Speedy deletion of SKYbrary
A tag has been placed on SKYbrary, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

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. --Aktsu (t / c) 07:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of SKYbrary
A tag has been placed on SKYbrary, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

Speedy deletion of Loss of Separation
A tag has been placed on Loss of Separation 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.

AfD nomination of SKYbrary
I have nominated SKYbrary, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/SKYbrary&. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. -- JediLofty Talk to meFollow me 12:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Skybrary links
Timo, Please be aware that what you are doing, while I'm sure it is well intentioned, seems very much like WP:LINKSPAM or at least WP:ADVERT. I'd suggest that before proceeding with any more of these links, you discuss their introduction at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aviation and gain consensus there for their use.

Your recent edits
Hello. 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. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. --SineBot (talk) 15:35, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Level bust
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Level bust, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Category:Level_Bust. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:14, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Scale problem jan 2010.gif
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Scale problem jan 2010.gif. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.38.50 (talk) 05:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

You've listed this file as for non-commercial use only. Wikipedia does not use files under any non-commercial use licenses. You either need to clarify the licensing of the file or it will be deleted.--v/r - TP 16:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Decwmber 2011
Hello Timo Kouwenhoven. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:05, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Inappropriate external links
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Global Positioning System do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - DVdm (talk) 11:48, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Note_1 - I have removed 11 other instances of this link which you added today. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 11:53, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Note_2 - Please have a look at the policy at wp:ELNO Item 12: "Links to open wikis, except those with a substantial history of stability and a substantial number of editors." I think this Wiki satifies this condition. - DVdm (talk) 12:26, 22 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Navipedia is not an open wiki. Content is written by selected GNSS experts from ESA and several Universities. Only talkpages are open. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timo Kouwenhoven (talk • contribs)


 * Please sign your talk page messages with four tildes ( ~ ). Thanks.
 * In that case it might be a much better idea to put some of the content into the article and use the link as a web source through the template — provided of course that the source is indeed really reliable as in wp:RS. - DVdm (talk) 13:02, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Semantic technology


The article Semantic technology has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * Ill-referenced unencyclopedic essay

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. David Gerard (talk) 13:08, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Semantic technology for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Semantic technology is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Semantic technology until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. David Gerard (talk) 07:37, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
