User talk:SturmGreetings! If you are new and need some assistance, here are some great links to check out:
I hope you enjoy editing here, and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, find out where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Before I go, here's one more tip. When you post on talk pages, be sure to sign your name and the date by typing four tildes: ~~~~. That automatically generates your username and the date. Again, welcome, and happy editing! --King of All the Franks 20:46, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
"Fair use" is fairly narrowly defined; the image that you up-loaded seemed to have been copyrighted, and didn't meet normal fair-use criteria (and you didn't gve an explanation of its fair-use status). The problem with the article is that just being a model isn't usually enough to warrant an article in an encyclopædia (there are hundreds of thousands of models). Calling her a supermodel wouldn't be enough either, but there's in fact no evidence that she is one; the links were to two pages of photographs of her, and didn't establish anything. Is there anything that she's achieved – prizes or awards, etc. – that could justify the article? --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:11, 24 January 2006 (UTC) Re:HelpWhat do need help with?--Rayc 22:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC) Rodan of AlexandriaHello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the ![]() Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Fortress (1986 film), by Tiptoety, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Notability of C,mm,n![]() Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on C,mm,n, by Agamemnon2 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because C,mm,n seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hares.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Hares.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. 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. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page.

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding Romero RodriguesA reference was added here but because the editor also added a Twitter link a bot reverted it. The article was corrected again here. Enter CBW, waits for audience applause, not a sausage. 04:29, 7 January 2011 (UTC) Disambiguation link notificationHi.

Medals etc. of BrazilHey Strum, I noticed that you moved Category:Orders, decorations, and medals of Brazil and got rid of the Oxford comma. I was just curious if you were doing that of your own volition or if there was a consensus to it (I know how contentious the Oxford comma can be), and if you were planning on moving all the other medals categories to match. Thanks! spiderjerky (talk) 22:00, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Sweet Home 3D requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://itunes.apple.com/il/app/sweet-home-3d/id669289700?mt=12. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here. If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
