Edit summaries

Just a quick request. Can you use the edit summary box when making changes, particularly if reverting? It makes following what's happened a lot easier when looking at the page history. Oldelpaso 18:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I hear your call, and see what I can do about it.

Other Bayern Munich articles

I've started other Bayern Munich articles you might want to do.

• Bayern Munich youth system
• Bayern Munich (womens' section)

Kingjeff 23:52, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

I must say, to me both sections are not really of any interest whatsoever. Even more so, just the thought of women's football gives me stomach problems. Maybe I am an obsolete age group for this purpose.

I gladly will give them a typographical, grammatical and syntactical once over, if you wish. On the other hand there is a research issue related to the girly version. German champions (football) also has a chicks section which only covers the era since the inception of the Frauenbundesliga. Maybe you wish to add the data before that time, after all, as much as I remember Bayern achieved championships in Frauenfussball way back (at some stage record champions)

Cheers, Oalexander-En 15:48, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

References?

Is there any references from what you put in? Because any administrator is asking for them.

Kingjeff 15:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I am aware what you are refering to. Prima facia I see a problem there as basically all I write comes from my - reasonably big - personal archives. Some stuff was written for other articles I have published outside the wiki environment. In the end I will suck stuff out of my fingers, I suppose.

At this stage I wish to add, that, for arguments sake, English football is almost exhaustively well documented here, the German side of things far less. For English stuff internal referencing is ok, thus.

German stuff still needs some basics to be done. Eg. just in recent days I added German Footballer of the Year (that list also required tarting up in the German section, ie., http://de.wikipedia.org / East germans were missing, frequency by player/club) and a in en.wiki complete list of German champions (football) (added stuff before 1964, trophy images (also in Bundesliga (football), etc.).

There is still such a shitload to be done.

Beyond this, there are smaller issue here and there that are being resolved as they are encountered (in both, the en.wiki and de.wiki sections).

Also, the more one does, the more shiningly red links are being created.

I just can re-iterate: there is still such a shitload to be done.

Hi,

Some other users are being picky about citations and sources. Is there anything at all you can put down for citations and sources? Kingjeff 20:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Archiving

Do you agree with me Talk:Bayern Munich? Have you been annoyed by me? Kingjeff 22:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Not annoyed at all, sorry if I ever gave the impression: not intended. When I do not say something I agree. I am pretty busy adding articles, eg. lately Zlatko Cajkovski, also German Champions, here a bit there a bit, plus of-course, more at Bayern. Thus, please archive liberally. Cheers,

Oalexander-En 16:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I only asked because someone accused me of being annoying in the Bayern talk page. And I was, for some reason, got a final warning because this administartor thought I was being rude and obnoxious towards others which I thought was incorrect. Kingjeff 20:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

In my experience you certainly have been completely ok ;). No worries whatsoever!

IFK Norrköping

Please do not change the scope of the article. To not complicate article writing and reading, I've split the Swedish clubs into a football page and a general page. This is because when searching for i.e. IFK Göteborg, 99.9% of the time people want to know about the football team, and not about the orienteering section of the bowling section. The same goes for i.e. Djurgårdens IF Fotboll and Djurgårdens IF Hockey which have separate pages to not mix the football and hockey teams (which in fact also function as separate clubs). -- Elisson • Talk 14:44, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

As nobody seems to care about orienteering and bowling there is no point in a disambiguation page. That stuff can be linked from the club page once written. It is irritating having to go through a disambig page through a IFK Norrköping link. Everything club related ist to be linked from there.

Can be done in the following fashion :

Club Intro, ...

Club does the following, ...

For the following aktivities follow these links:

• Link1
• Link2

Remember, that the club is not relevant for orienteering and the like (maybe in Sweden).

