European Democratic Party

Hey thanks for changing the flag to Basque Country. I tried {{BASQUE}} but that didn't work and before I could think of another one the phone rang and....well got distracted and rushed. So thanks for correcting it =) doktorb _words^deeds 19:37, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New userboxes ...

I have deleted a userbox template you recently created, as userboxes should no longer be created in templatespace per the terms of the German userbox solution. Here is the userbox code so that you can recreate the userbox in your userspace ("userfying") if you wish.

<div style="float: left; border:solid green 1px; margin: 1px;">
{| cellspacing="0" style="width: 238px; background: lightgreen;"
| style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: green; text-align: center; font-size: {{{5|{{{id-s|14}}}}}}pt; color: {{{id-fc|black}}};" | '''[[Image:Flag of Galicia.svg|40px]]'''

Galicia

Hi Norrin,

...moved Galicia (autonomous community) to Galicia (Iberian Peninsula): The other title isn't neutral.

Per the talk page section, I hadn't thought of "Galicia (Iberian Peninsula)", so thank you for this suggestion! (Perhaps "Peninsula" needs to be "peninsula"...?) However, I'd like to understand in what way you feel "autonomous community" isn't neutral; other similar articles use this disambiguation (as mentioned in the talk page section), so "Galicia (Iberian P/peninsula)" continues to differ from them. Thanks in advance for enlightenment, David Kernow 13:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think that autonomous community isn't neutral 'cos there are people that says that Galicia isn't Spain. Some people think that Galicia is like the Sahara, a [territory occupied by another state]... However, everybody knows that Galicia is in the Iberian peninsula. Sorry for my [E]nglish, I'm from Galicia.

Thanks for your reply – I wasn't aware that some Galicians regard or wish Galicia to be independent of Spain. Intriguingly, the "Basque Country" is still disambiguated as Basque Country (autonomous community). Would renaming Galicia (Iberian Peninsula) to Galicia (Iberia) be okay? Re your English, it's very good – the portions in square brackets above are the only changes I'd make. Yours, David 13:02, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, put it into Galicia(Iberia)...You talk about the Basque Country...well, it's different: the historical Basque Country/Euskal Herria it's different than the Autonomous Comunnity of the Basque Country, and in the Galician wikipedia we put: Basque Autonomous Comunnity (Comunidade Autónoma Vaca) and Basque Country (País Vasco).--Norrin_strange (Talk) 10:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Have moved page to Galicia (Iberia) – thanks for a little more insight into this area! Best wishes, David 02:58, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Esquerda unida logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Esquerda unida logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 20:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Esquerda unida logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Esquerda unida logo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 20:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand ^{(talk • contribs • Bot)} 20:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Esquerda unida logo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Esquerda unida logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Norrin strange! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 139 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Carlos Morais Alvares - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Ánxela Bugallo - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ánxela Bugallo

A tag has been placed on Ánxela Bugallo 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 person or group of people, 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 biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 Galicia in the 20th century

The article Galicia in the 20th century has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

My initial concern with this article was the urgent requirement for copy editing for comprehensibility but I see from talk that this has already been rejected, in 2011, as pointless, unless and until it is referenced. Nothing has changed in the interim, so it should now go.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

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