Hi Carlos. Are you sure the Barrios Sesame image is PD. I'd think it would only be fair use. -- user:zanimum

Current events and sources
Current Events page requires that one adds a source of the news (in this case, for example, Reuters) - Skysmith 11:55, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Not a great harm done. Unfortunately, there has been cases when someone has tried to include nonsense to the Current Events. So there should be a link to a news story - Skysmith 12:54, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Re: HI
Hello, thanks for the maessage. I notice you're from the Alicante province. I went on holliday there a few years ago and stayed at Denia and Altea. Your English is much better then my Spanish :). About the digussions thing, actually it was a spelling mistake, thanks for pointing it out I hadn't noticed. G-Man 22:17, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Maps
Good work on the referendum maps, they really improve the article. I'm interested in why the yes vote was lower in Catalonia than in the rest of Spain. Is it because the EU won't recognise Catalan as an official language? That's the only thing I can think of. The Basques didn't seem very keen on it either. I wonder why this was. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 13:40, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * Hola Carlos and thanks for explaining. I should have realised the secessionist parties campaigning against it would have had an effect. I'm from England since you ask. The referendum here will probably be in about a year's time and much harder to win (I will be voting yes) because the main opposition party is officially campaigning against it (a few of the top people support it but not enough of them) and some of the tabloid newspapers are unfortunately quite anti-European. It will be a close one I think. Interestingly the Welsh and Scottish nationalists and secessionists (Plaid Cymru and the SNP) tend to be more pro-European than the central British government over here. Anyway you seem to be translating your ideas into English very well. I can just about get by speaking Spanish and I can read it ok, but I'm not good enough to be able to write whole Wikipedia articles in Spanish without making mistakes. You seem to be doing fine in English. Regards. &mdash; Trilobite (Talk) 15:01, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Las Supremas
Me puse a traducir esos artículos porque casi hacen más falta en la Wikipedia en español que en ésta... ¡aunque me hizo mucha ilusión leer sobre las Supremas aquí! Y sí, estoy de acuerdo con que tenían que haber ganado, que estaban ofreciendo algo diferente y con una letra y unos gestos que pa qué :D Por lo menos la canción ha estado a punto de salir elegida, y a ver si va a ser la canción del verano.

Te invito a hacer aportaciones en la Wikipedia en castellano o en catalán al menos en estos temas novedosos sobre España que luego traduces al inglés, así se benefician más lectores.

En cuanto a las imágenes... bueno, cada Wikipedia tiene sus propias políticas y yo estaba a favor de usar el fair use (para meter, por ejemplo, imágenes de videojuegos para ilustrarlos mejor), pero hubo una votación y salió que no. Sabbut 18:57, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sobre els municipis del País Valencià.
Hola!! A la teua pàgina d'usuari poses que coneixes el valencià, i açò és una sort perquè em podrè dirigir a tu amb la llengua que faig servir per als meus amics ;). A més a més, gairebé som paisans, perquè visc a l'Alacantí, a Sant Joan d'Alacant, tot i que sóc nascut d'Elx. Al gra.

He volgut escriure't abans que et pogueres sentir ofés pels nombrosos canvis que he fet als articles relacionats amb municipis valencians. Al principi pensava que eren aportacions puntuals, però a mesura que el nombre de canvis augmentava sense parar, me'n preguntat si cap usuari estava dedicant-se metòdicament en crear articles sobre les nostres ciutats i els nostres pobles. En mirar l'historial me'n he adonat que sí, i per açò m'he adreçat cap a tu.

Normalment participe a la Viquipèdia en valencià (altrament dita catalana) i, ara per ara, les meues aportacions se centren en localitats valencianes. De fet, a la nostra viquipèdia hi vaig crear un Viquiprojecte (ací en diuen Wikiproject) per a les localitats valencianes, acordant-hi uns criteris i recomanacions d'estandardització d'articles relacionats amb el tema. El tens a Viquiprojecte Municipis del País Valencià, i també en tenim d'un altre relacionat amb les comarques, Viquiprojecte Comarques del País Valencià. Amb açò, el que fem allà és evitar que tornen a repetir-se errades de criteri, aixina com la repetició de treballs, o que uns i altres, per no haver acordat un criteri comú, es trepitgen el treball.

Et dic tot açò perquè jo també tenia en ment fer articles sobre localitats valencianes tant a la viquipèdia en anglès com a la viquipèdia en espanyol, utilitzant com a base d'informació el que fem a la viquipèdia en valencià. En altres paraules, tenia pensat copiar el viquiprojecte a l'espanyol i a l'anglès, perquè el criteri fòra el mateix. Obviament, algunes qüestions haurien de ser un poquet diferent, sobretot allò referent a l'ús de les llengües, per exemple. Es per açò que he volgut posar-me en contacte amb tu per a vore si és possible que arribem a un acord sobre els criteris d'ús de les llengües (toponímia, llocs, edificis, etc...), per a no trepitjar-nos la feina mútuament. Fins i tot, si et sembla bé, podem crear ací un Wikiproject, partint del que ja existeix en valencià, i l'anem adaptant amb les circumstàncies de la viqui anglesa.

En fi, salutacions, i bon vent!

