Cold stamping

edit

Re. Cold stamping - do you think that this article can be expanded? If not, I think it should be removed, as wikipedia is not a dictionary. Let me know your thoughts, thanks,  Chzz  ►  09:37, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply


I truly believe the article can be expanded. The article has just been created (barely over an hour), thus is seems more like a dictionary instead of an encyclopedia. The field of material engineering is very vast. However, experts in the particular field (cold-stamping) have not come forward to help create the article. Thus, it is difficult for an out-of-related-field person to quickly crunch the information and expand the article rapidly. The article will expend, just give it time. There is a book talking about cold-stamping alone. Try and see at http://books.google.com/. Being so, i believe cold-stamping is an important topic. Thanks :) Kerina yin (talk) 09:52, 3 April 2009 (UTC)Reply


I forgot to mention this, sorry. Also, there is an article about cold-stamping in another language which i think is written in Polish (i maybe wrong). See here, http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-stamping. Adding to my previous reasoning, since there is a whole book about the topic, and an article about the topic in another language, that makes me think this article is worth having. Thanks :).

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Arabic components (letters) in the word "Allah".jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on File:Arabic components (letters) in the word "Allah".jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. kashmiri TALK 12:14, 4 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

File permission problem with File:Arabic components (letters) in the word "Allah".jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Arabic components (letters) in the word "Allah".jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jon Kolbert (talk) 04:01, 27 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
