I'm sorry to say that I've had to quick-fail this GA nomination for reasons I've explained at the GA talk page. I hope my suggestions give you some ideas for improving the article for a future submission. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 01:41, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:DIOYY - Don't Say We Did'nt Warn You Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DIOYY - Don't Say We Did'nt Warn You Cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on 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. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Kelly Cramer photo

Armbrust, I was wondering if you could update the infobox photo of Kelly Cramer with the white background like you did for the other One Life to Live character profiles. I think it would be better to have that type of picture up to be in accordance with the other characters. Thanks a lot! 149.4.42.21 (talk) 16:44, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but I didn't updated the other pages. Someone has updated the pictures and I just removed not needed white spaces and reduced their site non-free use. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 16:59, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

No. It was the picture you uploaded. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 22:43, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Fighting Fantasy

I notice you undid some of the redirects on Fighting Fantasy gamebooks. I started a discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Citadel of Chaos to try and see what should be done. Regards. Szzuk (talk) 23:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Find Highly Composite Numbers

Thanks for reviewing my page on finding highly composite numbers. This is my first page, so please excuse me for not getting everything right first time. I have added categories and a reference and removed the corresponding tags that you rightly placed into the article. I hope that's ok. There is still the wikify tag left. Please tell me what I need to do before I am justified in removing the tag. Also, I was surprised to find that Mathematics and Number Theory are not preexisting categories. I don't know whether I should just remove those category references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Torkel1001 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Well you have misspelled the first and capitalised the second wrong. Corrected them for you. Wikify means, that you should add links to other articles. For more information see: Wikipedia:Glossary#Wikify. Armbrust public ^Talk _Contribs 10:30, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

U.S. National Whitewater Center

Hello,

Is there any reason not to use File:Logo for US National Whitewater Center.svg in the article's infobox? The confusion was started when User:Whitewater center converted a photo to a logo (for unknown reason), which you reverted, and then uploaded the logo separately. But there was already a logo file, which displays better than the jpg logo that was first uploaded by User:Whitewater center. Thanks. HowardMorland (talk) 09:09, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, I didn't know this picture exists. When i added the other picture it looked like this. Armbrust public ^Talk _Contribs 10:22, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. That's what I figured. HowardMorland (talk) 16:41, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

Bradford Dragons

Hi, I'm quite new to this, but I will state my case for inclusion of the Bradford Dragons on Wikipedia. Firstly many of the other teams in the English basketball league have entries, many not as long as my entry. Secondary I followed very closely what had been written about similar basketball teams the Manchester Magic and Leeds Carnegie. this entry was only meant to give the public similar information as on other teams and does not contain bias towards them. Bradford Dragons also attract crowds upwards of 200 many more than similar clubs who have a page on Wikipedia. If Bradford Dragons aren't deemed worthy of a page then surely other basketball teams with less popularity and interest around the country must also be deleted. Many thanks Elsy1990 (talk) 03:38, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, but I can't remember how the article looked and which information it contained before deletion. I have to say, the deletion of the article by RHaworth (talk · contribs), confirms for me that the tag was correct. If you feel this is not the case, then you can request undeletion or contact the deleting admin. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 03:50, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I think I have understood the reason for deletion, however Bradford Dragons are an established club like others in the same league and below who have pages. I think it would be easier for tips to be given how to improve rather than deletion without checking around the subject area. Bradford Dragons are deemed worthy of mentions on both the English Basketball League page and the page regarding sport in the city of Bradford. So why not there own page? Elsy1990 (talk) 03:58, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

I have say there is no reason, why such an article can't exist if it passes WP:V and WP:GNG (or WP:ORG). The article was deleted, because at that time it hasn't contained any information, which indicated notability. I strongly suggest creating the article in a user subpage, in this case User:Elys1990/Bradford Dragons, and after you have added all relevant information, you move it to the article namespace. This has the advantage, that you can work on the article without the danger of deletion. (Please if you have other questions, than write it on my talk page. I prefer to make the same discussion on the same place.) Happy editing. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 04:17, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Twin Sister

Hi Armbrust. This week you used Twinkle to request an A7 speedy deletion for a page I created, Twin Sister. The speedy delete has been declined as a matter of course, but this is beside the point, I just want to point to the guidelines for using Twinkle to request speedy deletion for new articles - Wikipedia:New pages patrol#New pages that may require deletion - and in particular this paragraph:

In particular, an article should not be tagged for speedy delete using A7 for not being notable (in your opinion): an article does not have to prove that its subject is notable, it only has to pass the much lower test of asserting importance or significance (whether it actually is notable is a subject for an AfD discussion, not a speedy deletion). Consider using a Notability tag instead of a speedy delete tag.

Now, I'm not going to accuse you of abuse of the system here, but this nomination was clearly on this basis - significance was already asserted in several ways. Please stop and read an article next time before doing this. Thanks. Bienfuxia (talk) 04:54, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of Finding highly composite numbers for deletion

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Gandalf61 (talk) 13:12, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

2011 Asian Winter Games

Good sir instead of putting the reference tag on all the article related to this event why don't you contribute? Intoronto1125 (talk) 17:42, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong on tagging articles. If you don't like them, then you have the option of ignoring them or address them. Me personally doesn't interest this event so much to search for references. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 18:29, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Asian Tennis Fedration's official logo.png

Hi, i know what is unlicensed media and Wikipedia's norms for that. The file you are taking about is related to Asian Tennis Federation, the article which i'm making right now, so just wait for few minutes and you won't find any orphaned tag. Bill william compton (talk) 17:47, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

