User talk:Locaracle

A tag has been placed on Ardecore, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Chris 20:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Response to "Angels"

A forum post on a random website would not be considered a reliable source. If you could point me to a dictionary entry, or something similar to that, that would be perfectly sufficient. Gromlakh (talk) 22:50, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assuming from your answer that English is not your first language. :)

There could be a translation issue going on here. "Angels" perhaps might be a term used to refer to an altitude in a language other than English. As in, possibly the French word for "angels" might also be used to describe a particular altitude. I do not believe the English term has that meaning, which is why I linked to the dictionary.com entry. I certainly believe you're acting in good faith here, but I think you might be mistaken (or perhaps the person who made that post on wordreference was mistaken) about the meaning of the word. Gromlakh (talk) 23:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is going to be with whether a forum post is going to be considered a reliable source. Under the Wikipedia guidelines, it's probably not going to be. The reason is that we have no way to verify who the person is who made that statement so we can evaluate their credibility. The other thing you need to think about is that the entry you made for "angels" wouldn't exactly be a good entry for Wikipedia anyway. It's more of a dictionary definition (e.g. "X word means Y"); that's more appropriately suited for our sister site Wiktionary. If you can find an English source (other than a forum post) backing up that definition, why not add it to Wiktionary? Gromlakh (talk) 23:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem. Good luck! Gromlakh (talk) 23:18, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would suggest maybe just starting a discussion on the page for "angel" or "angels" over there, post what you've got, and see what you can come up with. If that really is a term used to describe altitude, I would think there should be a dictionary or an info page about flying that should mention it somewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gromlakh (talk • contribs) 23:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rabia Kazan

Thanks for informing. I couldn't understand why you deleted the link to Licursi's conversion. Ironically, it was constituting the only sourced statement in the whole article. Behemoth (talk) 03:45, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You know that a there's an Islamic ban on Muslim women marrying non-Muslim men and there usually happens a more or less nominal conversion before marriage. News report was mentioning his alleged conversion but I later found Licursi's statement negating it. [1] If you are able to provide Italian sources about the marriage, we can enrich the article with a better balanced approach. Best regards. Behemoth (talk) 17:35, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Furthermore, Licursi's political stance remains obscure. He is mentioned as a 'communist' but it's not clear whether he was a member of PCI or he is currently a member of PRC, PdCI, etc. I'll be happy if you can indulge my curiosity in this field. Behemoth (talk) 17:41, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As you know, Turkey has a more or less secular system but majority of people (such as Rabia's family) are devout Muslims. Therefore, in practice, conversions usually happen. I remember a somewhat funny thing where a girl of Muslim heritage, though irreligious, married a guy of Roman Catholic background. He had a nominal conversion and then they got married in a church! As for the image of 'liberal Turkey', for me it is rapidly fading away.

I guess you had misinterpreted the news report. Licursi says that he didn't convert to Islam and never will, he won't have a circumcision and, furthermore, Rabia does not want it anyway.

Licursi's political affiliation doesn't have anything to do with the article. It was for me and from the beginning you seemed to know Rabia or Licursi in person, so I thought you could help. However, also in Turkish news I read that Rabia's family didn't approve of her marriage primarily because Licursi is a communist and they, on the other hand, are staunch Turkish nationalists and anti-communists. Ciao! Behemoth (talk) 21:46, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the link, I understand written Italian. Well, I'm Turkish and I studied law and anthropology at school. I don't know whether this background refers to a certain expertise. I re-edited the article and removed the 'unreferenced' tag. I guess I'll be able to add more references soon. Best regards. Behemoth (talk) 18:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Public domain and Nedor Comics

Hi

I'm not an expert, but the wikipedia article on public domain, trademark, and copyright would be the place to start. There is a wiki devoted to Public Domain Super Heroes at http://pdsh.wikia.com. If you look at the FAQ there, it will help you understand it a little better. Let me know if you need any help with finding it.
