Attack page

Thanks for CSDing the attack page about me! I do, however, seem to be under attack at the moment – it looks like there's some sock puppetry going on, but I'll let it cool and try not to aggravate the editor(s)! Cheers, matt (talk) 21:09, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion contested: Markus (prostitute)

Hello Ecw.technoid.dweeb. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Markus (prostitute), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Theleftorium 21:34, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

P.S. You may want to use AfD instead. Theleftorium 21:35, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I will change that to an AfD. Cheers! —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | ☮✌☮ 21:37, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Just submitted it, and had a change of heart, right after clicking save. I'll try to expand it a bit, add some more citations, &c. (and remove the AfD) ^.^ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | ☮✌☮ 21:45, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lyndley Craven

A tag has been placed on Lyndley Craven requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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), 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 Wikipedia'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.

Speedy deletion nomination of List of species for which Lyndley Craven is a taxon authority

A tag has been placed on List of species for which Lyndley Craven is a taxon authority requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

Articles for deletion nomination of List of species for which Lyndley Craven is a taxon authority

I have nominated List of species for which Lyndley Craven is a taxon authority, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of species for which Lyndley Craven is a taxon authority.

Portable ECG device

Hi

I need your help in restoring an article on Portable ECG device.

Thanks

--MedicineMen 02:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

—Preceding unsigned comment added by MedicineMen (talk • contribs) 02:49, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, MedicineMen. It looks like some of Portable ECG device as of this revision had been copied from Medical monitor. (see the edit summary here.) It might be appropriate to add a Main article: link to Medical monitor on the topic of Portable ECG device and add a Main article: link to Medical_monitor#Integration_with_EHR in Portable ECG device. However, you should take it up, also, with TheRealFennShysa or on the article's talk page to reach consensus before reverting TheRealFennShysa's edits, so you don't get involved in an edit war. Good luck! If you need more help, feel free to ask me (or ask someone else/at the help desk). Cheers! —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | ☮✌☮ 20:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Miriam berkley

I tagged Miriam berkley (lowercase b) for deletion, since it looks like you renamed it to get the capital last name. I'm pretty sure typing in "Miriam berkley" will still work, so I'm assuming this is what you had in mind. ErikHaugen (talk) 00:48, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I was under the impression that if a redirect was to a different capitalization, it could go here. Given the insane number of redirects there I think it's probably okay to keep them.

Amerila thelwalli thelwalli and such

I appreciate your efforts, but there is no need to add subspecies, at least for moths. There are 10,000's of species to be made, so let's leave the subspecies for now. Oh, and IF you make a species or subspecies, you need to cite the correct author. The author of the subspecies is not the same as the author of the species itself. Furthermore, please do not blindly follow the Funet page you cite as a reference. A lot of the info there is autdated. Cheers. Ruigeroeland (talk) 16:34, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

No problem. One last note, I see you have been making a lot of pages (the Australian plants) just stating the name and a taxobox. Would you please not do that for moths? I am working on making as many "real" articles I can. It is easier to see which species still need to be done if the links stay red..! Anyway, if you would be interested in making moth and/or butterfly articles, I would gladly help you out with some tips or take a look at http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Lepidoptera. Cheers! Ruigeroeland (talk) 17:55, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Machine Translations

General practice is that we do not use machine translations on wikipedia. By doing so on Deliblato Church, all you've done is made a terrible article that is practically unintelligible, and which will probably stay as such for a long time--Jac16888^Talk 11:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Deliblato Church

The article Deliblato Church has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Machine translaton of a non-encyclopedic article that does not exist in the original language wikipedia

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Andreas  ^(T) 14:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: Cookie

Ah... thanks! Just what I need right now! When I use infoboxes that don't work, I often find the problem is in one of the added items (after the "=" if you know what I mean!) and very often a missing bracket. Regards, --BelovedFreak 16:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:First Light- An Oratorio — World premiere 2005 C. E. CD album artwork resized to 150 pixels high.png

A tag has been placed on File:First Light- An Oratorio — World premiere 2005 C. E. CD album artwork resized to 150 pixels high.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stanwriter

Greetings! First, thank you for filing the sockpuppet investigation request at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stanwriter. The report appears to be correctly filed and filed in good faith.

