Fair use rationale for File:Simearth-box.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Simearth-box.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nan oha A's Yu ri    Talk, My master 00:04, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Dkong title.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Dkong title.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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.

Request for Participation in Wikipedia Research
larsinio,

Your Request for Adminship (RfA) process was reviewed and studied by our research team at Carnegie Mellon University early in our project to gain insights into the process. We reviewed what voters discussed about your case, and what qualifications you brought to the table as a candidate. In total 50 cases were personally read and reviewed, and we based our further research questions in part on your case.

In continuing our research, I would like to personally invite you to participate in a survey we are conducting to get perspective from people who have participate in the RfA process. The survey will only take a few minutes of your time, and will aid furthering our understanding of online communities, and may assist in the development of tools to assist voters in making RfA evaluations. We are NOT attempting to spam anyone with this survey and are doing our best to be considerate and not instrusive in the Wikipedia community. The results of this survey are for academic research and are not used for any profit nor sold to any companies. We will also post our results back to the Wikipedia community.

This survey is part of an ongoing research project by students and faculty at the Carnegie Mellon University School of Computer Science and headed by Professor Robert Kraut.

Take the survey

Thank you!

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free comment on my talk page.

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.

Are not the fonts used in samplers bitmap fonts?

Perhaps the women who made these samplers are the designers of the world's first bitmap fonts?

Gloomy verses
I would like some history on the inclusion of gloomy verses on samplers. Was it a case of oppressive teachers crushing childhood optimism, or was it a long-running joke that both the children and their instructors were in on?Cheesusfreak (talk) 10:18, 20 August 2019 (UTC) Early-1850's life expectancy in UK was short, as low as 25 years for some occupations, average for a man 40 years. Families were large and losses high. Childbirth and early childhood was the most dangerous time. Basic hygiene was not understood. Doctors did not know that diseases could be water-borne, so sanitation was not a priority. Teachers would therefore do their best to prepare children in the best way they knew, the Victorian way, for an early departure. The Victorian way was seemingly blind to the efficacy of praise, encouragement and positivity. Davidmadelena (talk) 10:56, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sally's Apizza

 This page is an archive of the proposed deletion of the article below. Further comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was No consensus (5 keep, 4 delete, 2 merge), so keep. --Allen3 talk 12:05, July 23, 2005 (UTC)