Cheers, Oalexander-En 15:25, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

You seem to not want to understand what I want to do. In the case of IFK Norrköping, the football section is the most known and is thus written about on IFK Norrköping. Other things, like general history of the club, or minor sections that don't deserve their own articles can be written about on the "club" page which in this case is IFK Norrköping (disambiguation). Mixing everything on one page is not a good idea, as it also confuses the reader. See for example how Allmänna Idrottsklubben (AIK) is structured. The club is often very relevant for "orienteering and the like", take for example "my" football club IFK Göteborg which also has an orienteering section which is regarded as one of the best in Sweden and probably the whole world. And blanking, which you did to IFK Norrköping (disambiguation), is regarded very impolite. -- Elisson • Talk 16:33, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Starting new articles

Hi,

I have a list of articles which are red linked to the Borussia Dortmund article.

Markus Brzenska Florian Kringe David Odonkor Cedric van der Gun Bernd Meier Marce-André Kruska Phillip Degen Nizamettin Caliskan Marc Heitmeier Uwe Hünemeier Sebastian Tyrala Sascha Rammel

Dennis Gentenaar Salvatore Gambino Matthew Amoah Michael Rummenigge August Lenz Alfred Niepieklo Alfred Kelbassa Adi Preißler Aki Schmidt Helmut Bracht Heinrich Kwiatkowski Wilhelm Burgsmüller Hoppi Kurrat

Hans Tilkowski Lothar "Emma" Emmerich Marcel Raducanu Mirko Votava Eike Immel Michael "Susi" Zorc Jürgen "Cobra" Wegmann Günter Kutowski Wolfgang de Beer Norbert Dickel Murdo McLeod Frank Mill

Kingjeff 00:32, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I suppose the vast majority of them has no historic value whatsoever, and thus the links should be removed. Lothar Emmerich and Hans Tilkowski surely have merit as they were in the 1966 finals, both in both of them! Maybe Eike Immel, and Frank Mill, maybe Votava, depending on his status in his home country. His father should find a brief mention in a Manfred Burgsmüller article if there is such a thing. I think most of the would have been pretty happy reaching Bundesliga standard on the odd Saturday, if they played.

Oalexander-En 04:13, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Would you be able to start the ones that are significant? Kingjeff 18:58, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Probably not very soon. From a general football historic viewpoint they are not that significant, albeit Emmerich and Tilkowski, in that sequence, are at least interesting. The rest should probably not only be unlinked, but rather completely removed - well, maybe one or two not. They have no whatsoever real significance to global football and are not even shining lights from a German perspective.

Priority should rather be on ascertaining really influential people, such as I have done recently with Townley, Csernai, Weisweiler, Merkel, etc. They were real movers and shakers, they made a difference.

Further to that a lot of club pages need lots of attention. Most of them were created by people who just have a moderate grasp on the last 15 years but do not betray any real understanding beyond this. The focus must remain on "oldest first". Everybody can collate the current line-ups - there is no art to it.

As some may realize, my contributions to the field of German football are not confined to restyling existing stuff on the web or from a handbook beside my desk. I do things like proper research with double verification of facts. This is consuming time like a dragster fuel.

My articles are boringly long for most, therefore I make "overview tables". A very few will take delight in my longer eluzidations, maybe one in 50 readers.

As all this stuff is for a posterity that has an interst into it exceeding lifetime - if the sport by then has not been commercialised to death - I am not that much worried if "German football" in the lingua franca of our days, in English, will be spiffing in two or five years. In the end it may be, Or not.

What Borussia Dortmund is concerned their great contribution to the poetry of the game was Lars Rickens fabulous goal in the CL final vs Juventus after being on the field for a minute or so. Had I never been a Dortmund fan, in this second I was. I suppose, he deserves an entry.

Avellaneda

Why would you merge the City and the Partido? Are you planning to do the same with all 134 Partidos?

I really think we should roll-back that. I wanted to discuss it first with you though. --Mariano(t/c) 12:40, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Dear Colleague, I surely understand your concern. I have taken a long time to consider the issue. BsAsProv surely has a great number of Partidos which have the "little country" quality that makes individual stories, or articles, for the individual localidades meaningful. In a Gran Bonarense context where the metropolitan partidos are essentially glorified barrios I have more than essential doubts.

