Creating Articles w/ Categories

Good work creating new articles. When you create things, it helps tremendously to assign them to an accurate category (see WP:CG for info). If you're really not sure about categories, at least assign your new articles a stub category (see WP:SC for info). By assigning a category, you help make sure your new articles don't get lost as 'orphans' that are not associated with related topics. Feco

Keiichi.net radio

The issue here is whether the radio station is notable enough to warrant having an article on Wikipedia, as per WP:WEB.

The suggested guideline for internet radio stations, from Articles for Deletion precedents: "Internet radio stations are notable if they can demonstrate a clear and verifiable cultural notability or influence. CBC Radio Three and WOXY, for instance, are clearly notable, but your own personal Peercast stream with three listeners may not be.".

There is nothing in Keiichi.net radio to suggest that it passes the above test, and in the absense of this I am inclined to propose the article for deletion.

Hynca-Hooley 23:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

In response to your comment, I've taken a look at the linked Japanese radio station articles, and they do not to me appear to pass the abovementioned notability test either. The reason Keiichi.net radio was picked up is because I opened it while new-pages patrolling; those pages are older. I think the best route would be to put all three through the AfD process and see what the community consensus is. Who knows, maybe a new precedent needs to be set!

:arn

This is a redirect page for Languages of Argentina to link to the Mapudungun version of wikipedia, but the template for the incubator automatically uses the articles name, so i used the standard template for a wikipedia version that is not an incubator and created a redirect link to link to the incubator so it would actually say TEST Mapudungun language version of wikipedia instead of Test Langauges of Argentina version of wikipedia at wikipedia incubator.Qrc2006 02:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

glad you marked it as nonsense. author keeps removing your tag fyi 128m6 04:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Per your question: Goodness no. If I did, I would have prod'ed it, or AfD'ed it myself. Per WP:SNOW, I left it alone. eaolson 05:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Eric D. Robinson

I don't see any reason to AfD it, really. It's pretty clearly an autobiography (in the Conflict-of-Interest sense) of a nonnotable individual, which makes his assertion that it's necessary for educational purposes rather dubious.

What's your feeling on it? Mytildebang 02:27, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

• Kinda iffy, because yes... it appears to be... Eric D. Robinson writing the article. (See the name of the user creating the page). Truthfully I wanted to make a point by sending the article through AfD due to WP:BIO, then again, Wikipedia is not the place to do that. Better to leave it for the admins to check, then. Thanks!

Kennedy Road (Toronto)

Dear JRHorse,

As you may notice, there are a lot of Kennedy Roads in all of Ontario. For example, there is one in Hamilton, Milton, Clearview, Caledon, Georgetown, Innisfil, York Region, Toronto, Welland, and Peel Region. (And those are just the ones in the Golden Horseshoe)

Can I ask you another question? Why would you want to put Kennedy Road, which in this case in Toronto, and move the page, renaming it as Kennedy Road (Ontario). Well, while other Kennedy Roads in other towns might be local roads, there is one Kennedy Road in Peel Region that is a major street.

Also, I appreciate your efforts and your experience in roads. Do you mind if I invite you to join WP:GHR? Click here for details.

Stop proposing deletion for my article. It is not acting as a "crystal ball", and it does not make any assumptions, it only states the obvious. Geez.

GTA Articles

I'm trying to make content on the GTA4.tv/forum members

• Wikipedia is not a free home page. If you're looking to create pages on those members, this is not the place to do it. Sorry! JRHorse 04:03, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Here I thought that Wikipedia was a foundation for knowledge. As per the credits of GTA: San Andreas, GTA4.tv was sited as the number one GTA Related site.

Help Keep An Article Neutral

Hello.

You've helped before with an article I have contributed to and now I'd like to ask for assistance again.

The article is:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambers_stove

Here's the problem:

After much near-warfare, the user lowracer agreed to stop using the article to promote his website and forum on the subject. I also agreed to refrain from same - in short, we both agreed to keep the article website NEUTRAL.

