[edit] The Third Half

This is a non-notable website according to the standards set out in WP:WEB. It may well be deleted shortly unless evidence for notability can be supplied.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  14:48, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure if you pick up on this by me replying her or if I have to reply to your Talk page, but anyway. The Third Half, though a subsiduary forum of The Dugout, is a stand alone community with a diverse history involving the entire CM/FM Community. I see this site as being 'notable' for much the same reason as I presume the several thousand other ForumWiki's do. Historically we have produced our own content (not linked to The Dugout in any way) from download patch files (including 1 award winning), through to community orientated quiz, media sources, memes, in-jokes/community wide jargon, repository of information, and publications (as featured in at least several UK national magazines, National Newspapers, and Dutch publications). The page will be filled with yet further content, historical links and details as I progress. At the moment I am merely in the process of establishing details and history of individual protagonists and their contributions over the last 7 years.
The topic 'could' be included within The Dugouts main page, but as an 'off topic' forum (and therefore nothing to do with The Dugouts topics) that seemed to me to be somewhat against policy.--Koncorde 16:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and I just noticed one of your concerns was the 60 people quotient. That is based upon 'regulars' but does not include individual page views or the number of members who don't contribute. Given we have approximately 600,000 posts in little over a year (and were far busier prior to the transfer from the old server) either every person has posted 10,000 times - or there are more people than that. The 60 was just what I would refer to as 'Hardcore' regulars (i.e. notable members). Given the 600,000 as an estimate of a years activity The Third Half has had a turnover of approximately 4,200,000 posts since its inception and a potential membership twenty two thousand (based on the membership prior to the transfer in January 2005)--Koncorde 16:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion conventions and The Third Half

If you want to delete something that you've been the only editor of, you can tag it {{db-author}} to get rid of it. Adding prod tags isn't a constructive edit, so it would still apply here. I'm not sure if blanking the page was the proper course with an ongoing AfD, but I suppose if you're going to resubmit it later, then that's ok.--Kchase02 T 20:33, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Cheers didn't know that.--Koncorde 22:48, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Promo mel gibson.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Promo mel gibson.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (→Netscott) 19:57, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Cheers.--Koncorde 20:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Greetings, so long as a free alternative image exists this image will not be valid for usage on the Mel Gibson article. The image tag you utilized was wrong as you are not in a position to license the image as GFDL. I would suggest you add the actual website address where you downloaded this image from to its description. Thanks. (→Netscott) 20:29, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
I've restored some edits of yours relative to copywrite and licensing details on this image... please do add a source for the image. Also you will want to add the image to an article where its fair use rationale will be applicable otherwise the image will be deleted. Thanks again. (→Netscott) 20:35, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
Appreciate your help. Have responded in Mel Gibson again though as I feel the use of the mugshot detracts from the neutrality of the piece in this case.--Koncorde 22:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Previous Fair Use example

Koncorde, please see this talk regarding an image of Ayaan Hirsi Ali to better understand the whole question of free images vs. fair use images. Thanks. (→Netscott) 02:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Did you get a chance to read the above talk? If the pupose of the image is to show what Mel Gibson looks like then the free image is what is to be used. The fact to the matter is that outside of the knowledge of the photo's origins it does not appear to be a "mugshot" (much unlike other mugshots showing those arrested holding arrest file info in the picture, etc). (→Netscott) 00:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
I read it, but I don't support the opinion given that the rule is applied very very weakly across wikipedia. Everybody from Sean Connery to Tom Cruise utilises papparazi or other media styled shots. I feel somewhat that the application in this case was somewhat malicious in the first placeand detracted from the neutrality of the entry. I sympathise very much with your case regarding Ayaan, and I think you got done over by rules lawyers.--Koncorde 00:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Well, much good came from the deletion of the previous image of her as the new image spread to every language article about her. There's nothing malicious about using free images. As others have said the image of him is a "good" photo and is indeed a good representation of his genuine appearance. I'm probably going to submit this question to the editors who frequent the fair use pages. (→Netscott) 00:19, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
The initial use of the image was distinctly malicious. If you check back through the logs you'll see that it included the official time stamp and other markers, and was also titled beneath in a malicious fashion. Otherwise I had and have no real objection, other than I don't see this same rule being applied in a particularly consistent fashion therefore seemingly singling out Mr.Gibson.--Koncorde 00:24, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


I would appreciate it if you would tell me on my page what on earth is going on with the various pictures of Mel Gibson. Why are they all being deleted? --Blue Tie 07:25, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

for your kind comments.--Blue Tie 20:09, 6 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Rotary guy

Thanks for the heads up. I read this guys other stuff and he is really wacked out! I imagibe he is beyond all reason. In anycase, thanks for trying to keep things fair and up to standard. 98percenthuman 18:05, 13 August 2006 (UTC)98percenthuman


[edit] Mel Gibson

You didnt remove the Bounty reference from the Anglophobia section, i did, please remove this from the history.68.71.35.93 07:37, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

The history cannot be changed (to my knowledge). You must have removed it with your last edit whilst I was also editing hence me not noticing.--Koncorde 15:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Ham external links

No problem, I'll trust your superior knowledge of the subject, though if its used as a general reference it should probably go in the References section rather than being a plain ol' external link. Oldelpaso 09:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Tth.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Tth.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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.
