Orphaned non-free image File:J92s-sail-emblem.png
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:J92s-sail-emblem.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.

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:54, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:51, 30 June 2020 (UTC)Thanks for signing up for this project. The project is not as active as it could be and so we can always use more help. If you haven't done so already you might want to add Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sailing to your watch list as this is where much of the background discussion occurs. You may also want to watch Wikipedia:WikiProject Sailing/New articles as this is where newly created articles get listed for peer review. Having a look over these new articles is a great way to get a feel for how things are done on the project and also most new articles need reviewing anyway. If you have any questions you can leave me a note or post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Sailing, either way you will get a quick response. - Ahunt (talk) 15:33, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit] Hello Simon.letort, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to J/92 have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.
- You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
- Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
- Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
- If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
- Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 12:22, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:J/92 (keelboat)
[edit]A tag has been placed on Category:J/92 (keelboat) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.
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.

DGG ( talk ) 05:53, 6 March 2021 (UTC)Hi there. Your edits to this template yesterday has somehow induced an extra line return in sailboat articles that use the template. The line return appears at the top of the article text, as you can see, for example in Dufour 24. I have not been able to find the error, so can you please fix it? - Ahunt (talk) 17:01, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi. Sorry for that, I corrected it. It was due to the line before noinclude. [see diff: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_sailboat_specifications&action=historysubmit&type=revision&diff=1012107493&oldid=1011879222&diffmode=source] Btw, I working on improving the wikidata associated to sailboats. Goal would be to have the infobox fed from wikidata. This requires the properties for sailboats to be set in wikidata, which is why I started to worked on TemplateData|. I'm now thinking of the best way to create the corresponding properties in wikidata. I think you might be interested in the topic. Best, simon (talk) 17:16, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for fixing that! Personally I have had poor experiences with wikidata, so my vote would be to leave data as "local". - Ahunt (talk) 17:22, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Interesting feedback on wikidata. I participated to this Met Museum / Wikipedia meetup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetWHM (video replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MH1IOQPhmoU) and found interesting the use of wikidata for artworks. For instance this knowledge graph https://knowledgegrapher.toolforge.org/creator/Q241732. I'm under the impression that we can code the infobox in such a way that if there is data locally, this local data is displayed in priority; but if there is no data, then the data from wikidata is displayed. (see the telescophe infobox for instance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_telescope?action=edit). simon (talk) 17:33, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Yes, that "local data overrides Wikidata" seem to be the way we have been going. It isn't perfect, but it is better than relying on Wikidata alone. My main concern is having people replacing sourced specs with unsourced specs on Wikidata and then the original article editor not even realizing that the en.wikipedia article is now wrong. - Ahunt (talk) 17:39, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

The Perfect Game (1958 film) moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, The Perfect Game (1958 film), is not suitable as written to remain published. It is very incomplete, and is not ready to be viewed by readers. (?) I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:

[edit] Hi Simon.letort! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Angela Fan that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you.

In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary!

[edit] Please refrain from hijacking pages as you did with Macif. Should you believe the subject you were writing about deserves an article, please use the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version that you can then get feedback on. Also see Wikipedia's disambiguation guideline which indicates how to handle separate subjects with similar names. If you continue to hijack an existing article, you may be blocked from editing. If you have any questions, you are always welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 14:05, 26 August 2023 (UTC) (amended to correct my misremembering: 16:12, 26 August 2023 (UTC))
- @Dl2000 I think this is ignorance rather than malice! The editor discussed this
on my talk pageat Talk:Macif (disambiguation) but has gone the wrong way about trying to resolve the issue. I am convinced by the French Wikipedia article and the company website that "Macif" is the appropriate title for the article about the company, and the trimaran needs a disambiguated title. - @Simon.letort Please never copy and paste content from one page to another: it loses the history of "who wrote what" which is a key part of Wikipedia. D12000 was correct to revert your attempt to move the page this way. There is a mess at the moment with the article on the company lost to sight: I will try to retrieve it now, but we might have to use the "Request Move" process which is not instant. PamD 16:08, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- OK, I have wound back the copy-and-paste moves and made the formal "Move Request" at Talk:Macif, and a bot will put a message on Talk:MACIF. We then need to wait to see if anyone objects. (For a single page move one can request a non-controversial technical move and it happens almost immediately, but for moving multiple pages there seems no such quick option - see it all in gory detail at Wikipedia:Requested moves). PamD 16:29, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks a lot @PamD, for both requesting the "move request" and explaining to me the correct process. simon (talk) 04:20, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Dl2000@Simon.letort Please comment in support at that Move request so that someone who closes move requests can see there is consensus. Thanks. PamD 05:31, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
