A tag has been placed on ...Make You Breathe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CobaltBlueTony 18:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Great Debate (song).

Unfortunately Tomwsulcer has decided to leave the project. FYI please see User talk:Tomwsulcer#Terrorism prevention strategies moved to user space.

Hi, I found your name listed in the resource exchange list. I've been working on the article about Tošo Dabac, a Croatian photographer whose photos were included in a few group exhibitions held in the United States in the 1930s and I was wondering whether you could try looking up if The New Yorker had published some exhibition review or any piece of text that might mention Dabac. I think some of these exhibitions must have been a notable enough event for The New Yorker to cover it, and I'm hoping some citation could be extracted if they did.
This is the list of exhibitions in the US which featured his works:
Also, it may be helpful to keep in mind that Croatia was at the time part of Yugoslavia, and if he is mentioned somewhere, they probably classified him as Yugoslav(ian). I know this is a long shot but I had to try it. Many thanks Timbouctou ( talk) 14:41, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

...Down and Out in Paris and London which he wished to publish under an assumed name. In a letter to Moore (dated 15 November 1932) he left the choice of pseudonym to him and to Gollancz. Four days later, he wrote to Moore, suggesting the pseudonyms P. S. Burton (a name he used when tramping), Kenneth Miles, George Orwell, and H. Lewis Allways.[29] He finally adopted the nom de plume George Orwell because, as he told Eleanor Jacques, "It is a good round English name."

Hi, concerning this edit on Niccolò Machiavelli, I am not sure I understand what the purpose was. I have been using the {{quotation}} template which is one of the recommended methods mentioned at the relevant section of MOS? To quote:- "Block quotations can be enclosed between a pair of <blockquote>...</blockquote> HTML tags; or use {{quotation}} or {{quote}}." My reasoning for preferring this format, with its framing around the block, is to avoid confusion about where the block quotes are especially in areas where there are images - and of course for consistency. -- Andrew Lancaster ( talk) 14:30, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Essentially, what you need to get hold of is an email from the rights holder or a representative of the rights holder, stating that they are the rights holder and how if it's not obvious, and selecting the license under which license they want the image released. Obviously, not everyone is going to be willing to release- news agencies and the like which make a living out of their photographs will not be keen. In biographies, the subject themselves or agencies representing the subject will often be willing to release a picture (though they don't always own the ones they try to give us) but that's not much help in this case. For the Chicago Museum pictures, the real question is who they belong to, as it's not immediately obvious that the rights belong to the museum, especially for the older images. It's certainly worth a bash though- find an appropriate email address, and send one off! I've found it's very helpful to be fairly formal (although, of course, they will probably reply somewhat less formally) and mention that you're a Wikipedia editor. There is this and this page which give advice, but I've not read them. Hitting people with a wall of legalese is very off-putting; I typically just mention Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 and point them to this page. Hope these thoughts have been helpful.

