Notability of Sky larkin

A tag has been placed on Sky larkin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Andante1980 (talk) 15:46, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Skylarkinpromopicture1.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Skylarkinpromopicture1.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. 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 23:42, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Adding Sky Larkin to a wikiproject

You should consider adding the article to an appropriate WikiProject so that you can attract more attention from editors who are experienced in the subject. Take a look at WikiProject Alternative Music. They can advise you on demonstrating the notability of the subject, and give you good feedback.

To add the article to the wikiproject, put the {{WikiProject Alternative music}} template on the article talk page
To become a member of the project yourself, put the {{User Wikiproject Alternative Music}} template on your user page

Give me a shout either here or on my talk page if I can help with anything. (I assume you've guessed who I am in reality!) Papa November (talk) 11:45, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Casimir cones

I have nominated Casimir cones, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Casimir cones. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Image copyright problem with File:Lemurs 2009 mandjhouse.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Lemurs 2009 mandjhouse.JPG. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Human Centipede (First Sequence)

A tag has been placed on The Human Centipede (First Sequence) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hello, Coolug. You have new messages at Papa November's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Pacsafe

Hi Coolug. I declined your speedy deletion nomination of this article. In my opinion, it is written in a neutral and informative way, and provides inline citations. Take the article to AfD, if you disagree. Thank you. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

To my mind I thought the article seemed a little overly promotional but knew that as only an admin could actually physically delete it there would be a review by a much more experienced editor first. Thanks for messaging me with your comments. cya Coolug (talk) 09:43, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Looks pretty promotional to me. At best, there's no indication of why the company is notable. There are no references to independent sources. Take it to AFD if you like. Papa November (talk) 10:09, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

stuck an advert tag on it, that'll do for time being, might do more later if nowt changes. Coolug (talk) 10:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Foreign-language articles

Hi. When you find a foreign-language article like Wirtualny pokój danych and have an idea what the language might be, you can use, e.g. {{notenglish|Polish}}. That produces a more useful template with links to the Polish Wikipedia and to Google Translate, so that you can get an idea what the article is about. In fact, this is a good way to confirm identification of the language - click "Show Preview" and then "Google Translate", and if it provides a reasonably clear English version, you have probably guessed right. I have even managed to identify Farsi (as opposed to Arabic) this way, though I am completely ignorant of the languages and their alphabet.

Also, it's a good idea to give the author a welcome template like {{subst:welcome}} if he hasn't had one, and there are useful templates to ask him to use English and point him to the relevant other Wikipedia, e.g. {{subst:contrib-pl1}} produces:

Proszę, nie pisz artykułów po polsku na angielską Wikipedię. Artykuły po polsku są milej widziane na polskiej Wikipedii.
Please do not contribute text in Polish to English Wikipedia. Your contributions are more than welcome at Polish Wikipedia.

There is a list of those at WP:PNT/T. I think many users are unaware that there are WPs in other languages.

Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:38, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. I'm a bit new at this recent changes stuff so still not aware of every procedure yet. Shall do this with any future non-english stuff I find. cya Coolug (talk) 15:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Voice event processing

Hello Coolug, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Voice event processing - a page you tagged - because: How is this spam? If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Ged UK 20:17, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, that came across rather blunt! I didn't feel that that article was at all spammy. Thanks for your work though! Ged UK 20:20, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

maybe spam was the wrong tag then, but as it stands the article has nothing to imply any kind of notability at all so should be improved if the article is to survive. I might try and find an appropriate tag later. Coolug (talk) 20:24, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

There isn't really a speedy deletion tag that covers neologisms. Best bet is PROD it for deletion, but give it a day or so to see if anything materialises. Ged UK 20:33, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mr Flash

A tag has been placed on Mr Flash 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 band or musician, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hang on! Coolug (talk) 10:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Mr Flash

Please would you expand on this article and add some sources. Otherwise I will need to propose deletion for lack of notability. LittleOldMe (talk) 10:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Too late! I see that someone else has already tagged it as I was composing my note to you. LittleOldMe (talk) 10:59, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

