On 19 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Rubber Room (film), which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that the documentary The Rubber Room claimed that troubled teachers were being held in reassignment centers by the NYC Department of Education? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Rubber Room (film). If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hope you enjoyed your vacation. My other mentor, Pol, went out of the country in June, was due back in July and to my knowledge never came back. Can we do some work soon? Would be great to get my user page looking like I know what I'm doing around here! " Selene Scott ( talk)" —Preceding undated comment added 04:53, 12 August 2012 (UTC)
Great. Are you ready for this to be moved to your userpage or is there more stuff you'd like to add? I'd recommend some more userboxes; there is a great choice at WP:Userboxes/Gallery. Rcsprinter (articulate) @ 10:44, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Bjarne_O.
I have read the section you recommended but I am completely lost as to what you mean I should do...I have inline citations that are from the British Film Institute, Danmarks Radio the country's largest TV station, a Variety review, etc...
Kindly be more explicit about what I need to do to successfully submit this page...
For one of Bjarne O's films, Eye of the Eagle, one of the references is from imdb...I had been told that imdb was not an acceptable reference and yet there is an accepted Eye of the Eagle page...I included that as an external link instead...
I can see that I have neglected to number the footnote list, and can correct that of course, although I am not sure how to get this effect: ^ following the number.
I have been struggling with this for some time. Please be much more explicit about exactly what my article lacks...
Also I am not sure what the problem with this multi-produced, internationally-awarded writer should have demonstrating noteworthiness, for almost a decade and a half his Sven the Bold TV series was unsurpassed in ratings, for example. I note that one of the actors in Eye of the Eagle has a Wiki page: Bjørn Floberg. He has also had an impressive career and been awarded but I find it difficult to see why his page was acceptable and this one is not.
I am not putting down your authority - I am really trying to understand what you mean.
Kindly explain...
Thank you! Bjarnmar ( talk) 15:24, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi Rcsprinter. Good luck with the upcoming week, I hope you do well. You may want to double check your statement and questions for spelling mistakes and other errors (I was picked up on these at my RfA!) Also, make sure you actually answer all parts of questions asked... there's nothing wrong with long answers! Again, good luck. WormTT( talk) 09:18, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
The result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Island province was keep? There were three opinions (including mine as nom), and one was quite misguided. I can see how that would be no consensus, but I don't understand how it could be seen as keep. In what way did the keep 'side' use arguments more in line with wikipedia policy and guidelines?

The final is upon us! We are down to our final 8. A massive 573 was our lowest qualifying score; this is higher than the 150 points needed last year and the 430 needed in 2010. Even in 2009, when points were acquired for mainspace edit count in addition to audited content, 417 points secured a place. That leaves this year's WikiCup, by one measure at least, our most competitive ever. Our finalists, ordered by round 4 score, are:
However, we must also say goodbye to the eight who did not make the final, having fallen at the last hurdle: GreatOrangePumpkin ( submissions), Ealdgyth ( submissions), Calvin999 ( submissions), Piotrus ( submissions), Toa Nidhiki05 ( submissions), 12george1 ( submissions), The Bushranger ( submissions) and 1111tomica ( submissions). We hope to see you all next year.
On the subject of next year, a discussion has been opened here. Come and have your say about the competition, and how you'd like it to run in the future. This brainstorming will go on for some time before more focused discussions/polls are opened. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

We regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. The article Preston Passion appears to contain material copied from http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lancashire-17633443, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:
It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at this temporary page. Leave a note at Talk:Preston Passion saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! IRWolfie- ( talk) 22:51, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on The Snottle requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
