[edit] Galaxy (Australian TV)

Hi. I notice that you've tagged the Galaxy (Australian TV) article as a copyvio. I've looked at the link you've cited and it doesn't look, to me, like the article is copied from there - the text is very different. Accordingly, I've restored the article, but if you still think it is a copyvio please let me know and we'll decide what to do. Kcordina Talk 12:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

You should learn how to spell before criticising the spelling of others, friend... Go back and check your own comment spelling again.

[edit] Letter from VSling

(Replied) I would suggest that you investigate your own church before following it blindly. Ask to see audited financial statements for both your church and the conferences; question how much your Senior Pastors are paid, especially how much they get on the speaking circuit (when they speak in other churches with pre-arranged agendas with their friends in leadership in those churches). You should also ask your Senior Leadership as to why the BS (oops PS) church was started in Melbourne when there were already a plethora of churches there. Do not accept face answers... Surely you are more intelligent than to accept the lie that it was a "call of God". Have you not also questioned why there is so much control in your church; why they tell you how to live your life in a very defined manner? My friend, you are in a cult. Please ensure you open your eyes. VSing 14:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Planetshakers controversy section

I don't think there is any reason for this section. Firstly vandalism is a common occurrence on Wikipedia, there's not much we can do to stop that, and therefore if every article had a section on incorrect edits that had been made Wikipedia would be very boring. Secondly if there's no evidence that Planetshakers is a cult (which you claim), then there is no controversy and hence no need for the section. What do you think? Oh and it's defamation not deformation. Cheers, Jack 13:35, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hay, when editing I thought the user vandalizing the page had deleted the section again. sorry.
The major issue is that the wikipedia article is also high up in the ranks of Google and the user is doing everything to make the organization look as bad as possible. If the user in question was willing to discuss the issue at hand rather then post fake citations then I may not have an issue. I thought by bringing the issue out where everyone can see it would allow people know there are bias facts posted.
--Lodders 13:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
I understand your concerns but your church's page is no different to any other on Wikipedia, other articles face the exact same problem. I had a quick look on Google and an article from The Sydney Morning Herald does mention the line "Critics say the Pentecostal churches are cult-like, materialistic and faddish. They take in young people who are vulnerable and membership - and also faith - is fleeting as people try a church for a couple of years then move on." [1]. So really the article should state the critical sides of the church as I'm sure you know Wikipedia has a Neutral Point of View. Your second point about discussing the issue with the user would be a lost cause until the user signs up for an account. As the edits seem to be coming from a university IP address.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:547334.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:547334.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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:547334.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:547334.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 04:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 04:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Adrian Lodders - Sunbury Panorama - Shot 1 Full Size HQ CC.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Adrian Lodders - Sunbury Panorama - Shot 1 Full Size HQ CC.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot 14:06, 12 November 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Adrian Lodders - Sunbury Panorama - Shot 1 Full Size HQ CC.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Adrian Lodders - Sunbury Panorama - Shot 1 Full Size HQ CC.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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 (talk) 19:13, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Ps citychurch logo.PNG

Thank you for uploading Image:Ps citychurch logo.PNG. 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) 16:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