As you may have noticed, I've added a hangon thing and am in the process of adding some notability. Coolug (talk) 11:00, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I've sandboxed it here. Please read this before you decide whether to recreate. As it stands, there is no evidence he is notable enough. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 18:51, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for sandboxing it. Be right back. Coolug (talk) 18:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Buggy Rollin'

Hello Coolug. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Buggy Rollin', a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not blatantly vandalism or a hoax. Thank you. Tikiwont (talk) 20:50, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I tagged it as such because as the article looked to me, the subject was completely made up. No references or anything to back it up. I've noted that since then someone else has deleted the article for another reason. Cya Coolug (talk) 21:24, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Because I afterwards discovered that it was a copyright violation so I warned the user accordingly (which is also something important) and let somebody else check and delete it.[1] So they we're ignorant (of Copyright) but not malicious. Anyways, no sweat and thanks for helping with the new pages. --Tikiwont (talk) 21:33, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion converted to PROD - Pearlism

I have declined your speedy deletion on this, because it is not really a hoax (which implies intent to deceive); it's silly, and not notable, but those are not speedy reasons, and nor (unfortunately) is WP:NFT. I have PRODded it, instead.

Another point about speedy tagging: you should copy to the author's talk page the warning which is generated automatically as part of the speedy template on the article. Otherwise the newbie author doesn't know what's happened, thinks he pressed the wrong button, and often just puts the article in again. Also, if it's a new contributor who has never had a Welcome template, it's useful to give one before the speedy warning - it makes it less BITEy, and gives useful links that may help him do better next time. {{subst:firstarticle|<article name>}} is a good one. Keep up the good work - New Page Patrol needs all the eyes it can get! Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:08, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Julia Mulligan

The article Julia Mulligan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

"prospective candidate" doesn't meet WP's notability requirements

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Eeekster (talk) 10:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Judith Blake

The article Judith Blake has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Does not meet notability guidelines under WP:POLITICIAN

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 {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Miyagawa (talk) 11:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Just an FYI, I speedily deleted this per G4 criteria, as it was deleted previously as a result of a deletion discussion. If you come across an article deleted via AfD, don't recreate it unless you can address the problems being cited in the deletion discussion. Thank you. -- Atama頭 22:25, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Deletion nomination of Talk:Mr Flash

blanked page

Hi Coolug, this is a message from an automated bot, regarding Talk:Mr Flash. You blanked the page and, since you are its sole author, FrescoBot has interpreted it as a request for deletion of the page and asked administrators to satisfy the requests per speedy deletion criterion G7. Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text {{db-author}}. If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the {{db-author}} tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to recover deleted pages. Please do not contact the bot operator for issues not related with bot's behaviour. To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=FrescoBot}} somewhere on your talk page. -- FrescoBot (msg) 00:04, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

RE:Human centipede

Hi there. It's alright if you wanna add back the RT and Metacritic ratings later. But is there any reason for getting rid of the Metacritic link? --Artoasis (talk) 06:25, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Good point, let's put that back. Thanks Coolug (talk) 06:29, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

B-class

I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I will do later hopefully. I've also added rollback to your account because the article is constantly being vandalised. Make sure you only use rollback to deal with obvious, blatant vandalism. Read WP:Rollback before you use it! Papa November (talk) 07:33, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

wow thanks. Don't worry, I will only use my new power for good! Coolug (talk) 15:39, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Hige Danshaku

First, they are not a band, so db-band is not the proper rationale. Second, I mistakenly pressed save while I was in the process of finishing the article and it's not going to be deleted now anyway.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 16:51, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Righty ho, although from the article there doesn't seem to be any clear notability regarding this duo so I would suggest finding some third-party sources pronto in order to save this article from those over zealous editors among us who like to tag things for deletion. Cya Coolug (talk) 16:54, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Even though I'm not going to be copying down their extensive talkshow appearances from the Japanese entry, I've found enough references that support the notability.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 17:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Great! Give it a few decent third-party refs from reputable sources and you have successfully given birth a a fully fledged wikipedia article. Good work. Coolug (talk) 17:04, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