The article was subdivided into Avellaneda Partido | Avellaneda + Sarandí. The article about Avellaneda Centro was essentially incorrect (wrong pop.) else content free. Sarandi was content free (it had the right population, ok).

You see, if there is a major article about a localidade, such as the es:Sarandi it makes sense to have a seperate article (I have not yet read es:sarandi, I must admit, but it's long!).

The subdivision of a partido is generally not important enough to warrant a special article for each. Thus, most should be dealt with on the partido site, I suppose. This is even more so the case in BsAs Metro where most localidades are not more than another nondescript barrio. Therefore there is probably no article for Parque Avellaneda (Barrio de BsAs DF).

The matter may be, and is probably, different in the Spanish section of W'pedia, where there is a more detailed emphasis on issues within the realm of the language.

To underline the point, should each an evey ARCE have an article?

In my personal opinion, W'Pedia is a customer service to the world. Each article should provide a max value of information. Links that offer just very little information should be avoided. Bloat for the sake conformity with limited concepts is also a questionable notion.

Thus far a few ideas. What do you reckon? Oalexander-En 14:35, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Not only I consider that the differentiation between Partidos and Localidades is important, but also the guy that made all those many articles thought so. Avellaneda partido is not a Barrio of the Gran Buenos Aires. Not even Avellaneda city is a barrio. Avellaneda (city) has its own history as a separate city that fused with the neighbouring cities.

It is true that some still haven't a lot of information, but that doesn't mean the individual articles can't grow. You even have articles for each barrio of Buenos Aires city. You think they should be merged into Buenos Aires? What are we to do when each Localidad in Avellaneda get their article? merge them with Avellaneda?

Outside the discussion of merging or not, I still think this should be consensuated. Spanish and Portuguese wikiepdias have separated articles. I think it was better to leave thigs as they were and work on the stub articles. --Mariano(t/c) 15:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

1. Avellaneda is - practically - a barrio of BsAs. If it was not for the Riachuelo the transition would be fluent (pun not intended).

2. If somebody bothers to write something of note about a localidade they shall free to do so. Else, it is not smart to have tons of 0-worth stubs about in the hope, that s/bodyu thinks they are a worthwhile sunject. Many will never be.

3. Yes. We have articles about many of the barrios of BsAs proper. About many we do not have, e.g Parque Avellaneda. Some are boring - some are somewhat more exciting. But we do not retain meaningless stubs about every street with more than two dog kennels.

4. If your heart is so much into it, why don't you start of with translating the es:Sarandi-article? Takes probably less time than our conversation.

5. I agree that ES and PT have more details - probably in as much as DE wiki has more details about German football clubs than EN Wiki. I retained the caveat of "relative local importance" from the beginning. Eg. have you got any idea what the Britannica article about Avellaneda is like?

Here we go:

Avellaneda

formerly Barracas al Sur (Spanish: “Huts to the South”) partido (district) of eastern Gran (Greater) Buenos Aires, eastern Argentina. It lies immediately southeast of the city of Buenos Aires, in Buenos Aires provincia (province), on the Río de la Plata estuary. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries the area was an industrial slum, slaughterhouse, and port district, separated from Buenos Aires by the Riachuelo River. Early settlers were Spanish, Italian, and Polish immigrants. The district was formally established in 1852, when the governor of Buenos Aires province, Vicente López, expropriated land from the existing district of Quilmes. The district was renamed in 1914 in honour of Nicholás Avellaneda, former president of Argentina (1874–80). It is bordered by the districts of Quilmes (southeast) and Lanús (southwest). The major localities are Sarandí, Wilde, and Gerli. The district experienced rapid commercial development in the 20th century, based on the processing and marketing of hides, wool, and meat.

During the mid-1940s Avellaneda became a centre of Peronist activity. In 1945 the descamisados (“shirtless ones”), rural migrants to the area, demonstrated in Perón's behalf, demanding his return from exile.

