[edit] NeutralHomer

Please refrain from making personal attacks, like you did there. NeutralHomer is a very good contributer to wikipedia. Wikipedia needs people like him to un-cover fair use/copyright violations. Fair use is a very strict law. AMS seals on local news articles is a violation of fair use. WP:IMAGE, Please read it.--trey 15:03, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Trey is right, the AMS and NWS seals are fair-use images and using them on each and every page is in violation of the fair use rule. Personally, I think it looks nice, but it is in violation. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 16:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

No apologizes necessary. :) Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 16:50, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Epcot Timeline

I'm afraid I have to disagree. It contains way too much detail, and the vast majority of it should be in the articles for the respective pavilions. That's the reason I made sure every single listing was wiki-linked. The average reader doesn't care when Version A of IllumiNations ended and when Version B began; if they did, they could read the IllumiNations article, which is where said information belongs. I agree that it did get small, but frankly there hasn't been that many changes to the park as a whole. A grand total of seven pavilions have been added, two have been eliminated and a third has been "decommissioned," so to speak. Yes, individual attractions within the pavilions have changed off and on since opening day 25 years ago; again, that belongs inside the pavilion articles.

If we take this tach, where does it end? What if someone comes up with dates when specific CommuniCore/InnoVentions exhibits opened or closed, or when pavilion sponsorship changed? In a typical amusement park article, a timeline would probably include when individual attractions would be added or removed. Epcot, however, isn't a typical amusement park. It's more akin to a museum, with rotating and evolving exhibits. Similarly, the article for the Museum of Modern Art, for example, doesn't list every single work in the museum, or when themed exhibits rotate in or out. It does list noteworthy parts of its collection.

I'm all for compromise, and I would enjoy hearing your thoughts and opinions on this. There should be a criteria that keeps the timeline from getting quite so short, but one that keeps it from drowning in its own information. This needs to be an encyclopedic article, not a fanboy page, in my opinion.

I know we both have the same thing in mind, making the article as good as it can be, so I appreciate that you didn't suggest my edits were not in good faith. I hope to hear from you, and thanks. --McDoobAU93 22:17, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I saw your changes and think we're on our way to a good compromise. It does read a lot better now, but still has some culling that could be made, I think. Looking at what's left, here's what I think should come out:

Spaceship Earth's narration changes (belong in the parent article)
The saga of the Mickey wand. It should be listed as being added in 1999, but every date about its demolition really isn't needed. That said, the 1999 listing for the Mickey wand should say that it was completely removed in August 2007. The old infobox picture showing the wand would be a great addition to this subheading.
Horizons being open in September 1999. Disney maintains its closing date is January '99. I'm not saying it wasn't open on that day (I don't know either way), but a "media day" event generally isn't considered noteworthy, IMO.
Mission:Space's opening date is August 15, 2003, give or take. Look at my revision where I culled the timeline the first time, as the revert took it back to October 2003. August is the date that Disney is using for it (I can get a source, if you need it).
O Canada listing is basically a narrator change
Sponsorship changes

The 25th Anniversary listing is, in retrospect, appropriate and just needs some grammar and punctuation corrections. Again, thanks for your work. I'm planning on visiting Epcot tonight to at least see the special IllumiNations run. --McDoobAU93 17:28, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Afterburn.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Afterburn.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Wwwb.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Wwwb.gif. 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) 03:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Simpsons logo 200.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Simpsons logo 200.jpg. 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. BJBot (talk) 04:29, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
