Orphaned non-free media (File:DannyGreen2013.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:DannyGreen2013.jpg. 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 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:15, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Iowa unincorporated communities categories by county

Hi-I noticed you are creating categories for Iowa unincorporated communities by counties. I am wondering if we need the categories. Iowa does not have that many articles on their unincorporated communities abd Wikipedia is getting too many categories as it is. Many thanks-RFD (talk) 23:41, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Definitions of North / Central / South Jersey

The definitions of what belongs in Category:South Jersey, Category:Central Jersey and Category:North Jersey are so fluid and contentious that these categories should not have been populated without discussion. I live in Northern Bergen County and I just joked with someone that I am convinced that Ridgefield Park is in Central Jersey (and read that article for a taste of the ambiguity). While I could guess that there would be agreement that Cape May County is in South Jersey and Sussex County is in North Jersey, there are no official definitions and there needs to be discussion before any further articles are tagged. Alansohn (talk) 02:15, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

• No problem Dwscomet (talk) 03:52, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
  • I think that the first step is to remove these three categories from articles for New Jersey counties. Once that's done, pick a place to start the discussion -- I suggest reaching out to WP:NJ -- but please read through the articles for South Jersey, Central Jersey and North Jersey and make your best case that there is a clear, unambiguous definition of all three that can be applied in consistent fashion. Without consensus that sharp dividing lines can be drawn, I would suggest that these categories not be used for this purpose. Alansohn (talk) 04:20, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Neko Case categories

Regarding your recent edit: removed Category:American female singers; added Category:American female country singers using HotCat to the Neko Case entry: I think now Neko is on ANTI- Records she is more of a general Category:American female singers (vs. country).

"NBA players from Country X" categories

Hello - I have noticed that you have created many of these. When doing so, please do not add "Country expatriate basketball people in the United States" as a sub-category. The NBA is not purely an American League so that is not a valid parent category. For example, Jonas Valančiūnas is a "National Basketball Association player from Lithuania," but he isn't a "Lithuanian expatriate basketball person in the United States." There are other examples. Also, ABA, NBL and BAA players aren't technically NBA players so please consider this when adding these categories. Thanks. Rikster2 (talk) 14:08, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

It seems to me that you are adding articles to the category from your memory of sports rather than by exhausting the parent category of "People from __". Is this true?Hoops gza (talk) 17:36, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

I exhausted the parent cats Dwscomet (talk) 00:27, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

But there are articles in the parent cats with the disambiguators of sportspeople like "(American football)". Also, you put the wrong parent cats for New Rochelle, I will change those.Hoops gza (talk) 16:08, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

The Dubs

Hello, Dwscomet. You recently added a link to Golden State Warriors from the disambiguation page Dub. There is no indication anywhere on the Warriors article that they are referred to as "The Dubs", but I'll trust that they are. If this is indeed a notable nickname, you may want to add it to the article. Happy editing, Cnilep (talk) 22:50, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

• Hey there! Yeah, I believe it's notable, because local media (1 2) and ESPN (3) are calling them that. I don't know if it's enough, but it seems notable enough for Bay Area and Sports media to use "Dubs" to refer to the Golden State Warriors. Have a nice day!

Hello. I'm guessing you weren't aware of the instructions at Category:People by county in England, that say "People from areas affected by boundary changes are categorised by the county at the time they were alive". Tyne and Wear is one of several counties brought into being in 1974: some of the many people you've included in Category:Footballers from Tyne and Wear died decades before that date, others lived only a few years in that county's existence, and lived most of their lives in a former county. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 23:05, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Vanessa Huppenkothen}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Rankersbo (talk) 11:15, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on User:Dwscomet/My userbox creations/McD2, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

It doesn't need to have a map but if you did include one, the PNW is usually considered to consist of Idaho, Oregon and Washington (U.S.) and some folks also include BC (Canada).

To elaborate further: This page got nominated for deletion a few days ago by another user because it had been perceived as being inflammatory and outside the bounds of WP:UBCR. I rewrote the userbox to try and make it compliant with this policy, and proposed to not delete it if you were to weigh in saying you were fine with the change. However, it seems you hadn't been notified, so I figured that needed to be done. Anyway, if you've got a piece to say, we'd appreciate your input. silvia (User:BlankpopsiclesilviaASHs4) (inquire within) 07:42, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Welsh people of Trinidad and Tobago descent

A tag has been placed on Category:Welsh people of Trinidad and Tobago descent indicating that it is currently empty, and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion. If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. ✗plicit 12:16, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.

You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .

Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
