A tag has been placed on Bond insurance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}}
to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. VivioFateFan (Talk, Sandbox) 10:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
Unspecified source for Image:Pierpont_log_distribution.png
editThanks for uploading Image:Pierpont_log_distribution.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 00:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Cubic Hermite spline
editI have done some major edits to cubic Hermite spline, that ended up leaving your recent contribution on the function sligthly out of context. Would you mind helping out on this issue? I am not quite sure yet how your function arises (though I have my guesses that I haven't had time to prove yet), that is crucial in order to put it into the correct context. Cheers. --Berland (talk) 20:38, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
CINT really lives under 'cubic interpolation' rather than 'cubic Hermite spline' - it's the obvious way of doing one-dimensional cubic interpolation if you have values on an even grid and don't care about derivatives. The right answer in a longer run, I think, is to have cubic interpolation be an article in its own right rather than a redirect, pull across CINT_x to that article, and then have a paragraph about why you really want to care about derivatives and a link to cubic Hermite spline. Feel free to do that now if you want, or I'll have a look later - it's 1:15am here and I'm not awake enough to move large chunks of article around Fivemack (talk) 01:12, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- What I wonder, is that your formula will occur from possibly the finite difference formula stated on that page, given a regular grid, and scaled to the unit interval. If that is the case, it belongs under cubic Hermite spline. Anyway, I don't think we should separate 'cubic interpolation' from 'cubic hermite spline', because of the uniqueness theorem on the unit interval. Your formula has to correspond to a specific choice of tangents. --Berland (talk) 06:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- PS: You may use the one or more 'colons' to indent your paragraphs to ease reading on talk pages. Cheers.
Proposed deletion of Paul Zimmermann
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Paul Zimmermann, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Don't tag the elder, I know, but this is so much easier. Sebastian scha. (talk) 01:17, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
- I think maybe just adding some references to his publications might be enough. Michael Hardy (talk) 15:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Yaogan article
editHello, Fivemack. Just a brief note to let you know that I've wikified your article Yaogan and tagged it as in need of references. I sense that you have substantive material here that's worthy of inclusion in the encyclopedia, but without verifiable references it will probably become a candidate for deletion. I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment, else I'd hunt around for and add sources. Would you add what you can find to the article? Thanks & regards, Jim Ward (talk·stalk) 17:58, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for the wikification. It's quite difficult to give references for anything beyond the existence of the satellites - is it really worth citing the very bland Xinhua news-agency announcements of the launches? I doubt anyone who knows for sure the characteristics of Chinese recon satellites is contractually permitted to tell us, and I've not seen amateur images of Yaogan or indications that anything might be transmitting in a radar-like way; the orbits are essentially identical and are classic imaging-satellite orbits. What do you suggest? Should I see if Aviation Week has a better write-up? Fivemack (talk) 12:32, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- I agree that the Xinhua pieces are pretty bland, though that adjective is rightfully ascribed to most sources I found dealing with the subject. Regardless, the Xinhua pieces are legitimate sources; I've used one. Overall, I've cited several more sources, cleaned up the language a bit more, separated each satellite's NORAD ID from its International code in the table. I've also removed the article tags, as I think it's now sufficiently referenced. The article could still use more meat, but I think it's somewhere around or a bit beyond Start-Class. See what you think. Regards, Jim Ward (talk·stalk) 14:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks again, that's much better. I will put in more meat if I find any, but I imagine conclusive information about Chinese spy satellites is not going to be easy to find. Fivemack (talk) 15:03, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Macroketone 2D structure.gif
editThank you for uploading File:Macroketone 2D structure.gif. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:44, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

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.

Swarts flourination
editGood Evening,
Just looking over your new page, Swarts flourination, as part of the new page patrol. Antimony trifluoride seems to cover the same topic. I wonder if you should instead try to improve that page rather than have a seperate one. Nihola (talk) 05:33, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of NATCO Group
editIf 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 NATCO Group 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 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. Svgalbertian (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Relic-of-St-Charles-Lwango.JPG
editThanks for uploading File:Relic-of-St-Charles-Lwango.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 the "Edit" tab at the top of the 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) 14:05, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of NBASE-T
editHello Fivemack,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged NBASE-T for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Robvanvee 16:48, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
