[edit] WP:COPYRIGHT & WP:MUSIC

You should familiarize yourself with these two pages. I have tagged Brandi Williams & Shamari Fears for copyright violations--please don't just copy & paste others' writing into Wikipedia. It would be best if you could rewrite these articles from scratch (using proper sourcing as per WP:V & WP:RS).

Also, there are notability guidelines for musicians on Wikipedia--claims to meet WP:MUSIC should be covered in every article on musicians & bands, otherwise it's likely they will be deleted. Thanks, Scientizzle 19:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just put Shamari in an infobox

I saw your page and it needed a box. It was really funny, because I picked Jenny Frost as the place to copy it from and guess what... she is also born on February 22 (1978 instead of 1981 so three years earlier). So you now know that two honeys from a girl group have their birthday on that day. KittenKlub 00:23, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:On The Line (2001).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:On The Line (2001).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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kpjas 04:57, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy tags

Hi. Removing speedy deletion tags from "vanity" articles is really frowned on and could lead to a block from further editing. Friendly bit of advice. 74.62.6.84 02:07, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Blaque Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blaque Cover.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. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. feydey 08:48, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocked

I have blocked you for 24 hours for your continued disregard for our image uploading and copyright policies for wich I see you have been warned time and again. I would recomend you spend this downtime reading up on Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Fair use. Once the block expires you can ask any questions you might have on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions before uploading any more images. Do not upload any more images without proper source and copyright information or the next block with be much longer. --Sherool (talk) 19:57, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Enough

My last block and warning obviously fell on deaf ears as you have again uploaded unsourced images with no copyright information, and I see you have been vandalising more articles as well on top of completely ignoring other users. People who contribute constructively are alawys welcome, but you don't seem to be interested in that so I have now blocked your acount indefinitely to save the rest of the cominity any more agrivation.

If you ever get around to reading and understanding our rules and want to contribute constructively to the project you can request to be unblocked by adding {{unblock|reason you request an unblock}} to this talk page (the only page you can edit while blocked). --Sherool (talk) 11:10, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] As If (single)

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article As If (single), 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). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Blaque Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blaque 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. 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 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.BetacommandBot 14:27, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Neva.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 19:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Torch (album)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Torch (album), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
