Speedy deletion of Cheetle

A tag has been placed on Cheetle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Paxsimius (talk) 01:36, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Meat/bun ratio problem

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Meat/bun ratio problem, 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Mattinbgn\^talk 02:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I will be improving the article in the next upcoming days. Sorry for any confusion. --FlagFreak ^TALK 02:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You may wish to contribute an article like this to Uncyclopedia. This site isn't appropriate for something like this. Thank you. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 02:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

As a popular phenomenon, the meat/bun ratio problem is notable enough to have its own article. How is it inappropriate? If truly against WIkipedia policies, please remove it. Thank you. --FlagFreak ^TALK 03:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Understand that something as far out as a "meat/bun ratio" needs to have proper sourcing to prove that it in fact is not a hoax. If you are willing to provide that, I will gladly restore the article. Tiptoety ^talk 03:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you have my word. ALthough I won't have it today (tired from work, need to nap soon), I will try to get a source as soon as tomorrow. Thanks for helping. --FlagFreak ^TALK 03:15, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Okey Dokey. Make sure the source is from a third party and is reputable. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 03:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I have two sources now. I have difficulty in choosing a proper title for the page, though. Can you help me out with this? --FlagFreak ^TALK 11:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Blogs as references

FlagFreak, please do not use blogs as references. Blogs are not considered valid as references according to WP:SPS. Additionally, it appears that the blog that was used in Google Street View is your own, and the [] that you surrounded it with may have been a deliberate attempt to hide this, a violation of WP:COI.

You're right. Sorry. ;-) --FlagFreak ^TALK 20:22, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:SVcoverage6-10-08.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:SVcoverage6-10-08.png. 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. BJBot (talk) 07:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:SVcoverage7-2-08.png

Thank you for uploading Image:SVcoverage7-2-08.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by an adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Samuell Lift me up or put me down 20:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
