Karlsruhe

Hi, you added informations about the jewish community in Karlsruhe to the article. Do you remember the source, I would like to take the information into the city-wiki of Karlsruhe. Nowadays we have a new synagogue, a picture can be found in the city-wiki of Karlsruhe: Karlsruhe:Bild:Synagoge Luft.jpg. --Kawana 17:32, 29 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thank you. I translated (briefly) from the Hebrew Wikipedia. Most of the article over there speaks about the extincted jewish communuty in Karlsruhe [1]

I don't see the source in the wiki text. However, a search in google - brought me to these links:

A. An article about the Jewish community in the city. [2] (in german).

B. The article "Juden in Karlsruhe" (in german), over here : [3]

C. The german film "Alle Juden raus!" - here: [4]

D. The personal story of Hanne, here: [5]

and so forth.
See also in google - with the words "jews" (or "juden")+ "Karlsruhe" [6]

Image copyright problem with Image:Favela Ben Ateva.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Favela Ben Ateva.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Stan 14:39, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See an explanation here [7]. Danny-w 19:08, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Still need to state the actual license - GFDL, CC, whatever. My Hebrew is rusty :-) so I can't tell what the he: page says for license. It's important to replicate the license info here, sometimes the original image disappears and then there's nothing to refer to. Stan 03:11, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Edit summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you.

Image Tagging Image:The body artist dellilo.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:The body artist dellilo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images 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 Image legality questions page. Thank you. Rossrs 09:39, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As you can see this image is a BOOK COVER. Danny-w 12:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:Sugihara_stamp.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sugihara_stamp.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 09:51, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I thought stamps are permitted for use - for educational non commercional purpose.

Details are here:

If you think it's illegal or wrong purpose - you might erase it.

License tagging for Image:TheStranger BookCover3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:TheStranger BookCover3.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

The tag "bookCover" was put. Danny-w 19:18, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The picture was taken from the same article in the hebrew wikipdia [8]. It is written in hebrew (as I wrote over there) [9]that it was taken with permision from the israeli site "MyPet" [10]. The permision was given to a fair use. Danny-w 12:37, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Deathofamonk hilu.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Deathofamonk hilu.jpg. 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 Wikipedia: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 00:26, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The image is a BOOK-COVER image, in an article discussing the specific Book. I didn't understand what exactly the problem is. Danny-w 22:56, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As written at the top of the page, a generic template tag is NOT a valid fair use rationale. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline -- lucasbfr ^talk 08:46, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The tag was fixed. Danny-w 22:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

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 04:34, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm tired of it!! If you (the bot and its operator) think the use in the The Stranger's book-cover image does not suitable to the definition of "fair use", in the article The Stranger itself, then do whatever you want and delete it. Danny-w 19:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The tag was fixed. Danny-w 07:57, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Tarzan and His Mate 2.JPG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tarzan and His Mate 2.JPG. 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 Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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. Yamla 04:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Jamison - anquite mind.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jamison - anquite mind.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Beaufort (novel) in the original

Greetings, Danny! In your edit to this newly created page, I see you deleted the transliteration of the original title in Hebrew. I believe this information might prove helpful, along with the subsequent reference to the Hebrew novel (with its original title) as the winner of the Israeli literary prizes (Sapir, Yitzhak Sadeh). Remember, "Beaufort" as a title was unknown at those junctures. Therefore I would like to restore it, or would you kindly explain to me whether it's proscribed in the Manual of Style or elsewhere. If you translate from Hebrew, perhaps you'd be willing to expand the page from that source? (see the Talk page as to why I won't :-) Also, please remember to italicize titles in running text, and to boldface only in the first line. -- Thanks, Deborahjay (talk) 23:38, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I found a way to neatly include the transliterated Hebrew title by formatting a Bibliography section and cleaning up the content (that still needs confirmation from the Library of Congress once its online catalog is accessible again). הערך עדיין בחיתוליו — I appreciate your pitching in at this formative stage! -- Cheers, Deborahjay (talk) 00:21, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't delete the hebrew translation, but the script in latin letter "IM - YESH - GAN - EDEN". This information is not relevant to the english speakers who read the article and I afraid it wasn't encyclopedic. I also deleted the translation of the word 'HEAVEN' as 'garden of eden' becouse of the lack of relevance to the english name 'Beaufort'. Danny-w (talk) 11:01, 30 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plot of Beaufort (novel)

I've deleted the Plot summary you added to the Beaufort (novel) page. It would be acceptable if edited into encyclopedic language, but certainly not to cut&paste verbatim from a review that's already provided as an external link. The page does need expanding (and I've placed a Template for that). -- Deborahjay (talk) 23:41, 29 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ezra Nawi

Hi, I noticed (via Google translate!) that you commented on the Ezra Nawi page that he was convicted of sex with a minor in 1992, and you stated the youth was 17 years old. It is currently being widely reported in Ireland that he was 15, though there are no sources that I can see to support this. If you could provide me with any links in Hebrew that state the age of the Palestinian youth, or can shed any light on this I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance! Cripipper (talk) 00:56, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I heard it when I talked with friends during a discussion. I don't have written sources. Therefore I didn't write it in the article itself. I'll try to ask this friend about written sources. :-) Danny. Danny-w (talk) 21:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:TheStranger BookCover3.jpg. 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. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Speedy deletion nomination of ISCAR Metalworking

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on ISCAR Metalworking, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

A tag has been placed on Category:Duch businesspeople requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Proposed deletion of Gilad Kahana

The article Gilad Kahana has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Never really been referenced since it was created. Two reference present, 1 is an persons own site, the other is his older site. No coverage. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. No social media, nothing of significant on streaming sites. Less than 1600 subscribers on Youtube.

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. scope_creep^Talk 10:41, 10 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on World Social Work Day requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.ifsw.org/history-world-social-work-day. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Hi. I deleted from the article everything that could be suspected of being copied. The text that remains there is original. (Part of it is even taken from the articke "Social Work" in Wikipedia. Currently there is no coppied text there. Danny-w (talk) 16:16, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you copy text from other wikipedia articles, you must attribute per WP:CWW because Wikipedia's licensing requires attribution.

I'm glad that the infringing text from an external website was deleted, and it's essential not to do that in the future because copyright is taken very seriously on this site for legal reasons. (t · c) buidhe 16:29, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