Sally's Apizza
Advertising-- BMIComp (talk) 16:24, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep Please see my notes about Votes for deletion/Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana.  The same arguments apply here: the article is similar to many other restaurant articles in Wikipedia, it's about an important part of local culture, and the establishment is historically significant.  Dr.frog 16:34, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep First, I want to point out that this VfD is broken. As of when I went to edit this, the VfD edit link was broken. That said, this is exactly the kind of article that I think strains the analogy of Wikipedia to a dead-tree encyclopedia. There's no particularly good reason to list every pizza store, but older restaurants that are significant in their communities are a part of the local culture, and I hope that over time Wikipedia becomes a place where culture is recorded, not just in the sweeping terms of traditional encyclopedias, but also at a regional level where information is all too often lost. -Harmil 17:08, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence or claim of notablility (unlike Frank Pepe which at least claims the notability of being the first Pizza restaurant in the US, even if it doesn't offer evidence). RJFJR 17:51, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * If you read the newspaper article cited as a reference on the page, you'll get a flavor of how famous Sally's is. It's a major tourist attraction in New Haven, was featured in a Doonesbury cartoon, etc.  Dr.frog 18:04, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Actually, I live in New Haven county and when I asked a group of people for good places for pizza, Sally's and Pepe's were the recommended places (unfortunately, I prefer thick crusts so I'm not into New Haven style pizza). The part about Doonesbury was added after I made the vote.  While it is national recognition I'm not sure one strip in the series is enough to make it notable.  I'm just not convinced it has more than local significance. RJFJR 18:20, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * I did some more research and found that there have been continuing references to Sally's in the Doonesbury comic strip, not just the one they have displayed on the wall in the restaurant. (I'm not a Doonesbury fan so I didn't know this off the top of my head).  I just tweaked the text of the article to reflect that it has been mentioned more than once.  Dr.frog 22:59, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't think one could possibly hope to be able to distinguish, from thousands of miles away over the Internet, "older restaurants that are significant in their communities" from other sorts of restaurants. Local businesses that have no larger claim to fame are, well, just that.  Doonesbury cite and claim to "tourist attraction" status are far more to the point, but insufficient at this point.  More cites along these lines could convince me; for now, Delete.  Dcarrano 18:41, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
 * It seems to me to be rather arrogant to advocate deleting an article just because you don't have the knowledge to distinguish whether its subject is significant or interesting to others. E.g. I'm both clueless about and uninterested in molecular biology, but you don't see me suggesting that we delete all those articles from Wikipedia.   Dr.frog 20:17, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That's obviously a ludicrous strawman argument, so I won't feel bad about letting off a little steam on you now. Restaurant review cites don't help... I'm aware it's a restaurant!  It's easy to find information about "tourist attractions" on the web, isn't it?  New Haven is a pretty big city, no?  With a lot of educated, computer-savvy people, a lot of stuff on the Internet about it, right?  Seems like if something was one of New Haven's leading tourist attractions, one would be able to prove that, no?  Gimme THAT... and given that you're right about the city being associated with pizza, it's very possible you can... but... prove it.  Dcarrano 00:00, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Expecting everyone who contributes an article to Wikipedia to justify its universal relevance and usefulness is a great way to discourage people from contributing, you know. :-P  In any case, here is a link I found randomly on the Yale University admissions site, bragging about the attractions of the city:    Quote:  "[Wooster Square] is best known for its two world-famous pizzerias: Sally's (est. 1938) and Pepe's (est. 1925). These pizzerias, which are widely considered to be the nation's best, attract pizza lovers from all over the world."  BTW, the guy who wrote the fan pages on the pizzatherapy.com is from *Hawaii*.  Dr.frog 00:45, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I have added some additional references to the article now. Dr.frog 22:59, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

 * I live in Texas and have never been to Connecticut in my life. I have heard of both Pepe's and Sally's. As far as I'm concerned, that makes both of them notable enough to keep. Microtonal 22:11, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to New Haven. Most cities have a pizza place or two that have local fame. CDC   (talk)  23:10, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Ah, but Sally's has very much more than just "local" fame! It is an extremely well-known restaurant, not just a local hangout. Dr.frog 23:37, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
 * That's the claim, but I'm not convinced - hence my vote. CDC   (talk)  01:45, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The original reason why the page was proposed for deletion was "advertising", and per the policy in WP:NOT, this means that either the article is biased or that the business in question is so small that the topic is not third-party verifiable. I haven't seen anybody complaining about the former, and the latter can be addressed if you care to do a Google search.  Or just read the newspaper article linked to in the references section.  If you have some other reason for wanting the article to be deleted, can you cite the appropriate section of WP policy?   Dr.frog 02:09, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep as per Harmil. This is what Wikipedia is about. royblumy 00:25 13 July, 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Apizza and redirect there. This and Pepe's are the best-known exponents of the little-known Apizza phenomenon. --Angr/undefined 07:16, 13 July 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as above, or send to Wikitravel. Radiant_ >|< 09:46, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * strong keep. This is a very famous part of New Haven culture. This is not advertising, and it is notable, so why would we want to get rid of this? Brighterorange 16:37, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
 * The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in an undeletion request). No further edits should be made to this page.

