Thank you for your welcome! Those links I've had a chance to check out so far are very informative and thought-provoking; some support what I intuited, others are shaping my understanding of this site. I look forward to exploring them all in their entirety. I value the resource of Wikipedia, and hope that my contributions benefit others who do as well, in their accuracy, truth, detail, and appropriateness.

[edit] Forever Young

Because Forever Young is a disambiguation page, I merely cut it down to a list of articles with the same name. —tregoweth (talk) 21:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Drn - red titles.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Drn - red titles.gif. 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. 08:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Drn - red titles.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Drn - red titles.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Branigan sol12.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Branigan sol12.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 07:08, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

I had included a rationale in the File Summary, but apparently only computers decide these things. All the more reason the issue of something as simple as an album cover should be a simple, all-purpose template and the bots called off their scent. Don't you remember reading encyclopedias and textbooks when you were a kid? Ideally every page features a photograph, diagram or other image of the subject; studies show that both initial understanding and memory recall are greatly aided when visual elements accompany text or speech. Given the visual nature of the internet, pages without images are old-fashioned, dull throwbacks to the internet's early days, or the days when color printing was too expensive and so not in common practice in newspapers and books. So often substandard info appears throughout the web accompanied by splashy photos; it is a public service to associate the accurate info at Wiki with a similar image(s).

[edit] a-ha

i've tried to search on their album and i can't se that the album has been certified. And if this is true please give me some sources. The discography is nominated list so i don't want any unclear facts okay. I hope this is okay with you. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 12:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

You where right. sorry. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 12:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I know you're right i've checked it out on the BPI. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 13:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Another thing is, if you want to you can help me with the a-ha and it's related articles. Mostly the a-ha page, the discography and their debut album. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 13:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Actually, I already have done some editing to the main a-ha article, you can review my work by clicking the "history" tab and selecting my edit on the right and the previous version below it on the left and clicking "Compare selected versions" (sorry if you already know that, I know you're new and while much is self-evident, I know it took me awhile to figure out certain things, and there are still things I'm just discovering). I've got to go now, but tomorrow I'll give the debut album page a look. If you have anything in particular you'd like some help with or some input on, feel free to continue this conversation here or, once you've alerted me, on the talk page of the article in question, otherwise I'll give it a general clean-up as I did with the main a-ha article, and we can discuss any major changes. Great to have you as an interested and knowledgeable editor involved in the a-ha pages! Talk soon. Abrazame (talk) 13:58, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
May need some help on Scoundrel Days and later i'm going to work Stay on These Roads and East of the Sun, West of the Moon okay. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 21:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

"Love Is Reason" didn't have a music video and yes i agree with you. Now i'm talking about your comment. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 14:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Good job on Hunting High and Low. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 16:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
Can you help me find a reliable source for a-ha sales number. I need it for the a-ha discography. --Alive Would? Sun (talk) 16:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
