What part of WP:NAME are you referring to in this edit summary? It is my understanding that bracketed titles are for disambiguation purposes. I.e. you would be justified in moving Federal Office of Police to Federal Office of Police (Swiss) (not Federal Police (Swiss)) if (and only if) Federal Office of Police was made into a disambiguation page at the same time, referencing other entities called Federal Office of Police. --dab (��) 17:04, 21 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

"This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor, and freedom..."

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

Doesn't it seem odd that under Category:Motorcycle manufacturers, you don't see Harley-Davidson or Kawasaki or any other name except (at the moment) Jawa Motors? Why would Jawa be categorized differently than hundreds of other motorcycle makers?

Hi there. You added some information to the article on the Palestine Red Crescent Society that I believe requires some clarification. I have asked for some on the talk page there. While searching for the sources you used, I noticed the same information at Emergency Medical Services in Israel (which you also added - verbatim). I have removed that latter addition (its a copyright violation when not attributed to your earlier edit and as it requires clarification where you first added it, I would appreciate you do that first before re-adding it elsewhere). Waiting for your comments at the talk page. Thanks. Tiamut^talk 20:36, 30 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for providing the link to the report Degen Earthfast. In case you did not notice, the speaker/author of that section iis the Israeli Ministry of Health and not the WHO itself. So when you added the information as though it were the WHO speaking, that was slightly misleading. As such, I've removed that. I also removed it because a 2003 report cannot counter a 2009 report. Thanks again for providing your source. Happy editing. Tiamut^talk 19:33, 31 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi Degen,

You just removed the bit "without naming Israel" from the international reaction section.

As per the discussion page this was included to maintain neutrality since the UN specifically changed its wording to not mention Israel. But you have a good point.

How about "without placing blame on either party involved"?

That seems more neutral to me anyway ... what do you think?

A tag has been placed on AirQuest Aviation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. ttonyb (talk) 16:02, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Embraer ERJ 145 family a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you.

I have blanked your efforts at Hercules Fahrrad GmbH & Co and reverted your blank/redirect at Hercules (motorcycle). There are two reasons for this. Firstly, if you want to rename an article you don't blank it, you move it. It is critical to maintain Wikipedia's licensing that edit history is preserved. Secondly your edits to Hercules Fahrrad GmbH & Co seemed to be a direct copy/paste from a google translation of the German Wikipedia article. If you look at Wikipedia:Translation you will see the key point, highlighted in bold that "an unedited machine translation, left as a Wikipedia article, is worse than nothing" and furthermore that proper credit must be given to the original version to avoid copyright infringement. So, if you do want to include elements from the German article, then by all means do but add them to the existing article, finish the machine translation by removing any grammatical howlers, and give proper credit to the German version. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:06, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on Hercules Fahrrad GmbH & Co requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia explains what to do. It seems, though, that there may be consensus against dropping in unmodified machine translations at Wikipedia:Translation. You'll need to work through that issue if you wish to continue with translating content. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:27, 22 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:Razor logo.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ∃ Aaditya 7 05:56, 25 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello. As a Italian-speaking WikiGnome, I'd like to solicit your help in testing a new tool. For a few years now, the Red Link Recovery Project has been using the Red Link Recovery Live tool to track down and fix unnecessarily red links in articles. Recently, the tool has been expanded to work on non-English Wikipedias. A small set of suggested fixes for red-links on the Italian-language Wikipedia have been prepared and I'm hoping to interest some Italian-language speakers (such as yourself) to work through them.

If you are interested, please visit http://toolserver.org/~tb/RLRL/quick.php?lang=it. Each time you refresh the page you'll be presented with three new suggested fixes. I'll be happy to answer any questions on the tools talk page. - TB (talk) 20:05, 20 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Since you are in Philadelphia right now, do you take photo requests? If so, I have a list of possibilities. Also, do you edit the Spanish Wikipedia?

