Zamazaan (racing sailboat)

No offense meant there, was clearing out the backlog at CAT:CSD after someone else nominated this page for speedy deletion as being empty. Pages speedily deleted under that context are without any prejudice for recreation. Unfortunately, we get tons of empty pages created by others (even well-meaning editors) that never get content added to them beyond a few words, a tag, or something like "coming soon" that deletion is just the best step. I've gone back and restored the history if you are interested in it. Thank you and happy editing. — xaosflux ^Talk 06:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just remembered, we have the {{inuse}} template that is even better then "coming soon" that you can use as well. See the template documentation for parameters. Happy editing, — xaosflux ^Talk 22:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. --John Navas 19:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Secudia

A tag has been placed on Secudia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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. ShakingSpirit ^talk 16:05, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:YFA and other articles under WP:ACR - To quote, "Gather references both to use as source(s) of your information and also to demonstrate notability of your article's subject matter", "The very first thing you should write in your article is a list of the source(s) for your information", you must indicate why the subject is notable and your source for that. Unfortunately, with new pages being created every few seconds, it's just not feasable for pages all pages to be 'watched' to see if they are developed into something. ShakingSpirit ^talk 16:15, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No need to watch, just to have a bit of common courtesy: allow a bit of time and communicate before pulling the trigger.

I created the skeleton of the company article to have something to link to the logo file so it wouldn't be shot out of hand.

Would you prefer I delete the skeleton company article and start over?

Thanks for your consideration.

--John Navas (talk) 16:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

By all means create a skeleton article, but you must say why the subject is notable; why does this company in particular deserve a wikipedia article? A short stub article to begin with is perfectly fine - write a few lines about the company, why they're important and a source which verifies this, possibly tag it with the appropriate stub tag and/or {{underconstruction}}, and you're on the way to writing a great article. Remember, we're writing an encyclopedia. Every article, no matter the length or state of construction, must be an encyclopedia entry! In brief, make sure you article says what the subject is, why we care about the subject, and how we know that :) ShakingSpirit ^talk 17:59, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:Secudia logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Secudia logo.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

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

License tagging for File:Corona Data Systems logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Corona Data Systems logo.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:08, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File copyright problem with File:Cordata PPC-400-25-200.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Cordata PPC-400-25-200.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Dead Man's Curve, Sunset Blvd at Evans Rd, Los Angeles.png

Thanks for uploading File:Dead Man's Curve, Sunset Blvd at Evans Rd, Los Angeles.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:14, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

REPLY: I've now managed to find a public domain replacement, so this file may be deleted. I'm having to upload it as a new image because I've had to change the file type to keep the size within the limit. (I'd do that myself, but failed to find a way to do that.)

Orphaned non-free image File:Dead Man's Curve, Sunset Blvd at Evans Rd, Los Angeles.png

Thanks for uploading File:Dead Man's Curve, Sunset Blvd at Evans Rd, Los Angeles.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:53, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at Archive.is

You've been reported at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#Requesting uninvolved party to intervene. It does appear you have been edit warring at Archive.is. To avoid a block, it would be sensible for you to either revert your last change, or promise to wait for a talk page consensus before editing there any further. This could reduce the chance that your account will be blocked, either by me or by some other admin. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 19:34, 3 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@EdJohnston: With respect, I'm not edit warring, and I don't appreciate the accusation. I've actually tried to have a civil discussion, but that was ignored, so I opened the issue on the Talk page myself. Regardless, if you choose to drive away or exclude people like me for imagined slights and transgressions, Wikipedia will simply be the poorer for it.

PlayStation Vue

If I made a mistake to the supported devices list then please feel free to undo or edit yourself. No hard feelings if you do. --AquilaXIII (talk) 05:45, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AquilaXIII:Thank you. I try to have a conversation before changing or reverting a change that someone else has just made.

PC and Mac: The announcement of this support by Sony specifically says "PC and Mac" so that's how I listed it in the article. While a Mac can be considered a PC, Sony apparently sees PC as synonymous with Windows, and leaves the question of other operating systems like Linux open, which is why I didn't use "Browser" as the category.
Google Chromecast: While Google does often refer to Chromecast simply by "Chromecast", official branding seems to be "Google Chromecast". Note the banner and footer graphics on the Chromecast home page, not to mention the image on the Chromecast Wikipedia page.

Your thoughts? --John Navas (talk) 15:08, 8 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@AquilaXIII:Thank you. --John Navas (talk) 00:19, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

MoviePass

How is it unwarranted? The article is making controversial claims without any reliable sources. Plus, do you have a vested interest in MoviePass? It feels like you are trying to "own" the article. ViperSnake151 Talk 21:59, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You broke the page.
Now you're deleting valid content.
You're deleting my messages on your Talk.
I have no interest in MoviePass.
What is your agenda?

-John Navas (talk) 22:04, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I did not break the page, I moved and reformatted a citation. What is your definition of "valid" content? If it includes uncited, controversial statements that can be challenged, that is wrong. And deleting messages on your talk page means they are acknowledged. Please stop with this ownership behaviour. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:13, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Are you always this rude? This is not "ownership" behavior.
You did break the page. Go back and check the references.
You've removed my properly cited content (more than once). Please stop.
You've removed my appropriate content on your Talk (more than once). Please stop.
I will now put my content back. Please do not turn this into a conflict.
If I have time, I will restore the other content as well. It's accurate.

Thank you. -John Navas (talk) 23:46, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Removing acknowledged user talk page comments is an established practice, please see Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. I also did a major edit to the page that conveys the same information in a more encyclopedic manner, and with citations to reliable secondary sources. Also, no, I am not always this rude. I am only frustrated by the fact that you're not assuming good faith and just lashing out at me because I did changes to "your" content that you do not like. ViperSnake151 Talk 23:49, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You've actually been rude from the very beginning. Take a deep breath and chill.
Had you properly replied to my comment, there would have been no issue.

-John Navas (talk) 23:53, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

p.s. I still don't think the Criticism heading is needed. The overall hostility is already mentioned under History, where AMC's objections are thoroughly explained using the exact same source. ViperSnake151 Talk 23:55, 16 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. The amount of criticism is extraordinary. -John Navas (talk) 00:12, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Please stop deleting my content. You do not own the page. -John Navas (talk) 01:32, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remember that you don't, either. I'm not deleting your content, but incorporating it in the body of the article in a more neutral manner. The disclaimer on each page states that "Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone". ViperSnake151 Talk 01:42, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your changes are neither helpful nor appropriate. Please stop. Otherwise I will pursue further recourse. -John Navas (talk) 01:45, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
