Proposed deletion of Willingness to accept

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Willingness to accept, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unreferenced, apparent original research

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Please use the talk page prior to editing the CFS article. While I think I understand your desire to add certain information, your approach is not at all constructive or helpful. 71.7.133.156 (talk) 23:19, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Please discuss the image on the talk page rather than restoring it again. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 01:43, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Image problems

Please stop uploading images for which you fail to add the appropriate copyright details, or whose details you don't have. We take copyright status very seriously and the images you uploaded don't have this information, so have been nominated for deletion. While you may have made the screen capture, you did not make the original image and that is what counts, so you cannot own the copyright and these images are most likely copyright of the original cinematographer which is not you. Please don't upload images unless you have the permission of the copyright holder or you produced them yourself and are releasing them under a free licence. You may find it useful to read my image copyright information page. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 05:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:UVic Canada pop reference.GIF

Thanks for uploading File:UVic Canada pop reference.GIF. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the 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 CC-BY-SA 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 permissions-enwikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Misplaced Pages: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 created in your upload log. Files 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. — ξ 00:54, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

LikeALittle

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I have restored the article, so that you can improve it. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:56, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

I see you haven't edited the article yet. It was restored because you said you knew of sources that indicate notability, but if you don't edit the article to incorporate that evidence of notability then it will be deleted again. JamesBWatson (talk) 18:58, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi James, I added quite a number of sources indicating notability, but it appears that the page has been deleted again. College papers have been used for sources on other pages that I've used. There are also other non-college news sources like the Toronto Star that were sourced. Why was it deleted?Spudst3r (talk) 02:00, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

The coverage seemed rather parochial, and not all that substantial. What exists in other articles is not always a good guide, as there are many articles which don't satisfy Misplaced Pages's guidelines, and which may well be deleted if and when someone notices them and nominates them for deletion. College papers are fine as sources for verification of content, but how useful they are as sources to establish notability is debatable. I think it depends on various circumstances, such as how substantial the coverage is. However, since you have contested the deletion in the above message, I will restore the article. It will still be possible for someone to take it to Articles For Deletion, but if so it is by no means certain that it will be deleted. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:07, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Men's rights movement probation notice

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Men's rights movement, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Talk:Men's rights movement/Article probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is necessarily any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- Bbb23 (talk) 01:16, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Securitization (international relations), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page State (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:02, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
