Nice article on Ward Morehouse, I enjoyed it! Joaquin Murietta 05:52, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blitz!

Not sure if you watchlisted Blitz!, but it's now a pretty real article. If you happen to be able to help out on the original cast, that would be great: I know the play from my childhood, but don't have a copy of the album at hand. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:35, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Animal House

It's hard to figure what's up with that guy and his Leo Strauss story. Oddly enough, it's not even my battle. There have been others reverting it, for probably several weeks now. It has become kind of a tedious cat-and-mouse game. It's not as bad as what that one yahoo was doing to the George Reeves page, but it's still annoying. The one thing about putting that gossip in the toga party page is that at least it could arguably belong there. Putting it in the Animal House page is out of context. The guy is clearly pushing a point of view, or something to do with the "gay agenda" (either pro or con) or some other personal reason, which he denies, but I don't believe it. The fact that he won't discuss it is a dead giveaway, as I see it. Ah, what's an editor to do? Wahkeenah 13:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: 207.200.116.138

Unfortunately, the vandal is from AOL. All AOL users come to Wikipedia through common proxies, so blocking such IP for an extended period of time will result in a lot of collateral damage. So there is no way to block this IP permanently. --WinHunter (talk) 14:10, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:QuicksilverHighway.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:QuicksilverHighway.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Amadeus Playbill.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Amadeus Playbill.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 16:05, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:FFDplaybill2006.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:FFDplaybill2006.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 13:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philanthropist

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Philanthropist, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Philanthropist. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. — Sebastian (talk) 03:47, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eulogy

Just a question -- what do you think, does the LGBT-related films cat negate the Lesbianism-related films cat? I believe LGBT-related films is a parent category of Lesbianism-related films anyhow. Is it still useful? -FateSmiled&DestinyLaughed 22:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


- hi. since the description of the LGBT-related films category reads, "films that deal with or feature important gay, lesbian or bisexual or transgender characters or issues and may have same-sex romance or relationships as an important plot device", i figured having both that category and the lesbian film category attached to Eulogy (film) was redundant.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Egorovgravesite.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Egorovgravesite.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Fair use and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:39, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deception/Eleanor Aller

Thanks for your message. Apparently, Aller was Mrs Felix Slatkin and she was pregnant with Frederic(k) Zlotkin when she played for Henreid. Her other son is Leonard Slatkin. Her father, Gregory Aller, coached Henreid in plausible bow movements.

More curiosiities about the film: During the cello-playing scenes, Paul Henreid's hands were tied behind his back and two actual cellists were used in the close shots--one placed his right hand through Henreid's right sleeve and worked the bow; the other placed his left arm through Henreid's left sleeve and did the fingering.

A wonderful source for similar info on many films - in case you are not already familiar with it - is TCM at http://www.tcmdb.com/index.jsp Cheers! Orbicle 00:31, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nikita Balieff

Hello,

Thanks for creating the article Nikita Balieff. I have made a DYK nomination on this article. While nominating, I did see an existing nomination by you, but I went ahead and put in another nomination as the hook I was nominating seem to be more interesting (atleast for me :-) ) . You can see both the nominations here. Thanks again! - KNM Talk 03:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Nikitabalieff.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Nikitabalieff.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. howcheng {chat} 03:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

How about putting the name and date of the newspaper where you got this from onto the image page? If there's a photo credit in the newspaper, then add that too. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 00:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
