[edit] License tagging for Image:Dean Razorback V.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dean Razorback V.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.

[edit] July 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Mr P G Skoyles, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. SMC89 12:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Mr P G Skoyles, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears 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.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SMC89 12:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing various Dean Guitars articles

Hello! I noticed you reverted some of my edits I made to some guitar articles. For example, this edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dean_Cadillac&diff=next&oldid=145189642 I have to question. In this edit, you still did not verify your statements: Who says the Cadillac is more famous as ML (and who says the ML is famous?)?, also, who says it has better tone etc than Les Paul? You can't use Dean Guitars official website to verify this, as it is very bias (why wouldn't they say good things about their guitars?). As it read after your edit, it seemed to be your personal opinion, which is original thought, and does not belong in a Wikipedia article. It didn't either represent a neutral point of view (Please see WP:NPOV. To read about what sources are reliable, please see WP:RS, to read about what sources are verifiable, see WP:V. And, you can't just link to the website, you have to link to the specific page containing the source, it is very time consuming to find the source on the page your self.

If you have any questions regarding this, feel free to ask me. Grinder0-0 17:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted images

Please stop uploaded copyright images of guitars, especially under the false claim that they are in the public domain. We cannot use copyrighted images for things that are easy to obtain free images of. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 18:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dean guitars

Hello and thanks for your recent activity to improve Dean guitar articles. I wanted to remind you that generally when editors makes changes to the articles, they are doing so in good faith and per Wikipedia policies. For example, Wikipedia requires articles to be sourced with independent, reliable sources - see Wikipedia:Verifiability. While the Dean web site is a good source for basic facts, if you are going to make claims about certain guitarists being "famous users" or similar, you need to be able to back that up with an independent source. An example would be a magazine article that says that guitarist is notable for playing Deans. So if someone adds a template to the section requesting sources, that is meant as a request for you to do so. If you can't, the section should be removed.

Also, are you the same user as KingPie01? I only ask because you two are making basically the same edits. If so, I recommend you pick one account and stick to it.

Any questions, just ask! --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 20:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am looking for some free images of Dean guitars right now. It might be a slow process, but I think we can find some. It might also be possible to email Dean and ask them to release some images under a license we can use. There is some information on how to do that at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. On the question of notable users - we have discussed this a lot in the Guitarist WikiProject. Basically the manufacturer is not a good source of information because they are paying the guitarists to appear as endorsers; therefore there is a conflict of interest. To call a guitarist a notable or famous player of an instrument is to assert that they make special use of that instrument above other guitarists. So, we need some source to back that up. For an example of how we have done this in the past, see List of Telecaster players. We basically found a source for every guitarist on that list that said, "Yes this guy is a famous Telecaster player." --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 20:46, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Guitarists newsletter

The WikiProject Guitarists Newsletter
Issue III - July 2007
Project news

Hey everyone! It's been quite a while since the last newsletter went out but it's time to tune up those guitars, set the amps to 11, and rock out a bit. Or for us old guys, put on the fingerpicks and set the amp to 3. A lot of people have been laboring away at guitar articles and their efforts are to be applauded. If you haven't edited in a while, why not pick an article from Category:Stub-Class guitarist articles and expand it? Or better yet, pick one from the article requests and create it. More tasks can be found on the main project page in the WikiProject Guitarists open tasks box.

I went through the member list and moved anyone who hasn't edited a guitar article in two months to the inactive section. If you're getting this newsletter, it means you are still in the active list. See you around --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 21:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyrighted images

You need to stop uploading copyrighted images to the Dean guitar articles. Dean owns the copyright on those and they cannot be used in the articles. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 22:07, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Really? Did you follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission? If so, they need to have released them under an appropriate license and you need to forward their email to the address listed on that page under the "When Permission is Received" heading. If they simply said, "Yes you can use them on Wikipedia" that is not a valid permission. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 22:17, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image deletions

I have gone ahead and deleted all of the images that you "stole" from Dean's website. You simply cannot upload images you found on the web. We only accept content that is freely licensed (and one of the easiest way to do that is to produce content ourselves and license it under a free license). Only in certain cases do we allow non-free content. Anyway, if you have any questions about the deletions, or need help understanding wikipedia's image use policy, please feel free to ask. I'd be glad to help. Thanks.-Andrew c [talk] 00:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