Port facilities at Avellaneda are utilized mostly for coastal and river trade, and continue to concentrate mostly on the handling of wool, hides, and other animal produce. The density of settlement is the fifth highest among Gran Buenos Aires' districts, and total population has remained about the same since 1960. Area 21 square miles (55 square km). Pop. (2001) district, 328,980.

248 words in total. No further details about localidades, and certainly no illustrations (which I introed here ;)).

6. Maybe we stick with the idea "first the content, then the article". Teasers we don't need.

7. Essentially, I think we do not leave the meaningless stubs as as nobody really cares. There are tons of stubs about where s/body thought they would be an issue the world really cares about. "Buenos Aires"-stub: sorted out inside 10 minutes. "Wilde"-stub: 20 years, 50 years? Nobody is wild about Wilde ;)

8. Summary: I am not against content! Bring the content, then claim the word. I hate empty teasers! I despise them!

"Wilde is a locality of the Partido Avellaneda (Prov BsAs) with a population of 66'000 (2001). "

This is garbage. This is worthless, it is a con! This is all findable under Wilde.Avellaneda.

Thank you for the picture. Much better than the other one. JROBBO 12:59, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your highly appreciated appreciation! I thought, nobody would notice, at least not for the rest of the decade. I just these days got hold of a digicam and was in search for a good use: apparently it was useful ;).

Also, as we might have some similar sphere, let's find out where and how we can co-operate. Stay in touch!

My big dream is actually a global campaign styled sort of "My suburb, o minho bairro, mein Wohnort, etc., ..." where users from all over the world are encouraged to devote maybe a couple of days to provide data about their smallest administrative unit in which they live. We could achieve a wonderful global survey of living conditions. I have to think more about it.

Maybe, in a few days I have Granville, New South Wales at some level so that it might reach an acceptable level whicht might serve as an appreciable standard for a boring area.

Why did you blank most of Granville, New South Wales? You didn't explain in your edit summary.--Shakujo 05:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Other Programmes (SBS TV, Australia)

I moved Other Programmes (SBS TV, Australia) to a sub-page of your user page, here. Possibly if you gave it a more sensible name - "List of television shows on SBS which don't already have an artilce"? "List of series which have appeared on SBS TV, Australia" makes sense. That could have some summary information, and red-links would be quite OK. Garrie 00:08, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the photo - we still need a platform photo though. JRG 23:11, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

No worries! Just happened to be in the area, and it was dark and wet, so I just took a few quick ones in the area. But a night shot suits that scenery quite well, what do u think? On that occasion I also took another shot of P'matta town hall, which I quite like (→ City of Parramatta). I' ll be there again soon, and will also have a go on Harris Park then.

Kingjeff 23:22, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Task forces

I've started a couple task forces. One on sports and another on translations from German wikipedia. You I think will do a great job here in the English Wikipedia. Maybe you have some ideas on what kind of task forces we can do or any other topic for that matter. Kingjeff 23:25, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Discussion page

If you want o join discussions or open up other possible discussion, you can go here. Kingjeff 23:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Football in Munich

Here's an article I've started. It's just a stub right now. Maybe we can work on this. Kingjeff 23:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

WP Munich Pages

Here are some Project pages I think you might be interested in.

• Project Main Page
• Translation Task Force
• Munich-related stubs
• Other pages requiring expansion
• Top importance Munich pages
• Photo requests - For this it might be better to email Bayern Munich for their player's as opposed of just taking it off their website. A couple people have made a big fuss over this. Kingjeff 23:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Warning

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Some of your recent edits, such as those you made to 9am with David and Kim, have been considered unhelpful or unconstructive and have been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. - Mike Beckham 02:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

