Hey Clausewitz01, I saw your comment on Talk:Mixed martial arts and responded there. Hope it helps. -SpuriousQ (talk) 03:20, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Cool, nice job and the book looks good. I made some small changes to your citation in this edit. Explanation: the "location" is the publishing location, "pages" is for citing a specific page (not total pages), and you only need one ISBN. Other than that, looks great. -SpuriousQ (talk) 22:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the barnstar, it's appreciated :-) -SpuriousQ (talk) 03:06, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah, never mind. Sorry about that – Qxz 02:47, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Battersea links

I left a reply on my talk page. Mindmatrix 15:14, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. First, I'd like to say that you don't have top satisfy me; just follow Wikipedia's policies, especially about external links (and also see What Wikipedia is not). I remove links from articles constantly, keeping in mind those policies.

I've just done so for Attractions in Toronto and Kingston, Ontario. I don't see the external links you mention in Manhattan, other than the citations used to support the claims made. Regarding Battersea, you're more than welcome to expand the article, attach images etc., so long as you consider the policies listed above when you make your additions. External links should be kept to a minimum, essentially only those that elaborate on the specific topic of the article (that is, not links to tangentially-related subjects), and additions should maintain an encyclopedic tone per Neutral point of view guidelines. You've essentially done that in the Battersea article, with the minor exception of the extra in-text links.

Please keep in mind that the purpose of these policies is to prevent Wikipedia being over-run with spam, or to transform it into a web or business directory. Mindmatrix 16:51, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I've read the relevant sections of the Wikipedia guide, the thing is, external links are necessary to show that the information is correct. I will make the parts I think are necessary into a more narrative form as you have suggested.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thunder Bay Flag.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thunder Bay Flag.gif. 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) 04:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

UFC 84

A discussion is happening right now on the fate of UFC 84. Because the outcome of this discussion could affect other MMA event pages and how/when they are created, your input would be greatly appreciated. The discussion is happening here. Thank you for your assistance! Gromlakh (talk) 17:40, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

RE How did you do it

Hello Clausewitz01:

I will explain the edit. First though, be careful as it can get confusing.

1. Display the history of the page you want to edit.

2. You will note there are two columns of small circles (which you may have never used). The two most recent edits are selected. If you click "Compare Selected Versions", you will get a display of the difference between those versions. But don't do that.

3. Instead, scroll down in the history and select the version you think you want to go back to, by clicking the left-hand circle beside that version.

4. Now click "Compare Selected Versions". You will get a display of the differences between the most recent version and the older one that you just selected.

5. Examine the differences. If you want to revert to the older version, then click "Undo". You will get the edit screen with the older version shown in the edit box. At this point you can add an edit summary and save the edit, or cancel the edit.

Although it is possible, it is better not to make further changes within the same edit as this complicates the history of what you did. It is much clearer and easier to say in the summary "I reverted a series of edits because....." than to say "I reverted a series of edits because..... and I made other changes ...... because ..." (The exception to this advice is very minor corrections.)

Quite straightforward once you are used to it, but it can be confusing. You might want to practise on your userpage. E.g., use undo to go to an older version, then use undo again to return to the most recent version.

File permission problem with File:Bricklin_2.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Bricklin_2.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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 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-enwikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 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 uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 21:50, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jon Bluming

A tag has been placed on Jon Bluming 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Bonnie-Vikrant swap conspiracy

See your subject in Talk:HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) and http://www.noac-national.ca/article/varner/rumoursofasianaircraftcarriers_byjoevarner.html for a cite and lead on a cite from the Canadian Parliamentary Library records. Having worked with the expat former head of an 1980's Indian fighter jet program that was destroyed and he made a fugitive because of the corruption(he wouldn't divert funds so he was replaced and threatened) it was probably graft, the Bonnie was probably quietly and secretly sold and everyone except the Canadian Navy made money.79.177.65.209 (talk) 10:32, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.

Proposed deletion of Sage Reynolds

The article Sage Reynolds has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability (note: an earlier claim of an award has been deleted, as not supported, and indeed contradicted, by its reference; the reference only said he'd entered the competition; it also looked like a draft announcement, with highlights of proposed edits, so not an RS anyway)

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TJRC (talk) 18:43, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Nomination of Sage Reynolds for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Sage Reynolds is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sage Reynolds until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. TJRC (talk) 19:22, 15 July 2016 (UTC)
