[edit] Mouse and the Traps

I came across the article on "Mouse (musician)". I'm a bit confused. Is the intended focus of the article on Weiss or the band? The current name had to go as article titles do not take quotation marks. Since it appeared to be on the member from the text of the first paragraph, I moved it to Ronnie Weiss. If you want to distinguish his nickname Mouse, so that others find it, you can add and approporiate entry at Mouse (disambiguation), and possibly, separately, make a redirect to Mouse (musician), although that is really not a likely search term so it may not be useful. Or if you want to make the article simply on the band, move the article to Mouse and the Traps (your account needs to be four days old before you can move an article). Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit 14:12, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:PebblesBox-Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PebblesBox-Cover.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 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ↔NMajdan•talk 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PebblesBox-Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PebblesBox-Cover.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will 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. ↔NMajdan•talk 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Yes, unfortunately, fair use images need a detailed fair use rationale with them for each article they are used in (see Image:OU-Logo.PNG for an example of a fair use image used in multiple articles). If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me or you can go to Media copyright questions.↔NMajdan•talk 20:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
