Thanks for your voting!
editHi, thanks for your voting on my RFA. It has finished with the result 88/14/9, and I am promoted. I am really overwhelmed with the amount of support I have got. With some of you we have edited many articles as a team, with some I had bitter arguments in the past, some of you I consider to be living legends of Wikipedia and some nicks I in my ignorance never heard before. I love you all and I am really grateful to you.
If you feel I can help you or Wikipedia as a human, as an editor or with my newly acquired cleaning tools, then just ask and I will be happy to assist. If you will feel that I do not live up to your expectation and renegade on my promises, please contact me. Maybe it was not a malice but just ignorance or a short temper. Thank you very much, once more! abakharev 07:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

CALUMO
editI did what you said and created an article on CALUMO and then reinstated the link which you (I think) had removed. All hunky dory. But within ONE minute (I kid you not) there was a speedy delete tag on the article and now it has gone. I assure you the product is real and live and is, essentially (although perhaps SPF wouldn't want to see it phrased quite like this), SPFplus re-worked and ported to a MS platform, albeit with enhancements along the way. And that product has 200 sales and 9500 users under its belt so it does exist. CALUMO is live at roughly half a dozen sites now. But I am not employed by (or otherwise involved with) the company and so cannot vouch for the exact number. How do I go forward from here? Paul Beardsell 04:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:WindowsLiveSearch.png)
editThanks for uploading Image:WindowsLiveSearch.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Fair use rationale for Image:Adcenter promo.gif
editThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Adcenter promo.gif. 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 read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

Annenschule WPSchools assessment
editRegarding your reassessment of Annenschule: the school is probably High-importance for the schools project, but articles rated High are typically mentioned at the assessment summaries section. Part of the reason it was rated Mid/C-class according to our criteria is because a B-class article should have in-line citations/footnotes per Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria and this one only has external links as references. See Category:GA-Class school articles and Category:FA-Class school articles for examples of relatively well-sourced school articles. Thanks, --Jh12 (talk) 07:03, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Volodarsky Bridge.jpg
editThanks for uploading Image:Volodarsky Bridge.jpg. I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia: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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kjetil r (talk) 16:22, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Logo torino 2006.gif
editThanks for uploading Image:Logo torino 2006.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image.

If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.
For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:47, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

editAnnenschule re-assessment
editI changed the assessment on the article Annenschule to Start-class as part of a review of all B-class articles at Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools, I note you changed it to C-class. I have reverted this change. The article has no in-line citations, and only three references at the bottom of the article, which is good given the time period of the school, but is usually barely enough to get past WP:N. In addition, it is a little short still and only has two sections plus a lead (could it be split up into more per WP:WPSCH/AG?). It is close to C-class, but not quite there I think. According to WP:ASSESS this is what a Start article looks like, which bars a lot of reasonable to the article in question. If you disagree with the assessment I would suggest going to WP:WPSCH/A and asking for a re-assessment, or I could get someone to re-assess the article myself. I also take note that you created the article, thank you for your contributions, but please be careful when assessing articles you have created or heavily involved in, as it considered to have a potential conflict of interest.

- Using server-side ADOMD.NET inside stored procedures. Wikiolap (talk) 06:24, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
--Alvarez 08:47, 14 October 2009 (UTC) : I'm not sure I understood, can you point me to an article for this ? What I wanted to say with Custom MDX functions: lets imagine a new MDX function returning the weighted average -> WAvg( {Set}, Value, Weight ). How can you define this new function in SSAS and use it in all you new MDX functions. What about performance ? -> it's the advantage of open source where you can inject your own functions directly into the server using the same language (Java/C++). I'm newby to wikipedia, sorry for the little mess
- Yes you can create new MDX functions, like weigthed average which accepts set, value expression and weight expression and return number. Or it can return any MDX data type, like set or tuple. Unlike open source model you describe - this is portable, because these custom MDX functions are inside .NET assembly and can be brought from server to server.

Allow me to explain my edit to Template:Browser marketshare. I noticed that the median values of the chart in the article Usage share of web browsers varied widely compared to their mean values, therefore the "Other" entry's percentage is currently derived from the median values of the named browsers. Since they vary so much compared to their mean values the "Other" entry would be rendered meaningless if the medians added up to more than 100% (which they don't at present but they could). The mean values on the other hand produce an "Other" entry value that is the mean of the percentage of marketshare that is left over when you subtract the named browsers for all the sources thus giving a percentage that is always valid. If you disagree please tell me why.Thorenn (talk) 17:17, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- The chart values should use the median instead of the mean. This is true for at least two reasons (1) the number of sources is small and the median is less effected by outliers (2) we have no idea how the sources created their percentages in most cases, So median results in a more accurate estimation in this case. Also the reason the median and mean where so far off was because someone messed with the numbers. I re-looked at the sources and re-calculated. The result is both the mean an median very close. Next time send me a message before you change the chart (I'm the original creator). Jdm64 (talk) 10:09, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 11:06, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:Trinity Bridge St Petersburg.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Trinity Bridge St Petersburg.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 14:25, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Adcenter promo.gif)
editThanks for uploading File:Adcenter promo.gif. 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 '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) 04:05, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
The article Fauntleroy Park (Seattle) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- non-notable park
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
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 {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Weihang7 (talk) 14:42, 25 December 2012 (UTC)

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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:36, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
