Hi Ross-c,
I saw your question on [[Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archive_6]] and it is quite similar to mine on the current [[Wikipedia:Help_desk]].  I have been thinking about the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Fact_and_Reference_Check]] and think that, particularly for these the [[Internet_Archive]] should be used. I am interested in your ideas for a bot. [[User:PeterGrecian|PeterGrecian]] 17:13, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)




Hello {{PAGENAME}} and '''[[Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers|welcome]]''' to [[Wikipedia]]! Hope you like it here, and stick around.

Here are some tips to help you get started:

*To sign your posts (on [[Wikipedia:Tutorial (Talk pages)|talk pages]], for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type &#126;&#126;&#126; (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (4 tildes).
* Try the [[Wikipedia:Tutorial|Tutorial]], and feel free to experiment in the [[Wikipedia:Test area|test area]].
* If you need [[Wikipedia:Help|help]], post a question at the [[Wikipedia:Help desk|Help Desk]]
*Follow the [[Wikipedia:Simplified Ruleset]]
* Eventually, you might want to read the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] and [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Policies and Guidelines]].
*Remember [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view]]
* Explore, [[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|be bold in editing pages]], and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck!

== Image:Barbieri.jpg ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Barbieri.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:Barbieri.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:Barbieri.jpg|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&namespace=6}} this link]</span>. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].  If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Hi there.

If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button [[Image:Signature_icon.png]] located above the edit window.

== Re: [[Hans Kammerlander]] ==

Sorry, I am not an admin, so I'm definitely not the admin who deleted the previous version, which only admins can do, and never saw the previous version, which only admins can now see. Since the new article has the same title (which is proper), I can no longer see the previous deletion to note the deleting admin, which I did not think to do at the Help desk, though I will in the future. For now, I will make changes to the article, according to Wikipedia's Manual of Style ([[WP:MOS]]) starting with [[WP:YEARLINK]]. [[User:Dru of Id|Dru of Id]] ([[User talk:Dru of Id|talk]]) 21:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
:Ah, I see where I became confused. I thought the reference to you was that you deleted the article. But, it was you telling me that the article had been deleted. Many apologies. [[User:Ross-c|Ross-c]] ([[User talk:Ross-c#top|talk]]) 21:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
Would <nowiki>Category:Italian ski mountaineers</nowiki> be apt? See [[Ski mountaineering]].
:The German Wikipedia article [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans Kammerlander here] is much more extensive, although frequently referenced to self-published/non-independent works; a bot will most likely link his pages soon. The bibliography section there has more works, though articles do not need to have every detail. I believe it is unlikely that it will be speedily deleted or nominated for deletion in the future, as I think you've firmly established his notability to Wikipedia standards. I took his bibliography out of citebook format because repeating his name ten times in ten lines would likely fall under [[WP:PUFFERY]]; ten publications with various publishers over decades is impressive on its own, repeating his name so often seems like trying too hard. Thanks for the article, your effort, & your time. [[User:Dru of Id|Dru of Id]] ([[User talk:Dru of Id|talk]]) 14:23, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

:The fact that you referenced from Find a Grave was also in his congressional bio, so I removed findagrave as a reference and moved it to an external link. Find a Grave is user-submitted, so should not be used when a more reliable source can be cited (although fine for information shown on grave markers). I also added the <nowiki>{{Bioguide}}</nowiki> attribution and the Virginia 22nd congressional district succession box. Note that [[:Template:Find a Grave]] is available.
:Note also that if you copy an article title from the article, the underscores do not show, which is mainly important at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]] submissions, as it limits the linked search results.

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Indigo Falls]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:
:'''non-notable music group'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Indigo Falls|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist.

:: I didn't get a chance to look at this. However, in any case, I support the merging of the page with the Richard Barbieri page as the Indigo Falls project never produced more than the single album released just before I created the page.

== Creating articles ==

Hallo, when you create a new article like [[Ernst Schmied]] please keep to the [[WP:MOS|manual of style]] of English wikipedia. 

Notably:
*Use bold for the article title when using it for the start of the lead sentence
*don't use "b." and "d.": when both dates are known, use a range; otherwise use "born" or "died"
*don't link dates - see [[WP:MOSNUM]]