My dear colleague, I am unsure wherefrom you derive the privilege to pronounce "warnings". My contributions are factual and measured. You may feel, that a contrihbution to the article might be done in error. It is not so. I shall thus re-issue my edit with a reference. I do not anticipate further issues. If you feel, that you have issues with particular passages, feel free to edit on this level! The rest of your "advice" with reference to sandbox, etc I abstain from dignifying at this stage - call it an outburst of mild manners. Please refrain from further provocations. Thank you very much. Oalexander-En 05:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Libel

Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative, as you did in 9am with David and Kim. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons. If you continue to introduce defamatory remarks to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Thanks, --cj | talk 11:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Would you please kindly advise which of my statements was defamatory. This is not transparent to me, as I for one did not

1. intend to issue defamatory remarks
2. due to the wholesale nature of the removal of my contribution to the article have no clue which part thereof was considered defamatory.

Further to that, apparenmtly a number of people were envolved in this issue, a transparent, public discussion is nevertheless not traceable.

To this point I feel compelled to regard this as a point of arbitrary censorship, but am comfortable to learn.

That, on a note of interest, the main illustration to the article, an official Ten release, documents issues which I have noted in fringe discussions to the article (but not within) is cheerfully interesting, albeit, it matters not. The wordcount of pictures is always uncertain, unless you trust the song. Oalexander-En 19:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Alex. I'm not sure what you're getting at in the second part of your message, so I'll simply address the issue at hand. First off, it would be greatly useful for our discussion to ensure that you are familiar with Wikipedia's policy on biographical material about living persons. It is because of that policy, and the policy on libel, that I am reluctant to (and advise against) repeating precisely what was written. It is these policies, also, which guided my action. The specific reference which aroused my concern was that which alleged a host of the programme possessed certain intellectual deficiencies. This sort of statement, without a reliable source, has the potential the land Wikipedia and the editor responsible in trouble (à la Seigenthaler controversy). Regards, --cj | talk 14:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I have not once accused you of vandalism, nor have I suggested you intended to defame anyone, so I'd greatly appreciate if insinuations otherwise are avoided. Furthermore, I must reject the characterisation of my action as "administratively inappropriate". All revisions I have removed from the page history either contain the offending section or were made in the context of its presence (ie, reverts).

You are, of course, welcome to edit the article freely, just so long as your edits are in accordance with our content policies. I'm personally relieved that you are familiar with WP:BLP; it is becoming more and more vital to Wikipedia's credibility – with more controversy just this last week. Happy editing, --cj | talk 15:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Am I Really the First Girl You've Found On Wikipedia?

LOL, that's almost a little sad. Surely, Anegla Beesley counts? Also, the Queen of the Humanaties Reference Desk Clio the Muse is a woman, but those are the only two that jump to mind. :) BTW, where did you find my User Page anyway? Zidel333 18:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh by the way, according to the Female Wikipedia Category and Userboxes there are about 800 self referenced females in the English Wikipedia. Just thought you'd like to know. Cheers! Zidel333 14:18, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I can assure you, you are definitely nummero uno here for me. There may well be 800 self declared girl's about here. On the other hand, I am not sure how many users there are in total. I guess 800 might be a pretty marginal sub-group. And yes, it is sad. A certain number tends to generally improve the culture of a group. The culture in this group I deem pretty basic. Not that I would believe that women are a cure-all, some are very problematic themselves.

I actually came across your user page as you have listed yourself in the group of arbiters. Anyway, I appreciate your company! Oalexander-En 16:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

OK, the German Wikipedia recently did a User survey that was translated into english here. There are 88% males, 10% females, and 2% other (?!). Note that this only pertains to the German site, but it can be used as a rough guestimation for the English Wiki. Cheers. Zidel333 20:05, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:AmyParks.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AmyParks.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. Longhair\^talk 22:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Flávio Costa

It is better to fix the birthplace. His brithplace is indeed Carangola in Minas Gerais (check this link). I used this link as a source, but, there is no Carangola in Rio de Janeiro state, so it is better to fix the info. I will do that.

After you finish expanding the article, I can translate it to the Portuguese Wikipedia.

