[edit] Re: Thank you and Help Me

Per Dean Karr, the notability is borderline due to his short credits list on imdb; I'd say just try to write the bio as best you can, and include links to news articles that talk about him- if, for example, he's been interviewed by a newspaper. That will help satisfy the requirement of notability (WP:N). JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 20:19, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:Dean Karr

It's definitely an improvement, but there's a problem- you didn't cite the source of it. See WP:CITE. I'm assuming you got it from a website, so be sure to include that. To survive AfD you'd still want to demonstrate some press coverage. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 20:55, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

It will just be up to the community to determine if he's notable. I think there's probably enough for the article to survive the AfD. Also, keep in mind that print sources can be cited- see WP:Citing sources/example style. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 04:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:CrashIntoMe.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. Shell ^babelfish 07:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DaughtryVideoShoot.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. Shell ^babelfish 07:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

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

Thank you for uploading Image:Slugfest.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. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. 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. Shell ^babelfish 07:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

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.

[edit] Re: needin more help

In regards to images, they're either copyrighted or not. If they are copyrighted, Wikipedia can only use them if the fall into "Fair use", which legally means they can be reproduced even though they're copyrighted. The images in question are borderline usable, since the article is about Dean, not the videos/songs that the captures come from. For the video stills, you haven't provided a rationale for fair use at all, so you'll need to do that by editing the image page. For the slugfest pic, it looks like you've added criteria, but someone thinks it's not good enough. Take a look at WP:NFCC and try to put fair use criteria into the images.

[edit] Guide to referencing

Click on "show" on the right of the orange bar to open contents.

Using references (citations)

Help another user by posting this to them. Put {{subst:refstart}} on their talk page or a relevant article talk page. Otherwise the link WP:REFB goes to a help page. I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. Good references A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, and authorised web sites. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research (e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research), or another wikipedia article. Inserting a reference The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section (unless it already exists). This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code: ==Notes and references== {{reflist}} The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and after punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap): <ref>             </ref> Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference. Test it out Open the edit box for this page, copy the following text (inserting your own text where indicated), paste it at the bottom of the page and save the page: ==Reference test== This is the text which you are going to verify with a reference.<ref>Reference details go here</ref> ==Notes and references== {{reflist}} (End of text to copy and paste.) It should appear like this: Reference test This is the text which you are going to verify with a reference.[1] Notes and references ^ Reference details go here Information to include You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For an online newspaper source, it might look like this: <ref>Plunkett, John. [http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/0,14173,1601858,00.html "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying"], ''[[The Guardian]]'', [[2005-10-27]]. Retrieved on [[2005-10-27]].</ref> When uploaded, it appears as: Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying", The Guardian, 2005-10-27. Retrieved on 2005-10-27. Note the single square brackets around the URL and the article title. The format is: [http://URL "Title of article"] Make sure there is a space between the URL and the Title. This code results in the URL being hidden and the title showing as a link. Use double apostrophes for the article title (it is quoted text), and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). Double square brackets round the name of the paper create an internal link (a wikilink) to the relevant wikipedia article. Apostrophes must go outside the brackets. The date after The Guardian is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site – useful for searching the web archive in case the link goes dead. Dates are wikilinked so that they work with user preference settings to display the date in the format the user wishes. References not online You can use sources which are not online, but which you have found in a library or elsewhere—in which case leave out the information which is not relevant. The newspaper example above would be formatted like this: <ref>Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying", ''[[The Guardian]]'', [[2005-10-27]].</ref> When uploaded, it appears as: Plunkett, John. "Sorrell accuses Murdoch of panic buying", The Guardian, 2005-10-27. Here is an example for a book: <ref>Charmley, John (2006). ''The Princess and the Politicians'', p.60. Penguin Books Ltd., London. ISBN 0140289712.</ref> When uploaded, it appears as: Charmley, John (2006). The Princess and the Politicians. Penguin Books Ltd., London. ISBN 0140289712. Make sure you put two single quote marks round the title (to generate italics), rather than one double quote mark. Date format These formats are all acceptable for dates: [[2005-01-27]] [[27 January]] [[2007]] [[January 27]], [[2007]] Citation templates You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference Same ref used twice or more The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <ref> code: <ref name=smith>Details of ref here</ref> The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again: <ref name=smith/> You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! A short cut will only pick up from higher up the page, so make sure the first ref is the full one. Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them. You can see multiple use of the same refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is. Alternative system The above method is simple and combines references and notes into one section. A refinement is to put the full details of the references in their own section headed "References", while the notes which apply to them appear in a separate section headed "Notes". The notes can be inserted in the main article text in an abbreviated form as seen in Harriet Arbuthnot or in a full form as in Brown Dog affair. Further information More information can be found at: Wikipedia:Citing sources Wikipedia:Citing sources/example style Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference Wikipedia:Citation templates Wikipedia:Footnotes I hope this helps.
