From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To answer your question in the Talk page for the Dr Manhattan (band) article ("how do I add a picture to the Infobox?"):

Put these in the infobox (of course, replace the Maria Carey image name and caption with your own):

Img = Mariah Carey13 Edwards  Dec 1998.jpg
Img_capt = Mariah Carey performing in 1998

That's assuming you've already uploaded the image. For more info read this. -Eisnel 22:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I have a couple more questions though. How do I get rid of the text before and after the picture? And why is there two captions?

[edit] Notability of Flowers for Dorian

A tag has been placed on Flowers for Dorian, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. Eggy49er 01:39, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but, I'm going to have to ask what I'm missing, because I'm sure I can provide it, but it would be a great help if you could explain it to a further extent. Like, what did I forget to put in? Thank you.Alkalinetrio78 01:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Possibly unfree Image:For Lonely Lest The Wiser Album Cover.jpg

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:For Lonely Lest The Wiser Album Cover.jpg, 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 the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Corvus cornixtalk 23:25, 2 December 2007 (UTC).

Please read WP:CP#Copyright_owners_who_submitted_their_own_work_to_Wikipedia. Corvus cornixtalk 23:31, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia can't host copyrighted material without evidence that the copyright owner hs approved itse release. You uploaded it with a pd-self tag which indicates that you are the copyright holder of the image, which you've admitted isn't true. There is a tag for album covers which works under Fair use rules, so you could change the tag, but I don't remember what the tag is. As for the band, see WP:BAND. In order to meet Wikipedia's notability requirements, a band has to have two albums on a notable label, have had a major national tour, or be a notable representative of their genre. Does this band meet those requirements? Corvus cornixtalk 23:38, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Has their single charted on a major chart? If so, that would make them qualify. Otherwise, they don't qualify until their album actually comes out. Corvus cornixtalk 23:43, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You can replace the pd-album tag with {{Non-free album cover}}, but then you need a rationale as well, specifically indicating the name of the article that the image would go in, and why you think the album cover is needed to illustrate the image. See other album image pages for examples of a rationale. Corvus cornixtalk 23:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Will you explain to me why that is? - That's the rules for Wikipedia band notability. We get garage bands all the time that people insist are the next great thing, so we need specific rules to point to -- "they meet this rule", for example. If they meet any of the rules at WP:BAND, then they would qualify. Corvus cornixtalk 23:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I agree, they don't look like they're a garage band, I'm just pointing out why the WP:BAND notability rules apply. Standards for notability have to be objective. Corvus cornixtalk 23:52, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't see how, unless their single has charted. Has it? But then, I'm not an admin, so some admin may come along and see the speedy deletion tag I put on the article, and decide that they disagree with me. Corvus cornixtalk 23:55, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I haven't checked them out yet. I will later. I think we're going to have to wait till their album comes out, then the article can be recreated. Unless, like I said, an admin disagrees with me. Corvus cornixtalk 23:57, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

No, sorry, I can't do that without proof of notability.  :) Nice try.  :) Corvus cornixtalk 00:03, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
