Hello All,
My name is (Redacted), I am Indian by nationality living in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I have great respect for Wikipedia for the wonderful things you are doing to the human kind. We are from an Age where to reach the Information required is quite a struggle and it required a lot of effort to share the information across. It is so joy to see how the information is coming in front of us. In the generation of "Time is money" and "information is wealth" the contribution done by you all is priceless.
From my heart I want to be a part of your team and serve the cause with all my interest and strength. I am currently handling the Application Support for a Well reputed Finance company in the Middle East.I lead a team of 20 members, we take care of the database performance, availability of the sites, handling the application errors, Monitoring the resources and handle the tasks which our application cannot serve. I am confident that with my experience I can be a good player in your wonderful team and can live with pride.

We would like to create a Wiki article that discusses the historical background, and approach to writing, of a recently published historical novel. As the novel is self-published, we have searched the Wiki FAQ and read about Wikipedia's policy regarding such works as the subject for articles.
We have found a handful of novels, such as Shogun, Eragon, Elfquest, and others, that have Wiki articles. In particular, Shogun - while not self-published - discusses the historical basis for the story and characters, and seems a suitable model. Otherwise, we find that the majority of self-published novels have some additional merit, such as having been picked up by a major publisher, or making the best-seller lists, or having been made into a film; in a word, they have some maturity.
So we are wondering if our approach, that of discussing historical sources, issues of that day as they pertain to the events of the novel, and the representation of historical information as it is depicted in the novel, is sufficient to merit a place in Wikipedia.

I just created a new page at User:Toshio Yamaguchi/ToDo 01. In my watchlist, there appears N! in front of the edit. I know N says the edit created a new page. I never recognized the exclamation mark before. When I hover over the exclamation mark it says "This edit has not yet been patrolled".

Videolog is a video-sharing website on which users can upload, share, and view videos. Created in May 2004 by Ariel Alexandre e Edson Mackeenzy, it became one of the main providers from Brazil. Since November 2010, it was partnered with the news portal R7. Popularity Since December 2011, Videolog.tv is ranked #300 in Alexa's brazilian traffic rank, and #12404 in the statistic of globally visited sites. Features Videolog allows the user to upload videos limited to 25 minutes and 400 MB, except for Videologgers PRO where the max filesize is up to 700 MB and unlimited lenght.---- One reason that justifies the article being here in the Wikipedia is this line "Since November 2010, it became part of the news portal R7". R7 article here: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/R7 And the source from the "partnership": http://noticias.r7.com/tecnologia-e-ciencia/noticias/videolog-maior-comunidade-de-videos-no-brasil-chega-ao-r7-20101101.html It belongs to a brazilian television network, as you can see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rede_Record I don't buy the "largest video provider in the country", this can be a way of drawing more people, and it would be inaccurate to write such things in any article from Wikipedia without proof or valid sources. That's why I changed that part to "one of the main video providers from Brazil" in the PT article as well, I mean something like that is more encyclopedic. What do you think? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Perene ( talk • contribs) 20:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
Amatulic, I believe this part will meet WP:CORP: "Audience The source's audience must also be considered. Evidence of attention by international or national, or at least regional, media is a strong indication of notability. On the other hand, attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary." Then again, I could be wrong. Perene ( talk) 20:45, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
http://oglobo.globo.com/tecnologia/brasileira-samba-tech-compra-videolog-2867446 As you can see, Videolog has some importance and was even mentioned by this famous newspaper: O Globo which belongs to: "Globo Organization, the largest media conglomerate of South America[citation needed], founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1925 by Irineu Marinho. It also owns companies on the food industry and the real estate and financial markets." Perene ( talk) 20:50, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

It is the leader in Latin America and the homepage portal is the biggest in the Portuguese speaking world. UOL is currently ranked at Alexa TOP 100." Abril = see Grupo Abril = "the second largest Brazilian media conglomerate with its headquarter in São Paulo. The group is the holding company of Editora Abril, who publishes the weekly newsmagazine Veja". The news report says that Videolog was purchased by a company named "Samba Tech". If the article is restored a quick note about this can be added, I did that minutes ago in the portuguese mirror. |
There, you have it, more than enough reasons to restore this article. If you can, please move to my userspace and I will edit what I didn't mentioned (about this "Samba Tech" deal, which I believe was the only thing missing from qualifying the article to be here).

The panoramic image of the Bayeux Tapestry ( File:Tapisserie de Bayeux 31109.jpg} is not displaying properly for me at the bottom of the section Bayeux Tapestry#Construction, design and technique in our article. All I see is a thin vertical line in the middle of the thumbnail box. I am seeing it properly, however, at the bottom of the lead of the German WP article. Any idea what the problem may be?

For the wikipedia category Category:Redirects_from_German_language_terms, every page title in category is known to be in German, because this is the membership condition for the category. Is there a way to get the category to recognise this and sort umlaut-bearing characters appropriately? I'm aware that I could go through all the members of the category and add a default sort entry, but I was hoping for something that didn't involve that. This issue effects many subcategories of Category:Redirects_from_non-English_language_terms. Stuartyeates ( talk) 23:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

http://oglobo.globo.com/tecnologia/brasileira-samba-tech-compra-videolog-2867446 As you can see, Videolog has some importance and was even mentioned by this famous newspaper: O Globo which belongs to: "Globo Organization, the largest media conglomerate of South America[citation needed], founded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1925 by Irineu Marinho. It also owns companies on the food industry and the real estate and financial markets." Perene ( talk) 20:50, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

If the article is restored a quick note about this can be added, I did that minutes ago in the portuguese mirror. |
There, you have it, more than enough reasons to restore this article. If you can, please move to my userspace and I will edit what I didn't mentioned (about this "Samba Tech" deal, which I believe was the only thing missing from qualifying the article to be here).

The panoramic image of the Bayeux Tapestry ( File:Tapisserie de Bayeux 31109.jpg} is not displaying properly for me at the bottom of the section Bayeux Tapestry#Construction, design and technique in our article. All I see is a thin vertical line in the middle of the thumbnail box. I am seeing it properly, however, at the bottom of the lead of the German WP article. Any idea what the problem may be?

For the wikipedia category Category:Redirects_from_German_language_terms, every page title in category is known to be in German, because this is the membership condition for the category. Is there a way to get the category to recognise this and sort umlaut-bearing characters appropriately? I'm aware that I could go through all the members of the category and add a default sort entry, but I was hoping for something that didn't involve that. This issue effects many subcategories of Category:Redirects_from_non-English_language_terms. Stuartyeates ( talk) 23:29, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
