RE: Edit at 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – World Cup 4

Hi there, I just want to clarify what did I do wrong in editing the 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – World Cup 4? You seem to be very upset on your edit summary. As you know that any issue with regard to improving an article should be discussed in its talk page, or you can even drop me a message. Removing a fair and constructive edits without any valid reason is against the Wikipedia policy. Thus, I rollback the article to the last proper edit. I hope that you enjoy your stay at English Wikipedia. — Rammaum^talk_stalk 21:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Could you please explain in what way this could be merged in to this article? And from the first template — OK, I can agree with the first one (about refs needed), and maybe the last one (but I don't know which words can I link because there aren't such articles about Mass Start and all other disciplines). But I don't see any reasons to put all other templates. --Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 21:42, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

This "sprint" article: '2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – Sprint Men' was created on December 9, 2011; and this one '2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – World Cup 4' was created on December 16, 2011. The former was obviously created earlier that should be expanded with its content as a 'sprint article,' a synonymous to (dash & run), while the latter is meant to be an event of "World Cup 4" of which discusses "relay", synonymous to (race) & "sprint", again synonymous to (dash & run) - obviously the same context with the former. Therefore, it would have been better to merge these two as a single worth reading article. — Rammaum^talk_stalk 04:53, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

You have misunderstood the organization of these articles. They are organized like this for many years. Take a look at this, this and this templates (and articles)... So I'll move off all your templates.

P.S. Sorry for my bad English (I'm not native speaker)--Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 11:33, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Biathlon world cup

Thanks for all the great work on the articles, the volumn of details is intimidating. I 'wikified' the events on world cup 4 so that ANYONE who comes to that page can be directed to explanations of every event, so that they will understand what is meant by a biathlon 'relay' or 'sprint' or whatever. Curious why they did not follow the links instead using a dictionary or a thesaurus isn't it? Seeing you are from Riga made me smile, lost a dear friend from there recently, keep up the good work.18abruce (talk) 19:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Alīna Fjodorova, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Latvian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hubert Leitgeb

Hello. I just wanted to make sure you'd seen my edits to this, which you recently created as a disambiguation page, in case you wanted to challenge it. I removed the botanist as it didn't meet MOS:DABRL, MOS:DABMENTION or have an article. Even if it had one of these, it would probably be better to use a hatnote per WP:TWODABS. Aslo just to let you know, there should only be one blue link per line on a dab, preferably to an article on that person/topic. See WP:DDD for a really clear summary, or MOS:DAB for a more detailed explanation of the guidelines. If you object to the move, please comment at Talk:Hubert Leitgeb. Thanks, Boleyn (talk) 19:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

No, it is OK. For the disambig page – I just copied from Leitgeb page (I just hadn't time to type myself :D ). --Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 05:17, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

AfD and PROD

Hi Edgars. Back in November, you got either an AfD or PROD notification, and it was during one of the template testing project's experiments. If you could go here and leave us some feedback about what you think about the new versions of the templates we tested (there are links to the templates), that would be very useful. (You can also email me at swallingwikimedia.org if you want.) Thanks! Steven Walling (WMF) • talk 20:02, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

RE: Answer on your Talk: Speedy Deletion Nomination of Sarah G. Live

Hi. I am not edited this current work (adding references). This articles is made by me, but it is edited by other users, the references added by other users make me confusing. But I will revert this to my edit and I will Prevent the speedy deletion of this article.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages. Thanks, Heroman1234 (talk) 14:29, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

It won't be OK. I nominated it for speedy deletion because it contained copyrighted material (here). You can rewrite that materail with your own words, but don't copy -> paste! --Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 14:36, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

fixing dashes

Regarding fixing dashes (such as this edit), I'm wondering if we should exclude titles of sources from such fixes. For example, the title of this this reference includes the standard hyphen, so should we not quote this title verbatim rather than try to correct it (to a dash) on behalf of the source? --Jameboy (talk) 00:20, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Similarly, your script needs to leave file links alone, or you end up with re linked images. Thanks. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:16, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

IAAF Hall of Fame

Hi Edgars2007. Why did you create two articles about one subject?Montell 74 (talk) 19:09, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Foreign language article

You tagged Štefan Polák for speedy deletion with the reason "Foreign language article". Please understand that this is not a valid criterion for speedy deletion. Only the narrowly interpreted criteria listed at WP:CSD are valid criteria. Articles that are in a foreign language that otherwise do not meet the criteria for deletion should instead be tagged for translation (using {{Not English}}). (In this case, the article also happens to be a copyright violation, so the tag has been changed.) WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:54, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks for information. --Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 17:55, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: New York Knicks

Your SVG is of their old logo...their new logo has the black taken out. I replaced the new logo in there, but I will accept your SVG revisions as long as you make sure it's of the NEW logo, and not the old one. Tom Danson (talk) 17:39, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Oh, yes. Sorry for that. --Edgars2007 (Talk/Contributions) 17:59, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:New York Knicks logo.svg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:New York Knicks logo.svg. 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 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 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. Skier Dude (talk) 11:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
