User talk:Wachholder0

Go to User:Wachholder. Nothing will happen if you post here. Or better yet, just go ahead and do whatever. I almost certainly will not care.

When I was young and wikistupid, I removed a bunch of material from my talk page without archiving it. Whoops!

Robert Frost page

I would like to know how you can call a link to a legitimate poetry site with audio of a poem spam and delete it. Even though the reading is entertainment, it is helpful to teachers and students to hear a poem read out loud, and it is not spam. At the same time, this link to a humor site that doesn't even have a Frost poem but has Frost on a kelloggs cornflakes box is allowed to remain:

* A popular humor website satirizes Frost's commercial persona.

It would seem that link would violate the standards and not the other one. --Annabells 16:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)--Annabells 16:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. Fixed that. Wachholder 17:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put the audio poem link back up and before you take it up on yourself to delete it, I would ask that we consult a mediator. FYI, the reelyredd poetry site's purpose is mainly educational, the owners hire voice professionals to read the poems to increase student interest in the poetry and also use real student readings. These readings are very helpful to teachers as well as students, who often don't know how to pronounce certain words in many poems or have any clue what a good or bad reading is.

My problem with the reelyredd external links are:

LOTS of ads on the pages. Excessive ads violate WP:External links.
A most of your edits consist of adding links to this one particular website. Looks link linkspamming/conflict of interest.
There are better, less commercial sites out there doing the same thing.

Don't take it personally. Remember, wikipedia doesn't belong to us. Please feel free to contact an administrator if you have other concerns. Thanks, Wachholder 05:20, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Suit yourself, since you are determined to exclude the link but FYI the reelyredd site isn't commercial. The ads support the cost of the readings. Schools and even colleges link to it for assignments, because the voice impressions readings are more entertaining and capture students' interest a little more than just regular readings, which many students find boring. No reply necessary, I don't expect you would understand that. --Annabells 05:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Juan Cole Page

I appreciate your concern for the page, but this issue has dragged on for two months now. The mediator has been absent for nearly a month now, and there is no real discussion going on about the article. The specific contested issue here is Karsh's charge of anti-semitism against Cole, and whether to include it or alter its presentation. Karsh's charge is not a notable one - it has only gained notoriety through the Wikipedia article, and Cole only felt compelled to reply at all after reading the article [1]. -Thucydides411 04:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:HH-3-minigun-vietnam-crop.GIF

Thanks for uploading Image:HH-3-minigun-vietnam-crop.GIF. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:07, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the rusty plow—horse-drawn, I trust. I'll be polishing it up. I do so much reverting every day on all kinds of articles on my watch list that I hadn't really noticed how many of those were on the Amish article of late. JonHarder 05:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Request for help.

I am requesting your help in making the Northkill Amish Settlement page more encyclopedic. Reidhoch 12:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article looks much better, thank you very much. Reid Hochstedler 12:22, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Usk

What is the problem with the image at Usk ? You say my layout "covered the text" - ?? Looks perfectly good to me, but your layout relegates the image to a misplaced and undersized box underneath the text box, with acres of white space to the left. I've not had this issue arise elsewhere - is it simply a problem with your set-up ? Ghmyrtle 21:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lincoln image

Hello

My bot is not responsible (I've stopped using it on commons some months ago, due to various malfunctions)

Please take a better look at the image history - The first lincoln was indeed uploaded by my bot (sept 29th), but the picture was replaced a few days ago by the following person :

(suppr) (rétab) 1 janvier 2007 à 09:20 . . Lglswe (Discuter | contributions) . . 800×370 (34 354 octets) ({{Information |Description = Lincoln |Source = |Date = |Author = Lars-Göran Lindgren Sweden |Permission = }} Category: Lincoln vehicles )

I've reverted to the previous version.

Northwest passage

Hi, Why you yave removed a link which I inserted in the page Northwest passage. It is a good source of information about the legal dispute, and quite neutral I believe. Anyway, I am not going to insist on its insertion, just curious why?--Dacy69 22:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are a dozen external links already in addition to those already embedded in the article. Also, that link gave me a funny "cult-owned-profitable-seafood-corporation/ unprofitable-media-conglomerate declaring that global warming will improve fishin' in contrast to all rational scientific evidence" feeling.

Roma People Image

Hi W, Thanks for taking the time and trouble to improve the lead image for Roma People. I recognise your user name from around the Wiki, so perhaps you remember the ongoing defense of the previous image (the three girls) and all the disruption one troll could cause. Anyway, I was going to replace the polish pic with Rita Hayworth myself, but realised that you probably have the composition arranged on your hard drive (the others are certainly perfect for the pic) already. The other possiblity is Elvis Presley, but his ancestry is controversial and would start yet another running conflict. István 03:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It appears the trend for ethnography articles is to show a handful of the most famous/important people from the group, e.g., the Albanians article shows Skanderbeg, Pope Clement XI, Mehmet Ali & King Zog; English people has Elizabeth I, Isaac Newton, William Shakespeare, & Charles Darwin. Both Elvis and Rita are of very mixed ancestry and are not strongly associated with Rom identity in the popular mind, so I think they would prove unpopular edits. Too bad about the greek girls pic! I do not have a copy, or I would have restored it. Wachholder0 04:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Silverstein

I don't know whether you spotted the other version of that page in it's history (see [2]). There has been a bit of reverting back and forth between the two recently. You might find the other version a bit better base to work from! →Ollie (talk • contribs) 23:11, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amish/Mormon

There's not much left of this paragraph, and who cares about the mistranslated title of a film? I'm thinking the rest of the paragraph should be deleted for lack of notability. Lou Sander 19:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I am pretty much in agreement there. Including unreferenced lists of erroneous beliefs is probably a bad practice. Wachholder0 20:34, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meiji University#Famous alumni

Our Hon. Rep. Koichi Hagiuda whose career in the Diet is rather brief (2003-) and has not experienced major national party position or minister or vice-minister. In short he looks like a backbencher.) Among many other alumni politicians (see ja:明治大学の人物一覧#.E6.94.BF.E6.B2.BB.E5.AE.B6 ) he appeared as the only politician entry ahead of other alumni. (sorry that I live abroad and not a Meijian.) I do not think it is appropriate on the NPOV policy of Wikipedia.

Please note Meiji is a kind of multiversity with many alumnis. Consensus making among them with conflicting interests could be impossible. In the Japanese edition there is a separate article for the alumni list and it is semi-protected. Soredewa 02:07, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Zumbo1.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Zumbo1.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 09:49, 5 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use disputed for Image:Viktória Mohácsi.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Viktória Mohácsi.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 02:23, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Amish‎ GA Sweeps Review: On Hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria and I'm specifically going over all of the "Culture and Society" articles. I have reviewed Amish‎ and believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are several issues that need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I have left this message on your talk page since you have significantly edited the article (based on using this article history tool). Please consider helping address the several points that I listed on the talk page of the article, which shouldn't take too long to fix with the assistance of multiple editors. I have also left messages on the talk pages of a few other editors and several related WikiProjects to spread the workload around some. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:27, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:EIUOldMain.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:EIUOldMain.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:EIUOldMain.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. - Icewedge (talk) 05:44, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Necedah collage

Why is there a picture of a baldcypress swamp in the Necedah wildlife collage? Baldcypresses come only as far north as the southern tip of Illinois, and I haven't noticed them the two times I've been at Necedah on tours to see the reintroduced whooping cranes. Could the baldcypress picture belong to another NWR farther south? Erutuon (talk) 15:12, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:BobMcChesney.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:BobMcChesney.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, 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 deleted 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.
