CIT Speedy Deletion
Hi Pmlinediter,
I noticed that you have marked the article below for speedy deletion:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CampusIT
However, I am the owner of the material from the website. The material published is, as far as I can see, objective; I have only stated the service and listed the clients. I have sent an email containing details of the permission for this text in accordance with WP:OTRS and I am waiting to hear the outcome. Would you be able to advise on what may occur?
Regards,

- If you are the owner of the material, I believe it is likely that the page will stay; though it looks a bit advertising, I'm afraid. Regards, Pmlineditor ∞ 15:17, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Please see my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jan Węglarz. I think the information that I added shows that Jan Węglarz is notable. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:38, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

The Apprentice Australia
Hello, thanks for removing the warning earlier. I have a problem. It's the user User:Mybottomreallyhurts who keeps on editing the record for week 7. I kept undoing the changes he makes but keeps reverting it back. I know this is true and another user 220.101.101.98 agreed and put the results as well. However, I have tried to tell them about this but keeps editing the entry over and over again. Can you help out in any way possible? I know the result because I just saw the show a little over an hour ago. Willbender (talk) 12:46, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I think the series' page is ready for B-class, but I'd like a second opinion. What do you think? Thanks, Airplaneman talk 18:48, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
- It certainly looks good enough to me. If we can get the series' article to GA, then we can take PJO to GT status. :D Pmlineditor ∞ 17:22, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Done!. GT would be great! BTW, I've begun work on taking The Titan's Curse to GA. I'm busy with school but should be able to find more refs this weekend. Airplaneman talk 23:20, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

2010 WikiCup Signups Reconfirmation!
To ensure that everyone who signed up is still committed to participating in the 2010 WikiCup, it is required that you remove your name from this list! By removing your name, you are not removing yourself from the WikiCup. This is simply a way for the judges to take note of who has not yet reconfirmed their participation. If you have not removed your name from that list by December 30th, 2009 (by 23:59 (UTC)) then your name will be removed from the WikiCup.
It's worth noting the rules have changed, likely after you signed up. The changes made thus far are:
- Mainspace and/or portal edits will not be awarded points at all.
- Did you know? articles (which were worth 5 points last year) will now be worth 10 points.
- Good articles (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
- Valued pictures will be now awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
- Featured lists (which were worth 30 points last year) will now be worth 40 points.
- Featured portals (which were worth 25 points last year) will now be worth 35 points.
- Featured articles (which were worth 50 points last year) will now be worth 100 points.
- Featured topics (which were worth 10 points per article last year) will now be worth 15 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
- Good topics (which were worth 5 points per article last year) will now be worth 10 points per any article in the topic that you were a major contributor to.
- In the news will still be awarded points, however the amount (5 or 10 points) is still being discussed.
If you have any final concerns about the WikiCup's rules and regulations, please ask them now, before the Cup begins to avoid last minute problems. You may come to the WikiCup's talk page, or any of the judge's user talk pages. We're looking forwards to a great 2010 WikiCup!

Orphaned non-free image File:Percy titans curse.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Percy titans curse.jpg. 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 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey, old friend it's been a while. I've been busy brushing up on some video games and dealing with moving into high school. I've missed Wikipedia and now, I'm ready to recommit myself. While I've been gone, I was impressed to see that you pr promoted Sea of Monsters and that you truly are serious about this project. So what do you say old friend? Lets finish the series together and put it up for Featured Topic? Sound like fun? Drop me a line anytime, or email me. Peace.----Next-Genn-Gamer 07:10, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!
Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I still don't quite understand what righttovanish is, but yes I don't intend on editing any material, or submitting anything. I wanted to delete my account but seeing as there is no possible way of doing so, I figured I should at least get the name changed to maintain a certain level of privacy.

Please let me know if you got my message, I am quite unfamiliar with how this works. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akhtar.mohammadf (talk • contribs) 06:54, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
RightToVanish or name change?
I will not be editing or submitting any material. I wanted the username changed because I used my own name in it and would like to maintain a certain level of privacy, and if you feel that a RightToVanish would be suitable in this situation than by all means do it just after removing my name to anything random. Basically what is done with the account doesn't matter to be as long as the name's something random.

