AfD Nomination: Kowalewicz

edit

I've nominated the article Kowalewicz for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Kowalewicz satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kowalewicz. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Kowalewicz during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:TheTubeLogo.gif)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:TheTubeLogo.gif. 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).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Iamunknown 07:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re:St. Ambrose College

edit

With all due respect, I find it difficult to think of a less reliable source to include in an encyclopedia article. The guidelines for external links state that links normally to be avoided include "any site that misleads the reader by use of factually inaccurate material or unverifiable research." Ratemyteacher.com is not an "accurate representation of the views of pupils"; it is a non-scientific, self-selected survey of pupils who have decided to make their views known for one reason or another. ... discospinster talk 23:53, 10 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

What kind of bulletin board are you referring to? Do you have an example? If it's a board for students to post notes to each other then it's not really appropriate. The "rule of thumb" that you are looking is pretty much explained here: WP:EL. ... discospinster talk 12:37, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Benkov. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Llap.png) was found at the following location: User:Benkov. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 05:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unspecified source for Image:St ambrose college.gif

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:St ambrose college.gif. 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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 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 22:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 22:09, 20 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Textjam screenshot.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Textjam screenshot.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 05:09, 30 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Textjam

edit
 

The article Textjam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable service that seems no longer to exist

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Malcolma (talk) 08:25, 4 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
