Proposed deletion of Chris Gulker

The article Chris Gulker has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable individual appears to fail WP:BIO.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ttonyb (talk) 18:19, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Chris Gulker

I have nominated Chris Gulker, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Gulker. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. ttonyb (talk) 01:51, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What a great job you are doing on the article Dave Winer

You really are pulling together so many loose threads that have accumulated over years and weaving them into a coherent, interesting article. I really appreciate the time and thought you put into making Wikipedia better for everybody. betsythedevine (talk) 00:17, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've merely been been pulling the "coverage" out of the "Coverage and interviews" section, putting it into the article body instead. ARK (talk) 11:48, 22 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, ARK. You have new messages at Crusio's talk page.

Ark, please quit adding untruths to my talk page in an attempt to have an admin ban me.--Irelan12 (talk) 16:35, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ark, the Dave Winer page is mostly fluff. A lot of those things are clearly from the company and he did not invent podcasting, rss, or anything else. Lets be fair.--Irelan12 (talk) 18:46, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to 2011 Tottenham riots, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Teapotgeorge^Talk 16:05, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Teapot -- thanks for reverting that piece of vandalism. I can assure you that I did not post it, although it appears under my name (please review my posting history to confirm this statement). I have no idea how this has happened, and I'm rather concerned, frankly, as it looks like my account has been compromised. ARK (talk) 16:20, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:Thatcamp-logo.svg. 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.

Two requests for addition

Hello. May I request an edit for The Jagadish Vasudeva page. In the awards section, one important award must be included. It is - Rashtriya Khel Protsahan Award which is the highest national award for promotion of sports. It has been given to Jagadish Vasudeva. Kindly include it. Another request is the mention of another NY Times bestselling book which is a recent one. It is called "Karma - A Yogi's Guide to Crafting Your Destiny". It has been praised by people like Will Smith, Tom Brady, Tony Robbins, Matthew McConaughey Deepak Chopra, among many others. It is extremely important that this book is mentioned in his Wikipedia page.

July 2023

Hello, ARK. I noticed that your recent edit to Calanca added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. - Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 23:43, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sumanuil: Thanks for catching this error! In 2020, a government body of the Swiss canton of Graubünden issued a full set of the canton's municipal coats of arms in SVG format, among other formats. I'm in the process of uploading these 101 files to Wikimedia Commons and replacing the older, non-official arms in the respective municipalities' Wikipedia articles. Thus, I uploaded the official arms of the municipality of Calanca and inserted it to a number of Wikipedia articles. When adding it to the English Wikipedia, I slipped up and, without noticing, used an incorrect file name. This caused the error you did notice. I shall now add the file to the English Wikipedia's article on Calanca using the correct file name. ARK (talk) 08:53, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
