Articles for deletion nomination of The Woman In Black (2011 film)

I have nominated The Woman In Black (2011 film), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Woman In Black (2011 film). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I'm GSK. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view.

The Last Stand

JohnRatz why are you editing the budget of The Last Stand as 45 million dollars when two professional reliable sources were added stating the budget to be 30 million dollars and I am reverting your edit. I know BOM mentions the budget of the movie to be 45 million dollars but it is not completely reliable. Box office gross for some movies on this site is sometimes outdated and sometimes users use boxoffice.com instead for box office gross although it's budget figures are highly inflated. Next time please discuss before you edit. Box office mojo is sometimes incorrect and is not the be all end all. Other sources can be used instead of it if they are reliable.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:WreckItRalphalbum.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:WreckItRalphalbum.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.

A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, JohnRatz. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Wikipedia:Questions, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! Michaelzeng7 (talk) 03:02, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I can see that you have an interest in the use of images and/or photos on Wikipedia.

Did you know that:

Wikipedia has a very stringent image use policy?
Most images from Flickr, online news websites, and other web sources are copyrighted?
Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously?
Freely-licensed images may be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, a central location for images, from where they can be used on Wikipedia and many other wikis?
We recommend that new users use our "files for upload" process - at least until you get the hang of things?

Wreck-It Ralph Soundtrack cover

Hi there! Just to let you know, usually, when a film article already has a theatrical poster on its main infobox, a separate poster for its soundtrack is unnecessary. This is because the poster already serves the article's main form of visual representation. Wikipedia strives to be free and open for anyone to use. But for movies, there is almost never a free image that we can use to represent the subject, which is why we allow copyrighted images under a fair use claim to represent it. When an article has more than one non-free image representing essentially the same thing, it becomes unnecessary to include the second image. I have thus nominated the file for deletion here. Thanks for it anyway! Michaelzeng7 (talk) 03:11, 12 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

File:GreenGoblinDane.jpg

Hi, this file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law. According to Wikipedia's policy for non-free content, the amount of copyrighted work used under fair use should be as little as possible. In particular, non-free media on Wikipedia should not be usable as substitutes for the original work. A high-resolution non-free image is questionable fair use and may be deleted per Wikipedia's copyright policy. --NeoBatfreak (talk) 22:11, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stacey Slater text

I don't understand the reasons for you changing the text the second time...it was near identical to the way I wrote:

Your version: who bans Carmel and Kush from contacting with Arthur before abruptly suffering an eclamptic seizure. She is taken to hospital where the nurses confirm Stacey's baby will have to be delivered due to a lack of oxygen. Though the delivery is initially successful, Martin is soon told that complications have arisen.

Should be contact with

My version: banning contact with Arthur and she suffers an eclamptic seizure and is taken to hospital. In between her seizures, Stacey and Martin are told her baby will have to be delivered. Martin is overjoyed when he learns that he and Stacey have a daughter, but is told she has complications.

I don't understand. It's not terrible English and shorter and straight to the point, instead of stuff written that we didn't see. We didn't know the delivery was successful-we never saw it. Grangehilllover (talk) 16:54, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wuhan coronavirus

Because the flow of information is so fluid, the cdc is not a reliable source all the time. In order to keep up with the numbers, we should be allowed to increase them incrementally without providing a source, unless Wikipedia wants to be more of a historical source.

Proposed deletion of File:The Works UK Logo.png

The file File:The Works UK Logo.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Orphaned raster image that was not used to create the corresponding vector image and thus is not needed for attribution purposes

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
