From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hi, please don't recreate deleted articles as you did with Arrishtotolo Suleymanokh "Harry S." Fulmonovich. You might want to look at Wikipedia's guidelines on articles on individuals. I'm afraid your article does not meet these criteria. Thanks, Gwernol 04:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Message on my Talk Page
Hi Rob, sorry for the rather abrupt message above, and thanks for taking the time to write and explain. The reason I originally nominated your article Arrishtotolo Suleymanokh "Harry S." Fulmonovich for deletion was that I believed it was an article about a real person - hence my reference to the WP:BIO guideline. I hadn't realized from the text of the article that it was about a fictional character from the Archie comics universe.
As you suggested, it would be a good idea to make this clear at the start of any article you write. In general its good style to clearly state the context of an article in the opening paragraph of each article. See the manual of style for more information.
Now the less good news. Its not clear to me what the status of a proposed character like Harry would be. The cannonical Archie characters like Archie Andrews and Betty Cooper are clearly notable in their own right and have articles in Wikipedia. However you should look at Wikipedia's guidelines on what Wikipedia is not and in particular the prohibition on original research which is one of the core principles of Wikipedia. It seems to me that a proposed character might well fall into the category of original research, in which case your article is unlikely to make it in.
Please understand that this is not a judgement on the quality of your work. Your creations deserve a place on the web, it just may not be on Wikipedia. You should get a second opinion on this though, because a different editor may take a different view. In particular one of the more experienced admins may be able to give you a better idea if your proposed articles falls under original research or not.
I hope this is of some help. Please leave me another message if I can help you further. Best, Gwernol 14:20, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Saranda Yates
Your article about Saranda Yates Jones should be more specific (It seems falls more into the original research category). Please check the discussion page. As the creator of the article, I think you should be more clear about the character. Although you made your own website dedicated to the character, I think it would be better if you change the tone and the words into Wikipedia so it won't look as you copied the whole thing from the website. The character is likely not a major Archie character, so I suggest to be put into minor page.
[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:HarryHd01.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:HarryHd01.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 20:31, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Image copyright problem with Image:WMPXlogo1998.jpg
I added a copyright tag to this logo so it won't be deleted. In the future you will want to add it to all television logos that are uploaded.
I also would like to commend you on the various Portland TV station edits you made. I have been working on updating most of those articles myself and I welcome your help. Samuel 19:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
