Copied one of your user boxes

Hi Takethemud,

I copied your user box for "opposed to online censorship" and put it on my profile. Hope that's all right. Best, Coolmojito 12:57, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi Takethemud, thanks for your reponse on my talk page. By the way, your user boxes were the first ones I added to my bio, so a double thanks. Of course, you'll definitely make it to my favorite people page :-) Best, Coolmojito 01:31, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Florida

Hi Takethemud. I noticed that you started Portal:Florida but didn't get very far. I posted a link to it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Florida. Have a look! -- CQ 07:25, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Portal:Florida

You created Portal:Florida - it's up for deletion at the moment. You might want to read and comment on the discussion. --HughCharlesParker (talk - contribs) 09:29, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Healthcare in Cuba

Hi, an issue concerning referencing has been discussed on the Healthcare of Cuba page, and your name came up. Since you created the page, there has been a considerable amount of work put in by myself and others, including the creation of extensive footnotes using the cite: format. User Ultramarine has requested that as per Wikipedia policy, we change this back to the basic [1] reference system and follow the style you initially implemented. Would you care to comment?--Zleitzen 05:19, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Response to discussion

I responded to your message under the Justin Seay discussion, to let you know. Zchris87v 19:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks very much for your kind comments, Takethemud. Also, belated congratulations for setting up the Cuba portal, which I hope could be a "featured portal" without too much difficulty or work in the near future.--Zleitzen 19:59, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Portal featured status

I offered the Cuba portal up for featured status. It took a bit of a hammering from critics, would you mind taking a look and making any improvements you see fit.--Zleitzen 16:27, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm new to Wikipedia

I'm currently a college student at LMU studying philosophy, can you provide me information how i would go along joinng Wiki Cuba Project. Thanks --Verb0s 09:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I was told to take out everything because it had been previously established as Simpson fan cruft. And, after seeing some of the episodes listed in sections (ie. the Carl example), I just cleared every section I came upon. -- Scorpion 19:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

It should also be noted that if you are preparing the Moe page for a run at GA, the references are in the wrong format and the page will likely not pass with a list like that. Having a category for Moe episodes is an ideal solution: It wouldn't count as list cruft and you could have an easy link from the page. -- Scorpion 19:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm trying to help here and while I understand that having a list means it would be organized and easy to read, but like it or not, most would call it cruft. There was a time when I also would probably have tried to protect such a list, but Wikipedia is not a Simpsons fan site. So, I take it that you dislike the idea of making an "episodes featuring Moe" category and tagging each episode page with a Moe episode with it? -- Scorpion 19:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

As for style, check out the Homer page and try to copy its format. It's a GA. -- Scorpion 19:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't think categories would be deleted if we as a WikiProject came to the consensus that they are okay. Plus, we'd have a strong argument to keep them. Check out this page to see how easily accessible they are. Just add at the bottom "See Also" then "List of Moe-centric episodes" -- Scorpion 19:53, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I meant a category list. Make a category for it, ie "Category:The Simpsons episodes featuring Mr. Burns" then add it to each page. -- Scorpion 20:00, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I think you may have misunderstood. I don't mean start a Wikipedia page, I mean start a category, put said category on every episode page for an episode that features said character and then add a link to that category from that characters page. -- Scorpion 20:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Reply...

Hello, I replied to your comment on my talk page... - Adolphus79 20:14, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

New response

It's funny because I came up with the idea for categories because you wanted to have useless character lists so much. Also, you should have waited until we had a full consensus instead of rushing off and trying to be the very first to get started. The project has decided several times past and present that episodes lists are cruft and not needed. You don't see an "episodes this character featured in" list on the Archie Bunker or Hawkeye Pierce page, do you? -- Scorpion 21:04, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Rigellians.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rigellians.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Cruft?

Yes. I've pointed Scorpion to some relevant guidelines on lists and categories (and the lack of one for "cruft") but have so far failed to convince him that it's really not important that some people might consider such a list "cruft". Perhaps a WP:RFC on the matter would help. I'll take a look at the wikiproject, time permitting. >Radiant< 16:04, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Help with Cuban Legal Term

Can you explain to me what an ABOGADO-NOTARIO means in the Cuban legal sense? My grandfather and great grandfather were that in cuba and I was wondering if you knew the process one bacame one in Cuba and if it is that much different than just a lawyer? Also is there a limit as to how many of those were in Cuba? Are there any records where that info is kept? Callelinea 22:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

AfD Help

Hi, six of my articles have put up by AfD by the same person and are being voted on all by the same persons.. I was wondering if you could look the articles over and the things written on the discussion pages and give me your honest answer as to should they be up for vote or am I being paranoid? The articles are:

• Miguel Luis Tamargo-Bautista
• Vinagre Portillo
• Alonso J. del Portillo-Tamargo
• Alonso R. del Portillo
• Alonso del Portillo-Marcano
• Alonso del Portillo-del Junco

Last week I lost one of my articles and I thought it was a good faith AfD but now with six more up for vote this week I think there is more behind these AfD then good faith. Callelinea 13:21, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I got another AfD

Please look it over and vote on and tell me what you think: Clemente G. Gomez-Rodriguez Callelinea 07:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Could you look over Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carlos Prio-Touzet and put in your thoughts on the matter. Thanks Callelinea 21:24, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Energy portal review

Hi Takethemud. Knowing that you have an interest in an unconnected featured portal, I wondered if you might like to comment on the one I've been working on - energy portal - which is now under consideration for featured status. Compared to other candidates it has had relatively few people contributing to the debate, despite being up for discussion for 2 months. If you have time perhaps you would like to take a look? The candidate page can be found here. Gralo 18:53, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of National Association of Small Farmers

A tag has been placed on National Association of Small Farmers 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. Skomorokh 15:45, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of National Association of Small Farmers

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article National Association of Small Farmers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

non notable farmers'association

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Kang Kodos Hitchhiking.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Kang Kodos Hitchhiking.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. J Milburn (talk) 02:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:The Talpiot Tomb.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:The Talpiot Tomb.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

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. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 19:50, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:55, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Hotel Vedado

The article Hotel Vedado has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

non notable

While all constructive 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.

Welcome to the Months of African Cinema!

Greetings!