What I'm unclear on at this point is how the two accounts have been working together to abuse the system. I don't see where Stanwriter was issued enough warnings that he was in peril of being blocked. The article hasn't gone to AfD yet, so they certainly aren't stacking votes there. Is there something else more abusive that's going on here that I'm missing? If there's not, then I don't think they've done anything yet that warrants a sockpuppet investigation—although I will be watching the BaseKit article to see what goes on there. —C.Fred (talk) 14:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay. Sorry to bother you. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | If you reply somewhere other than my talk, please leave me a talkback template. 14:48, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

No, not bothering at all. You saw something that looked odd and asked for further assistance with it (or to use the military analogy, called in the cavalry). I don't see anything sinister in the pattern (yet), so I've explained the situation to the most-recently-active user. That said, the user has also had the guidelines explained to them, so if it were to prove out that it's a sockpuppet relationship and they're used abusively in the future, he knows the penalty, so I would be willing to block one/both accounts much more quickly. —C.Fred (talk) 14:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Your RfA

I regret to inform you that I closed your RfA per WP:NOTNOW. You simply do not have enough experience. However, this is not a deterrent for your next RfA. You may try again when you have a bit more experience in admin areas, such as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, and WP:CSD. Sorry, and good luck on your next one! --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello! Thank you for informing me that you had done so. I'll try again in a year or two. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 01:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, a year or two might be a bit too pessimistic; judging by recent other admin candidates, I would suggest at least six months though, yes. I would also suggest to read some of the recent successful and unsuccessful candidacies to get a feel what the community expects, and to keep an eye on your speedy deletion nominations that were declined, to find out why, and to maybe act differently in the future: too many incorrect speedy deletion nominations have in the past often killed RfAs; that can happen if you're very active in new page patrol, but nonetheless, that's where you should strife to be as accurate as possible.
Kind regards, Amalthea 01:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Amalthea, thank you for your kind advice. I will take care when nominating speedy deletions, and perhaps try another RfA sooner than I expected I would. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 01:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Tasty planet

Hello Ecw.t.dweeb. Just to let you know, I declined the speedy deletion you suggested for this article, because CSD A7 does not apply to games. Thanks, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:08, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind in the future. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 03:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Again thanks. And please, don't apologise! Any help I can get — anytime — is ... help. :-) (BTW, the RfA doesn't seem at all to likely to succeed... I need a bit more experience :-P) Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 03:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

A tangent: A7 does not apply to songs. However, A9 applies to musical recordings (songs or albums) where there is no assertion of significance or importance and there is no article for the artist. —C.Fred (talk) 05:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Better luck next time. On the CSD's, look for a way to improve before tagging. When in doubt-- don't. Things like the declined speedies during an RFA happen sometimes. Don't give up. There's next time. Dlohcierekim 03:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news, but I've re-closed your RfA. While this one didn't succeed, I personally would like to support your next RfA in four to six months time.

blanked page

Hi Ecw.technoid.dweeb, this is a message from an automated bot, regarding Talk:Haementeria ghilianii. You blanked the page and, since you are its sole author, FrescoBot has interpreted it as a request for deletion of the page and asked administrators to satisfy the requests per speedy deletion criterion G7. Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text {{db-author}}. If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the {{db-author}} tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to recover deleted pages. Please do not contact the bot operator for issues not related with bot's behaviour.

We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amy-Leigh Hickman. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Smile, you're on a Wiki-namespace

Hi,
Your subpage User:Ecw.technoid.dweeb/CJK/CJK Unified Ideographs Extension A is currently on the Category:Unicode chart templates page. Probably because my new template 'Unicode CJK ...' etc. uses your PAGENAME for a Category-entry. (Am I too fast?).

Please think about:

• If your copy here is for some hours or 1 day only, it'll be OK.
• If your delete the "Unicode CJK ..."-template from the bottom: problem gone forever.
• If other: can I help?

btw, since you're interested in these pages, met any problems? I'm enjoying a big Unicode-experience, e.g. [[{{Unicode navigation}}|here]], today. -DePiep (talk) 18:54, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Another solution: you could type around the template like this:

<noinclude>{{Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs}}</noinclude>

saves it for your page, but doesn't promote to the big wiki-namespace. -DePiep (talk) 19:10, 11 May 2010 (UTC) -typo -DePiep (talk) 19:11, 11 May 2010 (UTC) -Another typo... -DePiep (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. I removed the category... Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 17:52, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Simoleon (currency)

The article Simoleon (currency) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Simoleons simply aren't notable enough. There are few information sources, none of which prove this is a notable topic, and it isn't a real currency used by any real world markets. It's just an unimportant element in a few video games.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Added template for SuggestBot

Hi,

Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.

We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.

We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.

If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 16:11, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Территория album artwork.png. 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Orphaned non-free image File:Infected Mushroom - Stretched.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Infected Mushroom - Stretched.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions. If you have a question, place a {{helpme}} template, along with your question, beneath this message.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Infected Mushroom - Stretched.png

A tag has been placed on File:Infected Mushroom - Stretched.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:59, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi Crimsonmargarine,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:LP8.png

Thank you for uploading File:LP8.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:02, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Sergey Zhukov - Territoriya - album artwork.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Sergey Zhukov - Territoriya - album artwork.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 03:49, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
