[edit] TylerStewart2.jpg

  • I believe Image:TylerStewart2.jpg is good, however it needs more explicite source info in order to stand the test of time. Nice photo. Please give your name and confirm that you are the photographer and state it explicitly on the license info for the photo.Cafe Nervosa | talk
I gave a date and location for the show, and noted that I am the creator of the image. I don't see the problem TheHYPO 22:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: What's My Line guest panelists

Hi, yes I agree that these lists can get tedious. I have no problem putting this list elsewhere--though I do not think that burying the info. within a talk page is of any use as it will most likely never be resurrected. I do not see a problem of having such long lists of guests under their own article, but I think it is more relevant and accessble to have the list within a trivia section at the end of the article. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad to know that others are as passionate about What's My Line as I am. All the Best, Bill Keane in So. Cal. aka Keane4

[edit] Simpsons

I'd like to invite you to join The Simpsons Wikiproject, as it's a central hub for all of us Simpsons geeks... feel free to add your name to the participants list, then add the userbox to your user page... leave a note on my talk page if you need any help... have fun, and happy editing... - Adolphus79 00:03, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:RFPP on the Simpsons

Not quite enough activity to warrant protection yet. Please alert if anon vandalism picks up. Hope you're enjoying the great TO weather -- Samir धर्म 06:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem - thought it couldn't hurt to ask. Take care TheHYPO 08:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage revert

I was recent changes patrolling on the recent changes page!

[edit] Deletion of Image - Andy Creeggan

You deleted Image:Andag1.jpg from Andy Creeggan citing that it is not used to for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question. I would argue that it is used to identify Andy Creeggan and demonstrate his appearance in that video (just like a screenshot, say, of 24 may be used in an article about a character to ID that character, rather than to ID the show or episode... I'm interested in your point of view; please elaborate. (note: You can reply here if you like; I will keep watch on this talk page) TheHYPO 06:29, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi, TheHYPO. According to the bold text on the {{musicpromo-screenshot}} template you used on Image:Andag1.jpg, that images can only be used "for identification and critical commentary on the music video in question". Let me know of any further questions. Best regards, --Abu Badali 12:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I understand that; My question is why you feel that identification of how someone appeared in that video does not qualify. Note the image Image:Jean-Luc_Picard1.jpg is also a TV screenshot; like thousands of TV and movie characters on wiki, the image is used to ID the character, though the image is not being used to specifically identify the episode or scene in question. I understand that the copyright for screenshots say 'and its contents' at the end, but it's the same fair use law for music videos as film and tv shots; and that phrase should apply equally to music video screenshots, which are tv screenshots; just because whoever made the template didn't use the phrase 'and its contents' shouldn't necessarily alter the qualifications for use. TheHYPO 19:33, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Hello again, TheHYPO. I believe when the template says "identification", it means identification of "the music video in question", not identification of anything desired. I agree that there are tons of fair use abuses on Wikipedia, but a thousand erros don't make a right. I also believe that when {{movie-screenshot}} says "it's contents", it's not allowing us to use a movie screenshot just to illustrate an article on some person depicted on that screenshot. Also, these templates were not made at some editor's will. They should follow the Wikipedia's Fair Use policies. If we find something too permissive in some of the templates, it's going to be changed to match the policies. Best regards, --Abu Badali 20:10, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
So if the article discussed the music video in question, it would be an acceptable use? TheHYPO 20:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
That image is acceptable as fair use in any article doing critical commentary on the video. Just mentioning the video is no good. Some few lines about the video, is no good. (I'm not implying you intend to do that, I'm just warning you about a very commom type of Fair Use abuse on Wikipedia). The text should be the cause behind the image use, not the reverse.
Even if the article is changed to make a deep critical disscussion on the video, we should avoid using that image as the main image on the article (at the top), as it would be still being used to identification of the subject.
Of course, this is all my interpretations of the fair use policies on Wikipedia and I'm open to discussion.
TheHYPO, I appreciate your intentions to put an image on the Andy Creeggan article. I agree that images greatly improve Wikipedia's article. But free images, although harder to get, are a thousand times better choice. Have you tried to find some free image for this article? I have had some recent success in findding freely licensed images to use in Wikipedia by searching pictures on Flickr and, when they are not already free, contacting the photographer and asking if he/she would be interested in having his work used on Wikipedia. You know what? Most of them love the idea and release their work freely. Why don't you give a try? Best wishes, --Abu Badali 20:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Andag1.jpg)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Andag1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Abu Badali 23:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I disagree with your revert, or I don't understand your clarification. (You could be completely right, I just don't understand what you're saying.) I created an entry on the Talk page since others may have input. Wyatt Riot 05:36, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vacation

Hi,

I'm going on a two week vacation soon and therefore will I not be able to watch the edits made to The Simpsons. I know you already watch the page, so I will just ask you to perhaps watch it a bit closer. I personally go through every single edit and remove whatever crappy additions have been made. Anyway, have a great summer.

Best regards,

Yeah, I know the feeling. You should be writng an essay, and slowly, you make just one edit, then another, another, and soon, you are up at 2am editing instead of writing an essay. :) aido2002 06:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: ParserFunctions

Hi,

What I have done is to checkout revision 15021 of http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/extensions/ParserFunctions (it is the latest revision which actually works with 1.6) and then make this change:

--- ParserFunctions.php (revision 15021)
+++ ParserFunctions.php (working copy)
@@ -44,7 +44,7 @@
        }

        function ifHook( &$parser, $test = '', $then = '', $else = '' ) {
-               if ( $test !== '' ) {
+               if ( (string)$test !== '' ) {
                        return $then;
                } else {
                        return $else;

With this, ParserFunctions seems to work flawlessly with 1.6.

