A Request

edit

Long time chelsea fan here. I have a sincere request but before that i want to acknowledge something here. You and every chelsea fan knows what Petr is in history of football. I believe and many know it that by stats, he is undoubtedly the greatest pl gk of all time yet some hypocrites don't consider him even one of the greatest. I have plenty of references through which i can prove that he is one of the greatest of all time like jens and arsene's statement but a wikipedian named Boing!said zebedee tends to be his and mine's biggest hater and is reverting my edits without reason. Please look out the matter brother. Its for the respect of Petr cech and chelsea. I just want you to add-"He is considered by many to be one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time" to the page's front and for your convenience i want to tell you that its very easy to find the reference for this info and could be found by just searching-"Wenger on cech and Jens lehmann on cech". I would be really grateful to you if you do so and in fact, many would be. Well wishes from 117.234.71.163 (talk) 13:36, 9 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Nick Williamson

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Nick Williamson 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 a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 biographies.

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. ukexpat (talk) 00:01, 13 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hampar Kelikian

Adding a gigantic quote from another source is a copyright violation. Please don't re-add that. Corvus cornixtalk 01:26, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

This is the second warning I'm going to give you concerning inserting a copyright violation into Hampar Kelikian. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing. Corvus cornixtalk 18:06, 16 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Image copyrights

edit

Images prior to 1978 are still copyrighted. Corvus cornixtalk 18:11, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Well, some are. In order to support a claim of "Public Domain", you would need to provide details of the first publication of these images (at present, they have no source at all) to prove that there was no copyright message in the publication. Do you know when, where, and by whom these images were first published in the United States? --Rlandmann (talk) 21:38, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
In that case, you can't claim that they are in the public domain. Before 1978, the United States was unusual in that it had some very specific conditions under which copyright protection was granted. Amongst other things, a publication had to carry a specific copyright notice in order to be protected (in other parts of the world, and in the US since 1978, copyright is automatic; a publication doesn't need to state that it's protected by copyright - it just is).
The upshot of all this is that if you had some evidence that these photos were first published in a particular book or magazine which, for whatever reason, was published without a copyright notice, you could then claim that they are in the public domain. However, without that evidence, we have to assume that normal US copyright practices apply, and that the photos are protected by copyright until 70 years after the death of the photographer (which is why we also need to know who took the pictures).
As things stand now, the tag that you've put on these images asserts that the photos were (a) published before 1967 - which we can't be certain of (and it's irrelevant when they were actually taken - it's when they were published that's important here) and that (b) when they were originally published, the publisher left out the copyright notice (which we have no evidence for either).
I hope this has cleared up what the problems are - I know it can be complicated! --Rlandmann (talk) 22:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for your good-natured response! Unfortunately, there are a lot of really worthy people and subjects that we can't illustrate because of our requirement to only use material that can be freely reproduced by anybody for any purpose. Sadly, because the good doctor is no longer with us, it's unlikely that any such photo will become available. Perhaps you know someone with artistic talent who could do a sketch of him and would be willing to release it under a free licence? Just an idea...

New deal for page patrollers

edit

Hi Nickthearmenian12,

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) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
