Speed skating
editI have added some things to the article about Maki Tabata. My problem is that I don't speak Japanese, so I cannot find much text about her. As for Shimizu, yes, I had him on my list already of articles to expand. Another Japanese skater I have on my list is Akira Kuroiwa (twice World Sprint Champion, bronze on the 500 m at the 1988 Winter Olympics), who does not even have an English article right now.
I am currently also working on pages that give the history of the world records on all the distances. So far, I have done Men's 500 m, Men's 1,000 m, and Men's 3,000 m, but I have not created the articles yet. I'll do that when I have them all finished. That will probably take a few more days.
In the article about Lee Kang-Seok, I have added a note at the top that states that his family name is Lee. For Chinese names, there actually is a template for that: {{Chinese name|PUT-FAMILY-NAME-HERE}}, but there is not for Korean names. There is a {{Korean name}} template, but that is used to display the name in several different ways/characters. (See the article about Chun Lee-kyung for how that template is used, for instance.)
Image source problem with Image:Souri66.jpg
edit
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Souri66.jpg. 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.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 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. 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 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 04:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner. COBot 04:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
edit
Hello Crownchop! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 698 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- Manabu Horii - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Hiroyasu Shimizu - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
