Image:Blue Linckia Starfish-2-.jpg

Hi Dark jedi requiem,
I've closed the starfish nomination as a "Not Promoted". Bad luck, but don't give up! Since your edit is only used on this page and did not gain support, is it OK with you if I delete it? Thanks, --Fir0002 01:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Featured Picture nomination

Hi Dark jedi requiem,

Thank you for nominating Image:TwoJizos0053.jpg for Featured Picture. After reading some comments, I've uploaded another version of the photo and would be interested in your reactions, whether favorable or not.

Best regards,

WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates
Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements!

WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas:

  • An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style)
  • Evolving lists into regular articles
  • Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections)
  • Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members
  • More to come

These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles.

Things to do
There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving!
Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives
Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.
Article evolution

As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort.

For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article.

Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future!

Signed...

Unspecified source for Image:Youth group.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Youth group.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 an argument 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 {{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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 23:14, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 14 August 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Naso vlamingii, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Well done! A nice little article. On the main page now. Cheers -- Samir धर्म 06:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On 19 August 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Acanthurus achilles, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Rise Records

An article which you have been involved with editing, Rise Records, has been proposed for deletion. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 01:20, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

The new version looks much better; as a general guideline, I would make sure a record label had at least one or two bands (current or former) that had keepable articles on here before writing the record label article. (I haven't checked whether this one has that or not.) With this article, the main thing you need to do is to disambiguate the links to the bands. For example, use [[Catherine (band)|Catherine]] instead of [[Catherine]], which redirects to Katherine and is clearly not what we want. Your contribution history is much more impressive than I was expecting, you should know what to do by now. ;-) Grandmasterka 05:45, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kennewickmanstanford.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kennewickmanstanford.jpg. The image description 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.

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.

Tomato Head Records

I have to say I still don't see how the article passes WP:CORP based on what I have seen of search results and what is written in the article. I'm actually in the midst of this same discussion with another editor. He advances that if a label releases a single album that is notable (which in turn relies on whether or not the band that released it is notable), the label is notable. I'm extremely skeptical of that position. If you'd like to say anything on the topic to me that might sway me, let me know. As of now, I'm still considering what to do with articles like this one that I don't believe are notable. Erechtheus 04:41, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Emo Music

Hey, I've noticed you recently contributed to The Used talk page - would you be interested in participating in the new Wiki project I've started exactly for the reason of improving articles on alike bands? I mean - yesterday The Used were rock band, now they're back to emo/post-hardcore - the point of the project is to draw the line on what music was and what music is emo and to give the bands their appropriate label. You can find more on the Front Page about how to it could possibly be achieved. Iceness 23:12, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for joining! If you think you can help - please check the Talk Page of the project. Iceness 13:04, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Welcome to Esperanza!

Welcome, Dark jedi requiem, to Esperanza! As you might know, all the Esperanzians share one important goal: the success of this encyclopedia. Within that, we then attempt to strengthen the community bonds, and be the "approachable" side of the project. All of our ideals are held in the Charter, the governing document of the association.

Now that you are a member you should read the guide to what to do now or you may be interested in some of our programs. A quite important program is Stressbusters, which seeks to support editors who have encountered any stress from their Wikipedia events, and are seeking to leave the project. So far, Esperanza can be credited with the support and retention of several users. We will send you newsletters to keep you up to date. Also, we have a calendar of special events, member birthdays, and other holidays that you can add to and follow.

In addition to these projects, several more missions of Esperanza are in development, and are currently being created at Esperanza/Proposals.

If you have any other questions, concerns, comments, or general ideas, Esperanzian or otherwise, know that you can always contact Natalya by email or talk page. Consider introducing yourself at the Esperanza talk page! Alternatively, you could communicate with fellow users via our IRC channel, #wikipedia-esperanza (which is also good for a fun chat or two :). If you're new to IRC, you may find help at an IRC tutorial. I thank you for joining Esperanza, and look forward to working with you in making Wikipedia a better place to work!

May the Force be with you! Shreshth91 07:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Editor review

Glad to have helped. Two things about the image: a regular picture that is free is, in most cases, better than a good fair use one, and second, I believe Commons administrator review the different free images uploaded in Wikipedia and move them to Commons when they consider them necessary. Since apparently there is no free image about that fish in the repository, it may be moved someday, however I am not really sure about what they take into account to do that. Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 17:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.

What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
The last AC meeting (full log)
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.
Signed...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Image:Stretch Arm Strong press photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Stretch Arm Strong press photo.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:

