Non-free use disputed for Image:El Al ocean ad.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:El Al ocean ad.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

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. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Russavia. Could you add information on where you got Image:El Al ocean ad.png to the image description page? It seems to be a pretty important picture and it looks very good in the El Al article, so it would be really unfortunate if it got deleted. I've written a fair-use rationale which I hope will be sufficient, but the sourcing info is still required and I didn't have the sourcing info. Thanks, nadav (talk) 11:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Air Pristina

You are not the expert you claim to be. Air Pristina now has four Airbus aircraft and has begun flying routes with its own planes, albeit under other airlines AOCs until it gets its own. www.airplanephotos.de/Photogallery/A-319_321/0211_2.jpg. Looks pretty real to me for an airline with "no aircraft"! Harry was a white dog with black spots 08:23, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I would mind you to refrain from making snide comments. Just because there is a photo of an aircraft in its 'livery', an airline it does not make. --Russavia 23:19, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Sukhoi Su-25

As you are interested in Soviet/Russian aviation, please feel free to leave your comment/opinion at the WPMILHIST A-class review of the Sukhoi Su-25 article. Thanks! --Eurocopter tigre 14:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

anti-NATO campaign

I think your taking your anti-NATO campaign just a bit too far. It's one thing to remove them from infoboxes, but quite another to go around deleting them whereever you see them. Please show some consideration for other people who may only know SOviet aircraft by the NATO names. It's not their fault. - BillCJ 06:50, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

I am removing NATO codenames where and when required. The overwhelming overuse of NATO codenames is almost pushing NPOV envelopes, and as mentioned in the talk page, their use is sloppy. --Russavia 09:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Avia Traffic Company logo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Avia Traffic Company logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Misplaced Pages articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG 10:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Aviation trade unions

Hi Russavia, nice work in setting up Category:Aviation trade unions. Cheers, --Bookandcoffee 18:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

No worries at all, hope it helps navigation somewhat. Have also added WPAVIATION tags to said articles in the hope that perhaps some of our project members can assist in expanding the articles. We are over at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Airlines if your project needs info, etc. Cheers. --Russavia 18:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:ChukotAVIA logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:ChukotAVIA logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:49, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Skytrax

Sorry, didn't realise the cat was up for deletion. Harry was a white dog with black spots 09:33, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Commercial aviation and Civil aviation

You added original research tags to both of these articles, but didn't leave any information about the problem on the talk pages. Would it be possible to go back and identify the problems more specifically, so that people can discuss and fix them? Thanks. David 11:04, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Virgin Atlantic Airways

Hi, I noticed you added the legal name for VAA (ltd.) in the infobox on Virgin Atlantic Airways but most other airline pages don't do this. In the name of consistency should it not remain Virgin Atlantic Airways?RaseaC 16:59, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Hotels

Hello. Your current string of hotel AfD nominations brings back sweet memories! When I first started editing Misplaced Pages a while back I did pretty much the same thing and got a large chunk of them deleted. Of course, these tend to be recreated after a while. In any case, I'm just letting you know that a few of these are clear candidates for speedy deletion since they are blatant advertisements written entirely by single purpose accounts. So don't hesitate to tag the obvious spam with {{db-spam}}. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 19:31, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Pascal, nice to be able to take you back down memory lane. Those were the days eh? Ha. Will up dp-spam in future for those which are clearly spam, and afd the iffy ones. Sorry to give you work to do, but you know how it is, once you get started, you just can't stop, particularly with the audacity of some of the 'articles'. Cheers, --Russavia 20:24, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

While some articles may be candidates for CSD, some are clearly not. I'd like to respectfully remind you to use AfD/CSD criteria when determining if articles are fit for nomination. No offense intended. Luke!

