Notability of SpongeBong HempPants

A tag has been placed on SpongeBong HempPants, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. slakr 19:19, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Please do delete it! --Eqdoktor 19:28, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Destructive attacks on illustrations

How exactly am I supposed to get a replacement photo of Ian Woosnam? He doesn't live next door to me. This is the end of my attempts to help to illustrate Wikipedia, as it is patently a complete waste of time and effort and is not appreciated. I just wanted you to know that your efforts are not appreciated, and in my opinion are destructive to the project, as they demoralise and drive away well meaning contributors. Thanks for nothing. Hawkestone 13:40, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I feel the same way you do. --Eqdoktor 13:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Tiger Woods vandalism tag removal

The tag read: "Editing of this article by unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled until September 29, 2007 (UTC) due to vandalism." In your edit summary, you wrote that it had expired. I'm not so good with tags, so can you explain why it was removed? Thanks. Supertigerman 16:53, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

My bad :P , I could have sworn it read August 29 when I edited it. Very odd that, I blame the August 29 = September 29 brain gremlins. I have reverted the tag as the protection is still in place (IP editors cannot edit). Thanks for the note. --Eqdoktor 06:21, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:StXavier-Logo.png

Thanks for uploading Image:StXavier-Logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 15:52, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Fixed - to the owners of the bot or anyone who reads this who can fix the problem: The image was tagged with a warning because the fair use template was changed since the image was uploaded (and the proper fair use rationales filled out). The image had the proper fair use but since the bot did not check the fields used in the earlier revision, it was tagged improperly. It happened on this revision of the template and will probably happen on any future revs of the fair use template. Hence its less of a hassle to just write out the fair use rationale instead of templates (which is used to make cataloging images easier) to avoid harassment from bots. --Eqdoktor 08:29, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello. :) Since you have been involved in editing the article Spider-Man, I wanted to let you know that we have nominated the article for "Good Article" status. You can view the review page, and if there is anything you can do to make the article better, please do so. :) There are a number of concerns to be addressed and some work to be done, so pitch in if you are able, make any suggestions that you think might be helpful, or at least just be there for moral support. :) BOZ (talk) 00:46, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

NowCommons: File:Flossenburg.jpg

File:Flossenburg.jpg is now available on Wikimedia Commons as Commons:File:Flossenburg.jpg. This is a repository of free media that can be used on all Wikimedia wikis. The image will be deleted from Wikipedia, but this doesn't mean it can't be used anymore. You can embed an image uploaded to Commons like you would an image uploaded to Wikipedia, in this case: [[File:Flossenburg.jpg]]. Note that this is an automated message to inform you about the move. This bot did not copy the image itself. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 14:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Looking for Wikipedia Ambassadors

Hi! I'm leaving you this message because you are listed as a Wikipedian associated with Boston University. The Wikipedia Ambassador Program is currently looking for Campus Ambassadors to help with Wikipedia assignments at schools in Boston and Cambridge, which will be participating in the Public Policy Initiative for the Spring 2011 semester. The role of Campus Ambassadors will be to provide face-to-face training and support for students on Wikipedia-related skills (how to edit articles, how to add references, etc.). This includes doing in-class presentations, running workshops and labs, possibly holding office hours, and in general providing in-person mentorship for students.

Prior Wikipedia skills are not required for the role, as training will be provided for all Campus Ambassadors (although, of course, being an experienced editor is a plus).

If you live near Boston and you are interested in being a Wikipedia Campus Ambassador, or know someone else from the area who might be, please email me or leave a message on my talk page.

If you're an experienced and active Wikipedian, you might be interested alternatively in becoming an Online Ambassador. The role of Online Ambassadors is to serve as mentors for students; it doesn't require any in-person outreach. Take a look at the Online Ambassador guidelines; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term. If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at WP:ONLINE. The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

File source problem with File:Koch ilse.png

Thank you for uploading File:Koch ilse.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:07, 31 December 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 00:07, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
