Any reason to remove my protection request?
Why did you remove my request for protection for the feyli page? It was a legitimate request for protection from vandalism. Can you state the reason? 5.150.236.238 (talk) 15:11, 10 November 2013 (UTC) You have it entirely backwards. I was trying to remove vandalism edits by a vandal. I was filing for protection for a page when you removed it. Look at the previous edits in the feyli page, and look at the history of the contributions by the same user whose edits I removed. You have no case here. The same person whose edits you're protecting has insistently made tendetious edits and vandalized the feyli page for months now. The user has broken consensus and dispute resolution guidelines there are. 5.150.236.238 (talk) 15:15, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Iñigo, I edited your information on Kick Ass because I thought the information was relevant. The narrator spends the first minutes of the metrage telling us how he becomes kick ass. This is also important to understand how he is taken for a gay. I thoght this contributed to the understanding of how the character was formed. Moreover, this didn't seem to me a spoiler. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.146.74.103 (talk) 09:28, 6 November 2013 (UTC)
On R1a1 and ANI ASI
Dear Aleksa thank u 4 bringing the paper but a single paper which is yet to be published can not be atributed to the claims you made by surpassing numerous same conclusions indicated by various peer scientists before on R1a1, yes the paper have gravity! so i have put it in the R1a1 section with the main sentence not the whole abstract! ANI ASI: the paper concludes major! not original admixture time! and the Reich et al. Have indicated ANI to be 40-45kya in indian genome so please do not erase that too. Wishing you good times. Nirjhara (talk) 03:48, 24 September 2011 (UTC) Gd tms.

Re: Locking my user and talk page
I have semi-protected your userpage as per your request, however will not protect your user talk page. User talk pages are the primary means for other editors to contact you - if this page is protected, that prevents good-faith anonymous editors from getting in touch with you. In cases of severe vandalism, you can request temporary protection at WP:RFPP, however in looking at the history I don't see that this is the case right now.

