Speedy deletion nomination of File:Community.png
A tag has been placed on File:Community.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
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 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.

Your Question
Hi there! I have just answered your question on the Mathematics Reference Desk. I think it's quite a rigorous answer ([1]). Please message me if I haven't explained anything properly. •• Fly by Night (talk) 15:50, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Huggle (HG)
Actually, since you are an admin here at EnWp, you can try assigning yourself the rollbacker flag and see if it works. Wikipedia:Huggle/Download says the rollback flag is required in order to use the tool. /HeyMid (contributions) 11:06, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Ach, still unable to login, I'm afraid! It Is Me Here t / c 11:24, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
- Which version do you currently use? Is it the latest one (0.9.6)?
- Which version was the last one that worked for you?
- Try downloading a older version of Huggle.
- What is your error message when you try to log in to EnWp through Huggle?
- Try the test wiki. What happens then? What is your error message? I think it would be the Huggle not enabled error.

nonsensical edit
This edit does not make sense. It said something like "Chevrolet does not have this feature. This feature is one of the main advantages of Ford." You changed it to say "Although Chevrolet does not have this feature, this feature is one of the main advantages of Ford."
Two things were being contrasted with each other: (1) the Riemaan integral, and (2) the Lebesgue integral. The article was saying that the Riemann integral lacks certain features that the Lebesgue integral has, and that is one of the main advantages of the Lebesgue integral over the Riemann integral. If you don't understand that, then you don't understand what this passage says. Michael Hardy (talk) 21:01, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Oh right. It's just that, the way it was, I read it as "The theorem does not work for Riemann, and it is really powerful and so people use Lebesgue" - so the way I had read it, I thought that dominated convergence was a part of Lebesgue, and so it didn't make sense to use and since the first clause undermined the second one, rather than agreeing with it. Anyway, you're right that I don't understand, but the explanation is a little fuzzy and so should be made clearer. The way you explained it just now (after the sentence about cars) is better than what is up there at the moment, so I suggest you use something like that.

'The Garden' (Joan Miró), Humanities reference desk question Jan 7
I went to the library today and looked through numerous books on Miro. I did not find any reference in any of the books to a 1977 painting titled “the Garden” ,and the your pic does differ significantly in style compare to some of Miro’s paintings in the 70’s (see Carolyn Lanchner, Joan Miro (p430 – 432), New York: Museum of Modern Art; Edition:(MoMA) 1993 ISBN 0870704346). I’m wrong and meltBanana is right, many apologies for the misinformation.
- The picture in question is “the garden of Joan Miro” by Volker Kuhn. Royor (talk) 20:03, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

King's Bench
Yes; notably, the organisations you've highlighted as "every other article" are current institutions, subject to variation during the reign of a female monarch (like, say, now). With historical and defunct organisations, I use the most common name (both in academic parlance and in its history) which, unsuprisingly, is King's rather than Queen's Bench, while making note of the alternate name.

Hi It Is Me Here. Thanks for pointing it out and trying to fix the links.

Deletion of Nick guzman
Hello there. I was wondering why you decided to delete Nick guzman under G1, as the article (as it stood at the time) was not patent nonsense—it just seemed to be an uncredible attempt of importance, thereby satisfying A7. Cheers, —mc10 (t/c) 22:00, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
- The contents of the article were "
Nick Guzman is McAwesome". I'm not convinced that really means anything. It could alternatively have been deleted under G3, I suppose. It Is Me Here t / c 09:59, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Chess font
Hi, do you know if there is a chess font that was used to supply the basic chess piece icons for chess position diagram templates? (I'm wondering if there is a font for it, and, can I get the .ttf file somewhere?) Thanks for help! Ihardlythinkso (talk) 18:46, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