Fair use rationale for Image:Birth of the Cool.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Birth of the Cool.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 13:43, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Vento. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Vento~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 03:31, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Why is the war of Mehmed and Skanderbeg not worthwhile, although the wars of the absurd pashas are worth adding to Wikipedia? Then why don't you delete the little wars against the pashas that are worthless? Keremmaarda (talk) 19:38, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Keeping or deleting a Wikipedia article is not a question of "worth". Most participants at Articles for deletion/Battle of Burshek did not believe there was enough coverage of the battle in reliable sources to show that it is notable enough for an article. An event can be meaningful or even important to some people without attracting enough public discussion in the historical record to meet our notability criteria.

Articles for deletion/Black Canary (Dinah Laurel Lance)
Hello, Richard,

I had an edit conflict when I was trying to close this discussion. But then I refreshed the screen and I saw you had closed this AFD with almost the same comment I had written out! Sometimes it's good to see that another discussion closer has come to the same opinion that you have. I mean, the all "Deletes" and all "Keeps" discussions are simple compared to ones like this where there are a variety of different outcomes favored.

And even though I hadn't received any complaints on my User talk page, I was getting the message that I'm too quick to relist mixed discussions like this one so I'm closing more AFDs with a "No consensus" closure than I did several months ago. I always thought that no participant is satisfied with a No consensus closure but often that's an accurate reflection of the conversation that has been going on for the past week(s).

I hope you had a restful summer if you live in the Northern Hemisphere! Liz Read! Talk! 17:23, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Great minds think alike, of course. With the divided positions and no new commentary after the second relist, it was hard to do anything else. A third relist is typically just delaying the inevitable. It used to be that even a second relist was unusual, but over time it seems like participation in AfD has dropped, so one or two relists to drum up enough participation is more common now. --RL0919 (talk) 22:07, 23 August 2023 (UTC)

As part of the final decision, editors participating in XfD have been reminded to be careful about forming local consensus which may or may not reflect the broader community consensus. Regular closers of XfD forums were also encouraged to note when broader community discussion, or changes to policies and guidelines, would be helpful.

Chanel Ayan
Hi RL0919. Would you mind taking a look at Chanel Ayan? You deleted it back in January 2020 per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chanel Ayan, but it was recreated a few days ago. If the recreation is essentially no different than the version you deleted, then it probably would qualify for WP:G4. If it's significantly different, then the Old Afd multi template on the article's talk page might need updating to reflect that the recreation is not the same as what was deleted. FWIW, there's nothing in the latest version's page history to indicate that this was refunded via a WP:DRV discussion, and it appears to just be a new recreation using the same name. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

 * The new version does have different text, and more important, a number of new source citations with at least some that appear to be better quality sources than what was in the deleted version. So it looks like a legitimate new creation that should not be subject to WP:G4 deletion. But it was a good call to have it checked. --RL0919 (talk) 04:24, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking a look. I only stumbled upon the article because of the infobox image and then noticed the "Afd multi" template on the talk page. Not sure what to do about that template since it technically no longer seems applicable. Is a history merge usually done in the case of recreations such as this? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:31, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The new article doesn’t seem to be based on the old, so restoring the old history wouldn’t be appropriate. In this kind of case, the old AFD record just stays there to document what happened to the old version. It doesn’t require that anything particular should be done to the new article. The only reason to remove it would be if this was a different subject with the same name, but this is the same subject just with a better article. --RL0919 (talk) 05:35, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Article for Deletion
Respected Sir, My two articles, one on Rajeshree Singhania and other on Rabinarayan Acharaya was deleted. It is requested to move back the article to draft space. I am a new to Wikipedia editing and I moved the article the article to main space as I felt that I am permitted to do it after 90 days. Sir, I have put efforts for both article. I request you kind consideration to move back the article to draft space so that I can do more efforts to improve the articles in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines. Neelesh Pandiyath (talk) 16:54, 4 October 2023 (UTC)