Why this reversion?
Hi. Why did you make this reversion of a relevant reply to a question at WP:REFUND#Monolith Software? JohnCD (talk) 21:47, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Well, my system is now working much slower than usual, also the script is bugging right now.
- That edit did not pass Huggle edit filter (user is not in whitelist, script didn't ask me "Are you sure...?", and, at last, revision was yellow marked which means potential unconstructive editing), and it first looks like an advertisement (copy + paste "We are the best company ..."). That could be explained as my try to revert (those the biggest) vandalism as quickly as possible. But, my slow computer (plus script bugging) could not work that fast. I tried to rely on my script, and therefore I didn't invest enough time in reading edits. :( But, I've, also, reverted most common vandalism, tests and other unconstructive edits. Regards, Alex discussion ★ 22:00, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
This edit of yours was clearly a mistake. Please try to be more careful. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:49, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, means space. Am I right? Considering this, I will take a mid-wiki break. I hope I will be in better situation (in aspect of computer speed) until then. Best regards! Alex discussion ★ 22:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks Alex. Herbolzheim (talk) 23:08, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
My opinion in this case, was that WP:INCUBATION for something that can be worked on by other while "waiting in the wings" out of article space could be better than an outright deletion. At the above AFD you wrote that you concurred with my comments. Might you wish to <s>strikethrough</s> your delete and/or change it to "Incubate"? Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 22:26, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- OK, but what's the different? If ever occur a reliable source (what I do not believe), we would easy re-create the article. Alex discussion ★ 11:51, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thanks for updating your AFD comment. Deletion carries a negative onus, and recreation of a deleted article (specially if done by an inexperienced editor) could have it "G4" speedied and re-enforce that negativity. The Incubator is a "holding area" that allows continued collaborative work so that when ready the whole thing can be returned to mainspace with its edit history intact. As I have experience with the Incubator,[1] I can assure you, there is far less work required to tune up something that is simply biding its time, than that needed to recreate a new article from scratch. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 03:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Hello. I have removed the CSD tag that you placed on the page Rintsikoita ja luudanvarsia because it does not appear to me to be a test page. It appears to be an article about a children's book written in the Finnish langauge. The CSD criteria that relate to notability do not apply to books, so if you still think it should be deleted I think you'll have to send it to PROD or AfD. Please let me know if you think that I am mistaken. Thank you. James500 (talk) 13:54, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
your sig
Hello! I noticed your signature is rather distracting, in that the "Alex" portion is quite big. This disrupts the flow of the surrounding text. I see that Wikipedia:Signatures#Appearance and color supports me in saying size tags should be avoided where it has this effect. Could you please make it a little smaller? Thanks, sonia♫ 01:26, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- That's probably because you do not have font named Bickham Script Pro Semibold, which is unreadable at lower pixel sizes. I'm sorry, do not have a solution :( Alex discussion ★ 14:45, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- The solution is not to use Bickham Script Pro Semibold in your sig. :-) Harry the Dog WOOF 14:49, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
I second this. The font you mention is very rare on Windows machines, which is the operating system used by most Wikipedia editors. We see your signature as something like
Please change your signature to use a more commonly-available font, and at the same time reduce the font size. — This, that, and the other (talk) 06:47, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry for the mistake.
This is in reference to this edit of mine. I'm really sorry for committing the error; but it was unintentional. Actually, I intended to copy the Wiki code from my Discussion page to that of [User:Prasannjit.gondchawar] and make the necessary edits. But in a hurry, I forgot to edit the username! That resulted in the reverting of my edit. Sorry again! --Siddhant Bhaware (talk) 17:52, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
Vandalism warning
Please see User talk:Soulauthor. Drmies (talk) 18:17, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, I didn't thought it was vandalism. Certainly, that's not a pure vandalism. I just wanted to share my concerns with administrators, who have more experience, and therefore could know better what to do... Alex discussion ★ 18:27, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Srecko Sojic.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Srecko Sojic.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Query about revert speed
Hey Aleksa,
I'm unclear as to why you reverted my edit to the International School of Boston, the text I removed was not about the school at all and really wasn't close to NPOV either. I noticed that you made 4 edits that minute, so I'm curious as to whether you read through the text that I had removed and considered the WP:COATRACK guideline before reverting? 78.187.196.18 (talk) 14:23, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- I would not say that huge text is completely non-useful. You should leave every text that could be useful for the theme of the article, as I can see you removed a lot of text that is, actually, related to the article. Think about it. Alex discussion ★ 14:31, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry, but whether something is useful or somewhat related to the article is not the criteria for inclusion in an article. Text should be about the subject of the article, in a neutral voice, and cited to a reliable source. Simply saying, X school teaches bilingual education education and then droning on about how important bilingual education is not a neutral treatment of the subject. Besides, if the information is included in wikilinks to other articles, why does it need to be in the school article?
(Also, slow down on those reverts--you will make more mistakes if you edit too quickly). 78.187.196.18 (talk) 07:08, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
While I agree that it doesn't look very notable, I've declined your speedy under A7. A7 is for things containing people, like, err, people, and clubs, companies, knitting circles, Churches (but not churches...) and grapefruit juggling teams, but not schools. It's also for web based stuff, for some odd reason. EPs are products and have to be prodded or AfDed (unless there is undeniable spam which makes anything speediable). Records can be speedied if the performer is a redlink. This one ain't, but I'm not quite sure why. Panyd seems to be. Peridon (talk) 13:15, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Your message
Hello, just read your message on my talk page, but I don't understand what you mean. Denisarona (talk) 09:25, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- That means it's recommend to warn uncostructive editors (for them to know that's not good for eg.). They must be correctly warned before reporting them to WP:AIV, if we would never warn them they'll never stop. I hope you understand. Cheers! Alex discussion ★ 09:30, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- I normally leave warning messages & I still don't understand what your point is. Denisarona (talk) 09:36, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for your non-response!! Denisarona (talk) 09:35, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry if I'm wrong, but at the time, I noticed you didn't warn following users on 13 September 2011: 216.243.212.217, 216.243.212.217, that means you don't "normally warn users". What is so non-understandable in here? Alex discussion ★ 12:39, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- I issued a warning to 216.243.212.217 following my revert at 13:46.
- With regard to 207.74.26.190 a final warning was issued at 13:43. My revert was at 13:45 and so I could not issue any further meaningful warnings.
- The word normally means normally and not 'always'.
- A quick check shows that you made a number of reverts on 13 September and you didn't issue warnings to the relevant editors.
- What is not understandable is why you are issuing instructions to me when you don't seem to observe the same instructions.
Denisarona (talk) 14:35, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- I usually don't issue a warning when the edit is not crossing harmful limit, when the editor hasn't been warned before. Arguments you told seems to be ad hominem. However, it is my mistake. I'm sorry. Alex discussion ★ 14:40, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