Noticed your edit and summary. WP:CD works for me as a redirect. Did you mistype it? SilkTork ✔Tea time 17:30, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- Ugh, sorry, I had typed WP:Cd (lowercase d). Still, it seems a rather messy state of affairs at the moment – is it worth taking this to RfD? It Is Me Here t / c 18:41, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
- It gets around 100 hits a month, so some people are using it. Unfortunately we don't know who, so we can't ask them if they wanted Wikipedia CD Selection or Centralized discussion. Either way there would need to be a hatnote on one of the likely targets, and as Centralized discussion already has the hatnote, and has slightly more average hits (around 1100 compared to 800), we might as well leave the redirect pointing at Centralized discussion. SilkTork ✔Tea time 10:36, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- I really rather meant that I think it is not a great state of affairs that CD and Cd should point to different targets. Perhaps have e.g. Cd redirect to CD, and CD disambiguate to CD Selection and Centralized Discussion? It Is Me Here t / c 10:50, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- I see what you mean. Yes, your solution makes sense. However, it looks like someone created Cd when CD was redirected to CENT, so somebody wanted a direct shortcut to the other page. Creating a disamb page would make an extra click through for everyone, so nobody gets an improvement. For those people who mistype Cd and end up on Wikipedia CD Selection by mistake, then a hatnote on that page pointing here would serve well enough. That means that those who know CD leads here, and those who know Cd leads elsewhere are all happy, and those who have made a mistake will be redirected. Only those who made a mistake will have the extra click through, rather than everyone. I'll do the hatnote now. If you feel that is not a workable solution then it would be appropriate to get more opinions via RfD, and I would support that. SilkTork ✔Tea time 21:45, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- No, that's fine, thanks – I think your solution (where both articles hatnote-link to each other) is more elegant. It Is Me Here t / c 13:49, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Flag-map
Hello, I wrote to you asking. You have created SVG flag map of Iran, I like the SVG flag map. But the problem is that I do not know SVG graphics. That's why I asked you, could you create SVG flag map of Greater Iran and the Flag-map of Lesotho (1987-2006)? Дмитрий-5-Аверин (talk) 14:03, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
- You mean File:Iran tricolour.svg? (N.B. for future reference it helps in Wikipedia discussions to use internal links and diffs to make it easier for other editors to get to the pages you are talking about.) I'm not sure when you wrote to me before – there is no record of your having edited my user talk page before today. I'm afraid it might be a considerable while before I was able to get back to you with an SVG; you are better off either trying to create one yourself (I used Inkscape to create the image; a link to their website, with download links, a user manual etc., is in the article), or asking the graphics-editing community more generally at Wikipedia:Graphic Lab. Hope that helps. It Is Me Here t / c 14:31, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
Are you sure a history merge was a good idea in this case?
I note your administrative changes to Talk:Te Tai Tokerau. Are you sure a history merge was the best course of action? I reverted the page move myself, but the page Talk:Te Tai Tokerau (New Zealand electorate) had been created by the cut-and-paste move; as a non-admin I could not delete it so I requested a maintenance CSD. Did I do something wrong procedurally? Is there a better course of action for me next time? Many thanks, --MegaSloth (talk) 11:47, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- To be honest I thought a history merge was what you wanted, but that you were not quite sure which was the right template to use. For future reference, {{db-talk}} is usually for e.g. when someone creates a new article, it is CSD-tagged (with {{db-a7}}, say), they add a {{hangon}} template with rationale on the talk page (thereby creating a talk page, obviously), an admin reviews the situation and is not convinced by the rationale and so deletes the article (per A7 or whatever), but does not delete the talk page. Then it would be appropriate to tag the talk page with {{db-g8}}. Hence it was a bit confusing for me since the article page was a redirect, not a recently speedied page, so I assumed that what you meant was that you wanted the talk page moved as well.
- Are you satisfied with the current state of affairs? It Is Me Here t / c 16:06, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe G6? There's A10 for articles that are recreations of other articles (either copied and pasted or simply very basic versions of existing articles, like if someone created What the Olympics are like, which was a very basic version of Modern Olympics). You might want to ask at WT:CSD for more expert guidance. It Is Me Here t / c 11:05, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
FYI: How to Boil a Frog
I was on the point of reverting you until I found you were sysop. I've had articles deleted by other sysops before that were several years old. I'm not aware of any policy arguments why this cannot be deleted. Anyways, it's now up for AFD. --Ohconfucius ¡digame! 14:03, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
- I should have added that the article looked slightly better in the past compared to when I saw it. I'm not saying it won't fail AFD, but I generally tend to err on the side of caution with speedying since (a) more people will get a chance to have a look at/possibly repair the article this way, and (b) criticism of those involved with CSD is usually the reverse of yours.

Question on Ikhlaq ahmad qadri
Just out of curiosity, what claims to notability do you see in Ikhlaq ahmad qadri that made you decline CSD? The article only claims that the subject 1) graduate from university, and 2) is an author of articles (and possibly books? I'm not sure...) I don't see any credible claims to notability here—what am I missing? Livit⇑Eh?/What? 00:32, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- The article asserts, in admittedly less-than-stellar prose, that he was the first ever Urdu-language chronicler (I had put a note to that effect on the talk page). A7 states that claims of notability need not be sourced in order to exempt an article from speedy deletion. Hope that helps. It Is Me Here t / c 01:33, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Good enough... sorry, I missed the notice on the talk page. I'd argue that writing the first chronicles in Urdu is still not horribly notable, but I think the PROD is going to take care of this article anyway, one way or another, so it's not worth starting a kerfluffle over. Thanks! Livit⇑Eh?/What? 01:45, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
