Salut Rama, j'aimerais bien savoir comment marche la lutte contre le copyvio sure en: après avoir eu la surprise de me faire réverter par un admin après avoir signalé un copyvio via le modèle {{ db-g12}}. Je trouve qu'il y a deux problèmes, l'apposition d'un modèle n'est généralement pas suffisante pour décrire en quoi consiste le copyvio, cependant il ne semble pas que les admins aient pour habitude de lire la page de discussion correspondante. En fait il me semble que cette lemplate sert surtout pour passer en SI les copyvios bruts de décoffrage détectés en RC mais n'est pas adaptée aux copyvios plus profonds dans l'historique. Dans le cas présent, au moment où j'avais détecté le copyvio, tout l'article était de fait à passer en SI puisque toutes les versions étaient copyvios (puis est venu un autre éditeur peu au fait des règles de copyvio qui a jugé bon de supprimer le bandeau et de transformer l'article en ébauche mais c'est une autre histoire). Cependant, il m'est arrivé dans un autre cas d'avoir à faire avec un article ou seulement certaines versions étaient contaminées, j'ai utilisé ce même bandeau, n'en trouvant pas d'autre adapté et un admin a supprimé la chose. J'ai eu toutes les [ peines du monde] à obtenir qu'il restaure des versions non contaminées. Donc est ce qu'il n'existerait pas un bandeau permettant d'expliquer clairement en quoi consiste le copyvio et en précisant ce qu'on attend des admins de manières à ce qu'ils ne fassent pas n'importe quoi, passage de buldozer ou revert. Voilà, j'espère ne pas trop t'importuner avec mes déboires :) mais j'avoue que le coup de l'admin qui reverte une détection de copyvio je l'ai mauvaise...-- Kimdime ( talk) 11:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi there Rama. I was wondering if you could take a look at Talk:July 12, 2007 Baghdad airstrike#The video file is biased? I have no idea how one would go about converting a 600MB .mp4 file to several .ogv ones. If you could possibly do that, I would be very appreciative. NW ( Talk) 03:48, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is International response to Hurricane Katrina. 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/International response to Hurricane Katrina (2nd nomination). 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.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:International Brigades poster2.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 '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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Vanjagenije ( talk) 10:28, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Auguste Mayer's "Battle of Trafalgar"-- I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ ( talk) 01:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rama, you have tried by failed to implement your actually very good proposal about certain images on Commons. Here's the chance to implement it on Wikipedia while fully complying with Wikipedia policies.
Let's first talk about the applied policies please (it is concerning user pages)
So, in accordance to all of the above could you please remove Image:Nonazis2.gif together with the text below it from that?
You probably wonder, if there were precedents of such removals. Yes, there were. Here's one.
Also please take a look at the user talk page. The user, who called another editor "nazi", claimed censorship, and so on found full support of the user:RolandR, and even was awarded by him. This fact alone speaks the volumes about user:RolandR.
In the situation with that particular cartoon, the text below it is an offensive as the cartoon itself, and by request I could provide full explanations why it is. It is up to you, Rama, to show that you meant business back at commons
Thanks.--

That's an interesting one. It doesn't look like the T110 engine - it has that circular cover on the side of the engine immediately underneath the cooling vanes. It looks like a Bonneville engine which is what makes me think it is actually a Tiger T90. I'm not enough of an expert on those early Triumphs to be 100% certain though. Do some googling on T90 images and you'll see what I mean e.g. http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/10691.jpg

Hi there; may I take you back past some two years of history. The French battleship Charles Martel is one of some 46 stub-class aricles which we are trying to improve. On the article talk page you appear quite clear that the ship laid down in 1882 is the same one as the one that was launched in 1893. All of my sources - Jane, Conway, Gibbons - all are quite certain that the early ship was cancelled, together with "Brennus", and the ship which existed was authorised and laid down in 1891. I concede that none of my sources are French. If you feel that your source is reliable, could I ask you to name it? Thank you. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 19:54, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Because there are so many things called "Wolf River", "Wolf this" or "Wolf that", we recently went through and culled all those that aren't, at least according to their articles, commonly known simply as "(the) Wolf(ves)". Is there any reason to believe that a user looking for the Brigade would simply type in "w-o-l-f" and therefore arrive at the disambiguation page to find its link there useful? On those grounds hundreds of other articles were removed and it's much more usable now, but if we allow the brigade then why not all the rest, and we'll have another mess. Chrisrus ( talk) 03:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I have a problem with the article White Argentine. In the article I mentioned many people who are Argentine by birth and by option (they immigrated when they were children and stayed in Argetnina until their death, or they are now living there). All those people mentioned in the article are perfectly Caucasian by phenotype, and all have European/Middle Eastern ancestry. To see the names, check this older version of the article, for they are now removed. This is because some users appeared criticizing the article and alleging that mentioning all those persons without a source that explicitly define them as "White Argentine/Argentinian" was a breach to Wikipedia's BLP policy. Is that true? Because I read the article of WP policy on categorization by ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality, and the topic "Race" is still under dispute. Besides, one of the users that criticizes the article is also involved in the proposal/discussion/RfC of the policy itself. If the matter isn't still resolved, can they apply a rule that it is not fully valid yet? If I provide sources that every living Argentine mentioned in the article is of predominantly European ancestry, isn't that enough to define him/her as White? Please, help me clarify this doubt.-- Pablozeta ( talk) 12:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:SFOR-badge.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too.

