[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Kiniski-06.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kiniski-06.jpg. The image description 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.

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.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Garner1.jpg)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Garner1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

The image of Jennifer Garner that was obtained for both her bio and that of her Alias character Sydney Bristow was obtained from the same website as that of the other Alias cast members with photos in their actor and Alias character bios (www.abc.com) - I see no reason why the other cast members can have photos in their bios while Garner's photos keep getting removed, and I don't believe that the removal is fair, as her photo is just as useful as those in the bios of the other Alias cast members.--Starbuck-2 11:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

All copyrighted images require a detailed fair-use rationale for each use on the Wikipedia. Your changes to Jennifer Garner, etc. were reverted because you have violated this policy. --Yamla 15:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I already said that the image of Jennifer Garner in her bio was obtained from the same source as those of her castmates on Alias (at www.abc.com), and none of the others' bios or photos are having the same problems - I also believe that the picture on Garner's bio is every bit as useful as those of her Alias castmates.--Starbuck-2 19:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Featured article candidate review: Buffy article

Hi

You maybe interested to know that the article 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has recently been nominated as a candidate to become a featured article. Should it become a featured article, it will be possible for the article to appear on the Wikipedia main page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997).

Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination, would be wonderful. Thanks -- Paxomen 18:23, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you commented on the Buffy article's status at Talk:Buffy the Vampire Slayer, however for a vote to count towards the fate of an article it needs to be done at: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A number of editors have highlighted many areas in which the article needs to improve. I think it could be done though. Thanks -- Paxomen 11:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Ah, okay - not a prob (lol). Starbuck-2 11:54, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Buffy nomination restarted: Since you have were involved with discussion before at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you might appreciate knowing that the nomination for the Buffy article has been restared at the same wiki page. I am letting everyone know who might not be aware (whether they were for or against the article becoming featured). Cheers -- Buffyverse 22:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] That's not how Wikipedia works

You reverted virtually all of my changes to CKNW (AM), reinstating grammatically incorrect sentences that I spent an hour fixing last night. That's not how it works; you don't own that article. Please, read what I've changed, and feel free to improve on it...but don't simply revert it to an inferior version. I don't claim that my last version is perfect, but it was improvement over what was there. If you have specific issues with what I've changed, please comment on Talk:CKNW (AM). -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 16:00, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship

I am sorry, but I had to revert back to my last edits because the NWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship used in the Toronto area in the 70's and 80's was revived by ECCW in 1998. Go to Solie.org if you don't believe me. I am just adding what is correct. Mr. C.C. 20:15, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

The Wrestling Titles history website (http://www.wrestling-titles.com) does not consider the Toronto Canadian title and the current NWA Canadian title to be the same title. They are kept listed separately on that site, which is based on Gary Will's Wrestling Title Histories book (which also counts the Toronto title and the current title as separate championships), so they should be kept as such on Wikipedia. Starbuck-2 22:33, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
A lot of stuff on Solie.org is based on Gary Will's Wrestling Title Histories book also. But it says that ECCW revived that title. So obviously it was that very title used in the Toronto area because saying that ECCW revived it would be false. Mr. C.C. 23:10, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ivan Ackery

A tag has been placed on Ivan Ackery, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ju66l3r 05:14, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on 1990s CTV prime time schedules, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Steve (Slf67) talk 03:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Primetime schedules

I've seen a few of these similar TV schedules deleted at AfD, for having too much trivial, non-encyclopaedic information. Wikipedia is not for indiscriminate lists of information. It's your call but I'm pretty sure it will get deleted sooner or later. I'd hate to see you waste your time. --Steve (Slf67) talk 03:25, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Amanda

Please understand that no one likes the Buffy series more than me. When I refer to "fanspew" I mean specifically the tendency of people who like a particular fictional work to want to show their devotion by creating a large number of poorly referenced articles about minor characters or aspects of the series, as opposed to creating excellent articles about the series and its main characters. One of these days I will create an essay WP:DONTSPEW which expresses this thought more clearly. If someone really likes, say, a hypothetical "Captain Happy" series, thay may after creating an article about the Captain, his ally, and his nemesis, start creating articles about his beard, his hat, his left boot, his right boot, his pipe, etc. These would only be justified if each of these had multiple independent reliable sources with nontrivial coverage. Otherwise, they should be merged to the main article, unless the sheer abundance of sources satisfying WP:A make the main article too long. Regards. Edison 02:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not an issue that requires settling. If you go over the history of the template, the editor's notes etc. you'll see a consensus was long since established that it's for major characters only. Why not add Mr. Trick? Exactly.~ZytheTalk to me! 11:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Videocraft-1966.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Videocraft-1966.PNG. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. MER-C 11:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warning: WP:BLP violation

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Brian Adias, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Please find and add a reliable citation to your recent edit so we can verify your work. Uncited information may be removed at any time. Thanks for your efforts, and happy editing! Burntsauce 21:00, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "unfair block by Alkivar based on claims of "willful" WP:BLP violation and image copyvios"


Decline reason: "You need to stop violating copyright and reverting to BLP violating versions of articles. Can you do that?? Burntsauce 20:14, 5 June 2007 (UTC)"

Please make any further unblock requests by using the {{unblock}} template. However, abuse of the template may result in your talk page being protected.

If the block is based on my trying to improve the Brian Adias article, I do know that the events in Adias' career happened (including his list of championship wins), it's just a matter of trying to find the corresponding articles elsewhere online to confirm what appeared in the article (which is sometimes not easy to do) to include as references. I had not intended for this to end up turning into an edit war (as some might perceive it), and I apologize if that's the case here.

As for the image copyvio claims, isn't one of the expressed intents of Wikipedia to improve the site through the inclusion of photos in the articles? By having the photos for particular articles removed, that just goes against that intent and deals a reverse to the improvement of Wikipedia. I'd also like to be able to better explain why the photos/images belong in the articles they appear in.

One more thing - where does this supposed "ton" of copyvios come from? Starbuck-2 03:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Okay, since I can't actually contact the administrators due to my block, I'll say my piece here.
I don't mean to intentionally violate either copyright through the inclusion of photos which may have questions about fair use in certain articles, or WP:BLP regarding articles of notable living persons. I'd like to be able to contribute to and improve Wikipedia through proper means, by following its user guidelines and by dealing with disputes over certain articles (civilly, of course) on the articles' talk pages.
So, yes, I can and will endeavor to avoid problematic editing in the future and follow Wikipedia's guidelines. Starbuck-2 10:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Saanlogo.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Saanlogo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 10:37, 12 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

From the Editor

Welcome to the inaugural edition of the WikiProject Professional wrestling newsletter! I hope this will be a good source of news to those people interested in what's happening around our pro wrestlimg community. I plan to release it every Sunday.

This newsletter will just be a way to get the community announcements to people who don't have the time to check the mesageboards, as well that to those just curious about the news. The newsleter will consist of a project news section (to do with what's happening on Wikipedia), and a current events section (relating to news in the "real world"). The newslette will also contain the Collaboration of the Week announcement.

That's all. If you have any feedback or suggestions, please post them at this talk page.

[edit] Better source request for Image:933-Peak.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:933-Peak.gif. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. OsamaK (talk) 11:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Sarah6.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sarah6.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 21:58, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:983starfm.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:983starfm.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:23, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Cineplex Odeon theatres

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article List of Cineplex Odeon theatres, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 22:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Oceanbutton1.gif

Thank you for uploading Image:Oceanbutton1.gif. 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.

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

The following images also have this problem:
