That was very kind and helpful of you as i worked hard on that entry but was unclear about fair use and how to upload images. Tee hee, a bit cheeky but i just wrote an extensive article on the actress Nimmi and Ameeta I wonder if you could help with images on them too? Thanks NAv Navsikand ( talk) 02:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello Blofeld, I noticed that you removed the disputed fair-use tag for Waheeda Rahman's image page. I thought only admins can remove the tag based on two contending tags whether to delete/retain the images. How can you remove it on your own? Can you please clarify?

My apologies for the false revert. With all the vandalism going on, I must say that on this revert I was a bit rash. Thank you for clarifying the blank with a template. -- Amaraiel ( talk) 13:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Sure! :-) Particularly, I think that we should add infoboxes to some Slovenian municipalities that are still lacking them. We should also replace the municipality pink maps with the orange ones that, in my opinion, look better. Regards, Hús ö nd 14:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Lundan.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:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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. Rettetast ( talk) 15:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey Blofeld, how are you doing buddy?? It has been so long since I last talked to you. I am practically done University. Now, I just have to finish my exams, which begins in about two weeks. After that, I am free. =) LOL. Anyways, there is some very good news. The good news is that the IndiaFM licence has been cleared. After getting the agreement from IndiaFM, I got in contact with Riana, as you suggested. Riana then created the licence for me, which can be viewed here. After that, I was in constant contact with the makers of IndiaFM informing them about the licence and everything. After that, Riana sent our conversations to OTRS. I am so happy that this is finally solved and we know have images for Bollywood articles.
Note: Read the licence carefully. To avoid the mess like what was the case with the Bollywood Blog images, we have to upload images in batches, for e.g. three-four images. BUT it must first have to pass through the OTRS system. You have to e-mail them at "permissions@wikimedia.org", providing the links of the pictures from the IndiaFM website. After they notify you that everything is okay, you can then upload the images onto Wikipedia. BTW, when sending an e-mail to OTRS, you have to store the ticket number in the subject of the e-mail (which the members of OTRS created to distinguish between things) and refer to it when sending them the images to process. I will send you that via e-mail. If you have any questions regarding this matter or need further clarification, feel free to let me know. Regards -- Bollywood Dreamz Talk 16:29, 1 April 2008

Not sure what you mean by a fully fledged project, but in general there are no requirements. The only thing I might say is that it might be a good idea to keep using the Europe banner, simply for the purposes of reducing the number of banners on some of the pages about historical subjects which cross existing borders. If you're talking about changing the name to WikiProject Slovenia, that should be fairly simple, but you'd want permission from the Europe project in advance, considering it is right now a sub-page of that project. I can't see any objections to the name change coming up, though. John Carter ( talk) 14:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I can't really call it a project, I haven't been able to drum enough interest to even call it a task force. I would like to create lists of screenwriters and have been looking for opinions other than my own regarding list sorting. Do you have an opinion for or against the creation of lists of screenwriters by decade for television and film? There may be some bleed over from decade to decade of individual writers, but rarely would they be active for more than 2 or 3 decades, William Goldman is the rarity, not the rule. I haven't had much luck creating pages, nearly every one gets challenged, I think they get points to delete things the moment after creation. I can do some intense population of the lists before creation, but it would be easier to get them up and then increase population afterwards. Does this sound reasonable to you?

List of Slovenian dancers is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see
Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
List of Slovenian dancers, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the

