Can you take a look at this article again? I know that you tagged it db-copyvio earlier, but it is back, and the original author claims he is improving it. I still see no notability, but he removed my speedy tag. I reinserted it, which I probably should not have done. The fact that he is a media consultant really bothers me---is he using Wikipedia to advertise on behalf of a client? If so, db-spam would be appropriate. Or, should I take it to AfD? I'd really like your opinion, if you have a moment. Thanks. ---Charles 15:41, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Well, in the meantime, CharlotteWebb has taken it to AfD [[1]], just in case you are interested in expressing an opinion. ---Charles 16:00, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for my error. I just created a stub for a link I needed in an article I am writing. I was not aware that even a phrase is a copyright violation. I can and will rephrase it so that there is no copyright infringement.

That was foolish of me. The copyright is mine (Robert Nash with James O'Connor), but as it happens I had second thoughts on the suitability of the content. I'll rethink the page.Best regards from Ireland Notafly

Thank you for editing "List of best selling video games"
I've been monitoring video game sales at my spare time and really like the refined works you contributed on this page. I tried to help a bit by updating NDS and Sega's platinum titles (2 Sonic ones without logging in..^^") in recent hours and notice you efficiently enhance the reference and other games. This is truly awesome quality- hands down!!
PS. I post my appreciation here as I feel a bit overwhelmed to read through and participate the talk page of "List of best selling video games" (I read only 60% of all the discussion war...XD). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Starkawa (talk • contribs) 22:03, 8 December 2006 (UTC).
Thanks
Thanks for responding to my Help request. I have lurked here for the better part of 3 years making typo corrections anonymously, and finally decided to create an account and dig in. Have a good weekend. Ugly Elephant 02:52, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Re: Using an external editor
I'm assuming you're on a Unix or Unix-like system. If so, try making sure your TMPDIR environmental is properly set, for example try starting firefox on the shell this way:
TMPDIR=/tmp firefox &
If this solves the problem, you may have to initialize the variable in /etc/profile, e.g.:
if [ -z "$TMPDIR" ]
then
export TMPDIR="/usr/tmp/$LOGNAME"
[ ! -e "$TMPDIR" ] && mkdir $TMPDIR
fi
[ -e "$TMPDIR" ] && chmod go-rwx $TMPDIR

Link for List of Sailor Moon Locations
would this be a good link for the List of Sailor Moon Locations page? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sailor_Moon_locations http://www.geocities.com/lunararchivist/mystplan.html It's a little old but it talks about the places in the solar system that are based on real space locations. Would that be of good use? Neptunekh 04:59, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
You did a re-edition on my correction, why?
On the List of best selling Computer Games is Final Fantasy X with 4 mio Units on the References: 9^ Final Fantasy X hits 5 million, world quakes. Computer and Video Games (2006-07-09). Retrieved on 2006-11-26. is this link. There are a few diffrents like that on this list please can you explain me why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.150.38.123 (talk) 14:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC).
- Hello there. I notice you did a change, and I reverted back with an explanation. The given reference for FFX sales (www.gamespot.com/ps2/rpg/finalfantasy10/news.html?sid=2843955) states Square has announced that sales of Final Fantasy X have reached the 4 million mark, meeting company expectations. There is another reference, the one you say, that points to www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=76588, but this article is used as a reference to Populous, FFX. I will replace the FFX reference with the Populous one, so that we can update FFX sales to 5m. Thanks for pointing that out. -- ReyBrujo 16:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Sneaky vandalism
Hi Rey, could you review the contribs of User:66.215.28.84? I noticed you warned him yesterday for deliberately inserting false information and he appears to be doing the same today, but I wasn't sure enough of myself to hit rollback on all his edits myself. I'd appreciate it if you could take a look. Thanks. -- Steel 01:57, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

- I also want to know whether Brian Joo should be addressed by his surname or his stage name, which is how he is professionally known as in South Korea. The page currently addresses him as "Brian." If you think this should be corrected, please do. Thanks=) mirageinred 03:43, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Lyric sites
I started a page to make it easier to find and track links to suspect lyric sites at User:Mike Dillon/Lyric farms. I thought you might be interested. Mike Dillon 02:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

- So, do the check marks on your list indicate that you found an indication that the sites in question had permission? Mike Dillon 02:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
I updated the format of User:Mike Dillon/Lyric farms and I'd like your input. I have a bot account that I was going to seek approval for at some point, so this may be a reason to use it. Mike Dillon 04:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
- In case you're interested, I've gotten automated code working to complete the report format I showed you previously. I still haven't gotten bot approval, so I'm posting the results manually every so often. Let me know if you have any suggestions for the report. Mike Dillon 07:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

