Your submission at Articles for creation
editI noticed your submission in Articles for creation, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Vincent J.Dunker. Thanks! It will be reviewed by a volunteer soon.
Before it can be added to Wikipedia, your submission should have references. All articles on Wikipedia should have inline, numbered references after facts, showing the 'reliable source' (a newspaper, book, etc.) where the information can be checked, so that all information is verifiable.
Here's an example of how to add references:
He likes tea.<ref> Smith, John. "[http://foonews.com/Article42 Interview with Chzz]", Foo News, 1 April 2010. Retrieved 2011-05-22. </ref>
== References ==
{{reflist}}
That makes the references automatically display as small numbers[1] which will link to the details in the section titled == References == at the end. You can see that example in action here.
Please add references to your submission, which will be reviewed as soon as possible. See also, Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners. If you need any help, just put {{helpme}} at the end of this page, followed by a question or get into our live help chat chanel at #wikipedia-en-help connect.

Article submission, Rodger Carter
The article was written entirely by myself without any cut and pastes from any other document. The references I provided are there to demonstrate the veracity of the submission. URLs were provided in most cases so that the reader can easily check the sources from which the statements in the article originated. The only reference without a URL was for a book and a complete citation was made for that book so that it can easily be checked at most any library.
As to use of web sites, most everything is now searchable on the web. This does not mean that information was generated by a particular web site, but that it has merely become part of the vast amount of material that has been scanned or otherwise made available to researchers by being placed on the web. For example, citation 18 refers to a Dunker advertisement in the March 1936 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine with the page number given as usual in a citation. The URL allows the reader to go immediately to the site where that monthly issue was scanned and to verify the information for himself. This is the case with almost all of the material cited in my article. The only items not cited in this way are photographs which I have gathered on my own web site, dchis.com, most of which are scans from vintage Dunker flyers, or two scans from a book used with permission. If URLs cannot be used to direct readers to the material being discussed so that it can be verified, then it would seem that wikipedia itself is not to be considered a reliable source since it is a URL based enterprise.
If the reviewer would be more specific about which prose is considered to be improper, I believe I can demonstrate otherwise. Likewise the URL references. If the reviewer would prefer to discuss this by email I can be reached at carterrodger@hotmail.com.

I have added CC-BY-SA-3.0 to the top and bottom of the Dunker biography which I wrote and which is attached to the the 1950s page of my web site, DigiCamHistory.Com. A condensed version of that biography page was used for my submission to wikipedia for a wikipedia biography of Mr. Dunker. RodgerCarter
Dunker
editI have created a redirect VE-JA-DE Cameras and added it to Category:Photography companies (which achieves what you wanted at cfd - you can't add Dunker himself to the category as he was not a company). Oculi (talk) 19:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
- Look at Category:Photography companies - you will see VE-JA-DE Cameras there, which takes you to the company section of the Dunker article. Oculi (talk) 15:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Naeger Dunker photoSmB.jpg
editA tag has been placed on File:Naeger Dunker photoSmB.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 19:48, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
