Image:99_Flake_Strawberry.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:99_Flake_Strawberry.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages 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 {{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 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. Rettetast 20:56, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

99_Flake_chocolate.jpg

I have tagged Image:99_Flake_chocolate.jpg as {{replaceable fair use}}. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. Rettetast 20:56, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

CSD AutoReason

I was informed earlier today about a bug in IE6. I've since fixed it per the suggestion and IE6 is working fine again. Just thought I'd let my spamlist know that they need to purge their local cache (Ctrl+F5 on most browsers) to get the latest version of the script. Regards, ^demon 16:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Cheshire_Cat_McGee.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Cheshire_Cat_McGee.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. ShakespeareFan00 22:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

My recent RfB

Thank you so much for your participation in my recent RfB. Though it closed with 72% support (below the required 90%), I'm still quite pleased at the outpouring of support shown by a fair percentage of the community.

I'm currently tabulating and calculating all opposing and neutral arguments to help me better address the community's concerns about my abilities as a bureaucrat. If you'd like, you can follow my progress (and/or provide additional suggestions) at User:EVula/admin/RfB notes. Thanks again! EVula // talk // ☯ // 04:29, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Ctrl+Alt+Del

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Ctrl+Alt+Del, by Ripster40 (talk · contribs), another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Ctrl+Alt+Del is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Ctrl+Alt+Del, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:08, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Review and comment sought

Hiya,

I've got a proposal I'm working on, I wouldn't mind some early stage feedback from editors I know, before any wider review. It's the first time I've proposed something like this. Would you be up to casting an eye over it and giving impressions?

And on a separate note, can you enable your email :)

Be good! FT2 12:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I have seen that you like to contribute to serial killer articles I am trying to organize a task force on this subject under Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Criminal Biography. If you would be interested in joining contact me. Thanks, Jmm6f488 19:40, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

i am so sorry.. i didn't Know that this was against Something.. um i just created this page because some people wanted the bios of the eggs from http://en.wikipedia.org/List_of_Spyro_the_Dragon_characters and other places... but i got all 150 Eggs on there.. but for one thing i want to know is... how come it said Misplaced Pages is not a game guide when they have things like that on Spyro Characters, i mean this is like characters but their eggs and names of them are there

Um

lets see here.. can i create the page and when i do i will create a talk page so we can discuss this and see if theres a way we can keep it on here

ARJ prod

Hello, I'm wondering why you would call ARJ as not notable. As for old and obsolete, there seems to be alot articles on old and/or obsolete subjects (such as astrolabes, matchlocks, etc). It should certainly be notable, as it was quite popular back in the day, and you still run across ARJ files on FTP servers now. It was the format of choice on the Amiga. I'll check on your talk page for a reply. 132.205.44.5 22:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

• Sorry, you're right. A quick Google check was inconclusive, so I tagged it for PROD, figuring that if it was important, someone would unPROD it. Which did happen, so there that is. No harm done, and I've certainly no malice towards the article. I'll let it be =) ♠PMC♠ 19:43, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Non - notable philosopher?

The reason why I decided to write again in wikipedia despite my decision not to visit again this non-reliable site is the deletion of my article for the so important philosopher of our times, Francois Dintieue. Ok, I understand. Misplaced Pages may have strict rules in order to fulfill its own evil goals such as preventing its users from learning really important things that could affect their lifes and promoting certain artists, politicians, philosophers and so on. In a few words, I've already figured out that wikipedia is a propagandistic site. Although it's illegal, I understand that it is an unavoidable effect of today's international political and social situation.'It's just the easy way to earn big money'. That I do not understand and irritates me the most is the reason why my article was deleted. How and why could one call Dintieue a 'non-notable philospher', while he is one of the most -if not the most- important philosopher of our times ? Only because he hasn't given himself publicity yet? Beatles were not famous when they started their career too - they were very respected though. One must be famous, in order to accept one's opinions, is that what you believe PMC ? If that is, then you make me very sad. I'm very sad because of you, PMC and all of you who can not or do not want to understand a single thing about philosophy and can't listen carefuly not to what only Dintieue, but other well-known philosophers such as Plato and Socrates have to say. I'm really sad and embarassed of humantity's situation and I hope that someday, someone, will have enough courage to withstand the deep meaning of Dintieue's and other progressive philosophers' -such as he- words. That's all I have to say. If one of administrators does understand, he/she should know that the recreation of my article would really help the others to act likewise.

Let me show you the way.Recreate my article.

It's a place in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia

Ok look I know I put a note in the article about Beaver Bank. I know that I should'nt have but on the thing where it says Neighborhoods in the Community in that box over to the side, it should be allowed there. Thanks.

