==License tagging for File:Waiting4utour.jpg== |
|||
Thanks for uploading [[:File:Waiting4utour.jpg]]. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags|image copyright tags]] to indicate this information. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/All|this list]], click on [[:File:Waiting4utour.jpg|this link]], then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions]]. Thank you for your cooperation.<!-- User:OrphanBot/untagged-new --> --[[User:ImageTaggingBot|ImageTaggingBot]] ([[User talk:ImageTaggingBot|talk]]) 06:06, 30 June 2011 (UTC) |

It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted.

Hi {{BASEPAGENAME}}, |
|||
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion (<code><nowiki>{{db-...}}</nowiki></code>) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the '''[[Talk:GrimLittlez/Userboxes/MMAFan|the page's talk page directly]]''' to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact [[:Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles|one of these administrators]] to request that the administrator [[Wikipedia:Userfication#Userfication_of_deleted_content|userfy]] the page or email a copy to you. <!-- Template:Db-test-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:The Elves Of Dunsimore|The Elves Of Dunsimore]] ([[User talk:The Elves Of Dunsimore|talk]]) 07:20, 30 June 2011 (UTC) |

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the [[WP:Page Curation|current system we introduced in 2011]] is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group '''New Page Reviewer''' has been created. |

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most ''current'' experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work. |

== Agha Shorish Kashmiri == |
|||
Why did you decline the speedy deletion of [[Agha Shorish Kashmiri]]? I've done several searches and NOTHING on this person came up let alone that can establish notability. I am confused. You didn't even tag the article up or anything and you're an admin. I'm not coming at you, but I get confused with some of the practices here. It is inconsistent. [[User:Grim Littlez|KING OF WIKIPEDIA - GRIM LITTLEZ]] ([[User talk:Grim Littlez|talk]]) 23:45, 30 June 2011 (UTC) |
|||
:Hi, thanks for the note. I declined the speedy because the article asserted the significance of the subject. Additionally, a Google test is not sufficient for speedy deletion since sources may be found in non-English sources. If you feel the article does not meet inclusion standards, you are welcome to tag it with {{tl|PROD}} or send it up to [[WP:AFD]].

== Inappropriate signature == |

I believe calling yourself the "KING OF WIKIPEDIA" is inappropriate. Were that in your actual username, you would likely be forced to change it (as it indicates a false position of authority).

== short language articles == |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
In language articles, the language code in the info box links to the SIL site on the language. (SIL maintains the ISO codes for languages.) They have basic info on the language—speakers, location, maps, bibliography—that generally covers what we have in our stubs. |
|||
The language ''family'' stubs could also be so referenced, but we seldom bother, so in those cases a no-ref tag would be appropriate. — [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 03:59, 1 July 2011 (UTC) |

:Hey, no problem. They aren't ref'd in a way that's easy for a new reader to spot, but it's good enough to verify the article's not a hoax. Any significant expansion would require better refs. — [[User:Kwamikagami|kwami]] ([[User talk:Kwamikagami|talk]]) 07:56, 1 July 2011 (UTC) |

4 misdemeanors are 4 different sentences, one year each. Not a combined 4 year sentence. A person cannot be put in a Florida state prison for misdemeanor charges, no matter how many of them there are. [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 21:26, 5 July 2011 (UTC) |

::*Perhaps this will help you: "Inmates who '''committed felonies and are sentenced to at least a year and a day''' are sent to state prison in Florida, and are under the jurisdiction of the Florida Department of Corrections. Inmates who have not yet been sentenced, or who are charged with misdemeanors, and/or who have been sentenced to less than a year are housed in county jails."[http://www.dc.state.fl.us/oth/Quickfacts.html]. Combining them doesn't make a 4 year sentence. It is 4 (up to) one year sentences. [[User:Niteshift36|Niteshift36]] ([[User talk:Niteshift36|talk]]) 21:36, 5 July 2011 (UTC) |

Hello Grim Littlez, I noticed you doing some new page patrolling. One tip when patrolling new pages is to check the history of the page. You added some maintenance tags to [[Jabbar al janabi]], but if you'd checked the history, you may have noticed that it was tagged as a copyright violation. The bot was correct in tagging it as it was copied and pasted from another website without permission and as such can be [[WP:CSD#G12|speedily deleted]]. Don't worry, it's easy to forget to check the history, but that's something you might want to start doing. More obviously though, you added the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} template to the article. As a [[WP:BLP|BLP]] created after 18 March 2010, the article could have simply been [[WP:PROD|PRODDED]], according to [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion of biographies of living people]]. That way, an unreferenced biography won't hang around indefinitely waiting for someone to add references. --[[User:Belovedfreak|<span style="font-family: trebuchet">Beloved</span>]][[User talk:Belovedfreak|<span style="font-family: trebuchet">Freak</span>]] 09:02, 7 July 2011 (UTC) |
|||
:Thank for your reply. Just to clarify—it's not so much that you shouldn't add maintenance tags if there is a possible copyright issue, but it's just good to be aware of the issues. For example, if it's a blatant and obvious copy/paste of a website that claims copyright (or doesn't have an obviously compatible license) then feel free to tag for speedy deletion under [[WP:CSD#G12]]. If you're not sure, or are not comfortable judging (copyright problems can be complicated or more subtle) then don't worry about it, but it might be a good idea to replace the bot's tag if you see it has been removed. Sometimes the bot has false positives and the article creator removes the tag in good faith, so that's fine. When the copyvio bots tag articles, they also list them at [[WP:SCV]], so it's not big deal if the tag is removed because someone will check it eventually, but it just means problems may go undetected for a bit longer. One last thing, if you notice something that looks like a copyright violation that ''hasn't'' been tagged by the bot, you can list it at [[WP:CP]]. PS. No my message wasn't automated! :) --[[User:Belovedfreak|<span style="font-family: trebuchet">Beloved</span>]][[User talk:Belovedfreak|<span style="font-family: trebuchet">Freak</span>]] 09:16, 7 July 2011 (UTC) |

::Yes, obvious (or "unambiguous") copyright violations get speedily deleted - unless there's a clean version that you can revert to, or unless it can be rewritten, or unless it's just a small part that can be removed. Infringing material can also be removed from the revision history of an article using [[WP:REVDEL|Revision deletion]], although this can depend on how complicated the article history is and whether attribution may be lost. If in doubt, you can always get advice at [[Wikipedia talk:Copyright problems]]. Yes, the duplicator tool is very handy. --[[User:Belovedfreak|<span style="font-family: trebuchet">Beloved</span>]][[User talk:Belovedfreak|<span style="font-family: trebuchet">Freak</span>]] 10:25, 7 July 2011 (UTC) |

== Speedy deletion declined: [[:Hendrell D. Remus]] == |

Hello Grim Littlez. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of [[:Hendrell D. Remus]], a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: '''claim of an award is (just) enough to pass A7; I will AfD.''' Thank you. [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 09:17, 7 July 2011 (UTC) |

*See [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hendrell D. Remus]]. Don't take this as a criticism, it was a perfectly reasonable A7 nomination, particularly as you had checked for sources. I think many admins would have accepted it, and I dithered about it myself. Regards, [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 09:38, 7 July 2011 (UTC) |

As to your comments. Sometimes the truth is just not good enough I guess. I wish that editors had to back up their claims with citations before they delete facts as well as when they insert them. I think to some it is not a search for the truth but a childish game. I agree with you. [[User:Mugginsx|Mugginsx]] ([[User talk:Mugginsx|talk]]) 10:03, 7 July 2011 (UTC) |
