meta-references

Don't take it as a wrist slap... there are tons of policies/guidelines, nobody can read them all before starting to edit, and nobody can guess at the right thing to do in every situation (and heck, some of the policies could be wrong and need to be changed).

I think, in this case, that the policy is largely correct... Encyclopedia pages should only directly reference things that are notable, and a handful of wikipedia editors who happen to own subarus aren't really notable. (for what it's worth, I own a WRX, so I'm not anti-subaru-owners in any way)

If you did want to keep the link around in some form, it would probably be appropriate to have it on the talk page, for what it's worth. Would that be an okay outcome? --

Your message

Funnily enough I actually took the tag off before reading your message; as you probably know there's so many articles started each day, and so many of them are business effectively wanting free advertising, that it does mean that unless we can see a reasonable acknowledgment of notability of the subject its usually tagged; as more articles are being created every second. But, in saying that, that's exactly what the {{

I believe the above cryptic message relates to
Callaway Cars Incorporated. I have prodded it because the article makes absolutely no assertion of notability - for all we know the company consists of one guy working under a railway arch in Bermondsey (you don't even say where the company operates). -- RHaworth 19:30, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply

Hello

Greetings, and welcome to Wikipedia. I just noticed that you started the

De La Salle College Malvern article. I am a student in year 12 there at the moment. What connection do you have with the college? Goiter McWilliostein, P. I. You can't control me! I'm a P. I.! Save Stargate SG-1! 12:52, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply

Ahhh... you must be apart of the generation of needing to be spoon-fed. Go to my user page and follow the link to my personal space. You'll find under my education section that I went to the college you mentioned. Apologies for the tone of this message... shit day at work!

Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg

Hello Ric man, an automated process has found an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, such as

GFDL license or released to the public domain. Thanks for your attention and cooperation. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 22:58, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply

Fair use rationale for Image:The end video by birdhouse.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to

fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale
.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 21:00, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Made a Boston Celtics userbox based on yours

Hi 8-Hype, I made a userbox based on the one your user page. Feel free to use it by using the {{User:Ric man/userboxes/Boston Celtics}} tag. I think I've put it in all the correct categories, but please feel free to comment on it.

Keep up the great work updating the Celtics scores during the finals!!
--ric_man (talk) 06:33, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's nice and I think I will use it. Mine had the alternate Celtics logo in it, but it was denied due to copyright problems. ● 8~Hype @ 11:40, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes... I guessed that was the case. I've tried to get around that by using a photo of a piece of clothing. Hopefully it will work.
--ric_man (talk) 12:06, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Having a look at my user page, I've got two userboxes for the Celtic Nation now. Did you want to get rid of one?

guide to writing your first article
.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria

for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Age Happens (talk) 10:45, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply

Proposed deletion of Les 11 commandements

The article Les 11 commandements has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sign of notability

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.

Fair Use in Australia campaign update

I'm writing you this followup message, as you took the time to vote in support of a Wikipedia banner campaign for the introduction of Fair Use in Australia.
After much planning and coordination with the WMF, Australian Digital Alliance, and Electronic Frontiers Australia, as of Monday the banner-campaign is active on English Wikipedia to a portion of logged-out readers in Australia (technical details). The banners direct people to this page on Meta: FairCopyrightOz. That page, alongside lots of information, further directs people towards the campaign website faircopyright.org.au where Australians are invited to write to their local MP to express support of Fair Use. If you are interested in supporting this campaign, please, send a letter yourself using the template letter provided at that link.
Furthermore, and with the support of the ADA & EFA, we have received fantastic media coverage - with article "Fair Use: Wikipedia targets Australians in bid to change the law" appearing on page 2 of the Sydney Morning Herald and page 10 of the Melbourne Age on Monday's edition. It was for a time the 3rd most read article the Fairfax website, and Fair Use was "trending" on Twitter in Australia. We are running the account @FairCopyrightOz on twitter, and we are tracking other press-mentions on the talkpage on Meta.
Today, day 2, we published a detailed post about the campaign on the Wikimedia Blog, ran an "Ask Me Anything" Q&A session on the Australia page in Reddit, and [by happy coincidence of timing] the article History of fair use proposals in Australia appeared on the en.wp mainpage as a Did You Know. [The creation of that "history of..." article was a specific request arising from in the community consultation in which you voted].
And, most importantly, in a little more than a day nearly 800 letters to MPs have been sent encouraging them to support the Productivity Commission's recommendation to adopt Fair Use in Australia. I urge you - please add your own message.
Sincerely, Wittylama 16:28, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
