Hi, I saw your edits to Whalley. You need to put double brackets around the article that you're trying to redirect to. You can learn more about editing by trying Wikipedia:Tutorial, or ask questions at Wikipedia:Help desk. Best wishes, [[User:Meelar|Meelar (talk)]] 20:39, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Massachusetts Institute of Technology

It could just be me, but recent edits to this article seem to me to say way too much about how great MIT is, and seem to be moving it in the direction of being a bland PR puff job. I'd appreciate it if previous contributors would keep an eye on this article and make sure it reflects a reasonable consensus about what "neutrality" means.

Maple

Hi Gzuckier - any chance you could spread the new pics at maple out a bit more, so they don't overlap and clog up the page layout? Also I'd understood that conditional use copyrighted images were no longer considered desirable (being contrary to the free use ethic of wikipedia), I may be wrong there but it would be worth checking.

Anti-Semitism

...dunno, seems to me that your addition is inherantly POV, in that it proffers an explanation for the lack of one particular usage that isn't really born out by anything other than speculation -- I think the article stands better without your addition: it just states the fact that the inclusion of Arabs in the term "anti-semitism" has not caught on. --jpgordon{gab} 18:26, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
Multi-Licensing Guide
Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Yale deaths

Gzuckier, I now realise that you have arguments which you at least feel strongly about, and you aren't adding the section to Yale about deaths on campus purely to start some argument, so I am willing to let you add this section if you wish and will leave it alone. I added you to the 3RR section because at the time I was dealing with a few other similar disputes on the Bill Clinton page and the Franklin D. Roosevelt page, where users were continually undoing changes agreed upon, and the anon. user you were most at war with seemed to have a strong case.

Anyway, I can see you have a serious belief that your edits belong on the Yale page, so I will step aside and let you go ahead with these changes. And if anyone else has objections, let them argue their own cases. That's all I want to say. I'd welcome a response from you. Harro5 (talk · contribs) 10:23, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)

Song located

Check this out: Oh! Dat Watermelon lyrics, listed at libraries & worldcat as the actual song in the film about racism that you mentioned. I suspect Foster and Schoolcraft were sometimes confused with each other because Foster was better known. I plan to view the interesting-sounding film sometime, thanks (will have to drive to do it; few copies are to be found around the U.S. at libraries, but i have located the one nearest me that has a copy). (Scroll down on this page for the song you had mentioned, no ref. in it to watermelons, do a text search on the page for "massa's in de" to find lyrics.) Thanks for introducing me to the film.

Ok, I have a few more things to say that I've learned about this song and film, but will do so by email. I am mostly sure though that I have found the right song though. And for just now it's probably just as well not to reply to my userpage for something till I archive what's there in a few days and have a blank page again. P.S. both "Massa's in de Cold Cold Ground" by Foster and Schoolcraft's "Oh! Dat Watermelon" are in the film (the first of the two songs is not where the film got its name though).

minor question of correct number of pronoun (Protocols)

There is a link to 'false document' here, but the meaning of the false document article appears to relate to artistic creations, rather than to forgeries of this sort.

Are we top posting here or bottom posting? Anyway, are the Protocols an 'It' or a 'They'? I'd be inclined to consider them a they, but most of the editing seems to think otherwise. ?? PS Sam Spade, nice edit, kept the point I was trying to make, in a NPOV type of way. Gzuckier 19:19, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It's definitely "they" and it is "authors" not an author, as the research of Cesare de Michelis shows [Italian professor, Russian literature if I am correct. His study is now translated in English: http://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/bookinfo/4546.html

Basically he reconstructs the original manuscript based on the still existent variants.

Thanks for letting me know

I've voted. Meanwhile, I have run into what I consider disruptive behaviour and WP:POINT at List of political epithets. In my view, User:Liftarn has been removing material and asking for citations for material which has already been cited, and has been insisting on citations exclusively for, and inserting NPOV notices in, Jewish-related epithets, when no citations have been provided for any of the other epithets on the page, and when he has raised no specific objections in Talk:. Could you possibly take a look? Jayjg ^(talk) 15:53, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have actually not removed anything, it's just commented away awaiting citations (real ones, not invented). As Jayjg is pushing his POV in those areas it's ofcourse those areas that get attention for NPOVing. It should be noted that who first started requiering sources for everything was Jayjg. // Liftarn

Jewish categories

Hi I noted your input in the Jewish lists so hopefully this will interest you. I started making a few new categories: Category:Jews in music, Category:Jews in science, and Category:Jews in the visual arts, however User:Lulu_of_the_Lotus-Eaters has nominated all these for renaming due to his aversion to the phrase "Jews in". The reason I created the Jews in music category was because I knew Category:Jewish musicians and Category:Jewish music existed but mainly covered yiddish/religious music. I have persuaded Lulu to change the name of the current category to Jewish classical musicians (as this basically covers the people I had added to it) but I still feel a category such as Category:Jews in western music needs to be the parent category of all classical, pop, jazz, rock, musical sub categories to avoid confusion with yiddish music, Klezmer etc. I would appreciate your views on this here Talk:List_of_Jews#Jewish_categories Arnie587 23:25, 23 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I think your friend is right, although there are many editors who don't bother to make the distinction (and I am usually one of them). See Template:albumcover, which I assume the covers are being uploaded under, namely solely to illustrate the album or single in question. Just go to Jow Blow's official website, find a picture that looks vaguely press-release-style, and upload it under Template:Promotional or Template:promophoto. Also, it's fair use, not free use - there's a bit of a difference. :) HTH --pfctdayelise 14:39, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:CHAIN TOOL ANNOTATED.JPG