Hello -- noticed you are the sole editor of this article. I would like to expand the article a bit to discuss both the naval and ground-based (AA) roles of the Bofors 57mm/60 and to mention some of the other nations that used this system. The text you have already placed into the article would be of course preserved. If these changes are to be made, I also propose moving the title of the article to not include modèle 1951 as the article would address more than one variant of the weapon. Thoughts? Cheers, W. B.

A tag has been placed on File:Affiche rouge.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. noclador ( talk) 12:46, 2 December 2011 (UTC)

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Hi Rama, I've been on hiatus from Wikipedia for the last 18 months, hence the lack of communication - hope you've been well in the meanwhile. I'm currently working on a series of articles on actions off Brest in 1794-1795 and the British sources I have access to are vague on the French casualties and captains involved. The actions in question are the Capture of Alexander, Cornwallis's Retreat and the Battle of Groix - do you have access to a source that gives the French casualties in these actions and confirms the list of captains currently given in the article First Battle of Groix? Any help would be much appreciated.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 22:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Bonjour Rama L'article French battleship Dunkerque dans le Wiki anglais est en passe d'être classé Good Article, après avoir été sérieusement remanié quant à la forme par User:Parsecboy. Il se trouve que j'y ai apporté précedemment pas d'éléments de fait, d'ordre technique. En le relisant, un point me chiffonne, au sujet du sabordage de Toulon, cette phrase :«Her captain, capitaine de vaisseau Amiel, refused to scuttle his ship without a written order, but was finally convinced by the captain of the nearby La Galissonnière.» Il semble que ce soit vous qui l'avez ajouté... en septembre 2006. Or je n'ai pas retrouvé trace de ce point dans la littérature dont je dispose, la citation que fait Parsecboy (p.74 du livre de R.Dumas dans «Les cuirassés Dunkerque et Strasbourg» ne porte que sur le sabordage et non sur l'attitude du Capitaine de Vaisseau Amiel, et dans le livre de J. Jordan et R. Dumas «French battleships 1922-1956», il y a un plan de Toulon, lors du sabordage, p. 91, qui situe La Galissonnière dans la darse Missiessy et le Dunkerque dans un des grands bassins Vauban, ce qui rend assez improbable un contact entre les deux commandants. Bref, si c'est vous qui avez ajouté cette information (mais je peux me tromper, car la consultation de l'historique d'un article, à cinq ans de distance n'est pas chose aisée), vous en avez sûrement la source.

Hi Rama, Are you preparing an article on the "Action of 22 October 1794"? Just checking. Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 14:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Rama, it seems you know a great deal about the Napoleonic era and i was wondering if you knew of any sources (primary or secondary) regarding a General Louis Francois Jeannet-Oudin and his activities in the Caribbean around 1800. I know his brother was part of a triumvirate administration of Guadeloupe around the same time and that he later served in Europe, but i have barely been able to discover anything about him during his his stay in the Caribbean. I've been doing some research on the French perspective of the quasi-war and while i can find plenty of information regarding events in Haiti and Guiana during the time, the rest of the French colonies are quite poorly covered in American sources. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated. XavierGreen ( talk) 01:59, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

Many thanks for uploading your photo of the statue illustrating this fable. It is very difficult to locate such work relating to fables on WikiCommons, not just because of their comparative rarity but because of copyright restrictions on photos of 3D objects.

