I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

Speedy deletion nomination of El Porton School, Barranquitas edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on El Porton School, Barranquitas requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Quiggers1P (talk) 15:31, 10 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:GiGi Diaz.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:GiGi Diaz.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:31, 21 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

9/11 conspiracy theories edit

Hi. Please do not add unsourced material or original research to articles, as you did with your edits to 9/11 conspiracy theories, as Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, or obtained through personal knowledge or observation. I also removed the citation request tag you placed in the article, because a citation is indeed provided at the end of the sentence in question that supports that material. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 17:15, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Can you be more specific? The NIST investigation scope correction is based in the same source that was already cited. The photo description is sourced on the photo itself. Stapler80 (talk) 17:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
Nevermind, I read the history and I see your point. Stapler80 (talk) 18:02, 22 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:GiGi Diaz.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:GiGi Diaz.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. We hope (talk) 16:11, 24 July 2011 (UTC)Reply


I have been away from WIKipedia because I was faced with bullying. Not worth my time to endure dramaqueens.

I read your message today. I feel your reason for denying the file is ciclycal. Have you replaced the file? Your reason for deletion sounds to me as a trigger happy deletion prone editor. The fair use claim was proper. The denial was unreasonable as you have proposed no reasonable source of freely available replacement. Your correction path is ridiculous as it puts me in a position to state "I found no reasonable replacement source", restating the obvious. And if that explanation is insufficient then your fair use policy is unachievable dead letter.Stapler80 (talk) 14:29, 19 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Stapler80/El Porton School edit

 

A tag has been placed on User:Stapler80/El Porton School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Your draft article, Draft:El Porton School edit

 

Hello, Stapler80. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "El Porton School".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Dolotta (talk) 14:15, 2 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
