Haku

Haku is transgendered. Perhaps this offends your sensibilities, or perhaps you were simply ignorant of the fact. But that's no reason to remove factual information from an article and then be rude about it. In the future, at least read the discussion page on a topic before you tamper with it.

Risa Harada

Is this a real person or a character from a book or something? CambridgeBayWeather 05:19, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Ok what you need to do is go back and add more context (as per below), I added a bit to stop it from getting deleted. At first I thought that she was a friend of yours and was going to delete it myself. Think of it as if you were looking at it and had never heard of her or DNAngel. Good luck. CambridgeBayWeather 05:29, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Kosuke Niwa

Brittany, if you are going to write articles about fictional characters could you please give some context? Otherwise our fellow esteemed Wikipedians will think these articles are about non-notable real people and have the articles deleted. Thanks. Reyk 05:25, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Signature

When you leave a comment on somebodys page use ~~~~ and it will give your name and the date. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather 05:34, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

It sort of worked. I got your name and date but your name came out black instead of a blue clickable link. Don't worry about errors they will all get corrected in time.

Angels

Hello! You articles on Angels are lacking in source information. You must cite your sources for articles, where appropriate. Which reference materials are you using to obtain this information? Other researchers may want to pursue further research and your providing details will help them. Regards, -- (aeropagitica)  02:26, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello again! You must cite your sources for the reasons given above. See Wikipedia:Citing_sources for further details. Until then I suggest that you lay off contributing articles where the information contain cannot be checked. Regards, -- (aeropagitica)  02:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

Good to see you reverting vandalism. There are two basic steps to reverting vandalism. (1) revert the vandalism & (2) warn the vandal about it. Good to see you have done both. But take care of a couple of things next time. Always leave an edit summary of the vandalism you have reverted. You don't want other people to misatke the reversion for vandalism! Secondly you don't need to leave a personlised message for every vandal. The basic warning templates are:

{{test}} (basic vandalism warning advising user to use the sandbox)

{{test2}}(Second level warning Reminding vandal his action are considered vandalism)

{{test3}}(Blocking threat to vandal)

{{test4}} (Final blocking threat).

If a vandal vandalises after test4 & has been repeatedly vandalisng that day, report it to Administrator intervention against vandalism, where some admin will come & block the vandal. For more warning templates, see Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace. For more help on vandalism see WP:Vandalism. Hope that helps. Thanks once again for helping to clean Wikipedia.

Cheers

Krad Hikari and Rio Hikari

Since Krad & Satoshi are like one, shouldn't Rio be Krad's mom too? And they even look alike. Blond hair...you know what I mean.

License tagging for Image:A624-37thumbnail.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:A624-37thumbnail.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 21:04, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry

It was my little sister. I'll talk to her. Thanks for reverting it.

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do.

Kyo Kara Maoh

I've reverted your edit to this article that changed Yuri's name to Yuuri. This is not correct. Wikipedia convention is to refer to characters using their official English names, and in the official English version of the show the character is called Yuri (see http://www.kyokaramaoh.com/ ). The original Japanese names are already given in the Characters section.

In addition, 'Yuri' isn't actually wrong, even as a transliteration of the Japanese. There are a number of different romanisation schemes that treat long vowels differently, and both 'add u after the vowel' and 'use a single vowel' are commonly used. There's a fairly good overview at Hepburn_romanization#Variations if you want to read more. In fact, it's probably more common for Japanese people with that name to romanise it as 'Yuri' - check out http://www.google.com/search?q=yuri+有利 (12,800 hits) compared to http://www.google.com/search?q=yuuri+有利 (561 hits).

Possibly unfree Image:Eiri.gif

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Eiri.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. Please go to its page for more information if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Liftarn 18:35, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

How I am supposed to add information that it should be deleted? The author, Maki Murakami, obviously has her art and manga all over the internet, and there's no copyright saying that it can't be. I'm just saying, so you can add that on, if it helps. Brittany 20:49, 9 August 2006 (UTC) PS: I honestly don't think that there's enough copyright tags to cover ALL subjects of pictures.

Image:Eiri.gif has no information in what way Maki Murakami have released the rights to that picture. Lack of a copyright message does not say it's free for anyone to take. What we need is something ssying that we are allowed to use that picture. If you want the image to be kept you need to go to Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images and state your case there. // Liftarn

Addition of 'South Park' character to Hermaphrodite article and removal of 'noise band' disambiguation

Hello! I disagree with your recent edits (addition of South Park trivia and removal of disambiguation) to the Hermaphrodite article. I think the former is unencyclopedic and the latter unnecessary. Care to chime in with your opinions on the article's talk page? I'd like to see if we can come to an agreement. Thanks! -- User:RyanFreisling @ 00:53, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Romantic attraction

A tag has been placed on Romantic attraction, 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. Hatch68 05:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Erotic attraction

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Erotic attraction, 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 its talk page. 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. – Tivedshambo (talk) 18:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:DNAngelDark.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article.

Fair use rationale for Image:00185.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:00185.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. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 03:44, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:43020.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:43020.jpg.

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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hface.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hface.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) 18:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:Venetian-logo.JPG

I have tagged Image:Venetian-logo.JPG as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale.

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.

Speedy deletion of Krad

A tag has been placed on Krad requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

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. Kraftlos (talk) 10:07, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

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).

Fair use rationale for Image:Daichii3.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Daichii3.jpg. 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. (ESkog)^(Talk) 13:53, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ryuichi Sakuma

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

Article about a cartoon character consisting entirely of in-universe writing and unreferenced editorial opining. No sources listed, just external links to fansites.

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. L0b0t (talk) 00:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Anime Vegas

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 Anime Vegas 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 organized event (tour, function, meeting, party, etc.) that does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.
