Fair use rationale for Image:InfinitementPetit.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:InfinitementPetit.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. Rettetast (talk) 16:23, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

File source problem with File:InfinitementPetit.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:InfinitementPetit.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 28

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Corregidor Island, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Liberation (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your GA nomination of Astronomical unit

The article Astronomical unit you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Astronomical unit for reasons why the nomination failed.

Kőbánya cellar system GA

Hello, and sorry for the late reply! It seems like I didn't receive the notification immediately for your Kőbánya cellar system GA review, in addition to being busy lately.

You suggested that the lead section should be shorter, but I think that an article of such size deserves a lead that isn't only two-three sentences long. There are numerous examples for longer leads on Wikipedia where the subject matter is complex. Aside from that, I agree that there are too many citations in the article overall, they represent a "developing state" of the article where I tried to collect as many valid references as I could find, but I didn't found time to remove them yet. I do plan on cutting back to at most four or five references for a sentence.

Thank you for your time reviewing! Cheers.

--Rev L. Snowfox (talk) 19:13, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Rev L. Snowfox, the lead section (per MOS:LEADLENGTH) should be two or three paragraphs given the length of the article as a whole, but it should also be a summary rather than a complete repetition of certain parts of the body of the article, and it doesn't need the level of citation it currently has: only controversial facts or quotes need lead section citations providing the material is cited in the body of the article (see MOS:LEADCITE). So, for example, instead of giving all the various estimates for floor area and tunnel lengths, a single range for each should be sufficient. Some judicious trimming of what's there now is certainly in order. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:34, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Thank you for answering Rev L. Snowfox. You saved me time I don't have right now because of schoolwork.

@Rev L. Snowfox You didn't reply late. I was supposed to leave a message on your talk page. Sorry for that. I'll give you about a month (until 15/may) to correct any problems, by that time I will also, hopefully, have more free time.

Mdob (talk) 08:13, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Mdob, Rev L. Snowfox has posted to the review that the edits have been made to the article. I'm hoping, since it's after May 15, that you'll be able to return to the review soon. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:03, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

Bieberbach / Neves

Hello Mdob
Thank you for your kind comment on the language reference desk and for the barnstar. That was my first ever visit to the reference desk and my first ever barnstar.
I see you are a Portuguese speaker from Brazil. You might be be able to help me if you feel competent to verify a European Portuguese pronunciation. There is a Portuguese footballer, Rúben Neves, who currently plays in England and whose name is (I believe) often mispronounced there. So I recently added an IPA transcription to the article: Portuguese pronunciation: [nɛvʃ]. However, I have never learned Portuguese and it is only a guess based on general knowledge. Is my attempt close enough, do you think?
Keep up the good work.
