[edit] Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Gay Nigger Association of America

Would you mind telling me why you removed my comment on Roguelazer's vote? Did you think I was attacking him? Was my wording improper? JRM 02:00, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)

I would not delete your or anyone's comment, even if I did not agree with it. I think what happened is that you made the comment while I was adding my vote and it got lost in the process. I'm not entirely sure how Wikipedia works in these cases. I will now try to restore it, sorry for the mixup. -Ld | talk 02:11, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)
What's supposed to happen in these cases is that either of us gets an edit conflict, which forces us to merge our new edits with the current revision. In this case, since your vote successfully ended up on top of my comment, and then an edit was put in that removed my comment, it looked as if you purposefully deleted it, hence my question. I'm sure either your browser or the database just had a hiccup, though. Thanks for clearing it up. JRM 02:23, 2004 Dec 27 (UTC)
I see what you mean, it looks like I edited it twice, although I don't recall doing so. I probably got mixed up with all my tabs in Firefox. I think it's back to normal now. -Ld | talk 02:33, 27 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] NASA animation

Oh, OK. I changed it into an internal link instead of an external one, like this. Thanks and warmest regards --Neutralitytalk 21:21, Dec 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Goa Trance

Hey Ld, just wanted to say great work on the psy goa articles the new artist page is great and I notice quite a few new stubs. Keep up the great work! Htaccess 09:25, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! I think the artist page will serve multiple purposes:
  1. Pick up orphaned psy articles - I noticed we have quite a few in the process.
  2. Serve as a central list without cluttering up the main articles.
  3. Encourage people to write about their favorite artists.
Hopefully it will work out. :) -Ld | talk 16:18, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed that you're into goa/psy, and I've actually got some mp3s of some mixes that I can dropload to you, notably my Hightener mix that I've created for the Everything2 Weeknight Sound Track project. (There really should be a quick option for linking to E2 from here, I swear. :) ) That is some great work on the goa and psytrance articles. I actually fixed a couple of minor errors in the psytrance article a long time ago. :) Myrkabah 19:43, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Psy track

ld can you please help me to recognise some PSy-track that i have and dont know what it isVorash 13:55, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Sure, why not. -Ld | talk 16:35, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Its here: MP3 Sample
I also wanted to ask you what you think about adding some mp3s as defining genre
to articles of Goa and Psy-trance.Vorash 21:23, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
It's definatelly released after 2000, probably Israeli. Sounds a lot like Sesto Sento, but could be something else. What tracks do you have in mind for adding to the articles? -Ld | talk 22:40, 16 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I wanted to add Muses Rapt,Astral Projection to Goa.....and to Psy i dont know...HOw much it should be in length 1 min or so ?Vorash 00:59, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
It seems MP3's are not allowed on Wikipedia. You would have to encode it to Ogg. See these rules for details [1]. The longest music sample I have seen here was 20 seconds and encoded at ~65kbps. I think you should do the same (not more then 30 seconds probably) so that they would not decide to delete it. -Ld | talk 01:43, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
OK, I figured out how to do it:
  1. Convert MP3 to WAV
  2. Cut out about 30-40 seconds of the WAV file you want to use (you can use the sound recorder that comes with Windows for this).
  3. Download the Vorbis encoder at http://www.vorbis.com/download_win_1.0.1.psp and extract it to a directory.
  4. Run "oggenc -q 0 myfile.wav" at the command prompt.
I've put up two files so far, by Etnica andf Talamasca. Feel free to add more. If you want me to help you out with converting some stuff let me know. -Ld | talk 05:38, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Good job you did with a tracks ! Thank you !Vorash 18:59, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I puted a track that i a sked you to id on psynews forum .Maybe they will recognise this. I wanted to ask you another qiestion - maybe you know who did a remix on Muses rapt "spiritual healing" . I had two versions. One is an original, that you puted as a sample and second one more popular, that i heard on radio ,its sounds more "progressive".But unfortunately i didnt find who did it.Maybe you know ?Vorash 19:16, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
There are many remixes of this track .. it's probably one of these. -Ld | talk 21:09, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for infoVorash 22:45, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)


ld i wanted to ask you how you determine the popularity of the artists? By number of discogs.com members that have any particular album?Vorash 03:18, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Also X-Dream's Trip To Trancesylvania was originally released in 1993 (See here) and here) and was rereleased in 1997. Only 20 members have it ,which is not so popular.Vorash 03:55, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
There are 2 versions of that album, one is called "In the Mix". Also the list was intended to have notable albums, not necessarily popular. For example, today albums sell a lot more copies than they used to in 1993, when this music was still mostly unknown. -Ld | talk 17:22, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Articles about Belarusian cities

Will be good to make discussion how to name articles about Belarusian cities. I think they should be named based on transliteration from Belarusian name with redirects from Russian transliteration. Mikkalai and Rydel (indeed other could participate too) are active contributors to Belarus related articles with good knowledge of subject.

Please place these articles in Category:Towns in Belarus.

Will be great if all Belarus related public domain/GFDL/Creative Commons images will be uploaded to commons: for sharing with other Wikipedia (Belarusian one is first consumer :-)

Thank you. --EugeneZelenko 03:00, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I agree, they should use the Belarussian names. Unfortunatelly I didn't realize that at first and probably created a few that are not .. feel free to move/redirect them. - Ld | talk 03:13, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] image copyright tag on Image:NY Police Commissioner Shield.jpg

Why did you tag this image as a work of the U.S. federal government? I see from your user page that you're from the U.S., so you should have been aware of the difference between federal and local government. I changed the tag to fair use instead. Postdlf 21:30, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I see where you might be comming from. I assumed this qualified as PD since it originated from a .gov site and there was no copyright notice stating otherwise. -Ld | talk 21:32, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
.gov sites are obviously not all federal, but are also used by state and municipal governments. Whether works of state or local governments are public domain depends on whether the particular state or city has decided to commit their works to the public domain or retain copyright, as they are permitted to do either under U.S. copyright law. The copyright notice at the very bottom of http://www.nyc.gov/ shows that the city claims copyright in its works. If the shield design is sufficiently old enough, then any copyright would have expired and the general {{PD}} tag may be applied. If not, I still think use of this particular image would pass a fair use test.
The PD-USGov tag, on the other hand, is only for works of the federal government, which, by federal statute, are all committed to the public domain. Postdlf 21:47, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Akanoid

Akanoid has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:23, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mandra Gora

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Mandra Gora, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. 172.144.246.221 19:24, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Raymond W Kelly.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Raymond W Kelly.jpg. 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 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 16:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 16:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Valve logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Valve logo.png. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Various AOL CDs with packaging removed.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Liftarn 11:47, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article on Matrixism: an Entheogenic Religion

There is an article on a entheogenic new religious movement called Matrixism being created at User:Xoloz/Matrixism.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AllAdvantage.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AllAdvantage.gif. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Randy Constan and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Randy Constan during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:X-Dream-1.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:X-Dream-1.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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Kalinkovichi_coat_of_arms.gif. I noticed 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 even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 22:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Voodoo People

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Voodoo People, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Voodoo People 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 Voodoo People, 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. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Cs games.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Cs games.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 19:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr If you've written a quality article... 19:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Sri Hari

An editor has nominated Sri Hari, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sri Hari and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Dance Monkeyboy

I have nominated Dance Monkeyboy, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dance Monkeyboy.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:DanceMonkeyBoy.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:DanceMonkeyBoy.png. 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) 18:55, 6 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Prime suspect.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Prime suspect.jpg. 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) 16:25, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
