Thanks for the info. I've already got license agreements emailed to wikipedia but they are not being seen. what does one have to do to get wikipedia to actually acknowledge the license agreements? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calence (talk • contribs) 00:14, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

permissions pending - yes please restore the image for me!

Hi,

Thank you for being the only helpful wikipedia editor Ive ever encountered in my life! Youve been a great help. Yes please if you can restore the image so I can put the code in for the pending permissions that would be fabulous! I did send it to the correct address but on 2 of my photos i never heard back, im not sure why. It seems some of the emails get lost... I am having the photographers themselves email directly now - all the signed release forms I send get ignored except for the alien - deadly returns photo. That one was accepted, the others ignored.

Thanks for your help!!!

It's been a while since I've bugged you with a newbie problem, so I hope that you'll let me abuse your kindness again—

I've just started going through the AfD process with ESS Drum & Bugle Corps, which I strongly suspect of being a high-school prank or the like. Everything went swimmingly until I reached the step where I edited Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2012 January 4. The subclusion process seems to have done everything it should, and my suggestion appears to be in the same format as everyone else's in the edit window; but the article's title, history-link, etc., don't show up.

I experimented by moving my proposal below the top one in the list, but that didn't help at all. The only thing I can think of is that the ampersand in the title interacts strangely with the template. However, I see that an ampersand isn't on the list of forbidden characters in article titles.

Any thoughts? Guidance would be appreciated; if nothing else, could you suggest an appropriate venue at which to ask this question? Thanks (and thanks again for all the questions you've answered in the past). --Ammodramus (talk) 16:49, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks. I think you've hit on what I did wrong. Instead of clicking on the "Preloaded debate", I clicked the redlink for "this article's entry". Will try to remember that next time; maybe I should try to find some deletion-worthy articles for practice... Ammodramus (talk) 17:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

EDEX Careers looks like it got its may-not-meet-notability-guidelines template this month; would it be appropriate to propose it for deletion before giving the editor a chance to respond? I'm thinking about StealTheDeal, which looks promotional and which only cites a couple of press releases from the company itself. A Google search doesn't turn up any evidence that they've been covered by reputable media. Beside, they use "everyday" as an adverb; thus their deletion will make the world a slightly better place. Ammodramus (talk

) 00:51, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Tried it with StealTheDeal. It worked much better when I actually followed the directions... To boot, when I notified the editor who'd created the article that it'd was up at AfD, I found that it'd been deleted before and that the editor had apparently re-created it. Ammodramus (talk) 01:18, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

A file that you uploaded or altered,

I'm wondering if you can help me with something - on the page I created (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_Britton) I would like to make the headings under the musician bio appear the standard Wiki yellow and not blue. How do I do this and still maintain the form the pre-made musician box has?

Thanks for any help you can give. I didn't want to keep editing it and trying to figure it with excessive edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calence (talk • contribs) 18:40, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! I just found a wiki article. I guess the TYPE of musician indicated changes the colors automatically. Solo singer is yellow, band is blue, etc. Thanks!!! You've been most helpful. When I say that I wasn't able to get the help I need before, I meant for licensing issues - the other people have just deleted, scolded, reprimanded... not once helping me with a "how can I" attitude... which is what you have been so helpful with and clear with. Thanks for your help, very much appreciated. Happy new year! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calence (talk • contribs) 20:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

I thought you might be interested in this. It's one of two buildings left in Fairmount Park (the original site) from the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition. A contributing site to the huge NRHP Fairmount Park site. Apparently 23 companies from Ohio gave the stone for this - see e.g. "Dayton Stone" near the top of the gable. I must have another dozen on pix, but by themselves the names aren't all that interesting as pix. Any idea of what to do with this? Smallbones (talk) 01:26, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, it's only if you are interested. It was the Ohio State Pavillion at the 1876 "World's Fair". There are stone company's names engraved, e.g. from Cincinnati. I could probably get a paragraph or two from Philly sources on this. If it had any interest to Midwesterners .... Let me know if you think of anything. Smallbones (talk) 05:08, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Thank you very much you've canceled my page. You're very helpful indeed. If you knew how hard it is to create and write this page that does not promote anything that only gives information about my organization. Everywhere I went in and I closed the site because it did not match "rules". I thought that at least on the English Wikipedia will be reasonable and understanding but as I see so probably not. I will write page again please dont delete it. Please i didnt do it it again and again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheKosCzPistyTeam (talk • contribs) 14:14, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Left a note about appropriate use of user space. Acroterion (talk) 14:26, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Nyttend. I saw your edit in talk:kingdom of Sardinia, where you said that Ohio University is a reliable source. Unfortunately, the version of the page you blocked, is the version which is against Ohio University, against Britannica, against all Italian reliable sources, and supported solely by a single Sardinian-nationalist and revisionist source. Speeches in talk page are useless, because the page is affected by a small group of Sardinian nationalists who managed many times to block the page in their alternate-history version. Unfortunately, about this topic en.wikipedia will speak against all reliable sources until April 8.--Jonny Bee Goo (talk) 00:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed the file deletion related to this and this. I was trying to help, in response to this Bad GIF tag. The image enforcement practices here are pretty baffling even for experienced general editors; I would have appreciated a talk page notification.

