Glad to see you here!

Was glad to see kharker show up in the history for Amateur radio - I've been enjoying your cartography in NCJ. And was really glad to see someone tackle radiosport/contesting. I think we should rename the Contesting article to Radio Contesting or maybe Contesting (Radiosport). --N5UWY/9 - plaws 21:24, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Amateur Radio Direction Finding

I did a little experimenting with the formatting of the end sections at the ARDF article. You may revert or alter it if there is something you don't like about it. I did it because all those end sections and sub-sections always bug me in articles. I just generally try to condense it. Anyways that is a really good article. I think it is ready for WP:FAC but that doesn't mean you should stop fine-tuning it. I say that not knowing anything about ARDF beyond what that article just told me. I raised some comments that could possibly help improve it even further. --maclean25 01:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey Kharker, I'm just letting you know that I've delisted Amateur Radio Direction Finding from peer review as it hasn't received a response for two weeks now. Hope to see it on WP:FAC soon.«LordViD» 16:41, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Fine business. I'm still poking around for a good map image that meets acceptable use criteria and illustrates what an ARDF map is all about. I hope to have something soon, and then plan to submit it to WP:FAC.--Kharker 16:57, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

You asked for final comments for this article before a FAC run. I would just like to bring up two points that may come up. First, the article currently has a separate "References" and "Notes" section. However, both section contain references that were used to write the article. These need to be merged - consider Short-beaked Echidna#References for something similar. Secondly, the first four images are very similar. Some of these images do not bring anything new to the article that the last image did not already cover. If you decide to remove, change or alter an image consider the aesthetics of the article, so that the reader is drawn into the article and wants to read on about the subject, at several different screen resolutions and browser text sizes. --maclean25 07:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I've made the changes to the references and notes sections. As for the images, I agree that the first two might be similar to each other. The others each show something new and different. Collectively, they show a wide range of ages and nationalities involved in the sport. They show different kinds of equipment being used, and so forth. I'll think about it some, though.--Kharker 19:57, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

I trimmed one photo and adjusted the photo captions somewhat. I'll see if I still like it over the next day or so.--Kharker 23:30, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The whole picture thing I mentioned above is a minor point that won't stop an FAC but I mentioned it because it is something that people notice (best you know before hand). I think it looks fine how it is, but someone will complain about all the images being right-justified. --maclean25 07:18, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thank you for fixing my flub! I had completely forgotten about that new toll road. I've been going to Galveston over the causeway for about a million years, and never even consider the newfangled one (well, and that I usually don't go down much past Jamaica Beach anyway).

Image copyright problem with Image:RAM band Haiti 0001.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RAM band Haiti 0001.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 15:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Haitian / Haïtian

Hey there, was just wondering about your addition of the diaeresis to the title of Haïtian Creole language. In general I support the usage of diacritical marks in foreign proper names, but this one seems a little incorrect to me. I've never seen the diaeresis used in the words 'Haitian' and 'Haiti' in English, and besides, it's present in the French word haïtien because the a and ï are meant to be pronounced as two distinct vowels. In English, however, the ai in Haitian is actually pronounced as one diphthong. Additionally, if you search 'Haïtian' in the English language Google search engine, all of the results on the first several pages omit the diaeresis. Perhaps you could share your reasoning for this change on the talk page? Thanks!  :: Salvo (talk) 20:37, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I reverted your changes on 2004 Haiti rebellion. The style on the English Wikipedia is that we use the name most common in English, which is "Haiti." "Haïti" is a French name, and is much more appropriate for the French Wikipedia. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 17:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Harkers Canyon (Tooele County, Utah)

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Harkers Canyon (Tooele County, Utah), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. 172.129.243.182 23:11, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Silent Key

Hi Kharker, absent of any attempts to source the article or establish the content as significant, I've redirected it to the parent. Please source the material and establish the notability of the term if you wish to restore or merge the content. From what I can gather this is effectively a form of radio slang, and therefore should be held to the same standards as spoken slang, i.e. existence or acceptance among a small group does not necessarily qualify it as suitable for Wikipedia. If there are reliable sources which show the term is notable, widely used etc., I'm all for it. Deiz talk 15:14, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Iaru logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Iaru logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Phi_tau.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Phi_tau.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 15:34, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of "Mauritius Amateur Radio Society"

A page you created, Mauritius Amateur Radio Society, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

License tagging for File:Marl logo.png

Thanks for uploading File:Marl logo.png. 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) 16:07, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Non-article Amateur radio pages

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Non-article Amateur radio pages, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Non-article Amateur radio pages has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Non-article Amateur radio pages, 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.

No spam

I feel a little shocked by your undoing my contrib as 'spam' on the Paso Robles AVA article. I put a link to Vinismo on the Paso Robles AVA article because it contains more information on the topic. Putting a link to a page containing different or less exhaustive information could be considered as abusive external linking but I don't think that was the case here. Nikolai35 (talk) 19:13, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Am I worthy of a reply, Sir? Nikolai35 (talk) 00:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey I'm a user of vinismo.com and i concur its not spam, but a pretty well done wine wiki --Katerg (talk) 09:30, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I have responded to Nikolai35. The link in question falls into the category of links to avoid in the Wikipedia guidelines on external links.--Kharker (talk) 19:15, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Amateur radio direction finding

Hi, I have been reviewing Amateur radio direction finding and almost all the links to the reference citations are dead. Do you have published book sources that you can substitute? Or are they other sources on the web? Regards, —Mattisse (Talk) 23:04, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of RAm (band)

A tag has been placed on RAm (band) 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics.

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.

Proposed deletion of Ram (band)

The article Ram (band) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable band: fails WP:BAND, having only released one album on a major label. I am unable to find any non-trivial references to it 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. Robofish (talk) 14:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