--Martorell 15:49, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Holes de nou Waninoco!! M'alegre d'haver rebut una resposta edificant i constructiva per part teua. Com a principi general, em sembla molt vàlida la idea de basar les entrades dels articles relacionats amb les localitats valencianes pel seu nom oficial aprovat, en primer lloc, i pel seu domini lingüístic, en segon lloc. A la nostra viquipèdia tenim un Llistat de municipis del País Valencià amb la seua denominació oficial, al costat del seu nom en valencià i en castellà. El problema vé que són força difossos alguns noms en castellà de molts dels municipis considerats de predomini lingüístic valencià, com ara Alacant, el nom oficial del qual és bilingüe Alacant/Alicante.

Tot i que en aquest cas sóc partidari de referir-se generalment com a Alacant, abans que res intente ser pràctic, i sé que en poc de temps de res alguna persona ja començarà dir que no és el nom més conegut, etc etc etc. Aleshores, per als municipis que tinguen la denominació bilingüe oficial, havia pensat que es podria fer una plantilla, del tipus, on el nom de la localitat seria la variable. Així, a l'article d'Alacant hi posariem, i al de Alicante hi posarien. Si no m'he fet entendre, visita la pàgina d'Alacant, o d'Alicante, i voràs el resultat.

El tema de si valencià o català m'és igual, tot i que personalment jo faig servir més el terme de "valencià" quan es tracta amb articles relacionats amb el País Valencià. Ara bé... de la mateixa manera que a Espanya en diem castellà a l'espanyol, al País Valencià li diem valencià al català. Però fora d'Espanya és força més conegut el nom d'espanyol (spanish), com que fora del País Valencià i de la resta de l'àmbit lingüístic és més conegut el nom de català (catalan). Sé que últimament s'està fent esforços en promoure el nom de valencià fora del País Valencià (valencian), però encara és massa prematur com perquè aquest nom s'associe a la mateixa llengua del català.

Per últim, el tema del nom del País Valencià en anglès. Sé bén bé que el nom oficial és Comunitat Valenciana, en valencià, i Comunidad Valenciana, en castellà. El nom de "País Valencià", en valencià, i "País Valenciano", són termes legalment admesos encara que no siga oficial, perquè ho recull el preamble de l'Estatut d'Autonomia. És a dir, es diu "Comunitat Valenciana" al "País Valencià" com ara es diu "Comunitat Autònoma Basca" al "País Basc" encara que aquest últim no és un terme oficial. Ara, en la qüestió del nom en anglès, el problema és que no hi ha cap tradició d'un nom en anglès. Jo feia servir "Valencian Country" perquè dir "Valencian Community" no té el mateix significat que "Comunitat Valenciana", perquè el terme "community" es refereix a un conjunt de persones amb unes diferències comunes dins d'un ambient cultural majoritari (per exemple, "the jewish community in NY City"). Ara, el nom de "Land of Valencia" no va sorgir de mi, i té exactament el significat territorial i social que té l'equivalent "Comunitat Valenciana". És un nom en anglès que fa servir la pàgina de turisme oficial valencià http://www.comunitatvalenciana.com, on en francés és "Communauté de Valence", i en alemany és "Landes Valencia". Resulta que el terme "Land" sovint es fa referència a un territori autònom, i l'exemple perfecte són els lander alemanys, l'equivalent a la comunitat autònoma a Espanya.

Re: Spanish transition to democracy
Sorry for responding slowly to your message. I have been too busy with exams to work on wikipedia. Now, I'm finished though. I'll have a short break to work on the translation of the Spanish transition to democracy article. I started the translation to practice for a trip to Spain I am taking in a week. So, I probably will not get much done before then, and then I'll have to take a longer break. If you want to help with the translation, I'm working on the second section now. Feel free to work on other sections, of course. If you want to work jointly, let me know. I could edit your sections or vice versa. --Bkwillwm 04:15, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

English correction
your page says you'd like to be apprised when someone corrects your English. I changed the sentence "It is also remarkable its Moros i Cristians festival." to "Also remarkable is its Moros i Cristians festival." in the article on Crevillent. The first sentence seems to have two subjects "it" and "its festival", which is not allowed for English sentences. diff

Grasshopper Page
Why was the photo gallery on the grasshopper page removed? I can see no reason why the photos on the old page (Grasshopper) shouldn't be included in the new version. That photo from fotoclipart.com is useless compared to the old ones. --Fir0002 07:26, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)


 * No I was the one who created the gallery - my edits were lost when most of the info was moved from Caelifera to Grasshopper (see the caelifera history. I think it should be returned. What do you think? --Fir0002 12:03, Jun 21, 2005 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Alcoi 1925.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Alcoi 1925.JPG. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. Thuresson 20:03, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Cocentaina.png, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal. If you have any questions, ask them at Media copyright questions. -- 01:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Las_Supremas_de_Móstoles.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Las_Supremas_de_Móstoles.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 18:26, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Son de Sol.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Son de Sol.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Image permission problem with Image:MareNostrumReal.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:MareNostrumReal.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL 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 [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may 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. Samulili (talk) 13:54, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Barcelona Supercomputer Center.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Barcelona Supercomputer Center.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Proposed deletion of Higüey


The article Higüey has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "There has never been a province in the Dominican Republic named 'Higüey'. Also, there is no Wikipedia article about the Taíno chiefdom and its present-day mention is merely academic as Taínos had no written history, so a hypotetical article about the chiefdom should use the template in the city's article instead of needing a disambiguation page. Therefore this disambiguation page is unnecessary. Note that an unsubscribed user pointed this previously in 2014 on this edit: Special:Diff/632583627."

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.

''' This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. ''' Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
