Speedy deletion nomination of A Successful Guide for a Guitar Audition at Berklee College of Music

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

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on A Successful Guide for a Guitar Audition at Berklee College of Music, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of A Successful Guide for a Guitar Audition at Berklee College of Music and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Matias4000 (talk) 23:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC) This is not spam. I don't know how should i rewrite the article? I want people to know the book like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_Idiot's_Guides where it is not tag as spam but still they talk about the book. what should I delete from the article in order to not be categorized as spam? thanks[reply]

To be clear, I didn't write this article; Matias4000 did. Not sure why he posted the speedy nom on my page.--YixilTesiphon ^Talk_Contribs 15:08, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notenglish-tag

Hello, I see that you've put MožiÄk on the Wikipedia:Pages needing translation list and added a notenglish-tag. I've removed those and think I should explain why. The reason is that we generally move articles to VFD after they have not been translated for two weeks: If an article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be moved to VfD. When moving items to VfD, the boilerplate text on the article should be changed from {{notenglish}} to {{subst:vfd}}. (from Pages Needing Translation). The reason for this policy is that otherwise we would end up with lots of text in foreign languages when sometimes we're not even sure what language it is.

And welcome to Wikipedia, by the way! Sietse 10:37, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

US state stub tags

I see we are both working toward the same thing, for a US state stub tag. I saw your comments on the Stub comments for a Texas stub. I had a similar idea for Utah: Template:UT-stub. We should work together on this. --[jon] [talk] 14:03, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think what we've got to do is convince people that these are viable. I've got about 20 for TX. --YixilTesiphon 03:50, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

Stub sorting guidelines

I sincerely believe that we really need to lay down the law in stub sorting, and really provide a guideline. I believe that we should all attempt to reach a general consensus by April 2, 2005 in a set of rules that we can follow. Once we have built a set of guidelines, we can formally create a policy out of those guidelines. We need to define what a specialized topic stub is, how many articles it should cover, when is it appropriate to create it, what defines its need for its creation, what defines its need for deletion, what criteria it should follow, what are the general steps should one take when sorting a stub, whether or not to start using subst: for all templates, whether or not use subst: for all templates created by the meta-templates, and any other matters that may come up in consideration. I thank jag123 for initially creating the subpage for the project at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Guidelines. Even though they have been discussed, I feel that we really need to confirm everything. For that, we should discuss each issue with its own sections, and raise a list of issues that we need to nail down before really continuing on. The English Wikipedia is nearly at 500k articles. Either the MediaWiki software needs to handle stubs such that they can be found with a simple union of categories, or the sorting is done manually by Wikipedians. Personally, I think the latter is less taxing on the server load, especially when we use subst:, which I think would help the Wikipedia out, performance wise. Please make your comments at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/Guidelines. I apologize for making this somewhat of a spam notice, but since the project has more members, the project can finally decide on these important issues at hand. -- AllyUnion (talk) 23:24, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

WTF!?!

Don't you assholes have anything better to do than delete every single page I put up? Just because you don't think genealogy is an important subject doesn't mean that it isn't important to plenty of other people. Wogsland 01:59, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, personal attacks are generally frowned upon here. Second of all, nobody said geneology wasn't important. Thirdly, your page had nothing to do with geneology; it merely said who you were and had an ad for your geneology website. --YixilTesiphon ^{Say hello} Consider my Wikiproject idea 02:06, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Park Cities Images

You know what? The Park Cities pages on my site haven't even been migrated from older versions of my site. I've been too lazy to update them. You are absolutely right about the University Park UMC.. I have it noted as such on the other site. I'll update the pages on my site and get you the releases of all my park cities images right away ;).. Drumguy8800 05:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

On a second note, I would like to thank you for your interest/support in the Dallas area pages.. Thank you thank you thank you. Drumguy8800 05:54, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Ya know, I have no idea how to link to images, so I'll just make them really small..

In fact, next time I drive through the Park Cities (maybe this Saturday, even) I'll drop by Highland Park Village, SMU and Snider Plaza to get you some more content. Drumguy8800 05:57, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I noticed on the Highland Park page that the Texas map has been scooted wayyy down. In pages like Dallas, Texas (and other big cities that have had their pages "upgraded"), the location and stuff is located in a general-info box in the top right. I'm not going to move stuff on the page because I assume you're still working on it, but either you can move the content into that type of a box or I'll be glad to do it.. just let me know! Thanks! Drumguy8800 06:20, 7 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Done with the boxes.. Had to move your images in the coding so that the "Edits" didn't pile, just so you know. I don't believe I've altered anything else, though.. and visibly, they're pretty much the same. If you ever need any other Dallas-based pictures, let me know.

Your request at Speedy Deletions has been fulfilled

Just letting you know that I've deleted your article, User:YixilTesiphon/Wikiproject Article Review, as requested at speedy deletions. Feel free to address any concerns to me on this talk page. Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 22:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

thanks ... and heads-up

Thanks for your fixes to Soli Sorabjee. I've since rewritten much of it, so you might want to take a peek.

I just ran into a copyright violation at Union budget of India (2005-06). Well, it *feels* like a copyright violation. I've redirected, but you might want to take a look at that as well.

Image copyright problem with Image:FitzwilliamRhododendron.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:FitzwilliamRhododendron.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ccwaters 19:16, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:Holderness-Plymouth NH Covered Bridge.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Holderness-Plymouth NH Covered Bridge.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

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 [[ Talk:Image:Holderness-Plymouth NH Covered Bridge.jpg|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.

Paulville, Texas

I appreciate your consideration at AFD, which is not a grace given to everyone. It would help me, and might help unjam the discussion, if you could clarify the apparent dilemma between your nomination to delete as nonnotable, and your inclusion of text into the campaign article as if mergeable. Because attribution of all contributors is required under GFDL (nothing personal), merge and delete are not usable at the same time. It seems to me you would want either to change your vote to merge (e.g. to Ron Paul Revolution as a new article), or to revert your addition to the campaign article, in order to reaffirm your nomination to delete. Otherwise your position is not clear. Thanks again! JJB 17:22, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Chesapeake

I suppose I don't understand why you reverted my edit on Chesapeake Energy. The quote is "prices". An IP address changed it to say "price". That's wrong, so I changed it back. On my talk page, you said that the correct quote was "prices" and not "price" but inexplicably changed the article back to the word "price". I leave open the possibility that I am confused, but I think I've gotten right on this one. Chicken Wing (talk) 21:17, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tagging of Fighting Windmills

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Fighting Windmills. I do not think that Fighting Windmills fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because Having released a studio album is a claim of significance.

Fair use rationale for File:David H Goodell.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:David H Goodell.jpg. 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 you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:34, 18 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for Campus Ambassadors in Houston

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian connected with Rice University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at another Houston school, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live in Houston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.--Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:50, 29 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Nelson woods.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Nelson woods.jpg, which you've attributed to applehill.org. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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-en@wikimedia.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-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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.

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here

Proposed deletion of File:Fitzwilliamnh.jpg

The file File:Fitzwilliamnh.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

unused, low-res, no obvious use

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

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) 01:01, 17 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
