Thanks for uploading the season 3 promotional image (Image:Seasonthree.jpg) this a good illustration of the cast and a valuable addition to the article. However, you did not add a fair use rationale when uploading this fair use image. It will have to be removed from the pages that feature it if no rationale is provided. For advice on how to produce a rationale see WP:FU and for an example I have written a rationale for the image of Mr Eko and the monster (Image:Lost ep210 12 360x240.jpg). Apologies if you were planning to write a rationale later, I just thought some of this information might be useful if you hadn't done so before.--Opark 77 01:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Seasonthree.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Seasonthree.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. Abu Badali 01:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edits
It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from an article. Please be careful not to remove content from Wikipedia without a valid reason, which you should specify in the edit summary or on the article's talk page. Thank you. Shannernanner 11:38, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Further Instructions
I've changed back almost all of your edits that assert that Further Instructions was the last flashback episode for many of the main characters. What Locke saw was a vision and not a flashback so it should not be classified as such. This is clearly seen by the fact that Desmond shows up as a pilot and Ben at the metal detector. The vision was just a metaphor for the situation the characters are currently in and was not a flashback in any way. Gdo01 20:08, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Tainted poll?
Hi. Sorry to bother you. You participated in a television episode article naming poll which now lives at this location. Some feel that wording changes have compromised the results of that poll. If you don't mind, could you please take a look at what is there now and add a quick note at WT:TV-NC#Looking for anyone who objects to the last poll to say whether your feelings on the matter remain the same? Of course you can feel free to read over the entirety of both links for more information. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:09, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:PauloTemp.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:PauloTemp.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. --Oden 19:37, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kate's image
You need to stop reverting Image:Katelost.jpg. There is no good reason to use the cleaned up promo picture over an image of Kate that is more "in character". Not only that, but you are reverting the image without updating the image description page, where I've made a specific write up to the fair use rational and source for the image. I really don't understand why you are objecting to that image. Is there a better one I can find, or will you revert any image that is not the promo image? -- Ned Scott 02:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Hot.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hot.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Kiele.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Kiele.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Oden 15:46, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rodrigo.jpg
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Rodrigo.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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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. Oden 15:49, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR Warn
Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 23:42, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:57077.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:57077.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Ned Scott 08:05, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Libby.jpg
If you like we can bring this to Images for Deletion or something like that, but I doubt it would be any different from the Ana Lucia situation. I really don't like to waste my time on this kind of stuff, but if you really want to be proven wrong, then ok. -- Ned Scott 05:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- This again? -- Ned Scott 06:33, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
- This time I honestly believe the season promotional picture of Kate better represents the character than the Tabula Rasa promotional picture. --thedemonhog 18:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lost images
For a few months we've both been fighting over these images, and yet I never stopped to properly explain myself. I need to apologies to you for that. I really went about the whole situation in the wrong way, which is probably what caused the confusion in this situation. Sometimes I get too worked up over these things, so I'm sorry for my harsh reactions and comments. I've tried to better explain myself at Talk:Lost (TV series)#Fair use and Lost, so I hope that will help clear some of this up. -- Ned Scott 07:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Flashback characters
There has been some revert warring over which characters should be listed for flashback/featured in Lost episodes, and it is being discussed again to either reassert the old consensus or see if there is a new one. I saw you were previously involved with discussions of this, so here's a heads up Talk:Characters of Lost#Flashback characters. Input would be appreciated, thanks. --Milo H Minderbinder 22:46, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:LostNav
The problem with this template is that with a < br > in it, it doesn't fit to an 800x600 resolution (hence me repeatedly removing it, god knows why people keep reinstating it). Also, on pages such as Ana Lucía Cortez the < br > causes problems when the template is squeezed in at the bottom. I hope this can be fixed soon as I am getting bored of fixing it!

[edit] Dot and why
The vertical bar is a valid delimiter (LEDES 1998B). See Bullet (typography), "In typography, a bullet is a typographical symbol or glyph used to introduce items in a list, like below, also known as the point of a bullet", we aren't presenting the information in list form, the dot also appears as a square (to me at least), not to mention it's a poor separator imo, where as a pipe reaches to the top, has no odd formatting and is widely used on Wikipedia. Not to mention I don't remember there being any discussion to change it to a dot. Matthew 22:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tom picture
Why do you insist on changing the picture of Tom to one you've uploaded when my one is clearly much better quality? Other Lost-related images are also a high resolution such as this, so it should just be left alone. -- SilvaStorm
- Sorry about that, but in my defense I could ask you the same question as my picture was there first. Anyway, I like mine because it doesn't have the watermark on it, which I edited out, and I uploaded the picture as lesser resolution because I find that gives a stronger fair use claim. Because you insist, I will upload a full-sized picture of Tom without the watermark and forget about mine. --thedemonhog 18:17, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Nevermind about yours (I just found out that it was deleted), but I will upload a newer higher-resolution version of my image. --thedemonhog 18:19, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, you can't do that. Please see Wikipedia:Fair use. Fair use images, such as this, must not be made available in such a high-quality way that they could be used as a substitute for the copyright holder's original. Large fair use photos are specifically tagged with {{fairusereduce}} to replace them with smaller versions. In the future when uploading fair use images, please do not upload high quality publicity photographs like this one. —dgiestc 18:41, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

- Okay, that's fine. It's why I uploaded the low-resolution in the first place. --thedemonhog 18:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You're really starting to piss me off
Okay, obviously you've got a grudge against me after all those picture discussions, so can you just leave my work alone, and I'll do the same for you. -- SilvaStorm
- See Talk:Characters of Lost for why it is too early to create Anthony Cooper. I don't think that I have a grudge against you - we're just in a bad situation right now. It started when I created Tom (Lost). A few minutes after I created it, I was changing the pictures, however we both uploaded them at the same time. Then we got into a revert war over which picture to use. The reason that I kept reverting you was because I had edited out the watermark in mine and I wanted to get some credit for rewriting all of the information on Tom and originally uploading the picture when he was a part of Others (Lost). Then yours was deleted because it was practically identical and was too-high resolution and violating fair use. I thought it was over - until you re-uploaded yours for who knows why and calling it a "better pic" despite this one being the one that I uploaded under a different name with the watermark edited out. Well, that's where I'm coming from. --thedemonhog talk contributions 00:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I still think Cooper deserves his own page. -- SilvaStorm
- Fair enogh. --thedemonhog talk contributions 04:47, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's up to consensus. And right now consensus looks like keeping him on the character list. --Minderbinder 15:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your work on Paulo (Lost)
Impressive work! The page is very well-sourced, avoids "in-universe perspective", meets WP:WAF quite well... If only all the character pages were done so well. Excellent job! - SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 02:51, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