The article School hygiene has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Poorly sourced original research or synthesis
While all 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. Moogwrench (talk) 00:54, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- Your source is a offline, non-English medical book. That is what I mean by poorly sourced. Your external links in English do not refer to your topic "School hygiene" except in a tangential way (in relation to Staph infection, not as a topic all by themselves), or they have to do with factors that go beyond "hygiene" (which I count as professional or personal practices that enhance health and specifically prevent disease) to sanitation, building design, etc. This is not "hygiene" as is evidenced by your UNICEF source which is actually entitled: "Water, sanitation and hygiene in schools" (so water and sanitation are not hygiene, otherwise that title would be redundant). Hence, awkward formulations, like these: "According to the standards, in a city, school must be located at least 100 meters far to main traffics, to avoid harm affection of noise, exhaust gases and possibility of accident. As for villages, school must be 2 km far to traffics." Again, this is not "school hygiene". It appears mostly to be a WP:COATRACK I would appreciate you telling me what your justification for all that is, instead of thinking that I was joking when I PROD'd it. Moogwrench (talk) 01:41, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- First, many science, medical or school books have verified correct information (they must be affirmed by The Ministry of Education what is very valuable), but they don't have the electronic edition. I found the article from University of Belgrade, School of Medicine about this topic. In Serbia, Shkolska higijena (translated of school hygiene, hygiene in school) is the common name, but I don't know what is the most common name in English speaking countries... Then, sanitation and building are strongly connected to hygiene, because well condition of environment (clean one) and well-built structures could be a good step in prevention of many diseases hygiene studies, “professional or personal practices that enhance health and specifically prevent disease” is one of the main points of hygiene. As for bad wording in some passages, I'm not that well English speaker, but my friend, who is perfect one, could help me, or you can do so...? I'm don't getting your connection to WP:COATRACK, because in that article I've written one clear definition, told points of hygiene in school, and then started a specific thematic related to school hygiene (about how school environment affects to health of students; all those facts can be found in book). If you ask me, proposing for quick deletion is too radical act in this situation – in worst case you could simply redirect that page to hygiene. Alex discussion ★ 03:20, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
- Well, since the AfD failed, I wanted to say a few things. In reality, as I said in my nomination, the existence of the article School hygiene was not so much the issue as getting a notability-confirming source, which we did, and the copyedit issues, which I and others have tried to work on. Let's try to work together to make this a great article... What I need your help on is expanding the use of "school hygiene" in a modern context, something that we don't really have over here in the US, at least. Maybe you have access/can understand some other resources (in Serbian, perhaps) that bring that modern spin to this older term, and we can find a way to work it into the article. Maybe you can write the text and I can help copyedit it for you. I hope that you agree with what I have done so far with the article, you can see my note on the talk page. Anyways, drop me a note on my talk page and let me know what you think. Also, I see you already noticed the new article American School Hygiene Association--I figured I had done so much research into the origins of "school hygiene" in the US I might as well use the information for something constructive. Cheers, Moogwrench (talk) 21:22, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
Nomination of School hygiene for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article School hygiene is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/School hygiene until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Moogwrench (talk) 05:33, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
Your revert there was perfectly justified (in my opinion), but the Huggle tag you used was "unexplained deletion...", while, in reality, the problem was unexplained addition of material from "2nd millennium". Please be more careful.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, as there have been some anomalies lately in which the edit I thought I was reverting was actually the reverse of what I thought it was. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 17:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
... has over 6,000 transclusions, which is quite high, so I'm not particularly keen on downgrading it to semi-protection. But feel free to ask at WP:RFPP to see what the admins more regularly involved in protection issues think. Regards, BencherliteTalk 22:22, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Greg Parys
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 Greg Parys 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 a person or group of people, 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". 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. Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:42, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
Undone Changes on Organic_solar_cell?
Hi Alex, just noticed that you quickly undid my changes on the article on Organic_solar_cell. The reason why I added a list of companies is that at the moment there is no such list, but many startups around. I am working in the OPV community (no, not for any of those companies) and have often been asked to provide such a list. As I don't have the time to watch for new companies in this field and others have spotted new companies I haven't heard of, the wikipedia article is probably the best place to keep an updated list. It's probably best, if you revert the version, because if I do it, you might undo it immediately, again;-). The Organic_solar_cell article in general needs an update and I hope to find some time soon to that, but hopefully these changes won't be undone that quickly... 141.30.87.136 (talk) 17:23, 4 October 2011 (UTC).

