School talk
Hi there!

Regarding the ongoing debate on whether or not high schools are notable, I noticed the link you placed to the 'policy discussion' page. I've read through it, but the main problem seems to be that said discussion is over a year old, and that no clear consensus was established. Indeed it would still be impossible to establish a consensus. This assumedly means that articles on schools will be arbitrarily deleted or kept, depending solely on the amount of people that happen to be voting that particular week.

What bothers me is that most people who vote for keeping them, either do so with the argument that everything verifiable should be kept, or start insulting the people who vote for deleting. I realize this is an inherent problem of a wiki, but it seems that consensus has been reached on several other matters in the past, so why not here? Do you have a suggestion on how to accomplish this? It's hard to tell which party is actually the majority - not to mention which party is actually 'right' (if there even is such a thing).

Hi, Radiant!

I agree with you in every point. I've also read through the 'policy discussion' page and didn't quite get a hold of what was the consensus on the matter. I placed the link precisely as a way to indicate that my position could not be upheld by an established Wiki policy. And, yes, this means that (IMHO non-notable) schools will be ruled out or kept depending on the number of partisans pro or against inclusion voting in a particular week, which is absolutely regrettable.

I suppose the proper way to try to reach a consensus would be through the referred 'policy discussion' page. If it really is over a year old and people are still voting with no support of a generally accepted policy, maybe discussions should be restarted there. The page does seem clustered at the moment, though. I'm still relatively new as a contributor, is there a polite way to reformat it so that new constributions can be more easily made?

The sooner we address this problem, the better. Suppose we later reach the consensus that schools should only be allowed when they are "really notable" (whatever that means is also a matter of discussion). Then we'll have to review many "kept" decisions taken in a week where most voters were pros. Suppose the opposite, and the "Votes for Undeletion" page will clustered with requests for pages "deleted" when the majority of voters were against inclusion.

Hi there,

Glad to hear that. Personally I believe that any statement along the lines of 'all X are notable' is untenable. I've started two policy discussions on today's VfD page, if that idea catches on then high schools would be a suitable third (so please post your comments in both).

Some other thought occured to me... it may be possible to provide an outlet for high schools in one of the other Wikis, in particular WikiTravel. But on Metawiki, there is talk of Wikiteer, which is to include extensive geographical and sociological information, but doesn't exist yet.

I'd like to hear your opinion on this. I've asked the same question of a couple of other users, so please respond on User talk:Radiant!/Schools. Thank you. Radiant! 14:55, Feb 23, 2005 (UTC)

Saleel
I'd like to know why you voted to delete, rather than improve, Saleel. Can you tell me why exactly you don't think the Saleel network, which numbers in the thousands of members deserves even a mention? or is it that you dislike the layout, in which case I'd ask what do you believe could be done to improve it ? --Irishpunktom\talk 11:29, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
 * I sincerely appreciate the improvements you made on the page, but I still believe this web forum is not notable enough to deserve an individual article. Regardless of the content, IMHO web forums must be really notable to have individual pages in Wikipedia. Of course, I wouldn't object to Saleel being mentioned in a more general Islam-related article about the Muslim community in England. vlad_mv 16:05, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Pokécruft
From checking on the VfD, I see at least two Pokécruft on there (I voted Delete on both). It looks like things are just getting started. Zscout370 21:40, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, I also voted delete on both. From what I've seen so far in VfD, you'll have the opportunity of expressing your oppinion on this matter very soon: Pokécruft comes in every other day. Vlad M V  &#1645; talk 00:44, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Jonathan Speak and Jonathan speak double trouble
I agree both should be VfD as non-notable and possible vanity. I don't know how to make a double nomination. I don't know the proper format or mechanics of that. Please be bold and make one for me, if you like, and I'll support. Thank you. Jonathunder 15:41, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)

Your sig
I'm fairly new here... I just wanted to ask, how did you make your signature like that? With the colors, and the talk link attached? And what do you input to do it? Thanks Foodmarket 17:48, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WP:PNA
The procedure you describe appears to be what would be needed to reproduce the precedent of the other sections, though the convention itself seems rather convoluted to me. -- Beland 02:39, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Freudian Psychology
I agree with the attention marker you put on the Mortido article. Frankly, I think that the whole Fruedian Psychology section in general needs a serious re-structuring, since the articles tend to contradict eachother on things such as names for the various drives, whether "Libido" is a "drive" or an "energy". I think a page outlining the various drives and complexes, and defining "drive" and "complex" would be great, but I'm new to Wikipedia (contribution-wise) and not sure how this would exactly work. I don't think it would fit well on the psychoanalysis page, or the Sigmund Freud page.

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

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:11, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:DangerousLiaisons_Screenshot_OpeningScene.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DangerousLiaisons_Screenshot_OpeningScene.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. Videmus Omnia Talk  15:12, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:VolleyballGrandPrixLogo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:VolleyballGrandPrixLogo.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
