Dynamic painting

edit

Your article appears to be an instance of WP:COI. You appear to be the only person using this term, you give no verifiable references on the topic, and the only link is to your own personal website. Wikipedia should not be used for self-promotion. Unless you can show that "dynamic painting" is something beyond your own personal endeavors, I will recommend that this article be deleted.

Spam in San base

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on San base, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because San base is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting San base, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Re: Peacock Terms

edit

By Peacock terms, in short, it means words that give a positive bias towards an article. When writing articles at Wikipedia, we would like to try our best to have articles that have a neutral point of view. To give you an idea, here are a few examples I found in the article. "powerful computer system" - instead of claiming it is as powerful, list in detail what type of computer aspects it may have. "carefully devised "mutation" algorithm" - again, you could explain the technical aspects of the algorithm. "However, they are more than that." - This is a sentence that gives a bias towards the subject of the article. Hopefully that helps. Above all, remember that you must give reliable sources for any information that you include in the article. More information on sources can be found here. If you need more info on how to write a better article, check the page here, It will give you in plent of ways to improve your article. Hopefully that will help you out! Let me know if you have any more questions! Icestorm815 (talk) 19:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Good! I think that the article seems to be better now. Next time though, you can always be bold and remove the template yourself. I did however, add the template that says there are no references on it. Don't be discouraged, all you have to do is provide one, and you can remove the template, thats all. Any more questions, you know where to reach me! Happy editing! Icestorm815 (talk) 21:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Re: San Base

edit

Hello Lashenko. The San Base article simply did not read like a dispassionate encyclopedia article; it read like it was written by someone affiliated with the artist or a big fan. Words like "revolutionary", "breathes a life" and "whole new dimension" are what raise the red flag. If you are affiliated with the artist, you should read the guideline on conflict of interest and let someone else write the article.--Kubigula (talk) 00:08, 10 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:Sx577.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Sx577.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:19, 16 June 2012 (UTC)Reply
