Image:DSC01122.JPG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:DSC01122.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Go to Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion#June_20 and find the listing for your image. The reason for deletion says OR which is an abbreviation for Orphan. Wikipedia policy at WP:ISNOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links.2C_images.2C_or_media_files states that images must be presented in an encyclopedic context, which an orphan image is not. So you need to add the image to a Wikipedia article for it to remain on Wikipedia. An alternative is to upload the image to Wikimedia Commons. If you upload to the Commons, I recommend using a more descriptive name. Hope this helps -Nv8200p talk 23:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Redirection

When you type your search word into the search box, click Go and it takes you to a search reply page. It will say at the top "No page with that title exists.", then a line that says "You can create this article or request it. Click on the link "create this article". It takes you to a page with the Search entry as the article title. In the edit box type #REDIRECT [[article name]] and Save page. That will do it. I set up embden to redirect to Embden, Maine already. Click -> embden and see. Under the article title where it says Redirected from Embden. Click there to take you to the redirecting page and you can see what I did. -Nv8200p talk 01:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Johann Pachelbel

Hello! Please do not add that particular image to the article. We've had a discussion about it at the article's talk page; there is no proof that the image is of Pachelbel (the date says 1748, while he died in 1706; the text goes "Johann Christoph Pachelbel" while he didn't have a middle name, etc.). By all means do re-add it if you can cite a source that lists this particular image as an authentic portrait; otherwise please don't :) Jashiin 08:15, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aluko's nationality

Hello, and thanks for asking. The history of the lead of this article went as follows: Up until he played for Nigeria, the opening sentence did read "is an English footballer". Once he played for them, it was changed to the rather messy form "is an English-born Nigerian international footballer", and then, to fit in with the relevant bit of the Manual of Style, that says "previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the opening sentence unless they are relevant to the subject's notability", changed again some five years ago to the current form, which has been stable ever since, with no nationality in the opening sentence but with his birthplace and change of international representation simply explained lower down the lead section.

The point is, if a subject is born in Fooland, and their only nationality and citizenship is of Fooland, and they've only ever represented Fooland at football, then there's no problem with declaring them in the opening sentence to be a Foolandish footballer. However, Mr Aluko was born in England and represented England at youth level, but later chose to represent Nigeria at full international level, so it'd be misleading to the reader to declare him unequivocally English. He's British by birth-nationality, "English" by youth-representation and "Nigerian" by senior-representation. It'd be just as accurate and just as misleading to declare him Nigerian, as people have tried to in the past and which has also been reverted, e.g. here.

Hope this clarifies the matter. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 13:51, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Kolarov picture

Please look at this picture, as you can see it is a copyrighted UEFA-sanctioned picture, from 2011 (so in fact it is older than the picture you reverted).

Hi, gossamers if you could be so kind, can you toss in a small edit summary when you edit?

Reverted you as you may know, what in the world was that meant to be? Doug Weller (talk) 20:35, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, total mistake. I was trying to fix the formatting mistake (an unnecessary space between the 2015 population estimate and the reference) by doing control+f to find the population section (hence the "pop"), and must have accidentally typed that without noticing it when I did the control+f. I will now fix the original formatting error that you also can see in your reversion. Thanks!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Nominative determinism

Thank you for getting involved in the nominative determinism article. You mentioned with your edit of the lead where you removed the Splatt & Weedon example "Humourous but not necessary or appropriate." What do you think if we replace the Trench example in the next sentence with Splatt & Weedon? I think the Splatt & Weedon example is so often referenced, in the various news articles, that it probably should be in the lead. Being a double case it's also stronger than Trench. So it could be something like this:

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their name. The term nominative determinism was first used in the popular science magazine New Scientist in 1994, after a series of observations of recent studies done by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames, including a book on polar explorations by Daniel Snowman and a urology article by Splatt and Weedon, raised suspicion of the existence of a psychological effect.

Professional footballer

Once again, can someone please add the word professional in front of footballer in the main page of Cristiano Ronaldo. It now reads: Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, ComM, GOIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɾiʃ'tjɐnu ʁuˈnaɫdu], born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese footballer for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Portugal national team. It should read: Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, ComM, GOIH (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɾiʃ'tjɐnu ʁuˈnaɫdu], born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Portugal national team.

It was there before and it was removed, which is not consistent with other players wiki pages. Here are some to name a few:

Lionel Messi: Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi[note 1] (Spanish pronunciation: [ljoˈnel anˈdɾes ˈmesi] ( listen); born 24 June 1987) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the Argentina national team.

Sergio Ramos: Sergio Ramos García (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈserxjo ˈramos ɣarˈθi.a]; born 30 March 1986) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for and captains both, Real Madrid and the Spain national football team.

Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior (Portuguese pronunciation: [nejˈmaʁ dɐ ˈsiwvɐ ˈsɐ̃tus ˈʒũɲoʁ]; born 5 February 1992), commonly known as Neymar or Neymar Jr., is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Spanish club FC Barcelona and the Brazil national team.

All these contain the word "professional" in front of footballer. Please someone add that word. I wish I could do it but I am new to Wikipedia and don't have the authority to do so.

Defining and non-defining relative clauses

Hi. A non-defining relative clause is used to add information that is not essential to know who or what is being spoken about. Let's say I have two brothers. 'My brother who is an EFL teacher is 35.' 'My brother who is a fireman is 32'. You need the information 'who is a fireman' to know which brother I am referring to. Now let's assume I have one brother. 'My brother, who is an EFL teacher, is 35.' Seeing as I only have one, the information 'My brother', is sufficient to understand who is being referred to. The information as to his career is additional, non-essential information. So a non-defining relative clause, which is separated by commas, is used. Michael Bisping is an actor and mixed martial artist. That is enough to define who we are speaking about. The fact that he competed in the UFC is not essential information. It would be if there were another Michael Bisping who were an actor and martial artist who didn't compete in the UFC middleweight division. In order for you to be right you would need to point out that another man with the same name and jobs existed who did NOT compete in the UFC middleweight division, which would make the fact that this Michael Bisping did essential. I teach this stuff every day. It is not a grammatical error. Please don't revert again without discussion. NEDOCHAN (talk) 12:06, 10 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Prodigy Education (November 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SL93 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Prodigy Education and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Prodigy Education, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
