[edit] Mouse and the Traps

I came across the article on "Mouse (musician)". I'm a bit confused. Is the intended focus of the article on Weiss or the band? The current name had to go as article titles do not take quotation marks. Since it appeared to be on the member from the text of the first paragraph, I moved it to Ronnie Weiss. If you want to distinguish his nickname Mouse, so that others find it, you can add and approporiate entry at Mouse (disambiguation), and possibly, separately, make a redirect to Mouse (musician), although that is really not a likely search term so it may not be useful. Or if you want to make the article simply on the band, move the article to Mouse and the Traps (your account needs to be four days old before you can move an article). Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit 14:12, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:PebblesBox-Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PebblesBox-Cover.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ↔NMajdan•talk 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PebblesBox-Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:PebblesBox-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.

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 fair use images 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. ↔NMajdan•talk 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Yes, unfortunately, fair use images need a detailed fair use rationale with them for each article they are used in (see Image:OU-Logo.PNG for an example of a fair use image used in multiple articles). If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me or you can go to Media copyright questions.↔NMajdan•talk 20:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:Love-at-Psychedelic-Velocity.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Love-at-Psychedelic-Velocity.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. BetacommandBot 03:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Gonn-SingleCover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gonn-SingleCover.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. Dark Falls talk 08:30, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Milan-45-single-label.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Milan-45-single-label.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion 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. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 05:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

  • NFCC is Wikipedia's Criteria for Nonfree Content. That criteria stipulates that articles should have as few nonfree images as possible or, if possible, only free images. Since the article for the single already has 1 nonfree image, a second image of what is essentially the same thing, is unnecessary and thereby fails the NFCC. In addition, you've been adding a great deal of unsourced original research to the article for the single and this is unacceptable under the guidelines for original research. Your personal investigations into the price of the single or how widely regarded it is are unacceptable for inclusion in the article. Thanks, Cumulus Clouds (talk) 17:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment on Wonderwall

I'm in line with your feeling: this might be the best Beatles solo. It's a superb album with rich contrasts, great recording technique. Utterly undervalued.
