[edit] Red Dwarf

Just asking about the link you removed from Red Dwarf page, i believe that the link isn't to copyrighted material, it is out of copyright as being less than a certain time it is allowed. Also it follows Google Video's rules for copyright violation. 86.129.89.52 13:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. I'm really not sure how clips from the pilot, however brief, can be classed as not breaking copyright. NBC own the rights to the pilot, and the makers of the Red Dwarf DVDs have stated how expensive it was to obtain the rights to show even the briefest of clips on the "Dwarfin' USA" documentary. Furthermore, I wasn't sure how the clip was particularly relevant to the Wiki entry. If you feel it is (a) relevant and (b) qualifies as fair use rather than breaching copyright, I'd suggest discussing it on the entry's talk page in an attempt to reach a consensus. Seb
No, i doubt it is 100% legal, i had no idea it was expensive for GNP to get hold of the clips. I think best to leave it. 86.129.89.52 13:44, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hamish and Mouse

I've created a brief article on this strip in its own right, which expands a bit on the section on the RotR page. Hopefully I'll be able to add a little bit more and also add some images if I'm able to get my old RotR comics back.... ChrisTheDude 13:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tommy's Troubles

Yeah, that was probably my favourite RotR strip back then, like you say it's a shame there's so little web presence for these stories, I'd have thought more people had nostalgia for them. I'm thinking of doing an article on Johnny Dexter next, that'll probably finish off the coverage of the "classics" of RotR (except maybe for those later ones you mention, but I had stopped reading it by then...). I've now been reunited with my old RotR annuals, courtesy of my parents, but it seems like the comics themselves are now lining a landfill somewhere, which is a shame.....

[edit] Damon Hill

Hey Seb! - Thanks for the comments on the Damon Hill peer review...it's now up for an FA, please can you show your support, please? --Skully Collins 08:05, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the support and your understanding overthe lack of images :) --Skully Collins 10:24, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
No problem. As I mentioned, there was a bit of work that needed doing language-wise (including over-repetition of certain phrases, especially in the lead), and the section on his post-F1 career was a bit of a mess in places (especially the Pizza Hut and Jenson Button bits). But I've tidied those up the best I could, and I think as it stands it's got a decent shout. Not sure how much other support you'll get, as FAC voters are notoriously stingy and will always find something to pick at, but for me it's comprehensive enough and the career biography, especially, flows well. Seb Patrick 10:34, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Yeah...Personally I'd just bit satisfied that it's better then the Schumacher article. --Skully Collins 10:39, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Liverpool

Thanks for notifying. That page was getting attacked constantly and I blindedly reverted any remove I've seen. Again, thanks for the notice. (: Kedi the tramp (talk • contribs • count) (Respond to me on my Talk.) 15:32, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The new FAR/FARC process

Hi Seb

I noticed your excellent contributions to Roy of the Rovers on the FAC page, and wondered whether you'd be interested in dropping into WP:FAR occasionally (or often) to encourage, prod, critique, and—when the crunch comes—to declare "Keep" or "Remove". Your interests in popular culture and the media would be a bonus on top of your editing skills.

The new FAR process is now being swamped with nominations (currently 23 in FAR and 13 in FARC), and the four or five regulars are finding it difficult to service the needs of such a large process. The ideal is to encourage the guardians of the many substandard FAs to fix them; sometimes this happens, but all too often, a nomination is met with disinterest by those you'd have thought would be keen.

The contribution of more good reviewers there, particularly those who are focused on good writing, would have a powerful impact on the FA culture in WP.

[edit] Re: "vandalism"

Thanks for the heads up. As you then noticed, I'd already spotted them, but I appreciate it anyway -- just in case! The JPStalk to me 12:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goal Timings

What is your source for goal timings on the Liverpool FC page? Thanks.--Franchecomté 18:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I've got a video of the ITV footage as it was broadcast. Even though the timings themselves may not be the official times (as it's ITV's own clock), the gap between them is surely still constant. I know there's debate over the whole "six/seven minutes" thing, but I just went back and watched it, and clocked the exact number of minutes/seconds between the two goals crossing the line.

[edit] Hill

Hey Seb - Thanks for the messege...anyway, YOU should take some credit as well, I mean it wasn't just 4u1e who did most of the grammer work ;-), because it certainly wasn't me, because of my Autism :-(. --Skully Collins Review Me! Please? 08:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I see I'm late to the party :-) Thanks for the compliments, Seb. (Article seems to be holding up well under the strain on being on the front page!) 4u1e 21:36, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] An FAC

In case you've got some time to glance over it, I've got (video game music composer) Frank Klepacki sitting in FAC. I blew a tire from working on it seven or eight hours yesterday, so my strategic distance is toast. I'll probably do some kind of hardcopy or reference-less copyediting today, but I'm asking for assistance on a few talk pages just in case. Thanks for considering. --Zeality 15:35, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of beat 'em ups undeletion request

I have nominated List of beat 'em ups to be undeleted, under the reasoning that it is not redundant to the category; it contains many games which are not covered by the category, and may never be able to be covered by it. In addition, the list can do more than the category. It can put date, developer, release date, system, et al., useful especially for articles that would be difficult to create an article for. I hope that you will vote on this and hopefully support its undeletion, on the basis that it does something that makes it not redundant to the category.

[edit] Damon Hill reverts

Sorry Seb - It looks like we have a persistent wiki-user who goes against what is internationally believed. I was wondering, is reverting referenced material vandalism?--Skully Collins 12:51, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning Red Dwaf— Isn't 1999 minus 1988 eleven years?

Hi Mr. Patrick: How I stubbled on your Wikipedia article I don't even remember— I think I was Wiki-ing Craig Ferguson or something— (I'm an an American, so I'm not even familiar with the series Red Dwarf— sorry. But anyway, at the beginning of your article you write: "Red Dwarf is a British science fiction sitcom that ran for eight series, from 1988 to 1999". Now math is my achilles heel, and not to be a wise aas, but Isn't 1999 minus 1988 eleven years?

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Red Dwarf IWCD.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Red Dwarf IWCD.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.

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 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.

[edit] Liverpool FC Kit Manufacturer & Sponsorship

This is quite confusing to use, but did you remove this from the Liverpool FC Page?

it contained the history of the Liverpool Sponsors & Kit Manufacturer. Definately veery imformative for new Liverpool fans out there.

[edit] Red Dwarf peer review

Hi there. The Red Dwarf article has just been requested for a Peer Review. As an interested editor of the article I was wondering if you would like to join in on the discussions. As you will be aware, the article has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. If you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality! Wikipedia:Peer review/Red Dwarf --Nreive (talk) 11:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Melchester badge.png

Thank you for uploading Image:Melchester badge.png. 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:30, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
