[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Centwire.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Centwire.gif. 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. 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. BetacommandBot 14:44, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WNBC-TV logo picture (again)

At 200 pixels, the image in the infobox is TOO LARGE. It does not need to be that big, yet you insist that it remain that size. At least we got the alternate image removed, but you don't seem to get the point here. Please leave the current logo at 150 pixels. Rollosmokes 04:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Once again, you are not in charge of this article, and I would appreciate it if you discontinue your Personal Attacks. I decided to give up the fight over having two logos because they have since discontinued use of the alternate logo, but this is something that I will not budge on.

Please show me where I have personally attacked you. All I did was comment on the image -- in my opinion, it is too large at 200 pixels. Unfortunately for you, you can't seem to take this suggestion and look at it reasonably.

You claim I'm in charge of this article? Look in the cyber-mirror, sonny boy: Your response all but convicts you of WP:OWN. If necessary, I will seek outside help from an admin to solve this problem. I was on your side about the single-digit thing, but we disagree on this. Sorry, I won't be budging here either.

UPDATE: I have contacted administrator Firsfron of Ronchester in an attempt to mediate this dispute before it gets unnecessarily ugly. Rollosmokes 04:07, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Aido,
It's nice to meet you. Thank you for contributing to the article. I will ask you the same question I asked Rollosmokes: why does it matter what size the logo is? Why is 200 better than 150? Is there a reason you keep reverting? I haven't seen any explanation in your messages. I frankly do not care what size the logo is, and think this time arguing could be better spent improving the article (such as adding in-line citations), etc. Firsfron of Ronchester 05:18, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

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.

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:OGSeries.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:OGSeries.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 05:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You need to calm down...

Think about it: WNBC-TV's helicopter goes down. A rival station -- in this case, WABC-TV -- covers the event, and wins an Emmy award for its coverage. A rival station, not the affected station. Unless WNBC wins the award, then it really isn't notable in WNBC's history. That's common sense. BTW, it's also not really notable at all, given that is isn't a big news story of momumental historical significance, so I'm for deleting it (and it should stay off). Rollosmokes 21:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

"Look, you can't discuss an event like this while omitting the fact that their rival station not only captured the event, but won an Emmy."

You are missing the point here. WABC-TV's Emmy win has **nothing to do** with WNBC-TV's history. And, on the broadscope, it isn't all that notable. This is so trivial that it has to go. And there is the discussion. Rollosmokes 23:00, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit warring on WNBC

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. 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. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Firsfron of Ronchester 02:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Firsfon, see my reply on your talk page. aido2002 20:40, 9 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. Blocked for 24 hours for violation of Wikipedia's rules about edit warring and reverting to your version more than three times in a 24 hour period Firsfron of Ronchester 19:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Firsfon, you had no right to institute this block, as not only was this not an edit war, but merely me trying to follow the precedent here on Wikipedia, but you did not block Rollosmokes, when he actually did the thing you accuse me of. Blocking me is an unfairly biased move in favor of Rollosmokes, and I will be reporting you for admin abuse. aido2002 20:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Anyone can look at the history of WNBC. You both reverted to your preferred version, five times each. After I gave you each a warning, you both insisted that only the other user was edit warring. But only you reverted again (after the warning!), and there was absolutely no reason for that. Six reverts in 24 hours is certainly cause for a block. Firsfron of Ronchester 23:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
No, I did not revert again, that was not my IP (as I explained in my email.) aido2002 04:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Then my apologies. It seems unlikely that both those IP addresses are yours, given the distance between them. I have unblocked your account, assuming good faith that you will not continue this edit war, and will continue to discuss the reasons why the content you added or reverted to five times belongs in WNBC, citing the relevant policies. If you find that you're still unable to edit (because of autoblocks), please leave a message here. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 05:02, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Quotebox

I have reverted your reversion. At least two of us dislike that shade of yellow (which makes it look like a Post-it note). The use of italics is against Wikipedia style unless it's a long quote in the text itself, the title of a book or other specific circumstances. The reason is that italics are harder to read than standard text. Please discuss at Template talk:Quotebox if you feel strongly about this. Grant | Talk 01:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:UVa-selfmade-by-Uris.png

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:UVa-selfmade-by-Uris.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. MECU≈talk 13:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Today 2.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Today 2.png. 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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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. 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. Yamla 23:42, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Gmail_Screenshot.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Gmail_Screenshot.png. 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}} 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 {{non-free fair use in|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 22:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. OsamaK 22:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, go ahead.--OsamaK 22:34, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Do not bypass discussion...

