Hello, could we have a discussion?

[edit]

Hi, I'm User:Pedant, and I'm a member of the association for Member Advocates. We help people, with anything related to wikipedia. I'd like to have some discussion with you about Keane and the difficulties being experienced with that article. Would you be willing to discuss it with me? User:Pedant 22:25, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, Fluence, we are neighbors, only like 3 or 4 big citys apart, I live in Los Angeles, and I can forgive your English, si disculpame a mi Espanol, OK, this is no big problem!

I have had the same thing on articles I work on. Here we go, the rules are everybody has to assume good faith, and that we all share a goal, to make a good encyclopedia. (And also to make a good encyclopedia, we need to make a good Keane article, that tells everything we can find, that's true and verifiable from a reliable source and relevant to Keane.

OK got me so far? To force others to work with you, you only have to expect them to, the rules really say that, that you and they must assume that you share a goal.

So if you copy the piece of text that you want them to not remove, and paste it onto the page at Talk:Keane, they will see it there. And with it, you put some explanation of why you think it should stay, and ask for anyone to say why they think it should stay or go... ok? Now they must discuss it with you, or they are breaking the rules. And if nobody can say why something needs to be deleted, nobody will be allowed to keep removing it.

The rules are something we all have to follow. So you may insist that people discuss changes.

Also remember that we work with the consensus process, and try to come up with edits that everyone will want, and feel free to ask for opinions from your collaborators. If you work together with them, you will make more good progress than to not work together.

Just be nice to your fellow editors, remember that they are people interested in what you are interested in. If you could meet them maybe they would be your friend.

I'm here to help if you have more trouble, but just try my advice, ok? Leave me another message if you want more help, any time. Mi talk page es su talk page. User:Pedant 06:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pipe down

[edit]

You can't write well. You're biased. You can't write well. You're obsessive, and you don't understand what sort of information actually belongs in an encyclopedia. You can't write well. You're a stereotypical teenager and can't be trusted to document something in the style that fits Wikipedia. You can't write well.

Please, cut the crap and don't have edit wars with people. Don't revert things and talk about "power". Don't censor talk just because it's something YOU don't like the sound of.

Don't waste time by nominating terrible articles.

Grow up a little. Think before you act.

Also, be less Mexican. The Mekon 01:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion

[edit]

Removing an AfD tag before the discussion has finished is considered as vandalism. It's also rude. Richyard 17:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the unsigned comment you left on my talk page. If only you spoke English, perhaps I could understand it. Richyard 13:41, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Please don't call me a parasite, which you have done here [[1]]Richyard 13:51, 19 September 2006 (UTC) [reply]

License tagging for Image:Keane-Maybe I Can Change.ogg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Keane-Maybe I Can Change.ogg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:07, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Zocalo-mexico.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. silsor 06:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Keane-On a Day Like Today.ogg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Keane-On a Day Like Today.ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:51, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
