[edit] Daniel Cardoso

We can't seem to upload a picture from Daniel Cardoso. We noticed you did it with Kris Rygg, but everytime we upload one from Danil it gets deleted. Can you please help us? If possible just take it from Daniel's MySpace and upload it on his wikipedia page. Thank you

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Mindpre2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mindpre2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Sherool (talk) 00:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] ICS Vortex

Just wanted to notify you. Vortex was not performing on Stormblåst (re-recorded) because Shagrath and Silenoz decided to do the job themselves with the help from Hellhammer. You remove the record from his discography list I didn't want to temper the article (Vandalize it) since you did most work for it. I think he had nothing to do with the Stormblast promo either but I don't know??? See ya! Death2 21:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Avant-garde

Hello again Karpsmom. I wanted to say that I've added some comments on the Talk:Avant_garde_metal page. I know you work on that subject and related bands so I just wanted to notify you. If you have some time please read that. You can give me a couple of comments too if you'd like.

On another matter I would like to ask for your help if you know something about this. Is Blasphemers (Mayhem, aura noir guitarist) real name Rune Erickson or Rune Eriksen. (see Talk:Mayhem (band) for more info on this). And also what is going on with Ved Buens Ende. Nobody mentioned Czral is better after his fall, I'm not sure the band is reuniting so soon. Thank you! Death2 22:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Connor McClure

Hi Karpsmom. I noticed that you've been making several additions to the article Connor McClure, I was doing some research on him and came up with nothing. Wikipedia uses only verifiable information, none of which is found on Connor McClure's page. It seems as if the article is an autobiography and might be more appropriate for FaceBook or MySpace. If I've made a mistake please let me know, but unfortunately I'm not sure that the aforementioned article is one that should be kept on Wikipedia.

Thank you, Vaniac 20:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Blanking

On 01-June, you blanked Norsecore. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the redirect should be deleted, please follow the redirect portion of the deletion procedures. If you believe an article should be written instead of the redirect, please write a stub. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 23:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia image policy

Hello Karpsmom. I have looked through your upload log, and need to mention several important points of Wikipedia's image use policy to you.

  1. Most importantly, please remember that Wikipedia is a free content project. Our goal is to create an encyclopedia that is useable anywhere, by anyone. As such we have tight restrictions on the use of copyrighted unfree content, including photographs. One of the rules, fair use criterion #1, says that unfree images can only be used when it is not possible to create or procure a free alternative. You have uploaded dozens of unfree images of living, active musicians that are used solely for the purpose of identification. Since these people could still be photographed, or existing photographs released under free licenses, we do not allow unfree images such as the ones that you have uploaded.
  2. You have labeled many uploads with {{promotional}}. This tag is intended for publicity photos, specifically intended for redistribution in the press, which not all material on a band's web site, or included in album liner notes are. In any case, even true publicity photos are subject to fair use criterion #1, discussed above.
  3. The following images do not indicate their source and copyright holder. They may be deleted in one week's time if this information is not provided.
    • Image:Ihsahn 1peccatum.jpg
    • Image:Blackheim.jpg
    • Image:ULVER BLOOD INSIDE 1.jpg
    • Image:Solefaldpills.jpg
    • Image:Solefaldpic.jpg
    • Image:Solefald.jpg
    • Image:Solefaldoldpic.jpg
    • Image:Solefald2.jpg
    • Image:Solefald ship.jpg
    There are several others that list only http://www.metal-archives.com/ as a source. Unfortunately, this site does not own the copyright to those images, and does not supply the information that we need about their copyright status.
  4. The following images were all tagged as either {{NoRightsReserved}} or {{GFDL}}, however there was no information on any of their source sites to back-up this claim. They too will be deleted soon if you can not provide accurate information about their status, as well as a detail fair use rationale The rationale must include, among other things, the reasons that the image legally constitutes fair use, the reason the image is essential to the article (some of your articles contain many unfree images for identification, which are certainly not essential), and the reason it is not possible to use a free image.

    • Image:MrVHedlund.jpg
    • Image:Live solefald1.jpg
    • Image:Solefald runestone.jpg
  5. Could you also please confirm that you are the creator of Image:Connor_urine2.jpg and Image:TUFFY.jpg, which you tagged {{GFDL-self}} indicating that you are the photographer and copyright holder. I ask only because you have unreliably tagged dozens of other images, and because the two images list different photographers. Neither one is used in an article and the first image's source link is broken. If these are not your creations, please remove the {{GFDL-self}} template. If they are, it would be helpful if you could explicitly state this on the image description page.×Meegs 11:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to ask you to thoroughly read Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, and Wikipedia:Fair use before you upload any additional images. If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. I know that I've just given you a lot of information at once, and I apologize, but this is very serious business. Regards. ×Meegs 10:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry for all the problems, I misunderstood the definition of the tag I had been using, and i believed that writing the source information for the image made it valid for use also. Unfortunately, I don't know the licensing for most of these images, so you should take them down if that's what needs to be done. I'll be sure to read up on things more before uploading anymore images, Thanks a lot!×Karpsmom 9:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. Regarding point 4 above, are you the photographer of those two images? It's quite common for people to use the {{GFDL-self}} tag by mistake, so it's not a big deal. All the best. ×Meegs 07:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I am the photographer and/or copyright holder of those two photos, but I don't really know how I can prove it. The Connor McClure picture I took with his brother's camera during a performance Connor was part of. The Tuffy picture I'm not the photographer, because I am a member of Tuffy, my friend took the picture with my camera and I hold whatever rights there are to the picture. Either way, it doesn't matter with those pictures because they aren't even being used in any articles! Thanks! =) ×Karpsmom 11:06, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. To avoid confusion in the future, you may want to add a phrase like "taken by User:Karpsmom" or "commissioned by User:Karpsmom" (substituting your real name if you want) to the image description pages. The thing is, those -self tags are misused — by accident and by intention — extremely often. A statement in prose, though it may seem redundant, is relatively good evidence that the claim is legit. ×Meegs 20:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rock music Wikiproject invitation

