Enrique A Pollack \ Henry Pollack

Could you please review my new article on this subject and support its inclusion.. I have re-written it and added additional sources. Thanks Callelinea 03:04, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Tawny Cypress

Hey, you removed the picture of Tawny Cypress as Simone Deveaux from her article citing fair use, but the images tag states:

It is believed that the use of some images of promotional material to illustrate:

* the person(s), product, event, or subject in question * where the image is unrepeatable, i.e. a free image could not be created to replace it * on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation,

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

As the image is being used on the article of the person, and there is no free equivalent (as stated in WP:FU), I believe fair use applies and it is perfectly justifiable to use the promotional picture in lieu. Perhaps an accord can be reached to replace the image? -- Kerowren (talk • contribs • count) 21:30, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

• Well that image is perfectly usable to illustrate an article on Simone Deveaux. But the same image is not usable to illustrate an article on Tawny. I specifically point you to clause one of the fair use policy:

"1. No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." (emphasis mine)

And clause eight of the unacceptable use section:

"8. An image of a living person that merely shows what s/he looks like. The rationale is that this is potentially replaceable with a freshly produced free photograph."

The absense of a free-use image does not give a free pass to having a copyrighted image on this page. Tabercil 21:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:RWpedro.jpg

Hi, do you know who the copyright holder of Image:RWpedro.jpg is? Additionally, where did they (the copyright holder) release this image as a promotional image. Thanks, Iamunknown 05:26, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

• No idea. All I know is where I found the image originally: here. I suspect (but can't prove) they took it from wikipedia, who probably took it originally from MTV's web site back when the show had first aired. What I do know is that a fair chunk of WP:FU doesn't apply as Pedro's dead. Tabercil 11:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Tiana Lynn and Squirting

Hi Tabercil, I agree that there is a link to "female ejaculation". However, the article on Tiana Lynn reads like an advertisement for her supposed skill of real squirting while obviously all she does (quite impressively) is pushing a large amount of water out of her bladder. I like Tiana very much because of her dramatic talent, her dedication and the fact that she seems to have fun, but I think the wikipedia user deserves correct information about what she really does. Bernie --82.135.90.40 21:58, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

• No... that's what you allege she's doing. And that allegation of what squirting "really is" belongs elsewhere, on the page about Female ejaculation and not on Tiana's page. If you have information from a reliable source that what Tiana in particular is not squirting, then you can add it. Tabercil 22:08, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Cailey Taylor 408994 850927.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cailey Taylor 408994 850927.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.

About Robbie Williams's Main Picture

One thing, I don't understand why you always remove my Robbie Williams' photo... according to you, it's better if I leave in the article that photo uploaded on Wikimedia Commons because it's not copyrighted, but I think that article need an other image of the singer... where he looks normally and not where he's making a live appareance... like mine.

photos for USS McFaul (DDG-74)

Thanks for noticing the problem with the USS McFaul (DDG-74) photo. I agree that we don't need to keep the image with the uncertain source when better-sourced images are available. Please see Image:USS McFaul (DDG-74) CIC.jpg and Image:USS McFaul (DDG-74).jpg for two additional U.S. Navy photos of the USS McFaul that you may want to add to the USS McFaul (DDG-74) article. --Eastmain 18:37, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Angelica Sin

Unfortunately a block wouldn't be of much help in this case since it's a dynamic IP -- well it's possible to do a range block on the ISP but there'd need to be a lot more abuse before I'd consider that as an option. Yonatan ^talk 02:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Brittany Andrews

What's your opinion of the recent removal of material regarding her opinion of the results of her breast enlargement? What do you think of these claims that lukeisback is not a reliable source? I asked the question of the editor who removed the material and of the OTRS rep, but got no response... Valrith 17:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Midori

About a month ago you asked if i could locate a reference to Midori being Jody Watley's sister.. well i found it: Blender 41, October 2005, p58. The full quote is on Midori's talk page. Es-won 21:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Number 9 web site in the world

Re: Shakira POV

Whether the opening sentence should include awards such has "Grammy winning artist" has been discussed in several other biographies such as Christina Aguilera and Kanye West and consensus was that it's not NPOV to start the opening sentence with "award winning". All admins I've talked to about this issue say it's not NPOV to begin the first sentence with an award and that it should simply state who or what the subject is. Winning awards is something Shakira has done, but it's not who she is. The awards can of course be included later in the lead, but not in the opening sentence. Although it is true, she's won an award, starting off with "Grammy award winning" is trying to cast her in a positive light and is bias. You won't find a print encyclopedia starting off like that.
