Grigori Aleksandrov

Welcome to Wikipedia. Nicely done. I have for a while noticed that his article was a red link, and am glad you started it. If you add some footnotes (if you need any help with that let me know) in the next five days the article qualifies to be on the main page in the "Did You Know" section, instructions for submissions are here: [1].

Blocking Debacle

NawlinWiki (talk) 21:44, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Please stand by as I contact the blocking admin.  Sandstein  21:39, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Addendum: Having just looked through my contributions, I realize that I haven't done any editing for 5 months, and, in a fact, I was only active for two weeks before I took my extended break from editing. I realize this probably contributed to my appearing to be a sock, but the truth is I simply haven't had the drive to make any contributions since around the time I switched to this account. Today I suddenly decided to expand the We Can't Go Home Again article and--bam!--I discover I've been blocked since September. But, anyway, thanks in advance for your attention on this matter.

Speedy deletion of GreenCine Daily

A tag has been placed on GreenCine Daily 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 web content, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web 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. Truthanado (talk) 01:43, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the message on my talk page. It's nothing personal. Feel free to dispute the speedy-delete tag and we'll let the community decide. Cheers. Truthanado (talk) 01:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

(Reposted from User talk:Truthanado): No, it's understandable--nothing links to the article within Wikipedia. But I'd recommend Googling it, reading the references (there are four for the statement that qualifies the site's importance: "...is seen as one of the centers of the online film community." I thought that since we have an article about Girish Shambu, which is also undisputably one of the places English-language film criticism online revolves around, we should have one about the more heavily read Daily (example: the reference for the Shambu article is a GreenCine Daily article).--Granddukesfinances (talk) 02:40, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, I've added quotes from the references to the Speedy Deletion discussion on the article's talk page.--Granddukesfinances (talk) 02:40, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Les Anges du peche.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Les Anges du peche.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 14:13, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Benten Films

A tag has been placed on Benten Films 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Indian Auteur

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

defunct e-magazine/website, tagged for lacking 3rd party references and notability since 2011; Indian Auteur web address now redirects to a different blog.

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.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Indian Auteur October 2009.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Indian Auteur October 2009.jpg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Vulgar auteurism, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Michael Mann and Walter Hill (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
