User talk:Aaaatu

Welcome!

Hello, Aaaatu, 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, like Tommi Uschanov, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

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:

Proposed deletion of Tommi Uschanov

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tommi Uschanov, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Does not seem to meet notability guidelines, and has not been updated to meet guidelines within a reasonable amount of time.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Aaaatu, I responded to your concerns on my talk page. Please let me know what you think. Ryanthewebguy (talk) 15:01, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:V2fiscreenshot.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:V2fiscreenshot.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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:42, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to San Francisco has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Text copied from http://www.sfgenealogy.com/sf/history/hgshp1.htm.

Wow, that was an officious one. Hold your horses for a while so I can explain where we are with the actual state of affairs.

The template you are using sets a condition for "appropriate and verifiable licence". Please see the license that has been used on releasing the source content:

"Public Commons License
You are free: to copy, distribute, or display the content of the work, and to make derivative works. Under the following conditions: Attribution. You must attribute any original work to Ron S. Filion. If it is not an original work, you must clearly indicate that a copy of the work resides at sfgenealogy.com. You may not: duplicate the web page and/or content and declare authorship or copyright, or
make commercial use of the work without prior permission."

The license can be seen at the bottom end of the source web page. I would especially like to highlight the parts "you are free: to copy" and "Under the following conditions: Attribution. You must attribute any original work to Ron S. Filion". The original writer Ron S. Filion was attributed properly by referring to the source per his request. The source reference was properly prepared by carefully following on Wikipedia practices. Being free to do something means in another words being not forbidden; being allowed. Using similar phrases was authorized based on that. Does the license need to be somehow even more better expressed and highlighted?

The amount of ships you took a privilege to correct also was based on the map that can be seen on the lower end of the source web page. Up to 500 ships has not been revealed or proved that full quantity would have been sunk on the area. It was the total quantity being anchored at 1850's.

I am kindly requesting you to calm down and I preach in favour for accuracy for your future decisions with quite wide jurisdiction especially when threatening with chance of blocking from editing. You should really give necessary time for yourself and carefully go through the source material before performing such decisions and laying false accusations. Honestly, the used template was an overkill and I am expecting proper apologies on that. I am glad that there was another user who was willing to rephrase important and interesting detail of the history of San Francisco not to keep that silenced until the end of time.

I have seen Ron Filion's excellent research articles before but they were copyrighted, so this one having commons license is a surprise. I note that you did not give credit to Filion as required by the license. Binksternet (talk) 03:29, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well noted there sir. Couldn't you just admit that you were doing things way too fast. Do not be surprised. Be awake. Aaaatu (talk) 05:47, 20 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Alasinmedia logo.gif

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Alasinmedia logo.gif. 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) 17:13, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
