Neckbreaker

Please do not add original research to articles as you did to neckbreaker. To say that someone made a move famous needs a reliable source to back up the assertion. Otherwise, the info will be removed on sight. This is Misplaced Pages policy. Thanks. Nikki♥311 18:52, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I think you misunderstand me...the source you added doesn't say anything about her making the move famous, and in fact doesn't mention "inverted overdrive" at all. You need a source that specifically mentions her using the move AND "making it famous". Nikki♥311 19:57, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Can you help me fine one? Or maybe just mention it was the move that put an end to the career of Tara? TheiGuard (talk) 20:41, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

If you notice on the pages that describe the moves, usually only the innovators or the most prominent users of a move are mentioned, and then it is only when a source is available to prove they are such. Maybe it can be mentioned in Tara or Rayne's article that she pinned Tara after using the move, but not in the neckbreaker article. Nikki♥311 02:52, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

On second thought, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for either of those articles either. Since the finish wasn't terribly remarkable, it is best to employ WP:SUMMARY style to keep the articles from getting longer than desired Misplaced Pages article lengths. The most appropriate place for that information is the match description (in the article prose, not the table) in Sacrifice (2010). Nikki♥311 04:44, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay I understand. TheiGuard (talk) 15:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Notice of Discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators noticeboard regarding the Talk:Barack Obama page. The thread is Talk:Barack Obama#Citizenship conspiracy theories.The discussion is about the topic of the recent Citizenship conspiracy theories discussion. Thank you.

P.S. I have written nothing negative about you there. It is merely breaking down the conversation, and as such, you are mentioned, so I'm required to notify you. --Jzyehoshua (talk) 05:20, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

The Beautiful People

Although The Beautiful People is comprised of more than one person, the stable itself is a singular entity. Therefore, the correct grammar is "The Beautiful People is" rather than "The Beautiful People are". Another example is the world family, which is singular although more than one person usually comprises it..."A family is" rather than "A family are". Thanks. Nikki♥311 04:03, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

He is, she is, it is, we are, they are, you are. That's correct, however "we is" does not sound correct. 'Are' focuses on the noun as consisting of several individuals. "The Beautiful People is" sounds wrong. TheiGuard (talk) 04:06, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Victoria_Sutherland.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Victoria_Sutherland.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 08:24, 11 June 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey (talk) 08:24, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Fishing/Recreational Fishing

The edits that you have made to Fishing and Recreational fishing are not likely to stay long because they are contrary to Wiki's NPOV policy. While you may be able to change a word like "harvesting" as used as a hunting term to something more descriptive which remains NPOV, the changes you made are somewhat off topic. The point of the girl holding the fish is that she has caught the fish by fishing - the picture caption reflects the article subject. Stating that she has killed the fish, which is certainly true, is not the point of the picture. If you wished to insert referenced material about poaching, damage done by fishing, etc., that might be a way to include information in a way that won't be immediately removed - see the fish article for some samples of this. Good luck. Bob98133 (talk) 13:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Maryse's French Kiss.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Maryse's French Kiss.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nikki♥311 01:23, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Maryse's French Kiss.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Maryse's French Kiss.jpg. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:21, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