The picture
Although that policy is explicit, Wikipedia is dedicated to providing the best info possible to the masses. In order to achieve that goal, such rules as WP:IAR are in place. They are there for a reason.
I understand your reasons behind putting up the GNU image, but when the best possible is being used under a fair use copyright, why can't we use it?
Btw, I mean no disrespect or hostility in this post. I've just had a long day and I came from reading this and this. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 05:25, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
I understand you perfectly. BTW, somebody changed that picture to some stupid sketch of Albert Camus, so I'm going to switch it to the one with the watermark. Happy Holidays. S h a r k f a c e 2 1 7 01:39, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

List of best-selling video game consoles
Hi,
You obviously know a lot about how Wikipedia works. I want to update the sales figures for the Nintendo DS and GBA with the data I found and collected, but I want to do it right. It was time consuming to do so and the figures are accurate and reliable, so I don't simply want to remove and forget about them. I thought putting it on the Talk Page would be acceptable, but it seems that it is not. I would move it to the actual article page, but as you can see it is a lot of info and would make the article messy. I suppose I could simply add each one as a reference at the bottom, however I don't think putting 10+ reference tags on a single line would be acceptable (or very presentable) either. How would you recommend I go about doing this? On my Talk Page you mentioned creating a reference page, however I do not know how to do that. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!

Fair Use Talk
I have left more responses to your comments on [23] Hackajar 01:10, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Our five pillars disagree with you. We strive for verifiability, free content, neutral point of view, good behaviour, etc. As far as I know, featured content is not a policy we must follow. We do not focus on highest possible quality encylopedia, although of course, it is nice. That is for Encyclopædia Britannica, where every article could be considered a Featured article here. An image that identifies the subject is enough, even if slightly blurry. The last time I checked the browser window it said "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", not "Wikipedia, the highest possible quality encyclopedia".
And by the way, while free is better than fair, for some situations where creating a free version of an existing copyrighted one would demand excessive effort that cannot be easily attained, I agree with including Fair use images. But promotional pictures do not come to my mind when thinking about something "non repeatable". -- ReyBrujo 02:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- The existance of Fair Use Images section of WP:FU contradicts both Five pillars and your above statements no? So where does that leave us? Hackajar 05:02, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- Replied on the user's talk page. [24] -- ReyBrujo 05:14, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that images must be replace, although I don't like thought of image being used in complience with WP:FU is delete because of the statistical possibility that there may be a free alternative availible. What bothers me is users speedy deletion of an image, claiming a free alternative is available, but not providing proof free image exists!Hackajar 05:44, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey ReyBrujo
I just ran across all your efforts over on Wikipedia_talk:Elimination_of_Fair_Use_Rationale_in_Promotional_Photos/Vote and I wanted to make a comment. Educating people is usually difficult and thankless work. I can't make it easier, but at least I can Thank You. You have been doing a great job.--Gmaxwell 11:41, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
Lacuna Coil
The reason I reverted it is because originally that section was blanked by a vandal. Leyasu had reverted the vandalism, but due to his ban the nature of his edit was grossly overlooked. The reason i restored it is because the discussion was gone over several times on the discussion page, and sources are abundant for their listing as both genres in keeping with the npov rules regarding representing both sides of the argument fairly. Sorry if my edit caused confusion. Crono 23:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

- Hello. Apparently I cannot resolve the name, but I can access it through IP. The article was original, but StJude JH (talk • contribs) added some modifications. I will revert his modifications so that it is not copyvio anymore. Thanks for telling us, but next time, try using the talk page of the article or Wikipedia:Copyright problems, Wikipedia:Suspected copyright violations are for new articles that can be speedy deleted under copyright violation speedy criteria.

Bay (horse)
OK, so, if you pardon the pun, that particular Bay (horse) merge/rename/move (it's basically a rename) is out of the barn, can you fix the history stuff this time? I'm reading the move article and it's making my eyes cross. I can probably figure it out by the next time I have to do this, and solemnly promise to either do it right next time or ask for help. Thanks. Montanabw 16:57, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
Fair Use Illmatic
I was hoping for a little guidance, but I'm still not sure what to do. I removed 2 of the quotes, that should get whoever is working on the page to pay enough attention to deal with the fair use issue. KP Botany 17:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Image Opinion Request
Hi - can I get your opinion on a particular image? I don't know if you follow the WikiProject Spam discussion, but there is a user running into some trouble editing for his own company. The image in question is Image:Startcom-logo.jpg which contains the statement "The StartCom Logo is provided by StartCom for the use in Wikipedia, but otherwise copyright is maintained by StartCom." The user claims this is equivalent to a fair-use license. If you have something useful to contribute, please weigh in at WT:WPSPAM#Startcom. Thanks! ✤ JonHarder talk 00:48, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