On the WNBC article, you have been reverting major changes without attempting any discussion. As I'm sure you know, it is Wikipedia protocol to discuss things like that on the talk page prior to making such changes. Please refrain from bypassing discussion in the future.

What is "that"? What the heck are you talking about? You disappear for the summer, and now you come back with this message for me? Come on, get real! And, while you're at it, leave me alone unless "that" is something worth discussing. Rollosmokes 04:05, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

First of all, as I said, "that" is your reversion of edits you don't like, vandalism and legitimate edits alike, without the required discussion. Additionally, please be WP:CIVIL.

Who suddenly made you an administrator, because you sure enough sound like one. But you aren't. Just leave me the heck alone and worry about yourself. Don't act as though you're above everything because you aren't. And I have one last message for you, Mr. Wanna-Be: Don't pick fights. Rollosmokes 03:42, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Edit summary left on your recent revision of WNBC-TV:

see, Rollo, this is what I mean. If you feel strongly about several issues (such as the bolding listing the anchors, and toher things you have been reverting here) please bring it up on the talk page.

Hmm...the bolding wasn't a problem before, until YOU decided it was. Look at most every other television article...go ahead, do it...and then tell me that the use of bolding in call letters and their meanings -- which is generally done in its first mention -- is excessive. And, as Firsfron mentioned previously when he reverted back from your PREFERRED VERSION, the bolding of call letters is allowed under WP:MOSBOLD. 'Nuff said. Leave me alone. Rollosmokes 08:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image parody of US currency in Template:Econ-stub

Aido2002, parody and sarcasm can lead to misunderstandings and people taking offense. While I appreciate this form of humor in its place, Wikipedia mainspace articles aren't the place for parody and sarcasm. On August 24, you replaced a generic coin image on the economics stub template with coins stating "In Dog we Trust". I am reverting your edit because the image you used is a parody of US currency, and also because US currency is not a generic, international coin image.

I have a dog and I love her -- but I don't trust her to guide me in editing Wikipedia. Nor do most people trust their dogs in such things. Live and learn, okay? --Busy Stubber 01:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

See my reply on your talk page. aido2002talk 04:30, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
"First if all, I put that in the image just so that it would look like a face when scaled down. How often do people see it in high resolution, other than if they look at the page of the icon itself? At the size it is normally seen, it is hard to tell its a dog. Look at other icon images, you'll see they do simmilar things. aido2002talk 04:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)"
Yep, it's hard to tell at first that it's a dog -- or anything else on that small scale. But that's not my point. Please do not use parody in Wikipedia articles. Your image is a parody of US currency, and it's not a generic, international coin image, as I said before. I'm not interested in what you claim other coin images do. Your coin image is a parody of a US coin, and it's not a generic international image of a coin. Can you create a good generic and international coin image? If so, go for it! If it's good, I'll back you 100%! --Busy Stubber 02:09, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The New York Times.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The New York Times.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. Chris.B 16:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:IPod Classic.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:IPod Classic.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. 20:10, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:IPod Classic.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:IPod Classic.jpg. I noticed 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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cingular-att_logo.png. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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

Great image! Do you think you could put the shuffle on the far left, though?--HereToHelp 00:22, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you, but the image is missing the rationale. The problem is that the image page has to say which pages the image can be used in, per WP:NFCC#10c.

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}} 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 {{non-free fair use in|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 22:55, 19 November 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- RG2 22:55, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Nbculogo.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nbculogo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. Save-Me-Oprah (talk) 10:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:MacBook Air.png. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:MacBook Air final.png. The copy called Image:MacBook Air final.png has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions about this notice, or feel that the deletion is inappropriate, please contact User:Staecker, who operates the robot account. Staeckerbot (talk) 04:14, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "If it ain't broke..."

