ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. 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 site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

New deal for page patrollers

Hi OAnimosity,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the 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.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The last [[WP:CSD|CSD]] on the [[Justin Bieber]] article was in June 2009, and that was requested by {{user|I dream of horses}}, not me.

-== CSD Help ==
-Hi.  I noticed you were looking for some CSD guidance on [[User:TerriersFan]]'s userpage.  There is a great essay on CSD at [[WP:WIHSD]] that I think covers it exactly.  It should help you understand CSD better and why we use PROD and AfD.  Keep in mind that Wikipedia is built on consensus.  Every decision must be based in consensus.  When you tag an article for CSD, you arn't making a decision by yourself.  You are making a decision based on what the community has agreed as consensus to delete.  So even when 1 person tags an article for CSD, it's actually a community decision.  The community consensus has limited CSD to only the most obvious and unambiguous of articles for deletion.  If there is any doubt whatsoever, then it is probably meant for another process.  Read [[WP:WIHSD]] and let me know what you think.--v/r - [[User:TParis|T]][[User_talk:TParis|P]] 22:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of [[Wikipedia:Non-free content|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria|first non-free content criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

-# On [[File talk:Miesha tate.png|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
-Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

-==File permission problem with File:Nate Diaz.JPG==
-[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
-Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Nate Diaz.JPG]]'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
-If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
-* make a note permitting reuse under the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
-* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
-If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''{{NoSpamEmail|permissions-en|wikimedia.org}}'''.
-If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
-If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Grim_Littlez}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]].

-:See [http://www.sec.gov/investor/links/toptips.htm#boiler] a ref from the SEC that I put in there a while ago.  The situation is something like saying that a house of prostitution employs prostitutes.  That might seem like a rather nasty thing to say about houses of prostitution, until you realize that if they didn't employ prostitutes you couldn't call it a house of prostitution.  A boiler room employs high pressure penny stock salesmen (or similar) who use dishonest sales tactics, if they didn't you couldn't call it a boiler room.

-== Daniel Cormier ==
-Hello Grim Littlez. Thank you for your correspondence, I hope you will enjoy your time on Wikipedia. If there is anything I can help you with, please let me know. I and the other editors are committed to making your experience here a fulfilling one. The other name listed under the category for other names, DC, lacks a proper citation as well, as does more or less every stat listed in the stat box. A Google search for "Daniel Cormier Black Fedor" results in 1,700,000 hits, including a Daniel Cormier YouTube highlight video and several threads on popular MMA forums. In other words, the fans are calling him the Black Fedor and this has stuck as an "other name." Unfortunately, none of these fan threads count as a reliable source as per the requirements listed on the page you linked to. Having said that, I will not further my efforts to add "Black Fedor" to the other names list, knowing A) it will be listed once more within 6 months, as such as soon as ESPN or whoever writes an article about him on their site, and B) how little I actually care about the outcome of this inane disagreement over minutia.
-All the best!

-I don't know if you actually read the source, but it says that the trade is agreed to. That's different from the trade being actually executed, which requires (1) the league not being locked out, (2) players passing their physicals and (3) the NBA approving the league. Those things will happen, but they haven't. Right now, it's just stuff Marc Stein heard from reliable sources. [[User:Mosmof|Mosmof]] ([[User talk:Mosmof|talk]]) 00:06, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
