Order of the German Eagle edit

I've tried to redirect the above article to the German Wikipedia for some strange reason it didn't work. Could you please translate the article? Thanks. MER-C 12:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:400px Service Cross of the German Eagle.JPG edit

Thanks for uploading Image:400px Service Cross of the German Eagle.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:

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. 13:04, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

Fourth Rome edit

Please be aware that wikipedia has a policy of no original research. Your article will be deleted, so please don't waste your time. `'mikka (t) 09:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Never ever do what you did in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fourth Rome or you will be immediately blocked from editing. `'mikka (t) 10:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

You rush to conclusions. We do not live in a world as fast as you do. Come back tomorrow or next week to judge what is fit for deletion and what is not.Spespatriae 10:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
This is your another warning: please don't delete technical things without reading the corresponding policies. As for deletion, once again: wikipedia is not a place for personal essays. I gather you ignored my advice to read the listed policies. `'mikka (t) 15:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
You added this "technical thingy" of yours on the article based on your subjective interpretation what it was going to be about - after fifteen minutes from the exstance of the title. Let me remind you that wikipedia is and never will be a collection of finnished articles over agreed issues. IMHO you have acted as a bully and over reached your powers as a moderator for wikipedia. In fact you have acted as a censor.
Fine, I don't have any reference to Fourth Rome other than that what the monk said of the possibilety ofd ever having a fourth Rome, an early soviet poem and an American fantasy sci-fi novel from 1996. There is no "Fourth Rome" in any political accounts. But since there was a claim for succession after Constantinople, a Third Rome, why wasn't there any attempt to find a new Rome after the fall of Holy Roman Empire and Russian Empire? The point is that this claim was essentially legal legitimation for Muskovite expansionist policies, especially towards Istanbul. These claims had no validity after the renaissance and Age of reason and theory of social contract. So delete the article. Spespatriae 15:39, 12 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image source problem with Image:American_National_Bird.gif edit

 
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:American_National_Bird.gif. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 19:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 19:30, 16 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Egg butter edit

 

The article Egg butter has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable, non-sourced stub

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sander Säde 10:52, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi Spespatriae. I've added an image and three references and have expanded the article slightly. I removed the "Proposed deletion" tag, although the article may still be taken to AfD if the editor who placed it remains unconvinced of the subject's notability. Best wishes, Voceditenore (talk) 12:01, 12 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
@Voceditenore: Thanks for saving Egg butter from the bit-bucket. I hope Spespatriae will start contributing again since stopping in 30 November 2013. Happy editing. XOttawahitech (talk) 15:08, 13 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
