A tag has been placed on MachineGames requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Cntras ( talk) 08:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC) reply

A tag has been placed on Tango Gameworks requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

A page you created, Vir2l Studios, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is obvious advertising or promotional material.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thanks for uploading File:Tango Gameworks.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

A tag has been placed on Ernest Del 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.

The article Robert S. Trump has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No claim to notbility

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. TheLongTone ( talk) 18:58, 8 December 2012 (UTC) reply

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Robert S. Trump is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert S. Trump until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. TheLongTone ( talk) 12:34, 10 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:Harry E. Sloan.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:10, 17 December 2012 (UTC) reply

Even when a company changes its name, we, here on Wikipedia, use the name that's most used in reliable sources per WP:Article titles#Common names; which says "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. This includes usage in the sources used as references for the article. If the name of a person, group, object, or other article topic changes, then more weight should be given to the name used in reliable sources published after the name change than in those before the change." Therefore 4Kids Entertainment should be the article title for now until more reliable sources published after the name change to 4Licensing Corporation. If you still believe the article title should be changed now, you can request the title be changed on the article talk page to get consensus for the title change.

Hi Timur,

I wanted to comment on your edit notes on the Bethesda articles. You often remove games that shouldn't be listed with a note telling people to stop trolling and vandalizing. You should remember to always assume good faith about edits. While these edits tend to be wrong, they are not done in bad faith, simply misunderstanding that Bethesda didn't develope the games in question, merely aided with patches or publishing. Removing the game is fine, but accusations of vandalism is a bit much.

It appears that you have added material to the article Bethesda Softworks using content from the Elder Scrolls wiki.

Thank you for uploading File:Mike Germakian picture.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 11:30, 4 August 2016 (UTC) reply

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.

Hi Timur,

I wanted to comment on your edit notes on the Bethesda articles. You often remove games that shouldn't be listed with a note telling people to stop trolling and vandalizing. You should remember to always assume good faith about edits. While these edits tend to be wrong, they are not done in bad faith, simply misunderstanding that Bethesda didn't develope the games in question, merely aided with patches or publishing. Removing the game is fine, but accusations of vandalism is a bit much.

This is a tough one. My general rule of thumb these days is not to cite a source unless I have the full thing visible to me, to minimize the potential negative consequences of guessing like this. The date disparity is another sticking point for me, so I'm not sure I'd personally use this source.

From what I've been able to dig up, the text on the Wiki appears to be from a May 1995 press release on Bethesda's old site. Unfortunately, only the index page was archived, so we don't have the text body to confirm. I have no idea how the Wiki users were able to obtain the text—my best guesses are that it was mirrored on a '90s fansite or that some later version of Bethesda's official page archived it somewhere.

All this said, if The Free Library had access to that July 1995 press release, that means it's available in one of the other news archive services. If the goal is adding the information about Nesmith to the article, The Wikipedia Library should be able to help with that. So the information shouldn't be lost, even if we don't have the original May date available. JimmyBlackwing ( talk) 18:57, 21 August 2019 (UTC) reply

@ JimmyBlackwing: Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy with other things. I was only saying this because I've read that press release on the free library before it was hammered so to speak. Still i agree we shouldn't use that as a source. I'l check out the Wikipedia Library though. Timur9008 ( talk) 11:00, 23 August 2019 (UTC) reply

Timur9008, thanks for your contributions, but are you sure that Flashpoint Productions warrants its own article? Sources #1, #3 and #4 are all non-independent (either primary sources or interviews from secondary sources), so WP:NCORP and WP:SIGCOV would be instantly failed. I shopped around the web for information when I expanded the relevant section on Bethesda Softworks and this is really all I could find. The topic is probably better off as a redirect to the section on Bethesda's article, but I'd like to hear your take on this. Regards, IceWelder [ ✉] 10:11, 8 July 2020 (UTC) reply

I was going to add another source [ [1]] that they co-developed with Bad Dog, XCar: Experimental Racing but I take it it's not enough to warrant it's own article? If you are going to delete the article then go ahead, I may have jumped the gun here. @ IceWelder Timur9008 ( talk) 13:30, 8 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Having developed a game is not necessarily and indication of notability (side note: the source makes no mention of "Bad Dog"), as significant coverage of the company itself is lacking. The bit that is on Business Examiner is not enough to have an entire article. If look at the article in its current state, it would be verifiable-complete with very little actual content. Compare this with MachineGames, which (albeit compact) is rich in information that regard mostly the company itself. You should consider merging bits that have not been mentioned to Bethesda's section and then redirect Flashpoint there. Regards, IceWelder [ ✉] 10:45, 8 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Hey Timur. Thanks for your recent work uncovering data from old newspapers. I noticed that, whenever you reference Newspapers.com, you cite the full newspaper page. As you note with each reference, these pages have closed access. However, individual clippings can be viewed without a subscription, so you can create a clipping, cite that clipping, and make the source easily verifiable for all other editors. As a bonus, these clippings can even be backed up in the Wayback Machine; a double archival, if you will. Happy editing! IceWelder [ ✉] 11:05, 8 September 2021 (UTC) reply

OK thanks, it is three. :) If you can find out what date and in which newspaper these were published, that would be tremendously helpful! They might not all be on newspapers.com, but let me know which ones you do find!

