Welcome to the Article Rescue Squad!

Articles tagged for deletion and rescue Category Articles tagged for deletion and rescue not found Hi, Scythre, welcome to the Article Rescue Squadron! We are a growing community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to identifying and rescuing articles that have been tagged for deletion. Every day hundreds of articles are deleted, many rightfully so. But many concern notable subjects and are poorly written, ergo fixable and should not be deleted. We try to help these articles quickly improve and address the concerns of why they are proposed for deletion. This covers a lot of ground and your help is appreciated! Some points that may be helpful: Our main aim is to help improve articles, so if someone seeks help, please try to assist if you are able. Likewise feel free to ask for help, advice and clarification. Many times we are asked to help rescue articles by people new to our notability and sourcing policies. If the article is not fixable we can help explain why and offer alternatives. Many of these editors are also new to Wikipedia so may see deleting "their" article as "bitey". Encourage civility and maybe even {{welcome}} them if they have only been templated with deletion messages. The Articles for deletion (AfD) discussion is where the concerns regarding each article are brought up and addressed. To be an effective member of the project you need to know how AfD works as well as how to improve articles. Introduction to deletion process gives a good overview and some good advice for newcomers to deletion. Our primary work is improving articles tagged for rescue. On this template you can see a drop-down list of current articles tagged. You can install it on your own page by putting {{ARS/Tagged}}. A more dynamic list with article links and description is on our current articles page. It is highly recommended you watchlist it. If you have another language besides English, please consider adding yourself to the list of translators available. Articles and sources that use non-English languages often need translation for those of us who cannot translate for ourselves. Many important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is recommended that you watchlist it. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on the talk page, and we will be happy to help you. And once again - Welcome! -- Banjeboi 00:04, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Glad you can join us. I personally know how frustrating it can be to have editors delete contributions I have worked so hard on. I have been on wikipedia for 4 years, I would like to think that I know how wikipedia really works. If you have ANY question no matter how small or trivial, please, please, don't hesitate to ask me. I think it is important, very important to keep editors like you on wikipedia, and provide a enjoyable experience here. I am really happy you are here.

Thankyou so much! I love editors who are nice, and your one of the nicest I've met! Thanks so much :D --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 15:45, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

hi I have created the discussion/talk page

Thanks for guiding. I am new to wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki1985contribute (talk • contribs) 10:25, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

i have added more reliable links. how to add screen shot of software in softwre infobox. it doesn't show images in preview when i put an image link such as http://...some site..../screenshot.jpg —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki1985contribute (talk • contribs) 13:02, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, a few basic things first. When you write on a talk page, try and keep it all in one spot. Put : to do a new column under your old piece of text like I have formatted, in future. Also, after writing on a talk page, remember to sign your posts by typing four tildes (these things: ~) or press the little signature button up the top [2]. Now, back to the issue at hand, you need to upload a screenshot if you want one; you can't just link the website. There is a 'Upload File' link in the left hand menu which you can use. Save the picture of the screenshot and upload, but remember, images with any license restricting commercial use or the creation of derivative works may not be used on Wikipedia. Plus, you have to have an autoconfirmed account, meaning at least four days old and at least ten edits. Hope it helped, --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 13:13, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I have added more links to the article "Universal Converter". won't be editing this article further. Please see if it is good enough for posting. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiki1985contribute (talk • contribs) 13:54, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Please put new text under old text, relevant to the topic, and please, please, remember to sign your posts. --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 13:59, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

sorry i posted this message on wrong place somewhere in "speedy tag deletion" on your page. I am an idiot. wiki is hard to learn. Wiki1985contribute (talk) 14:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Hey there. I noticed an article you tagged (it was an article in a diff language) did not send a speedy notification message to the creator of the article. I am not sure what you use to enter in speedy tags (either automatic or manual) but maybe you should consider a tool that you can click on the page, then click on the CSD of choice which would then notify the users as well. It is faster and gives them a chance to respond (the tools to let you do this are on the "my preferences" tab on the top right hand corner). Kind regards.Calaka (talk) 11:42, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for the advice. I actually wrongly tagged the article, as I use NPWatcher to do it and speedied it as A2, when A2 is a different reason. Kind regards, --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 11:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

actualluy, it was a brand new article, started only two minutes earlier. You should have given the editor a chance to add the content. As reviewing administrator, I declined to delete it, and added an {{underconstruction}} tqag, which gives the editor 5 days to do so. DGG ( talk ) 17:13, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

I think we're talking about different articles here. I know which one you're talking about DGG, but which one are you talking about Calaka? --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 17:24, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

well, the one I had in mind was

WP:BEFORE for some of the possibilities.). Then we are likely to gain one or two new editors, instead of losing them all. We need new people--people just like you. If you have questions about anything at any time, please feel free to ask me on my talk p. DGG ( talk

Hello Scythre, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I contested the speedy deletion of

Hi, I wanted to tell you that I changed a tag on an article that you tagged here with a db-bio tag when the title specifically stated that the article was about a street.--Terrillja _talk 21:00, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I tagged it under A7 because its a non notable street, and there's no SD option for streets/towns/buildings. I would prefer if it was restored or patrolled with a more relevant tag. Regards, --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 21:05, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I have never used NPW, but db-bio is not the same as a general A7. If all else fails, roll up your sleeves and use {{db|non-notable street etc...}} The tools can only do so much. Feel free to retag with an applicable db tag if you would prefer to speedy the article.--Terrillja _talk 21:08, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Yes thanks! I'd like it archived, though I am unaware of how to do so. Scythian1 (talk) 23:59, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

It looks like you used rollback to undo an edit that was not vandalism, which is not a good thing. Second, "never" implies finality, while "has not" more clearly conveys that she "has not" remarried to date; we can't say whether she "never" will, as we can't predict the future. user:J aka justen (talk) 16:42, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I just figured that 'has not' sounded wrong in the situation, but you're much more experienced than me. --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 18:09, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Questions

The only things I can think of at the moment are:

1. If I were to scan a picture from a book and upload it does that meet the fair usage policy?
2. Can I use references from archives that aren't publicly accessible?

Cynical and Skeptical (talk) 21:03, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'm quite a noob here myself, so they're quite difficult questions :L But I'll give em a shot :)

I actually scanned a picture and uploaded it, which can be found here, and some useful links might be

this

.

As to your second question, what do you exactly mean by the term archives that aren't publicly accessible? --Scythre^Talk_Contribs 21:25, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

I mean, university archives, some of them require a reference letter from a college lecturer, which means they are fairly hard for the general public to get into, would it be ok to use material that only in there? Cynical and Skeptical (talk) 21:41, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Thats a tough one. I would recommend looking

here. If that doesnt answer it, I shall call on my friends for answers :) What's your name btw? --Scythre^Talk_Contribs

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner! In answer to your question, The menu thingy was designed by a friend of mine who did an amazing job with my userpage, but I've seen them or variations of them on some other people's pages too- User:Roux, for example. Also, some users keep shops where they offer to install userpage designs or decorations in exchange for a certain number of productive edits.

And your other question: YES! I want to archive! I need to archive! The scrollbar on my screen when viewing my talkpage is much too small! That is unacceptable!! I'm not making much sense!!

So, yes. How can I do it? A little insignificant ^{Talk to me!} _{(I have candy!)} 19:43, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
