What about the guidelines?
WP:NFC specifically prohibits fair-use images in galleries without a very good reason. How do you feel that these articles are exempt from those guidelines? I'd also say that the vast majority of those images fail WP:NFCC as they really aren't needed for the reader's understanding of the article; a fair number also have weak fair-use rationales. If you look at featured articles about book series, you won't find any which contain images of every book because they fail the criteria and guidelines. (I'm just posting this here so as to not need to past the same text over and over on the FFD page). –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 14:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject TRANSWIKI
You are invited to join WikiProject TRANSWIKI and join the sub language project of your choice. The aim is to draw up a full directory of missing articles from other wikipedias by language and build a team of translators to work at bridging the gaps in knowledge between other wikipedias.

Proposed deletion of Death knell‎


The article Death knell‎ has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.--Carabinieri (talk) 19:53, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

You might be interested in looking at Talk:Robert Holborne -- PBS (talk) 04:17, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Why would I be especially interested in that? Thue | talk 10:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Because I mention one of your edits from May 2004 to help explain why I came to the decision to blank the page and start again. It was just courtesy a heads up so that you are aware of it. -- PBS (talk) 10:44, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Ashwood University
Hi, I saw your editing comment while trying to sort out the article. I know nothing about Ashwood University and don't know which way the 'lies' run. Have you made your case on the talk page?

Best regards, --UnicornTapestry (talk) 13:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * See for example, where "not accredited" is changed to "accredited". There is no doubt that the university is not accredited, which is also backed up by reliable references in the article; changes like this is pure attempts at fraud. All the Wikipedia articles about degree mills are frequently attacked in this way, presumably by people who bought or sold the fraudulent diplomas. Though the number of attacks decreased once I semi-protected most of the articles about degree mills. Hence I believe that all the degree mill articles should require review. Thue | talk 21:00, 23 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Makes sense to me. Keeping in mind the adage of proving a negative, be sure to load up on citations. Good luck!

Cutting down Fallen Dragon
I was wondering if you would mind if I took a stab at some major edits in Fallen Dragon. It was one of your earlier efforts, so I suspect your writing style has changed since then anyway, but I always hate when someone deletes lots of material without at least a note on the talk page, so I figure I'll take that right to the source.

 * Perfectly all right. I am aware that it is dodgy. Thue | talk 14:37, 21 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Comments? Suggestions? Flaming arrows? Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:53, 24 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I made a few changes. The resulting article seems fine to me. Thue | talk 11:16, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:PPOT commando preview.ogg
 Thanks for uploading File:PPOT commando preview.ogg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 14:20, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:PPOT commando preview.ogg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PPOT commando preview.ogg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 22:28, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Comment at Press Play on Tape AFD
Hello. It's not a good idea to use being an administrator as a "they're notable, because I said so" kind of bargaining chip in AFD debates. In a deletion debate, it doesn't validate your opinion any more than a regular user's. Just a comment I felt it would be good to make. Regarding the band themselves, they seem vaguely notable, and I've voted as such. Esteffect (talk) 01:43, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not make the claim that they are notable because I said so. I said that he should accept my word that they are were a name at Main Event, because I said so. This is a concrete true/false claim, and not a subjective notability claim. Thue | talk 08:58, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

PPOT
A tag has been placed on PPOT, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
