[edit] Non-free photos of bands

Hello again. I've put some thoughts together at User:Quadell/non-free photos of bands about whether (and when) non-free photos of bands are replaceable. If you have an opinion and want to weigh in, I'd value your input. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (random) 20:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jean Genie images

G'day Fritz. Per your message re. Image:JeanGenie6.jpg, yes pls delete it, been superceded with a new image/file (had tried to just update this file with a new image but for some reason it refused to show up in the relevant article so ended up creating a new file - some glitch). Cheers, Ian Rose 10:56, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:JoseCarrerasCDMalinconia.jpg)

This image is not orphaned. It is used in the article on José Carreras. I have added this information and a link to the artcle to the image file page for this photo. Please do not delete. Best, Voceditenore 08:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:JoseCarrerasCD1.jpg)

This is a previous version used in the article José Carreras and can be deleted. Best, Voceditenore 08:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carly Hennessy

Hey dude, I found this awesome article on Carly Hennessy and thought we could use it to beef up her page a little. What do you think? M.C. Brown Shoes 10:16, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Am I missing something on policy?

On the 26th you tagged Image:Issus01.JPG as 'orphaned Fair use', but I'm trying to figure out why you didn't go directly to {{Copyvio}}. Even if by some means it was valid fair use (? How???), it can certainly be duplicated since the intelligence contained is 'just text information'... like our article on same.

So as I understand these things, unless it was used in an article about ENCARTA, it is strictly copyvio, even used in an article about Issus or the various historic battles around there. (I found it mis-linked in Third battle of Issus under see also.)

I've asked Sherool to speedy delete it. Best regards // FrankB 16:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

you
I didn't check the actual content of the image, just noticed that it was an unused fair use image and tagged it that way. Plus, this is usually less time-consuming than copyvio, since you only have to tag the image and inform the uploader, and usually has the same effect in the end. Also, I'm not really sure the image qualifies as a copyright violation... --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 17:22, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Don't see how it can't be anything but a copyvio--ECARTA is copyrighted by copyright crazy Microsoft. If there is a single company who might complain about infringement, imho, it would likely be them with their record on the issue.

    Since when was doing the job right a casualty to a job being time consuming? We all get such munificent salaries for the work, after all! (<BSEG>) Regards // FrankB 18:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
As you said, use of the image in the Encarta article might be valid under fair use, and since it's properly sourced I don't think it's necessary a copyvio per se. Either way, I wouldn't really say tagging it as orphaned fair use was doing the job wrong, after all, it definitely is an unused fair use image, and why should I start a discussion about it being a copyvio when it can/should be deleted as orphaned fair use anyway? We don't take articles through AfDs when they qualify for speedy deletion, either, do we? --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 18:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Xpost, finis?
So sorry if you took that as critical, as I'm the first to admit the archane procedures involving image tagging and discussion, et. al. are fuzzy at best between my ears. I need to bite my fingers or tounge or something once in a while!

While I know there has been a recent change in fair-use policy, and have seen one clear case of 'clear legal fair use' summarily speedy deleted since it was something which could be replaced, and that action overtly supported by Jimbo himself, (I know, since we debated same by email too), this seems to be a case that is far less justifiable than that case which I argued should be kept. Hence the speedy recommendation to Sherool, who is my image resource specialist when I smell something, or don't know myself.

I've also been very missing from wp in the past several months, so I'm very out of touch as well.

However, to me logically, if that could happen to a legal and justifiable incidence of fair use, it should apply as a square power to a non-legal copy. (IMHO, as I understand fair use in this case, unless the image is illustrating an article on ENCARTA itself, it would not be an occasion of fair use, at all.)

Since this one was added by a three edit wonder, and specifically mislinked by the same inexperienced somewhat editor specifically on the town of Issus and Battles thereabouts, I feel fairly secure in asserting it wasn't for an article on ENCARTA! Think that beats this discussion to death. Sorry if you took that badly, I'll bite myself somewhere! <G> Best regards // FrankB 19:30, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Doing something about the ridiculous date autoformatting/linking mess

Dear Fritz—you may be interested in putting your name to, or at least commenting on this new push to get the developers to create a parallel syntax that separates autoformatting and linking functions. IMV, it would go a long way towards fixing the untidy blueing of trivial chronological items, and would probably calm the nastiness between the anti- and pro-linking factions in the project. The proposal is to retain the existing function, to reduce the risk of objection from pro-linkers. Tony 14:56, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Power Rangers userbox images

when you said the images, do you mean for the helmets, coins, or both. If it is coins I will have you know that the image that I got for the coins I got on Wikipedia from Power Coin. If it is from the helmets well then i will just upload the image on the articles(even though at least one of them are on this site, (I just cropped them to look better on the user box, IE: Image:Originalblue.jpg)

Could you please put your reply on my talk page, so I can store it for later?

PS: What took you so long, I thought an admin would talk to me about this right when I put them up. Not that I thought anything was wrong with them, just well no offense I can see why you all(all being admins) are like this, but you all are a bit picky about everything.Phoenix741 22:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Note:I noticed that Image:YellowHelment.jpg was not taged, did you just miss it, or is there something alright with it? I would like to know so that i can change the other helments so that they will work. Phoenix741 00:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This is the REAL Stefan Faison

I decided to do a little name-search on myself just to see what comes up and i see a bunch of results coming to Wikipedia. Moslty about movies that I'm not even in. So, I decided to search a more around Wikipedia to see what else I cna find. Heres what I found: Some random girl coming on here saying shes my sister and positng that I'm in this unknown movie called Nancy Drew. But, one thing that "hoaxer" (as you guys called her/him) said that was true was that I'm going to be in the movie Prom Wars directed by Phil Price, which was filmed in Montreal. I'm also going to be in another Canada-based TV-show named "Victor" with Dillon Casey, and Drillbit Taylor with Owen Wilson. Now to answer the question that has been flying around: Do I belong on Wikipedia? In my opinion, I think I should, but others may think different because my movies havent come out yet. I'm not claiming to be a huge super star, but I think someone who has done notable work (like commercials for Old Navy and a grad. from John Robert Powers) should have an article...or atleast a stub of an article. I think if a reality show contestant can have some sort of spot on Wikipedia, I think someone like me (who has been working in the entertainment business almost my entire life) should have an article. It's your decison to make. I just apologize for the person that came on here.

I had a discussion with him on Talk:Stefan Faison (now speedied along with the article as db-repost). I don't buy a word of it. After all, three separate user names have created this material in the past; no reason to believe this one's different. There are now more credits in "upcoming" films on IMDB, but IMDB posts disclaimers on those films that the information is subject to change, i.e. not reliable. Regardless, the article may not be recreated without a Deletion Review, and the two AFD's (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stefan Faison and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prom Wars) are still binding, and established firmly that IMDB is not, by itself, sufficient verification. Google search for "Prom Wars" +Faison brings up only IMDB and my Talk page. The information is dubious at best. The casts of teenage sex comedies tend to be twenty or so. If a 13 or 14-year-old is in the movie (the articles have been inconsistent with IMDB on the age), it would likely be a bit part as somebody's little brother. Fan-1967 14:42, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I'll keep an eye on Deletion Review, but I doubt he/she will try it. Positively guaranteed to get shot down. Nice work in finding the posting from Phil Price. That clinches it for me (as if I needed any convincing). Fan-1967 15:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
