User talk:Sturm
Greetings!
My name is Ryan, and it's my pleasure to welcome you, Sturm, to Wikipedia! First of all, I'd like to thank you for joining the project, and contributing to articles and discussion. I hope you can continue to take part in Wikipedia, because we need more valuable editors like yourself.
If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia are the primary goals and most important rules that we follow.
- These help pages are important if you'd like to learn more about specific processes.
- The tutorial is a hands-on approach to learning all about editing.
- For a "crash course" in editing, head on over to Redwolf24's Bootcamp!
- Writing a great article is a noble accomplishment. An article you start might end up on the Main Page!
- The Manual of style is an in-depth group of pages that will teach you how to make articles look their very best.
I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing! --King of All the Franks 20:46, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
- Please don't up-load and use copyrighted images.
- If there is any genuine (encyclopædic) information on this woman, please add it; some reputable source for the description "supermodel" would also be welcome. At the moment, there is nothing in the article to indicate her significance, and it could therefore be deleted without warning. I'm holding off for the moment, but if something that she's done or been isn't added soon, the article will probably go. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:39, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
"Fair use" is fairly narrowly defined; the image that you up-loaded seemed to have been copyrighted, and didn't meet normal fair-use criteria (and you didn't gve an explanation of its fair-use status).
The problem with the article is that just being a model isn't usually enough to warrant an article in an encyclopædia (there are hundreds of thousands of models). Calling her a supermodel wouldn't be enough either, but there's in fact no evidence that she is one; the links were to two pages of photographs of her, and didn't establish anything. Is there anything that she's achieved – prizes or awards, etc. – that could justify the article? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Rodan of Alexandria
[edit]Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your creation of the article, Rodan of Alexandria, but we cannot accept copyrighted text borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Please see Wikipedia:Copyright problems for more information on this topic, or generally, Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines. Please do not remove the copyright violation notice placed in the article or repost the suspected infringing text. However, if you would like to rewrite the article in your own words, follow the link in the posted notice to create a temporary subpage. If your new article is appropriate, and not a further copyright violation, the reviewing administrator will move that new article into place once the copyright status of the original has been resolved. Happy editing! Instance 04:20, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
List of companies that do animal testing
[edit]Hello, concerning your contribution, List of companies that do animal testing, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a direct copy from http://www.caringconsumer.com/pdfs/companiesDoTest.doc. As a copyright violation, List of companies that do animal testing appears to qualify for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. List of companies that do animal testing has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message. If the source is a credible one, please consider rewriting the content and citing the source.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GFDL, you can comment to that effect on Talk:List of companies that do animal testing. If the article has already been deleted, but you have a proper release, you can reenter the content at List of companies that do animal testing, after describing the release on the talk page. However, you may want to consider rewriting the content in your own words. Thank you, and please feel free to continue contributing to Wikipedia.
All that notwithstanding, your source is PETA, which is not reliable with regards to information on each of the companies listed. Finally, please read WP:NOT - Wikipedia is not a directory. Thanks. Rockpocket 02:24, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
- You make a fair point, but cutting and pasting content is not allowed, at the very least make some sort of effort to make it look as if you wrote the list. More importantly, if you want to claim companies test on animals, your need a reliable source for each one, which you must cite. Taking PETA's word for it violates WP:NPOV. Rockpocket 10:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
Persistant copyright violation
[edit]Please do not post copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. See Wikipedia:Copyrights. Copyright violations are unacceptable and persistent violators will be blocked. Your original contributions are welcome. Rockpocket 02:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
Allan Teger
[edit]I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Allan Teger, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (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. 172.145.204.130 14:45, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Fortress (1986 film), by Tiptoety, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Fortress (1986 film) fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Fortress (1986 film), 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. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Fortress (1986 film) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 04:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on C,mm,n, by Agamemnon2 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because C,mm,n seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting C,mm,n, 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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hares.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Hares.jpg. 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) 23:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit]Acaso foi você quem apagou meu comentário sobre o Tarso Genro na página de discussão ? Apagar comentário na discussão, e o meu foi bastante educado, é no mínimo censura.
Isso para não dizer o que realmente é: uma grotesca canalhice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.79.194.155 (talk) 07:39, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Secondary stress
[edit]FYI, removing your links at secondary stress from 2006. The html is bad, and not in the archives, and the PDF is corrupt and not readable. kwami (talk) 18:52, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Opportunity Asset Management
[edit]A tag has been placed on Opportunity Asset Management 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 company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.
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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Non-dropframe (talk) 03:18, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Romero Rodrigues
[edit]A reference was added here but because the editor also added a Twitter link a bot reverted it. The article was corrected again here. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 04:29, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification
[edit]Hi. When you recently edited List of video game console emulators, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PGM (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

The article Sweet Home 3D has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Appears non-notable. Certainly does not sufficiently assert notability: no third-party reliable sources are present.
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 {{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. — This, that, and the other (talk) 05:39, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution
[edit]Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from 0 A.D. (video game) to Pyrogenesis (your addition has since been removed). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. If you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:03, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
Medals etc. of Brazil
[edit]Hey Strum, I noticed that you moved Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Brazil and got rid of the Oxford comma. I was just curious if you were doing that of your own volition or if there was a consensus to it (I know how contentious the Oxford comma can be), and if you were planning on moving all the other medals categories to match. Thanks! spiderjerky (talk) 22:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Spiderjerky: Sorry, my mistake. Didn't know about "serial comma" in English... But I am unable to undo that. Can you help me? Sturm (talk) 22:09, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Sturm: No worries. I'll see what I can do. spiderjerky (talk) 22:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- {@Sturm: I'm having some software difficulties with the move as well, in addition to moving the page to a third page with a comma after "and" because I've been editing for like five hours straight and my brain is fried. I think this is the job for an administrator. spiderjerky (talk) 22:16, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
- @Sturm: No worries. I'll see what I can do. spiderjerky (talk) 22:11, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
Francisco Lopes
[edit]You should not have moved the page Francisco Lopes to another title, since there was no other exact match in English-language Wikipedia. --B.Lameira (talk) 18:52, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
- If you wanted to create a disambiguation page you should have created it with the title Francisco Lopes (disambiguation), for example. --B.Lameira (talk) 18:55, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Atenção usuários da Wikipédia
[edit]Quero uma arbitragem nesta questão. Usuário Chronus afirma que eu o insultei. Onde e quando ocorreu isso? Apenas disse que ele está promovendo uma perseguição às minhas edições e isto É VERDADE, E QUE ISTO PARECE PESSOAL, o que eu também acredito./ O usuário apagou todas minhas mensagens dirigidas a ele. Insiste em apagar minhas edições, e afirma que estou promovendo uma guerra de edições contra ele. Solicito a arbitragem de um editor sênior para confirmar suas alegações.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sweet Home 3D
[edit]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 Sweet Home 3D requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://itunes.apple.com/il/app/sweet-home-3d/id669289700?mt=12. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
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 deleted 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.

[edit]Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. To help yourself remember, you may wish to check the "prompt me when entering a blank edit summary" box in your preferences. Thanks! Liz Read! Talk! 01:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, Sturm,
- You do a lot of page moves but you don't provide any explanation on why you are moving a page or article to a different title. Moves like this are more likely to be reverted because you have left no explanation on why your page move is an improvement. There are preselected edit summaries you can use that cover a lot of situations or write in your own, specific rationale. Please do so in the future. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 01:08, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