BTW - do you have any english language refs? these will probably be more helpful for most english speaking wikipedia readers. Coolug (talk) 17:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Why would they be necessary for a Japanese subject matter?—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 20:21, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The thing about wikipedia is that because anyone can edit it, it's liable to being full of rubbish. By having the sources made clear the reader is able to check out the information given and see for themselves where the writer found this information. Therefore wherever possible the source should be in an accessible language. See Yukio Hatoyama for example, the sources are mostly in English because if they were in Japanese then 99% of English Wikipedia readers (who don't speak Japanese) would have no way of working out if the article could be considered reliable or not. Coolug (talk) 21:44, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

limbo skating

Why did you mark my article as “vandalism”? The sport exists. I didn't make it up. Please read the criteria for speedy deletion. -- Sloyment (talk) 15:52, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

it sounded like rubbish to me, but I accept I must have been mistaken. Since the sport exists you should be able to find lots of decent third sources to back up your article, maybe a newspaper article on the sport. Good luck with the article! Coolug (talk) 15:55, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Flame (Johnny Duhan album)

Hello Coolug. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Flame (Johnny Duhan album), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A9 only applies where the artist has no article, but Johnny Duhan has. It may well not pass WP:NALBUMS, but it's not speediable; consider PROD or AfD. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 16:53, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello Coolug. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Benny the Chef, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: writer whose won awards is an assertion of importance. Thank you. Ϣere SpielChequers 21:30, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hey, when I tagged it there was nothing to back any of the claims up so I thought it non-notable. Thanks for keeping my updated. Cya Coolug (talk) 21:41, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Cryoshell (Band)

Hi! Just to let you know that I have declined the speedy deletion of Cryoshell (Band), as they have made an assertion of notability (use of their music by Lego). Please remember that if an article makes a credible assertion of notability (which is not as strict as a verifiable referenced claim), then the article cannot be speedily delete under A7. I would suggest PROD/AFD/Improve. Stephen! ^Coming... 09:20, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Test design

Hi. Could you provide more information about why you marked this article to be eligible for speedy deletion under the no-context rule? I think I have enough context to it.

Speedy deletion for Gerald Reid

Hi. I noticed that you placed a db-bio tag on Gerald Reid barely a minute after its creation. Please remember that many articles are created in stages. The layout of the article suggests that the editor in question is either new, or is actively working on it. Please allow the editor a few minutes to see whether things happen, as per WP:CSD#cite_note-Hasty-2. Thank you. Moocha (talk) 20:38, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I think that's fair enough, it's this damn twinkle, makes it far too easy! I will try and lay off immediate tagging of articles that might be in progress and aren't obviously some teenagers resume. Thanks for the advice. cya Coolug (talk) 20:43, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I know, mis-twinkled a few times too then shuffled back and apologized... Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. It's not about who can tag the most, it's about improving Wikipedia's quality overall. Have fun! Moocha (talk) 20:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

BLP tagging on Jon Trondson Benkestok

I have declined this BLP prod as the article was actually about a company; also it did actually have a link to a source. Feel free to prod it by the standard route if you still consider it merits deletion rather than improvement. I have moved it to Christopher Peacock Cabinetry. Espresso Addict (talk) 22:03, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I have cited the bio

On my Wikipedia page, Nicholas Anthony Ascioti, it was tagged for not citing the source. So I did, and got the message again. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but I hope I fixed it.

Thanks, Anthony Guidetti (talk) 22:13, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Congratulations on receiving the Dr. Heiter Award!

For your contributions to The Human Centipede (First Sequence) I present you with the Dr. Heiter Award. "Feed!"

Hi there, thank you for your contributions to The Human Centipede (First Sequence). When the article was first started in October 2009 is was but a tiny stub that was immediately tagged for deletion, but thanks to the efforts of wikipedia editors that tiny acorn has grown into a great oak tree of an article. The Human Centipede (First Sequence) now has B-Class status and on the 17th June 2010 the article received its 1,000,000th page view!

