[edit] License tagging for Image:Barone 2006.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Barone 2006.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. 04:04, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright permission

The note granting permission has to to be sent from an e-mail address associated with the website from which it is copied. —Centrxtalk • 00:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

In order to use the text on Richard Barone on Wikipedia, it must be released under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL). In order to confirm this permission, please:

  • Make a note on the original website that re-use is permitted under the GFDL and state at Talk:Richard Barone (my talk page, User talk:Centrx may be preferable for quicker response) where we can find that note; or
  • Send an e-mail from rbarone(at)earthlink(dot)net to permissions(at)wikimedia(dot)org permitting re-use under the GFDL.

Only after this has been done can the page be re-created. Sorry for the inconvenience. —Centrxtalk • 17:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I have, for the moment, restored the page. —Centrxtalk • 03:05, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
By "for the moment" I mean only that if, several weeks from now, copyright permission is not confirmed by someone involved with Wikimedia permissions it will be deleted again. Don't worry about it. —Centrxtalk • 04:18, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I do recommend that you find some external, reliable sources about, for example, the concert preparation or record sales. —Centrxtalk • 04:21, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Those were just some examples/suggestions of things that would have external, reliable sources. The point is that you should cite those sources. You don't need to cite every single minutiae, but the point is to cite the sources that attest to the notability of this person warranting inclusion in an encyclopedia. So, what I meant was link to an article on the Times website, make a citation for the Billboard listings. It is not that necessary, though, as I see there are mentions of the New York Times and the various record labels, but it would still be good to have. I hope you stick around and edit other articles, too. This is truly an important website. I have put a welcome message below that has useful information. I am leaving for the night, bye. —Centrxtalk • 04:51, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative rock

It's more that they're somewhat obscure. Writing that article has always been a balance between referencing as many notable bands as possible while also trying to avoid it turning into name-dropping. After all, Let's Active could be listed in the same sentence, but they're not for basic readability purposes. WesleyDodds 04:56, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

You can always add it back if you want to. It's not my article (even if I did write most of it) or anyone else's; that's how Wikipedia works. I just personally feel in the greater scope of alternative rock as a whole they probably don't deserve a mention over other bands. They would probably better deserve a mention in a more specific subgenre page, such as jangle pop. WesleyDodds 05:40, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Bongos edo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bongos edo.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. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 07:46, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