 * I can restore the draft about Rajeshree Singhania for you, as long as you understand that it should be improved with reliable sources that provide information about her, not just things that she has written herself or mentions of her name, and this should be done before moving the draft back to a regular article. The best thing is to submit the draft for review and let the reviewer move it if they believe it has enough sourcing. When you say "Rabinarayan Acharaya", I assume you probably mean Rabinarayan Acharya? I can't find a deleted article called "Rabinarayan Acharaya", but a typo for the common name/title 'Acharya' seems likely. Assuming I'm right and you want me to restore Rabinarayan Acharya as a draft, then the same advice applies about when/how to move it back to an article. In both cases, if you move the same text back to an article without significant improvements, they are subject to speedy deletion for "Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion" (see WP:G4).
 * If you could please reply to confirm that you understand (and whether I am right about the typo), I will then restore both pages as drafts. (FYI to User:Extraordinary Writ, who is the admin who deleted Rabinarayan Acharya. I assume you won't mind if I restore and draftify in this situation.) RL0919 (talk) 17:22, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's fine. I'd just add, Neelesh Pandiyath, that both articles were deleted because editors felt these people weren't notable (i.e. that they just weren't eligible for a Wikipedia article right now), and that's not generally a problem that can be fixed by improving the draft. Unless there are good sources that the editors in the deletion discussion weren't aware of, it may just be too soon for these people to have a Wikipedia article right now. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:46, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Respected Sir, I understood. I made mistake by directly moving to main space. I apologise for the same. Neelesh Pandiyath (talk) 11:17, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Respected Sir, I understood your esteemed directions and will comply to your directions. Kindly give chance to improve the article. Further I will not move article to main space directly Neelesh Pandiyath (talk) 11:10, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I have restored and draftified the articles for you, since both deleting administrators have agreed on that, in case doing so may save you some waiting time. JBW (talk) 15:30, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --RL0919 (talk) 16:13, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Marvel character sources
Thank you for finding sources for Chameleon. Do you see anything for Boomerang (character) or Ox (comics)? Abner Jenkins and possibly several others might be salvageable at DRV if you can find something for him as well. BOZ (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, Boomerang appears in the same three books I first mentioned in the Chameleon AfD. Abner Jenkins/Beetle appears in two of them. The Ox only appears in one (500 Comicbook Villains), so if those books are any indication then he is the most obscure of the lot. --RL0919 (talk) 22:18, 28 October 2023 (UTC)

Gary Wales Actor
Hey, RL0919

I hope your well, this is Gary Wales, i believe the page that was created for me was removed by yourself, is there any way to get that restored or moved to Draft to improve - Gary Wales (actor) Articles for deletion/Gary Wales (actor) (2nd nomination)

Thank you for your time Gary — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garywalesactor (talk • contribs) 03:03, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

 * I don't see anything problematic in the deleted content, so I am happy to restore it as a draft. That said, if you are the subject of the proposed article, I strongly encourage you to review the advice at Autobiography and Conflict of interest before doing any editing on it. I will leave a standardized welcome message on your user talk page with similar advice and more links. The draft will be at Draft:Gary Wales (actor) and should be restored within a few minutes of this reply. --RL0919 (talk) 19:00, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you so much for that, Im Daniel Hicks, Gary's Assistant as Gary couldn't access his account due to it being so close. I have made a few edits, i've added his awards, i did try to add more references but it wasn't letting me. Any advice you could give me that would be great, again thank you for brining back the article as a draft. We hope it will be published at some stage. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielHicksAss (talk • contribs) 02:05, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

 * It looks like you were able to make additions after you posted your message here, so I'm going to assume all is well unless you let me know otherwise. Please note that as the subject's assistant, the Conflict of interest rules still apply to your edits, so I encourage you to review the guideline if you have not already. Happy editing. --RL0919 (talk) 19:07, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @RL0919yes I did manage to that. Thank you, I have stated on the page in the talk section and also on my own page the affiliation. Could you check and make sure I did it right?
 * thank you again DanielHicksAss (talk) 19:40, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

