License tagging for Image:N2203491590 37912.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:N2203491590 37912.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The Hoof Beat

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article The Hoof Beat, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:The Hoof Beat. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Superdudes.nl

A tag has been placed on Superdudes.nl, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Superdudes.nl. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. J0lt C0la 00:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note about Signatures

Just a thought: In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also 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! Thedreamdied 01:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

marijuana

There is already a page Health issues and the effects of cannabis, so you might want to merge in stuff from your new medical effects of marijuana page there. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 16:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Have redirected Effects of marijuana to Health issues and the effects of cannabis because the article preexisted yours and covers the same area. If you wish you may move content from your old article into Health issues and the effects of cannabis as long as you meet consensus. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:45, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do not remove AfD tags

Please do not remove AfD tags from articles as you did here. This is not allowed, you may use the link in the AfD notice to participate in the discussion, be do not try to cancel the discussion by removing the tag. HighInBC ^{(Need help? Ask me)} 18:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletions

Hello Canadian, Please don't take offence at the deletion requests of pages that you have started. It's just that Wikipedia has certain policies that have to be followed, and they include verifiability, no original research and neutral point of view. Remember, that each article should be an encyclopedia article, and not an essay. I have, however, saved your work in my own userspace User:Jeff3000/Sandbox, so that your work is available when you want it. I hope that you continue to contribute to Wikipedia, regards, -- Jeff3000 00:26, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Lunascape (web browser)

A tag has been placed on Lunascape (web browser) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 assert 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 biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. meshach (talk) 03:43, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of The Days (band)

A tag has been placed on The Days (band), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.
