling Newberry has requested mediation with you here.

Could you please respond, either on Requests for mediation or on my talk page, to say whether you are prepared to accept mediation. If you accept, could you please say whether you have any preference over who the mediator is. There is a list at Mediation Committee, although you may choose someone not on the committee if you prefer. Thanks, Bcorr, Co-chair of the Mediation Committee. 15:43, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Definition of money
Hi, I see you've changed my mods on the page Money. Particularly I've seen you moved the Bernard Lietaer definition of money to a new created chapter about quotes. I disagree with your decision. I think that Bernard Lietaer defines very good the idea of money (an agreement within a community to use something as a medium of exchange)and I think that definition is better than the actual one. It's' not a simple quote! :)

Mediation with User:Stirling Newberry is underway
Thank you for being willing to work with me to mediate your conflict with User:Stirling Newberry. I have created a topic (thread) on the mediation message board. You can set up an account on the message board here if you don't already have one.

The topic (thread) on the mediation bulletin board for this mediation is here.

The business and economics forum
Anouncing the introduction of The Business and Economics Forum. It is a "place" where those of us with an interest in the business and economics section of Wikipedia can "meet" and discuss issues. Please drop by: the more contributors, the greater its usefulness. If you know of other Wikipedians who might be interested, please send this to them.

Mediation will be considered over if neither of you responds
Two weeks ago I created a topic (thread) on the mediation message board to begin mediation between you and User:Stirling Newberry and neither of you has left a message there or responded in any other way. If there is no movement on this request within 72 hours of this time [19:07, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)] the Mediation Committee will consider the case officially closed.

If you are still interested, you can set up an account on the message board here if you don't already have one. The topic (thread) on the mediation bulletin board for this mediation is here.

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

PROD Warning
I've added the "prod" template to the article Concept of money, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also What Wikipedia is not and Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Concept of money. If you remove the dated prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image copyright problem with Image:Value of british pound in goldgrams 1900-1930.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Value of british pound in goldgrams 1900-1930.GIF. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you.

Since this is image is your work, tagging it with GFDL-self should do the trick.

Image:Robert_Mundell_Portrait.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Robert_Mundell_Portrait.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. MECU ≈ talk 17:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Nathan Lewis (economist
A tag has been placed on Nathan Lewis (economist 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies.

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. Alexius08 (talk) 12:11, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Category:Climate scientists
I notice that this category you created is unpopulated (empty). In other words, no Wikipedia pages belong to it. If it remains unpopulated for four days, it may be deleted, without discussion, in accordance with Criteria for speedy deletion. I'm notifying you in case you wish to (re-)populate it by adding to articles/subcategories that belong in it.

I blanked the category page. This will not, in itself, cause the category to be deleted. It serves to document (in the page history) that the category was empty at the time of blanking and also to alert other watchers that the category is in jeopardy. You are welcome to revert the blanking if you wish. However, doing so will not prevent deletion if the category remains empty.

If you created the category in error, or it is no longer needed, you can speed up the deletion process by tagging it with db-author.

I am a human being, not a bot, so you can contact me if you have questions about this. Best regards, --Stepheng3 (talk) 18:29, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Inter-agency CAD Electronic Messaging System


A tag has been placed on Inter-agency CAD Electronic Messaging System 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 http://melbourne.comms-connect.com.au/schedule/inter-agency-cad-electronic-messaging-system/. 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.

ThorCon moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, ThorCon, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Concern regarding Draft:ThorCon
Hello, Terjepetersen. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:ThorCon, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 13:05, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Liberal Democratic Party (Australia).png
Thanks for uploading File:Liberal Democratic Party (Australia).png. 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) 17:22, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
