[edit] License tagging for Image:Audrey De Montigny BMG 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Audrey De Montigny BMG 1.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:04, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alexz Johnson
Hi, I've been going through your edits in the Alexz Johnson article and I just wanted to point out a few things. First, names of television shows, movies, magazines, and books should be in italics. Secondly, the commentary that you put in the articles, such as things like "I plan on expanding this section later", shouldn't go in the article. If you want to mention that you're still working on the article, please do that on the talk page for the article. If you fix these things then it gives other editors less work because they don't have to kind of go in after you and "clean up" the things that need fixing. Otherwise, the article looks a lot better.

[edit] Alexz Johnson article
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner... As for the vandalism, the simplest way to deal with vandalism is to revert the article to its former state. For repeated cases of vandalism, you may want to start reading up on it at Wikipedia:Vandalism and go from there. Dismas|(talk) 22:31, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
- You're most welcome. Dismas|(talk) 11:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
- Well, after looking at 69.119.119.178's block log entry it seems they were blocked on 4 December and there aren't any edits since the block. It would seem that they are indeed blocked. I'm not sure what you're seeing that makes you think that they are getting around the ban. I'm not an admin so I have just as many tools at my disposal as you do. The only thing I could suggest is you start reading through the vandalism pages such as Wikipedia:Long term abuse. Hope this helps, Dismas|(talk) 21:40, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
JD Fan, I found your complaint about 69.119.119.178 on S. Ewart's talk page. The topic just above "Signpost" on that page might interest you, "Sock accusation and IP vandal," where we were talking about the same vandal. I agree that a longer ban is in order. He's apparently a boy of 13 who not only acts as a vandalism factory but maintains an article about himself that reveals entirely too much information about his family, enough to raise concerns about safety. His article is supposed to have been deleted but hasn't been. The discussion continues on my talk page. Cognita 02:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
I extended the block to 6 months. Hope that helps settle some frazzled nerves. :) Sarah Ewart 03:49, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Instant Star interview
Saw you're a fan of Alexz, thought you might be able to help. I've organized an interview with Tyler Kyte from the show (he's Vincent Spiederman), and I'm trying to figure out some questions to ask. If you've got any ideas, give me a shout at user talk:zanimum. -- Zanimum 20:54, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
- Cool stuff! Eagerly awaiting questions, Zanimum 21:47, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Alana Grace
I have reverted the edit you made to this article to discuss the proposed deletion template I added because it was content that was not suitable for the article space. I have moved the comment to the talk space.
I will not remove the proposed deletion template. You are welcome to do so, as the template explains. Be aware that it is likely that I will nominate the article for deletion pursuant to the WP:AFD policy if you do so and if I conduct a closer review that leads me to believe the WP:MUSIC criteria is not met. Listens on MySpace.com are not a criteria under that standard. I do invite you to reivew that guideline and point out anything you are aware of that tends to make her notable. My concern is appropriateness for Wikipedia at this point, not in the future.
If you have any questions about any of this, please feel free to ask. I'm definitely open for discussion, and that is why it takes a period of 5 days or more to delete much of the content that might not be suitable. Erechtheus 02:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you for your response. I'm not really inclined to believe that MySpace listens is something that should be considered as potentially notable. It also sounds like you are not aware of any specific criteria Ms. Grace may meet. At this point, I can only suggest that you're welcome to remove the proposed deletion template and that I may or may not nominate the article for deletion. If that happens, we'll see what the broader community thinks about the suitability for Wikipedia. Erechtheus 23:24, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
