[edit] Publicity photos

Hello. Just to give you a heads up that images downloaded from mlb.com (for example BradThomas.jpg) or other sites probably do not qualify as a promotional item. The terms of use from mlb.com states in part the following. All materials distributed in the Website (the "Materials") are either owned by or licensed to MLBAM. MLBAM and its licensors retain all proprietary rights to the Materials. Except for downloading one copy of the Materials on any single computer for your personal, non-commercial home use, you must not reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, perform or display the Materials without first obtaining the written permission of MLBAM.

Other web sites will have similar restrictions. Drop me a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. No Guru 03:47, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:PatBorders.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PatBorders.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.

[edit] Championship categories

Hey, just a quick kudos for your World Series championship categories. Very nice idea!  :) —Wknight94 (talk) 03:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

As useful as it may seem at first, I thought I'd ask a question I posted to Floydspinky71's talk page last month: Are the categories for members of World Series champions really necessary? I can't help thinking it would be more economical to simply include the roster of the champion team in the article for that year's World Series (most of the WS articles could use some serious expansion). There's already something of a glut of categories on some articles, including those for baseball players with numerous All-Star appearances. (Between All-Star games and WS champions alone, Yogi Berra would end up with 25 categories, in addition to another 15 already on his page.) I don't think it's advantageous to have that many categories on an article; at some point, it gets difficult to wade through them, and individual categories become easy to miss. MisfitToys 21:57, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Major leaguers from <state>

Hi. I like the "Major league players from <state>" categories but you should probably make sure to remove the existing "People from <state>" category as well. Those become redundant since Major league players from <state> is a subcategory of "People from <state>". The example I saw is Howard Johnson (baseball player) which now says he's from Florida and that he's a Major league baseball player from Florida. Keep up the good work! —Wknight94 (talk) 21:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

You had labeled this image as {{Promotional}}, but it is not an image from a press kit. It appears to be a photograph by a professional photographer, who makes his living by selling his photographs. I don't think we can claim fair use if we're going to take his photograph and use it without his permission to illustrate the football player in question. —Bkell (talk) 09:14, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chuck Arnason

Instead of just wiping out the Colorado Rockies category from the Arnason article, why not put him in the correct one (i.e. Category:Colorado Rockies (NHL) players? BoojiBoy 14:16, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Entrance music

I looked in the article history and saw you contributed to the List of baseball entrance music page. The article is currently being considered for deletion.

[edit] Request for opinion

I'd prefer not to drag other people into this, but could you have a look at the discussion at Talk:Jake Daubert? I'd be most interested in additional opinions in the dispute between me and Tecmobowl as to the article content. MisfitToys 20:59, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:AndreEthier.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:AndreEthier.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. howcheng {chat} 21:34, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:DamianMoss.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:DamianMoss.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:

  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. MECU≈talk 17:02, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of José R. Díaz

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on José R. Díaz, by Tecmobowl, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because José R. Díaz seems 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting José R. Díaz, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate José R. Díaz itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 06:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:JeffWilliams.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 00:59, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ben Kozlowski

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ben Kozlowski, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Ben Kozlowski.
