[edit] Links in section headings on talk pages

Re this edit you made to {{Db-notice}}. WP:MOS says nothing about links in section titles on talk pages, only in articles. Having the link in the section heading for that template is very useful so I am going to revert your edit. – ukexpat (talk) 18:31, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, well, you may be technically correct, but the justification given for the recommendation against links in section headings is that they may cause accessibility problems for people who use screen readers. I can't imagine any reason that these accessibility problems would be limited to articles and not talk pages. The link to the article is in the template text itself, so why is it important to have it in the section title too? —Bkell (talk) 02:50, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] For your review

From your MfD posts, for your review, here, here, here, here. -- Suntag ☼ 05:42, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Live Search New.png

Hello.
I've updated what can ostensibly be called a reduced-resolution image. After some hesitation, I decided to replace the __non-free reduce__ tag with the __non-free reduced__ tag. While there's another cosmetic mistake I overlooked, I decided that I could live with it.

The directly previous version of the image has a much smaller height, but it sacrifices some of the page elements. If this one is better, it could be used instead of the current one.

I do think that versions previous to and including 3. october 2008, 11:37 (EET) should be deleted, though.

Please reply at my talk, if you care to, as I don't follow other editors' talk pages. I'd appreciate your input.

Looks good to me. Thanks. —Bkell (talk) 12:18, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lisco, Nebraska

Do you remember a problem some time back with the community of Lisco in western Garden County, which the Census called Cisco? Andrewa has found a document that resolves the question entirely. Nyttend (talk) 13:10, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Excellent. I'm glad that's resolved. I suspected it was an error. —Bkell (talk) 13:51, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sinatra

Why delete? Pepso2 (talk) 14:34, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2008 May 14#Image:Fsinatra1.jpg and Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G4. —Bkell (talk) 14:38, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User page and images

Please see Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Jacksterlinghowlett. My curiosity got the better of me and I followed the links on the user page. Unfortunately, it took me to a MySpace memorial page, so I decided to WP:IAR and delete the user page and images. Not quite sure if that was the right thing to do, so will ask at WP:AN. Just wanted to let you know as well. The paintings were abstract impressionist stuff, as you said, no encyclopedic use, so they would probably have gone anyway. Carcharoth (talk) 22:51, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Update: I took some advice and decided not to go to WP:AN. I did do a summary here. If you want to blank the recent IfD discussions, please do. There was also an IfD discussion over a year ago. I'd suggest keeping the MfD discussion there, as most of the deletion summaries point there. I'm not going to do anything more though, unless someone else raises the matter again. Carcharoth (talk) 23:30, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Integral expression"

I'm not ready to opine on whether that article should be deleted. But what I can say about "what is integral" about polynomials is that they form a Euclidean ring. That's not so mysterious. Michael Hardy (talk) 05:20, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, a good point. That is true. —Bkell (talk) 07:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Gulf.png

Thank you for uploading Image:Gulf.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 22:52, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

I heartily agree. —Bkell (talk) 15:18, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Delete request

Hey, I've got a question and hope you can help. I need to delete the 2nd revision of [1] because it's a copyvio (bad printscreen on my part). Is this possible? CecilPL (talk) 18:54, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

Looks like it's already been done. —Bkell (talk) 00:39, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Image source problem with Image:Dan whitesf.jpg

I forgot where the image came from but I am pretty sure it was public domain. Maybe a smaller size image can replace it but pictures are hard to find since the guy is dead.--Cs california (talk) 07:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

I understand that pictures are difficult to find. But by Wikipedia policies we must give the source of all the images we use, so that the copyright status can be verified. For example, I am skeptical of your claim that Image:Dan whitesf.jpg is in the public domain, because I don't see any evidence to support this claim. Providing a source for the image would go a long way toward establishing a justification for your public domain claim. If we cannot get a source for the image, unfortunately it will have to be deleted, because Wikipedia can't just take your word that it's in the public domain; such a claim needs to be verifiable by others. —Bkell (talk) 13:16, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About my STAAU page

Why did you delete it? it was a perfectly good page. Im telling you. Me AND my page are gonna get known just as well as any other page. I looked at the page that said: Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things you or your friends created one day. Well maybe if youd give it a chance more people would know about it, then it should be on Wikipedia. PLZ respond FAST.

