 * Jason: :You're welcome! (In the other sense of welcome...) If you have questions, I'd be happy to help you with them. Since you asked about redirecting, I'll answer that one first:

To create a redirect, first go to the page where you want the redirect (not the page to be redirected to.) For example, if the main article is 123, and you want 456 to redirect there, type 456 in the search box and click "go." When you get the message "No page with that title exists" click on the red link that says "create an article with this title." When that page loads, insert the text #REDIRECT followed by the name of the article to redirect to in double brackets (like you would for a regular internal link), and click "save page". For our example, you would type #REDIRECT 123. That's it!

I hope you're having fun here, and if you have other questions, feel free to ask! -- Essjay ·  Talk 03:32, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Moses-san kebab.jpg

The file File:Moses-san kebab.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern: "Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Welcome to Esperanza!
Welcome, AlbertR, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Marineatlanticlogo.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Marineatlanticlogo.png. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:12, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Russia500rubles97back.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Russia500rubles97back.jpg. 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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 02:25, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:MoralesBermúdezPeru.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MoralesBermúdezPeru.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

File:Switzerland1000francs1996.jpg needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Switzerland1000francs1996.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

 * If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion, or use the own template.

 * If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:20, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Critical accounting policy

In public corporate finance, a "critical accounting policy" is a policy of a firm or industry that is considered to have a notably high subjective element and that has a material impact on the organization's financial statements. Such policies are often mandated to be described in detail in specific sections of a company's annual or quarterly reports. Adopting specific accounting policies and procedures (such as Sarbanes-Oxley) is one method organizations use to ensure adequate controls and transparency in financial reporting and minimize the risk of fraud.

Many accounting policies necessarily involve the subjective valuation of different items in order to give observers the best possible "snapshot" of a company's finances by looking at a single balance sheet or profit and loss statement. For example, a bank that has just made a lot of new loans would look good on one report, but if many of those borrowers later failed to repay, then a subsequent report would look very bad. So generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) would require the bank management (and not the accountants) to estimate how many borrowers would fail to repay and to include those losses alongside the new loans. While there are many situations common to almost all companies where management must make subjective accounting entries, critical accounting policies are often those particular to an industry or company and are judged to be even more subjective than normal.

One of the key reasons many investors and analysts pay attention to critical accounting policies is that their subjective nature is believed to be ripe for abuse through creative accounting, especially slush fund accounting. In slush fund accounting, excess earnings from a good quarter or year are hidden by changing the subjective element of a critical accounting policy. The "hidden funds" can then be put back into the reported profit in a bad quarter. Companies do this because of the general belief that the ideal company is one that consistently and smoothly increases earnings. For example, a clothing store does not show the profit on all the sales it made in the current quarter because it knows that some of those clothes will be returned later and it will have to give back the money. To smooth earnings, in a good quarter, managers can say that they believe that the amount of return will be high. Then, when they have a bad quarter, they can say that they overestimated the value of returns and add the surplus back into that quarter's profit.

Examples
Some examples of critical accounting policies are:

 * A clothing retailer accounts for inventory, taking into consideration the fact that a rough balance of sizes is necessary for any particular piece of clothing on the sales floor.
 * bank's accounting for future unpaid loans
 * A manufacturer or a store accounting for future returned items
 * Mortgage companies accounting for mortgage servicing rights
 * The estimate of bad debts
 * Accounting for the value of derivatives
 * Selecting an appropriate rate and method of depreciation for fixed assets

Image copyright tags
Thanks for uploading Image:Shaysweet.jpg and Image:47vm.jpg. I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to each image to let us know its copyright status?

For instance, if you own the image, you can use gfdl if you release it under the GFDL. Or, should you wish to claim fair use, use the fairuse tag. You can also use promophoto, provided they come from a free site and are used for promotional purposes only (magazines and so forth). There are, of course, other tags as well.

Also, when you tag the page, please include a source (such as a URL of a website), so that we can verify its copyright status.

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thank you and enjoy the Wikipedia! -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. 17:34, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Athens, history of a major power in ancient Greece
Athens, history of a major power in ancient Greece is a potential wikireader I do have in mind. Major issues are fairly well covered with FAs. In my opinion, especially the editors from Pericles and Alcibiades are capabale of extraordinary works and with their help we could create an excellent wikireader. I already discussed the idea with Yannismarou. He is supportive, but lacks time to do the whole task. I'm quite certain this project could benefit from your participation. In the Battle of Marathon, for example, the social tension are mentioned, something that escapes mostly when one only talks about brave soldiers and brilliant statesmen. Naturally this is difficult to research and I do think you might be especially capable of helping us to provide some more useful background on similar issues(food of the rowers and hoplites, social structure and changes, tools and techniques of the craftsmen, silver mining, btw.) to provide more than just a list of engagements and casualties.

