FYI

Since you were involved in the original deletion I thought I should tell you of this DRV -- Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2009 March 16#Talk:The Political Quarterly Geo Swan (talk) 16:53, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I just saw the note at the top of your page, that you believe in the Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. I urge you to reconsider whether this is appropriate for the deletion of articles. I have had a few articles nominated for speedy deletion. Every single one was due to overly hasty quality control volunteers. Reverting mistaken deletions can be a lot of work. Reverting the overly hasty deletion of Allegations that Tablighi Jamaat has ties to terrorism is one of the worst instances, it consumed over a dozen hours of my time. It consumed a lot of time of other wikipedians as well. Geo Swan (talk) 17:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

I think you might need to clean up your cleanup tagging - see here!

Fair enough to tag it though - I know it needs cleanup; I'm working on it right now. I'm just getting facts in there, and will improve the prose later. Work in progress.

Domain aftermarket edit

Hi there

I tried to add a resource to this page however I think you have removed it. I thought the lnik was entirely relevant and appropriate as it was to a domain aftermarket leader

Please let me know if I have incorrectly added

Thanks 60.242.200.184 (talk) 04:52, 11 August 2009 (UTC)Mark

I already replied on your page. Tiggerjay (talk) 06:02, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

CAMP HEMSHEKH

You deleted my "External Links" section because it was considered spam. I have no idea why Wikipedia would consider it such. Please discuss with me and then (hopefully) undo what you did. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliscoming1234 (talk • contribs) 03:56, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

As stated previously on you talk page - please review the policy regarding external links, and let me know why you think your links are an exception. Tiggerjay (talk) 03:59, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Most importantly, the Youtube link. But the others seem to have been automatically targeted as well (I think... something got screwed up). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliscoming1234 (talk • contribs) 04:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC) Thank you very much for your advice and quick replies. I know about the rules. Its just that there is no other source besides Facebook for that event. The same situation with the Youtube Link. A supposedly uncreditable source is better than no source, I suppose!

Here was previously stated argument on the Camp Hemshekh Talk Page: For the Wikipedia Page, Camp Hemshekh, there is a small list of "External Links" that I have posted. On that list their used to be a External link for the Camp Hemshekh Youtube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/HemshekhZingt The link was removed because Wikipedia is afraid the link will bring spam to Wikipedia. This link provides an invaluable resource for an insiders look into the camp. It must be included.

P.S. Hopefully there will be a website on which I can then re-source the work (none of which I largely re-wrote). So please, just let these links pass. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eliscoming1234 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in adding to Wikipedia, however, it is apparent by your comments that you have not actually read the link pertaining to spam, please do so here: wp:spam before you comment further. Wikipedia is not a place for marketing, advertising or recruiting students for your camp. Please let me know what encyclopedic value you believe this links add, otherwise, they simply look like marketing - which is basically what you are reinforcing by your statements. Tiggerjay (talk) 04:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

I have re-read the article about Spam. The external link in question, the one leading to the Camps Youtube Channel is not Spam. The camp no longer exists, it closed 20 years ago. The thing that makes these videos so special and rare I might add, is that the camp was so different than other camps at that time (and today as well). The videos help you understand that, and see what it was really like. In the coming months, the link will most not likely be linked to Youtube; but to a different, verifiable website (I mentioned it previously). Even after this, if you think it is spam the please do NOT remove the whole links section (even if those links lead to Facebook.... its only temporary.) Thank you for your time and counsel. --Eliscoming1234 (talk) 16:41, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the templates!

Thank you, I believe that I have 1) found the proper templates, and 2) created a talk page that is fit for Featured Article status. Thanks again! Jsharpminor (talk) 01:56, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

"Waterfest" Addition

I thought I had made a useful post on the "Waterfest" page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.114.146.220 (talk) 02:01, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

It is not a question of if your contribution was valuable, but rather that your contribution was in violation of copyright law, and is prohibited without permission from the copyright holder. Tiggerjay (talk) 02:06, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:C mcnair wilson.jpg

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:C mcnair wilson.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.35.224 (talk) 03:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Revert note

Hi Tiggerjay. You reverted a contribution here, is it incorrect? It was something I had thought to fix myself, I must have forgot, the ip has now restored their contribution with a citation is the edit summary. cygnis insignis 06:50, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

You know, I remember that revert, and afterwards, I thought -- maybe they were correct. But I didn't take the effort to revert-the-revert. I think it seems okay. Tiggerjay (talk) 21:42, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Independence High School

Thanks for your extensive copy editing at the Independence High School (San Jose, California) article! I do have one caveat, though--in my initial overhaul, I based the layout and general format on the article for one of the most notable high schools in the United States—namely Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. What I'm saying is should the nicknames "IHS" and "Indy" really be referred to in a separate parenthetical clause (your edit: "Independence High School, also referred to as IHS and Indy...")? It seems to me we should keep it as the previous edit ("IHS, Indy") considering they are both commonly used names for Independence High School and we see at least one example of a notable high school article that does the same thing.

chart for Disneyland

hello Tiggerjay, thanks for the barnstar... i'd also made two for WDW : fr:Fichier:Disneyworld_tarifs.png (tickets prices) and fr:Fichier:Disneyworld visiteurs.png(attendances) but not yet updated and translated --GdGourou - °o° - Talk to me 12:16, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Please help

Tigger-

I noticed you are a Disney fan. We worked as consultants on the "CARS" movie.

Anyway, as you know, Wikipedia is a whole new and very complicated world, so I'm trying to figure out what to do next. We spent a lot of time editing our article, "National Historic Route 66 Federation" and acquiring references. (We have led the efforts to save and restore Route 66 so I think the article will be very informative.) Then, I "saved" it. In our world, it looks like its pretty good. But, I don't know about the Wikipedia world?

1. What do I do next to move it toward ending up on the internet?

2. We welcome your comments and editing that will help accomplish this

3. How and where do I hear back from you?
