== Nomination of [[Uber (company)]] for deletion ==

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|42px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[Uber (company)]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Uber (company) ]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

[[History of the Czech Republic]] makes no sense at all, if you start in year 600. History of Czechia is not perfect, but better. History of Bohemia, limits scope to 1 province of Czech Republic. [[User:Cautious|Cautious]] 23:52, 31 May 2004 (UTC)

:Next try: [[History of Czechs]] [[History of Czech nation]] [[History of Bohemia and Moravia]] [[History of Saint Wencelaos country]]?? [[User:Cautious|Cautious]] 00:22, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. -- [[User:Alan Liefting|Alan Liefting]] ([[User_talk:Alan_Liefting|talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Alan_Liefting|contribs]]) 23:59, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

==Notice of change==

Hi,

Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [[Wikipedia_talk:Administrators#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29|recent change]] to the [[WP:ADMIN|administrator policy]] that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that you will not longer be able to request restoration of the tools because of your prior inactivity. You have until December 30, 2012 to request restoration or else the policy will prevent you from doing so in the future; you would need to seek a new [[WP:RFA]]. Until December 30, you can file a request at [[WP:BN]] for review by the crats. Thank you.

You're a experienced user and you post frequently on the [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]] page, so I have a question for you. Most of the text from the [[Joe Biden]] article is taken from [http://www.dsc.edu/advancement/pr/2003/07may03.htm here], which is in turn copied from [http://biden.senate.gov/bio.html here]. Does this constitute a copyright violation, and if so what is the best way to deal with it?

== Cleaned to place up a bit ==

Sincerely,

I have cleaned the place up a bit to make it look more presentable and to get rid of stuff which is no longer a concern any more but you can all ways change it back if you want. <span style="font-family:'Impact',monospace"><span style="display:none">User:</span>[[User:H.Brian Griffin|H.Brian Griffin]]</span>^{[[User talk:H.Brian Griffin|talk]]} 16:50, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

I also have a copyright question. It is related to images. You seem to know a bit about them so, I want to know if I can consider the following my intellectual propery: I got an image from Microsoft Encarta Atlas, copied it and pasted into Paint to edit it. I changed most if not all the rivers that appeared and also added a lot of urban areas (colour) which show a more accurate map. I also changed the colour of the roads, but kept the same colour scheme as Microsoft encarta. I did change the topography lines to some extent. etc... So can I upload this into Wikipedia? I assume it is more than ok, based on UK definition, which I was only told about, which is supposed to say that if I change 1 street in a city map (ie delete it), that is allready yours. I couldn't find the copyright for Encarta atlas in Microsoft.com so I wonder if you would know. I grately appreciate your help. Yours, [[User:Kurogawa|Kurogawa]] 21:47, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)

From what I've seen, you are very active at keeping WP free from garbage, and no one questions your actions. According to the posted guidelines, I don't think [[Orlando Web Design]] is a speedy delete candidate. However, I believe many admins would kill such a blatant advert anyway. So, my question is, in your opinion, can it go buh-bye speedy, or do I need to list it on VfD? [[User:Niteowlneils|Niteowlneils]] 17:37, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

<!-- Message sent by User:Mdann52@enwiki using the list at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Mdann52/list&oldid=691963760 -->

:Thanks for your comments. For some time I had been leaning towards deleting obvious nonsense myself, and just tagging borderline cases, so, between those two things I tagged it speedy and added "blatant advert for non-notable company hogging overly broad title", and it did go away. I can understand arguments to not add just "blatant advert" to the speedy candidate list (I've converted at least one company that was put on VfD as an advert into a viable stub), but is seems like articles with a combination like that had should be candidates, as there's nothing that can be done for them to survive VfD, so why drag it out an extra 5 days.

I have recently been trying to add an article called Synthesis (newspaper). Now I have encountered some problems I would like to discuss and work out.

The newspaper Synthesis is a valid newspaper and an actual organization. The article on Synthesis from what I see really doesn't conflict with any of Wikipedia's posting guidelines. All of the questionable material that has put it onto VFD has been taken out and I believe the VFD no longer applies. I guess please comment back and tell me what exactly is wrong with the article because I feel that the article is valid and informative.

- A7Zulu

P.S. There are a lot of people that read the newspaper and would find it beneficial to know something about the beginnings of the newspaper through an online free encyclopedia.

==RFA cleanup mess==

Wow, there's been a lot of ugly stuff going on on that page. I didn't realize it entirely... I kept trying to save my edit and it kept saying there was a conflict and then it was all garbled and so I reloaded it and tried to save it again and it wasn't until I had already clicked Save that I noticed the message about it being locked... so I wanted to apologize for just adding a vote while you were trying to clean things up. Erk--hmmm, now I see that your page is also locked except to sys admins. Guess there's an advantage to that... Is everything locked? (Rhetorical question.) Guess I'll go look...

== Deleted redirects ==

Geez, man, thanks a bunch for deleting all those districts redirects I spent several hours creating! I, of course, realize, that a broken redirect should be fixed, and this is exactly the reason I stopped creating more of them when I realized that I can't keep up with creating the content which they are supposed to redirect to. Still, I've been working on the ones you deleted (slowly, yes, but I ''was'' working on them), and now I have to create them a-new! That really really sucks, especially considering that they were listed [[User:Topbanana/Reports/This_is_a_broken_redirect_page|here]] as the ones that will be taken care of eventually.

Hi,

being a chemistry-interested type, have you ever come across the term [[Chemics]] before? I have never heard of it, and I can't find anything related on google. I suspect that this is a figment of somebody's imagination, or some buzzword used in one lab in the world or something. I've not had to deal with this kind of issue before, but I've tagged it as disputed accuracy, and now prostrate myself before the wise gods of the wiki who will know how to handle it :-)
