Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia. About your comment on Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Andrew Zito: Anybody who can use a computer is allowed to edit Wikipedia. This means we get the whole spectrum of individuals. Andrew Zito is one of the (personal opinion) weirder ones, and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Andrew Zito is our way to deal with such very difficult users. Luckily, most disputes are solved in a more cooperative manner by discussing it on the talk pages. Overall, it works quite well, and in many controversial topics we were able to achieve a good compromise. You are very welcome to contribute to wikipedia. If you can make compromises then you shouldn't have any problems. BTW, you can sign your comments with ~~~~ like this Chris 73 | Talk 23:21, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Steorn ad cost

I noticed that you added the cost of the Economist ad to the article on Steorn and provided a link to a PDF document listing prices. I am trying to restructure such links into proper citations that may be verified by other editors, given the controversial nature of the subject.

Could you point out exactly which line item you used to obtain this price? I found three ("Outside back cover", "Facing first Contents page", or "RHP facing Contents", all under "Worldwide Display, Four Color Bleed, 1x", which I assume means a one-time ad), but I have no information on the actual ad itself in order to cite the correct line item. Do you have a link or other source that actually indicates which kind of ad it was? As it stands, this claim is a little too extrapolative, and will likely incur the label of original research. Thank you for your assistance. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 21:06, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Internet companies of Ireland

Hello,

WP:PROD does not deal with categories, so I've transferred your PROD to WP:CFD 132.205.93.88 03:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move British Isles (common) to British Isles

Yes, that's fine. It looks really good. It's good to see that a compromise has been reached. What you have proposed is fine. Thankyou Lofty 15:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Nice job, S-Y. Dppowell 17:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair Use images

I've only been tagging those of musical artists who are currently performing (I think the only exception to that was Nalgene, which should be insultingly simple to get a free alternative). I'm not sure if free alternatives exist for these or not, but I don't think that issue changes very much. Having free content is one of the five pillars of Wikipedia, and having fair use images of these performers discourages people from creating or otherwise obtaining them. As the first criterion at WP:FUC says, "if the subject of the photograph still exists, a freely-licensed photograph could be taken." If you disagree with this policy, I strongly suggest that you bring it up at the ongoing discussions at Wikipedia talk:Fair use criteria. —ShadowHalo 23:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. --sony-youth 23:48, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I didn't tag that image as replaceable. The tag there is {{AutoReplaceable fair use people}}, so I assume it was generated automatically. Here's my assumption of what happened. A user uploaded the file and tried to use it on the David Bisbal and Corazón Latino pages. Since it was a copyright violation at the Bisbal page, I assume a bot or something else automatically added the replaceable tag. I added the tag saying it was disputed, added a fair use rationale for its use at Corazón Latino, and corrected the licensing tag so that it was identified as an album cover.

I don't believe what I'm doing is indiscrimanate POV pushing. There are instructions in the tag as to what steps should be taken if a person disagrees. I also don't tag images of people who are dead as you implied that I do or support doing. Those images certainly do fit the first criterion since it's impossible to take a picture of a dead person (or, at least, probably illegal). I haven't tagged any artists (to my recollection) that no longer perform. And I haven't tagged images that would be exceptions to the first criterion (for example, this image of U2 would meet the first criterion since it's used in the article to illustrate the event, not the band). —ShadowHalo 00:23, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