[edit] Barenaked Ladies Are Me

Hey! I don't typically use Wikipedia to talk about things other than articles, what needs to be done, etc., but I couldn't resist this time around. I'm a big Barenaked Ladies fan, and I was curious what you knew about the upcoming release on USB through werkshop.com (seeing as how you were the one who added it on the page). Do you know anything about when that will be available for order and how much it will cost? I couldn't seem to find it on the website. Thanks in advance! Cheers, EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 07:17, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info, I'll keep an eye on the website. I've seen you around a fair amount, by the way- keep up the good work! Feel free to let me know if you ever need anything. EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 18:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Simpsons on Teletoon

There were on in the early part of 2000s. That's why I put the following on the Teletoon shows category page:

This category lists shows that are either on or have previously been on Teletoon.

[edit] TTC Stations

Thanks for your comment. You might also be interested in the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/East Mall (TTC), as I don't think individual pages for many of these proposed stations are appropriate. And at the same time there's a discussion at Category talk:Toronto LRT stations where I've realised someone has been creating individual pages for many streetcar stops in Toronto Nfitz 16:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Sets1a.jpg

Hello, again... I was trying to add onto the screenshot compilation you made, with a screenshot of the current Late Night set... and for some reason, all I saw on the page was a squeezed version of the image, without the new part. If you have any idea what is going on, please help. Also, If you want me to email you the image with the new part, just give me your email address. aido2002 05:40, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Xyz or die (talk • contribs)

I still do not perceive this as vandalism. Quoting from Wikipedia:Vandalism:

Some users cannot come to agreement with others who are willing to talk to them on an article's talk page, and repeatedly make changes opposed by everyone else. This is regrettable — you may wish to see our dispute resolution pages to get help. However, it is not vandalism.

[edit] Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes

Hi, hope you don't mind me posting to your userpage but I'm trying to collect opinion on a proposal relating to The Simpsons and, despite posting to various talk pages, I've had no feedback at all (except from a co-planner). I don't mind if all the opinion is negative (then I'll just forget the idea) but I'd like it to get some visibiltiy. I'm not going to go implement it unless the consensus is positive.

I'm proposing changing the way we manage lists of songs in episodes. Please see Wikipedia:WikiProject The Simpsons/Proposal for managing song lists on Simpsons episodes which has a full explanation of the proposal. Please leave comments there.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this, or any views on where else it should be discussed --Mortice 12:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: YouTube

YouTube is not prohibited outright and it is judged on a clip-by-clip basis. Some YT links -do- give copyright information and are apropriate for linkage... Just not many.---J.S (t|c) 22:24, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] iTunes Originals

Got it, sorry for changing the order. Now I see that I it was arranged that way, I was expecting it to be listed like this by sirnames : Apple, Fiona, that's why it was confusing. I won't mess with that article again. - DJREJECTED 04:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sets1a.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sets1a.jpg. 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.

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.

[edit] If I Had $1000000

I guess the only one that uses "A $1000000" is the Shoe Box E.P., which has a "Yellow Tape Version" of the song under that name. In any case, I agree that we should go with Gordon's spelling. --Arctic Gnome (Talk) (Cntrb) 23:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Simpsons WikiProject

Hi, there has recently been some contention over the isse of whether Simpsons character pages need "episodes featuring" lists and it's been decided that the issue will be put to a vote.

[edit] Andy Richter

I just saw it on IMDB and assumed it was accurate. I hadn't seen every episode, but I had assumed it was mentioned at some point. Fernandobouregard 05:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In case you weren't aware....

...you don't actually "own" the Barenaked Ladies articles that are here. See WP:OWN. And Barenaked Ladies Are Men is its own album. You don't have the right to revert edits - especially when they're so convincingly proven - because it doesn't suit YOUR perception of what the articles should be. I've been here longer than you and one of the things you'll have to learn is that collaboration is a major part of wikipedia and that no one has ownership over the articles. There are also serious NPOV issues in your writing (there is a difference between encyclopedic writing and the musings of a fan). I strongly suggest you leave the pages as they are - specifically the new album, or else I will have to get an admin involved and will be proven right. Learn to be flexible. It'll be to your benefit. (Have you looked at the official BNL site lately? Both new albums are listed for sale separately. Both albums are also being reviewed separately - look at All Music Guide, for example. How much more proof do you need?).

[edit] My concern about article Barenaked Ladies Are Men

Hello, TheHYPO, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or argumentative, but I'm concerned about article Barenaked Ladies Are Men, which you have edited. Could we discuss that concern here?

I feel it is better that we make this debate more known to the public so we can hopefully come to a consensus. This template is more a formality than anything else. As I've already said, I could sway either way at this point.

I'd appreciate learning your own views, understanding your reasons for your particular edits, and discussing what alternatives might avoid raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:

  • If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
  • If you prefer, we can discuss the matter at Talk:Barenaked Ladies Are Men, where other editors could contribute their viewpoints.
  • If we can't agree in either setting, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as asking for a "third opinion", or requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Admins usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
  • If you prefer not to deal with me at all, you can ask others for guidance: there are experienced Wikipedians who offer mentorship, "adoption", or advocacy; and many admins will also make the time to answer earnest questions on their talk pages (though some are either very busy or away on "Wikibreak").
  • Any time you feel overwhelmed by the complexity of it all, you can simply post {{helpme}} here on your talk page, with a description of your questions or problems, and someone will show up to help you find answers or solutions.

Let me reassure you that my writing here means I don't think your editing is so bad that you should just stop or be stopped. This is more a case where opinions might differ, and it would be good to reach some consensus -- either here, or at Talk:Barenaked Ladies Are Men, or at WP:RFC. So I look forward to a friendly discussion, and to enjoying your continued participation on Wikipedia. Thank you again! -- JPG-GR 06:23, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:
