Speedy deletion nomination of File:Addgene Logo.jpg
[edit]A tag has been placed on File:Addgene Logo.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 21:56, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
H-principle
[edit]Hello. I saw you edited homotopy principle to say that it "was then further developed by Agnar Höskuldsson". I am not sure that is correct. Höskuldsson did write an article "H-methods in applied sciences" but I think this is not related to the h-principle in the sense of homotopy principle. The H in Höskuldsson's article refers to Heisenberg, as I understand it, while the H in h-principle refers to homotopy. Furthermore, the references in Höskuldsson's article does not seem to include any geometry or topology papers. So I think there are two different things both called the h-principle. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 10:34, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Geneticcuckoo. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Henrik Verder, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Henrik Verder to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

[edit]Edit summaries
[edit]Hi there. When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.
Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field. If you are adding a section, please do not just keep the previous section's header in the Edit summary field – please fill in your new section's name instead. Thank you.--220 of Borg 19:49, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Albert G. Richards, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://flowerxrays.com/bio.htm.
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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

File permission problem with File:Photography of Henrik Verder.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Photography of Henrik Verder.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. January (talk) 19:53, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]Hello Geneticcuckoo, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Albert G. Richards has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 11:44, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Geneticcuckoo. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Bionic (musician), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 06:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Elizabeth Knight (disambiguation)
[edit]A tag has been placed on Elizabeth Knight (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either
- disambiguates only one extant Wikipedia page and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
- disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

A page you started (Alice Archenhold) has been reviewed!
[edit]Thanks for creating Alice Archenhold.
I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:-
Seems like an important subject for an article. I've carried out standard cleanup to finish off an article on a scientist, adding categories, a defaultsort and authority control tag for future linking with scholarly IDs like ORCID (which I haven't done yet!). I recommend the Google Books citation generator for filling out citations from Google Books, as it adds an ISBN number for you and saves lots of time with typing. Some of the original sources were not of an acceptable standard for Wikipedia (two were from a website that just cloned text from the German-language Wikipedia) so I've removed them and replaced them with genuine sources. I've also looked a bit more on Google Books-two books give her date of death as 9th February so I've changed that and cited them as they look more reliable, although it doesn't let me view the whole article text (the Frauenmosaik article seems to have a lot on her, so maybe a direction for future research?) I have one additional concern: are we sure that she's actually buried in the Berlin cemetery, or is that a memorial to her? I've made the language ambiguous because Google also turned up for me a text that implies it's only a memorial. There's a photo on Wikimedia Commons of the grave but I can't quite read what it says. Anyway, hope that's all OK!.

Not quite how disambiguation works
[edit]Hello. I've just nominated the Fanny Moser disambiguation page for deletion after removing the link to a non-existent article. The purpose of disambiguation pages is to help users find information that's here regarding ambiguously named topics. See MOS:DABRED.
Also, when you do disambiguate a title, the disambiguator should be something pertinent to what the subject is known for. If there were articles on two Fanny Mosers, the one that was already here would be better titled "Fanny Moser (baroness)" or "Fanny Moser (Swiss heiress)", or something like that, whereby people would be most likely to discern whether this is the Fanny Moser they're looking for. What a woman's family name was before she was married beside the point of most people's interest in her, and to choose that as a disambiguator where you'd have no equivalent recourse for married men having the same name is pretty sexist. Largoplazo (talk) 21:21, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
@Largoplazo: Dear Largoplazo, I am not an expert at the nuances of Wikipedia formatting, however I was trying to create a disambiguation page as there are two women with the exact same name, one of which I was creating a new page for as part of the Wikipedia Women in Red group (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Missing_articles_by_occupation/Scientists). Yes, I do appreciate feedback and help in improving my edits, however you do come across as quiet aggressive by accusing me of sexism. I simply looked up other example disambiguation pages and copied how they disambiguate between two individuals with the same name, and the example I saw used maiden names. Yes, I am happy to take your suggestion and make the relevant corrections, but if we want to encourage new editors to join Wikipedia, especially women, then maybe offering support rather than hostility would be preferable. Geneticcuckoo (talk) 22:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
- That's quite ironic. I would expect a vigilant feminist to pounce on any man who chose to distinguish two like-named women, not according to whether one was Scottish and one was Polish, or whether one was a minister and the other a physicist, as he would for two men, but according to their maiden names. So, here, I speak up for women and I get shot down. Damned if I do and damned if I don't.
- Anyway, I didn't say it as an accusation. The scenario in my head was that my remark would be read by someone who agrees with me on the evil nature of sexism but to whom the sexist overtone of this particular disambiguator hadn't crossed his/her mind; and this person would say, at least to him/herself, "Whoops! My bad. I should have thought of that. I'm glad he pointed that it." I'm sorry if it came across as hostile. I didn't intend it too. Largoplazo (talk) 23:38, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your work!
[edit]I've just edited a few articles that you recently created, and I wanted to say thank you for adding new articles about women!

A page you started (Medical Society of the District of Columbia) has been reviewed!
[edit]Thanks for creating Medical Society of the District of Columbia.
I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:
It's not immediately clear why the content about Mary Spackman and Mary Parsons is in this article: if you would like to keep it in this article, it could use fleshing-out, perhaps inside a paragraph or section documenting the Medical Society's changing policies over time.
To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Rosguill}}

Women in Red 8th Anniversary
[edit]Women in Red 8th Anniversary | |
In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
