Replaceable fair use File:Zeki AKAR.png

Thanks for uploading File:Zeki AKAR.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:35, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

List of Oh My Goddess! soundtracks

hi, i was just wondering if you could help out make the article into tracklist format. the format it is in now, is odd and hard to understand. also additional reference of where you found these tracklist is good too.Bread Ninja (talk) 15:45, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello there, I used the sources pointed out in the references section as well as the cds themselves (for timings mostly). List is probably incomplete as there had been so many cd releases. -- Cat 12:02, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm more concerned on how the list appears. again, if we can make it into tracklist format, we could even collapse the tracklist. plus it would allow to add more info about each CD.Bread Ninja (talk) 15:26, 22 March 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 Misplaced Pages: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) 01:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Chosen Realm (ENT episode).jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Chosen Realm (ENT episode).jpg. 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:59, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ttnet

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 hangon 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Qwyrxian (talk) 14:09, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Errr... That is the largest ISP in Turkey... In fact the only ISP all others use TTNET's hardware for ADSL services I belive. I know this is a late reply as the speedy was reversed (by you). I just wanted to clarify the details. The company was recently (about a decade or so ago) privatized so it doesn't have much of a history which is why article is short. The company itself is colossal though - at least as far as Turkey is concerned... -- Cat 22:32, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. The problem wasn't actually wasn't whether or not TTNET was notable, it was that, when I placed the tag, the page was a massive advertisement--so much so that there didn't appear to be enough recoverable info to keep the page (speedy delete criteria G11). However, upon looking at the history, I saw that the problem was that User:Sena5k had added all of that advertising on top of a reasonable stub. I removed, the CSD, then reverted to a non advert-like page. While Sena5k kept adding advertisement-like language, I was eventually able to get through to him/her what was needed. He found a newspaper article (only 1, but better than nothing), and I helped him/her with a series of edits to keep the article in an encyclopedic tone. While the article as it now exists is just a stub, it's at least accurate, minimally cited, and doesn't read like an advertisement. I personally believe the company is more than notable enough to deserve their own article; I would love it if we could get more sources to verify that. If you know of any other reliable sources that we can use to expand the article, I'd be more than happy to help edit them in. Even if they're links to articles in Turkish, that's fine, as long as you or someone else can translate the basic idea, I am happy to copy-edit the info into a usable form. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:12, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh I see. I should have researched before talking I suppose. This might be possible but unfortunately I am no longer anywhere near Turkey. So... we'd need a "local" to find written sources and etc. I can tell you a few things about the companies history. The company had an outage a few years ago when an underwater fiber-optic line was severed. The entire country lost internet for a few days. Could be its own section I think. Aside from that I do not know whats important enough to be in the article. :/ -- Cat 23:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Romanization for words of English origin

On the MOS:JP talk page, a discussion has been started about including or not including romanizations for words of English origin, such as Fainaru Fantajī in Final Fantasy (ファイナルファンタジー, Fainaru Fantajī) (for the sake of simplicity, I called this case "words of English origin", more information on semantics here).

Over the course of a month, it has become apparent that both the parties proposing to include or not include those romanizations cannot be convinced by the arguments or guidelines brought up by the other side. Therefore, a compromise is trying to be found that will satisfy both parties. One suggestion on a compromise has been given already, but it has not found unanimous agreement, so additional compromises are encouraged to be suggested.

One universally accepted point was to bring more users from the affected projects in to help achieve consensus, and you were one of those selected in the process.

What this invitation is:

• You should give feedback on the first suggested compromise and are highly encouraged to provide other solutions.

What this invitation is not:

• This is not a vote on including or excluding such romanizations.
• This is not a vote on compromises either.

It would be highly appreciated if you came over to the MOS:JP talk page and helped find a solution. Thank you in advance. Prime Blue (talk) 11:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:International Strategic Research Organization.png. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.
