Speedy deletion nomination of American International School of Vienna
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cf/Copyright-problem.svg/48px-Copyright-problem.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on American International School of Vienna requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit]![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:American International School Vienna.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 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) 06:55, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:29, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |

A request from the Syracuse Post-Standard
[edit]Hello Newkai,
I am a reporter at the Post-Standard, and I'm researching a story about the "Syracuse, New York" entry on Wikipedia, and the gallant editors who monitor and revise it - and fend off vandals. I have been looking at some of the crazier attempts to change the Syracuse page -- folks trying to add their names to the "well known" people list, folks adding sophomoric humor and sometimes folks just ranting inappropriately (even if their rants might have a ring of truth.)
In the course of my research, I came across your user name extensively, and you are listed as the most prolific editor on the Syracuse page. The top two are far and away above all others.
I would like to interview you along these lines. Why spend so much time manning the barricaides of the Syracuse, New York site? How many hours do you put in? How often do you check? Why do it?
As a newspaper person, I prefer to know the name of the person I am dealing with. So if you're willing to talk, I would hope you would be willing to do it with your name. But I do understand people's desires for confidentiality. I think the work you do is commendable. So if you don't want your name used, I would honor that request.
Can we talk?
My name is Hart Seely. I have been a reporter since 1979 at this paper. My phone number is 315-470-2247. My email is hseely@syracuse.com. I suspect email might be the best course of contact. I'll be hoping to hear from you.
Thank you,
Hart — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.39.83.202 (talk) 21:48, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Newkai. My name is Matthew Roth and I'm the Global Communications Manager with the Wikimedia Foundation. I spoke with Hart and recommended he reach out to you through your talk page if he wanted to get in touch. I'm happy to discuss with you more if you have questions or want to talk about anything: mroth
wikimedia.org. I found Hart had done quite a bit of his homework and he appeared to have a real curiosity about who works so hard to keep the Syracuse, New York article in good shape. Sometimes these types of stories turn out to be quite good, as reporters get the human interest angle behind the hard work of editors. A couple examples here and here. All best, Matthew (wmf) (talk) 23:46, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:DestinyUSALogo.svg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading File:DestinyUSALogo.svg. 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, 24 July 2012 (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.

[edit]Hi, This image was seemingly uploaded prior to current image polices, Thank you.
However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm, that it was your own work, by marking it as {{own}}, amending the {{information}} added by a third party, and by changing the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add |claimed=yes
to the {{media by uploader}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{information}} where appropriate).
This will assist those reviewing the many many "free" images on commons that have not yet been transfered to Commons. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:38, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
