Kahane & Nosair
[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia, Shlomo!
About Kahane, I was trying to add credibility to the article, not eliminate facts. It is simply impossible that Nosair could be convicted of murdering Kahane once he had been acquitted of it, and he was not. It would take an amendment to the US constitution to do that. So if someone familiar with the US legal system reads the article when it says that, it casts doubt on everything else. From the terrorism knowledge base.
"El Sayyid Nosair was convicted of 9 counts, including seditious conspiracy, murder in aid of racketeering, attempted murder in aid of racketeering, attempted murder of a postal police officer, use of a firearm in the commission of a murder, use of a firearm during an attempted murder, and possession of a firearm. Nosair was sentenced to life plus 15 years of imprisonment."[1]
Apparently you are right that part of Nosair's "seditious conspiracy" conviction included that of killing Kahane, but one should not use the word murder - note that CNN doesn't, except when they are explaining how a retrial was possible. [2] I know this may sound bizarre, but that's the American legal system, and using the word is a signal to anyone that knows it that there may be an error and wikipedia should not. use it.John Z 03:25, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
Image Tagging Image:Maya223.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Maya223.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image 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 image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other images, 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 Wikipedia 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. Thanks so much. --Nsevs 03:16, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit]Speedy deletion of George Bell (basketball player)
[edit]A tag has been placed on George Bell (basketball player) 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, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, 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. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kirachinmoku (talk) 07:03, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Shlomo2000! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 16 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Avraham Toledano - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 20:09, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Zvi Glatt, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://toratzion.com/books/rise-from-the-dust.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:31, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
- I think we should probably have an article about this important person. However, you cannot simply copy paste some material from the book, and then make some minor changes when the problem is pointed out. Feel free to start over, plus please do so correctly. Assemble multiple reliable sources, and write about him in your own words.--S Philbrick(Talk) 01:30, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Yehuda Kroizer
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Yehuda Kroizer 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. — ASCII-002 I NotifyOnline 16:40, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
The article Yehuda Kroizer has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:02, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
