Proposed deletion of Girl Watcher
[edit]A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Girl Watcher, 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.
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.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:The Glass Key novel.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:The Glass Key novel.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Cooper Pathfinder.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Cooper Pathfinder.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Cirt (talk) 19:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Gavin.collins RFC/U
[edit]Hello. A request for comment on user conduct has recently been filed regarding Gavin.collins. Since you had been involved in discussions prior to his Request for Mediation, I thought that you would want to know. You can see the RFC/U here. Thank you. BOZ (talk) 00:54, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for endorsing one or more summaries in the RFC. Please note that two proposals have been put forward on how we can move on after the RFC: Casliber's proposal and Randomran's proposal. Please take the time to look over these proposals, and consider endorsing one of them, or writing one of your own. Thanks again for your participation! BOZ (talk) 03:34, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
The Unknown Soldier
[edit]You have done a fine job on the Vertigo titles and I noticed one thing you've done is to separate the Vertigo rebooted series from the DC one. So I thought it worth flagging The Unknown Soldier (comics), which has its own series and a completely knew character. Your call but as there are two infoboxes on the page for each incarnation that is a sign that the article is starting to bulge at the seams. (Emperor (talk) 05:10, 21 December 2008 (UTC))
- I'd love to. My editing volume has dropped off a bit of late, owing to work being busy and the fact that I just moved. Stupid real world getting in the way of Wikipedia! It'll likely be a few weeks before I return to my Vertigo project. When I do, I'll make the Unknown Soldier my first priority. Cheers. Ford MF (talk) 18:52, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
- Worth noting I've moved the Unknown Solider article to Unknown Soldier (DC Comics), as there is another one and so Unknown Soldier (comics) is a set index and everything is in line with [{WP:NCC]] (especially WP:NCC/THE). This leaves the door open for Unknown Soldier (Vertigo). Anyway no rush just thought I'd keep you up to date. (Emperor (talk) 14:58, 14 May 2009 (UTC))
- What I should say is I'm happy to sort out the splitting and cleaning up if you are busy, so you can focus on giving it a polish. Just let me know. (Emperor (talk) 15:00, 14 May 2009 (UTC))

Image copyright problem with File:Young Liars 1.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Young Liars 1.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Oral suction, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Oral suction is pure vandalism; this includes redirects created during cleanup of page move vandalism.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Oral suction, 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.

You maybe interested in the Article Rescue Squadron
[edit]Hello, Fordmadoxfraud. Based on the templates on your talk page, please consider joining the Article Rescue Squadron. Rescue Squadron members are focused on rescuing articles for deletion, that might otherwise be lost forever. I think you will find our project matches your vision of Wikipedia. You can join >> here <<. |
Welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron!
[edit]Welcome...Be bold! --Buster7 (talk) 22:44, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to ARS!
[edit]Hi, Fordmadoxfraud, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron WikiProject! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles and content that have been nominated for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable, and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles and content to quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated!
- WikiProject Article rescue squadron's (ARS) main aim is to help improve Wikipedia articles and content. If someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification.
- Sometimes we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Sometimes editors who are new to Wikipedia may perceive the deletion of "their" article as discouraging. Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages.
- The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion.
- Our primary work is improving Wikipedia articles and content. A more dynamic list with article links and descriptions are located at our rescue list.
- If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves.
- Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you.
And once again — Welcome! ~~~~
You did some editing on Scipio Africanus. His first daughter was Cornelia Africana Major. I am not able to find much information on her, while there is lots of information on Cornelia Africana Minor, his second daughter - mother of the Gracchi brothers. Started the article today, however need additional information to expand it. Do you have any ideas where to find details on Cornelia Africana Major?--Doug Coldwell talk 14:17, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, her life does not seem to have been that well documented. There's her (very brief) entry in the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology, which appears to glean its information from Livy (xxxvii. 57) and Polybius (xxxii. 13). I don't know what other information on her life there is out there; her sister seems to have gotten all the attention. Ford MF (talk) 16:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit]Just wanted to say Hi, after having passed my recent Request for adminship. How's everything going?
I don't know if you've been around in a while, but I'd like to point out to you the success we've had with the D&D GA-drive so far: Gary Gygax, Wizards of the Coast, Dragons of Despair, Drizzt Do'Urden, Forgotten Realms, Tomb of Horrors, Dwellers of the Forbidden City, White Plume Mountain, The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, Planescape: Torment, Dragonlance, and Against the Giants, and we plan to hit Dave Arneson and Drow (Dungeons & Dragons) after some work. :)
If you're interested in coming around to check out what we've been up to, you are welcome as always. :) BOZ (talk) 17:49, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering if there was anything in the Vertigo encyclopaedia that could help with that article? Also as you split off House of Mystery (Vertigo), The Losers (Vertigo) and House of Secrets (Vertigo), what do you think about splitting off the Vertigo Shade the Changing Man? There is little connection between the two series and characters and it is looking clunky (things like the alternate versions for example). (Emperor (talk) 23:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC))

