Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Screenshot from a movie about Mussorgsky1950.png

edit

Thank you for uploading File:Screenshot from a movie about Mussorgsky1950.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. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 01:00, 11 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Hi Tintin-tintine! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Modest Mussorgsky that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia  it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 14:55, 13 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions, but in one of your recent edits to Abortion in Russia, it appears that you have added original research, which is against Wikipedia's policies. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. Thank you. Wikiacc () 23:42, 24 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Karevo (Pskov Oblast) moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Karevo (Pskov Oblast), does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Compromised account?

edit

It says retired user but I just had to remove a bunch of strange individual templates from the bottom of tournament article. That's not a good place imho for individual templates. Fyunck(click) (talk) 18:28, 21 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

edit

It seems I keep finding other player templates on the bottom of tennis players. I see no reasoning in prose for why the template was added. If they partnered a few times that's not good enough. I can see it if they were a long-term coach, and obviously if the players are sisters like the Williams'. But Federer is not a related article with Hingis. Yeah they played Hopman Cup once together. That is no reason to include those templates. Some players have played with dozens of different doubles partners and we aren't going to add each partner to the page bottom.

Color problem with templates

edit

I see you are working on many tennis templates, which is fine and dandy. There is a big issue of color use on almost all of them, and has been for quite awhile. Per Wikipedia Guidelines for accessibility you cannot use color as the only means of defining a parameter. Those with color vision issues can't see it. When you define color to a court surface, and color a cell to that color, it is against guidelines. It either needs to be removed or another way needs to be found to show what the surface is other than color. A symbol or something. I'm not sure what to do. But eventually the accessibility folks will see these charts and raise a ruckus. Fyunck(click) (talk) 08:32, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

And the background color should be uniform for every player. Right now it seems to be on a whim. Bring this template issue to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tennis to get more eyes on updating these templates. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:31, 2 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
No, I'm not bringing it anywhere. Category talk:Tennis player navigational boxes description for those who are not done with contributing to tennis in general. It seems like nobody cared about it until "the enemy" tried to fix it. My really last edit. Enjoy your world, guardian. Farewell.Tintin-tintine (talk) 21:55, 2 September 2021 (UTC)Reply
No problem then. Don't know who the enemy is, most looked fine, but we need uniformity in colors, and we can't bring in templates that color-blind people can't see. Fyunck(click) (talk) 22:00, 2 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Clutter in Tennis in Russia

edit

Hi, thank you for expanding Tennis in Russia. I'd like to ask you to remove all the icons that clutter the tables. We don't need them. We need to keep an encyclopaedic presentation style, not a social media style or signboard style. Icons make text barely legible and violate accessibility guidelines.

I tried to remove them myself, however it's relatively difficult without going one by one. I'm sure you can get it done faster.

The violated guidelines include MOS:DECOR (Icons should serve an encyclopedic purpose and not merely be decorative), MOS:ACCIM (A page should have no more than 100 images (regardless of how small); Avoid sandwiching text between two images), MOS:XMASTREE (When icons are added excessively, they clutter the page and become redundant), and perhaps others.