Declined speedy deletion
I have just declined your speedy deletion request of Julio Castillo Narváez. The multiple news stories covering his death more than meet the requirements of WP:CSD#A7.

Clarification
Hi there, Alex. Thanks very much for the kind words in my RfA. :) I'm about to get to your other question, but just a minor request for clarification. When you say "tell me something about it", would you like to hear something from the article itself, or do you want to hear something related to the article's construction? I assume its the first option but I just want to make sure. Swarm 11:56, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
- Eh, I'll just do both, how's that sound? :D Answer forthcoming. Swarm 19:56, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
- Oh, hi homie :) I would like if you write primary about article's construction (although article's topic is important as well), 'cause that will show your skill level in article grounds; just relax, and be bold :)

A sockpuppet's discussion
is a film produced by Ram Gopal Varma and directed by Vamsy the article is notable enough, not every Indian film would be reviewed by critics. Thanx (Vensatry234 (talk) 11:40, 15 October 2011 (UTC)).
- OK, I don't feel doubt about it, but you need to add information that will more likely explain why the article is notable, unless you do that, I afraid the article will be deleted. Tip: if the film gained any awards, was screened at glorious festivals, then insert that information! Alex discussion ★ 11:44, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
Notability is already established. (In that It is the list if filmography in Ram Gopal Varma Template. This article needs additional citations for verification. Notability is different from Sources. Please check this with experiences users, if ur an amateur. I am in the process of citing published sources (Vensatry234 (talk) 11:48, 15 October 2011 (UTC)).
- Please calm down. As you are the one who is relatively new on the Wikipedia, you need to be patient. First, you cannot remove AfD tags from pages proposed for deletion, until article's discussion is closed. If you believe the article should not be deleted, you can write on article's deletion discussion, listed on the tag. Regards, Alex discussion ★ 11:53, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Imh belgrade.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Imh belgrade.jpg, which you've sourced to As already claimed: http://imh.org.rs/ <-- the logo is then still copyrighted. Try WP:fair use instead. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.
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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.

Warnings
No warnings are required to block a user. We prefer to have graduated warnings, but there is no polic requirement. The more active the editor, the more serious the disruption, the more likely that fewer (or no) warnings will be given. You may be confused by the oft stated rejection at AIV, "user insufficiently warned" which is a valid reason for rejecting a block request, which is basically what AIV is. However, in cases of blatant vandalism, often no warnings at all are given, and in the case of rapid and repeated disruption, fewer warnings are often the case. Blocks are preventative; this editor was not engaging and was continuing the disruptive editing. Now, he must engage if he wishes to be unblocked, and hopefully will pledge to follow policies and become a productive editor. KillerChihuahua?!? 21:04, 19 October 2011 (UTC)
- I know that, but no one has sent him a warning of 3 or higher level warning, where there are notations about possible block, and so he maybe didn't know he will be blocked. Alex discussion ★ 11:31, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Teen Titans (TV Series) Citation
Dear Aleksa,
I recently added two citations to the wikipedia page on the Teen Titans TV Series at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Titans_(TV_series) under the i.p. of 137.132.3.10
The citations were rolled back by you. These two citations were video links demonstrating the veracity of the information in the sentence. I have created my account simply to tell you that these edits are legitimate citations, and not spam. The previous I.P. address is the address of the public institution I am currently at.

