Re Kennet Partners
Thanks for your help and good advice. I'm interested to join the Private Equity Task Force and to contribute more generally to this section. Can you let me know how to participate? Thanks. Yacout (talk) 13:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:GTCR logo.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:GTCR logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:14, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

a new PE article
Hi, Urbanrenewal
I have created an article about CIVC Partners, loosely basing it on Willis Stein & Partners. May you take a look? Feel free to edit, of course.

incoming links
Hi
I hope you are doing fine in these dog days. I want to share with you some trick if you don't know it. The goal is to creates new incoming links for your new articles. Do Google search in a separate window: "New Company" site:en.wikipedia.org Check results, and you will see how many new incoming links you can create! I like creating incoming links -- they fully incorporate articles into the web. As far as I remember, every article should have at least three incoming and three outcoming links. It is easy to create outcoming links, but incoming ones are hard to find.
I have created many incoming links for your articles.
Best regards, Lamro (talk) 07:34, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- That's helpful. Thanks.

Re:Flag Icons
All of these flagicons are merely being used as decoration in the infoboxes. The flagicons either add no encyclopedic value or I directly linked to WP:MOSFLAG#Help the reader rather than decorate for those infoboxes that already had a link to the country such as Goldman Sachs. In the case of Leonardo Pisculichi, I directly linked to WP:MOSFLAG#Not for use in locations of birth and death because flagicons are not to be used for locations of birth and death. The other infoboxes I linked to the general WP:MOSFLAG because they do not fit the appropriate use of a flagicon and I added a link to the country name so people know which country is being talked about.
You really should have waited for my response before undid all of my edits. In the future when you hit "undo" it states: "If you are undoing an edit that is not vandalism, explain the reason in the edit summary rather than using only the default message." Make sure you are leaving an edit summary so other editors know why you made those edits. Aspects (talk) 13:52, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- We are currently having a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(flags)#Use_of_flags_in_Infobox_Company if you would like to join in. Aspects (talk) 14:04, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

