Disambiguation link notification for March 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Gérard Lhéritier, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nancy. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Stamp Paper of British India/Pakistan
Hi, I was hoping you could help me with a question related to stamp paper of British India/Pakistan. Do you know the reasons behind why the paper had such intricate designs? Was it due to security reasons or were there other reasons? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Rzafar (talk) 18:25, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
- It was just for security reasons. The more intricate the design the harder it is to forge. (Same with banknotes) Philafrenzy (talk) 21:16, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Peter Wende
Was looking over the shortest bios and one you made was Peter Wende. It says that he is German on here, but looking at the German wiki it says he was born in Athens, wanted to point this out, so I guess maybe it should say something like "a Greek born, German" or something. Wgolf (talk) 17:58, 22 April 2016 (UTC)
- They say he is a "deutscher Historiker" born in Athens. So born in Greece but German it seems. Philafrenzy (talk) 18:25, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Individual Chief Cashiers of the Bank of England
I read the Chief Cashier of the Bank of England page. Most of individual beings do not seem to be very notable. Shall I tag most of the biographies for deletion? --George Ho (talk) 19:22, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think about half of them have been expanded but the other half are still one line articles. It's one of the senior positions in the bank and British banknotes are all signed by the chief cashier. I am sure that they are all more than capable of expansion in order to meet the notability requirement. Instead of tagging them, why don't you research them and expand the articles?

Jewish News
I am trying to update information on my company - you have removed a lot of the content I added stating it is advertising. How is information on the content included on my website advertising? Or information on a show we run each year (the Ideal Home show has a page - why can't we have a section on our page? Or the section on the Conference we ran in Parliament. This is all key information on our company and I'd like it to show on our wiki page.
(217.138.114.74 (talk) 12:05, 6 May 2016 (UTC))
- I put the conference back in. You need to add a source there. The wedding fair is out as trivia and advertising of an event which is not what we are here for. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:17, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
I'm not sure what the proper method of replying is so I've clicked 'edit' on the comment - is that right? Maybe the info on the wedding show was a bit promo-y but its a key bit of info on the company that they have run an annual Wedding and Bar/Batmitzvah show in North London since 2007. Also I would argue the same for the fact that the website was completely redesigned in 2016 (by RGB Media) marking a global digital partnership with The Times of Israel. And the same again for listing the content included on the website - I've looked on the Daily Mail's page for example and they have a 'Supplements and Features' section which describes the contents of some of their products. Finally, for the citation on the Policy conference, can it be a link from the jewish news' own website? (217.138.114.74 (talk) 12:30, 6 May 2016 (UTC))
- Its changed from "my" to "they" I see. Try to see it from the point of view of the average Wikipedia reader and stick to the important stuff. Ideally we would have independent sources for everything in an article. Was the conference/website discussed in other publications? Those are the sources you should use for the article. I have left you a table of links on the other page so you may learn about our policies. Philafrenzy (talk) 12:37, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
My/they - what does it matter? I didn't know until today about the COI policies which is why I'm messaging you to include things. I believe that something that has taken place every year for the past 10 years, and is a huge part of what the company does, is pretty important and would be relevant for the average wikipedia user that is looking for information on the/my company. The same for a digital partnership with one of the biggest Jewish media companies in the world and for information on the content that is available online. To that last point - why can the Daily Mail include information on the content of some of their products and not the Jewish News? (217.138.114.74 (talk) 12:48, 6 May 2016 (UTC))

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sally Brampton.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Sally Brampton.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thryduulf (talk) 16:49, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
I notice that the source was Russian. Can you give us a link to the source that contains the image without making the image stand alone? By the way, I created screenshots of this person, so I'm going to replace this image soon. --George Ho (talk) 00:47, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Already replaced it with this screenshot. Do you allow the change? --George Ho (talk) 01:03, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- I don't understand why you did this. Your replacement is also non-free and not a better picture. Please explain. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:00, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- TheRamblingMan couldn't approve the article because of this photo. Fortunately, I found the original source, Psychologies. I wonder whether the image meets the NFC criteria, which include respecting the image's original intent. The image has been used in multiple issues of the magazine because she wrote for the publication. George Ho (talk) 15:24, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- Since she is dead, the original market role of the picture no longer exists as she will not be writing any more columns, will she? Philafrenzy (talk) 17:31, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
- I do not believe that it is possible for this image to meet the NFC criteria and so I have formally disputed the non-free use rationale (template added below as well in case it adds anything useful). Thryduulf (talk) 16:49, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Construction History Society
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Construction History Society 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. --Iamozy (talk) 11:44, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
Nomination of Construction History Society for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Construction History Society is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Question about undo of "Sex_shop"
Hi Philafrenzy, can you please explain why you undid my edits to Sex Shop? I am providing a reliable source (from the picture itself), and if you can provide me with at least any other sex shop in the world that sells CP I would see why you undid it. Am I perhaps breaking any rule on Wikipedia by mentioning the word CP or something? -- Kirill2485
- I think they would have been closed down a long time ago if they were really selling what you think they are selling. I suspect that the shop (which I have never been in - I was just photographing the area) mean corporal punishment as the words Fetish, Femdom, and Bondage are immediately below it. In any case we need a reliable source for an assertion of the kind you have made which you do not have. The photograph is not enough. If you sincerely believe that they are breaking the law, I suggest that you contact the police, who I imagine are well aware of the shop since they have a station nearby and I am sure know all the sex shops and brothels in Soho. There are not many now, most having been closed down as the area has become too expensive for them. Philafrenzy (talk) 15:53, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tredworth Road Cemetery
The article Tredworth Road Cemetery has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Yes, it is a cemetery. And? Every village has one or more of these. What makes this one notable?
While all constructive 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{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. Fram (talk) 10:12, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Quit tag bombing. The lead is short, but already summarises her bio. If you want to add something, just add it or note what is missing. An ugly tag is no improvement. Fences&Windows 22:07, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
- One tag is not bombing. MOS:LEAD says "The lead should stand on its own as a concise overview of the article's topic." It does not do that at present. The development of a proper lead is part of the natural development of an article. Philafrenzy (talk) 22:12, 15 June 2016 (UTC)
