Native American studies
I'd like to add the very good European Journal of Native American Studies (Christian Feest editor) to the article-list, but perhaps only if it is known and available in Northamerica.--Radh (talk) 06:48, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:18, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Mark Harrison
Hello,

I am letting you know that an article you have been involved in editing, Mark Harrison (comic artist), has been nominated for deletion as part of a series of AFDs based on the deletion nomination of List of Magic: The Gathering artists. If there is anything you can do to improve the article further, your efforts would be appreciated. 204.153.84.10 (talk) 22:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Tiffany Midge
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Tiffany Midge, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.hanksville.org/storytellers/midge.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tiffany Midge


A tag has been placed on Tiffany Midge 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 clear 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 18:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I've copied my reply that I wrote on the talk page of the article below in case it gets deleted before you see it.
 * ":I'm afraid that this does appear to be a copyright violation and so will need to be deleted. The source given is the tagging is  and this would appear to be much older than the wiki (as it shows a copyright of 1997) and in the absence of any information to the contrary I'd have to assume the above wiki is a copyright violation of that page.  However even if the article has been released under the "GNU Free Documentation License 1.2" as the wiki page states we still could no accept it as that is no longer a compatible licence for wikipedia - see WP:CFAQ.  Also you should note that it is against policy for a page creator to remove a speedy tag - they should add a hangon tag instead."

Dpmuk (talk) 18:39, 15 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I am afraid I agree with Dpmuk, but it looks like there is a good chance we should have an article. The basic list part should be too simple to be copyrighted, and I would be happy to restore that to your userspace for you to work on, if you would like. Good luck, - 2/0 (cont.) 19:08, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tiffany Midge


The article Tiffany Midge has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article. &#32; The nominator also raised the following concern:
 * This article about a living person contains no sources not affiliated with the subject, a requirement for notability. To avert deletion and remove this tag, at least one such source must be provided.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Sebwite (talk) 15:51, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Tiffany Midge (copy)
Hi -

I included reference to Norma Wilson's discussion of Midge in her book. This is an independent source. I have now included reference from the Cambridge Companion to Native American Literature. Please let me know if this does not meet the criteria. Vizjim (talk) 06:02, 18 November 2010 (UTC)


 * For now, I think it is good enough to be de-prodded. But it still needs some improvement. The more sources, the better. I found that there are 247 items listed when entering her name into Google Books. I would recommend doing your own work do place as many relevant sources there as possible to prevent the article from being challenged. I also recommend adding the article to one or more categories where it may belong.


 * I am not a deletionist, and I do not plan to propose it for deletion. I only came across this article when doing New Page Patrol, which I do occasionally. Being the creator, I recommend you try to improve the article as best as you can. Sebwite (talk) 22:00, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

New wikiproject?
Hi, I'm researching the possibilities of creating a new WikiProject:Indigenous peoples of the Americas because articles about indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, Central, and South America, especially contemporary peoples, are woefully neglected and cross-regional exchanges tend to be ignored.

Speedy deletion nomination of Juulchin Tourism Corporation of Mongolia


A tag has been placed on Juulchin Tourism Corporation of Mongolia, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 03:02, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

William S. Yellow Robe: Thank you!!
Dear Vizjim, I really really really appreciate the push to create the Bill Yellow Robe page. I *think* I have done it now, and will be thrilled to have you do any editing you see fit. I'll also surely try to work on the other articles you recommended. In fact, I have my class this spring (mostly college seniors/juniors) working on Wikipedia articles about Native American authors, though our focus is specifically New England writers. So I'm very gratified to find other Wikipedians looking out for us new contributors, and for this topic!Ssenier (talk) 19:27, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Vizjim, I am one of Ssenier's students working on the Native American authors articles. My page has been awaiting review for about 2 weeks, and I was notified this morning that my page was denied. I investigated the situation, only to find that the editor who denied it appears to be a new Wikipedia user without any edit history. While the lack of many sources for my article is an issue I recognize, I'm wondering what I can do about this denial, and/or about this editor who seems to lack the credentials to deny my article. Thank you. Ame283 (talk) 15:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Good afternoon Ame, I hope you do not mind me following you here. My credentials arise mainly from my career as a military leader in the 19th century, but in these difficult modern times I specialise in retail therapy.

File permission problem with File:Artiste small.jpeg
Thanks for uploading File:Artiste small.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 07:44, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:54, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Roger Russell


A tag has been placed on Roger Russell requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of Andreas G Orphanides


A tag has been placed on Andreas G Orphanides 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://euc.academia.edu/AndreasGOrphanides/CurriculumVitae. 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".

 * Free advice, for whatever it's worth and at the risk of telling you stuff you already know, the best way to respond to the deletion nominaiton of an article on a notable subject is to improve and source the page. It's more effective than arguing.  When a page has been substantively improved during discussion, you can add comment pointing out that WP:HEYMANN improvements have been made.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:15, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Inspector Shimura


The article Inspector Shimura has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Fictional character. No evidence of stand-alone notability. Not a shred of analysis. Pure WP:PLOT and list of appearances in media. Fails GNG/NFICTION."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.

Winter
I have decided to start my Winter break a little earlier this year because I have so much to focus on outside Wikipedia. Thank you for bringing attention to the "Braves" article and if you plan to merge and need some help before the end of this week I would be happy to assist, otherwise, you have this. I appreciate the thoughtful discussion and even the way you responded to the lone initial dissenter. It was refreshing to be involved in such a civil, brief but impactful discussion. -- A Rose Wolf  19:05, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Enjoy your break!Vizjim (talk) 19:14, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you for bringing forward these well thought-out move requests. It is producing conversation and discussion that is a critical aspect of improvement within the encyclopedia. Hopefully these articles will generate enough attention that we will see our amazing editorship engage in source and article improvement. There is so much potential. I am on break but will get on as I can until I can't anymore. Thank you for your well wishes. -- A Rose Wolf  18:06, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

It can always be renominated in the future (there is no deadline) but there's not a huge amount that needs doing before this article hits GA status – I hope you can find time to make it happen! ezlev (user/tlk/ctrbs) 04:30, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