What What (In the Butt)
Hi, I'm kind of new to Wikipedida. I saw that you voted to keep the article on "What What (In the Butt)" and I'm wondering if you could help me out again. We tried really hard to fix up the article, add more info, add more links, and make it less spammish. Recently some kid who calls himself Spectre (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Sceptre) removed all the information on the whole page because he thinks it is doesn't show a neutral point of view and is not noteworthy. We already showed that it was noteworthy when it was up for deletion, and the article seems neutral enough to me. How can we stop this guy from vandalizing our article? I have little experience and he's been an administrator, so I feel powerless. If you can help in any way it would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Shatner1 19:55, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I made an account for wikipedia perhaps two year's ago, then drifted away, and just received an email about a new password being created from me.

I changed it, then found a message from you:

I like Wikipedia, but do not have time to work on it at all. I do not like vandals.

I would like to delete my account, as I think someone has been trying to access wikipedia using my account name. Or, someone was spoofing my IP (I use a wireless card and often use public routers, that may be the problem). Either way, I am sorry for the confusion. I have nothing against Edison, NJ, nor do I even know what was posted that constituted vandalism. Thank you for at least bringing it to my attention. Seed

Hello there
You sent me a warning for keep on editing, however it is Akhilleus that keeps on deleting sources, and i just keep on putting them back. Akhilleus has not offered any reason as to why the references should not be added in the article, he keeps assuming and assuming.

Fact is that these references are valid. They are relevant and valid, and they deserve to be in the Minoan article. Whether Akhilleus likes them or not, is another subject. Fact is that these references are valid. --Mimon 21:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for you message as well. I offered verifiable scholarly sources both from the perseus project. Why does Akhilleus delete them? And supporting my point? But i have not added any point, i have not added any comments and none at all, only specified sources that one of them mentions relevant material about the Cretan legal system and is indeed worthy of addition and the other is the definition of the term Minos as provided by Liddell and Scott. What point? I have not added any points, only material as they are straight from the source. --Mimon 21:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Again which point? I have not added any point? Why is Akhilleus correct? Why? --Mimon 21:52, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

help Second Punic War
I have been working on a structure for all the battles of the Second Punic war. My idea is that there are three theaters and three phases.

What's your opinion, is this an acceptable approach? Wandalstouring 06:44, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

 * The problem is that it leaves out all the naval engagements and Syracuse.

I'm trying to get the WikiProject History on track and I need some competent support, so I'm trying to recruit some good editors. Greetings Wandalstouring 14:48, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Take a look

I found an interesting list in the German wiki that is along the lines of what you were working on about the Samnite wars. http/de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kriege_und_Schlachten_in_der_Antike Greetings Wandalstouring (talk) 13:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Renaissance Canada
Another editor has added the " " template to the article Renaissance Canada, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the  template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi Semperf

I was wondering if you would be able to tell me if you yourself made the map of sparta that you posted. I saw it in an article for antigonos doson. I would like to know how such maps are created, as I need maps for articles that I intend to publish.

Proposed deletion of Daniel Stelmacker

The article Daniel Stelmacker has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Does not meet WP:POLITICIAN

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 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 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. Guerillero | My Talk   21:10, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge
--MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

New 10,000 Challenge for Canada
Hi, WikiProject Canada/The 10,000 Challenge is up and running based on The 10,000 Challenge for the UK which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. If you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Canada like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1600 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for Canada but fuelled by a contest such as The North America Destubathon to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. I would like some support from Canadian wikipedians here to get the Challenge off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile! Cheers. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 01:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Voiceless retroflex lateral fricative

The voiceless retroflex lateral fricative is a type of consonantal sound, used in some spoken languages. The 'implicit' IPA letter for this sound, ⟨ꞎ ⟩, is overtly supported by the extIPA.

Some scholars posit a voiceless retroflex lateral approximant distinct from the fricative. The approximant may be represented in the IPA as ⟨ɭ̊ ⟩.

As for RfA, it's an election, and although I agree that it shouldn't be, those among us who think that it is not are being naive. There are many ways we could make it a discussion to determine genuine consensus, but at least as of now it's functionally an election. We require electors to identify (IPs aren't allowed to vote), we encourage candidates to recruit high-profile nominators (campaigning), and we've set an arbitrary "post" whereby we measure whether or not a candidate has won, coincidentally roughly a two-thirds plurality. We even have our own version of an Electoral College, in the form of crat chats for very close elections (within the "discretionary range"), in which we trust the appointed electors to enact what they interpret is the decision of the fractured electorate. And furthermore we have no generally accepted qualifying criteria - every elector invents their own, and then within each election we debate what the issues should be for that election. Sometimes the electorate selects the candidate who will build the most roads, or who will fund public libraries, sometimes the electorate chooses the candidate who won't blow up the stadium, and sometimes we pick the candidate who yells the loudest or looks the nicest on TV. It's incredibly broken, but it seems to be exactly what the community wants. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:35, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
