My page entitled Lloyd Sweeney was deleted by michig but I cannot contact him as he is on a "wikibreak". I am trying to either get this page moved to a userspace (I believe it's called userfy) so I can complete it, as I wasn't even done with it before it was deleted, or if that's not possible could you delete the page entirely so it does not show up on google search results? Any help is greatly appreciated. Eleet211 (talk) 01:57, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
I created an article for La Sierra Academy, however, most of the information is out of it's student handbook/website/profile and La Sierra University's website. There is not question that it is a notable school judging by the number hits on Google News and such, it's just hard to verify information about the school. If you could give your thoughts and maybe even help a bit on the documentation side I would appreciate it. Also, do you think it would be appropriate to have the history section sourced primarily from primary sources? (it doesn't seem controversial...) —Preceding unsigned comment added by WikiManOne (talk • contribs) 15:34, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I always go to advanced search on flickr and check two boxes making it: "Showing Creative Commons-licensed content for commercial use". That's what I always do. Plus for like such as the colortrak 2000 image I had specific permission. Daniel Christensen (talk) 22:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Cu Huy Ha Vu is a public Figure , ..."a photograph of a public figure may be used without permission...", "If the person is a public figure (a celebrity, a politician and the like) or is a private figure but one who is involved in a matter of public concern (a news story for instance) and in both instances the use of the photograph is directly related to the person’s public status, then the courts have said that in those instances, the right of the person to his or her privacy gives way to the public’s right to get the public information."
The photo Cuhuyhavu.jpg is created by me, I don't need permission to draw a public figure as long as my created photo is not use for commercial, while the underlying art may be in the public domain and thus free to use . —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thuytrangnguyen (talk • contribs) 06:44, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi, You undid a change I made for a wikipedia page for the producer of WordGirl / Deborah Forte. I cleaned up the article so I was wondering why you put the flags back? I couldn't find another way to remove the flags other than just taking them out of the code; is there another procedure that's needed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by WordGirl8987 (talk • contribs) 01:04, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
You commented that may page, Holly Creek Retirement Community, was marked for deletion. I looked at similar sites, like The Village or Classic Residence by Hyatt and tried to edit the copy accordingly. But it won't let me post those updates as the page was marked for speedy deletion. How is someone supposed to learn how to fix something, then fix it, only to not be able to repost it?
All of the instructions are super confusing. I get that Wiki wants to read encyclopedia-like/factual, and I'm trying to do that, so why does this have to be hard? Who reads the newer copy to see if it conforms to Wiki style? How do you get passed the "marked for deletion" issue?
Why would someone sign HCWikiSigler (talk) 04:22, 9 November 2010 (UTC) and not their name? Is there a simplied version of directions? So what happens now? No matter how much I improve the copy will it never be posted?
Thank you...

Hello Fifthtwo thirty,
A while ago we were dealing with unfree images of the late PM David Thompson of Barbados and those images are gone since. Now I discovered that the same User:MichaelCurtis89 uploaded a portrait of David Thompson copyright to AFP, again he stated it's his own. Well, I hope I reacted correctly in marking the image as pufc, leaving a message on MichaelCurtis89's talkpage and listing it at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2010 November 21. I think the image should be taken off asap and as the user's uploads are likely to be all disputed, he should be banned for a while or for good. What's your opinion? Joerg, the BajanZindy (talk) 20:55, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
What if I upload an image twice, to two differnt places with a different lisence in each place. Besides being frustrating for someone seeing the same image on flickr as all rights reserved and here as CC 3.0, is there an actual rule about doing that? Like is the All Rights Reserved license valid if an image that is clearly identical is found somewhere else as Creative Commons or lets say Public Domain? Would releasing an image in the public domain here in some way invalidate the license elseware if the image is clearly the same? And there would be no debate over weather or not it is truly the same because I have seen wikipedia recognize identical images if I accidently tried to double upload. I don't care about any images being used I was just wondering. Thanks. Daniel Christensen (talk) 02:19, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello and thank you so much for your warm welcome! I am obviously new to Wiki writing, and am happy to learn more about what's needed to have my information approved.
When writing about a living person, can you tell me what is acceptable as proper substantiation, and how to I correlate it within the body of my article? In other words.... where do I put any links to newspaper articles and such?
I'm certainly also a novice at writing code, so it's taking me a long time to figure out the actual logistics of it all too! Can you give me an idea of how long I have to figure all this out before I am "speedily deleted"?

I was reading the merger discussion on Amway / Global / Aus, At last discussion the Amway Australia page was going to be "beefed up" so no action was taken by you, but I discovered the beefup was extremely unreliable, majority third party sourcing, and written like an advertisement, some obvious conflict of interest happening. I cleaned up the serious violations, and what's left isn't much, even the meat of the company info lacks citations.
I feel it should be merged. Will you find time to do this still? Financeguy222 (talk) 02:05, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

You recently tagged the "People In Aid Code of Good Practice" for speedy deletion - it has since been deleted. I was just wondering if you could give me some feedback as to exactly why it was deleted, with examples? I read the reasons, but obviously without the text of the article to hand I'm unable to see where I went wrong.

Hi,
I noticed you listed yourself as a participant of the Energy WikiProject.
There are 2 new outlines in this area that attempt to consolidate Wikipedia's coverage of their respective subjects, gathering and organizing the articles about them into one place and including descriptions for convenience. The purposes of these outlines are to make it easier for readers to survey or review a whole subject, and to choose from Wikipedia's many articles about it.
The new energy outlines are:
Please take a look at them, and....
For more information about the format and functions of outlines, see Wikipedia:Outlines.
Building outlines of existing material (such as Wikipedia) is called "reverse outlining". Reverse outlines are useful as a revision tool, for identifying gaps in coverage and for spotting poor structuring.
Revising a work with multiple articles (such as Wikipedia) is a little different than revising a paper. But the general principles are the same...
As you develop these outlines, you may notice things about the articles they organize. Like what topics are not adequately covered, better ways to structure and present the material, awkward titles, articles that need splitting, article sections lacking ((Main)) links, etc.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me on my talk page or at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Outlines.
Thank you.
Sincerely, The Transhumanist 00:47, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Fiftytwo thirty,
In order to better control the quality of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.
Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.
Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
