[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky or even vandalizing. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 23:50, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:I Dream of Jeannie S4.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:I Dream of Jeannie S4.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 05:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image use

I've communicated with you regarding the policies supporting fair use image gallery removal from a large number of articles. I've directed you to those policies, explanation pages, and via them to past debates regarding this issue that have supported the removal. Despite this, you've continued reverting the removals [1]. Why? Simply, this isn't acceptable behavior. The galleries are against policy and will remain removed. If you feel this is improper, then feel free to take it up at WP:AN/I. Continuing to edit war over this is not an option. If you have questions about this, I am happy to answer but continuing in the manner you are conducting this is inappropriate. Please reconsider your actions. Thank you, --Durin 19:18, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I just don't understand if the images have sources to show where they come from (majority come from tvshowsondvd.com) then what is the big deal? People really enjoy visuals, it not only improves the site and makes it look neater, but enhances the article as a whole. Jdcrackers 21:30, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Because we are a free content encyclopedia. It's that simple. There isn't anything complex about this. Our purpose here is to create content under a free license. Copyrighted works detract from that mission. We thus use them as sparingly as we can. Liberal use of DVD covers in lists of DVD releases does little for the article. Most sets of DVD releases have covers that are virtually identical to one another. We don't need to see eleven slightly different covers for MASH for example; it's pointless. Focus on free content, not whether something looks pretty or not. --Durin 03:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • So that being said does that mean we can no longer post any DVD cover art at all? What about Album, single, and Pictures of Celebrities? Jdcrackers 23:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Episode lists

Will you consider updating the Bewitched episode list to use the 'episode list' template? It recommended for it to be used at Wikipedia:WikiProject Television and Wikipedia:WikiProject Television/Episode coverage. You may even want to add {{User WP TV}} and/or {{User TV Eps}} to your user page to show your participation. I've also started a List of Green Acres episodes using a rainbow color sequence for the seasons. - Andyross 22:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:9.21.07 Alice Ghostley.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:9.21.07 Alice Ghostley.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] Release date for Madonna's next album

Hi there, you recently edited the article on Madonna's forthcoming album, changing the release date to June 2008. Your edit note says this is based on info from Warner. I was interested to track down the source, and if somewhere on line, provide a link to it within the article itself. Thanks. JKW111 (talk) 00:59, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Many Thanks. I wish it were earlier. No doubt Warner will take its time to make sure the new record will get them as much money as possible before she leaves them. JKW111 (talk) 02:33, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
Im not sure about the 3cd thing - this has been a rumour for ages. At first it was that it woudl be released Sep this year, but that obviosuly never happened. In any case, Sept next year it really 25 years since the release fo the first album, so that woudl make sense. AS for content, there was an old post on a blog that said it would be a best of remixes album, with the follwoing included:

Hollywood (Blow Up Mix )

- Get Together (S-Man's Fired Up Remix)
- American Life (Layo & Bushwaka Mix)
- Sorry (Martijn Ten Velden Remix)
- Jump (Stephan Grondin Stereo Mix)
- Forbidden Love (Peter Rauhofer Forbidden Club)
- Love Profusion (John Creamer & Stephane K Remix)
- Future Lovers (Peter Rauhofer Reconstruction)
- Hung Up (Ralphi Rosario Remix)
- Vogue (Tracy Young's Aditude Mix)
- Erotica (Peter Rauhofer Anthem)
- Deeper And Deeper (David Morales Mix)
- Secret (Paul Oakenfold Remix)
- Bedtime Story (Victor Calderone Club Mix)
- Frozen (Sebastian Leger Remix)
- Ray Of Light (Axwell Remix)
- Skin (The Collaboration Mix)
- Music (Kobbe & Austin Leeds Remix)
- Don't Tell Me (Starkillers Remix)
- Impressive Instant (Rauhofer's Universal Club Mix)
At the time, and still now, I have some doubts about this - not inly becasue the songs all seem wrong for the full 25 years, but also way too early to be known i woudl think. I'm also not sure if a 3cd covering the entire career makes sense - presumably the first two discs would just be repeats of Immac Coll and GHV2??? I think maybe they woudl do something more interesting such as remixes, or amybe even one of the cd has all previosuly unreleased songs.
But in any case, apparently there will be something - this I think has been confirmed by M's publicist around the time of the Live Nation rumours ... technically M's contract with wanrer requires another 2 releases, and the plan it that the second of these will be a compliation work not a new studio material. But basically I think Warner will make the decision on whatever is in their interests. Apparently planning is already underway for a tour next year (latest i heard was to start in london in late May), so I woudlnt be surprised if the compliation was released during the tour to cash in.
A while ago I was thinking of starting a wiki page on the compliation album, but i think its too early at this stage, given anything coudl happen between now and then.
Cheers. JKW111 (talk) 04:46, 18 November 2007 (UTC)


Not sure about video compilation. Maybe the 3 cds include a dvd. Here in Australia, our late night music program Rage about once every year or two plays every Madonna vid ever made - it goes for over six hours. The BA tour was screened by MTV back in 1990 (from barcelona) so is definitely around, probably on unofficial DVD by now. Actually i can vaguely recall seeing it on laser disc many many years ago. The only footage ive seen of complete RIT is on youtube filmed by audience. JKW111 (talk) 23:40, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

I like ... umm.. well.. I can't decide. no favourites. I am defintiely looking forward to next tour - supposedly she's coming back to Australia - the last time i saw her was in 93 in sydney, so yes, 15 years later i will get another chance. Im sure it will be worth the wait.JKW111 (talk) 01:27, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Licorice

Hey there - not sure which link you meant, maybe someone has fixed it. If not, let me know. On the new single, everything I know is on this blog site. Cheers, Paul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JKW111 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] more madonna music

Hey there - messages on christmas day?? you must be hardcore. Ive been away for 5 days. I think Im breathles is a studio album, but the consensus on wikipedia disagrees. i dont think its a soundtrack, as there was an official soundtrack to the movie, which didnt include any madonna songs. also, theres more non-movie songs than not, so ... in australia, american pie was included on 'music' and die another day was included on American life, so the mere inclusion of movie songs doesnt mae it a soundtrack - i think the thing that has got people worked up is the 'music from and inspred by' line. i think that was more of a marketing thing rather than classifying the album. but anyway, the jury has said no, so its included as a soundtrack on here.

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Madonna-Secret-37494.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Madonna-Secret-37494.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 01:42, 4 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ohfathercover.jpeg

Thank you for uploading Image:Ohfathercover.jpeg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