1. The Philly school district article is at: es:Distrito Escolar de Filadelfia
2. Here are the photo requests in the Philadelphia area that I have so far:

• City of Philadelphia:
  • Images of the main entrance of the Philadelphia High School for Girls - 1400 W Olney - Currently the article shows the school gym
  • Bustleton Library: 10199 Bustleton Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19116-3718
  • William M. Meredith School: 725 South 5th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147-3093 (whole building) - Image of entrance is at File:Meredith School.JPG
  • Santore Library: 932 South 7th Street Philadelphia, PA 19147-2932 (7th & Carpenter Sts.)
  • Fumo Library: 2437 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19148-3508
  • South Philadelphia Library: 1700 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19145-2392
  • George Washington High School - 10175 Bustleton Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19116-3798
  • Saints John Neumann and Maria Goretti Catholic High School - 1736 South Tenth Street Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 19148

• Suburbs
  • China Airlines Philadelphia office - 2300 Computer AVE. Building 39G, Willow Grove, PA 19090, U.S.A
  • Main entrance to State Correctional Institution – Graterford - There is a sign stating the facility's presence located at the intersection of Graterford Road and Perkiomen Creek Road in Skippack Township, Montgomery County. See the Google maps view of the sign - This is not actually on the prison grounds, so it shouldn't be a problem getting a photo of the sign.

A tag has been placed on Ha'argaz, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Holy Pits! (talk) 19:51, 4 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am currently teaching a new user how to edit (we happen to be staying in the same place right now). I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'setting up his account', but it would seem the mistakes of a very new user do not in any way constitute vandalism. It would be appropriate for someone of your standing to assume good faith and ensure that new users are welcome.

Having said that, if you wish to open a sock-puppet investigation (which you are, of course, welcome to do), please do inform me and I will provide the relevant documents and proofs to CheckUsers or Arbcom as is appropriate. It would be nice of you to apologise to the user in question as they have done nothing more than make a newbie mistake. Panyd^{The muffin is not subtle} 22:50, 6 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Why would you report this user for abuse when they haven't committed serious vandalism? I believe the G11 tag for Ha'argaz was possibly a good faith newbie mistake, not vandalism.

A tag has been placed on File:Colombian National Police Carabineros Badge.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

You can't just override an AfD decision because you disagree with it. Consensus was reached that this company is non-notable, and the article you restored still has no reliable sources.

Its "official name" was never "FSB Alfa Group". Actually, it was ever officially "Alfa" only during the early 1990s when it was a GUO special force. It's a popular name, like "Delta Force". And "Alpha Group" is much more popular in English than "Alfa Group", and it's NEVER "FSB Alfa Group".[3].

Dear Degan Earthfast,

We appear to be in conflict over examples of folding bicycles, but perhaps not. I removed MOBIC for being non notable, and you restored it with the explanation that it is "folding bike/folding bike company". I have suggested on Talk:Folding_bicycle#Notable_brands_and_manufacturers that we apply the same criteria to this list as is already working well elsewhere. I look forward to your comments there.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor then please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive, until the dispute is resolved through consensus.

Thanks for uploading File:British Dunelt 3 speed.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for 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}} 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.

Degen, please stop edit warring with me. The "Special Police Act" as you describe it, does not exist.... As you will see from the Special police force article. "Security Police" is not a term recognised by UK law or nomenclature. It may have use in other countries, but not within the United Kingdom or its overseas territories. The Ministry of Defence Police is a police force of civilian police officers attested as constable under the Ministry of Defence Police Act. There is a detailed description of their jurisdiction at Ministry of Defence Police jurisdiction. Why do you insist of forcing the term "Security Police" into the article? I should point out that the article has been stable for a considerable length of time and if you wish to insert new claims of status into it then the {burden of evidence lies with you to show that they are verifiable. I invited you to the talk page to discuss this but instead you simply reverted me for a second time, it's hardly the kind of behaviour I'd expect from a seemingly seasoned editor. Please discuss?

  Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring.

I am here to warn you that if you continue to edit war at the MOD police article, you will be blocked. You have already broken WP:3RR, our bright-line rule on reverting. The only reason I am not blocking you right now is that I cannot see where you have been specifically warned about 3RR. Please consider this to be that warning and desist from your disruptive behaviour. --John (talk) 12:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:

• On the Austro-Hungarian Army page, your edit caused a missing references list (help | help with group references). (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:21, 26 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Since we are at 3RR and Talk:Horizon Air is already clear on the subject, I've raised this issue at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines. HkCaGu (talk) 23:01, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Horizon Air shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. —Alex (Ashill | talk | contribs) 23:35, 18 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

The article AirStar Executive Airways has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Poorly sourced, a quick Google search indicates nothing to indicate this passes WP:GNG

While all constructive 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. -- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:10, 27 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, ERC (AFV family). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – ERC 90 Sagaie. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at ERC 90 Sagaie – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. noclador (talk) 18:34, 24 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

 

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Eastern Alliance (disambiguation) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-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 notice from the top of the article. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:58, 25 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop making disruptive edits, as you did at Twelve Colonies.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing.  Sandstein  15:20, 24 September 2017 (UTC)Reply
