[edit] HelpMe Tag - RE: "Oppera," "Violince"

There used to be pages for the band Oppera as well as for the self-titled album Oppera and their album Violince. It appears that all three entries have been completely deleted and Oppera now simply redirects to Opera. This band is notable for a variety of reasons, most importantly that the lead singer is award winning singer Martika. I can find no history of these pages being voted for deletion, so can someone please tell me what the heck happened?? TheGoonSquad (talk) 13:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

The article Oppera was nominated for deletion in April. The deletion discussion for the band at Articles for Deletion (AfD) is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oppera (2nd nomination). You ought to have been notified here on your talk page about the AfD when is was posted, which the nominator apparently forgot to do. The concern was notability, which the article eventually got deleted for. The page was re-created by another user for a redirect to Opera because it's "a plausible misspelling/typo" [1], which probably doesn't have anything to do with your article being nominated for deletion. I would suggest that you be bold and create the article again by editing this page. Be sure to add facts about the band's notability using reliable sources. Let me know on my talk page or add the {{helpme}} template again if you have any more questions. :) --JamieS93 13:44, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Although it's somewhat "indirect" notability, it sounds like it's good enough to me. As long as you have several reliable sources in the article along with some proven notability, it should be fine. I added a "References" section to the article, by the way, so that your references can show up in that section at the bottom of the page. I'd be happy to help you expand the article if you'd like. Have a great day! --JamieS93 16:40, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gender Identity quote

Can you provide any more information about the Orrin Hatch Wikipedia quote? i.e. what time it was given or what he quoted exactly? Kaldari 15:50, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

I did my best to expand by including time and a summary of what he quoted but I could not directly quote what he said. TheGoonSquad 17:26, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: constant removal of content at The Dark Knight (film)

And how is one supposed to know that without an adequate citation from a reliable source, pray tell? A YouTube link to this idiot celebrity gossipmongerer would not constitute such, I would guess. Liquidfinale (Ţ) (Ç) (Ŵ) 18:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I feel your pain. Try Comic Book Resources http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=12518 or another source, perhaps. That seems to be the big issue. joshschr (talk) 18:34, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I just wanted to say that I appreciate your attempted contribution to The Dark Knight (film). However, YouTube is not an appropriately reliable source, despite its content being verifiable. It's better to cite something more static where there's a reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight. There's a lot of viral marketing going on with this film, and it's not possible to report every aspect of it. We need to provide a historical perspective for this marketing, and considering its scale, there will likely be coverage from solid reliable sources. I think that the alternative provided by Joshschr above would be appropriate, but if possible, it should be replaced by something even more concrete. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:49, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] R.E: shock site and lemonparty.org

The only source I found was a link to a video clip, and that isn't enough. Sources need to be something like reports or newspaper articles, or something that proves its notability and reliability. If you can find those, you can add the site back. --AAA! (AAAA) 00:02, 16 December 2007 (UTC)


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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Sandragems.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 16:35, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