 * The template on the Draft talk page looks right. For your own user page, that template doesn't work – it is made for Talk spaces, not User spaces. You can use the User COI template instead. --RL0919 (talk) 19:47, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @RL0919 Hello Richard, I hope your well. I have updated the Article as much as i can. Let me know what you think? Do you think its ready for publication, or do you think it will require more? Draft:Gary Wales (actor) DanielHicksAss (talk) 14:20, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @RL0919Hello, I hope your well, Happy New Year to you. I have now submitted the article. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated DanielHicksAss (talk) 01:40, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

Precious anniversary
Congratulations to the successful saving efforts! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:53, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Hayden Moss
How is the outcome of the AFD re-nomination on this article different from that of an AFD nomination on another article? Both don't have input from others, yet the outcome is different. George Ho (talk) 17:56, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

 * The obvious answer is that two different people closed the discussions, and human judgment can vary. As far as I can see, I would have closed the other discussion the same way I closed this one.

 * That said, I would also suggest that opening discussions for these situations may be counterproductive to begin with. The previous AfDs were a decade or more in the past, and much closer to when the subjects appeared on TV. The article creators are blocked for socking. Considering that no one bothered to comment on the AfDs, I strongly suspect that if you had just redirected the articles without opening a discussion about it, probably no one would have objected. Less work for you; no work for AfD participants and closers. --RL0919 (talk) 18:41, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Isn't redirecting a previously-nominated article kinda risky, especially right now? Furthermore, as I feared, any Survivor-fanatic editor would undo the redirecting and then restore the article back to as-is without further ado. I don't wanna take the closed AFD discussion to review yet, but I figured you'll stand by your decision, right? George Ho (talk) 19:12, 25 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Almost forgot: AFD results... and even DRV ones are easier to enforce and more enforceable IMO than WP:IMPLICITCONSENSUS. George Ho (talk) 19:21, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Your comments make me more comfortable with the choice to close as no consensus, not less. If you are so sure that someone would object to a redirect by you, then putting an admin stamp on a redirect based on a zero-input AfD would be placing a mantle of "enforceability" on a change that doesn't deserve it. --RL0919 (talk) 22:37, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

Ioannis Frangoudis

Ioannis Frangoudis (Ιωάννης Φραγκούδης; 1863 – 19 October 1916) was a Greek soldier, athlete and Hellenic Army officer who reached the rank of Colonel. He also competed in the 1896 Summer Olympics in Athens as a shooter. Frangoudis is the only Greek athlete who has won a gold, a silver and a bronze medal in a single Olympic.

Biography
Frangoudis hailed from Limassol, Cyprus, which was under the Ottoman Empire at the time (it would transfer to British control when he was about 14), but was born in Zakynthos, where his father worked as a consul. He graduated from the Hellenic Military Academy in 1885, and worked his way up the ranks of the Greek army, being a captain at the time of the 1896 Olympics. After the Greco-Turkish war of 1897, he had become a colonel, and a friend of King George I of Greece. Frangoudis is also known for having been present at the assassination of the King, and for having taken his assassin, Alexandros Schinas, into custody.

Frangoudis died by an electrocution accident in 19 October 1916, while visiting New York City for an ammo supply mission of the Greek army.

Olympics Career
Frangoudis competed in four of the five shooting events as well as serving as secretary of the Sub-Committee for Shooting.

He began his sole rifle event, the free rifle, with a lead in the competition after the first string of 10 shots. However, his shooting was inconsistent and his second and fourth strings were far below the scores of his first and third strings. Frangoudis finished second behind Georgios Orfanidis, with 1,312 points to his countryman's 1,583. Viggo Jensen in third place was only 7 points behind Frangoudis.

In the rapid fire pistol, Frangoudis was the victor, defeating Orfanidis, along with two other competitors, 344-249. He added another top three finish in the free pistol, behind Sumner Paine (silver medallist in the military pistol) and Holger Nielsen (bronze medallist in the rapid fire pistol). Frangoudis also competed in the military pistol, finishing fourth.