Amastris (disambiguation)
[edit]Hello Fordmadoxfraud, just to let you know the reason that I removed links at Amastris (disambiguation) is because disambiguation pages should only have 1 blue link per item, to help readers easily find the article they are looking for. For more info, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages). Regards, --BelovedFreak 17:33, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- That's cool. But in the case of some of the non-blue-linked items, where dab pages like this cross-over in function to that of a list, and the items take the place of articles that are too small or insignificant to be replaced, the further terms (e.g. Tiribazus) ought to be linked as well, as we would in any article. Linking only to the first linkable term isn't really helpful in cases like those. Cheers. Ford MF (talk) 17:38, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

This article is nominated for deletion here. Please contribute on discussing the consensus there. Spidey104contribs 15:59, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Soliciting your input
[edit]Hi. There's an attempt to bring the History of Spider-Man article, which needs enormous work, up to encyclopedic standards. You were among the editors in the deletion discussion, and it'd be good to get your input on, and edits to, the work-in-progress at User:Spidey104/Fictional history of Spider-Man sandbox. With regards, --Tenebrae (talk) 04:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Ludolf Küster
[edit]I am agreed your article is better, but your decision was not correct (conflict of interest). You are experienced editor with four years of editing and you should know how to solve these kind of problems. You should ask Wikipedia:Village pump (assistance). In Englisch literature "Ludolph Küster" is used by authors like Bruce M. Metzger and Bart D. Ehrman. Scrivener used even Ludolph Kuster. There is another problem, in this edit you used not your work with explanation "interwiki linking"! According to the Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia: "Wikipedia's licensing requires that attribution be given to the original author. For most pages, this is supplied by the page history, with exceptions associated with copying and deletion. In these cases, supplementary attribution must be provided by either a link back to the source page, if available, or a list of authors. At minimum, this means a linked edit summary at the destination page—that is, the page into which the material is copied. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to make a note in an edit summary at the source page as well. Content re-users should also consider leaving a note at the talk pages of both source and destination."
I a, really surprised because you are experienced user, much more than me, because I am editing on many sites, and on every site experience is different. Do not do that in the future. With regards. Leszek Jańczuk (talk) 11:07, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:John hamilton.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:John hamilton.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 uploaded, 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) 09:34, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

- Since you have asserted it as being an federal mugshot, I have now tagged it as no source since I see no evidence supporting that since the article only mentions him serving time at Indiana State Prison and Ohio State Prison, not federal. VernoWhitney (talk) 17:16, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Additional comments needed
[edit]- Following a month-long process of multiple editors to have "Fictional history of Spider-Man" conform to Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction), one editor has objected and wishes for the article, which has been the subject of three deletion discussions, to remain as is.
- Alternately, the proposed new version appears at User:Spidey104/Fictional history of Spider-Man sandbox.
- Your input, as an editor involved in the deletion discussion, is invited at Talk:Fictional history of Spider-Man#Rewrite and replacement. --Tenebrae (talk) 21:28, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
