About this image, where did you take it? I am a bit concerned about the correctness of its tagging as Commons-valid. Secondly, where did you take info about the birth date of Raciti himself? He was 38, so it seems unclear to me how he was born in January 1967. Thanks. --Angelo 18:02, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I took both the pic and infos here [1]

License issue should be investigated, you are right. I mean, the license is the right one as you see from the bottom of that web page, however this license does not guarantee commercial use and derivative work. This to say that I'm not sure at all is enough for wikipedia's standards.. but is the right license, so I created the template and tagged the pic. Marra 18:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

OK for Wikipedia. I put the source information on the image page. William Avery 20:07, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

You're correct; the license expressly forbids commercial use and derivative works. Thus I've redirected the template to Template:Noncommercial. --Iamunknown 02:50, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

IT-swimming-bio-stub

Hi - I see you have recently created a new stub type. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, new stub types should be proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals, in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies.

It is far from clear that your new stub type would have the 60 stubs usually required for a separate stub type, and the naming of it contravenes stub naming guidelines. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any reason why this stub type should not be proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. And please, in future, propose new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 08:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I did a mistake, thanks for your time. Marra 12:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Note on Italian biographies

Ciao! Thanks for working at Italian swimmer articles. I've just some notes: when you find Italian cities followed by a name of major city, ie: San Donà di Piave, Venice, the second means the province, so the correct link should be this [[province of Venice|Venice]]. For the same reason, you should add the birth category for the region, if they aren't strictly born in the city: ie, for Cristina Chiuso, [[category:Natives of the Veneto]] instead of [[category:Natives of Venice]], since the latter is reserved for people born in Venice as city, and not in its province. Bye and good work.--Attilios 11:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Ciao! Two style notes:

• No need of using <br> if you want to add spaces, simply leave a blank line
• No need also to add all those See alsos. If you want to refer to medals win by athletes, you can copy-paste, for example, the medal infobox from, say, Massimiliano Rosolino and add the victories of the swimmer in question. It's standard for more or less any sport here. Bye and good work.--Attilios 22:12, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

You could see a wikification at Alessio Boggiatto. Bye. --Attilios 22:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Beh, ora hai qualcosa da fare (io sto facendo più o meno qualcosa di simile per gli sciatori, recentemente)!! Ad esempio, in Giorgio Lamberti mancano gli Europei e i Mondiali, così in quasi tutti gli altri, stranieri compresi. Quanto alla foto di Lamberti... beh, me la cancellavano sempre, così mi sono inventato alla bell'e buona il copyright, anche se poi ho smesso di "imbrogliare"... Finora l'hanno lasciata, quindi è tutto OK. Ciao e complimenti. --Attilios 22:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Too much?

Ciao! Non prendermi per rompipalle, anzi sei stato grande in Giorgio Lamberti e altri. Forse però i risultati in universiadi e Giochi del Mediterraneo sono troppo? Fammi sapere. Un saluto e complimenti. --Attilios 09:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, grazie. Beh, io sarei per togliere tutto al di sotto degli Europei. Pensa anche al fatto che poi bisognerebbe aggiungerli anche a tutti i nuotatori di altre nazioni, e quelli mancano ancora dei risultati di Mondiali ed Europei. Un'ultima nota di stile: l'uso massiccio di <br> rende abbastanza brutto l'articolo. Io andrei a capo ogni cinque/sei righe, oppure se la frase riguarda argomenti differenti dai precedenti, usando la linea bianca come consigliato a WP:Manual of Style. In teoria, le pagine dovrebbero apparire (più o meno...) come in un'autentica enciclopedia stampata. Ciao e buon allenamento (io faccio 2/3 km al giorno circa, livello Master medio, tipo 750 punti). --Attilios 10:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Seal University of Trento.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Seal University of Trento.png. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:01, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Iterative Receiver Design (book)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Iterative Receiver Design (book), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non-notable book; only 100 library holdings, no identified reviews on Google Scholar, only 3 cites at all.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Speedy deletion nomination of IEEE Fellow Class of 1980

A tag has been placed on IEEE Fellow Class of 1980 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 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.