Thank you for uploading Image:Brad Renfro.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — An gr If you've written a quality article... 14:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw your contribution on Korean museum related articles and you seem to be into museum related subject. I really appreciate your effort and boldness, however, almost all of them have no reference and nothing but just one sentence! I'm concerned that the articles could be out from here because of the poor status. I implemented some of the articles, especially 'national museums' as adding one or two more sentences with references. Those are unlikely deletable due to the titles having "national" but the rest of them seriously need to expand soon to prove their notablility.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BashutheLittleStranger.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Rockfang ( talk) 09:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Because I'm fed up dealing with uneducated, unkind, POV pushers and teenagers who don't really know what should and what shouldn't be included in every article. I'm fed up with finding myself fighting with sockpuppetors and trying to explain things. And explain what? That a historian's view cannot be regarded as a fact -- but a view! What kind of nonsense is this? That's tiresome! And above all, I have to fight for over an hour to make an admin understand that the page must be protected and only after pleading with him, he does the required! I had to go through several admin talk pages and ask for page protection. Only after my edits had been reverted and constituted another clear evidence of an edit war, it was protected. It's literally silly! Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 17:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Hhh LOL right!! You know, I'm now concerned about the Zinta article. As you know, a few months back, Zinta won ownership rights for a cricket team based at Mohali in an IPL bid for $76 million (!!!).
As a result, over the past few months, she has frequently been featured in the press. But I still don't know if this new activity deserves a new sub-section in the Other work section, and quite frankly, I'm afraid to start a new section (because I'm afraid to ruin the article with a badly written stuff pre-FAC!). She received many positive reviews for her new work and has been described as "actress turned businesswoman" by journalists etc. You can see this recently published article by The Australian, it covers that pretty well. Today her team is going to have its first match BTW. !!!!
As of now, I have only three sentences in the In the media section:
That's all! But I'm very insecure starting a new full-fledged section... After the Zinta FAC, I feel I'm a very bad writer!!!
What do you think? Should it be written in one sole independent section? Shahid • Talk2me 19:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

The down side is the Venezuela project created the banner. The up side is the South America banner does everything it does and more. And it is included in over 250 pages, so it's around a little. My guess would be to replace the Venezuela banner with the South America banner on the talk pages individually, and then at the end, maybe tomorrow or so, transclude the Venezuela articles by quality statistics page onto the project page. I can try to do some of that myself, after I figure out how to fix the freaking Agriculture banner. John Carter ( talk) 17:08, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Kazakh translation of a word "district" is "аудан" (audan, pl. аудандар - audandar). For example, the website of Almaty Province in Kazakh [2], click on Аудандық құрылым. Район (raion) is a Russian name translation of the word. BernardTom ( talk) 22:03, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I've done a few new Venezuelan footballers, and recently did a campaign to ensure that the most important international footballers in S America have at least one ref/external link & an infobox. In real life I just started a new job, so I'm pressed for time, probably wont be able to do as many large edits as I used to. I've got a list of important South American players needing articles, but the annual trawl through Argentine footballers, (weed, update and add infoboxes) is top of my list. All the best.

Thanks for uploading Image:MorganJones.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:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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.

A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Ashford Bird Park, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi. I've requested that the disambiguation page you created at Stari most be deleted so that Stari most, Bosnia and Herzegovina can be moved back there. The other bridge you've linked to from the disambiguation page is called the Triple Bridge so I don't see the need for the disambiguation. There may have previously been an "Old Bridge" on the site of the Triple Bridge, but when people use "Stari most" it's almost exclusively to refer to the one in Mostar. I've added an other uses template to that bridge's article though, in case people are looking for the former Slovenian bridge. I think that's more suitable than having a disambiguation page.

Hello Jamie. I think Madagascar one should stay under "Cities in Madagascar" cat, or at least "Cities and towns", since there is an official distinction between cities/towns and villages in this country. -- Darwinek ( talk) 21:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I think the subdivision into provincial categories is the way to go. We will eventually have 1,500 articles on Malagasy settlements, which will make the country-wide categories not very usefull. It also removed the clutter from provincial categories e.g. Category:Antsiranana Province (I'm probably the guilty party for the clutter, though). If/when the provinces are dissolved, they will have to be splitted further. The point about official distinction is very valid, and I wish I had thought about it a bit more before I barged ahead. The term Malagasy government uses is commune urbaine in French, but Category:Urban communes in Madagascar doesn't really tell anybody anything here. Re-adding Category:Cities in Madagascar to official cities might be the best thing to do, as it makes it clearer than Category:Cities and towns in Madagascar that these are important places. I have no strong preference either way, though. The government also divides communes urbaines into two classes, but I have never seen a list that would break them down. Interestingly, Ilakaka is not officially a city/town, even though calling it a village is stretching it a bit. Same thing also applies to Botswana, where there are officially towns, urban villages and villages. Sowa with 5000 pop is a town, while places like Maun, Palapye or Molepolole are urban villages with a pop of 50000+.
There are also very few articles about Malagasy settlements, which are not defined at commune-level. I'm not sure what should be done with them - if anything. Another category still needed is for the capitals of regions, though one could also tie them together with a template. – Sadalmelik ( talk) 06:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi! i remember the evening when you authored the article on Buddhadev Dasgupta's Uttara. Yesterday I saw Kalpurush, the director's latest offering. The film was quite good.