Hello, man, and welcome to Wikipedia. It might be you didn't know, but Wikipedia doesn't consider Facebook, YT and co. as reliable sources. Moreover, Wikipedia must limit their addition (especially in article space), due to copyright violations on those websites. Just be careful while adding links to YouTube or similar sites... Alex discussion ★ 13:28, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the welcome. I understand the issue with reliability and possible copyright violations. I completely agree that my link to the facebook video is unlikely to meet those guidelines.
From what I understand however, wikipedia doesn't entirely regard youtube links as unreliable per se. On their webpage on reliable source material examples, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_source_examples, they do clarify that if the youtube video can be authenticated (for example, when published by the original copyright holder), then they CAN be regarded as primary source material.
Therefore, with regards to the latter youtube link, it is an advert put up by the official account of DC Entertainment TV advertising the upcoming Teen Titans TV Shorts. Hence, copyright violations are unlikely to be in issue and the reliability of the material is also likely to be sound.
Granted, the commercial doesn't prove everything stated in the paragraph i.e. the part on having the same voice actors. However, it does show that the series is indeed being revived in 2012 and it displays the teen titans in chibi form. Furthermore, one of the tags inserted by the video publisher is "teen titans", suggesting that the series revival is highly probable. In fact, the wikipedia page on DC Nation Shorts also cites the same video as the source for their statement on the Teen Titans' revival: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Nation_Shorts#Teen_Titans (at footnote 8)
If the sentence on having the same voice actors is edited with a request for citations and the youtube link cited at the end of the first sentence, would the changes be acceptable? Also, I can add links to articles by reputable entertainment websites such as IGN: http://tv.ign.com/articles/121/1212575p1.html. However, I feel that these additional citations do not add extra value beyond the primary video source, as they merely comment on the very same youtube video link which I have cited.
Yours sincerely, Txingji2 (talk) 14:17, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
Merging pages Acidaminococcaceae and Veillonellaceae to Negativicutes
I decided to merge the wikipages Acidamniococcaceae and Veillonellaceae because its desciption was emended and accepted in 2010 by the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) and listed in the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) to that of Class Negativicutes, Order Selenomonadales and families Veillonellaceae and Acidaminococcaceae.
Also the wikipage Veillonellaceae contains all the genera of the newly emended class Negativicutes containing both families Veillonellaceae and Acidaminococcaceae. Therefore I reasoned that the genera circumscription of the wikipage Veillonellaceae is the exactly the same as that of the wikipage Negativicutes, but the wikipage Negativicutes has more references and a detailed 16S rRNA-based LTP phylogeny.
Both wikipages Acidamniococcaceae and Veillonellaceae has the same one reference. So why not make the wikipage Negativicutes the destination page for both? Videsh Ramsahai (talk) 16:07, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Romana (singer).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Romana (singer).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:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - 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. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:29, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}

Over hasty AFD
The Latvian Association for Support of Disabled People may well not be notable, however in cases like this where it's not a copyvio, attack page, vandalism or whatever, nominating for AFD just two minutes after the page has been created is bad form and is likely to be discouraging for the editor who created it. Not every editor has developed content in the first revision, so in such cases, it's best to give them a while to work on it before nominating it. Valenciano (talk) 18:05, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- OK. But, well, the user didn't put under construction template, so I made a decision based on what I saw. I'm willing to give a chance to user to well establish the article, but how long should we wait before the article is definitely finished and therefore capable for nominating? Alex discussion ★ 18:12, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- Completely new editors like that are very unlikely to know about under construction templates. I'd wait a few hours minimum in cases like that, maybe drop a message on their talk page advising them of the need to reference it before AFD? Valenciano (talk) 18:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, I missed that. I didn't know he was new, and I thought it was the final edition of the page. I'll inform the user, and remove the tag for now. I'd like to put discussion on hold also. Do you know how to do it? Alex discussion ★ 19:10, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

