From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your recent contribution(s) to Wikipedia are very much appreciated. However, you did not provide references or sources for your information. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a drive to improve the quality of Wikipedia by encouraging editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. If sources are left unreferenced, it may count as original research, which is not allowed. Can you provide in the article specific references to any books, articles, websites or other reliable sources that will allow people to verify the content in the article? You can use a citation method listed at inline citations that best suits each article. Thanks!

[edit] Regarding your image contributions to Wikipedia

I am going through your images and finding that all of them do not have source information. As a Wikipedian, I wish to extend to you the tools that you need in order to properly contribute to Wikipedia. Therefore, I would like you to review Wikipedia's image usage policy, image copyright tags, and fair use and what does and does not apply. Right now, all of your images require this information -- if you are unable to provide it, the images will have to be removed from Wikipedia. (If you do want them removed, I can remove them for you as I have that ability as an admin.) I look forward to working with you. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 21:53, 21 December 2005 (UTC)


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

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Hotnasties.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 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. 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] License tagging for Image:Rockythompsonz.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Rockythompsonz.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 21:09, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I took the Link Gaetz picture. The name you see there is mine. So I am the sole owner of the copyright to this picture and I have NO PROBLEM having it put on Wikipedia. As for the Hot Nasties picture, I took a picture of my old Hot Nasties poster and here it is. For the two other pictures, do as you wish, I don't care. Terveetkadet 01:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
Okay. If you can, please upload a version of the Link Gaetz photo that does not contain your name. The Wikipedia image use policy says that "user-created images may not be watermarked, distorted, have any credits in the image itself or anything else that would hamper their free use". —Bkell (talk) 02:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rüms

I have nominated this article for deletion - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rüms. --Brianyoumans 23:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Die Mannequin

The article Die Mannequin has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. NawlinWiki 12:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

The article Care Failure has been or soon will be deleted from Wikipedia. This happened because the article seems to be about a subject but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You might also want to read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. NawlinWiki 20:58, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I have nominated the articles Die mannequin and Care Failure for deletion via AFD. I'm doing this only indirectly because of the unfriendly message you left on my talk page; I came to your talk page to leave a message, saw the message about these pages, and went to look at them. Deleting pages may not be the most valuable contribution, but I feel that it is an important thing to do; if non-notable material is not removed, then Wikipedia will become a miscellaneous collection of junk and not an encyclopedia. I also do other things; I frequently improve articles instead of deleting them. --Brianyoumans 18:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Let's not make this personal

It is Wikipedia policy to assume good intentions on the part of other editors and not to engage in personal attacks. I try to do so myself. Lots of people get signed and then get dropped before ever producing an album; I think we should wait until this band meets our requirements before having an article on them. See WP:Notability (the section on music) for reference. --Brianyoumans 19:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disruption warning

Stop disrupting Wikipedia by creating spurious AfDs. If you continue this disruption, you are liable to be blocked from editing. Demiurge 23:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Demiurge 23:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Your nomination for Hunayn bin Ishaq at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hunayn bin Ishaq has been closed as a speedy keep. In the event that you are not happy with my decision to do so, you may wish to take the nomination to deletion review. However, as noted by Demiurge, disrupting Wikipedia by creating dubious AfD nominations is behaviour which is likely to result in sanctions. Please reconsider your actions. Very best wishes, Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:01, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Let me have a look at the history between you and Brian and I will give you my opinion on what, if anything, you can or should do about it. It will only be an opinion, so I'll try and list the other options as well, even the ones that I don't think are a good idea. Cheers ! Angus McLellan (Talk) 14:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I find Brian's "list of articles I've deleted" a bit odd. Still, I suspect that I've deleted (well, tagged for deletion with WP:CSD tags or WP:PROD tags or nominated at WP:AFD) more articles than I've written, and I've written a lot more than seven articles. Lots of articles get deleted every day. If you look at the deletion log, you'll see that about 100 articles were deleted in the last hour. Likely even more get deleted on school days.

As far as Die mannequin is concerned, MER-C (talk • contribs) tagged it with {{db-band}} speedy deletion, NawlinWiki (talk • contribs) removed that and added {{prod}}, and Seraphimblade (talk • contribs) added {{prod2}}. I suspect that even if Brian had never seen the article, someone would have sent it to AfD, along with Care Failure. As for the others, Brian might have created Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rüms, but that isn't what got them deleted. Writing articles on cult local bands is always difficult, given that WP:MUSIC is pretty strict. Proving that a band is a "prominent example of a local style" (or whatever the exact words are) is pretty difficult.

If you really feel that Brian Youmans is stalking you, then you should have a look at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. A request for comments would be the first place to start. As an alternative, I'd suggest that you should keep a copy of the articles in your user space (so User:Terveetkadet/Die mannequin, User:Terveetkadet/Care Failure). Just cut and paste the whole article into the "userfied" copy, removing the category labels at the bottom. You can also ask an admin to undelete and userfy the ones deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rüms. Then keep adding references and links as you come across them until you're pretty certain that they won't be deleted again and go to Wikipedia:Deletion review and get them reviewed. If you just recreate them, someone will add a speedy deletion tag because speedy deletion criteria G4 is "recreated an article which was already deleted".

I have to say that I don't think dispute resolution is going to achieve much, and that you'd be better off doing more research and going to deletion review when you are ready. I don't suppose this is very helpful. Nil carborundum! If I can be of any help, or you want an outside opinion on anything, please let me know and I'll do my best. Cheers, Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:34, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Would you mind withdrawing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adamu Tesfaw ? There isn't much point in leaving it open, and it would look better if you withdrew it. Just add a note saying that you withdraw the nomination. Angus McLellan (Talk) 15:48, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brian Youmans

I noticed your conversations with other editors on your talk page about Brian Youmans' allegedly disruptive behavior. I have to say that I've found his edits hasty and backed up with questionable logic that defies established guidelines. Endless blue 03:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

imo, the guy needs to get a better hobby than going around deleting stuff. I'm glad that the Die Manequinn/C.F. articles survived his attacks, otherwise I would have been disappointed when I came to Wikipedia today looking for info on them. 216.234.58.18 (talk) 16:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] John Joseph

Hey! Well done for creating this article - I must get round to filling the albums section out for this band (I did Best Wishes and Age of Quarrel some time ago). Also interesting to note that A.J. Novello is a member now - I did the Leeway (band) page (well, started it anyway) so will have to put a bit about that in there too. Keep it up! Bubba hotep 14:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Furthermore, I just managed to get the article for John Joseph linked in a Sick of It All album article because he did guest vocals, see Life on the Ropes. Cheers :) Bubba hotep 09:12, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Logoradioxgrand.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Logoradioxgrand.gif. 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 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. 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.BetacommandBot 06:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Athletics_brown_2006.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Athletics_brown_2006.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Rettetast 21:11, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Beowulflogo.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Beowulflogo.jpg. 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, 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, 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}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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 16:20, 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.

[edit] AfD nomination of Beowulf (Los Angeles band)

An editor has nominated Beowulf (Los Angeles band), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beowulf (Los Angeles band) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:44, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Nwatchlogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Nwatchlogo.jpg. 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) 06:08, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Del2.gif

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Del2.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 21:14, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


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

Thank you for uploading Image:Logocaronetguaygrand.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. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