I saw your post in Shahid's talk page. Yes, all the films you authored articles on are quite acclaimed, and still lacked an article here. This is really sad, and probably, once again, points towards the systemic bias. Among Indian films, Bollywood films are much more represented in WP than other language films, including Bengali. Again, overall, Bollywood films are much less represented compared to Hollywood flicks. This will continue, perhaps :( Anyway, thanks a lot for creating the articles. Hopw you will be able to create many more such articles, somewhat reducing the systemic bias.-- Dwaipayan ( talk) 12:46, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I gave it a shot. Trouble with the French Wikipedia is that a lot of their artistic articles go into criticism of the subject as well as merely reporting on it, and I'm never sure how much to keep and how much to leave out. I excised a bit here, not very much. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 14:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

That was very kind and helpful of you as i worked hard on that entry but was unclear about fair use and how to upload images. Tee hee, a bit cheeky but i just wrote an extensive article on the actress Nimmi and Ameeta I wonder if you could help with images on them too? Thanks NAv Navsikand ( talk) 02:46, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello Blofeld, I noticed that you removed the disputed fair-use tag for Waheeda Rahman's image page. I thought only admins can remove the tag based on two contending tags whether to delete/retain the images. How can you remove it on your own? Can you please clarify? Mspraveen ( talk) 06:12, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
My apologies for the false revert. With all the vandalism going on, I must say that on this revert I was a bit rash. Thank you for clarifying the blank with a template. -- Amaraiel ( talk) 13:17, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Sure! :-) Particularly, I think that we should add infoboxes to some Slovenian municipalities that are still lacking them. We should also replace the municipality pink maps with the orange ones that, in my opinion, look better. Regards, Hús ö nd 14:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Lundan.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:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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. Rettetast ( talk) 15:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hey Blofeld, how are you doing buddy?? It has been so long since I last talked to you. I am practically done University. Now, I just have to finish my exams, which begins in about two weeks. After that, I am free. =) LOL. Anyways, there is some very good news. The good news is that the IndiaFM licence has been cleared. After getting the agreement from IndiaFM, I got in contact with Riana, as you suggested. Riana then created the licence for me, which can be viewed here. After that, I was in constant contact with the makers of IndiaFM informing them about the licence and everything. After that, Riana sent our conversations to OTRS. I am so happy that this is finally solved and we know have images for Bollywood articles.
Note: Read the licence carefully. To avoid the mess like what was the case with the Bollywood Blog images, we have to upload images in batches, for e.g. three-four images. BUT it must first have to pass through the OTRS system. You have to e-mail them at "permissions@wikimedia.org", providing the links of the pictures from the IndiaFM website. After they notify you that everything is okay, you can then upload the images onto Wikipedia. BTW, when sending an e-mail to OTRS, you have to store the ticket number in the subject of the e-mail (which the members of OTRS created to distinguish between things) and refer to it when sending them the images to process. I will send you that via e-mail. If you have any questions regarding this matter or need further clarification, feel free to let me know. Regards -- Bollywood Dreamz Talk 16:29, 1 April 2008

