Hi

Pitzer College

I undid your deletion of the Masculinist Coalition. Your opinion that they are not notable is just that, opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rory Reiff (talk • contribs) 23:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I moved the section to the Pitzer College talk page. If the group is only one of over 150, less then a few months old and has less then ten active members it is not notable.Dapoloplayer (talk) 00:48, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting material

It is considered bad form to delete material that others have posted on your user talk page.--Curtis Clark 17:32, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I did not know that and will not be deleting any more. Dapoloplayer 19:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Grace Voter turnout. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --ArmadilloFromHell 03:38, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that. I was going to delete the page i accidentally created it. Thanks for the note.

Don't worry - it will just get deleted without you having to do anything, no serious damage. If you even accidently create a page, and want to delete it then go back and change so the first line to be {{db-author}} - that flags it for deletion. --ArmadilloFromHell 04:53, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:RussWarner.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RussWarner.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Chowbok ☠ 03:22, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I verified with the owner to change its use to free-liscense. I believe I have changed the photo page to represent that. Let me know if there is anything else I need to do. Thanks. Dapoloplayer 18:10, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, but you need to be more specific. Who is the owner? How did he/she give you permission? If it was with an e-mail, you should put it on the image page (you can take out the addresses). What kind of permission did he/she give: is it free for any use (including commercial)? You'll also have to pick a tag that matches the licensing terms that the copyright owner has chosen, otherwise OrphanBot will delete it. —Chowbok ☠ 16:16, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:RussWarner.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RussWarner.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 17:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:LizKniss.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:LizKniss.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. Rettetast (talk) 13:49, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Russ Warner

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Russ Warner, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Appears not to meet the notability guidelines. Unsuccessful candidates for Congress are not - in and of themselves - notable. There does not appear to be anything else in his bio that meets WP:BIO

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
