User talk:Rebert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roger Ebert is a professional film critic. In his Chicago Sun-Times columns he has mentioned using wikipedia. Judging from the "user contributions" this is apparently the account he uses to edit and change wiki entries.

Welcome to Wikipedia Roger, from your fans. Feel free to make your own profile page. -- User:J.J.

[edit] Day of the Woman/I Spit On Your Grave

Hearsay (and the IMDb Trivia section) suggests that you hold a certain disdain for this film. Unfortunately, your website has archives of "Great Films," not "Terrible Films." Do you have any quotes you could add to I Spit On Your Grave? It could use some color. --Feitclub 06:14, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

My opinion or your opinion might not be encyclopedic but given Mr. Ebert's reputation as a famous film critic, I see no reason not to include a quote representing his opinion of that or any film. Many Wikipedia film articles feature quotes from film critics; they can be used to offer a glimpse of the critical reaction to the film. --feitclub 22:44, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
Let me clarify my point: Mr. Ebert should not personally add his own opinions and editorials. However, it is perfectly alright for another user to cite his quotes. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:41, 20 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Faster pussycat.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Faster pussycat.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