Not sure what you mean by a fully fledged project, but in general there are no requirements. The only thing I might say is that it might be a good idea to keep using the Europe banner, simply for the purposes of reducing the number of banners on some of the pages about historical subjects which cross existing borders. If you're talking about changing the name to WikiProject Slovenia, that should be fairly simple, but you'd want permission from the Europe project in advance, considering it is right now a sub-page of that project. I can't see any objections to the name change coming up, though. John Carter ( talk) 14:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I can't really call it a project, I haven't been able to drum enough interest to even call it a task force. I would like to create lists of screenwriters and have been looking for opinions other than my own regarding list sorting. Do you have an opinion for or against the creation of lists of screenwriters by decade for television and film? There may be some bleed over from decade to decade of individual writers, but rarely would they be active for more than 2 or 3 decades, William Goldman is the rarity, not the rule. I haven't had much luck creating pages, nearly every one gets challenged, I think they get points to delete things the moment after creation. I can do some intense population of the lists before creation, but it would be easier to get them up and then increase population afterwards. Does this sound reasonable to you?

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
List of Slovenian dancers, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
List of Slovenian dancers is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see
Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
List of Slovenian dancers, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click

Thank you for uploading Image:Brad Renfro.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — An gr If you've written a quality article... 14:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Blofeld of SPECTRE. This is second time for us to meet each other after the South Korean PD template. I saw your contribution on Korean museum related articles and you seem to be into museum related subject. I really appreciate your effort and boldness, however, almost all of them have no reference and nothing but just one sentence! I'm concerned that the articles could be out from here because of the poor status. I implemented some of the articles, especially 'national museums' as adding one or two more sentences with references. Those are unlikely deletable due to the titles having "national" but the rest of them seriously need to expand soon to prove their notablility.

Thanks for uploading Image:15 aout.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
The following images also have this problem:

Hey, how did you fix those References in the article Kumartas ??? -- CSailor ( talk) 10:00, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Anlong Run requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact
one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BashutheLittleStranger.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Rockfang ( talk) 09:33, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Because I'm fed up dealing with uneducated, unkind, POV pushers and teenagers who don't really know what should and what shouldn't be included in every article. I'm fed up with finding myself fighting with sockpuppetors and trying to explain things. And explain what? That a historian's view cannot be regarded as a fact -- but a view! What kind of nonsense is this? That's tiresome! And above all, I have to fight for over an hour to make an admin understand that the page must be protected and only after pleading with him, he does the required! I had to go through several admin talk pages and ask for page protection. Only after my edits had been reverted and constituted another clear evidence of an edit war, it was protected. It's literally silly! Regards, Shahid • Talk2me 17:21, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
Hhh LOL right!! You know, I'm now concerned about the Zinta article. As you know, a few months back, Zinta won ownership rights for a cricket team based at Mohali in an IPL bid for $76 million (!!!).
As a result, over the past few months, she has frequently been featured in the press. But I still don't know if this new activity deserves a new sub-section in the Other work section, and quite frankly, I'm afraid to start a new section (because I'm afraid to ruin the article with a badly written stuff pre-FAC!). She received many positive reviews for her new work and has been described as "actress turned businesswoman" by journalists etc. You can see this recently published article by The Australian, it covers that pretty well. Today her team is going to have its first match BTW. !!!!
As of now, I have only three sentences in the In the media section:
That's all! But I'm very insecure starting a new full-fledged section... After the Zinta FAC, I feel I'm a very bad writer!!!

The down side is the Venezuela project created the banner. The up side is the South America banner does everything it does and more. And it is included in over 250 pages, so it's around a little. My guess would be to replace the Venezuela banner with the South America banner on the talk pages individually, and then at the end, maybe tomorrow or so, transclude the Venezuela articles by quality statistics page onto the project page.