Salut Rama, j'aimerais bien savoir comment marche la lutte contre le copyvio sure en: après avoir eu la surprise de me faire réverter par un admin après avoir signalé un copyvio via le modèle {{ db-g12}}. Je trouve qu'il y a deux problèmes, l'apposition d'un modèle n'est généralement pas suffisante pour décrire en quoi consiste le copyvio, cependant il ne semble pas que les admins aient pour habitude de lire la page de discussion correspondante. En fait il me semble que cette lemplate sert surtout pour passer en SI les copyvios bruts de décoffrage détectés en RC mais n'est pas adaptée aux copyvios plus profonds dans l'historique. Dans le cas présent, au moment où j'avais détecté le copyvio, tout l'article était de fait à passer en SI puisque toutes les versions étaient copyvios (puis est venu un autre éditeur peu au fait des règles de copyvio qui a jugé bon de supprimer le bandeau et de transformer l'article en ébauche mais c'est une autre histoire). Cependant, il m'est arrivé dans un autre cas d'avoir à faire avec un article ou seulement certaines versions étaient contaminées, j'ai utilisé ce même bandeau, n'en trouvant pas d'autre adapté et un admin a supprimé la chose. J'ai eu toutes les [ peines du monde] à obtenir qu'il restaure des versions non contaminées. Donc est ce qu'il n'existerait pas un bandeau permettant d'expliquer clairement en quoi consiste le copyvio et en précisant ce qu'on attend des admins de manières à ce qu'ils ne fassent pas n'importe quoi, passage de buldozer ou revert. Voilà, j'espère ne pas trop t'importuner avec mes déboires :) mais j'avoue que le coup de l'admin qui reverte une détection de copyvio je l'ai mauvaise...-- Kimdime ( talk) 11:10, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Auguste Mayer's "Battle of Trafalgar"-- I′d※<3※Ɵɲɛ ( talk) 01:42, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
Hi Rama, you have tried by failed to implement your actually very good proposal about certain images on Commons. Here's the chance to implement it on Wikipedia while fully complying with Wikipedia policies.
Let's first talk about the applied policies please (it is concerning user pages)
So, in accordance to all of the above could you please remove Image:Nonazis2.gif together with the text below it from that?
You probably wonder, if there were precedents of such removals. Yes, there were. Here's one.
Also please take a look at the user talk page. The user, who called another editor "nazi", claimed censorship, and so on found full support of the user:RolandR, and even was awarded by him. This fact alone speaks the volumes about user:RolandR.
In the situation with that particular cartoon, the text below it is an offensive as the cartoon itself, and by request I could provide full explanations why it is. It is up to you, Rama, to show that you meant business back at commons
Thanks.--

That's an interesting one. It doesn't look like the T110 engine - it has that circular cover on the side of the engine immediately underneath the cooling vanes. It looks like a Bonneville engine which is what makes me think it is actually a Tiger T90. I'm not enough of an expert on those early Triumphs to be 100% certain though. Do some googling on T90 images and you'll see what I mean e.g. http://classic-motorbikes.net/images/gallery/10691.jpg

Hi there; may I take you back past some two years of history. The French battleship Charles Martel is one of some 46 stub-class aricles which we are trying to improve. On the article talk page you appear quite clear that the ship laid down in 1882 is the same one as the one that was launched in 1893. All of my sources - Jane, Conway, Gibbons - all are quite certain that the early ship was cancelled, together with "Brennus", and the ship which existed was authorised and laid down in 1891. I concede that none of my sources are French. If you feel that your source is reliable, could I ask you to name it? Thank you. -- Anthony Bradbury "talk" 19:54, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Because there are so many things called "Wolf River", "Wolf this" or "Wolf that", we recently went through and culled all those that aren't, at least according to their articles, commonly known simply as "(the) Wolf(ves)". Is there any reason to believe that a user looking for the Brigade would simply type in "w-o-l-f" and therefore arrive at the disambiguation page to find its link there useful? On those grounds hundreds of other articles were removed and it's much more usable now, but if we allow the brigade then why not all the rest, and we'll have another mess.

