User talk:Alekjds

Welcome to Alekjds's talk page. I will generally respond here to comments that are posted here, rather than replying via your talk page (or the article's talk page, if you are writing to me here about an article), so you may want to watch this page until you are responded to, or let me know where specifically you'd prefer the reply.

DYK for Casa Santa MariaEdit

On 26 December 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Casa Santa Maria, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Pope Pius XI ensured that the American College would get the property of a former convent where he used to serve Mass as a boy? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Casa Santa Maria. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Catholic-Hierarchy.orgEdit

Hello. I noticed that you have edited a number of articles on Catholicism. A discussion is taking place as to whether the website Catholic-Hierarchy.org is a reliable source that can be utilized on Wikipedia or whether all references and information derived from it should be deleted. This topic is currently being discussed at the Reliable Sources Noticeboard [1]. As the website's removal as a reference will affect several thousand Wikipedia articles, I believe that the broadest range of opinions should be obtained before action is taken. Please contribute if interested.Patapsco913 (talk) 22:07, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Patricia E. RyanEdit

Thanks for the review! But I don't understand how you intuit that there's no plagiarism because 10 sources were cited. I could have copied from all of them. There is a handy toolbox to the right of every nomination which includes tools like Earwig's and Duplicate Detector to check for close paraphrasing. Best, Yoninah (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out. I have replied on the nomination page, and I hope I made it clearer what I meant, since you're correct in saying that the number of sources cited doesn't in any way guarantee originality. — AJDS ^talk 21:52, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:AKAshield2.pngEdit

Thank you for uploading File:AKAshield2.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Where does your Saint Sabbas image come fromEdit

It says that the Saint Sabbas image comes from you and wikipedia originally, but I can't find a source besides that for its origin in the real world. All it says is that it's medieval. It's from an Eastern Christian, Eastern Orthodox tradition perhaps, but from where, what country, church, abbey, etc.? Was wondering if you knew, or if it's from the West or Eastern Catholic, and what year or decade/century it's from.

Proposed deletion of Martin BartelEdit

The article Martin Bartel has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Orphaned non-free image File:D'Youvilleseal.pngEdit

Thanks for uploading File:D'Youvilleseal.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. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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) 03:26, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
