Orphaned non-free image File:Riskywoods gameover.png

⚠
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Riskywoods gameover.png. 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 04:36, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

HBC Archive Indexerbot

The HBC Archive Indexerbot reports an error "12:13:20 19 September 2010: Not writing to User talk:2/Archive index as I cannot find permission (sourced from: User talk:2)". At that archive index page you have already put some content, that bot won't overwrite. You have to give permission to the bot by initiating the page. Is your intention to create a archive index or keep the current? I can help you to edit configs. --Kslotte (talk) 22:40, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taisha miller

I reverted your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taisha miller. The AFD does not meet the criteria for a Speedy keep/early close. There are still outstanding delete !votes. ~~ GB fan ~~ 17:47, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

I didn't close it as speedy keep, I closed it as a "withdrawal by nominator." My understanding was that the nom could withdraw an AfD at any time during the discussion, and I've done this before without any problems... 2 says you, says two 20:01, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
What you call it doesn't make any difference, you closed the discussion early, that makes it a speedy keep. Since others have !voted delete, your close does not meet the applicability of the guideline. You should go back to the AFD and strike through your nomination to show you no longer feel the article should be deleted. If you disagree you can always raise the question at WT:AFD. ~~ GB fan ~~ 03:58, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: Music Fund

Hi,

I updated the Music Fund page so that the "NGO (which?)" remark is cleared according to my understanding. I also added additional references and improved the reference section's formatting.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Nate Rothacker

Hello 2, I'm pretty sure A7 only applies to articles, so I'm declining your CSD nomination of Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Nate Rothacker for now. If I'm missing something, please let me know. Regards, Airplaneman ✈ 03:14, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I nominate AFC creations for speedy deletion if no further work is done on them after being declined and they meet one of the CSD criteria if they had been created as articles. Had Nate Rothacker been an article, I'm almost certian it would have been huffed by now. 2 says you, says two 03:18, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Kristian Thomas

I'm not quite sure why you tagged it for a hoax; although the claims were exaggerated, the first g-hit was a source that established his existence and notability. I fixed it up a bit and added a reference; it's in no way a model for new articles, but it was salvageable. Thought I'd let you know. The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 03:54, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Oh shit, I must have hit the wrong button in twinkle. It was supposed to be a {{db-bio}} because the references were not substantial coverage. 2 says you, says two 04:49, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
No big deal; I do that with some frequency, I don't know how many times I've accidentally tagged non-notable songs as {{db-a10}}. If I hadn't happened to see a couple other articles that user created, I'd have A7ed it as well, so don't worry, it's not you. I left the user a note telling them to include more/better references, which seems to have had some effect. Thanks!! The Blade of the Northern Lights (話して下さい) 05:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

More helpful reasons?

I appreciate your work at AfC, but if I may comment... Here the reason given is true, but could be more specific - this would be more helpful to authoring editors. As the full text of the tag says "Your submission did not meet our criteria, but if you can address the reasons given, you are encouraged to make improvements and resubmit it." --Lexein (talk) 01:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Altered speedy deletion rationale: KMC Controls

Hello 2. I am just letting you know that I deleted KMC Controls, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 04:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

my sources

Hello 2, 

  You have said on my new article that the sources are not reputable, but they are 2 sources, one is EDU and one is newspaper. Could you please explain what source i am not allowed to use?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Andy_Hollinden
Elika2010 (talk) 17:42, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Sources must be independent and non-trivial, the sources on the IU.edu website are inherently not independent as Dr. Hollinden is a professor at the school. While I couldn't read the entireity of the CD review as its behind a paywall, my understanding is that it is a review of an ensemble he participated in, in general this would not be sufficient by itself for a Wikipedia article as notability is not inherited. Sources aside, it doesn't seem like his contributions satisfy the guidelines in WP:PROF - merely being a tenured professor, even at a major institution is not an indicator of notability in it of itself, but if you can find academic papers he has written and are frequently cited by other musicians or professors, he may be notable. 2 says you, says two 18:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
I see, I understand, I was looking at the .edu being a good source and his personal site not being one, i did not look at with the .edu connection because my main focus of this was to get his MUSIC listed... now if i do edits regarding his MUSIC and not him being a teacher at IU, can is use the .EDU for a reference for his other profession being a musician?


Elika2010 (talk) 21:20, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello again Mr 2... I have read what you said on the article, i dont know how but i forgot to put my main source that he has developed courses at IU, this is the [source here] ... if i added this source does it make him notable enough, and not to mention, he is ALREADY listed on en.wiki as a [Current notable faculty] ... Please review and advise before i waste time and submit my article again, I will also send this to the other person who looked at it today.

About my submission - GoJiyo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/GoJiyo
My previous article submission GoJiyo has been declined saying that, "This suggestion doesn't sufficiently explain the importance or significance of the subject."
Can you explain me why is it so? I have many credible sources for the article direct from the brand/corporate of [Godrej], [GoJiyo], [CNBC-TV18], [Virtualworld] and more.

There are various articles present currently which are of same look & feel. Please review the above mentioned article & advise the appropriate steps. Looking forward for a positive reply. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sashimimoshi (talk • contribs) 11:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