AfD
Hi. I'm sorry to say that I've reverted your close at Roman Catholic teachings on pacifism and Just War. While it looks certain for a Delete result, I'll quote you the a rule about non-admin closure: "Non-administrators should not close discussions in which they lack the technical ability to act upon the outcome.". As you can't delete it, you shouldn't close it. It was a little soon, too, as discussions are usually open for seven days. (Unless you get ten or known editors so who all !vote according to policy...) You can close certain Keeps, especially where the nominator withdraws, or Deletes where an admin has already deleted the article. In the first case, you don't have to do anything and in the second, there's nothing to do either as it's been done. If there's a total vote for Merge, watch out as you might be landed with actually doing it. I only ever closed certain Keeps before I got the mop, and I mainly close ones where I've deleted the article (I try to be tidy), or where the deleter has forgotten the AfD bit. It's good to get some practice in, if you have thoughts of becoming an admin. (I did many of the things thought necessary without even thinking about becoming an admin - then someone mailed me and suggested it...) I never close a Merge result, as I haven't got a clue about how to do it. Even admins don't know everything... <8-( Peridon (talk) 16:34, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for your polite message. As far as I know discussion period last at least one week or longer, and the article was proposed on Tuesday early in the morning, so technically it wasn't too soon? (Or we should wait for more opinions to determine the fate of the article.) I noticed that my other non-admin closure when the result was 'delete' was well received and the article was deleted, so I thought this could be the case with other AfDs. So, anyway, until I get a mop I can only close certain 'keeps' where votes are according to policy (and I need to put appropriate template on the talk page)? Thank you for your advises. And, yes I would like to become an admin; I'm planning to do what I was doing last few days for a half of year or a year (taking part in AfDs, AfC, vandalism fighting, reporting, helping new users etc.), before applying; so do you have any other personal suggestion and do you think I will have chance? Regards. Alex discussion ★ 17:14, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- I've contacted Metropolitan90 about this - either I'm wrong or he didn't notice. Without looking through your contribs, I'd say yes, those areas are important. Also, have a look at the boards - AN, ANI, VP, and even VP Tech (where I like to stir things now and then...). Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion is good too. Keep up with the speedy criteria and help to mould them. An important thing at RfA for an influential minority is content creation. I got away with two stubs, but some of them rabbit on about FAs, GAs and DYKs. These are nothing whatever to do with admin buttons, but if you have or can get any of those it will help. Take part in RfA discussions and learn from them. Avoid confrontation - that's good advice for everyone... Watch what goes on in CAT:UNB - you can't really DO anything much there except possibly sort out formatting, but you can learn a lot. Same at CAT:CSD.

Tip
If someone blanks a page, check if they are the only substantial contributor. Adding cats, correcting typos, tagging etc don't count as substantial content contribs. If they are, then tag G7. If they tag G7 themselves, do the check and leave the tag in place if it's right. Only remove it if they aren't the only contributor of content. Problems arise with IPs. Is the IP the author or not? I tend to assume not (and leave it alone). Sometimes it IS obvious (from edit summaries, etc). (Took me a while to understand blanking and G7 - I reverted some before I got the hang of it.)

