"Minor" edits

Please be careful to not mark edits as minor unless they really are minor. Examples of minor edits would be correcting spelling errors, changing type from regular to boldface, etc. Changing the meaning of anything, adding or removing information, is not minor. --Gerry Ashton 17:30, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

They appear by default in the editions. I am going to pay attention to it. Regards.--Mac 06:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

You may need to go to my preferences -> editing and uncheck the Mark all edits minor by default box. Captain Zyrain 17:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Mitsubishi i-EV

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Mitsubishi i-EV, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.autobloggreen.com/2007/09/28/mitsubishis-i-ev-moving-towards-production-available-perhaps-i. 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 19:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

UNPA

I am happy to see you have taken an interest in the United Nations Parliamentary Assembly article. My hope is that we can improve it enough to get it to Featured Article status (see Misplaced Pages:Featured article candidates.) We should try to get permission from Andreas Bummel to include the proposed UNPA flag (the one with parliamentary benches). Captain Zyrain 20:09, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

I am ready to help to improve this article. Where can we contact him ?. (If you want, you can send me an email). I belive IPU would obtain a UN General Assembly subsidiary organ status. Regards.--Mac 20:14, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Email

Here is the answer:

Hello,

Mr. Bummel forwarded your request to me. You are welcome to use the proposed design of a UNPA logo and flag on Misplaced Pages. Please credit me with the design.

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Petroleum dependence

I've nominated an article you've contributed a number of times to for deletion. Discussion is the link above. -Theanphibian 23:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I understand now, when you have built almost all of the articles for German, French, and Japanese nuclear plants. How happy are electric companies and employes about nuclear power. But, people says nuclear (power and residues) ? no, thanks. --Mac 16:54, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

This subject is covered in the appropriate place. -Theanphibian 08:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

In the anti-nuclear movement article, without NPOV. --Mac 07:08, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

List of LPG cars

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article List of LPG cars, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}.

It is proposed (not by me) that this article be deleted because of the following concern:

As stated in the discussion, this list is pointless as virtually all cars can be converted to run on LPG. If there must be a list one of "cars not capable of running on LPG" would be more useful.

Well deleted. Mac 18:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Anti-nuclear movement

Can you upload your image of "nuclear-no-thanks" as a low resolution fair use image to the English[REDACTED] for use in the anti-nuclear movement article? Fair use doesn't exist on the commons. Cheapthrill 19:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Uploaded to Image:Englishsm.gif . --Mac 06:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Englishsm.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Englishsm.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 18:25, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Climate ethics

Climate ethics has been nominated for deletion. The problem is that right now the article is all based on information from one organisation. I think the topic is important, however. I've tried to fix the article up it up a bit. I've put in some external links pointing to potential source information. It needs quite a bit of work to make it balanced. Not too many people have added material to the article. You're one. I thought I'd let you know. La la ooh 15 November 2007 —Preceding comment was added at 00:23, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Climate ethics is not one organization´s matter. I know organizations in Europe that ask for climate justice or ethics. And ethical banking also includes climate justice. I am going to try to improve the article, but the concept is there. As the concept of climate crime or inaction, a type of environmental crime. Thank you for the information.--Mac 07:04, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gcoy2008.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gcoy2008.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Bi-Fuel redirect

Hi Mac,

I just added article about bi-fuel conversions of generator sets and I think that your redirection of Bi-fuel only to Vehicles is not necessary. Should I edit the page and add link to my article as well?

Thanks Oupi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oupi (talk • contribs) 15:19, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

For sure, you can. --Mac (talk) 09:01, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Help

See User_talk:SandyGeorgia#UNPA_FAC. We are on the verge of getting article to FA status (just need to fix citations) but I just broke my arm today and typing is rather slow. Do you think you can help? Thanks, Sarsaparilla (talk) 03:25, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Spam in KPlato

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on KPlato, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because KPlato is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting KPlato, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
