Image copyright problem with Image:OompaLoompas.gif edit
Thank you for uploading Image:OompaLoompas.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 23:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Oompa Loompa wiki edit
A tag has been placed on Oompa Loompa wiki 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 web content, 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 web content.
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 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.

Atrocity edit
That is most unfair! You have articles on Wookieepedia and other wikis so why not the Oompa Loompa wiki!? I know the page was not stupendous but I was going to work on it for a few days. Please please please please undelete that is really really unfair I spent ages extracting that logo and writing the text properly. I'm not a native speaker of English and that took me ages to get right. I will assume good faith but I think this is a blatant misuse of power. Please undelete kind sir!

- Wookieepedia is notable and yours is not: indeed, it would be astounding if it was, since it's less than 24 hours old. And, I would submit, there is little potential wiki-interest concerning Oompa-Loompas. By the way, the image is a probable copyright violation, apart from its questionable level of taste. Good luck with Paramount. Acroterion (talk) 00:06, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- It is not "mine," I was simply fulfilling a promise to a friend who is somewhat...let's say wiki-handicapped. I am no affiliation to the Oompa Loompa wiki and am entirely unbiased. However, in the fruitfulness of your comments, I respond. There is much to say about Oompa Loompas (without the dash, jeez) as they are an integral part of modern culture. My friend says they think they have will over one hundred users by Monday and lots of cash. About the image, I only fulfil request so please wish my friend luck with Paramount. Anyway, the image is not copy written as my friend made it himself; that is his brother bending over. I assume it is okay for me to recreate article? Johnboy7767 (talk) 00:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- No. The issue is WP:NOTABILITY. If in time your friend's site is notable, I am sure he'll be able to produce newspaper and Web journalism articles to prove it. Until then, it does not meet our requirements for inclusion. Acroterion (talk) 00:17, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- I still think that that is reasoning unfair and unjust towards I hard work. You have abusen thy power without first consulting the Wikipedia community. What if I reacreate the page and the community vote on deleteion? After say...three months if more delete than keep (HA! unlikely) then article can be redeleted. I will do that with your fruitful go ahead. Johnboy7767 (talk)
- Also, I searched in Google and found nobility: http://oompaloompasrus.weebly.com/news.html. Thank you very much for understanding. Now I recreate page with nobility. Johnboy7767 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 00:29, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- HELLO IS ANYONE THERE? Johnboy7767 (talk) 00:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- No. Again. We already have an article on Oompa-Loomas, and I removed your picture as a copyright violation and vandalism. Please acquaint yourself with Wikipedia requirements for inclusion, and our policies on deletion. Acroterion (talk) 00:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- Okay I have done so and added tags where applicable. I do not like how you have been to me and may request mediation from wikia. Thank your Johnboy7767 (talk) 00:59, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

- I am most sorry I thought that was what you wanted me to do. You should be careful what you post because your comments heavily implied that I do what I did. How many users does Oompa Loompa wiki need to be on glorious Wikipedia? Johnboy7767 (talk) 01:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's not about the number of users. As Acroterion says above, notability can be shown by external coverage, such as newspaper articles about the Oompa Loompa wiki. oompaloompasrus.weebly.com does not count. Dreaded Walrus t c 01:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
