[edit] Deleting my Page

Why didn't you consult me before redirecting Like a Song? Daniel.M (talk) 21:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

The article for "Like a Song..." has been deleted twice previously, making it a candidate for WP:CSD. The article was composed of just three sentences, some of it POV, and none of it sourced. I've searched through several references, including the internet, "U2 by U2", "U2 Propaganda", and "U2 - Into the Heart: The Story Behind Every Song", but could find no more information to include into the article. As I am currently revamping the War page in an effort to get it to GA, I decided to be bold and merge those three sentences into the War article. A merge is not a deletion. In a merge, you are condensing the information on the page and transferring it to another article. In a deletion, the information is removed entirely.

Finally, nobody owns Wikipedia articles. Yes, it is generally a good idea to consult other editors who have contributed to a page/Wikiproject before doing any major editing to page, but that isn't necessary for three sentences. Not every song needs to have it's own article. Songs like "Grace", "Drowning Man", "Silver and Gold", "Wild Honey", and yes, "Like A Song..." just don't have enough real-world information to warrant their own articles. I am aware that some of the songs I have listed do have their own articles, but they should not and I do plan to merge them before long after longer discussion within the U2 WikiProject.

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokémon

The list of participants of the Pokémon WikiProject is quite sizable, however, there is no way to determine which of whom are active contributors to that project. All participants in the list have been moved to Inactive. If you consider yourself to be an active member of the Pokémon WikiProject, please go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pokémon#Participants and move your username to the Active section. Thank you.

[edit] Smile!

And if I may say, good job with [1]. I was trying for figure out how to fix it, but couldn't find a good revision. :P Happy editing! -WarthogDemon 01:27, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

No offense, but there are better, more spectacular, and less trivial April Fool's Jokes to be pulled.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 12:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Aofwcover.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Aofwcover.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. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:JessieTeamRocket.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:JessieTeamRocket.jpg. 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) 08:41, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
