Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello FiggyBee, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

• some General guidance.
• Tutorial and the Manual of Style.
• Find out how to revert, move and merge pages.
• Sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~).
• Add yourself to the New user log and a regional notice board
• Ask questions at the Village pump or Help desk.
• Use the Show preview button
• Provide an Edit summary
• Add the correct image copyright tag to any images you upload
• Take a look at Consensus of standards
• Create a User page

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf ^melmac 14:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

reasoning behind my edits, for the benefit of Captain scarlet

Comments? I'm willing to work with you if you're willing to work with me.

If we can talk in 'private' on what either of us believe the Trainz article can look like and contain let's do it here (or on my talk page. Captain scarlet 13:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Sock Puppets

Stop creating sock puppets for your AFD for Dukey. It is a big no-no. ---J.Smith 06:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

I have not created sock puppets, I have not voted on the AFD, and indeed I have never edited the article in question. I was asked by David_VI to clarify a point in the AFD, and I did so. FiggyBee 06:18, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Guild of Play, Guild of the Poor Brave Things

Thanks for flagging the issues. I was working too fast, and wikied the artcles thinking I had also edited them. Mea culpa.

The articles themselves contain infomration thatwoudl leave a significant gap if they vanished (the reason I created them, albeit poorly) in the first place.

If you check revision history you will see that they have now been edited throroughly. This is flagged on each article's discussion page, too.

If you think any further edits are required let's work together to get them right rather than leave two gaps.

I think wiki etiquette is now that you, if satisfied, removed the speedy delete tag? My suggestion is that you remove it anyway since you can always reinstate it, and we discuss any outstanding issues.

Rufus Barr's page

I hadn't finished updating it FiggyBee.

I urge you to look again and notice that I do IN FACT, meet the requirements. I will thank you to refrain from conversing with me directly again. Stop trying to play Wiki God and perhaps find a life. Also, get your facts right, pal. Rufus Barr is not me, he is an entirely different person, but as he is my favourite comedian and I am yet to see anything about him up here, he deserves a page. Just because you've never heard of him, doesn't mean he isn't well known.

Thank you and good day. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Fufus84 (talk • contribs) 02:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

The Shiny Diamonds controversy

Hi FiggyBee, this is Leigh... the guy who created The Shiny Diamonds controversy article. I thought I'd let you know that I am certainly not Tim, nor am I in the Band "the Shiny Diamonds". In fact I don't even really like their music. I'm simply a guy who did a Wikipedia search on them after I read a really good article by David Segal in the Washington Post. It seems to me that many people (bloggers in particular) are doing the same thing. Only when we get to Wikipedia we find that the information we want has been deleted! How sad is that. I'm fundamentally against deleting information that people want. Do you know of any way to find out how many people do a Wikipedia search on "The Shiny Diamonds"? Thank you. Leigh8959 15:01, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Leigh. I didn't mean to suggest you, the creator of the article, were Tim; my comment was in reference to quotes from the Post article. While I am generally an inclusionist, I also don't think wiki should become a collection of indiscriminate information, and having articles based solely on a single op-ed piece in a newspaper (even if those op-eds are about wikipedia) seems a bit over the top. There's no (verifiable) information the wiki article could contain that's not in the original Post article.

Anyway, to answer your question, I think it is possible to find out how many views a given article has, since there are scripts [1] that show the top 100 pages. I wouldn't know how to get the stats for a particular page though, and I don't think that knowing how many views the page has would be worthwhile anyway, as popularity is not a reason for keeping the article, and the numbers are likely to be inflated greatly by the fact it is listed at AfD.

Why dont we focus on identifying individual points of objection at Talk:9/11_conspiracy_theories#Why_dont_the_Oppose_and_Agree_camps.3F instead of having long winded debates that cover 2 or 3 subjects The we we know everyones objections either way, we can work out a compromise on each point with a view to reaching a consensus.

Hi, when using cleanup tags, such as "confsing" "cleanup" "wikify", it's best not to subst them. See WP:SUBST for more info. Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 20:18 24 December 2006 (GMT).

Shinobido

Hi, FiggyBee. Thanks for adding your opinion, but I'm afraid the only reason I did it the way I did is because I'm not all that familiar with how Wikipedia's more intricate edits work. Frankly, I don't have a clue. About 90% of the history on the page is everything I've added and a couple of vandalisms or innappropriate remarks that I've removed. If you know how to make the changes and would like to do so, please feel free to go right ahead. Gamer Junkie 01:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, I am doing that now. :) Cheers, FiggyBee 01:05, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Good to see it's all taken care of. I was actually in the process of typing a message for you asking if you'd maybe forgotten. Looks like you haven't though. Cheers. Gamer Junkie 10:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Blanking User:Michael Shrimpton