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:CHAIN TOOL ANNOTATED.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. bluemask 12:26, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

travail en perruque

Thank you for your informations. Effectively, working on side is not equivalent. The link you gave me on eBay is very similar to "perruque". Perruque is works made for the employee, for his home, for a guift, made during official working hours, and not something to be sold. The worker uses boss's machines, because he dont have the equivalent at home. It is not an on side job, to make more money. It was a well known activity (but secrete) in machining workshops, on milling, grinding, drilling machines, on which workers use to make parts for themselves out of materials that will be scrapped anyway. In fact, in french, equivalent words to "perruque" are a lot, depending of the town, of the activity of the company. And the origin of "perruque" seams to be the same as "wig": something hidden, not clear. We also say in french "travail masqué" = hidden job, which is different of "travail clandestin" or "travail au noir", which are illegal for a national tax point of view. All words in french are in popular linguage. "We" began to use these words at the beginning of industry, even just before. (years 1850) Thank for your advices. I think I will find something clear for understanding. --Barbetorte 16:59, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bicycle Fork

"Contrary to the traditional diamond bicycle frame, for which the forces can be very accurately modeled mathematically, the more complex shape of the fork does not allow such precise calculations. Perhaps as a result, forks tend to fail more often than frames."

Is there any reference for this? Given the shapes of current all-carbon frames, and the state of Finite element analysis, I'd be very surprised to learn that forks are just too complex to model properly. Heck, they can model an entire car to analyze crumple zones. Besides, I've just seen a new Trek Madone involved in a crash with a car. The fork blades where fine, but the head tube of the frame was broken in half. AndrewDressel 13:49, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Should a reporter who was sued for defamation be allowed to be the primary author of a Wikipedia article about the person who sued him?

See the article re: Michel Thomas: it is largely written by, and is constantly edited by, an LA Times reporter named Roy Rivenburg, who was sued by Mr. Thomas for defamation in 2001, after Rivenburg's profile of Thomas was published in the L.A. Times. The article portrayed Thomas, then 87 years old, as a fraud who had fabricated or exaggerated important aspects of his WWII service.

Mr. Thomas's friends subsequently put up a web site in 2002, rebutting the profile, (see http://www.michelthomas.org). In 2004, as a result of the research efforts undertaken to gather evidence for the lawsuit, which were forwarded to the U.S. Army by Senator John McCain and New York Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, Thomas was awarded the Silver Star for his bravery fighting the Nazis in France. He had originally been nominated for the medal in 1944, and several of his surviving comrades, who had not seen him in nearly sixty years, recommended him for the medal after learning his war record had been questioned by Mr. Rivenburg. Senators Bob Dole and John Warner presented the medal to Thomas, in the shadow of the Atlantic Wall of the WWII Memorial, days before the Memorial's official dedication. The Ambassador of France also attended, and saluted Thomas for his bravery fighting with U.S. troops, as well as with the French Resistance.

After Thomas died at age 90, in 2005, Rivenburg undertook a systematic effort to discredit Thomas, including posting an article on his personal web site at http://www.offkilter.org. This includes links to other bloggers with headers like, "That Lying Old Fraud Michel Thomas Has Died."

Even the most casual perusal of the background facts should persuade an objective outsider that Mr. Rivenburg is anything but neutral.

The article has recently been flagged as NPOV, but I believe a case can be made that Mr. Rivenburg is inherently biased, and should be barred from editing the article. Can you advise?

re: Gun politics

Yeah, the popups tool does that sometimes. I think it's a timing thing. One person fixes the vandalism on one server but the popup processes the transaction on a different server. When the timestamps don't exactly match, the wrong transaction can get changed. I've seen it a few times before. That's why I just fixed it and didn't bother you about it.

That's also part of the reason why I still prefer to do my work manually rather than through the popups tool. It's a little slower but I don't see as many problems. Thanks for helping with the vandalism patrol. Rossami (talk) 15:51, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Rickenbackerfryingpan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rickenbackerfryingpan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia 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:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —An gr 20:17, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Coffee as a carcinogen

Hi, it might be so that some molecule in the complex mix of molecules in coffee is to some extent a carcinogen. However, I would think it is a very bad idea to give coffee as an example of a carcinogen on Wikipedia when there are much more evident examples (for instance, why not astbestos, dioxines, gamma radiation, etc which are true inducers of cancer). I mean, if coffee should be denoted as a carcinogen, then barbequed meat is also a very potent carcinogen. Please, respond on my talk page. /80.217.232.217 11:47, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding this vandal User_talk:204.108.230.2 it seems that he's been given the "last warning" too many times. He vandalizes, he gets a tag; he comes back, vandalizes again, he gets a tag. There's two options as I see it: 1), call up the school district, let them know the exact times each was happening; they can trace it to their individual computers and talk to the individual responsible. Or 2), you can place a permanent block on the IP addy that would last a lot longer than what has been given before...say, twenty years? Carajou 03:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Electricflag.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

Why did you add warnings on User talk:207.10.170.13?