I'd also like to mention that it is not a good idea to nominate several dozen pages of the same general sort for deletion at the same time. It makes it very much more difficult to pay the necessary attention to each one of them. Personally, I do groups of two, but I think groups of five or six would also be manageable. But not the 15 or 20. There was a discussion of this about a week ago on the talk page for WP:AFD, where it was pretty much agreed that it is better to space them out--my opinion is not eccentric at least in this. that I disagree with you about the notability of many ofthe hotels is not the point. DGG (talk) 07:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I note from your contribution history, that your latest AFD exercise has begun by tagging an entire string of hotels located in not anywhere in the world but the country you appear to loathe, probably thanks to your long-standing disagreements in another article related to that country. If this is so, kindly exercise better judgement and instill some professionalism in your editing career here. Nominating The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore, Meritus Mandarin Singapore, Shangri-La Hotel Singapore, etc, are clear-cut disruptive.--Huaiwei 13:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

NATO names as article titles

You might be interested in these discussions: Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Military history#Russian SAMs & NATO code names, and Talk:SA-19/SA-N-11#English wiki/NATO designation. - BillCJ 04:15, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey Bill, thanks for that, will pop over and put in my 2 bob. --Russavia 06:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Cheatline

Hi, please don't transwiki this yet, I'll be merging it shortly into an expanded Aircraft livery. Thanks. --Targeman 11:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, no worries, merging all of these dictionary terms into a single article is a good idea. I was thinking that Airline branding would be a more inclusive term, as this would include not only the livery but all branding off an airline - the 'livery' seems a little too spotterish to me, if you know what I mean, and could have the potential to simply become just another wikilink repository. Thoughts? --Russavia 11:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, I myself am only moderately interested in aircraft per se, I wrote this article (as well as Logojet and Retrojet) bearing in mind the artistic, esthetic and symbolic aspect. I agree Airline branding would make an excellent article but I can't start it because I know next to nothing about the subject. So for now I'll try to merge and provide good references for what I have, and when someone decides to to create Aircraft branding, Aircraft livery will obviously be included in it. PS. Is "livery" a geeky word? I've seen it in business magazines and I'm not a plane spotter... If "paint scheme" is more widespread, I'll be glad to change the title. Cheers --Targeman 12:06, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Banks in Singapore

Actually, I don't have much of a problem with that article. It is a fairly mediocre article but at least its approach is fundamentally sound. It tries to convey more information than just a bare list: it would not be a huge effort to expand the context and turn this into a decent encyclopedic article. Pascal.Tesson 02:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Eagles Nest

Hi. Please see both my comments on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Eagles Nest and the improved article as well. It would be nice if you could reconsider your choice on the AfD. Ingolfson 10:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Shangri-La Hotel, (placename)

Hi, did you have problems with prods being disputed? It's suprising to see all these shangri-las up for AfD when none of the ones I have looked at so far have been {{db}}'d or {{prod}}'d.Garrie 21:45, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Aircraft seat maps

You tagged Aircraft seat maps for speedy delete. I have removed the tag since the article was previously on AfD and the decision was to keep. If you feel strongly about the article being deleted, please take it to AfD or WP:PROD. Thanks! JodyB _{yak, yak, yak} 20:33, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

recent speedies

I and several other editors have been removing speedy tags from such articles as FlightAware and several charter airlines. It is not at all clear that these are not-notable. Please check WP:CSD and WP:Deletion policy. You are making unnecessary work for us over-worked admins when you overuse speedy. Deletion is for articles that cannot be improved, as a last resort. If there is spam that needs removing, remove it. (I removed spam from some of these articles when I removed the tag. )

ANd please remember that when you place a speedy or a prod tag, to notify the author of the article. It is not at the moment strictly required, but it is very highly advised, as WP is a cooperative project--and on the grounds of basic fairness. I see others have noticed this also.

Icelandair logo

Before changing the logo to an old logo you should probably check www.icelandair.com and see what their current logo looks like. Also the route map is direct from Icelandair and it says in it's copyright "The copyright for it is most likely owned by the company who created the promotional item or the artist who produced the item in question; you must provide evidence of such ownership. Lack of such evidence is grounds for deletion." The Icelandair route map most certainly falls under definition "promotional item" as it is made by Icelandair for promotional purposes. Stop messing with the Icelandair wikipedia website if you have nothing to add to it.

Reply to your bot: Android Mouse Bot 2

I have received a msg from your bot, claim that picture: Bottom_OLS.jpg is violated "non-free content criteria". The picture is from vi.wikipedia.org, which supposedly to be a part of wikipedia. Please give me further information about violation of this picture. TQ. Regards ChowHui 17:41, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Albanian Airlines logo.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Albanian Airlines logo.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