Unbeknownst to me, he slipped a little hint on how to find his website in one of the last paragraph's some time ago. I found it yesterday when editing the article for better grammar, correct some technical info, etc. I revised the sentence in question (you can see the changes in the history tab), and made note of the reason for doing so. He came back and changed it back, claiming that I was trying to protect my busines by "whitewashing" the article, when, in reality, all I was doing was trying to work within the guidelines set forth by yourself and others and agreed to by us.

Can you help? This person is very antagonistic and difficult to deal with, and I'm not inclined to get into a rock throwing war with him - all I ask is that the article be kept neutral with regard to websites on the subject, links to them, or clear hints as to how to find them using, say Google, to search for them.

We need an authoritative word to stop this from escalating again.

Your help would be most appreciated.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Nyralogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nyralogo.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 09:40, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Aplogo.PNG}

Thank you for uploading Image:Aplogo.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. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Image source problem with Image:285.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:285.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Brianga (talk) 14:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy tagging as nonsense

WP:CSD#G1 is only for "Pages consisting entirely of incoherent text or gibberish with no meaningful content or history." It is intended for the likes of "x#*&5dbh@%!8" and "Yaaaayyyyy LOL!!!!!!!!!!", soit wasn't the right tag for Pila Horatia just now, which was intelligible, if abstruse. It was a copyright violation, though, and I have speedied it WP:CSD#G12 (maybe that's what you meant, in which case ignore this message!) Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

• Your amendments are considered biased and unsourced. Please see WP:NPOV and WP:UNSOURCED. JRHorse (talk) 03:12, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

They are not unsourced.. as I said maybe you don't read the news... ≈≈≈≈ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.80.225.64 (talk) 03:20, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

• If you wish to add to the article then please maintain neutrality, per WP:NPOV. You can reference sources they will be subject to scrutiny by other users, as all articles are. However, to refer to someone in a biography as a "manipulator, thief, liar," etc. is inappropriate for a Wikipedia article. JRHorse (talk) 03:24, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Action (TV series)

Hi, I was the anonymous user who added changes to the page for Action (TV series). I forgot to log in which is why I was anonymous. I created the article page many years ago and decided to take a look at it and undid a few changes, which I believe went unchanged since no one who could verify those changes noticed them.

The addition of the main character, Peter Dragon, having started as a screenwriter for Garbage Pail Kids is false, when in fact, he admits to a struggling screenwriter that he used to write for gay porno. I suspect 'Garbage Pail Kids' was added in for laughs, so I undid the changes.

Sorry again for not signing in or explaining my changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ourchair (talk • contribs) 03:43, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

November 2012

Hello JRHorse. You tagged "Stars elite cheer lawton oklahoma" for speedy deletion, but you did not notify the article's creator that it had been so tagged. There is strong consensus that the creators of articles tagged for speedy deletion should be warned and that the person placing the tag has that responsibility. All of the major speedy deletion templates contain a pre-formatted warning for this purpose—just copy and paste to the creator's talk page. Thank you. Legoktm (talk) 03:44, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Dan Didio

hee, I know I like to write funny opinions about Dan Didio because everyone hates him. He's sexist and needs to be fired but I take no offense to having my edit taken out, in fact I was so happy it lasted for so long and I even took a screenshot to show others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.139.60 (talk) 23:39, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

I think the same person responded to me and I say "I DO WHAT I WANT" because I have zero respect for someone who has teenage girls tortured for the fun of it in a sexualized manner, thank you very much. Also I knew it would be taken out so I don't care that it was "poorly referenced" hello it was a joke of course it won't be referenced.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Empireyonkerslogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Empireyonkerslogo.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 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) 04:00, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers

Hi JRHorse,

In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:28, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

• I was going to request it again if the IP edits kept up. Much obliged! JRHorse (talk) 03:33, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
