Athelete biographies particarly sailing together with general sailing linked to competitive sailing. I have a background in Naval Architecture and hope my contributions help preserve sailing legacy
Hi there
Thanks for the recent updates of Swan articles. Keep up the good work.

Yes it's very true that the text added to the articles tend to be somewhat biased which is why I have tried to keep the content that I have gathered so far (especially for 36 and 65) as neutral and encylopedic as possible. For 65 and especially for Sayula II there is about to be a lot more information available as The Weekend Sailor movie becomes public. I am currently involved with marketing of the film but I haven't found the time to open a Wikipedia article for it yet. ClubSwan50 is also a boat which deserves a well made article of it's own and if I have chance I'm trying to shoot some photos of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sami P.

Hi. You created the International Radio Sailing Association article; would you be able to add a definition of "radio sailing" to that article? JanCeuleers ( talk) 07:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

The article has been assessed as Start-Class, which is recorded on its talk page. Most new articles start out 1991 IFMAR 1:10 Electric Off-Road World Championships has been accepted == Draft:1985 IFMAR 1:10 Electric Off-Road World Championships 1995 IFMAR 1:10 Electric Off-Road World Championships (July 11) ==
I appreciate that you want to include these championships on this page, but this information has been now removed twice as being unsourced and it is still unsourced. The policy on this is pretty clear:
In the English Wikipedia, verifiability means other people using the encyclopedia can check that the information comes from a reliable source. Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of editors. Even if you are sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it ... All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed ... All content must be verifiable. The burden to demonstrate verifiability lies with the editor who adds or restores material ...Any material lacking a reliable source directly supporting it may be removed and should not be restored without an inline citation to a reliable source.
You can't keep putting unsourced information back into articles. I am happy to give you a couple of days to find sources for all these championships, but if no sources exist then it must be removed. - Ahunt ( talk) 16:24, 13 January 2021 (UTC)

02:00, 16 December 2023 (UTC)By repeatedly adding non-free images to Template:Yachtclub, you repeatedly introduced violations of the non-free content policy (8 and 10c) into multiple articles. — JJMC89 ( T· C) 02:01, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I genuinely do not understand the policies and the ability of one user to block my account without consultation or reason. If someone can explain to me why using a logo within a "logo" template for what is effectively is a member clubs so no real commercial issues which is done for literally over 100 other identical organization contained within the template. Take a look at List of yacht clubs to see the template use. I am no copyright expert if the organisation has expressed an objection delete the logo. Don't block a user with over 10 years and 10k contribution on this particular topic.
Decline reason:
As you admittedly don't understand WP:FAIRUSE, we have to leave you blocked. It's quite disturbing that you think we should wait until an organisation files an objection. Yamla ( talk) 12:07, 16 December 2023 (UTC)

Request reason:
I decline the reason simply because it hasn't been explained or answered why? I haven't seen any compliants or reasons that the use of the image in this way is against policies apart from the small print on the upload page and thats says you can use it as a "deriative" which this is. It is only used in context with a page link by default and I have only seen the "yachtclub" template on sailors who are members or events they have held and never in a negative way. Why would this ever likely to cause any form of copyright issues when used on an open source website like wikipedia. While I have read the policies linked by the administrator I am not really sure what has been broken and no explanation over why similar images used in context is ok in over 100 cases. Wikipedia could limit the logo useage to one page and it could flag up small print when editing it appears to only flag to administrators with no interest in the subject. I simply went down the list yacht club and looked which one had logo uploaded but missing innocently. Personally I think the kind of logo used in infobox should be on wikimedia and not accepted on these terms. I did not create the template or initially populate. The only thing I didn't do is not check the user who made what looked liked a negative contribution.
As an active member of wiki saiing project and also a contributor to wikidata. The lack of gratitude in users contribution is disappointing by the moderators. I simply do sailing related edits 8n an increasingly collaborative way. Yachty4000 ( talk) 13:32, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Since by your own admission you are not sure what "has been broken", you will have to remain blocked to protect Wikipedia from the risk of your further violations. It's unfortunate that we will have to go without your contributions until you show an understanding of the issues here. 331dot ( talk) 21:36, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

I haven't seen any compliants-> Did you not see JJMC89 remove the images the first time before you reinstated your edits? You must have known that the images had somehow been removed, it would have been logical to figure out how/why that had happened before re-adding them
Why would this ever likely to cause any form of copyright issues when used on an open source website like wikipedia?- You're right that it probably wouldn't, but Wikipedia's rules for non-free content are deliberately " more narrowly defined [...] than [...] the fair use provisions in United States copyright law", so whether something would cause real-world copyright issues is mostly irrelevant.
I am not really sure what has been broken-> The specific rule you broke is that you added images that Wikipedia considers to be non-free and thus only allowed to be used on specific articles to templates that caused them to be used on unrelated articles, and re-added them after they were removed.
why similar images used in context is ok in over 100 cases-> because those images are considered simple enough to not be copyrightable, and thus are not non-free and the rules I explained above don't apply at all.
Wikipedia could limit the logo useage to one page and it could flag up small print when editing it appears to only flag to administrators with no interest in the subjectYes, if Wikipedia had infinite administrative manpower it would make sense to add all non-free images to the MediaWiki:Bad image list and require each use to be listed as an exception there. But we don't, so the current system of ad-hoc enforcement through bot actions in common cases, human review in special cases, and some violators being blocked will have to do. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:38, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for your contributions to ILCA Masters World Championships. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and it could use more third party and independent sourcing to establish notability and some context.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.
Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Andre 🚐 09:42, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
