RE: First French Empire

I don't see why not. Would it be considered part of the Empire proper or a satellite state (I'm thinking the latter since, according to the English Wikipedia it was never annexed by France). Alphathon /'æɫfə.θɒn/ ^(talk) 01:02, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

The Septinsular Republic has now been added to the map. Alphathon /'æɫfə.θɒn/ ^(talk) 00:29, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

Deletion request

Hi,

I see that you created 3 deletion requests recenlty. That's good, we always need more people checking the files on Commons. That said, could you be a bit more thorough when describing the problem. Your rationale could use some improvements.

Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 09:16, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

@VIGNERON: I'm happy to provide fuller rationales if you could point out what is missing. Thanks, --Macrakis (talk) 20:40, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

It's not just "fuller" but also "better". The current rationale are not really bad but clearly you could have looked a bit more into it. For Commons:Deletion requests/File:Thule AB, Greenland (27256278029).jpeg you said « stolen » from a website that says that the image is free, clearly you didn't even read the source and for Commons:Deletion requests/File:Parallel universe.jpg you said "from Alamy according to BBC" without doing the most basic check to look at Alamy. As I said, it's not really wrong but it makes the closure of the RD a bit more difficult and lenghty. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 08:34, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Answer to your answer on my talk page. Cheers, VIGNERON (talk) 07:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