BLPPRODs
Hello. Please check out the rules of WP:BLPPROD: it says "To place a BLPPROD tag, the process requires that the article contain no sources in any form (as references, external links, etc.), which support any statements made about the person in the biography." At Francisco Portillo (footballer), you placed a BLPPROD within three minutes of the article being created, which is a bit quick off the mark, but the real problem is you placed it when the article already contained three sources, in the References section, which supported pretty well all the content of the article. Keep up the good work, but please take enough time to be sure you're getting it right. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:14, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- To add something, Prod BLP is to make sure that a BLP has at least something there. It's nothing to do with significance or notability. I wouldn't necessarily count those links as passing [[WP:RS] any more than IMDb does. Peridon (talk) 19:14, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Just for information, should either of you ever come across those sites in future in a reliability context: ceroacero.es and its national variants (footballzz.co.uk etc) are user-edited, so isn't WP:RS; I have no evidence either way about BDFA; but soccerway is considered RS. It's published by Global Sports Media, which according to their about page is "the Sports Information Division of the PERFORM Group" (their about page) and supplies digital content to governing bodies, clubs, etc. As such can be presumed to have the "reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" required at WP:RS. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 19:29, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- I'm sorry. Apparently, I thought BLPPROD count as "no references" articles without <ref></ref> references... So, as "references" count any RS provided? Alex discussion ★ 19:49, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- No harm done. But at the BLPPROD stage, we don't have to decide whether sources are RS or not. If there are any sources at all, RS or not, in whatever form, then we can't use a BLPPROD. I assume it's so that people patrolling pages can make a simple quick decision without having to use judgment (or guesswork) about reliable sources: are there any sources at all? no sources = BLPPROD, some sources = use a tag such as
{{BLP sources}}
or{{notability}}
, or make a judgment as to whether an ordinary PROD would be appropriate. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 20:27, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

We noticed though that when you edited Identity theft in the United States, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Identity (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Friendly reminder
Heya just wanted to drop by with a friendly reminder that sometimes it's a good idea when using huggle to check out the article history with certain kinds of edits. This revert definitely looked at first glance to be vandalism, but the article history shows that the edit that was reverted was actually restoring the long-term version of the article (see for example this revision from Jan 2012). Because that kind of thing is, unfortunately, not that uncommon, it's often a good idea to glance at the article's history if you see that kind of edit being made. Cheers.

- No problemo. I started discussion on the article's talk page. I suppose that is correct way for seeking community consensus. Cheers. Alex discussion ★ 14:54, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

One for you to look at, if you get a moment. I've labelled it Croatian, but Google Translate works with it more or less the same in both Croatian and Serbian. Peridon (talk) 14:59, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, I read it, please delete it, it's an obvious hoax, I've described in detail on the nomination page. Cheers. Alex discussion ★ 15:19, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for that. Google Translate is OK for some things, but there's nothing like having a speaker of the language have a look. Have I suggested you keeping an eye on WP:PNT? We get a few Serbian etc articles popping up there - that's where I came across this one. Peridon (talk) 15:29, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Incidentally, the earlier stages of this weren't as blatant, and could have been mistranslated. It's got worse as the day's gone on. Peridon (talk) 15:32, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll try to help out there. PS Check your mail, I've sent you a message. Cheers. Alex discussion ★ 13:10, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

- For anyone reading this who doesn't speak Serbian, this is titled "Help" and it says "Help me out here". It is against Wikipedia policy to ask for support when making controversial edits. It is in violation of Wikipedia:Canvassing. Regards IJA (talk) 10:08, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Marilyn E. Jacox
Hi there -
I received a message this morning, that she passed away on October 30st this year. Therefore I changed the Wikipedia article to 'was an A.. physicist'. I think this is fully justified and I do not appreciate and do not understand your revert. Please explain. --77.58.4.163 (talk) 11:43, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, it seemed like a non-constructive edit since there was no year of dead provided, I've returned the revision as soon as I could. Alex discussion ★ 04:55, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi Aleksa. Just letting you know that I've declined the speedy deletion tag you placed on this article, as it has substantial differences from the version that was deleted. I've no objection if you want to file another AFD for the page, though. Yunshui 雲水 11:49, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Jutarnji
Also, I added some things because Jutarnji is a newspaper well known for promoting Yugonostalgia and Serbophilia through its columnist like Ante Tomić, Davor Butković and so on.
There is also controversies regarding its curently relations which I had the attempt to add in the section. Davor Butković is known campaigner for the former PM Sanader and as such is under heavy critics of the public. Also, please dont erase my contents.
With Regards and have a nice day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.136.107.23 (talk) 15:40, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
Vandalism?
Excuse me, but how does correcting the plural form of the Japanese noun anime (almost all Japanese nouns are mass nouns) constitute vandalism and on what grounds did you revert the correction of the plural form of that noun? 24.149.119.20 (talk) 17:02, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
