Image Tagging Image:Bttle.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bttle.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 07:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Football articles

G'day Sliat,

you may have missed it, but we had a great deal of rather embarrassing edit warring recently over whether we should call a certain sport "football" or "soccer". At the moment the issue has settled on "football (soccer)", partly as a compromise, and partly because many other parts of Misplaced Pages refer to it thus. This is not an issue we want to have flare up again. Thanks, fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 14:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Footballer (soccer)

Hi, I've noticed you've changed "footballer" to "footballer (soccer)" on many bio pages (eg http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Joshua_Rose&diff=prev&oldid=44030727). Please note that "footballer (soccer)" doesn't make any sense, and you should have changed it to football (soccer) player (and not "footballer (soccer) player" either, which makes even less sense). Please be careful when making these changes as it creates more work for others. Cursive 13:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Jd4.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jd4.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an arguement why we have the right to use the media on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Sourcing images

Always give sources that people using wikipedia can themselves retrieve, a working URL, better a book or magazine. Also the english Misplaced Pages follows US copyrights so do not claim: ...is from my Father's old magazine from the sixties, so the copyright status is well past date. In the US all materials after 1923 are copyrighted usually (see Misplaced Pages:Copyright). Please do not break copyright laws. Thanks. feydey 05:08, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Even if the images are not from the US they are hosted on US computers so the locl copyright laws abide. Please read what is proper to upload before uploading or the images might get deleted. Also please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Thanks. feydey 05:18, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

sorry

sorry for listing your article on turkish australians for deletion :)

Please Don't

Please do not remove maintenance notices from articles unless the required changes have been made to the article. If you are uncertain whether the article requires further work, or if you disagree with the notice, please discuss these issues on the article's talk page before removing the notice from the article. These notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. Thank you. 193.122.31.188 09:46, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Blocked while you think about things

The intent of this is to give you time to consider your position as previously advised. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 11:32, 12 April 2006 (UTC) I do not want to respond. I have nothing more to say and the conversation is over. I just don't care about it anymore.

these people were not asking me anything. they were making a point and did not ask for a responce. the issue was over and i wanted to forget the unplesantness

all right you've made ur point. i'll fix it up again

So what the heck to you want me to do?

Australia

You are arguing about something that is largely subjective and really doesn't warrant any mention in the article. Whatsmore your addition doesn't make sense and disupts the narrative of the text.--nixie 06:46, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

The text is talking about sports Australia participates in on an international level. Later in the same paragraph other sports that are popular in Australia. Did you even read it?--nixie 06:50, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Are you aware that you have exceeded the 3RR? This is blockable for 24 hoursßlηguγΣη | Have your say!!! - review me 07:07, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

The text as it stands, before you started editing it with you POV, was choosen for a few very specific reasons, first cricket and union are not the most played sports, that's scoccer, second it's POV to pick out some sports- with no basis in fact and say that they are the "most popular". Netball Australia has more members that the AFL or NRL. Please stop changing the text to reflect you understanding of the subject.--nixie 07:25, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Sliat, could you please actually read the text you are changing and notice that it doesn't say anything about which sports are most popular. It mentions strong international teams, then other sports which are an important part of Australian culture in one way or another. Your versions mention cricket, rugby league, etc twice, and don't really reflect reality. Finally, if you really can't accept the neutral wording, please discuss it at Talk:Australia, instead of repeatedly changing it without consensus. JPD (talk) 10:30, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