Ok Thank You

Ok i thank you very much for equally taking away all Neighborhoods and i would also like to ask you a question. How do you make your own page and also i would like to know how you do that little box over to the side. Please tell me. Because i would like to start a new article on something.

Thanks

CSD AutoReason Updated

Attention spamlist! I've just updated CSD AutoReason to account for the new image deletion page. If you'd just hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 in most browsers), you'll get the new version and be on your way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ^demon (talk • contribs) 17:54, August 27, 2007 (UTC)

delete of page Redeye

Hi, new to Misplaced Pages and was trying to learn how it works. I wrote the page on a company that gets quoted a lot in the papers I read but that has a sucky homepage, so I wanted there to be some quick information to look up for people like myself. I took some of the info from their page, some from other pages, and some from what I had figured out myself. WOuld definitely not call it blatant advertising since there was at least two links to critical articles. Had a lot more references than any of the similar swedish companies I searched for on Misplaced Pages. I get the point that advertising should be deleted, but since wikipedia is also a resource to get a quick overview of many things including companies, how am I to write on a company without it getting deleted? Can I have the text back please? It was a lot of work. HOw does it work when something is important in one (smaller, like sweden) country and area but not in the US? Search "redeye oberoende analys" and you will get the relevant hits - there are a lot (it means "Redeye independent analysis") http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Redeye_%28finance_analysis%29 Felis21 19:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Redirects for discussion/Log/2007 September 8

Hi, can you take another look at your close of 52005 → 11th millennium and beyond? The keep opinions were only in relation to 15232 and 52005. There was agreement the other redirects should be deleted. WjBscribe 23:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of recently started "Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey" article

Dear Premeditated Chaos,

Yesterday I started an article on Captain Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey, the creator of the so called "Sankey diagram". The only addition I had made to that article so far had been an external link pointing to another page which provided biographic information on this person; my intention was to continue adding elaborate information to the article and took care not to just simply quote the other page's content, in order not to infringe any copyright rule; then I found that the article had been nominated as candidate for speedy deletion on "CSD G1: Patent Nonsense" grounds. I carefully read the "Criteria for speedy deletion" article and could not find the reason why it had been considered as "Patent Nonsense", so I tried to place an argument in favour of retaining the article, but it was not taken to consideration, and it was promptly deleted on the same grounds, according to the following entry of the deletion log: 18:20, 18 September 2007 Premeditated Chaos (Talk | contribs) deleted "Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey" ‎ (CSD G1: Patent Nonsenese) I would like to understand why my article was regarded as "Patent Nonsense", instead of being included in the "Articles... 3. No content" criterion, as per http://en.wikipedia.org/WP:CSD

Best regards

Quote your answer: "You're right. I probably should have deleted that as No Content. If you like, I will recreate it and delete it under the proper reason. Is that fair? ♠PMC♠ 17:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)"

No problem, I don't expect you to do that, I just wanted to know the reason. May be some other time I will prepare some more ellaborate text and reopen the article.

Cheers and thanks for your reply

Orphaned non-free media (Image:A Boy Named Goo cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:A Boy Named Goo cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Garrett 07:33, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Wally Beben biographical data deleted - accidentaly?

I don't agree that the famouc C64 music composer Wally Beben is so insignificant that Misplaced Pages should delete his bio page. I am quite sure a a lot of people agree with me. This deletion seems to have been done based on misconceptions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.216.152.7 (talk) 22:46, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Ewha Womans University.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Ewha Womans University.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI 07:47, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Great success!

Dear PMC,

Thank you for your participation in my request for adminship, which ended successfully with a final tally of (52/10/1). I was impressed by the thoughtful comments on both sides, and the RFA process in general. The extra buttons do look pretty snazzy, but I'll be careful not to overuse them. If you have advice to share or need assistance with anything, feel free to drop me a message or email. Thank you and good day!

Cordially,
— xDanielx /_C\ 06:58, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Aaron Herzog

I am not Aaron Herzog. I am Joe Scott. If you check my records you will see that the before I knew the terms of Misplaced Pages I tried creating an article about myself a long time ago, but since have not done so. Also, Aaron Herzog is rapidly increasing his name in the gaming industry. He has been working on the UT series for a few years now. More specifically he has been trying to make the characters move more like humans and less like they were programmed. If you could please place the article back that would be great. I was trying to show you (Misplaced Pages) that he is notable by referencing the facts I placed on the page to other notables sites like IMDb and MobyGames.

Thank You and I look forward to your response.

-Joe

Update: Sorry, I did not read your header. I created an article on Aaron Herzog and you deleted it. If you could please review it and place it back to where it was that would be great. I will try to check your page but if you could please reply on mine that would be great.

Thank You,

-Joe

Replaceable fair use Image:Swollen Members group shot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Swollen Members group shot.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot 19:48, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
