Pixmac

Hi, I wanna ask why you still delete the Pixmac page? It is not an advertising. It's quite important microstock agency and should be here. If you delete Pixmac page, delete also Fotolia, Shutterstock and iStockPhoto. Thank you for reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.230.159.149 (talk) 22:23, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[Image:MAP OF WORLD with states Booksworm travels.png]].

A tag has been placed on United Nations General Assembly Resolution 1962 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article consists of a dictionary definition or other article that has been transwikied to another project and the author information recorded.

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 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. billinghurst (talk) 03:52, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Request for help

I thought it might be a good idea to run a contest or two through the Countries WikiProject to attract editors to improve country coverage on Wikipedia, especially the country outlines.

I noticed you are a member of the WikiProject, and was wondering if you could help.

I've posted a message at Countries WikiProject talk page to get discussion started on what the awards programs should be and how they should be run.

Your ideas and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Swiss psalm now translated but needs good cleanup

I've translated the history section but it needs a good cleanup. I will make a start at this but always good to have another pair of eyes, which is why i like to make small edits-- gives other editors a chance to see it, a monolithic edit sometimes you can't see the meat for the potatoes. I know this is relatively small but it is quite complicated to translate and we must get it right. Other stuff is a lot easier to do and you breeze through it. With French there is almost a deliberate willingness in what Fowler calls Elegant Variation i.e. using different words to mean the same thing, which of course we don't really do in English so much, and certainly not on English WP (and quite rightly since it sends the reader thinking what's the difference?) So I have tried my best there but some still need discussion which I will do on its talk page, and of course there may be some typos that one doesn't see oneself, especially as I have a new notebook and miss the keys sometimes.

Best wishes, SimonTrew (talk) 16:10, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
