8½

The movie 8½ is the best-known use of the name, and in fact we don't even have an article on the Plan 9 GUI. In such cases, we usually let the best-known topic have the un-disambiguated title, and put a small disambiguation notice at the topic. This is similar to, for instance, London, which is about the major city in England and not a disambiguation page to various cities and towns called "London" around the world. -- Curps 21:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, disambiguation for films would use lowercase: "(film)" rather than uppercase "(Film)". -- Curps 21:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Template:Title

Template:Title was moved to User:SushiGeek/Title per a discussion on templates for deletion. I've fixed it on your user page. SushiGeek 15:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The State University of Management

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The State University of Management, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.guu.ru/info.php?id=554. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 13:32, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

{{Ukraine-university-stub}}

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This is partly in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and partly so that those who regularly deal with stub articles know what stub types are likely to need re-sorting soon. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness...wha? 02:12, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Undo...

...your move of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed to Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (video game). The project and video game were moved about after a talk-page discussion you didn't even participate in. The common search term is for the video game and, to aid in navigation, that article should appear without the disambiguation parenthetical thing. --EEMIV (talk) 17:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't find "that" discussion on Wikipedia:Requested moves page. Where did it take place??? --eugrus (talk) 17:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

User:Diego pmc started a discussion on the request moves page on the 25th following several days on the article talk page; User:Parsecboy carried out the move on the 29th. --EEMIV (talk) 17:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Anna Chapman.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Anna Chapman.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Eeekster (talk) 22:56, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Anna Chapman.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Anna Chapman.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 '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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 23:14, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

• Ok. Thank you for your help. I'll do it tomorrow. --eugrus (talk) 23:22, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Anna Chapman. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. magnius (talk) 23:23, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Well. I do not feel like I did. Do you suppose me to be affiliated with The Daily Telegraph or KP? --eugrus (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Anna Chapman.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Anna Chapman.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia 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. Peripitus (Talk) 12:10, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Template:user ru-no speedy deletion request

Hi Eugrus, I have declined your speedy deletion request of Template:user ru-no because it does not meet our criteria for speedy deletion. Instead, I have nominated it for deletion at Wikipedia:Templates_for_discussion/Log/2015_March_5#Template:User_ru-no. You are welcome to participate in that discussion should you desire. --B (talk) 23:05, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

• Thank you for the message! --eugrus (talk) 23:10, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
  • And I have now been informed that userboxes aren't discussed at TFD, so I have opened Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Template:User ru-no (2nd nomination) instead if you wish to opine. --B (talk) 23:22, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Deleting your user page on Ladino Wikipedia

I read your request and will take care of it. StevenJ81 (talk) 13:45, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

• Thanks! :) --eugrus (talk) 13:46, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Пожалуста. (Did I spell that right?) And:  Done

By the way: I went back and looked at your contributions at ladwiki, and this alphabet switcher idea looked pretty interesting. How does it work? Does the alphabet switcher automatically transcribe between alphabets, or do contributors still have to do that manually?

• If it's the former, there is some challenge in that there are several different Latin-script orthographies in Ladino, and they're used inconsistently on ladwiki. But maybe we could try.
• If it's the latter, it will never happen. The wiki is a pretty quiet one. I'm a new (temporary) administrator, and at that don't really speak Djudeo-Espanyol. I'm mostly trying to do some formatting and administrative work there now. But I'll never get enough help to do all that transcription.

In any event, there are fewer than 50 articles in main space in Hebrew script; the vast majority of pages are written in some version or other of the Latin script. Then there are maybe another 20-30 templates and categories that are twinned. So unless this would work automatically, it is just not going to happen. StevenJ81 (talk) 14:01, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Almost - it's "Пожалуйста" :) As to the alphabet switcher, it would use one alphabet as the base for the source text and automatically convert the letters to another alphabetical system. For instance you can see the same article of the Kazakh Wikipedia in Arabic sript: [1] or in Latin script: [2] ,but if you edit it, it's always Cyrillic "inside": [3] I don't know for sure how difficult the technical implementation would be for a certain orpho-alphabetical pair and which alphabet is more appropriate as the source alphabet in any case. I think you could ask further on the community pages of the Kazakh or Serbian Wikipedia if you have questions. If the Ladino orthography in the Jewish script is more standardized than in Latin, the Jewish script would probably be easier to use as the source base for conversion. --eugrus (talk) 14:19, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I'll have a further look. I'm guessing we'll have a hard time with it, because the mapping is not 1-1 (in any direction). But we'll see ... thanks for your help. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:20, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Basically, here are the orthography correspondences in Kazakh, if you are interested: Kazakh_alphabets#Correspondence_chart --eugrus (talk) 15:25, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

It helps an awful lot when there is a pretty fixed correspondence. I'm going to copy this discussion into my sandbox at ladwiki, if you don't mind, for reference. StevenJ81 (talk) 15:56, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I did irrevocably agree to release my contribution under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL, so I am not in a position to argue anyways --eugrus (talk) 16:00, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Chris Odom

Hello Eugrus,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Chris Odom for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. DivaNtrainin (talk) 05:47, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 13

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Odom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page PUA. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Chris Odom

The article Chris Odom has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Literally all sources unsuitable for Wikipedia, and mostly primary. WP:BEFORE shows the football player in RSes. No evidence of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. David Gerard (talk) 07:43, 3 September 2018 (UTC)

Nomination of Chris Odom for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Chris Odom is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Odom until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. David Gerard (talk) 09:15, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Neobank appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists.
