James Blunt - Trivia
[edit]Hi RomeW - I too am from Toronto and know the story of Jane Creba; certainly it was a terrible loss. Having said that, her listening to "Goodbye My Lover" a great deal in the period before her death isn't particularly exceptional. I have heard many stories from all over the English-speaking world where that song was important to a recently deceased person. If the song is to be mentioned in the same breath as a death, I would suggest that the death of the Quebec police officer is more appropriate; that time, an extended clip of the song, being played at her funeral, was broadcast on national television news. I'm also concerned that your chosen title seems to, well, trivialize Jane's death.
There seem to be some pretty heavy hitters watching this article (it's been subject to recurrent vandalism), so I thought I'd mention my thoughts on your own talk page rather than the one for the article. I won't make any edits at this point, but will watch to see if anyone else does, or if anyone starts to add truly trivial information; if that happens, then I think it would be best if this serious piece of information is either moved or removed. I'll look forward to your thoughts. Risker 06:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- I thought it might be interesting, for good or ill, because even though it's an unfortunate event, it is nevertheless James Blunt-related. To be honest, I knew that "Goodbye My Lover" was used in her memorial at her high school too, but I couldn't find a link for that. Also, if you do a search for "James Blunt" and "Jane Creba" you're going to get quite a few hits, especially from the big hitters like CTV and Canada.com (CanWest Global)- people made a big deal about it.
- Nevertheless, I am aware that it's not *entirely* exceptional, but not knowing that much about Blunt, I knew of no other instance of where "Goodbye My Lover" was the song of choice of a recently deceased person, hence the only reason why Creba was highlighted. Perhaps my trivia note would be better expanded to include those other references, not just Creba, because then that would be exceptional.-RomeW 07:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- How about adding this to the article on the song itself? (Sorry was sleep-keyboarding last night, should have thought of it then.) Here is a reference article to help, which was posted on a message board but is a scan of an actual newspaper article: http://bluntygirl.proboards43.com/index.cgi?board=news&action=display&thread=1131397851 Also, the police officer killed in Montreal was named Valerie Gignac. That would probably make more sense overall. Perhaps a better heading would be "Funerals" or something to that effect. Risker 14:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC) Sorry, here is a link confirming the playing of the song at Gignac's funeral. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/story.html?id=36c8a1fe-b86b-4150-ba76-6801a9bb6e27&k=72933 Risker 14:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks. I added both to the trivia section. Let me know what you think- I think it looks better now. -RomeW 23:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:MarkusNaslund.gif
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:MarkusNaslund.gif. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Khatru2 09:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:YorkLions.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:YorkLions.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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.BetacommandBot 11:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Juventus
[edit]The thing is we're trying to keep "The "Calciopoli" scandal" section trimmed down as possible with just the essentials, so it can pass a good article review without too much recentism. I mean four, big hefty paragaphs on it while the whole decade before has around about the same ammount of information is too much, expanding even more probably isn't a good idea. The reaction to Inter and the subsequent Telecom Italia scandal is sourced by people like Channel 4, and even Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has stated its essential for Juve to beat Inter next season because of this.
