[edit] Hip hop

Hi, see you're interested in hip hop? That's a good thing cause there is a lot of work to do here. Be bold when editing. Happy edits, Julien Tuerlinckx 10:54, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] playwright-stub

The {{playwright-stub}} is deprecated and in the process of being removed. In the future please use {{writer-stub}} (or one of the subtypes based on region or nationality). If the author is primarily known for writing for the theatre then also using the {{theat-stub}} is recommended. Caerwine 09:30, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Liberalism in ..

You suggested to merge a lot of articles in the liberalism in ... series in the Liberalism article. SInce this content wouldn't fit into this article and the intention of the article is totally different, I don't think this suggestion is good. Since there is no good place to discuss the item, it is better to delete the merge message. Electionworld 07:04, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

But there are articles on Elections in .., etc. It is linked to liberalism, but it doesn't fit into the main article. Electionworld 22:31, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
It would become an extreme large article. In that article there was made a choiced to refer to the national articles. I see no advantage of merging the articles. - Electionworld 22:11, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] all that glitters

I removed that credit because Family Business does not use a sample of the Death In Vegas song, but both that song and Family Business use the same sample from another song. I'll try to find out what that song is. --Shawn88 09:58, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Singer-stub-image

Hi, you uploaded Image:Singerdraw.gif and labelled it PD - very nice drawing. Did you make the drawing yourself, and released it into the public domain? I was planning to transfer it to Commons, so I can use it for a singer-stub in Swedish Wikipedia. However, to do that I need to know who made the drawing. / Habj 20:08, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

I can't put it on commons then. Too bad. / Habj 22:48, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Black pepper changes

Hi, Jaysscholar! You should take a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), which says 'Capitalise the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest lower case. Thus "Rules and regulations", not "Rules and Regulations".' —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:00, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Centrism

I noticed you're politically centrist. You may be interested in Category:Moderate Wikipedians. Listing can, of course, be achieved by adding moderate to your babel box, or by adding {{User moderate}}, or [[Category:User moderate]]. Et cetera. firenexx 15:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Hello, I might be wrong, but I think you have put your User page into the incorrect category. Your in the category for Wikipedians from Georgia, the country in Eastern Europe. If you are in fact from Georgia the US state, you need to move yourself to Category:Wikipedians in Georgia, USA. Thank you. Philip Stevens 19:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

  • In response to this from my talk page:
    Tags need to be supported with information on what the source of the image is, if there isn't a source there's no way to verify it's a promotional image. --Wgfinley 13:55, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
    And that site appears to be an unreliable repository of copyvios (copyright holder watermarks are visible on many of them). Without a source for the image (i.e. who owns the rights to it) its an unlicensed image and not something we can use. --Wgfinley 05:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stacey Dash

I removed the tags because it's 3 (almost 4) paragraphs and I just don't think it qualifies as a stub. It has full information on her career, her family and other things. Does it have alot of detail? No. But for an actress who has been basically a b-list actress for most of her career, I think it's sufficient to be considered a full article. --Woohookitty(meow) 15:19, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

This edit is a violation of copyright. Magazine covers may only be used to illustrate the publication of the issue of the magazine in question. Here, you are using it to depict Stuff generally. --Yamla 21:53, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing for vandalism of Wikipedia. If you wish to make useful contributions, you may do so after the block expires.

--Yamla 19:56, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock

The Image:Staceydash.jpg was in a magazine and I was activly trying to get the right copyright info as seen on Wikipedia_talk:Image_use_policy#Magazine_Pictures. I put the proper descrition on it and had it label has promo and was pursuing if i should put something more specific. Why ban me when I'm activly pursuing the proper identification??
I also did not upload Image:Feverpromo4.jpg. I merely took {{Jay-Z}} off of it because it did not belong.
On the Stuff magazine article, I do not think it is unreasonable for me to assume that putting a magazine cover on a article about the magazine is ok. if it should only be used for that particular issue, then tell me that and direct me to the proper wikiproject so i can discuss it with the approiate people. I think a banning is a bit harsh. It was a fair assumption on my part. Direct me to the proper project.
If you see someone who is genuinly trying to improve wikipedia and has made a couple of mistakes (one of which he was actively pursuing the proper course of action), then you should direct that user to the proper areas, not ban them.

