Thanks all the best to you too. Kyriakos (talk) 20:07, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

request for feedback

Hello! As a fellow Pakistani wikipedian, I would appreciate it if you could provide feedback here for the article, Assassination of Benazir Bhutto, which is currently a featured article candidate. I have worked to improve it and would benefit form your input. If you find the article meets FA criteria, then a statement of support would be appreciated on the nomination page.

Cheers --Zaindy87 (talk) 00:54, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan

I am about to start work on this article, and would like to invite you to collaborate with me on this article to bring it upto FA status. If you are interested in working on this article, please let me know and we can work out a strategy to find sources and work out which FA article to emulate. I think there should be donzes of sources for Ustad Nusrat, and it will be a rewarding experience to bring this great man's page to FA status. --Zaindy٨٧ 09:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Risalpur Runway.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. VegitaU (talk) 20:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for rating Alden Partridge

I'm taking my time building this page, and I have zero issue with your overall assessment (I think whole assessment drive a very exciting and positive thing), but if you don't mind, I'd like to query your rationale. In my mind, the article fails B-class only in the arena of coverage. I see adequate and verifiable citation, and I see adequate structure. I have no images (and it may be tricky getting them). I've waited to put in the three most controversial sections (his discharge from West Point, his fierce opposition to national institutions like West Point, and his portrayal in history) until I've built a suitable framework to avoid disputes. I'm not there yet. Please advise me as to how to improve structure and citation. Thanks! BusterD (talk) 15:00, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

I would also like to ask that question? What is wrong with the structure or references?Harland1 (t/c) 19:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)
My reply is here --SMS Talk 06:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
On consideration, I think you explained yourself perfectly and I agree with your assessment. I'll invite you back when I'm ready for my first serious B-class consideration. Thanks again for caring about the page. BusterD (talk) 14:12, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

User page

User pages are licensed under GFDL, so strictly speaking there should be an acknowledgement for copying. It looks different now. As ever, first stage to resolve a problem is to point it out politely to the other user. If no joy, report to WP:AN/I. Ty 16:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, unless GFDL requirements are followed (in this case the one for attribution) it is a copyvio. Ty 20:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the main problem is the inaccurate information/links to your contributions etc. That needs to be sorted. Ty 21:31, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Third opinion

The ip had a rationale, he was reverting a sockpuppet of a banned user, it is obvious as the user User:Gregs the baker attempted to solve the geordie dispute and got banned for sockpuppetry, see Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Gregs the baker‎, and his new account User:Waterwater212‎ is attempting to solve the same dispute claiming to be a "new user", since when did new users jump into solving wikipedia disputes and knowing exactly what the dispute was?. Dr Nat (talk) 20:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

But he is a sockpuppet of User:Gregs the baker who was blocked for edit warring on this topic last month, it is unfair to let the sock get the upper hand in the case. The user needs to be blocked. Dr Nat (talk) 21:19, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok there is a checkuser case up and waiting to be confirmed, I will wait until that is don, but please consider, "do brand new accounts jump into an editing dispute and say exactly the same stuff as a now blocked editor did? does a brand new account know what a dispute is? does a brand new account know the whole argument exactly?" the answer is no, and there is a report at WP:AIV that is being ignored. Dr Nat (talk) 21:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I will leave it until the checkuser case is completed, as the previous socks (who have the exact same editing style) were confirmed, this one should be in due course. You have been a very helpful wikipedian. Dr Nat (talk) 21:41, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

CompraoAlquila entry

Hello:

Just wanted to touch base in regards to the CompraoAlquila entry. Thanks for updating to "middle of expansion" we just want to have the same "fact sheet documentation" similar to those of Zillow and Trulia, so we'll be working on it throughout the week.

If you do a Google search, you'll notice that the portal already has high search engine visibility in the main terms: 

- bienes raices puerto rico
- compra casa puerto rico
- compraoalquila

60% of our traffic is search engine based, so the need to advertise is not a reason for the Wiki post...

If you have any suggestions or points to outline for us, they'll be very much appreciated...

Thanks,

Lucia Mauro entry

Media:Lucia Mauro

I have been researching this arts writer for nearly 18 months. She appears regularly opening dance and arts events at the big venues in Chicago and New York and her dance and theater reviews are followed closely in the Chicago Tribune by audiences nationwide. Mauro's arts related books are published by McGraw Hill. I have been able to cobble together bits and pieces of both her professional and personal life and have outlined it here on Wikipedia for those who follow her work and are interested in more information about her. I have a list of many published articles and books I will be adding to this entry. Perhaps I went about posting my entry incorrectly.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoomer1 (talk • contribs) 03:31, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

The article is an advertisement for Mauro and her work. As you have spotted, it is in fact a copy of her own website/self-advertsement. As to the notification to the author, I was under the impression that bots did that automatically nowadays. If this is not the case, I stand reproved, and will resume hand-notifying when I nominate. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:13, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