Hi, I have a problem with the article White Argentine. In the article I mentioned many people who are Argentine by birth and by option (they immigrated when they were children and stayed in Argetnina until their death, or they are now living there). All those people mentioned in the article are perfectly Caucasian by phenotype, and all have European/Middle Eastern ancestry. To see the names, check this older version of the article, for they are now removed. This is because some users appeared criticizing the article and alleging that mentioning all those persons without a source that explicitly define them as "White Argentine/Argentinian" was a breach to Wikipedia's BLP policy. Is that true? Because I read the article of WP policy on categorization by ethnicity, gender, religion and sexuality, and the topic "Race" is still under dispute. Besides, one of the users that criticizes the article is also involved in the proposal/discussion/RfC of the policy itself. If the matter isn't still resolved, can they apply a rule that it is not fully valid yet? If I provide sources that every living Argentine mentioned in the article is of predominantly European ancestry, isn't that enough to define him/her as White? Please, help me clarify this doubt.-- Pablozeta ( talk) 12:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on File:Affiche rouge.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Hi Rama, I've been on hiatus from Wikipedia for the last 18 months, hence the lack of communication - hope you've been well in the meanwhile. I'm currently working on a series of articles on actions off Brest in 1794-1795 and the British sources I have access to are vague on the French casualties and captains involved. The actions in question are the Capture of Alexander, Cornwallis's Retreat and the Battle of Groix - do you have access to a source that gives the French casualties in these actions and confirms the list of captains currently given in the article First Battle of Groix? Any help would be much appreciated.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 22:04, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
Bonjour Rama L'article French battleship Dunkerque dans le Wiki anglais est en passe d'être classé Good Article, après avoir été sérieusement remanié quant à la forme par User:Parsecboy. Il se trouve que j'y ai apporté précedemment pas d'éléments de fait, d'ordre technique. En le relisant, un point me chiffonne, au sujet du sabordage de Toulon, cette phrase :«Her captain, capitaine de vaisseau Amiel, refused to scuttle his ship without a written order, but was finally convinced by the captain of the nearby La Galissonnière.» Il semble que ce soit vous qui l'avez ajouté... en septembre 2006. Or je n'ai pas retrouvé trace de ce point dans la littérature dont je dispose, la citation que fait Parsecboy (p.74 du livre de R.Dumas dans «Les cuirassés Dunkerque et Strasbourg» ne porte que sur le sabordage et non sur l'attitude du Capitaine de Vaisseau Amiel, et dans le livre de J. Jordan et R. Dumas «French battleships 1922-1956», il y a un plan de Toulon, lors du sabordage, p. 91, qui situe La Galissonnière dans la darse Missiessy et le Dunkerque dans un des grands bassins Vauban, ce qui rend assez improbable un contact entre les deux commandants. Bref, si c'est vous qui avez ajouté cette information (mais je peux me tromper, car la consultation de l'historique d'un article, à cinq ans de distance n'est pas chose aisée), vous en avez sûrement la source. Merci de vos lumières. Paul-Pierre Valli ( talk) 16:19, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I am involved with a research project for Michigan State University and am wondering if you would be able to answer a few questions regarding tool sets on Wikipedia. What were the tools you mainly used prior to becoming an admin, and after becoming an admin? Here is a link to the project if you are interested Wikipedia:United States Education Program/Courses/Wiki-Project Management (Jonathan Obar) , and if you have any questions please let me know. Thanks! Ltezl ( talk) 22:27, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When you recently edited French frigate Sibylle (1801), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Sybil ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This is just a quick thankyou for all your work on French naval vessels. I notice that your articles on en:wiki are more detailed at times than the articles on fr:wiki. Great stuff - bonne continuation ! Buckshot06 (talk) 02:26, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rama, Are you preparing an article on the "Action of 22 October 1794"? Just checking. Regards, Acad Ronin ( talk) 14:23, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello Rama, it seems you know a great deal about the Napoleonic era and i was wondering if you knew of any sources (primary or secondary) regarding a General Louis Francois Jeannet-Oudin and his activities in the Caribbean around 1800. I know his brother was part of a triumvirate administration of Guadeloupe around the same time and that he later served in Europe, but i have barely been able to discover anything about him during his his stay in the Caribbean. I've been doing some research on the French perspective of the quasi-war and while i can find plenty of information regarding events in Haiti and Guiana during the time, the rest of the French colonies are quite poorly covered in American sources. Any suggestions would be extremely appreciated. XavierGreen ( talk) 01:59, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
You are an old-timer on WP and I am a new guy so I wanted to try and understand the photo on the article WP:Water Filter entitled "A large-scale flocculation water filter." The picture appears to be a dissolved air floatation basin and does not have anything to do with filtration. Please advise me what the photo means. Drinkingwaterdoc ( talk) 20:48, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
Many thanks for uploading your photo of the statue illustrating this fable. It is very difficult to locate such work relating to fables on WikiCommons, not just because of their comparative rarity but because of copyright restrictions on photos of 3D objects. I was therefore delighted to have the article illustrated in this way by a statue I admire. I have now moved it to the head of the article. Mzilikazi1939 ( talk) 23:21, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
It's the standard for WP:SHIPS that when a ship changes navies it merits a new page. Sao Paulo and Foch don't have a snowball's chance of being merged, just FYI. - The Bushranger One ping only 06:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Rama, Template:Did you know nominations/French corvette Sphinx (1829) I nominated your new article for DYK. I wonder if you would remove the Stub template at the bottom, at least until after DYK has gone through its process? Stubs are not eligible for DYK. Maile66 ( talk) 00:22, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
