Lakes

Please do not add Canadian lakes to "Lakes of Canada" category, this category has got already a subcategories. Subcategorization is common policy on Wikipedia. -- Darwinek 11:00, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No. They should be added to apropriate categories. New Brunswick, Nunavut etc. should be created. It's not true that categorization is Wikipedia standard. Subcategorization is Wikipedia rule! Look at category "Explorers", you won't find a single article there. All are in subcategories. Subcategorization is more logical, imagine all rivers in the USA in one category, total chaos. Deal with the Wikipedia's rules or the community will eat you alive. This is what I have learned here for being here almost two years. -- Darwinek 16:33, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

French commune stubs

I've noticed you've made some quick stubs for a number of French communes. Note that most regions of France have their own stub category (see the subcategories at

French commune}}. If the information is not on the corresponding French page, it is often on the Italian, Dutch, or Polish pages for the commune. Finally, I noticed some of them are missing a period (.) at the end of the sentence, a simple grammatical mistake, perhaps from copying text. Please be careful to make them full sentences. You may also want to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject French communes for more help and sympathy. Thanks for your dedication! Rigadoun (talk) 18:12, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply

Marrakech Enquiry

In repsonse to

your question on Marrakech
:

Here is Wikipedia's stance on issues such as this: Manual_of_Style: Disputes_over_style_issues

...ourist or ...orist?

Fowler says that words ending ...our retain the 'u' when 'ist' is added, but it's not important enough to argue about. And styles have probably changed since Fowler wrote. I give in. CanOfWorms 10:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use image use

Recently, you've added a number of copyrighted, fair use images to templates. For example, [1][2]. Please be aware that per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria item #9, the use of such images on templates is not permitted. Myself and others have gone through and removed these and other additions by you. Please do not put these images or any other fair use images back on the templates. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thanks, --Durin 14:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Contemporary music

Hi Tomkeene, I wonder if you would be interested in joining the new

WikiProject Contemporary music that I helped organize recently? Our goal is to help improve Wikipedia’s coverage of the subject. Best, --S.dedalus (talk) 22:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply

Dear Tomkeene, If you can bear to cast your mind back 9 months, do you remember what your original source was for

this violinist's vital details etc and what you wrote about him? (as you originated the article). I have just added the Wirth references, and am looking for more (someone tagged it in September for non-ref), and it would be great if you could point the way to where your first stuff came from. If not, never mind, no problemo! best wishes Eebahgum (talk) 12:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply

I am very grateful to know that. I should have checked before asking but have mind like sieve. Thankyou! best wishes Eebahgum (talk) 13:50, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This articel has been nominated for deletion. Please see the article and

talk) 12:07, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply
]

section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright
infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
