Proposed deletion of Janko.at
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Janko.at, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- A non-sourcescited.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the
Articles for deletion nomination of Janko.at
Please stop adding the huge list of non-notable people to
Categories and interwiki links
Howdy, I already explained at Talk:Janko.at the mistake. A wikipedia article about the book "Of Mice and Men" should be in the category "Novels by John Steinbeck" or "1937 Novels", not "Agriculture" or "Rabbits" though the book itself describes such topics. The category system is meant to categorize wikipedia articles, not the contents or related items mentioned by the subject of the article. Adding those categories is disrupting other English wikipedia projects.
- Please remove them.
Interwiki links are used to link translations of wikipedia articles in other languages. They are not meant to be used to link related topics in other languages. Adding the interwiki links you added will not only disrupt the English wikipedia but the 40 or 50 other wikipedias that you created false and misleading links to.
- Please remove them.
Generally speaking it is best to leave the technical details up to experienced wikipedians and concentrate on providing content and addressing the core concerns of wikipedia (such as providing wp:reliable sources so the article will not be deleted). Also when someone corrects your mistake twice and even leaves a note on the talk page explaining the matter, it is considered a bit rude to revert them a second time.

[ ₪]
The symbol " ₪ " will act as a link to Alexa's page on that particular website.
Why Janko.at is better than Nikoli:
| Judging Parameters ₪ | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Traffic Rank | 159,049 | 484,013 | 620,138 |
| Speed | 0.681 sec (10% of sites are faster) |
3.751 sec (72% of sites are faster) |
0.526 sec (6% of sites are faster) |
| Sites Linking In | 251 | 40 | 211 |
| 3 Month Avg pageviews/user | 5.2 | 4 | 2.5 |
Janko.at has more puzzles than both Nikoli's combined (even if the two sites have completely different puzzles) and they are all free.
The only real difference between Janko.at and Nikoli is that one is a "personal" page and one a "professional" page. Being the official page of a company is the only thing Nikoli has over Janko.at.
Janko.at is more popular, faster, and has more puzzles. Both sites are equally informative with their puzzles, having rules, explanations, and guides for each type, but Janko.at has exponentially more puzzle types and more puzzles for each type, and does not try to sell you anything.
If you halved the amount of traffic Janko.at recieved, it would still be more than what Nikoli gets because you can only play the same 10 example puzzles so many times.
I'm not even sure that Nikoli.co.jp has any puzzles and if it does they aren't easy to find
My point is, if Janko.at is not notable and worthy enough to meet Wiki's standards, than neither is Nikoli. Since Nikoli is a crappy free puzzle site, if it wasn't an official site of a company then it would not meet Wiki standards, but Janko.at, which excels Nikoli in every way is Wiki worthy.
P.S. to Dreamguy
Nikoli owns most of the puzzles it publishes but I seriously doubt that they actually created most of them "in the first place".
Encyclopedias are FULL of things that I, not only never heard of, but never even DREAMED could exist. So how can Wikipedians reject something just because it is relatively unknown. It would be unexcuseably egotistical to say that because something is not commonly known it is unimportant.
It can not be denied that with Janko.at containing so many different puzzle types (many of which are VERY popular), and with me putting those puzzle names on the Janko.at’s Wikipedia page, a lot of traffic will be directed to Janko.at’s Wiki page and from there will be directed to Janko.at itself, which WILL make it notable by anyone's standards.
PROOF: A few days ago when I first began my Janko.at article, the "site access counter" said 1,768,792. This morning that same counter said 1,769,748, a traffic increase of nearly 1000. As I write this the counter says 1,769,985, more than 200 more visitors. I don't believe that all the traffic was because of me, but it is a coincidence that supports my claim.

File source problem with File:11 30 2009 receipt.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:11 30 2009 receipt.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on
November 2010
In a recent edit to the page Light, you changed one or more words from one international variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.
For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author used.
In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. Hertz1888 (talk) 23:55, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. What you described on my talk page would be what we call
- Some people refer to breeds other that English Mastiff as "Mastiff".
- This is erroneous.

Canid genetics
Your recent uncited addition to Canid hybrid leaves the article contradicting itself and incoherent. If that is not the reason a fox/wolf hybrids and so on are impossible, what is the reason? It says the reason they can't interbreed successfully is that they have different numbers of genes arranged differently. Then the paragraph ends and you have a new paragraph say that having different numbers of genes arranged differently is no obstacle to successful reproduction, so the reader should ignore the preceding paragraph. As such, it is not clear that your last edit constitutes article improvement. Perhaps it would have been better to post that to the talk page so that we can get this straight and work it in so the article makes sense. Chrisrus (talk) 16:14, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Gatorgirl -- I had my attention drawn to this article, which you edited quite a bit a few months ago. It looks to me like most of your edits are good stuff, but there are a couple of sections that seem more essayish than encyclopedic in tone. In particular the section on Mind-body correlation reads more like a magazine article than an encyclopedia article, and also doesn't cite any sources. Would you mind if I trim the article down a bit (which, to be completely clear, means that I would probably get rid of that section)? Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:08, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Asian black bear, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Provocation.