The Dr. Heiter Award was created to reward editors who have made positive contributions to the article. It can be presented by any wikipedia user to anyone who has helped the article grow. This might be by adding new content, fixing any errors or reverting vandalism.

Thanks!

License tagging for File:Notre jour viendra cover.png

Thanks for uploading File:Notre jour viendra cover.png. 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.

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Junie B. Jones is a party animal

Hello Coolug. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Junie B. Jones is a party animal to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 18:40, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion of Daniel Callahan, Ph.D

Hello, Coolug. You sent me a notification telling me that my newly created article Daniel Callahan, Ph.D was proposed for deletion. Thank you for letting me know about this, I`ll work on providing a reliable source right away. MetaCow (talk) 21:30, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey, the tag was because there were no references on the article, anyway,it seems there was already an article on Daniel Callahan so I've made a redirect. cya Coolug (talk) 21:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello You said that all articles made in March 2010 well it s November sorry to sound rude but all my articles get deleted so I'm not to happy about that.--Gertie1999 (talk) 13:37, 20 November 2010 (UTC)Gertie1999

Erm.... I presume you mean there was a BLP tag put on an article you wrote. This says any biographical article created *since* march 2010 needs to have references to avoid getting the chop. Not made during the month of march, as you have correctly identified that it is in fact no longer march would be rather silly. As for all your articles getting deleted, I'm afraid I have no idea whatsoever why this might be. Make sure you properly cite the things you are saying in articles to prove that what you are saying is true and the subject really is important enough as to have it's own wikipedia article. Good luck with your articles. cya Coolug (talk) 17:51, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

Can I point out that we might want to give more than ONE minute for people to develop an article? Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 20:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

if you have enough time to be looking at what's in a rather unimportant editors talk page archive, then firstly I do pity you, but secondly, you may have noticed that I've buried this in my user archive without waiting for the bot to do it for me after 90 days. This is because it's a little embarrasing to be effectlive told off by some one from the Wikimedia foundation. However, it also seems a little extreme, ok so I fucked up and added a tag without properly investigating the article, I'm sorry, but do I really have to be yelled at by some Wikimedia bigshot? Isn't that a bit extreme? Is there something we haven't been told? :P Coolug (talk) 13:42, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

In order;

Philippe poked you before you archived it, as did I (I note you didn't respond to that);
Philippe's userpage makes clear that "I am the Head of Reader Relations for the Wikimedia Foundation, 'though my work on this username is typically in my reversible capacity as a volunteer. If it's an official action it will be clearly labeled" (bolding is mine);
We have a real problem with retaining new editors through Special:NewPages, and part of it is the reaction they get from New Page Patrollers. You might consider ameliorating your work rather than shooting the messenger. Ironholds (talk) 18:14, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Archive 4

I have replied to your comment there. Please be aware that manual archiving breaks the attribution chain and is actually a copyright violation. Please do it automatically, or through the move function, and not through copypasting. Ironholds (talk) 18:15, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments with regard to archiving which have been noted and I shall try my utmost to adhere to in future. I am afraid I was not aware of the potential copyright issues with manual copy and pasting of content like that. I shall also strive to use the word 'ameliorate' in place of the more commonly used 'improve' in speech tomorrow. Thank you Coolug (talk) 19:04, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

You might also want to actually address the issue that was raised. Ironholds (talk) 19:07, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

1 - I did not respond to the messages on my talk page because I felt there was no point, I was clearly at fault in tagging the article, and felt there was no worth in attempting to defend my actions. Frankly I do not really engage in a great deal of talk page debates which I imagine you can see from my contribution history. I wrote a message on the archive explaining why I had manually archived the messages (which I now realise was a potential violation of copyright and thus something I should not have done) just in case anyone out there wondered what someone was doing writing new content on an archive page. I did not expect many people to actually care enough that I had done so, but because some of my real world friends occasionally look at my wikipedia contribution history I decided I had better explain myself.

2 - I am afraid I did not read Philippe's userpage as thoroughly as I should have. Unfortunately upon seeing a job title I jumped to conclusions and did not take the time to completely consider everything surrounding this event.

