Afd etiquette

• Please don't blank Hector Acuña. If the outcome of the AFD debate is to delete it, it'll be removed. Meanwhile, leave the entry (you can edit it if you want) but don't blank it and don't remove the AFD notice. -- (drini's page|☎) 19:18, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt, The American School of Lima

"If you are not famous you can still have a page about you" - that's true, but that's called a userpage. And the difference between a userpage and a Wikipedia article is that WP articles are encyclopedic and don't have links to editors, Wikipedia namespace pages etc., whereas user pages are about editors and how they work on WP. So basically, as User:Misantropo is about the Wikipedia editor, and Álvaro Proaño is about the founder of the TSA, linking the founder of the TSA is justified whereas linking the WP editor is not. If you're notable, sooner or later you'll have an article under Álvaro Proaño and in that case my revision is better, and if you're not notable then you shouldn't link yourself from WP articles.

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:23, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Rate equation

It seems to me that your correction to rate equation (the derivative) was wrong as it was perfectly OK Knights who say ni 23:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Roosevelt peru picnic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Roosevelt peru picnic.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify 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 file 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 02:35, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

TSA Peru (AfD discussion)

Hi Misantropo, the article TSA Peru has been deleted. —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-02-26 08:13Z

New Ivy League

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article New Ivy League, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. Were you aware of the previous article at New Ivies? This is technically a speedy-deletion candidate since it is a re-creation of a previously deleted article. -- Rbellin|Talk 21:54, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of New Ivy League

I've nominated New Ivy League, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that New Ivy League satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Ivy League and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of New Ivy League during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Cornell Rockey 04:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Roosevelt.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Roosevelt.JPG. 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) 12:10, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
