Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Promenade Pictures

Why didn't you notify me of Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Promenade Pictures as the template calls for? Corvus cornix_talk 23:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

The only reason I found it was because I happened to be looking through the AfD page. Corvus cornix_talk 00:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Chris Musni

Thanks for your feedback on my article and your statement of support. Misplaced Pages is fun and educational and I am enjoying being part of the community. I appreciate your making me feel welcome. Gchuva (talk) 00:55, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting that.

I reverted the wrong change. -- Scarpy (talk) 16:44, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:warn on opium

That was due to an edit conflict, and I've restored your version. However, in the future, please, instead of templating me, just come to my talk page and ask why I did it. Even if it's blatant vandalism, instead of tarnishing my reputation with a misplaced warning template, ask me what happened. With a newer editor, obviously, revert and template. But with a more experienced user, it's always better to bypass templates and see what went wrong. miquonranger03 (talk) 05:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

PAK

sorry to bother you again but a editor named kashmircloud has reverted the neutral edits on PAK and added his pro india edits in the article he seems to be pushing only his pro indian POV by diverting the articles name into POK and misleading readers so can you do anything to block or warn him and stop him from vandalising PAK article again cheers 86.156.214.251 (talk) 14:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

List of television stations in North America by media market

I am unsure as to why you have marked this as a CopyVio. As it stands most of the templates have been remade (that link to that list) with non-Nielsen information. Nielsen doesn't own a list on Misplaced Pages, they own the information and why the lists are made, but not a list on Misplaced Pages. I ask that you bring this before WP:TVS, the TV Station WikiProject for more input. - NeutralHomer • Talk • Work • October 6, 2008 @ 03:17

I am requesting the US "markets" be removed from the list as this is a list for NORTH AMERICA and Nielsen doesn't control all of North America markets (or any of the US markets, IMO). - NeutralHomer • Talk • Work • October 8, 2008 @ 04:04

Exactly what is the WP:CP department doing with this list exactly? The list has sat on WP:CP's page for almost 6 days with no one action taken. I'm not understanding what the point in that is. - NeutralHomer • Talk • October 11, 2008 @ 04:10

I don't understand why this article has the copyright violation tag either? I thought this issue was already resolved. I also agree that only the U.S.A part should be removed. Nielson doesn't have anything to do with Mexico, Canada, or other parts of North America. Joeloliv8 05:33, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

What Joeloliv8 touched on, and the "powers that be" are understanding" is that the copyvio would only fall on the US section, not the entire page. If you delete the entire page, that is overstepping bounds and giving authority where it doesn't belong. Nielsen has no control over Mexican, Canadian, or Caribbean areas. If it so requires (and I still think it doesn't) removal of the US information and ONLY the US information would be necessary. - NeutralHomer • Talk • October 11, 2008 @ 06:16

As I am seeing little, if any, action being taken in this department I have removed the US information, so that the copyright "blockade" template can be removed (which I also removed) and the information for Canada, Mexico and other North American areas outside the US and US Territories can be viewed. - NeutralHomer • Talk • October 11, 2008 @ 06:24

←Hi. :) The WP:CP department (insofar as I seem to be one of the few people in it) have been trying to get a definitive answer on this issue. I'm loathe to delete something without being certain that it should be deleted, but I'm not removing the copyright tag until I know that it's not affected by the takedown. That could get get us in trouble. :/ I have sought feedback at WP:AN, from two different admins involved with the first run of deletions and finally here, where I was sent from AN. It seems pretty likely that I'm not getting a further response. If the List of television stations in North America by media market has been addressed, fabulous. List of TV markets and major sports teams in the United States should be rewritten by the Census Bureau's MSAs, it seems. If one of you can to tell me what that means or how to do it, I'd be happy to get it off the queue. I hate having things hang around unresolved. :/ --Moonriddengirl 11:14, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

1969 NFL Draft

As I've been reprimanded for this before I'll just make note to you that Wikilink's should not be duplicated within an article as you did with the 1969 NFL Draft article / table / list. I have since repaired the edit/s. Please only wikilink first instance or first instance of importance. Happy editing Slysplace 01:06, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Regarding the expansion draft pages, put them on your watch list. I hit those a few days ago, or at least formated your tables for you. Not knowing the format your going for or how much data you wish to include I did not want to go too much further. Slysplace 21:41, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

I thought that I had all of them watched, but evidently I didn't. Great start on the 1961 table. The one that is by far the most complete is the 2002 NFL Expansion Draft article, it is currently undergoing a feature list review. I guess if I had a format, that would be my model? Although I am open to anything that is uniform across all the draft pages and gets them feature list status eventually. I love football season... :) --User:2008Olympian_chitchat 01:34, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

You should reduce the use of abreviations in the 2002 article, likewise you should set the table widths to 100%. I wont edit 2002 if it's under review but I did do some additional editing to the 1961 vikings article. Also I (personaly) think the alternating colors in the table headings are a bit to much you really should use 1 color for text the other for background like you did in the 61 expansion / vikings page ... just my 2 cents Slysplace 01:46, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

The table was at 100%, but a FLC reviewer suggested otherwise. If you would post a comment on the FLC page as to making it 100%, that would help me get a consensus as to how to set the table. I tried a similar color scheme to what was on the Vikings page, but red on dark blue was too hard to read, whereas yellow on purple looked great. On the 1995 and 1976 pages, I used the colors of the two teams that were on the draft.--User:2008Olympian_chitchat 03:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmet leftface.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmet leftface.png. 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. BJBot (talk) 06:25, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

• It was used, but then I replaced it with a better image in 1976 NFL Expansion Draft.--User:2008Olympian_chitchat 15:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
