[edit] List of Hunter × Hunter episodes Image upload

Hi, you reacted on my talkpage because I was uploading images on the List of Hunter × Hunter episodes page without saying under which license. I didn't do that because I don't exactly know. I have the images from [www.youtube.com] from the video animation serie: Hunter x Hunter. This serie is a free fansub, which is legal put on youtube and I think free to spread. So which licensing term and thing I must add?

[edit] Links to the Australian Dictionary of Biography

Why did you remove these links? As far as I can tell, they are links to a useful, authoritative reference that is available at no charge and does not even contain advertisements. These links are useful for anyone reading these articles, i.e. people wanting to find information about these persons, and are useful for editors who want to improve the Wikipedia article, as the dictionary itself contains substantial information and a bibliography for further reading. —Centrx→talk • 18:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Centrx on this, the A.D.B. is a good reference. I have used it in some of the articles I have created (see WP:ADB) and I have quoted the reference. People are always encouraged to quote reliable references when creating or editing Wikipedia articles. I believe the ADB links should stay. — Diverman 22:03, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I removed them because they were being spammed onto articles, they werent being utilised as a reference (see the list below). The editor was making no other edits to the articles just adding links. I removed those edit added by the annon IP. Gnangarra 02:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

This person simply thought it would be a good thing to have these links on the articles, which it is. He does not seem to be affiliated with the Australian Dictionary of Biography and anyway it is a free site with no advertisements. In his e-mail correspondence he seems to be acting in good faith but is confused as to the reason for removing these links. In some cases, the Australian Dictionary of Biography was used as a reference—but the addition of the link was slightly redundant because the articles already referenced an older version at a different link. In others, it does not seem to be a reference but appears nevertheless to be a suitable addition as a link. While spamming is a problem on Wikipedia, it is generally a problem with a) commercial sites for pay or with advertisements, i.e. where traffic makes money; and b) non-authoritative POV sites, i.e. where the links are added to push a particular POV. Neither of this seems to be the case here. —Centrx→talk • 02:32, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

as per WP:SPAM#Source_soliciting

• Adding external links to an article or user page for the purpose of promoting a website or a product is not allowed, and is considered to be spam. Although the specific links may be allowed under some circumstances, repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed.

The removal isnt as a result of an opinion about the site, its purely in response to the IP actions. Gnangarra 04:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

• What evidence do you have that the purpose of adding these links was to promote this website or product?
• Why are these links not appropriate for these articles?

—Centrx→talk • 04:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Because the actions were done by an anon IP address, single purpose systematic editing by adding the EL(see the list above), I warned the editor multiple times but the edits continued. Since the IP editor wasnt adding content to the articles they aren't source for information added by that editor. repeatedly adding links will in most cases result in all of them being removed from WP:SPAM. As I've already said I was responding only to the actions of the IP not commenting on the EL. Gnangarra 06:35, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not bringing this up to question your actions or to know whatever section of the rulebook justifies them. I'm bringing it up to ask:

• Should we not have these links on the articles?
• What can I tell this person via e-mail as the reason why these links are not appropriate; to me they seem fine?

—Centrx→talk • 06:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

The removal was in response to the actions of the IP ie spamming. I havent said A.D.B. isnt an appropriate source(I've used them myself), only the method of inclusion. Gnangarra 07:06, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Azolla

That, my friend, is Azolla. Hesperian 11:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Just to clarify: the dark green and purple ones are Azolla; the bright yellow-green ones are Lemna. Hesperian 11:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Nice. I thought I was negating your material and you'd have to take it out; but you turned it into a huge positive by finding more info and a good ref. Goodonyamate. Hesperian 05:11, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Saw Banksia flowers.jpg

No, good on you - was meaning to a crop it myself, mainly in response to what someone said on the featured pictured wannabes. Just never got around to it. Peter1968 07:34, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PSA Books/Papers

Hey, i was wondering if you could help out on the project page - i am creating a section on information regarding the PSA and its school - including all books/research papers about them - i have scowered all the talk pages etc, and found some of them - i was just wondering if you knew of any others that could be added to the list here - [1] many thanks, Twenty Years 13:55, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Darling Scarp/Range

Thanks. Just put a note on the Darling Scarp talk page, but will bring it to Hesperian's attention. --Zamphuor 14:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TFA

Thanks :) I really should get this Wheatbelt stuff sorted out so I can head towards getting another one going. Orderinchaos 03:08, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

That links up with Shire of Gnowangerup and also Great Southern (Western Australia) quite well. I might code up Gnowangerup quickly so it's there (I've gotten quite used to doing these shire articles now :)) Orderinchaos 03:41, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD - List of Seven Network slogans

Hey there. I'm not normally one for argueing the toss but in this case... I know it's not a voting based process but you seem to have given exceptional weight to the claim by John Vandenberg that he had five citations to strongly back up individual slogans. I've just finished looking at them (I know, I'm probably five days late) and guess what? None of them are inherently about the slogan. So while they do - if you look, very hard in some cases! - tend to confirm that something was a slogan "sometime in the 80's" for one of them, they are hardly the reliable sources that WP:ATT suggests we build articles around.

I would strongly argue against inclusion of any of John's citations into the list, and without any references the article does not comply with WP:ATT.

I understand that there is a limited timeframe for the AfD process, and in any case, just because in this instance it came back as Keep, if the article isn't improved then at some point it will probably come back for deletion again. Garrie 23:06, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
