The article List of bands from Oregon is up for deletion, and some of us are in the process of linking the bands in that list to Category:Oregon musical groups or Category:Oregon musicians. I saw you had added Neighb'rhood Childr'n to the list, and I thought they might merit an article. Do you know enough about them to write one? Katr67 18:46, 12 July 2006 (UTC) reply

I say go for it, if the Internet sources seem reputable. I just love the idea that a psychedelic band from *Medford*, of all places, (or perhaps Phoenix, if I read correctly) sort of made it.

The list got messed up because there was a blanket decision to delete all "List of bands from" articles and it was deleted without being tagged. So it got recreated as a shadow of its former self, then was deleted again. Recently it was restored in order to promote discussion prior to deletion. You might want to check through the history to see if there is anything else that ought to be saved (via an article and categorization) prior to deletion. Thanks for your input!

thanks

Thanks for ( your attempt) to do something constructive towards helping with the "bot problem". How file uploads are done at Wikipedia leads to many problems, including these clumsy bots. Even worse than the problems caused by the bots is when Wikipedians start making excuses for the failings of the bots rather than fix the problems. Even worse than that is when the Wikipedians who try to fix the problems are "blown off" and told that there is nothing that can be done about the problems...."you must suffer because this is the result of a bad situation that we cannot control". Such "social momentum" towards accepting the failings of systems is not unique to Wikipedia, but in an open community such as Wikipedia we do have a chance to set things right. I hope you are not discouraged from continuing to discuss the problems of Wikipedia and you keep looking for solutions to those problems and helping the community find ways to reach the solutions. -- JWSchmidt 16:38, 5 August 2006 (UTC) reply

How to properly AfD

Here are the most basic instructions:

1. Copy {{subst:afd}} into the article you believe should be deleted (you have done this correctly)
2. Create the page where you will talk about the deletion. (this is what you did wrong)

  • When you created the page, you simply typed in the nomination (this was your mistake). You must use {{subst:afd2|pg=pagename|cat=category|text=reason for nomination}}. There is also an option called "Preloaded debate" on the {{ afd}} template box, which I think you should use. It is very simple and explains very clearly what to do.

3. Copy the page into today's log (you did this correctly)

I hope this helps. -- Wafulz 01:25, 2 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Image was on left because of a basic design principle: when figure looks to right, designers position it on left. If put on right, they look off the page. If on left, image draws reader into copy. Pepso 21:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC) reply

Re:Textual Barnstar

Thankyou very much for the kind message! --Diniz 21:39, 14 May 2007 (UTC) reply

This article covers his racing career very well and is well referenced. The only problem is it really doesn't tell me much about him as a person, just as a racing driver. It needs some info on his childhood, family, personal life, religion, etc. If you can do that the article would be great, I would peer review it for you. Oh, and if you could find a picture that would improve it as well. Pictures that wikipedia can use are always hell to find though... Regards, Psych less 19:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC) reply

Image source problem with File:Wired969.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Wired969.jpg.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the 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 11:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- TheImaCow ( talk) 11:04, 4 February 2021 (UTC) reply

Links to draft articles

Information icon Please do not introduce links in actual articles to draft articles, as you did to DiGard Motorsports. Since a draft is not yet ready for the main article space, it is not in shape for ordinary readers, and links from articles should not go to a draft. Such links are contrary to the Manual of Style. These links have been removed. Thank you. - Arjayay ( talk) 10:25, 2 February 2023 (UTC) reply