- Also you need to discuss potential changes to the Wikipedia:Manual of Style (flags) page on the Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(flags) talk page first before making the changes. Aspects (talk) 14:09, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Highland Capital Partners
Thanks for saving and developing the article! I started it because when I created incoming links for other private equity firms I saw links to nonexistant HCP so often that decided to create an article.
BTW, use my trick for incoming links -- it is really cool!
BR Lamro (talk) 21:18, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. I am happy to give you a little backup.
- By the way, you have a convert on the incoming links. I generally try to go through portfolio companies before i create the article but your method is much more thorough. Anyway, I have got to do some real work now and then I am signing off early (for the weekend, if I can). Have a good weekend. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 21:22, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Question
Saw your tag of Thomas H. Lee (engineering professor). His works are well known and well-respected in the engineering community, which a book published by Cambridge University Press attests. The article is in alignment with WP:PROF as far as I know. Can you explain why you tagged in terms of WP:PROF? Thank you in advance. --Firefly322 (talk) 17:45, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Thomas H. Lee (engineering professor)
- Do you have an aritcle that you've worked according to these guidelines, so I can understand how you are interpreting them? --Firefly322 (talk) 22:42, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
- I've add actual links to the google scholar citations. This let's a reader see the academic papers/books that are citing his books. The article is just a stub and it's not anywhere near the other Thomas H. Lee in terms of development, but I believe it does establish notability according to the prof. guidelines. --Firefly322 (talk) 00:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Urban. I see that you've been working on this article some more. And I think there's a different philosophy at work here. For example, the stub tag at the bottom of the article seemed adequate. The tags at the top seem redundant. The books and their number of times cited are enough to estabish the articles worth. I've really thought a lot about the guidlines and policies of wikipedia and I'm fairly confident that other editors either share my interpretations or find them acceptable. (e.g., comments from WP:3 requests and several other feedback sources). --Firefly322 (talk) 15:21, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
- I did make some additions because I am trying to be constructive. I still don't think he is particularly notable from the perspective of third party references. It would seem to me that just about any tenured professor would meet the standards you are suggesting. I am going to let others with more familiarity with the subject deal with it. It is still an orphaned article which is also sometimes a good indication that it is probably not a subject worthy of note. I would suggest looking for opportunities to link it the appropriate articles therefore giving it some additional context. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 15:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi UrbanRenewal. You removed the notability tag on the AltAssets article saying notability was established through "circulation, importance within industry and references used by other articles within Wikipedia". Could you provide some evidence of that so the article could be improved? At the moment the article only mentions one of the things you refer to (website visitors which I'm equating to circulation) and has no independent sourcing of that claim. Thanks. -- SiobhanHansa 01:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- The article may need additional refences but it is a stub. The lack of references does not impact its notability. I have knowledge more significant knowledge about PE than I do about newspapers, magazines and websites and would leave it to peaople with that expertise to try to expand the article further. A quick search on Wikipedia reveals that AltAssets is a source referenced in dozens of articles in the private equity and hedge fund space (including my own citations). A search of google will find AltAssets articles referenced in a host of different places. I have been looking for "references" that actually add to the article rather than just show the preponderance of sites that based their content on AltAssets. I think the notability is fairly easily established. |► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 02:46, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Urbanrenewal - I know you proposed several new stub types recently, but this and the UK equivalent were among them! I've listed these at WP:WSS/D - if you'd like to comment there, feel free. Grutness...wha? 04:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
Vestar
It is funny you say that. I've started creating the page with new references. We'll see how it goes.JakeH07 (talk) 01:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Template on Vestar
With that template on Vestar I mentioned, I'm honestely not sure what the problem is. I used it as I would any other template, but only the intro section of the article appeared. Also, you mentioned other references for Vestar Capital Partners, could you please send my a link for those on my talk page because I am having trouble finding them.JakeH07 (talk) 15:54, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry about that, I can't beleive I made such a stupid mistake and didn't notice it. I'm gonna be leaving in about a half hour to watch a football game, but when I get back (or before I leave) I'll look throught those articles. Thank you.JakeH07 (talk) 16:23, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Private equity firms in the United Kingdom
Hi
I was a little surprised to see that you have reverted all my edits down categorising UK PE firms, apparently without further discussion. I thought I had given a considered reply to your concerns on my talk page here. Did you reply to my comments elsewhere?Mhockey (talk) 15:21, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
- You shouldn't be surprised, my first comment was fairly clear about what I was planning to do. I just put a full explanation on your talk page. And looking at some of your other UK categories, if I were more involved with those areas, I would probably suggest consolidating the bulk of them.
|► ϋrbanяenewaℓ • TALK ◄| 15:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, you said: I would like to discuss before reverting and would like to get your input. I took that to mean that you would like to discuss, not just get my comments, before reverting. I have replied on my talk page, but suggested a discussion on the task force talk page to try and reach consensus. In the meantime, I am reverting just one article, so that the category is not deleted for being empty while the discussion is taking place.Mhockey (talk) 17:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Please update yourself on WP policies regarding Non-free content
Your recent edits re-adding non-free images that lack a rationale for the articles in which they were used is clearly in breach of WP guidelines that are in place to protect legal copyright. Please update yourself on this area before reverting with spurious edit summaries like "Acceptable fair use for this article" which is an assertion that has no basis in WP policies. You can start by reading the links provided in the nomination for deletion of the images which you voted to keep at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2008 September 8. __meco (talk) 09:01, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I commented on a couple of those images. However, I'm not very good with images, so in the future contact me more on things like POV changes and finding refs.JakeH07 (talk) 00:01, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
Non-free magazine covers
Your edits seem to show that you are not I want to be sure you are aware that Wikipedia has an official policy that strongly discourages use of non-free images (like magazine covers). All non-free images must comply with Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. These requirements are far more restrictive than U.S. fair use law. In particular:
- WP:NFCC#1 says “Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose” For a magazine cover this means among other things that a magazine cover cannot be used just to show that a person was featured on the cover. It would serve the same encyclopedic purpose to say in text that the person was featured on the cover.
- WP:NFCC#8 says “Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic.” A magazine cover use that meets this requirement is Image:OJ Simpson Newsweek TIME.png on Photo manipulation. Use of the image is needed for readers to understand the photo manipulation of the TIME cover. Except where a magazine cover is used for “identification” of the issue of the magazine in question, a strong rationale like this is required.
- WP:NFCC#10c says that there must be a non-free use rationale for each use. This is the reason why some of your covers have been removed from some of your articles.

Hi,
Sheer frustration to see that you have deleted a list of prominent JD/MBAs. I have spent hours creating it. I guess some of links got orphanned. Agree to have the list cleaned, leaving only those mentioned in other articles.