Why did you add warnings about one edit, which I had warned about an hour before, and another, which took place 10 days ago? (assuming you meant Michael Anthony?) See the dates on Special:Contributions/207.10.170.13 -- AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 20:56, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see you did something similar on User talk:72.144.156.114. IP addresses are often not used by a single specific person, but can belong to internet cafes, public libraries, schools, and so forth. If an IP hasn't edited in days between edits, odds are reasonable that the next edit won't come from the same person who made the last one, so warning about edits a long time ago may not be as useful as they may seem. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 21:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed that you reverted a good faith edit that I made to John Lott (econometricist), without any attempt at discussion and without answering my concerns on the talk page. Like me, you've been around a long time, and must know that this is treating me like I am a vandal, not someone trying to improve an article. I recognize that the article is a breeding ground for sockpuppets and vandals, but I am neither; please contribute and discuss rather than haphazardly revert other people's edits. --Spangineer^ws (háblame) 23:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:AIV

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. Thank you! Generally recent means the same day, and usually within the last couple of hours. Bubba hotep 15:03, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article Speedy Deletion Warning

A tag has been placed on APCO, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Fair use rationale for Image:Crosbystillsandnash.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Crosbystillsandnash.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 19:51, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Charliemusselwhite.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Charliemusselwhite.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use images

Please do not add album cover images to illustrate articles about the artist. Per WP:FUC, these fair use images may only be used to illustrate articles or sections about the album.

Olmo

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Olmo, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability).

Image:Brakshow.jpg

I have tagged Image:Brakshow.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

AfD nomination of Prussian Blue (duo)

An editor has nominated Prussian Blue (duo), 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 Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prussian Blue (duo) 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. BJBot (talk) 02:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for Wikipedians for a User Study

Hello. I am a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota. We are conducting research on ways to engage content experts on Wikipedia. Previously, Wikipedia started the Adopt-a-User program to allow new users to get to know seasoned Wikipedia editors. We are interested in learning more about how this type of relationship works. Based on your editing record on Wikipedia, we thought you might be interested in participating. If chosen to participate, you will be compensated for your time. We estimate that most participants will spend an hour (over two weeks on your own time and from your own computer) on the study. To learn more or to sign up contact KATPA at CS dot UMN dot EDU or User:KatherinePanciera/WPMentoring. Thanks. KatherinePanciera (talk) 02:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks again for the award you left. But now I find some geezer wants to delete an article H-Bomb Ferguson I started. I had only written one sentence when this thing appeared (see my talk page). As you can see I have done a lot more work. The guy Ferguson is one of the pioneers of rock and roll, how can he not be 'notable'. They should give you a chance I can't write a whole article in one go.

Spam in PFLEX

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on PFLEX, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because PFLEX is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting PFLEX, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Proposed deletion of Speed Mechanics

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Speed Mechanics, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 17:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Recent AfD on Christianity and Judaism

Hi! I see that you were one of the participants in the recent AfD on the article Christianity and Judaism. That AfD recommended (in a snowball result) that the article be merged into Judeo-Christian. However, since the AfD concerns have been raised, most notably

Per WP:ADJECTIVE and WP:MOSNAME, we use nouns and noun-phrases for article titles, not adjectives. So a general survey on the relationships between Christianity and Judaism (a topic this encyclopedia should certainly cover) should be called Christianity and Judaism, as per the articles Christianity and Islam, Islam and Judaism.
The reason the article Judeo-Christian exists, as its own hatnote declares, is specifically to survey the history and use of that word-phrase -- which has its own controversy, and its own tale to tell. (See here where I've set things out in a bit more detail.) That story is a good fit for its own article, and will get completely lost if the contents of Christianity and Judaism get inappropriately dumped on top of it.

Having contacted the closing admin, his advice was to open a new discussion at Talk:Christianity and Judaism, advertise the discussion widely, and if a new consensus can be reached in that discussion [his emphasis], then per WP:CCC the new consensus should be followed, rather than the AfD decision, without the need for a DRV or a new AfD.

Concerns about the proposed merge have also been expressed by Slrubenstein (talk · contribs), LisaLiel (talk · contribs) and SkyWriter (talk · contribs).

This post is therefore to let you know that that discussion is underway, at Talk:Christianity and Judaism#Overly speedy deletion, with a view to perhaps setting aside the AfD decision.

Of course, some significant issues were raised in the AfD about the article in its present form, so the best way forward is a question that needs some thought. Please feel welcome to come and participate! Jheald (talk) 07:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Voterseyeview.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Voterseyeview.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Damiens.rf 00:53, 14 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