The Swedish language
The Swedish language is, from a linguistic and cultural point of view, subjected to negative influence from, for example our use of international Internet-communication and multi-national advertising campaigns in Swedish commercial television. It is foremost the English language, often in bad translations of the Anglo-American, that is prevalent. This finding does not constitute an condemnation neither of modern technology or advertising. However, many of these expressions gives rise to problems. In a situation where we as members of the EU is to protect our national identity, and its primary expression, our common language, it is essential that the protection of the language and its development is formalized and given high priority.
The language is living, ie. it is in constant and continuous natural development. A pure language, known as purism, like that the of a century since late Viktor Rydberg sought is not possible nor desirable. Neither Iceland's system of protection of their own language should be fully applicable for us. However, language, unless it is to be damaged, must developed in accordance with its own structures. We need a body (organ/agency) that is continuously working with the daily evolution of the terms and concepts wich represents the linguistic expression of new phenomena. The Swedish Acdemy were given the duty, from the founding king, to work with the Swedish language and to publish a dictionary and a grammar. The grammar, the first official Swedish is to be published, hopefully, by 1996. The dictionary, which, given on what has been said about the development of language, never really can be completely finished, have been in issue since more than a century and is likely to be completed to the last letter by the start of the next century.
It is therefore unlikely that it would be appropriate for the Academy with their current obligation as stewards of the linguistic heritage, to be responsible for actively working with the linguistic renewal. The Academy's independent status does not admit such an obligation from parliament. There is, however, given the linguistic assault, as we daily can see in both spoken and written, a need for a institution with a direct mandate to both provide guidance and as an authoritative body deliver powerful reactions to the occurring madness.
It is also important, in view of those who must learn language from scratch, our youngest school children and our immigrants, they do not face unnecessary difficulties by language signals from schools and mass media. Laxity and relativism in language reinforces communication problems and thus increases the tension between generations and between different social and ethnic groups. It is a social handicap no to master language. That such problems are created are not acceptable. Lack of feeling for language, a craze for the Anglo-American and non-responses from authoritative direction has led some TV employees to conclude shows with Det var allt för nu (That's all for now), we are imperatively ordered (!) to ha en bra dag (Have a nice day!) or to us through advertising on their breakfast cereal X asked:You have not forgotten how good X is, did you? (Have you?) It provides not in itself confusion, but impairs our sense of language and style. When the marketing people had nowhere to go for a name for a new product, for what should have be called a pocket stereo", so they created the English (?) word free-style, as none of the English-speaking part of understand the world, for which it means many other things. I want describe this as a linguistic embarrassment, worse than advent of Samhall, Gul och Blå and Skanska.
In Parliament, there is talk of hearing rather than utfrågning, and traineeutbildning, which is almost to consider as mix-linguistic tautology. Allmän-Tv:n and corresponding radio is called public service companies, in enquires they write about PublicAccess and Management, when there may be more purely Swedish options, officials in the economic sector are employed as Controllers, and in today's newspapers can I find wanted ads where teknisk support is look for. The list is infinitely long. Precisely therefore it is expedient to establish a authoritative body, which, in concert with linguistic institutions is given the task of caring for the Swedish language.
Request
With reference to the foregoing the following is requested
that the parliament to the government announces as their opinion what been given in the motion in regard to action for the care and protection of the Swedish language.

I noticed the change in spacing that you did at Erwin Rommel and reverted it, not realizing, though, that the actual title of the article was Generalfeldmarschall, and that there was a red link for General Field Marshall. What I did was created a redirect at General Field Marshall to take care of the spacing issues for the Rommel article.

Hi,
I wanted to let you know that I posted a response to your request for The Statesmen's Yearbook over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request in case you're no longer watching that page.

Lovely addiditon to the article. Why not go all the way? Folke the Fat's Ingrid was a daughter of Adela of Flanders and through her and Judith of Flanders we go all the way back to Charlemagne (from where the Swedes named Magnus got that name). SergeWoodzing ( talk) 14:59, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi P.S. Burton,
I've responded to your resource request for the Cambridge History of Scandinavia at Wikipedia:WikiProject Resource Exchange/Resource Request. GabrielF ( talk) 14:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
I moved Mark Singleton (MP), which you created, to Mark Singleton (politician), as per WP:QUALIFIER, a disambiguator in parentheses should be a "noun indicating what the person is noted for being," and where possible should be "a single, recognizable and highly applicable word." "Politician" works fine as long as there is no other article on a politician named Mark Singleton (which there isn't). Additionally, "MP" does not intuitively mean "Member of Parliament" to English speakers in countries that don't have a parliament (to me, it defaults to Military police).
On a side note, I wonder if it would be prudent to move Mark Singleton, the actor, to Mark Singleton (actor), and turn Mark Singleton into a dab page. I don't see the actor or the MP as a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and a Google search turns up several unrelated people before the actor's IMDb page. I'll leave it up to you. Cheers! — KuyaBriBri Talk 14:21, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

The article Sir Samuel Garrard, 4th Baronet has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

A tag has been placed on ...Make You Breathe requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CobaltBlueTony 18:33, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Great Debate (song). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Unfortunately Tomwsulcer has decided to leave the project. FYI please see User talk:Tomwsulcer#Terrorism prevention strategies moved to user space. I had problems with this article, largely because Tomwsulcer was inexperienced and did not write in a NPOV style and had real problems with being unaware of a systemic bias in his writing. The article I moved was well over 150k, so all in all I could see no other quick solution. (See User talk:Tomwsulcer/Terrorism prevention strategies for my conversation on the article with Tomwsulcer)
Because more people have contributed to the article History of citizenship in the United States you might like to open up a discussion on its talk page of what to do with the article now that the principle author has left leaving so many problems behind.

