Yuku article[edit]

Please could you explain the "no evidence of notability" announcement you added to the Yuku page? I have added a new item to the Talk:Yuku page. Thanks. JamminBen 04:13, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. Have taken this discussion to the Talk:Yuku page...--MonkeyTimeBoy 20:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Andrewfromgeni[edit]

Thanks for the tip. We aren't trying to do anything wrong. We just think we are a legit social networking site.--Andrewfromgeni

Sure thing. I agree. Geni will get listed soon--there's some policy against listing sites in beta. Once yours is full release status I bet it'll be listed.--MonkeyTimeBoy 01:18, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No, it actually won't. Wikipedia isn't a billboard. YOu can't use it to advertise your site. Andrewfromgeni is OBVIOUSLY advertising HIS site by adding it. Further, getting others, such as yourself, to add it would make you a meatpuppet, which is also prohibited under wiki-policy. I reccomend you read up on the wikia based projects already linked on Genealogy. Thank you.

On another note, List of genealogy portals is the best place for your webbiographies site. External Links on Genealogy should be of broad interest, significant reliability, and not require an admission fee, currency or information-based. Thank you. ThuranX 00:31, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to see tht you caught up with the talk page sections regarding exactly this. Thanks for reading up on it, I look forward to more positive edits in the pages from you in the future.ThuranX 00:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Geni.com is a notable company--check its article. He just didn't know what he was doing. Regardless, it is worthy and notable, and he was talking about an entirely different issue than the Genealogy page... A quick check of the dates involved would have shown that to you... WebBiographies, as a matter of fact, satisfies the criteria you just mentioned--free, you can access the gen. resources without even signing up for the free membership, etc. Thanks for clarifying that, feel free to re-list it.--MonkeyTimeBoy 00:45, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. See here and here. And please read the site's wikipedia article before unilaterally declaring non-notable (it quite obviously IS notable--that was settled quite some time ago).

P.P.S. If we cannot agree, we can use Arbitration.--MonkeyTimeBoy 00:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And please, refrain from addressing others with derogatory language.--MonkeyTimeBoy 01:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

there's no derogatory language, and I still don't think it's notable. You can readd Webbiographies if you want, but I still think it's a small, NON-notable site, and the fact that you must register to see any genealogical data isn't exactly a great setup, nor particularly free. ThuranX 20:40, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Calling someone a "meatpuppet" is neither professional nor WP policy. Apparently, you didn't bother to follow the links I provided above either, nor did you bother to look at WebBiographies' article---i.e. the references section...Wall Street Journal, BusinessWeek, etc. have all reported on it. = Notable, according to WP policy. Please refer to WP notability policies as well as conduct.--MonkeyTimeBoy 22:03, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I take it that, as you apparently didn't follow the good faith links, and continue to unilaterally declare notability or non-notability of sites on wikipedia, this will not be resolved between the two of us. I am therefore taking the required "second step" in the Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution process, and will disengage for a few days, before "step three"...or deciding it isn't worth it.--MonkeyTimeBoy 22:18, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Swinging article[edit]

Thanks for your hard work. I noticed that you were trying to figure out references, here is where I go: Citation of generic sources There is a specific format shown there for web sites. Regards, Atom (talk) 20:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:WBscreenshot.PNG[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:WBscreenshot.PNG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:24, 27 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