Thanks for uploading Image:MorganJones.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:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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.

notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi. I've requested that the disambiguation page you created at Stari most be deleted so that Stari most, Bosnia and Herzegovina can be moved back there. The other bridge you've linked to from the disambiguation page is called the Triple Bridge so I don't see the need for the disambiguation. There may have previously been an "Old Bridge" on the site of the Triple Bridge, but when people use "Stari most" it's almost exclusively to refer to the one in Mostar. I've added an other uses template to that bridge's article though, in case people are looking for the former Slovenian bridge. I think that's more suitable than having a disambiguation page.

Hello Jamie. I think Madagascar one should stay under "Cities in Madagascar" cat, or at least "Cities and towns", since there is an official distinction between cities/towns and villages in this country. -- Darwinek ( talk) 21:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I think the subdivision into provincial categories is the way to go. We will eventually have 1,500 articles on Malagasy settlements, which will make the country-wide categories not very usefull. It also removed the clutter from provincial categories e.g. Category:Antsiranana Province (I'm probably the guilty party for the clutter, though). If/when the provinces are dissolved, they will have to be splitted further. The point about official distinction is very valid, and I wish I had thought about it a bit more before I barged ahead. The term Malagasy government uses is commune urbaine in French, but Category:Urban communes in Madagascar doesn't really tell anybody anything here. Re-adding Category:Cities in Madagascar to official cities might be the best thing to do, as it makes it clearer than Category:Cities and towns in Madagascar that these are important places. I have no strong preference either way, though. The government also divides communes urbaines into two classes, but I have never seen a list that would break them down. Interestingly, Ilakaka is not officially a city/town, even though calling it a village is stretching it a bit. Same thing also applies to Botswana, where there are officially towns, urban villages and villages. Sowa with 5000 pop is a town, while places like Maun, Palapye or Molepolole are urban villages with a pop of 50000+.
There are also very few articles about Malagasy settlements, which are not defined at commune-level. I'm not sure what should be done with them - if anything. Another category still needed is for the capitals of regions, though one could also tie them together with a template. – Sadalmelik ( talk) 06:39, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I saw your post in Shahid's talk page. Yes, all the films you authored articles on are quite acclaimed, and still lacked an article here. This is really sad, and probably, once again, points towards the systemic bias. Among Indian films, Bollywood films are much more represented in WP than other language films, including Bengali. Again, overall, Bollywood films are much less represented compared to Hollywood flicks. This will continue, perhaps :( Anyway, thanks a lot for creating the articles.

Keep up the good work on those sstubs - you're doing one hell of a job. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 17:49, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeesh - sorry to hear that. It's been pretty nice here today - makes a nice change after that horrid drizzle we had yesterday.
I've switched gears a bit, mainly because I want to do something really random; I'm starting articles for some of the sites run by the National Trust for the Cayman Islands. They're nationally-recognized (within the Caymans) historic sites, so I think their notability should be a given. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 18:55, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you move your talk archives so that they're all subpages of this page, rather than of User talk:Ernst Stavro Blofeld? As that's not your username, and there is no such user with that name, they technically fall under the criteria for speedy deletion, and recently there have been cases of such pages being deleted. Just a heads-up! -- RFBailey ( talk) 04:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, good thanks. Oh, I agree, and I'm glad they'll be expanded as they look quite interesting. Your articles cropped up quite a bit during new page patrol so keep up the good work! Thanks, PeterSymonds | talk 06:05, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I was amazed at how many Ingmar Bergman films didn't have articles before I created them! Lugnuts ( talk) 07:15, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, I gave it a shot. Trouble with the French Wikipedia is that a lot of their artistic articles go into criticism of the subject as well as merely reporting on it, and I'm never sure how much to keep and how much to leave out. I excised a bit here, not very much. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 14:54, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
It's like me and my Caymanian National Trust articles - I'd eventually like to see coverage of every heritage site in every country on here, and what better way to start than with some of these places in the Caribbean? -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 15:17, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I'll get on those three, then - I'll look at Argentina in a little while. May take a break to work on one or two other things, too. -- User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 19:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
I cannot find the discussion for renaming all categories "cities and towns" to "cities, towns and villages". Can you please point me to that discuusion, thanks. -- Ezeu ( talk) 20:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
