[edit] Year navigation in academy awards
Hi ACupOfCoffe, I have traced the addition of the big year navigation template of the academy awards to you (March 6th). The fact that the award for films of a certain year is awarded in the next year is often confusing. However the header of the navigation states "award ceremonies", whereas the years linked refer to the year of films honored. Either the header should be changed or some note should be added. I have been doing large scale updating in the years in film (as in 1985 in film) and have been adding awards and making things more consistent through the years. Golden Globe also partially uses such a navigation and I intend to apply it to all the award years too. So this is a point that has to be made very clear, or there is bound to be confusion. Please, let me know what you think is best to do. Hoverfish 19:22, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
- I don't have mush of an interest in those pages, so I'd suggest asking on those talk pages. If I had to pick one, I'd say change the header. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 23:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Ok, thank you anyway. Hoverfish 08:55, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I have 30-second .ogg audio clips -- but what should I select for licensing?
Hello there, ACupOfCoffee. I am working on an A-class article of an Indian music composer (Ilaiyaraaja). I have recorded 30 second audio clips of this musician's songs in .ogg format, to include on his Wiki as sound samples (the Michael Jackson page does it). Now, my question is this: when I upload it onto the Wikipedia Commons, what sort of licensing should I select, since these are 30-second audio clips that I had created based on this musician's songs? I have read the fair use guide on Wikipedia[[1]]. I know that I may have to provide 'fair use rationale' for putting these audio clips are, thats no problem. But I just want to know if I could go ahead and do it now or do I need to get permission from the musician or his record company first? Would appreciate some guidance as I'm totally clueless on the procedure, especially since there is a lot of fuss about free use/fair use. Cheers, AppleJuggler 05:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Fair use isn't allowed on Commons, but for uploading it here, I would tag it them just like the Michael Jackson ones with {{Music sample}}. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 23:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Abe Vigoda.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Abe Vigoda.jpg. The image description 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.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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 fair use images 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.