I tagged it because it was an orphan. I suggest in the future you first create the article and then upload the image. Happy editing. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 18:31, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Marie Mattingley Meloney 1943 obituary photo.tiff

Hello, my friend. I am sure you get this question a lot, but I don't know the answer. In regard to the above image, I uploaded it at about noon and placed it in the Marie Mattingly Meloney article some ten minutes later. Perhaps there should be a greater time lag before a message about Speedy Deletion is sent? What do you think? Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:43, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Well the image was uploaded at 20:05 and I have tagged the image at 20:24, also twenty minutes later. What do you think, how many time should pass by before nominating the picture for deletion? By the way you should notice, that you have seven day to add the picture to an article. Removed tag as it is in a article now. Happy editing. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 20:52, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hmm. If an editor has seven days by consensus, why tag it with a Speedy? Not sure I follow your logic. (By the way, I like the photo of your cat.) GeorgeLouis (talk) 20:57, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

It was tagged, because it is non-free images, which wasn't used in any articles. In the case of files speedy means, that the image will be deleted in 7 day by a sysop, if the picture isn't used in any article. This time gives the up-loader plenty of time to add it to the intended article. (By the way, I have no cat, because I live in a panel and we already have a dog. We just took care of her, as long as we found her a better place in a family house.) Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 21:07, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Well, the notice did attract my attention. I guess "Speedy" does not mean exactly what it says. Seven days is not "speedy," to me. I think you should give the uploader (me) a little bit more time to get the photo put into the article. If editors have two or three graphics to upload (in the same stretch of time), then they should be given a chance to put those into articles before they are hit with a Threat to Delete. I will be doing more uploads today. Maybe it is the wording of the notice itself that is a bit peremptory, not you personally. Bye for now. Your pal, GeorgeLouis (talk) 21:23, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Files For Upload (Long Overdue Welcome)

Hi there. I'm long, long overdue in thanking you for helping out at WP:FFU, it's great to have you aboard, and considering how February is shaping up to be for me, I'm glad that I know that someone is watching the page when I can't be doing so.

A few quick things.

• Files for upload is part of the Articles for Creation group, and tracks uploads performed through FFU by using the {{WPAFC}} banner. Through the magic of the file namespace, that's all you need to stick in the talk page, it figures out that it's a file automatically, and AfC does not even use importance ratings. If you could remember to do that, it would be wonderful, if not, no problem. I suppose the only reason we track them is so we can all throw a charming little tea party if one of them gets promoted to FS.
• Secondly, it's worth pointing out that we are a first contact point for many new users. I see that you use the templates for explaining fair use and licensing in submissions. That's a good thing. Keep up the good work, and don't be afraid to personalize the messages if necessary.
• Third, if you ever see him around, (he's currently on wikibreak), Graeme Bartlett is probably the most experienced user at FFU, and I'm sure he'd like to know you work in FFU.
• Finally, if you ever need anything or have any questions, feel free to ask me. I can be reached on my talk page, or on the IRC channel #wikipedia-en. Anything I can do to help, I will.

Thanks again, Sven Manguard Wha? 22:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I uploaded this image, but it didn't fit the article efficiently, so if you could nominate it for speedy deletion I would appreciate it. :) Thank you. Yids2010 (talk) 23:58, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hy. I have nominated it on your behalf. Next time if you want something you created on Wikipedia to be deleted, then just add {{db-g7}} to the page. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 00:08, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

In reference to File:Magdalena Bay.jpg; the image was taken by myself of a painting produced in 1840, the author died more than 100 years ago. What is the issue? {{PD-old}} Should be sufficient is it not? King (talk) 06:17, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Well I only see this: "Photo was taken at the Louvre in Spring 2010. Frame is cropped away." If I had seen the message, what you written here, than I haven't tagged the picture. Removed tag. Happy editing. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 06:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

File:Playerpianoep.jpg

Hi there, and thanks for your help. It appears that they may have the following image cued for deletion due to no fair use rationale provided. I have provided what I believe to be the acceptable rationale in the file description page now. Can we get the deletion template removed as this is an album cover in low resolution that fits the criteria as described on the Wikipedia page for acceptable rationale for this type of image. Also I do have express permission from the owner of the image. thanks for all your help on wikipedia! Damnsell (talk) 06:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi, what was wrong with the licensing of the structure? I added the creative commons, all my own work license. The other week when I uploaded a structure w/o a licence it was tagged, and now I do, it's tagged. What should I do? Louisajb (talk) 17:35, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

You have nothing to do. I just replaced the license tag with a more appropriate. As structural formula is ineligible for copyright this tag is more suited for the picture. If you upload such structures, than please use {{pd-chem}} in the future. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 17:40, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I made this picture and modified for Daved Benefield. Please tell me how to give you proof for that! Official email from him or...? Thanks for understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelbab (talk • contribs) 22:47, 12 February 2011

There's two ways in this special case. You either give me a link, where the license information can be found (for example for this picture the license link is the following]) or you follow the steps described at WP:CONSENT and after them inform me, that it happened. It could be faster if you choose the first variation. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 22:55, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

This license link is the file. Is that enought? I can give you my access for there if you need :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Angelbab (talk • contribs) 23:09, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

There is a problem. The picture currently has a "All Rights Reserved" license. If you have uploaded the picture, than change it to {{Cc-by-2.0}} and I will upload the picture. If you're not the up-loader, then you have to follow the second variation. (No need for it, I'm registered to flickr.) Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 23:14, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