3 - I understand the concerns regarding retaining new users and over zealous new page patrollers. Perhaps a new system of new pages patrolling could be implemented where a tag regarding the deletion of a page will not be approved until more than one reviewer has expressed the same concern. I imagine that wouldn't be an especially difficult feature for wikipedia to create. However, if I am mistaken then please accept my apologies.

Regards Coolug (talk) 19:27, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

OK, enough of this silliness. I agree wholeheartedly that biting new editors is a big no-no. Overzealous CSD tagging is clearly a bad way to go, and Coolug has acknowledged his mistake. However, remember that there is currently a big drive to get more people involved in routine maintenance, and we're constantly struggling to overcome a massive backlog of cleanup tasks. WP:BITE applies equally strongly to new editors who are trying out new maintenance tasks. Surely, Coolug will be less keen to get involved in new maintenance tasks when two admins (including a WMF member) are bearing down on him with all-caps shouting, and frivolous accusations of copyright violation. Moving a signed and dated talk page comment (along with its signature) to an obvious archive subpage, is not breaking the attribution chain. The only feasible reason for berating the user about this is to belittle him, and frankly, as administrators we should be above that.

A simple, kind word of advice would have been more appropriate. Let the guy learn from his mistakes, and potentially develop into a valuable member of the cleanup/maintenance community. I'm a friend of Coolug in real life, so take this as being a biased, one-sided view if you will. Papa November (talk) 22:06, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Quite right. Coolug, as far as I'm concerned, it's over and you're okay in my book for admitting an error. I hope you don't honestly think I'm some "Wikipedia Big Shot", as I think you said, because thats not accurate. What I ~am~ is passionate about converting readers into editors. I hope you'll excuse any over-zealous language and read my comments in that spirit. - Philippe 12:28, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

The Human Centipede GA

Hey thanks! I'm really pleased we managed to get the article up to GA. I've got to confess that I do find it really amusing that such a horrible horrible film has such a good wikipedia article, the next step is Featured Article :)

I've put the article up for Peer Review and hopefully there will be some good constructive feedback from other editors that can be used to push the article to the big league, as ever any help is always appreciated!

The Human Centipede

Thank you for the compliment. I don't believe, however, that explicit credit in an article caption is required to fulfill attribution. If I understand correctly, merely linking to the photo's own page constitutes sufficient attribution under the Attribution 3.0 license. Since all photos on Wikipedia already do this, credit is usually not given in captions on Wikipedia, unless the photographer himself is noteworthy, like Ansel Adams. For this reason, I never credit myself when adding my pics to articles. Good luck with FA! Nightscream (talk) 08:30, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Human centipede

It is the consensus of Project film editors that critical commentary IS the article itself (per Rfc in January). Whether other member accept that or not is still not clear, but I have started a discussion on the MOS page of the project to attemtpt to get the MOS to be clearer and more precise about how to handle cover art by the project standards. So no.. the article does not need to discuss the poster in the eyes of consensus. I accept that. Hopefully the project can actualy state it in the MOS.

The other two image are not discussed in the prose and captioning does NOT count as prose. They are decorative, especialy the actor shot. Nowhere in that section does it discuss that image or what it is. Just being the actors is not enough. It must have prose about what the image is beyond just a portrait. Portraits can only be used in the infobox of biographies.

As for the poster it does not need any further prose per consensus but you have only provided the boilerplate for Fair use. That is simply the beginning of what is required (the boilerplate itself is not required, the information is) such as description author and source information. Wikipedia requires a ten point rationale for all fair use images. 4 of those points are Fair Use law, the most important being that it not take market value. It is the opinion of this editor that the poster does take market use away from the copyright holder to license the image to identify the film in reviews, blogs and media. You made a free copy and it henders the market value of the NEW film.--Amadscientist (talk) 21:23, 14 June 2011 (UTC)

--Amadscientist (talk) 21:30, 14 June 2011 (UTC)You have a lot of work on that article and I did not delist it over two images but it can be de-listed over the issue alone if someone were to feel strongly or if more issues arise.
