Personal pronouns on Wikipedia

Oh, sorry. I should have clarified I was talking only about first and second person (singular/plural). You can't use these personal pronouns because an encyclopedia is an impersonal source. Wikipedia:Manual of Style itself states that "Wikipedia articles must not be based on one person's opinions or experiences", so "I can never be used except when it appears in a quotation", and the use of we and one must be avoided too, "for similar reasons".

The manual also says "it is sometimes appropriate to use we or one when referring to an experience that anyone, any reader, would be expected to have, such as general perceptual experiences." It said that a sentence such as "When most people open their eyes, they see something." can be written as "When we open our eyes, we see something." Open one's eyes is something truly general, therefore the use of we or one is acceptable.

The manual also talks about the second person (which must be avoided too), but you can read that on your own.Kazu-kun 18:01, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Principal Yakuza families

Hi there! Thanks a lot for your recent contribution to Wikipedia's article on Yakuza (section on Principal Families.)

I just wanted to let you know that the section really needs references and sources.

Also, I had to heavily copyedit and reword it. Please look the section over and make sure that I have not changed what you originally meant to say.

Thanks! --BloodDoll 02:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Jovian Federation

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Jovian Federation, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://homepage.mac.com/tatara/nadesicops/nd_j_jovianfed.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of United Confederation

A tag has been placed on United Confederation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of 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.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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. --Snigbrook ^(talk) 21:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:CS ScreenShot.JPG

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:CS ScreenShot.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 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