Your claim that adjusting the date format in WNBC-TV in order to make the article "compliant with Wikipedia's Manual of Style", is just as redundant as the changes you made to the article -- because the date format was already following the Manual of Style. Also, you can't do it "half were one way, half the other" -- it's either all one way or all the other. Thus, your claim falls flat. There was no need to fix them to your preference, and there was nothing broken in the article (save for that last paragraph) that needed to be fixed. Rollosmokes (talk) 08:43, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Look, it wasn't compliant, it was when I fixed it. Obviously, I'm going to change it back, and if you do the same, you are going against the Manual of Style... Plainly and simply. If you plan on replying back to me so you can yell at me, don't bother, because I will ignore it. Thanks, aido2002talkˑuserpage 22:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Have you even read Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Full date formatting, aido?
"In general, the following formats are acceptable:
  • International format: 14 February and 14 February 1991 (more common in many countries);
  • American format: February 14 and February 14, 1990 (more common in the US)."
"Articles on topics with strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation should generally use the more common date format for that nation..."
—David Levy 23:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Have you read it?
"Wikipedia does not use ordinal suffixes or articles, or put a comma between month and year...
The same format should be used in the main text, footnotes and references of each article, except for:
• dates within quotations and titles, where the original format is retained;
• explicit comparisons of date formatting."
aido2002talkˑuserpage 23:18, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
How does this pertain to your assertion that we should use the non-U.S. date format within an article about a U.S. television station? —David Levy 02:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
That's not what I was saying needs to be done--All I am saying is that it should use one style consistently, and that as per the above cited guidelines, there should be no comma in the dates. I personally don't really care which style we use, I only picked the one I did because I saw it used, and it seems to be the de facto Wikipedia standard. aido2002talkˑuserpage 20:18, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Please stop now

Your attempt to prove your point has fallen flat. Please stop reverting the WNBC page to your preferred version. Thank you very much. Rollosmokes (talk) 05:40, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I have not, and will not. Like I said, please don't post to my talk page if you only intend to yell at me. Thank you. aido2002talkˑuserpage 06:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
Sorry for chiming in, but the use of British style dates in articles about American or Canadian subjects make no sense. In my opinion, if you want to use the British method, then change every article in every American and Canadian television and radio station, not just WNBC. This is nuts. -- azumanga (talk) 00:28, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
For the third time, that's not what I'm talking about. The style guidelines say there should not be commas in the dates. That's all I am advocating. I don't care which style we use. aido2002talk·userpage 02:11, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Again, you're **still** missing the point, and you **should** care which style is used. WNBC is an American-based subject, and thus should be written from a U.S. point-of-view, and that includes dates and such.
We don't use the metric system here, nor do we use Celsius instead of Fahrenheit when taking temperature, so do you think we should use those units in place of the Imperial system? And, as Azumanga1 write, are you willing to change the date format in every single U.S.-based article? This is why your argument has no legs. Please drop it and move on. Rollosmokes (talk) 06:33, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
But that's not what I'm saying, once again! I've told you several times--My concern is not which date format we use, but the fact that it is not supposed to have commas. That is all I am saying. Once again: US or International format, not what I am concerned about. Commas (that's all), I am concerned about. Okay? I understand that we use the Imperial system--I live here too, you know. I'm not advocating changing the format to the International one, only removing the comas (i.e. January 1 2000, instead of January 1, 2000) because that is what the Manual of style says should be done. I don't know how I can make this any clearer. aido2002talk·userpage 21:35, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

You're flip-flopping, and whatever your "argument" is, it's still a weak one. First, you're nitpicking over date format, but then you change course and say it was really over the use of commas. Re-read your own comments from a WNBC edit summary: "edited dates: reformatted a few for uniformity with the others, and removed commas in them to comply with the Wikipedia manual of style." Come on now. Let it go. You're not going to win this one. Rollosmokes (talk) 06:34, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Win what? Not only am I not flip-flopping, but I don't care if I "win" or not... As long as the article is made better in the end. Besides, the discussion is over, so you can stop with the ridiculous accusations that you have made a habit of flooding my talk page with. aido2002talk·userpage 23:21, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:NYT Front Page.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:NYT Front Page.png. 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) 01:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