License tagging for Image:PPower(Au)-Residence-1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PPower(Au)-Residence-1.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:09, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Avellaneda-BsAs(Prov)-Logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Avellaneda-BsAs(Prov)-Logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:UHoeness1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:UHoeness1.jpg. I noticed that 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, then 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, then 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: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 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 10:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fred-J 10:54, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Stade-Reims.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Stade-Reims.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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. BigrTex 19:40, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

I've already seen you on German Wikipedia but anyway I thought I just say thank you for your recent work on the German footy articles. Good translations. Keep up the good work, much appreciated! -Lemmy- 20:39, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I gratefully acknowledge your kind words. The connoisseur will also notice that these articles are not mere translations but often expand quite significantly from the de:wiki content as can be gleaned eg., from more recent contribs such as Fred Schaub, Rudi Brunnenmeier and Martin Andermatt. In some cases, such as Izidor Kürschner their are fully based on de:wiki originated primarily by myself. Just for you, another former Frankfurter Elek Schwartz (de:Elek Schwartz) is soon to come ;).

NSO FC

I have removed the speedy tag and comment you placed on the above article. Although, you may be correct in asserting that this team does not exist, that does not make the article patent nonsense in the sense meant by Criterion G1, which explicitly does not include hoaxes. The PROD tag placed by Xaosflux is about to expire, which means this article will probably be around for only a few more days at the most. Dsmdgold 04:21, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

The article was created by two known vandals, who have only made one single wortwhile edit between them. Everything else outside the NSO article was blatant vulgar vandalism. The article meets also the speedy deletion criterium of lack of assertion of notability. -- Oalexander-En 04:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

The PROD has expired and I have deleted it. "Created by vandals" is not a speedy criterion. In the future, if you feel that an article lacks an assertion of notability, please use one of the apropriate tags. Dsmdgold 00:32, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:SBS-Rockwiz-JZemiro-20070303.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Longhair\^talk 19:55, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Your request on AIV

Hi. You put a request on the AIV page regarding blocking access to certain IPs. First thing, that page is not for requests for page protection - that is WP:RPP. Secondly, I'm not an administrator but aside from blocking IPs from Wikipedia, you can't protect a page against certain IPs. You will have to put in a request for page protection (probably semi-protection, but I haven't looked into the issue) and see what is said there. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 13:50, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

This is of-course a quite drab matter: the image uses the same fair use rationale as basically all other football club logos! Any dispute here? -- Oalexander-En 06:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa and Torneio Rio-São Paulo

Hello Oalexander-En!

You added this paragraph in the article Torneio Rio-São Paulo:

"From 1954 the official name of the tournament, which was organized by the state football associations of São Paulo and Guanabara, was Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa, after a former goalkeeper of the Brazilian national team and president of the São Paulo Football Association who died in that year. This name found no broad usage until 1967, when the tournament was opened initially for teams from Minas Gerais, Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul, and later also from Pernambuco und Bahia. This Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa, also often referred to as Taça Orata (Silver Cup) and held until 1970, is generally considered the predecessor of the Brazilian Football Championship which commenced in 1971. However, the national Brazilian Football Association CBF has never given any official reckognition to this tournament."

This means that you think Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa was the name of Torneio Rio-São Paulo before 1971. Do you have any source? Because I found it violates what is said in the Portuguese Wikipedia, and I could not really find any source concerning this issue. Salt (talk) 15:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear colleague from Hong Kong. E.g. rsssfbrasil reports here conclusively. rsssfbrasil is also mentioned as an external link. WP:PT is not always authoritative in its depth of presenting issues. However, there are some other issues, such as Football Ass. of Guanabara (only existed after 1960, when the capital moved to Brasília), Taça Orata should be Taça Prata, and other bits and pieces. I will see to them in due course. Anyway, I greatly enjoyed my visit on your user-page with its splendid exhibition of the most useless user-badges, or what thosese thingies are called. I amused myself no end ;). Thank you for your attention. Please let me know if you have further issues. Very best greetings, Oalexander-En (talk) 11:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
