Speedy deletion for orphaned non-free images

Hello, Valepert. I noticed you tagged Image:WeavileSprite.gif and several similar images for speedy deletion with the explanation that it is an orphaned non-free image. The correct procedure to follow in cases like this is to put {{subst:orfud}} on the image description page, and then to notify the uploader of the image with {{subst:orphaned|Image:ImageName.ext}} ~~~~ on their talk page. This will alert the uploader that the image is not used, and will allow seven days to correct the problem if the image was mistakenly removed from an article. If at the end of a week the image is still an orphan, then it is eligible for speedy deletion under CSD I5. Please let me know if you have any questions. —Bkell (talk) 19:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing my reference on Lehmann Brothers

I changed a bare link to an embedded link and was groping my way to learning how to turn it into a proper reference. But you beat me to it. Lehman Brothers. Thanks. Interlingua 14:03, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Credo Reference Update & Survey (your opinion requested)

Credo Reference, who generously donated 400 free Credo 250 research accounts to Wikipedia editors over the past two years, has offered to expand the program to include 100 additional reference resources. Credo wants Wikipedia editors to select which resources they want most. So, we put together a quick survey to do that:

Link to Survey (should take between 5-10 minutes): http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/N8FQ6MM

It also asks some basic questions about what you like about the Credo program and what you might want to improve.

At this time only the initial 400 editors have accounts, but even if you do not have an account, you still might want to weigh in on which resources would be most valuable for the community (for example, through WikiProject Resource Exchange).

Also, if you have an account but no longer want to use it, please leave me a note so another editor can take your spot.

If you have any other questions or comments, drop by my talk page or email me at wikiocaasi@yahoo.com. Cheers! Ocaasi^{t | c} 17:36, 11 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another Jorgensen request

Asking about this again:

What criteria need to be met for Jorgensen's image to be added to the page?

Are the criteria for her image to be added achievable within a specific timeframe?

Gary Johnson's 2016 statistics seem to be a large reason why Jorgensen isn't being added, perhaps even the sole reason: is there anything that could override this in the near future?

Is the decision to keep Jorgensen's photograph away from Biden/Trump something that may change under certain circumstances?

I understand that Kanye has been added a few times and then taken down, and I appreciate the consistency shown by keeping his image off especially when his announcement was likely trolling to promote merchandise.

Any information helps. Billbrandy (talk) 12:38, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Also, is there a way that perhaps the authorized editors of this page could vote on the decision to add her's and perhaps Howie's image next to Biden and Trump?

Thanks for your time Billbrandy (talk) 12:41, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

sorry, why "again"? we never spoken before and I'm not interest to the topic (I only reverted a vandalism in a popular page). --valepert (talk) 18:57, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blocco utenza in it.wiki

Ciao, guarda, a questo punto andrebbero bloccati tutti quelli che inseriscono gli esclusi nelle pagine dei festival? Ti scrivo qui avendo le mail bloccate, capisco anche che il blocco arriva dopo numerosi avvisi e so bene che non lo hai fatto per punizione, ma fatto in questa maniera mi sembra un pò come un'ingiustizia, dal momento che non si trattava di un palese vandalismo. Ti consiglio di andarci piano, perchè altrimenti diversi utenti si sentiranno aggrediti dal ritrovarsi bloccati per delle sciocchezze.--Potenza2021 (talk) 19:12, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

rispondo qua una volta e poi basta: se io alle 18:45 elimino un listone di cantanti SENZA FONTI dall'edizione 2022 e dalle 19:43 alle 19:56 un utente, che è già stato avvisato, cartellinato, bloccato su diversi namespace, decide di inserire un wikilink a raffica fregandosene di inserire le fonti, non mi interessa se si sente aggredito o ritiene sia un'ingiustizia, io penso mi sta evidentemente prendendo in giro. --valepert (talk) 19:21, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ti ringrazio del chiarimento e non mi sento più aggredito, anzi, capisco meglio le motivazioni ed ora mi sono chiare. Ciao--Potenza2021 (talk) 19:24, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Penrose stairs / Statement to deleted contributions

Hello, I accept, that you are not liking my contributions that you deleted. However I take the right to say my opinion here: My contributions were essential to the subject, and I don't deserve to get a simple statement from you like "spam" as a reason for deleting them. From an experienced an well-etablished Wiki-user like you I expect at least a whole sentence or a reference statement to a particular Wikipedia-rule that you think my contribution is interfering with. Furthermore, I won't care what you'll respond to this post, because I already lost my interest in doing contributions that are not welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by W2357 (talk • contribs) 11:42, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