• Ruth's first husband is wounded: [77] probably published in a Milwaukee newspaper? My information says he was wounded on 10/1/1943 and died on 10/3/1943, so it would be published sometime around then.
• She remarries: [78] This could have been published somewhere in Wisconsin, Tennessee, or Florida, I assume. I believe their marriage date is 1/2/1945.
• Her second husband dies: [79] I believe he died on 10/18/1960 and I am told that this was published in the Jackson Sun in TN.

Sweet, thanks, that was quick. :) I have some leftover obits that I needed to search for from when I was still working on my family's genealogy. I basically paused that soon after the pandemic started; I used to go to the microfilm room at my city's main library branch, but I went back there yesterday and there is no microfilm room anymore. :( They said that I would have to make an appointment and tell them what which reels ahead of time that I want to look at - sounds like a hassle! Instead, I am going to request the librarians to look for them individually one at a time for me and see how far I get! There are less than 10, so we will see how that goes. BOZ ( talk) 14:15, 22 April 2022 (UTC) reply

I got as much as I can out of my library, so if you can help me see what you can find for the rest of these, that would be most appreciated. :) Most of these should be in Chicago area newspapers, but some might be found elsewhere.

• Louise Satow (4/15/1850 - 2/15/1879)
• William Charles Sibley (4/15/1888 IL - 2/1/1967 Pinellas co FL)
• Ernest/Ernst Heinz (8/20/1869 Germany - 4/24/1941 Highland Park IL)
• Virginia Zimmerman Price (12/26/1907 IL – 10/8/1980 Orlando FL)
• Harrison Verdi Price (8/11/1916 Muskegon Heights MI – 8/30/1985 Orlando FL)
• Edwin A. Samson (9/21/1903 Chicago – 11/26/1975 Chicago)

Nice work! I have gone ahead and marked this article as reviewed, however is it possible to expand on it at all? Particularly Gameplay could use more explanation if possible.

I would suggest you move the information in the sales chart in the Hello Kitty article into the notes of List of highest-grossing media franchises instead. Wikipedia articles shouldn't be using other articles as sources, so the data should be in the list article itself anyway. The only other article about a media franchise I found that had a similar chart was the Anpanman article, where it was created by the same sock of a banned user that created the one in the Hello Kitty article.

Several years ago, Wikipedia was offering memberships to HighBeam Research which had copies of many newspaper articles to subscribers, so that people could use them to source Wikipedia articles. I was always kind of leery about this; what happens if Highbeam goes away? Well, it did, and all the old links are dead links now (many of the snippets are in Internet Archive, but those are just snippets and not the whole article). I was wondering with your subscription, would you be willing to replace Highbeam links with newspapers.com links for me when I find them?

I saved Chet Williamson from deletion back in 2015 using nearly a dozen articles on Highbeam. I was wondering if you would be willing to see how many of those you can find and replace with links so that people can see the original newspaper articles?

I'm sure there are plenty of others ( Lisa J. Steele is the only one that immediately comes to mind) that I built or saved this way, but I wouldn't burden you with a big list, only one or two at a time as I find them. BOZ ( talk) 05:56, 31 March 2023 (UTC) reply

The article is looking great, all that really needs work now is the reception.

@ Klbrain: Hi! I believe there is just enough sources to warrant a page + to extract info from said sources. I find the merge strange. Timur9008 ( talk) 16:05, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

There's nothing but routine reviews; it's a cheaply-made and cheaply-sold game that relied on the notability of Sunstorm Interactive's early games, like Deer Hunter (series). That page is too short to warrant splitting off stubs. The specific policy-based reasons for a merge are short text and context. Klbrain ( talk) 17:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

@ Klbrain: Fair enough. Although wouldn't merging to the SCS Software article would have been more correct since they were the main developer of the game? (although by the looks of it both them and Sunstorm developed the game) Timur9008 ( talk) 18:00, 4 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Interesting; those 2001 references seem to point to Sunstorm Interactive, but perhaps after their collapse in 2003 the work was taken on by Sunstorm Interactive for later editions (Hunting Unlimited 2-4 and the later 'year' ones)? Might be a better target, particularly if they're more recent ... I'm very relaxed as to the target!
