User talk:SurfingTiger

Welcome!

Hello, SurfingTiger, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Points2shop, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Gobbleswoggler (talk) 13:24, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Points2shop

A tag has been placed on Points2shop 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 web content, 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 web content. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Jiroemon Kimura.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Jiroemon Kimura.jpg. 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 within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --DAJF (talk) 12:11, 28 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Jiroemon Kimura.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Jiroemon Kimura.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 Wikipedia (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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:25, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for August 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of highest-grossing animated films, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Fantasia and Akira (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.

Ways to improve List of longest-running UK television presenters

Hi, I'm Nick Moyes. SurfingTiger, thanks for creating List of longest-running UK television presenters!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Fascinating list. I am concerned that, if not manually maintained, all the 'Duration' figures for presenter who are still active will be out of date within 12 months. e.g. Kirsty Wark, Jools Hooland, Melvy Bragg. I suggest changing column title to smoething like (Duration(years, as at 2017), or investigating if there's a script to do this automatically as happens wih people's ages in Infoboxes. Although each show is wikilinked, thee's nothng to support any of the information within this article, so I've flagged it for needing references. If every statement of fact is clearly cited within the original article, please state this clearly within this list so users can be assured you have checked this. We must remember that Wikipedia should not be regarded as a reliable source, so this content needs to be capable of being easily fact-checked!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Ratings

I'm sorry for reverting your edits to the ratings sections - quite a lot of people just change these numbers at random and put in their own favourite shows, but I can see from the references that your edits were correct and useful. Sorry again! Bonusballs (talk) 20:58, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
