[edit] Hi

Hi Pete, glad to see you here. Nice work on Escape, which was one of a few I've thrown up and never got back to, and which you're more suited to write up anyway. I hope you din't mind me offering a few pointers. The Comics Journal interviews page will probably work better as a list. I think List of Comics Journal interview subjects? I can move it if you so agree? The article you propose on Small press comics (UK) should be so capitalised, I think, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Lowercase second and subsequent words. That said, I think it should be more properly named either British small press comics or Small press comics scene of the United Kingdom, if I've read conventions correctly. However any thoughts you have to the contrary are appreciated, I don't mean to appear like a killjoy. Be prepared for people correcting the plural spelling of comics, which has happened at British comics. Whilst page moves are easy, the fixing of the links is generally a bugger, i.e. time consuming. Although I haven't looked at bots yet, I think you have to be an admin for that.

Any other questions or whatever on general conventions round here, give me a shout. Note convention here is to reply on the other users talk page, a fact it took me a while to get the hang of. Also, you might have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics. It's mostly geared to superhero stuff but is a good talking shop on setting conventions for comics articles in general.

Hi Pete - Just wanted to say nice rewrite of my (woefully inadequate) Rian Hughes page - look forward to seeing your British small press comics article! Vizjim 15:32, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

[edit] Posy

Thanks for noticing my work on Posy Simmonds. It's the sort of thing that I sometimes wonder whether anyone will ever read it at all... By the way, I like your photos of Lodge Hill Cemetery on flickr. I used to live about a hundred yards from there. --rbrwr± 22:59, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Comics collaboration

Hi. Forgive the cut and paste briskness of this message, but you voted at the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight for Comics, which has now become the current collaboration. Please help to improve it in any way you can. First up we have discovered it might be best to discuss improvements on the talk page, and perhaps create a To-do list. Anyway, thanks for your help.

[edit] Wikipedia:Meetup/Birmingham

This is just a reminder that the Birmingham meetup of UK Wikipedians that you have expressed an interst in is happening tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice. Thryduulf 15:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Small press deletion

Although I know you are moving out of this area a series of small press-related entries have been put up for deletion largely it appears on the grounds "because I consider them inherently non-notable. ScottNestle 20:22, 21 June 2006 (UTC)" [1] and I thought you'd have insight into the issue (Emperor 14:44, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Sweatdrop studios deletion

The entry for Sweatdrop Studios has been selected for deletion on the grounds that it is not noteworthy, and if deletion does go ahead, then would that lead to the deletion of all entries pertaining to British Small Press comics. If you could take a look. That is if you're not too busy.Msproduct 10:39, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zum!

Zum! is currently up for deletion. As you are the expert and did all the work on the entry I thought you'd like to know. (Emperor 01:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Image:Zum zine issue six.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Zum zine issue six.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. — User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 17:48, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Chris_Ware_Jimmy_Corrigan_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. 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. Note that any non-free media 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. Rockfang (talk) 04:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Mistys_big_adventure_band_photo_1.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Mistys_big_adventure_band_photo_1.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Rettetast (talk) 19:21, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
