Dicdef

"Dicdef" means "dictionary definition". Since Wikipedia is WP:NOT a dictionary, this is a kind of article people sometimes want to get rid of (or sometimes, move to Wiktionary. Mangojuice 04:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Semiprotect?

BTW - if you would like I can semiprotect this page as well. Then we will know when we missed VaughanWatch socks because they'll be the only ones harassing you through the protection. ;) Let me know if you want me to take you up on this. You can reply here, I have you watched. --Syrthiss 16:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Syrthiss, I'd hate to have another vandalization, but has VaughanWatch targeted my talkpage yet? Maybe you should give him the benfeit of the doubt that he has stopped before you protect this page. Thanks a lot for your help, Theonlyedge 22:10, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Susan Kadis

Well, I'm still not entirely convinced that this fact, by itself, warrants identifying her as a feminist in the very first paragraph of the article as if that were one of her primary points of notability, but if you disagree and feel strongly about putting it back, go ahead — it's not as if I'm the final authority on the matter.

Debt

Hmmmmm. I'm not entirely sure it could be a very encyclopedic or interesting article on its own, though it might be a good subsection of another article (like, say, Economy of Canada or something like that.) Is there really much that can be written about it besides "Canada has $500 billion of government debt"? Bearcat 01:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Sims 2

You've claimed The Sims 2: Pets has been confirmed in your statement of keep. I've asked for you to cite a credible source for that as that is the heart of the problem with the article. If you cannot provide a credible source, please consider retracting your statement. --Crossmr 15:48, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Amazon isn't a credible source in this case. A credible source would be Maxis or EA. It wouldn't be the first time I've seen a website advertise a product that never materialized, especially when it comes to video games. Not to mention the product isn't even for sale through the site, they're simply asking you to leave an e-mail address so you can be told when and if it ever becomes available. They're only using a screen cap from E3 for pete's sake. Let's not forget that amazon was one of the sites that originally had TS2 set for a release date of Feb 25, 2004. They're not terribly accurate.--Crossmr 20:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thats not the official TS2 UK website. This is the offical TS2 website: http://thesims2.co.uk/pages.view_frontpage.asp for the UK. Sorry but even if you were to consider amazon credible, the fact that they provide 0 information about the product other than "Sign up and we'll tell you when we have information" doesn't lend any credibility to it. I've seen plenty of gamesites like EBgames, gamespot, etc create pages for things that never materialize. I've also posted on the deletion page an e-mail from EA stating that the EP was not shown at E3 which means any conclusion drawn from that is complete speculation. And of those 64000 results, not a single one is an official credible source. The only information we have is: A trailer shown at E3, and EA saying the next EP was not shown at E3. Everything the fan sites have done to generate buzz around this is complete speculation and not a single bit of it reliable. --Crossmr 23:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Police in Pickering.jpg and Image:Toronto SWAT Agent.jpg

Hello, you uploaded these images claiming they were public domain as they were from the CBC. The CBC is a crown corporation and it does not fall under the general government copyright laws. CBC produced material is just as much under copyright as any private company. Moreover, all Canadian government materials only permit noncommercial use. These are not allowed in Wikipedia as many of our content reusers are commercial operations. - SimonP 15:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for the note. I will have to work on referencing the comment some more, giving credit where credit is due for the real work.  :) --Omnicog 22:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Editor Review

Hey, I've recently put myself up for the Editor Review process. With the (seeming) end of the Vaughan-gate mess, I've been back to normal editing for the last while and wanted some outside opinions as to what kind of job I'm doing; if I'm on the right track, if there's anything I can do to improve, etc. If you have some free time, I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look and leave me some feedback! Thanks. --Chabuk 03:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:British naval captives.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:British naval captives.jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC) [reply]

This image requires a source, such as a URL, showing that the image is actually public domain. Also, it should be tagged with {{PD-because}}, not {{GFDL}}. If a source isn't presented within one week, it will be deleted.-Wafulz 03:23, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gaza War entry

I wish further work could have been done, and especially the 'Gaza humanitarian crisis' section would be edited slightly. But until the entry is released from the lock - on behalf of those who spent countless time there I thank you. --Sceptic from Ashdod ^(talk) 10:15, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:ROB Weekend.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:ROB Weekend.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. 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.