Hi, I found your name listed in the resource exchange list. I've been working on the article about Tošo Dabac, a Croatian photographer whose photos were included in a few group exhibitions held in the United States in the 1930s and I was wondering whether you could try looking up if The New Yorker had published some exhibition review or any piece of text that might mention Dabac. I think some of these exhibitions must have been a notable enough event for The New Yorker to cover it, and I'm hoping some citation could be extracted if they did.
This is the list of exhibitions in the US which featured his works:
Also, it may be helpful to keep in mind that Croatia was at the time part of Yugoslavia, and if he is mentioned somewhere, they probably classified him as Yugoslav(ian). I know this is a long shot but I had to try it. Many thanks Timbouctou ( talk) 14:41, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

...Down and Out in Paris and London which he wished to publish under an assumed name. In a letter to Moore (dated 15 November 1932) he left the choice of pseudonym to him and to Gollancz. Four days later, he wrote to Moore, suggesting the pseudonyms P. S. Burton (a name he used when tramping), Kenneth Miles, George Orwell, and H.

Hi, concerning this edit on Niccolò Machiavelli, I am not sure I understand what the purpose was. I have been using the {{quotation}} template which is one of the recommended methods mentioned at the relevant section of MOS? To quote:- "Block quotations can be enclosed between a pair of <blockquote>...</blockquote> HTML tags; or use {{quotation}} or {{quote}}." My reasoning for preferring this format, with its framing around the block, is to avoid confusion about where the block quotes are especially in areas where there are images - and of course for consistency. -- Andrew Lancaster ( talk) 14:30, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

The planned augmentation of the History of French era Tunisia has not been accomplished, but remains high priority. Unfortunately, my scheduled October trip to Tunisia resulted in a massive information intake that I have not, so far, fully understood. This has temporarilly interfered with my continuation of the article. Of course, I regret having to extend the date; I expect the article to be substantially complete during December.

Hey. Essentially, what you need to get hold of is an email from the rights holder or a representative of the rights holder, stating that they are the rights holder and how if it's not obvious, and selecting the license under which license they want the image released. Obviously, not everyone is going to be willing to release- news agencies and the like which make a living out of their photographs will not be keen. In biographies, the subject themselves or agencies representing the subject will often be willing to release a picture (though they don't always own the ones they try to give us) but that's not much help in this case. For the Chicago Museum pictures, the real question is who they belong to, as it's not immediately obvious that the rights belong to the museum, especially for the older images. It's certainly worth a bash though- find an appropriate email address, and send one off! I've found it's very helpful to be fairly formal (although, of course, they will probably reply somewhat less formally) and mention that you're a Wikipedia editor. There is this and this page which give advice, but I've not read them. Hitting people with a wall of legalese is very off-putting; I typically just mention Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 and point them to this page. Hope these thoughts have been helpful.

Thank you for reviewing Have a nice day at Talk:Have a nice day/GA1. You mentioned the phrase "Ha en bra dag!" which is Swedish equivalent of "have a nice day". Are any of the sources in this Google Books search link usable for the article? Or the sources in this Google News Archive search? I cannot read Swedish so I hope you can take a look at the sources for me. Maybe there is something about "Ha en bra dag" becoming more common.

