My concerns about the infoboxes: First, the article is so short even two of them dominate the article. Second, for consistency we really need one for each in the series, which would overwhelm the article. Finally, I wasn't sure what the standard was for including infoboxes for a whole series; it seems to me we really should limit infoboxes to one per article. Anyway, if you want to put them back I won't object.

I am currently busy in Real Life (tm) so won't be able to contribute for a while. But I am hoping to do something with this article in the future. --Cvgjunkie 12:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:PKZIPW48x48x32.png

Jupp (editor)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jupp (editor), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.mirbsd.org/jupp.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:MirBSDLogo.png

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:MirBSDLogo.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. feydey (talk) 09:26, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Jupp (editor). -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 10:01, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Can you elaborate on why adding the original author of the program and correcting the source model is considered "vandalising"? The caption is by Thorsten Glaser with proper reference and will be used for the screenshot when it is done.

My apologies. I have changed it back to how it was at your last edit. I have checked your edits and see that I was mistaken. I am not sure why you got a 'final' warning as you have not been given previous warnings - I have removed the above warning. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 10:41, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for correcting the situation. Indeed, these Wikipedia warnings can be rather harsh. Fredbc (talk) 08:23, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure why it went straight to a first and final warning - it should have been a more 'friendly' first warning! I'm glad that you are happy with the resolution! Happy editing -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 12:22, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of S3D (game engine)

The article S3D (game engine) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of how this might meet notability guidelines. Lacks citations to significant coverage in reliable sources.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RadioFan (talk) 12:55, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jupp (editor)

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Jupp (editor), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous 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 G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. 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 independent 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. Yworo (talk) 23:08, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
