Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:47, 8 July 2008

AfD nomination of Mickey Mouse Operation

An editor has nominated Mickey Mouse Operation, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mickey Mouse Operation and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Replaceable fair use Image:JohnRPalmer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnRPalmer.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:50, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, could you please clearify what kind of permission we are talking about exactly? The image beeing free of charge for media use does not nessesarily mean it was released under a free content license. Please see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. If they agreed to release the image under a free license (not merely free of charge for promotinoal use) please forward the comfirmation to the OTRS que using the e-mail adress listed on the "requesting copyright permission" page. Give me a heads up when the e-mail is sent and I'll temporarily undelete it untill they have processed the permission. Thanks. --Sherool (talk) 06:51, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

1783 in Spain

Hello, I'm not entirely happy with the above article, are you going to do a project for every year in Spain? If not, this article will be lonely and soon be deleted, I'm afraid. Shoombooly (talk) 21:43, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

True, but i wondered if you'd also create the other years in Spain...will you? otherwise it's so lonely! (i don't like orphaned pages :) Shoombooly (talk) 23:29, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Stubs are great, gives others opportunity to help. You could start your own project. Shoombooly (talk) 23:47, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Your new Trinidad articles

Hello! I was just doing New Page Patrol and I was stamping your new Trinidad articles for approval. I just wanted to drop a line and say "Thanks!" for bringing this Trinidad information to Misplaced Pages -- you are doing a fine job in expanding the Caribbean coverage. I have also added WikiProject templates to the articles, and you may wish to consider doing this on your future contributions. Be well, and keep up the good work. Ecoleetage (talk) 12:35, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

In appreciation of your work regarding Trinidad's coverage on Misplaced Pages, please accept this as a token of my appreciation:

		The Original Barnstar
		In tribute to your invaluable work in expanding the depth and scope of Caribbean coverage on Misplaced Pages.Ecoleetage (talk) 13:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Keep it up, busy is good. Do you have some connecting to TT? Guettarda (talk) 21:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

The Irish Descendants

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Irish Descendants, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.irishdescendants.com/band.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 12:39, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

• Yes, your bot is confused. Badly. Bwilkins (talk) 13:32, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Don't give up

Hello! I removed the Speedy Delete tags, and suggested the editor take the articles to AfD if he wants erasure. The problem with New Page Patrols is that some editors are too eager to delete. I know, I used to be one of them. That's why I now add WikiProject templates where applicable to patrolled pages. If you need any further help, just whistle. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Here is a neat trick to avoid a reprise: never put up a new article unless you have all of your independently confirmable sources in place. The problem is that these appear to be works in progress -- that will open you to tagging. I never put up a new article unless I have my references and links in place. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 13:40, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

I am leaving a message for that editor (and you, too) on his page. Ecoleetage (talk) 13:52, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Everything seems to have turned out well. Enjoy the day!

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 17:14, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Dear SineBot: I know you're just a bot, but BUGGER OFF, it's been a long week (and people have been p-ing me off extremely today with their unjust deletions!)  :-P self-signed by Bwilkins (talk) 17:35, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Heather

Fragments of Jade has taken that quote you got about Heather being named after the actress to mean that she was given her last name as well. I completely agree with you that that's not the case though. Thanks for looking into the situation. I can create a mini article on the actress if you'd like, she apparently did some voice work for SH4 as well - that might help beef it up a bit. Thanks again. --Thaddius (talk) 12:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of The Irish Descendants

A tag has been placed on The Irish Descendants requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

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 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 would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. -- ] (] · ]) 15:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

False Warning

Your message to my talk pagewas a false accusation of vandalism, and completely inappropriate. The band member listing are nearly word from word from the official site. Adding the word "on" does not make it any less so. You want to disagree with the removal, fine, but do not level out right false accusations of vandalism against me just because you disagree. --  (] · ]) 21:26, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm allowed to remove messages from my talk page, particularly unwarranted ones, and its rude to put them back. I'm under no obligation to respond at all. You could have simply said what you said in you second message (POLITELY) and reverted. The accusations of vandalism and personal attacks were beyond unwarranted. Don't take your bad day out on me. Why not re-read WP:AGF and WP:CIVILITY while you have a cup of WP:TEA. -- ] (] · ]) 21:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Ladies and gentlemen, the above is what happens when you post a CIVIL message stating that it appears someone did vandalism to a page. They get snotty. Remember this when you edit Misplaced Pages.
