[edit] Otakon

KSweeley, thanks for all the information you've been contributing to Otakon. I've been making some organization and style edits in the interest of making the article more formal and encyclopedic and less like a news report or 'blog. I noticed you also made some edits to Takanori Nishikawa and was wondering if you know enough about TMR to help clarify something in the Otakon article. Right now, Otakon#Otakon_2003_A.K.A._O2k3_A.K.A._Otakon_X makes it sound like Kristine Sa and Takanori Nishikawa are both part of a "group" called "T.M. Revolution", but the article on Takanori Nishikawa seems to say it's just him. I don't know anything about these artists, so if you can provide any information, it'd be a big help. Thanks in advance—Triskaideka 20:37, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Saw your edit. Thanks! —Triskaideka 03:13, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

No problem, glad to be of assistance for the Otakon article, I've been attending Otakon since 2001 and am a big fan of Otakon, I attended this year's (2004)'s convention and was a volunteer. - KSweeley.

KSweeley, regarding your recent additions to Otakon: do you really think that information like the guest and hotel lists for one particular year are appropriate for Wikipedia? Remember that Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base nor a place for news reports, it's an encyclopedia. It seems to me that material that's just going to be deleted in a few months doesn't belong. I certainly can't find that kind of information in any of the other articles we have on conventions. I'm inclined to delete those sections from the article, but I wanted to talk to you about it first. Do you disagree, and why? —Triskaideka 17:51, 16 Dec 2004 (UTC)

---

Hmmm... Okay, if you feel that the list of guests and hotels are not appropriate for the entry for Otakon 2005, feel free to remove them then. But would it be okay for listing guests who attended previous Otakon conventions on another entry such as "List of Otakon Guests"? - KSweeley.

That seems consistent with other "List of..." entries to me, so go for it. —Triskaideka 16:02, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Ai-Kon

Until dates are announced, it's not generally a good idea to assume that there will be an Ai-Kon 2006, despite the fact that it's a very strong possibility. Please see What Wikipedia Is Not.... and thank you for adding to the article. I didn't know how to do that little corner-info-box thingie. Shingen 06:11, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

Okay. No problem, I created the info box for anime conventions. - KSweeley.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:IMap DMZ-GIS-WEB11202092214976.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:IMap DMZ-GIS-WEB11202092214976.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, ie 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 {{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. 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.

[edit] Otakon - events wikilinks

I've made more changes to Template:Infobox Anime convention (Talk) that should now make it safe to use wikilinks in the events parameter.--TheFarix 15:33, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Bvc.jpeg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, 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.

Specifically, you do not cite the exact newspaper and edition where the image came from. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
I got the image from the Baltimore Sun website, I've proposed to create a specific fair use copyright tag for Baltimore Sun images. -- KSweeley

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:13240380bvcint.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:13240380bvcint.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] Unspecified source for Image:IMap DMZ-GIS-WEB35603640139354.png

Thanks for uploading Image:IMap DMZ-GIS-WEB35603640139354.png. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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: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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Image:Sheila dixon2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sheila dixon2.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. Chowbok ☠ 23:50, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:O 2006 logo sm.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:O 2006 logo sm.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 05:14, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Otakon2003logo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Otakon2003logo.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 19:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:MTANF06003.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, and one has been provided in the form of Image:MTA Maryland New Flyer D40LF 04119.jpg. 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.