Names like Ibrahimovic aren't essential to the history of the club, so we don't need to be too specific with players like that. While Cannavaro a World Cup winning captain is, if you can think of a way to incorporate how it was seen as harsh towards Juventus to be relegated while non of the others were then feel free, but as I said the article is already longer than it is supposed to be so it says "This page is 69 kilobytes (kibibytes) long." at the top - The Daddy 09:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Ice Hockey August 2007 Newsletter
[edit]|
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear RomeW! You are receiving this newsletter because you have signed up as a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey. The purpose of this newsletter is to update on the goings on of the project, as there have been major changes, and a lot of new recognized content in the past few weeks. If you are an inactive user, you probably won't recognize the new and improved state of the WikiProject! From the project, Maxim. New recognized content By Maxim
Article Improvement By Maxim Upon some discussion on the WikiProject talk page, the Article Improvement Drive page was revamped by Krm500 and Maxim. It was renamed Wikipedia:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Article Improvement, and it includes two section. The first section is called articles in dire need of improvement. It list articles, usually important, that are in very poor shape. The second section is called requested help. Users list an article they request help improving a certain article, which will facilitate collaboration, which is the aim of any WikiProject. There is one article currently listed there, Henrik Lundqvist, here. The goal is to at least get it to Good article status. Diacritics By Maxim In the past few weeks, there has been quite heated discussion about the use of diacritics in article name. The current guideline is using diacritics in the pages of articles of all player names which require them, but redirects are exempt. Task forces By Maxim This task force was initiated by Krm500. Its current goal is to improve Henrik Lundqvist to Good or Featured article status. It covers all Swedish clubs, leagues and competitions and associated articles, players and coaches that are Swedish, or have played/coached for a Swedish club, and arenas in Sweden. They plan to eventually operate as a sort of a sub-project, which will have its own articles for creation, ranking importance and quality of articles, and co-ordinate article improvement. Its current members are Krm500, Bamsefar75, and CLAES. This task force was initiated by Bsroiaadn. Its goal is to improve New Jersey Devils to Featured Topic status. Although it currently meets the required article count, the task force wishes to improve it further. Its area of coverage is very similar to the Sweden Ice Hockey task force. Its members are Bsroiaadn, JHMM13, FutureNJGov, Sportskido8, Michael Greiner, JRWalko, and Soxrock. Requested Images By Maxim

WikiProject Ice Hockey newsletter
[edit]|
WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter Dear RomeW! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been more new thing going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in August, there's been great changes. Read on to find out! Maxim(talk) This just in:
New recognized content By Maxim Especially due to the featured topic drive, there have been many new featured lists promoted concerning NHL awards. Here's the full list of all the 13 FL's promoted since the last newsletter.[1][2]
There have been no new good articles or featured articles. Maurice 'Rocket' Richard Trophy has been given A-Class status due to multiple issues raised at FLC.
Did You Know? By Maxim
Featured Topic Drive By Maxim Started by User:Scorpion0422, the aim of this drive is to make NHL awards a featured topic. A featured topic is basically a set of very high quality articles (good articles and featured articles/lists). In this case, the topic is NHL awards. Many users have helped, including Scorpion0422, Resolute, Serte, Hasek is the best, Maxim, Croat Canuck, Spike Wilbury, FutureNJGov, and T Rex/Dinosaur puppy. The progress has been very good; there are 12 featured lists promoted, and 2 good articles:
Check the project page if you are interested in helping out. Although it's closer to being done than not, there's still work to be done. The next topic that might be tackled is Stanley Cup, but this remains purely speculative and in discussion. |

Roughly four years ago....
[edit]You made this edit to the Jehu article (technically, you made this edit, and the previous user made this edit, but that's obviously some sort of glitch).
In particular, I'm interested in the following sentence:
- "Some scholars have suggested that "Jehu" is a nickname for "Joram", but this claim is seen as fallicious by other scholars since it would not make sense for a nickname to be so similar to the theophoric element of a name that it would be almost indistinguishable."
Do you have a source for either part of that (either the "some scholars" who suggest or the "other scholars" who dispute)?
There's no particular urgency, but its bound to be removed from the article by someone now that I've mentioned it, unless a source can be cited for it.
I'm not saying that I dispute the first part, as I vaguely recollect reading that somewhere else (although I might be mistaken, and would definitely like some confirmation either way). But I haven't seen the second part of that before.
If you do have a source for it, can you add the reference into the article - use ref tags (<ref>put reference here and it turns into a footnote</ref>). Could you also then leave a note on my page?
Thanks. Newman Luke (talk) 23:33, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
- Ok, your source sounds to me to be fairly reliable. But Wikipedia requires it to be published. A lecture just won't do, I'm afraid (unless the transcript is published - and then it would be the transcript not the lecture that would be the source). Can you get him to write it down and publish it somewhere? Or maybe you can ask the lecturer where he got the info from (as your user page implies you are still at uni)? Or maybe you can ask him if he has already written it in a book somewhere? Newman Luke (talk) 13:07, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