I see you blanked User:Michael Shrimpton as a BLP violation. I'm pretty sure the page was created by Michael himself, which you can fairly easily verify yourself. As it is a user page, it typically contains a biography of that user. Mine is one such example. I'm restoring the content. Maury 20:18, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I notice there was some vandalism at the end of the page that suggests it was not written in the first-person. Removed. Maury 20:22, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I did check the history of the page and none of it was written by User:Michael Shrimpton. Even if it is his own work, it's hardly a typical user biography, and I'd say it fails points 2,3,4, 5 and 7 of WP:SELFPUB. However, it's not something I feel strongly about, so I'll bow to your judgement. :) FiggyBee 08:03, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ray_ellington.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ray_ellington.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Fnspr.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Fnspr.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) 05:53, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

de Havilland Gipsy Moth

I have been expanding this article and working on format and references. A user on the talk page proposed to rename the article de Havilland DH.60 Moth which I think is very sensible as then all the variants of the DH.60 (Moth, Gipsy Moth, Cirrus Moth, Hermes Moth, Genet Moth, Metal Moth etc) can be included but I see that this article name has been used for a single variant. There has been similar discussion on that article talk page. A discussion on this can be viewed at [2] where it has been been recommended that the content of de Havilland Gipsy Moth and de Havilland DH.60 Moth be preserved and merged in to the latter article. With many variants it is clear that the DH.60 is a series of the same basic type that can be covered in one article. I have been asked as a courtesy to inform involved editors in case there are strong objections. Many thanks.Nimbus227 (talk) 00:32, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

You can want to debate on the Refdesk, but it says in big letters up the top Do not start debates or post diatribes. The reference desk is not a soapbox. Sorry. If you want to get more people to the discussion, look through the article's history and find people who might be interested, then post on their user talks. Or maybe you can find wp:wikiprojects which would be interested. FiggyBee (talk) 13:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

What shall we do to clean up the Dunny Discussion Page?

First off, thank you very much for teaching me about Disambiguation. The Jim Smith example was very helpful. I was looking over the discussion you proposed on whether to merge Dunny/Munny under Kidrobot and realized that my side talk on the making of the page was probably getting in the way of the main goal of the discussion page. It seems the goal was to discuss the shift. Shall we erase the discussion we had so that we can free that space up for the intended discussion? Is this talk page the appropriate place to ask this? Thank you for bearing with me on this learning, editing, and history making adventure.Humboldtbettie (talk) 09:57, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

It's no problem just leaving our conversation there; sometimes conversations get sidetracked, and there's no lack of space for other discussions. FiggyBee (talk) 13:14, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm really sorry

I have been agressive when I said: You are an Anti-Semite and yo are a fan of Iran. I'm Israeli and I hate Iran, for this I thought that you were defending Iran when you removed my question from the reference desk. Forgive me, I'm not agressive. I'm sorry. OK?. Forgive me.

Dunny (Slang)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Dunny (Slang), 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). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi,

I've reverted your changes to the Gary Powers article - firstly, because such a rename should be discussed first, and secondly because simply cutting-and-pasting the article is not the correct way to move an article, as it loses the page history. FiggyBee (talk) 20:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Brisbane mayors

Hi, do I know you? If you're in the Brisbane area, then yes it probably is me since my name isn't that common. I actually think I may have completed the list of mayors, but as the Brisbane City Archives only lists the year of their mayoralty and not the exact beginning and end dates, it's hard to be 100% sure they are a contiguous list. I am now working my way through creating pages for each mayor -- currently working on James Swan, who I discovered was one of the founders of the Moreton Bay Courier, so I got a bit distracted updating the Courier-Mail Wikipedia page to add in some history of it, since it's intertwined with James Swan's history.

Just to let you know, I moved you reply so it is above Bilby's one [3] as I believe that is where it should be based do indenting. Given the collapse box which I didn't add, it was rather confusing in the old location. It may have been an automatically resolved EC or you may not have noticed where you were replying but the location was intentional, it's generally wise, as recommended by Wikipedia:Indentation to ensure your reply is in line with whatever you are replying to (in othe words, the indentation matches the location), even if that means you post it above what's an older response which is replying to an earlier comment or the OP directly.

Nomination of Francis Gary Powers Jr. for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Francis Gary Powers Jr., which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Francis Gary Powers Jr. until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Victor Victoria (talk) 07:52, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Broomhall

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

Unsourced BLP. No significant coverage found.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Collective

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Collective 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Non-free rationale for File:Flyinghutchinsons.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Flyinghutchinsons.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 19:23, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Hide box

I put the box around it because I thought that was the correct thing to do with unhelpful comments that detracted from the section but weren't outright vandalism. I'm sorry if that was not the correct thing to do. I have now removed the comment. Thank you. Sleeper4545454545 (talk) 19:04, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

File:Parachuteworks.png missing description details

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

• File:Parachuteworks.png

is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 09:27, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of John Broomhall

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on John Broomhall requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. j⚛e decker^talk 17:36, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Notification of automated file description generation

Your upload of File:Braypark.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

File:Jbchandler.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Jbchandler.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

• If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|FiggyBee}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
  or use the {{own}} template.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 02:15, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of WZ-9

The article WZ-9 has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No coverage for the subject; fails WP:GNG

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