I've just found guidance on album cover image size at

My general rule is that nonfree images that belong on just one article, such as album covers, should not be any larger than the size at which it's displayed in the article. In this situation, the larger image was problematic simply because it was larger — filetype wasn't an issue at all. I've never seen anything that would be more relevant than

On 14 January 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Pinboard (website), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the founder of Pinboard operates it by himself, although the website has 25,000 registered users?

Hello, Nyttend. You have new messages at Edgarde's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Clauses are clauses. They are not stand-alone sentences. If a sentence repeats the subject and verb after the semi-colon, then you can be absolutely certain that there is a more concise and expressive way of conveying the information. In the cases that I corrected the two sentences that had been strung together with the semi-colon had additional phrases or clauses attached. This makes the total horse-and-cart sentence extremely clumsy, indictaing that it should be split in two.

So there are two options:

• If your subject remains the same, and your verb is the same, or is at least a similar, find an appropriate verbal link.

Matthew Boulton was a patron of James Watt and commissioned a steam engine from him in the 1770s; he installed it in the Soho factory where it remained for a hundred years.

c.f.

Matthew Boulton was a patron of James Watt and, in 1770, commissioned a Steam engine to be installed in the Soho factory, where it remained for a hundred years.

• Use the present participle:

At 404 feet high, the spire is the tallest in England, the tallest 14th century structure in the world and the tallest masonry spire ever built; it surpasses the second tallest spire in the country by more than 80 feet.

How clumsy!

At 404 feet high, the spire is the tallest in England, surpassing the second tallest by more than 80 feet. It is both the tallest masonry spire ever built and the world's tallest 14th century structure.

There are correct ways to use semi-colons. They are not simply stand-ins for a full-stop and a capital letter.

• The material in the sentence is different but perfectly balanced. There may be another way of saying it, but the balance makes a point.

He likes tea; I like coffee.

• The material of the second half impacts strongly upon the information contained in the first.

The general planned the attack for dawn; the rebel troops attacked at midnight.

• The material is balanced but conflicting.

Tradition has it that the white calf is a fairy apparition; science suggests that it is the product of marsh gas.

If either sentence is long then you can be absolutely certain that the use of a semi-colon is not appropriate.

I came across this file. Yakutat is a borough, not a city-borough, despite its name of "City and Borough of Yakutat" and despite what has been inserted into article after article to the effect that it is a city-borough. Skagway is also a borough. The image is small enough to where I couldn't exactly tell whether or not you labeled it as a city-borough. Wrangell is a city-borough, but it was incorporated as such after you posted the file. Cheers.RadioKAOS (talk) 13:33, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Regarding to citation needed tags you placed on

My question is, when you have place a tag after the sentance "The most notable former player is Erik Huseklepp.", does that mean that this sentance needs a citation or that the whole section (Fyllingen Fotball) needs additional citations? But yes, you answered my question more or less :):

talk

) 03:28, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

 Done Now every sentance in the prose is backed up by a inline citation, just like in the article you showed me. But regarding "most notable former players" on Fyllingen, the source only says that Pedersen and Huseklepp are the only former Fyllingen-players to have played for the national team, not that they are the most notable ones, but I couldn't find a good way to formulate that sentance so I left it as it was. Any suggestions?

talk

) 17:58, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

The sentance is rewritten. But those three "terms" are actually the ones I struggled most with translating. (1) Indicative vote - the members could vote on the website of the clubs, but it wasn't the result of the vote that would decide the name, that was the board's job; after looking on the result from the vote they could still choose the least wanted name, since the vote only was an indication. (2) I guess engagement could be replaced by controversy. (3) I thought borough was a part of a city, but maybe neighborhood is a better word? I don't really understand the difference between those two words. But according to the article of both

I am no expert in wp:autoblocks, but what I know suggests 1 second blocks are not the way to remove them. Is this a trick nobody bothered to write down or were you just trying something? Yoenit (talk) 22:56, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

I simply don't know. It was simply trying something: since all the rights that a block removes are restored when the block expires, I figured that if I removed all abilities from him for one second, he should have all his abilities back in two seconds. Just think of it like a G6 speedy deletion, perhaps? It seems like a "housekeeping" block to me. Nyttend (talk) 02:38, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

The problem is autoblocks work differently: they are implemented by the software whenever a blocked user tries to edit. Autoblocks are always for 24 hours and do not automatically expire when a normal block ends. As such I see no reason why a 1 second block would help in any way. Yoenit (talk) 01:33, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

I was under the impression that this user was still being affected by the autoblock caused by his own block; I figured that it would be solved by letting a new block expire. Nyttend (talk) 04:05, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Nyttend, I saw you'd undone my CSD's of a pile of new articles on books by Benedict Allen. You are certainly right that LadyNico is new, and it was very kind and gracious of you to give her the benefit of the doubt. However, I suspect she is connected either to Allen or to his publisher with promotional intent, and not only because of the odd circumstance of bringing many similar articles on books by him to AfC at once. The other odd fact is that Mad White Giant was created (not by her) back in 2006, in very similar style. Did Allen or the publisher suggest that LadyNico should build on that success, I wonder? No way of proving it. I have for now simply declined all the AfC requests as V, lacking sources - the obvious alternative is Adv. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:46, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