  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 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. --Chowbok 19:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but I disagree. I've added plenty of decent concert photos taken by fans; see for instance Adrian Belew, David Sanborn, Bauhaus, Ray Charles, David J, and Mr. Quintron. Maybe they're not as good as professional promo photos, but guess what—the text of a lot of our articles isn't up to professional standards either. Doesn't mean we should start copying articles from Britannica. —Chowbok 05:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
I think the Bauhaus photo captures the spirit of the band in a way that all the promo photos have not, actually. But to each his own. I know you didn't say that the articles are good. I was using a metaphor. And you're right, we do copy from the public domain edition of Britannica—and if you find a public domain photo of Stretch Arm Strong, upload it with my blessing. —Chowbok 06:09, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Two questions:
1. Why do they all have to be in the same picture? Why can't we make a composite of photos of the individual members?
2. Why are you assuming the only way to get a freely-licensed photo of a band is to take a photo of them in concert? Have you tried writing Stretch Arm Strong's management to see if they'll release this or some other photo under the GFDL or equivalent? —Chowbok 06:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Talking about liklihood of lawsuits really kinda misses the point, at least for me. The goal here is to create a freely-redistributable encylopedia. Every fair-use image we have takes us further from that. I don't think writing every notable band's management for a free photo is as impossible as you think, considering how many editors we have. And we also have a fair amount of clout that we didn't use to have—the Wikipedia article is in the top 3 Google hits for so many individuals and bands, and no good publicist will want to ignore that. But aside from all that, the question is, what's more important to you: having an encyclopedia that is free for anyone to copy, or pretty pictures? Only one of those two goals appears in Wikipedia's five pillars and Wales's Statement of Principles, and that's the one I go for in a conflict. —Chowbok 16:03, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Please don't remove the tag. I remain convinced that this is replaceable fair use. If you want to make your case to the admins, please do so on the talk page, and they'll make the final decision. —Chowbok 20:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Alternative Press

Go ahead and put it back then. However there is a difference between the fox news page citing its slogan, and a multi sentence opinion of the company by the company. Maybe you can find some middle ground, but I wouldn't be bothered if you felt it should be reverted. Hoponpop69 05:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)


Thank You

I too recently became involved in a rather circular and, to my way of thinking, pointless fair use imbroglio (to call it a dispute is to give it too much weight) with User:Chowbok. My wiki-fu is not as strong as yours, but I hope that more strong Wikipedians will get involved on the side of legitimate, safe and sane fair useage, especially of promotional photos -- which, after all, exist soley to be fairly used. Anyhow, I very much appreciated/enjoyed your comments on User talk:Chowbok, and strongly support them. Jenolen 11:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Marine life

Yeah, i am still interested. I joined it a few months ago with the aim to do the same as you - restart it. I did a bit but then i got more involved with Wikiprojects Cetaceans and Sharks. I will gladly lend a hand here and there whenever needed, and will probably try and get some of the stuff working like on those other projects such as the assessments and COTW. Chris_huhtalk 23:07, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

More replaceable fair use images

Chowbok 20:29, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Response

I'm not "ignoring everybody's concerns", I'm doing what I think is best despite the fact that some people disagree with me. There are plenty of people that agree with me, too. I could just as easily say that you're "ignoring everybody's concerns" by uploading unnecessary fair-use photos and needlessly encumbering what should be a mostly freely-distributable encyclopedia. I don't say things like that because I know you're doing what you think is best for Wikipedia, even though I disagree with it.

As far as a policy, I think the policy is already in place, and has been. For a long time the first fair use criterion says that a fair use image should not be used if a freely-licensed photo "could be created". It's right there in the first sentence. I'm not sure why I have to keep arguing this with people when it's so plainly stated.

I'm sorry you feel I'm tearing down your hard work, but I believe I'm working to improve the encyclopedia just as much as I would be with any text editing. You really shouldn't view it as a slap in the face, that's not at all what's intended. At the same time, we shouldn't continue to violate policy so that we won't hurt anyone's feelings. —Chowbok 16:20, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't agree that only the text is supposed to be redistributed. That's an odd interpretation, and one that I don't think is supported by any WP mission-statement–like texts.
Your list isn't terribly representative; the people who agree with me aren't posting on my talk page complaining about my actions. I'll point out that nearly every image I've nominated for deletion that's been processed has indeed been deleted. That means that most of the admins processing this stuff agree with me. Not that right and wrong is determined by majority vote.
Anyway, you're really wasting your time arguing with me about this. I'm just a turtle named Mack. Your gripe is with the honchos. —Chowbok 05:52, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Marine Life Wikiproject

Hello! :) Unfortunately, I have been somewhat busy of late. I'm not sure how much time I could dedicate to the Marine Life Wikiproject, but I will certainly keep it in my list of things to check periodically. :)

Replacethisimage

Because nobody pays any attention to {{replacethisimage}}. For instance, see Image:Vectra1.jpg; that's had a replacethisimage tag since March, and nobody's bothered to replace it, despite that it would be trivial to do so. Why not? Because we already have one. Also, people give you a lot of crap when you replace a promotional photo of a band with a free one. —Chowbok 00:55, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy notice on articles

The template says to do that; take it up at Template talk:Replaceable fair use if you're against it. —Chowbok 01:56, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Your message came out garbled, but just read the template. It says to add {{subst:refu-c}}, to image captions, and that's what I'm doing. And I'm not "messing up user boxes"; I forgot one pipe on one userbox, which you could have just as easily fixed instead of giving me a hard time over what was obviously a typo. —Chowbok 02:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
I know I messed up the userbox; I just said that. It was a typo. Do you normally simply fix typos you find in articles, or do you typically look at the history to find out who made the mistakes and yell at them at their talk pages? If the former, I would appreciate it if you would also extend that courtesy to me. —Chowbok 02:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

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:

  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 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. --Abu Badali 16:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I have begun RfC procedures for User:Chowbok. Since you've had previous disputes with him about image uploads, maybe you'd like to add your commentary? [1] TheQuandry 16:31, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