I've left a note for the blocking admin regarding Image:Feverpromo4.jpg. Regarding the other image and your comments regarding being able to use fiar use for magazine covers. Firstly as above we may have a fair use claim for magazine covers for use illustrating an article about the magazine, not for general use to illustrate the subject of that cover. General magazine content is the same, we could possibly have a fair use claim to illustrate the magazine itself, but not the subject of the photo. Use of promotional tags is for where the material has been released specifically for publicity purpose, although some magazine photos maybe those generally they will be photos taken specifically for the magazine and not generally released for any other use. See Wikipedia:Publicity_photos "Note that the above only applies to photos that are explicitly distributed for publicity purposes, and does not apply to most photographs of celebrities". --pgk(talk) 20:24, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
To add to this, you say you uploaded then were checking on if it was ok or not or you needed more... I would suggest that this is the wrong way around, in future find out all you need and if it is a usable image *before* uploading. --pgk(talk) 20:27, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Unblocked. I am sorry for blocking you when it turns out that you did not upload that image. However, please follow Pgk's advice above. Please do not upload images unless you are sure it would be usable. --Yamla 15:47, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Jada Fire.jpg

You haven't responded to my question of where I should send some clips of Jada Fire's bondage video, so I'm guessing you don't really want them. If I'm mistaken, please respond soon and give me an e-mail address to send them to. Jada69 01:58, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Magazine pictures

You said: "thx for unblocking me. Now where do I go to figure out the correct labeling of that pic?? I asked here but noone has responded. I thought I'd asked since it seems to be your area. The pic was out of a magazine. I put promo but that seems to be wrong."

We may not use magazine pictures from inside a magazine. There is no fair-use rationale. Barring exceptional circumstances, this would be a violation of copyright. --Yamla 16:33, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
You said: "Really?? What do you mean "fair-use rationale"? Anybody can pick up a mag off the stand and skim through and see it so I would assume its fair-use. You may have a better understanding though. Where would I go to argue this?"
No, the situations are entirely different. In your example, it is debateably fair-use because at least theoretically, you are considering whether or not to buy the magazine. In the case of Wikipedia, we cannot use the image because we are not using it to depict the publication of the particular issue of the magazine (and the cover would be the appropriate image to use if we were). The magazines pay substantial amounts of money for the images that appear inside of them and they very firmly exercise their copyrights over them. We can't just go about using someone else's copyrighted material. If you are an intellectual property lawyer, I can put you in touch with Wikipedia's legal staff where you can argue the case. Otherwise, there's not really much else you can do. Wikipedia's legal staff have already ruled on this issue. --Yamla 16:45, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm. The cover is fair-use to describe the issue, so could the pic be fair-use to describe the person in the image? --Jaysscholar 16:50, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
No. Imagine there's a cover of, say, Playboy with Jennifer Aniston on it. And furthermore, this cover generates a lot of controversy. You could now use a scan of that cover in the article on Jennifer Anison but only in the section of the article that talks about the controversy. You could not use it as the first picture right at the top-right of the page, for example. But let us look at another cover. Jennifer Anison on the cover of Cosmo. No controversy, no discussion of that particular issue in the Jennnifer Aniston article. That image could NOT be used in the article, then, because it would simply be used to depict the person and that is not fair-use. --Yamla 17:14, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Ok, what about if there is a pic in a magazine and she is just simply modeling. no controversy or anything. regular modeling. can this image be used in a section describing how she has modeled in magazines, when she is mainly an actress? could the cover? could an image within the magazine? --Jaysscholar 17:21, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
No, such an image could not be used at all. The cover could be used if there's a specific discussion of that particular issue of the magazine. No image within the magazine could be used. --Yamla 17:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Template:Infobox musical artist

Thanks, but we started implementing this template quite a while ago (you can see it on the feature articles I keep an eye on, The Supremes, The Temptations, Sly & the Family Stone, and The Jackson 5). It's going okay, although there are always problems with Wikipedia editors who think this is a personal playground or free fansite hosting. --FuriousFreddy 23:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Lupe Fiasco

Image:LupeFiascoBillboard.jpg is not discussed in the article, just mentioned. The magazine cover license says: "Note: It is not acceptable to use images with this tag in the article of the person or persons depicted on the cover, unless used directly in connection with the publication of this image." "Directly in connection" means it is a notable cover about the artist and it is widely discussed in the article of the person in the cover. -feydey 19:10, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Regina King.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Regina King.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.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:US Janet.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:US Janet.jpg. 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.

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. Yamla 16:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Stannered 22:29, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Info2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Info2.jpg. 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 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 16:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of John Alvarez

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on John Alvarez, by Cquan, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because John Alvarez 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 John Alvarez, 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 John Alvarez 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 18:27, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Dead Prez.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Dead Prez.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 {{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.

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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. east.718 10:46, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Beautiful Mix CD

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article The Beautiful Mix CD, 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 explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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 endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Spellcast 20:15, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Tamar05.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Tamar05.jpg. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 02:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih 02:42, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