Novels on signpost
I'm planning to run a feature on Wikiproject Novels on the signpost this week (hopefully!). The plan is to do the report in a q&a format, I'll post a bunch of questions in my userspace and you (along with alan16 and kevinalewis) respond to the questions. If we can get it done by Saturday, the feature would run on the next signpost. Do you have the time (and interest)? Thanks!
Advice?
Sorry to bug you, so I'll keep it short: I want to improve a group of articles on the Hyperion Cantos-a tetralogy by Dan Simmons -(see Category_talk:Novels_by_Dan_Simmons), and I am not sure a) how to add what I want to add, and b) if it is possible to rename some of the articles to improve clarity/show connection/standardize. I'm a new editor, so I really have no clue what I'm doing, and any advice is really appreciated.DriftingLeaf (talk) 15:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
non-free rational on free image
You recently uploaded File:Simplis.png tagged with a nonfree rational and a free license, if you have done this because the upload form added it automatically and you don't believe that the screenshot is non-free then read below.
License for images
When I uploaded the File:Acid3detailSafari4.png and File:Acid3detailMidori0.1.9.png the form asked me if I got that shot from a GPL program, and so the screenshot file is GPL too. I choosed that option uploading the file. I do not understand what I had to write more and in which field of images file, to prevent deleting. Can you help me? Thanks --Efa (talk) 14:19, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
- The files have a free license and a non-free rational.You can't be free and non-free at the same time.Why did you use the non-free rational template, was your intention to uses something like this {{information}} or did you believe that all files need a rational?Btw possible unfree file is not a deletion discution.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:32, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
I never chosed the templete, I followed the guided steps, and the template was chosed automatically.
I describe the procedure I used for upload, so you can explain where is the error:
- clicked to left menu, Upload file, point to https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Upload
- Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source" because the file is a screenshot of a computer program. Point to: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-screenshot&wpUploadDescription={{Non-free use rationale%0A+|Article+++++++++++=+%0A+|Description+++++++=+%0A+|Source++++++++++++=+%0A+|Portion+++++++++++=+%0A+|Low_resolution++++=+%0A+|Purpose+++++++++++=+%0A+|Replaceability++++=+%0A+|other_information+=+%0A}}
- filled the fields, leaving empty the fields not needed, as say here "If you are uploading a screenshot which is not copyrighted (such as freely-licensed software), you do not need to include a fair use rationale."--Efa (talk) 10:44, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm got to talk to someone about that form, ok so here is how things stand only use non-free rational if you are uploading a unfree image ex:screenshot of copyrighted program etc. or image with unfree elements like screenshot of internet explorer (fairuse rational for iexplorer) viewing wikipedia (free wikipedia web page screenshot).The reason it ads a Non-free use rationale by default its because 99% of screenshots uploaded are unfree. So if you want to upload a 100% free image to wikipedia and the standard options give you ex:<Chosed the link "A screenshot taken of a movie, TV program, computer game, web site, computer program, music video, or other such source"> produse a rational by default try the Entirely my own work option. Or better yet if the image is 100% free, upload direct to commons. We are currently in the process of moving all free images to commons and your files will get moved ther eventually anyway.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 11:11, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I hope that more than 1% of the software is uncopyrighted ;-) In any case I'm not using Wiki Commons, because my account has different username there, and my user is busy, so I cannot unify them I also hope that, but we systematically moved and are moving to commons free screen shots and other free stuff so it will get there .Eventually there will bee 1% free stuff on en wikipedia the rest of the 99% free will be on commons.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 05:30, 14 January 2010 (UTC) --Efa (talk) 23:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Free use image template
You have tagged 3 images that I uploaded on Subtext as conflicting license. But that was the default generated wikitext since I used the image upload wizard/script. And the free use template does not exist/has been deleted. I've not intentionally tagged my images as free + nonfree but Wikipedia is designed that way.
So what do you want me to do? -- Tom Jenkins (reply) 14:53, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- If the images are free replace the rational with the {{information}} template and remove the {{conflicted-license}} tag.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 14:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- see License for images section in the 2010 partial collapsible section above--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:02, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks. Images updated. That wizard script needs to change. See if you can get it done. -- Tom Jenkins (reply) 15:15, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
Upload form
{{adminhelp}}
someone please update the upload form so it doesn't add nonfree rational to free screenshots a radio button free non-free that add information and rational respectively or whatever you think is apropriet.See above discussion and License for images section in the 2010 partial collapsible section for reference on the problem.--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 15:19, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
- We already have a notice on the upload form for that (see here). Though I doubt the English Wikipedia will do much else in that regard, you can propose the change at the village pump. Blurpeace 01:41, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::PS.
Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'file' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading!--IngerAlHaosului (talk) 18:48, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
- Commons? What commons? Never heard of it. :P I was new then; thus the error. Pmlineditor ∞ 09:26, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Participation at my RfA
Thank you for taking the time to weigh in on my RfA. It was successful, in that the community's wish not to grant me the tools at this time was honored. I'm taking all the comments as constructive feedback and hope to become more valuable to the project as a result; I've also discovered several new areas in which to work. Because debating the merits of a candidate can be taxing on the heart and brain, I offer this kitten as a low-allergen, low-stress token of my appreciation. --otherlleft 13:31, 8 February 2010 (UTC) |
