By the way, I've done a quick copyedit on concrete, check out the history and compare the differences, see if you approve. Josh Parris # 08:33, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Speedy Deletions

Oyvind, thanks for all your help in marking garbage articles for speedy deletion - but if you think it's salvageable, then don't mark it as a speedy. Mark it for cleanup instead. DS 15:38, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Criteria for seedy deletion

When marking a page for speedy deletion, please be aware that "POV" is not a valid criteria. Please take a look at Criteria for speedy deletion and use one of the reasons listed there instead. --Hitchhiker89 14:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Soft/Rock

Hey, you've warned a user (194.80.134.139) for 'vandlising' pages, including the Soft/Rock page a couple of times. I've been doing some digging around and have posted a query on the Lemon Jelly forum about what the user has added. I've also found out that at least some of what the user added is true, in that Laura Lees was the embroidery artist responsible for the award-winning design, I'm now just trying to confirm the last part of the assertion, namely that the first twelve were 'more unique' than the remaining 988. Just thought you ought to know, in case I end up putting some of the information back and you revert it as vandalism. Budgiekiller 08:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Just found some more information. Check out the Talk page. Cheers! Budgiekiller 10:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Shotcrete-Wet.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Shotcrete-Wet.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Longhair 23:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Shotcrete-Robot.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Shotcrete-Robot.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Interlanguage link to non-existent article

On Plasticizer you added an interlanguage link to no:Plastifiserende (in August last year). It seems this (Norwegian) article has never existed. I was just wondering about why this pointer was included. __meco 16:31, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

ah, I do not remember the intention of this - might have had plans for an article/stub that never got out. Removed the :no link. Oyvind 09:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Portland Cement Production Schematic.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Portland Cement Production Schematic.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Shirati

Hi, you recently tagged Shirati for speedy deletion, on the basis that the article was empty. It is certainly no more than a stub, but it is nevertheless a valid stub; it's fairly obvious what is about, a town in Tanzania. Next time, consider searching the list of stub types to add an appropriate stub tag, or try adding a maintenance tag. --bainer (talk) 16:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Good work

Your help with maintenance tasks is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. Check out your user page for surprise! utcursch | talk 16:30, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Luis de Carvajal el mozo

Hi! I am wondering if you wrote the bulk of the article about Luis de Carvajal el mozo. I am very interested in this figure and would like to discuss more with you, if possible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Suyw (talk • contribs) 03:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

Sorrry, but I have only fixed a redirect and RV on that page - I am totally blank on the subject. Oyvind 19:58, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Roger Berkowitz

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roger Berkowitz, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Richhoncho (talk) 21:12, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Shotcrete-Robot.png

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Shotcrete-Robot.png. 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.

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 04:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 04:27, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Cement Production Schematic.png

The file File:Cement Production Schematic.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Redundant to File:Cement Production Schematic.svg which is hosted on Commons

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
