Illuminance

Illuminance is not a typo, and is quite distinct from luminance. The former was correct.--Srleffler 04:25, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have proposed this article for deletion via Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. You may wish to express your opinion on whether it should be kept. --Brianyoumans 10:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Smile

You're right, that's problematic. I'd suggest either tagging it with {{subst:nsd}}, or listing it at WP:PUI.

By the way, you speak Farsi? That's terrific, and I'm jealous. Do you have any thoughts on this controversy?: [1][2][3][4][5] Did Ahmadinejad say what could be best translated as "Israel should be wiped off the face of the map", as has been widely quoted in the Western press? Or is his statement better translated as "This occupation regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the page of time"? Is the translation we've been told (the statement Ahmadinejad is probably best known in the West for saying) significantly more aggressive than what he actually said? It's awfully hard to find opinions from people who know Farsi and are even remotely neutral.

All the best, – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 15:23, 9 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To quote you "people who know Farsi and are even remotely neutral."... I second that. I am only a 2 with the language but things can be translated in different way. It's like saying the popular catchphrase "that's cool" It depends on the inflection of the tone... IE sarcastic, sad, questioning, happy, mad... or even perverse. You cannot have a 100% perfect translation, I'm sure if you translate that to Chinese, it can be said as "That's all right", "That is good" or even, laughably, "The temperature of that is cold". Especially as such with a language that dates back to the Zoroastrian period. My mother is Iranian Christian and she took it as, an un-quotable quote mind you, "Israel should be removed from the land"... I mean it sounds clear. If you look at the banner under which he makes that statement it says "The world without Zionism" but I don't dabble in Mid Eastern politics so I probably won't contribute to the discussion. I'm proud to be born and raised in Arkansas and being southern has diluted my capacity for legs to stand on when it comes to anything controversial... lame excuse yes I know.. But I do know if you say anything in the media you are quoted in a specific formula to get the largest response. For example. I, being Southern and Iranian were to go out to a farm and blow up a homemade bomb, the media says "an Iranian American blows up bomb". If it's race related, for anything, it becomes "An Arkansan" or if it's sexually related it becomes "A homosexual"... What I'm trying to say is he said it, but how he said it can be construed by whoever in almost any way... Basically both statements mean the exact same thing. Even the first, commonly known, statement does not mean that he wants all Israelis dead, but we CAN deduce from BOTH statements that he wants the government of Israel to go away... I think "wiped" was an embellishment... ie "nuclear wiping" to match our current stance on their nuclear ambitions. Thanks for the help with the Smile article.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Valor.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Valor.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:04, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Usatvalor.jpeg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Usatvalor.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 23:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spam in Boston Communications Group

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Boston Communications Group, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Boston Communications Group is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Boston Communications Group, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

United States Telecommunications Association

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article United States Telecommunications Association, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of United States Telecommunications Association.

Coolness warning

This is the only warning you will receive for being too cool.
If you be cool again on Wikipedia, you will be promoted to cool level 2.

Speedy deletion of ECompanies

A tag has been placed on ECompanies, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which 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 our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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 (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.

Intrado‎

A tag has been placed on Intrado‎, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 Intrado‎ 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 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. Phlegm Rooster (talk) 02:17, 25 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Earthwatch

Hi. Thanks for attempting to address the copyvio here! Unfortunately, the temporary version also infringed. For example, the temporary version said, "Their mission is to engage people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment." This press release says, "The Institute's mission is to engage people worldwide in scientific field research and education to promote the understanding and action necessary for a sustainable environment", here. The temporary version said, "Earthwatch works with a wide range of partners, from individuals who work as conservation volunteers on research teams through to corporate partners, governments and institutions." Their website says they "work with a wide range of partners, from individuals who work as conservation volunteers on research teams through to corporate partners, governments and institutions."source That's one of the problems with basing a new temporary version off of existing text. Quite often, where there's one copyright violation, there's plenty more. An additional problem is that, unless you put the text in your own words, you also run the risk of violating the copyright of Wikipedia's contributors. We release our material under GFDL, but not into public domain. That means that contributor's get attribution credit, which we provide through the article "history". Copying and pasting other Wikipedians' contributions breaks that attribution history, which is a problem. :)

In any event, in this case, there are clean versions in history which can (and will) be restored. I'm investigating to see if versions subsequent to the copyright violation should be deleted or if a warning against restoration is sufficient.

Thanks again for working on the temporary version, even if it isn't needed in this case, and particularly for pointing out the problem. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

About my move of your additions at conceit to Self-esteem#In_Buddhism

Hi Binarypower! I've moved the text you added about "conceit" from conceit (the literary device) to Self-esteem#In_Buddhism ("an inflated conception of self-worth") possibly, Māna. Please do modify or completely revert all this if you think I've made a mistake. Thanks! --Shirt58 (talk) 10:47, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
