Orphaned non-free image File:The front cover of the book 1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The front cover of the book 1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off.jpg. 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 the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:28, 28 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The front cover of the book 1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:The front cover of the book 1,227 QI Facts To Blow Your Socks Off.jpg 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.

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.

Welcome!

Hello, Sunflowertree, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits to the page Neil Armstrong has not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and has been or will be removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. Additionally, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Armstrong

You can listen to his words here. He said "giant".Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:06, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Neil Armstrong, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, and ideas—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. JustinTime55 (talk)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Neil Armstrong. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Our etiquette rules oblige us to assume good faith when people make problematic edits, but you are really tasking my ability to do that.

"For this I cite the recording as proof." If you honestly believe in good faith that the recording supports "vast leap", I can only think of two possible explanations:

You are deaf; Armstrong is clearly saying the two-syllable "giant", not the monosyllable "vast".
You misunderstand the concepts of original research, WP:Verifiability and reliable sources. If you heard or read a WP:Fringe theory or urban legend about "vast leap" somewhere, that would need to be verified. This does not include what you think you hear on a recording, which is just your own OR.

All reliable sources have consistently maintained that Armstrong said "giant leap" for the 46 years since this event occurred, including eyewitnesses to the original live transmission (including yours truly.)

Also: do not continue edit warring; please discuss controversial edits on the article's Talk page if you think you have something valid to say. JustinTime55 (talk) 14:55, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
