The Music Barnstar | |
| I award the Music Barnstar to Wwwhatsup for your great job on The Clash article. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 09:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC) |
- I'm sorry but I just can't accept it. My input was minimal, whereas you have slogged day in day out for months. I am in turn awarding this star to you. Wwwhatsup (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
- You must accept the barnstar! You deserve it for all the great jobs you did (and you are doing) on that article and on all other articles related to The Clash and the underground music scene too. And, for sorting out images and (great) videos, reverting vandalism, and many other jobs you are doing on Wikipedia. Anyway, I checked out the last 500 edits on that article and I gave the barnstar to the most active wikipedians/contributors (check this out). Sometimes, the simple action to revert vandalism is better than to write a new "crap" section. Consider this barnstar as a cumulative award. Thank you so very much Wwwhatsup for the barnstar! Wish you are doing well. Take care and all the best. –pjoef (talk • contribs) 09:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

How do you feel about adding Gerald de Groot's criticism and Hatch's response to the legacy section? I think it would work really well to balance out any NPOV concerns. Let me know. Viriditas (talk) 10:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I'm interested to see how you will manage to summarize it all. Wwwhatsup (talk) 19:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've been looking at other articles for representing de Groot. First, I'm trying to get my mind around it. On the one hand, de Groot seems to be making borderline fallacious arguments; for example, trying to draw a negative parallel between scholars who call the countercultural shift a "cultural revolution" and the real, murderous cultural revolution of Mao Zedong. From what I've read, de Groot's comparison is almost unbearable and very unfair. But, he makes a really great point about those who mythologize history, and that's something we should definitely include. How would you summarize Hatch's response?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Apwlogo.gif)[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Apwlogo.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) 05:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Question re: uploading a photo[edit]
Hello- I noticed you uploaded the photo of Patti D'Arbanville from either the PUNKCAST video of the reading of Pamela Des Barres' latest book, or from You Tube. Is it acceptable to do so? Does it not violate our copyright rules, or..? Also, I had read someplace in uploading photos that they shouldn't be done with writing (even the name of the person) across the front, as it would confuse some international Wikipedians. If you DO know about copyright rules here, I really would like to upload a couple of album covers from an artist who hasn't put out an album since 1974 and who has been out of circulation. I've found perfect small versions to upload but am unsure of the rules regarding this. Can you assist me? --leahtwosaints (talk) 21:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
- That is my own photo, I shot that video. As far as the album covers go, it is possible to argue that they are of historical significance or that their is sufficient graphic notability in the style to render them fair use, but it's very possible they will fall to deletionist zealotry. I suggest justidious use of the Template:Non-free use rationale to justify any upload. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:29, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Message from WikiProject Punk music[edit]
Hello!
You may be interested to know that WikiProject Punk music has recently undergone a major revitalization. Please visit the project page to see our new look and check out some of our helpful new features, such as the Assessment Department and the Collaboration of the week. There are also a number of tasks on our Things to do page that you may be interested in helping with.
We are currently holding a roll call to help gauge how many active project members we have. Please visit the project's talk page and add your signature to the roll sheet to express your continued interest in the project. Also, if you have not already done so, please take a minute to add your name to the Participants page along with a brief summary of your punk-related interests, so that other project members will be better able to collaborate with you. If you do not add your signature to the roll sheet by November 30, 2008 your name will be moved to our list of inactive members. We may also take the liberty of removing the project userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in Category:WikiProject Punk music members. Of course you are free to rejoin the project and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active in the project again.
Thank you and we hope you will continue to support WikiProject Punk music!
 | You are receiving this message because you have previously identified yourself as a member of WikiProject Punk music, either because your name appears on the Participants page or because you have placed the project userbox on your user page. As a courtesy, if you have left the project, retired from Wikipedia, or simply no longer wish to be an active project member, please remove the userbox from your user page. This will remove you from Category:WikiProject Punk music members and help the project to keep its active membership list up-to-date. |

Speedy deletion of Image:540-02-04suicide07.jpg[edit]
A tag has been placed on Image:540-02-04suicide07.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:540-02-04suicide07.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 14:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Ari-Up.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:Ari-Up.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 12:57, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Tunde Adebimpe[edit]
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tunde Adebimpe, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.
The reason why I placed this tag is because the YouTube links you added as sources (which aren't really reliable, by the way) are taken from your own YouTube account. THE AMERICAN METROSEXUAL 16:33, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

re. The Cool Ruler[edit]
Thanks, there's still a lot of work to do here on reggae articles if someone like Isaacs can have the article he had before. I stopped short of trying to list all his singles - a near-impossible task I would have thought. I couldn't find a half-decent free photo of him anywhere. We might get away with a promo shot from a press kit or similar if one can be found. There are also still lots of big names in reggae who don't have articles here - I've added Soul Syndicate and Ken Parker (musician) today. --Michig (talk) 19:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, the Keith Hudson article needed a bit of help too. I haven't found a lot of "classic era" video footage on YouTube, but the videos of people spinning classic rare old 45's are very handy. I keep meaning to have a good go at the Dennis Brown article - I have some good sources but it could end up being a big job. --Michig (talk) 20:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
New image project[edit]
Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for embellishing the article I started with that image, but if you own the copyright, I think it might be better moved to Commons, and therefore available to other projects under the WMF umbrella. If you'd like me to do this, please drop me a line. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 21:26, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Daryl Jenifer[edit]
I redirected it boldly because it was a very short, unreferenced article that didn't assert notability outside of the band that Daryl is a member of. That's pretty common practice for members of a band: redirect unless they have sufficient notability for a standalone article.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:1177-01-03misspam02.jpg[edit]
A tag has been placed on File:1177-01-03misspam02.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- However I do notice that there are several more such video stills in the File space, can I suggest you forward consent to OTRS as well? Otherwise they might suffer the same fate if someone else sees them.

Wwwhatsup, thank you for the heads-up at Talk: Pygmalion back on April 1 regarding the two NYT articles on the 1914 premiere at the Irving Place Theatre. The information you directed us to has made it into the article, at long last. (Yes, the "probably findable" article shows the premiere was indeed delayed, by nine days.)
This is fantastic! It does have quite a history. Thank you again for the very valuable addition to Pygmalion. -- LaNaranja (talk) 23:22, 21 April 2010 (UTC)I