Hello WikiProject Metal member.
WikiProject Metal music is important in expanding encyclopedic coverage of the metal. It brings attention to the lesser-known bands, and significantly improves the quality of the famous ones. Five Featured articles and two formers is proof of that.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently resurrected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and embrace the links between metal and rock music in general.
Rock on.

[edit] Category:Norwegian musicians

I'm trying to minimize the items in this category. Perhaps you could look over the list and move articles over to the subcategories of Norwegian musicians by genre and Norwegian musicians by instrument I just created? Preferably the Norwegian heavy metal musicians category, as you probably have more idea of what the artists do compared to me. Spelemann 19:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shockertoys and Dethklok merchandise

It is my contention that despite being a toy company, Shockertoys is not a reliable source, considering thier history of making announcements that result in no product reaching the market. If what my google research hold true, they have a track record since 2003 of announcing merchandise which they later claim gets tied up in legal issues or people backing out of contracts, etc. It happened most recently with The Venture Brothers which they claim was part of the same deal as the Dethklok license. Look at thier concept for Shoulder Action Figures (SAF's) which never came out and check the reasons they gave for why. Look at thier Indie Spotlight line, which went through about a half dozen major changes in the series 1 lineup. They finally have a "concrete" lineup but it's unlikely they will ever see the light of day.

They have never had a product hit a mass retail or mass specialty retail shelf. They have been stringing along the GWAR license for 2 years now with what appears to be little to no headway being made. They were supposed to come out in the middle of last year and they pushed series one back to fall, then to winter and it appears to be indefinately in limbo. They have one product that has come to market from this and it is NOT a retail item, it was a conevention exclusive. Therefore the words "who made Shockinis and the GWAR action figures" are innaccurate to begin with since the only product they have so far is an inarticulated, unpainted resin test shot. That does not meet the classification of an action figure. It should be changed to reflect that they are "currently designing and fabricating protoypes for a potential GWAR action figure line." That's not even the main point.

My point is, that a manufacturer's announcement about a license is not valid by itself but must be corroborated. The validity of statements and announcements by even established companies such as Hasbro and Mattel about licenses they hold should be questioned unless they have licensor acknowledgement or the product hits the market. There has been no confirmation by the licensors, nor has there been corroboration by toy industry news sources on the story. My guess is that they cannot verify it either and that they consider the announcement to fail the test of attribution since without licensor confirmation it is tantamount to self-published material. NECA (National Entertainment Collectables Association) recently tried to release a John Lennon figure that they did not have the rights to despite the fact that they made prototypes, actually produced the figure and started shipping them to retailers who started selling them. A press release was issued stating that they did not in fact have permission to sell them and had been issued a cease and desist order. So despite the fact that they showed off the prototypes, talked about thier plans and even began selling them items they did not have permission from the licensor. That should highlight the fact that companies CAN and do make announcements that are erronous and as such a higher standard must be taken on how we handle them when it comes to posting in the wikipedia. I can register my own LLC and post on my company website that I have the rights to do Dethklok figures as well. Without licensor confirmation, my announcement would be just as reliable as thiers.

If it is to be included, it must and should be altered into a more appropriate and accurate format.

[edit] Album review formatting

I notice you've been changing a bunch of album review ratings to use star templates. Note that review ratings not originally given using stars should not be presented using stars.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:A Carefully Planned Accident Cover.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:A Carefully Planned Accident Cover.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.

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:A Carefully Planned Accident Cover.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:A Carefully Planned Accident Cover.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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers}} 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 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 05:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Garmentist.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Garmentist.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.

[edit] Metalocalypse article/speculation??

How exactly is it "speculation" that Snakes 'n' Barrels and Zazz Blammymatazz are based on Guns 'n Roses and Van Halen, respectively? If you watch the show (I own the Season 1 DVD), the references are ridiculously obvious. I approve of your other edits to this section but unless you can justify deleting these references, I will revert your changes. 70.162.208.170 (talk)

Just correcting my own typos. Don't mind me. 70.162.208.170 (talk)

Any sort of information that can not be proven by a source other than your own beliefs or opinions is speculation. It does not matter what edits either of us, or anybody for that matter, approve of, Wikipedia has guidelines and rules and I'm simply following them. If you can find proof (a quote from the shows creators or cast members, etc.) that they are a reference to Guns 'n Roses, then it doesn't belong if it's worded that way. It's at least more acceptable by Wikipedia standards if it's stated that it's a view or opinion of people and not as a fact, because that is true, it is a view, opinion, or speculation of many people that they are based on these bands, it is NOT a fact because it has never been verified. If people can't follow guidelines like this then they don't belong on Wikipedia, they belong on a personal fan page or forum. Karpsmöm 06:44, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

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) 12:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:TUFFY.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:TUFFY.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

[edit] Image:Peccatumpromo.jpg

I have tagged Image:Peccatumpromo.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Kelly hi! 07:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:VintersorgBorknagarvideo.JPG

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:VintersorgBorknagarvideo.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 07:55, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