The Swedish language
The Swedish language is, from a linguistic and cultural point of view, subjected to negative influence from, for example our use of international Internet-communication and multi-national advertising campaigns in Swedish commercial television. It is foremost the English language, often in bad translations of the Anglo-American, that is prevalent. This finding does not constitute an condemnation neither of modern technology or advertising. However, many of these expressions gives rise to problems. In a situation where we as members of the EU is to protect our national identity, and its primary expression, our common language, it is essential that the protection of the language and its development is formalized and given high priority.
The language is living, ie. it is in constant and continuous natural development. A pure language, known as purism, like that the of a century since late Viktor Rydberg sought is not possible nor desirable. Neither Iceland's system of protection of their own language should be fully applicable for us. However, language, unless it is to be damaged, must developed in accordance with its own structures. We need a body (organ/agency) that is continuously working with the daily evolution of the terms and concepts wich represents the linguistic expression of new phenomena. The Swedish Acdemy were given the duty, from the founding king, to work with the Swedish language and to publish a dictionary and a grammar. The grammar, the first official Swedish is to be published, hopefully, by 1996. The dictionary, which, given on what has been said about the development of language, never really can be completely finished, have been in issue since more than a century and is likely to be completed to the last letter by the start of the next century.
It is therefore unlikely that it would be appropriate for the Academy with their current obligation as stewards of the linguistic heritage, to be responsible for actively working with the linguistic renewal. The Academy's independent status does not admit such an obligation from parliament. There is, however, given the linguistic assault, as we daily can see in both spoken and written, a need for a institution with a direct mandate to both provide guidance and as an authoritative body deliver powerful reactions to the occurring madness.
It is also important, in view of those who must learn language from scratch, our youngest school children and our immigrants, they do not face unnecessary difficulties by language signals from schools and mass media. Laxity and relativism in language reinforces communication problems and thus increases the tension between generations and between different social and ethnic groups. It is a social handicap no to master language. That such problems are created are not acceptable. Lack of feeling for language, a craze for the Anglo-American and non-responses from authoritative direction has led some TV employees to conclude shows with Det var allt för nu (That's all for now), we are imperatively ordered (!) to ha en bra dag (Have a nice day!) or to us through advertising on their breakfast cereal X asked:You have not forgotten how good X is, did you? (Have you?) It provides not in itself confusion, but impairs our sense of language and style. When the marketing people had nowhere to go for a name for a new product, for what should have be called a pocket stereo", so they created the English (?) word free-style, as none of the English-speaking part of understand the world, for which it means many other things. I want describe this as a linguistic embarrassment, worse than advent of Samhall, Gul och Blå and Skanska.
In Parliament, there is talk of hearing rather than utfrågning, and traineeutbildning, which is almost to consider as mix-linguistic tautology. Allmän-Tv:n and corresponding radio is called public service companies, in enquires they write about PublicAccess and Management, when there may be more purely Swedish options, officials in the economic sector are employed as Controllers, and in today's newspapers can I find wanted ads where teknisk support is look for. The list is infinitely long. Precisely therefore it is expedient to establish a authoritative body, which, in concert with linguistic institutions is given the task of caring for the Swedish language.
Request
With reference to the foregoing the following is requested
that the parliament to the government announces as their opinion what been given in the motion in regard to action for the care and protection of the Swedish language.

I noticed the change in spacing that you did at Erwin Rommel and reverted it, not realizing, though, that the actual title of the article was Generalfeldmarschall, and that there was a red link for General Field Marshall. What I did was created a redirect at General Field Marshall to take care of the spacing issues for the Rommel article. Just letting you know, but in reality I'm pretty sure that Generalfeldmarschall should use the common English name of General Field Marshall, per wikipedia naming conventions.-- Jojhutton ( talk) 12:53, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

I moved Mark Singleton (MP), which you created, to Mark Singleton (politician), as per WP:QUALIFIER, a disambiguator in parentheses should be a "noun indicating what the person is noted for being," and where possible should be "a single, recognizable and highly applicable word." "Politician" works fine as long as there is no other article on a politician named Mark Singleton (which there isn't). Additionally, "MP" does not intuitively mean "Member of Parliament" to English speakers in countries that don't have a parliament (to me, it defaults to Military police).
On a side note, I wonder if it would be prudent to move Mark Singleton, the actor, to Mark Singleton (actor), and turn Mark Singleton into a dab page. I don't see the actor or the MP as a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and a Google search turns up several unrelated people before the actor's IMDb page. I'll leave it up to you.