--Tiger808 (talk) 15:45, 18 November 2008 (UTC)Tiger808

Okay, well, if your organization does become widely known as you say, so that it meets the Wikipedia notability guidelines, and garners significant coverage in reliable third-party sources such as major newspapers, magazines, or published books, so that the information about your organization is verifiable, then certainly it is appropriate to have a Wikipedia article about your organization. However, until that time, STAAU does not appear to meet the guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia. I am not doubting your claim that STAAU will become widely known someday, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, and we cannot have articles which are based on speculation. Let me know if you need help or have any questions. —Bkell (talk) 15:49, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

PLZ!! I mean, until that day, nobody is REALLY gonna look at it. And how can it get famouse unless someone sees it, or hears about it? Its not really gonna affect Wikipedia, you, me, or anyone. Its just something i really want to start. And if someone looks at it, cool for me! But if they dont, fine with me. Its not gonna do ANY harm! PLZ! (and if you STILL say no, thgen TELL ME, BEFORE you delete it.) --Tiger808 (talk) 16:03, 18 November 2008 (UTC) Tiger808

Wikipedia is not meant to be a way to become well-known—Wikipedia is a collection of information about topics that are already well-known. Wikipedia is not a blog or webspace provider. If you are looking for an online page about your organization, you should try MySpace or another free Web hosting service.

I personally will not speedily delete the STAAU article again, but if I run across the article again I will list it for deletion. This will allow you a place to publicly voice your opinions. However, I stand by my belief that STAAU, at this point in time, simply does not meet the criteria for a Wikipedia article. Once again, I will refer you to the appropriate Wikipedia policies and guidelines:

• Verifiability
• Notability
• What Wikipedia is not
• Wikipedia is not for things made up one day

Again, please let me know if I can help you or if you have any questions. —Bkell (talk) 16:14, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Stevanna jackson

Nothing has been concluded by the articles of inclusion, I deleted it myself last night ... yes it was nominated for deletion, but I deleted it so I can do it correctly at a later time. I dont want to be rude but; is this wikipedia or wackypedia? I know you have edited 100 zillion articles, but you are not infallible, as you too are only Human ... its a little sad to see how a lot of editors/admins are a little wickedly wacky ... too caught up in wikiworld ... Well then I declare a wikiwar ... Notability is there and it is verifiable and so are the rest of the guidelines of the Stevanna Jackson wikipage. So please stop deleting it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fantasia 15 (talk • contribs) 09:40, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jagat Seth

Thanks for reminding about citation. I shall try to put in some references. ManasShaikh (talk) 16:10, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I put in some references. Those are Indian government sites, so quite reliable. Please remove the unsourced tag if you think it appropriate. ManasShaikh (talk) 16:17, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Some seven articles link to Jagat Seth. Is that enough to un-orphan it? I think all heads counted, it should go up to about 15. Not much more than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManasShaikh (talk • contribs) 04:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your work. —Bkell (talk) 05:01, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Replaceable fair use Image:Continuous Casting Machine.png

Bugger!

Bkell, I fully understand your reasons for removing this image. Unfortunately, free, good and explanatory images of these machines (and nearly anything else to do with steelmaking) are nearly impossible to find without a Wikipedian creating it from scratch and releasing it, and there's a lot of hassle where that's involved.

I can do good technical drawings, they just take time that I don't have at the moment. I dunno, would you be able to ask around your fellow students to see if anybody knows what a CCM (and an EAF) look like, and be able to do a decent drawing of one? Thanks, Sentinel75 (talk) 10:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I am a math student, and unfortunately I don't know many students who would be familiar with continuous casting machines or electric arc furnaces. You might want to take a look at Template:Reqdiagram, which is used to request a diagram for a Wikipedia article. —Bkell (talk) 11:43, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge independent set and independent set problem?

You opposed a merger from Independent set to Independent set problem. I agree. Now I want to merge the two pages in the other direction. Please comment at Talk:Independent set#Merger proposal. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 20:56, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] About Hades Deletion

Your message: "I don't understand what this article is talking about. It seems to be something written in an in-universe style, but there doesn't seem to be any context. —Bkell (talk) 18:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC)"

---

My point: This article is detailing the character of Hades Alone and simplifiying the Saint Seiya Lost Canvas character section. I added a Trivia part which you are intending to delete as well.

I did the same a bit ago with Pegasus Tenma's Section and nobody complained.

Sorondil (talk) 18:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Please give your explanations at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hades Alone rather than on my personal talk page. They will be much more visible to other editors there. —Bkell (talk) 18:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

See also Wikipedia:Trivia sections. Trivia sections are discouraged in Wikipedia articles. —Bkell (talk) 18:37, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I've left a dispute to the non-free violation claim here.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:24, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
