Picture of Chloë

(X-Posted) Are you saying that the image you posted on Chloë Agnew is not a modification of any image that was found on the Internet or a promotional image (or other copyrighted image)? Remember, simply modifying an existing copyright image does not grant you the right to copyright/copyleft it yourself. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 08:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

The image I uploded to wikipedia was make by myself using paper and wax pencil...and scanner to the computer. This a free image. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitthus (talk • contribs) 08:48, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Thank you for the clarification. I would strongly suggest that you add wording to that effect to the image page itself, or if you would prefer, I'd be happy to do this for you. I'm sorry if I came off strongly, but I'm very picky when it comes to licenses. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 08:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

By the way, if you are looking for Brazilian userboxen, check out Wikipedia:Userboxes/Location/Places in Brazil to get started. Welcome to Wikipedia, and if you need any assistance, don't hesitate to leave me a message. Cheers! -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 08:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

I hope it is all right now. Thanks. Mitthus - 09:36, 1 September 2007

Note that this image was later determined to be a photomanip of a copyright image.

Please explain to me...

Please explain how The Avenue Mall is promotional material. I'm new to this and I'd like to try to improve my articles. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Murfreesboro (talk • contribs) 21:18, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) I'll be honest, given it was a full month ago that this article was created, I cannot remember exact reasons why I prodded it for deletion. In any case, the deleting admin must have agreed with me in this situation. More than likely, it was the way the article was worded, perhaps not maintaining a neutral POV, presenting material in the form of an advertisement, having a lack of notability or acceptable sources, or maybe a combination of these and/or other factors. I honestly cannot tell you at this point.

What I can provide you are some links on how to best write articles. Check out Wikipedia:The perfect article, Wikipedia:Guide to writing better articles, Wikipedia:Guide to layout, and the various links provided in side columns and footers on those pages. There are lots of resources for writing articles, but the basics are as I mentioned above: maintain a neutral POV, present all issues equally, include material that is potentially useful to a wide audience (not just a single town or small group) and cite appropriate sources.

Feel free to ask for assistance any time you need it, I check Wikipedia at least once a day, usually much more :) -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 00:10, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for explaining.!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Murfreesboro (talk • contribs) 13:09, 3 September 2007

Re: Personnel subsections

(X-Posted) Please refrain from adding subsections to the Personnel section on the Evanescence albums, as they are completely superfluous to the needs of that section, being little more than short lists already. There is no policy or guideline that states subsections must be used in place of bold text, at least none that I can locate. Please do correct me if you can find such a statement, but I looked into this long before now. Cheers. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 23:48, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe it follows from WP:MOSHEAD#Markup and WP:MOSBOLD#Boldface that proper headings should be used instead of simulated headers using bold text. Also note that using ";" alone is abusing the HTML <dt> element which is meant to be used together with a <dd> element to create a definition list. Also note that WP:ALBUM#Track listing says to use subsections, so it's quite reasonable to do the same in the personnel section. So my position is that if there is to be a subsections in the personnel section, they should use proper headings. However, I don't think a subsection is really warranted in this case. --PEJL 05:20, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) As you prefer, I'll follow up here:

Hmm. While I understand that ";" is intended to be used alongside ":" for definition lists, using it alone does not break any code, thus can hardly be considered abuse. Also remember that in this situation, we are not necessarily needing to fully subdivide or subsection the material into individual sections, which is considerable overkill, merely to set one list apart from another. I'd be just as happy using the traditional '''bold''' markup, but since the text is entirely on one line, it uses five fewer bytes of wikimarkup, which while minor, seems more proper to me. Yes, I'm a headcase like that :) More specifically, I strongly dislike cluttering up the TOC with such minor material when a single section header suffices. I almost consider this instance to be a type of table header, though it realistically is not. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 06:43, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Well it breaks HTML, which is why I consider it abuse. Using ";" or ''' also causes problems for readers using assistive technology, whereas using proper subheadings with proper nesting as outlined at WP:MOSHEAD#Markup makes the content accessible to all. I don't think there's really a fundamental difference between subdividing a section or setting one list apart from the other. It's really the same thing. If a section is to be set apart from another, using subheadings is the way to do so, for the reasons listed at WP:MOSHEAD#Markup. --PEJL 17:19, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Cait g328

Looks like you reverted this person's edits a few months ago, something about a person's name, well, it looks like all she does is go around changing peoples names. Check her contributions. I've undone a lot of them. Ospinad 02:27, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Thanks for the notification; I've removed that particular edit. User originally cited IMDB, as I recall, and the name is not even reflected there anymore. Seems user is randomly adding made-up names to articles, but time will ultimately tell. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 02:54, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

P.S.

(X-Posted) Dhaluza, excellent work on the ARCHER article, it is obvious you've put considerable effort into it. Well sourced and well written. Just one thing: while I sort of like the use of quotes in the reference templates, I don't like how they overly clutter the article body area. They aren't required for use, and I would suggest that they be removed...it shouldn't be difficult for an interested reader to locate the appropriate section in the cited text simply by searching or narrowing down based on page number or whatever. Removing them has two positives, it keeps the article body code clean and easier to handle (as I mentioned above) and keeps the citation area clean and easier for readers to use. Any thoughts? -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 01:59, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I deliberately use the quote function on all citations for two reasons: 1) it allows the reader to quickly verify the info and see how it was modified in the the article, and 2) more importantly, web links often go dead and having a quote makes it possible to find content after it has moved, or to find other versions of the material for cross-checking. I think use of the quote function should be encouraged. The visual clutter is a small price to pay, and it is mitigated somewhat by using the {{reflist}} template.

P.S. If you liked Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Reconnaissance‎ you may also enjoy 300-page iPhone bill Dhaluza 02:29, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Heh, don't get me wrong, I love the citation templates, and citation work is a significant portion of what I do on Wikipedia, I just don't like the clutter induced, but you raise valid points. One thing I should mention, however, is that #2 can easily be solved by visiting http://www.webcitation.org and either manually entering websites for archiving or running the "comb" tool over the final Wikipedia article (with "consider all links" checked). This guarantees that the cited website information will never be lost. I'm currently in the process of doing this to all the articles I monitor, and do it with all new citations. Extraordinarily handy in a way that the Internet Archive isn't.

Also, I should say that I was very impressed with the iPhone bill article, enough so to warrant another Keep in the AfD :) -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 04:25, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, based on your encouragement, I nominated both for GA, so feel free to review or comment. I did cut down the quotes and removed the blank cite fields to clean things up at ARCHER as well. I also tried the Webcitation service. It's a neat idea, but it's a lot of work. We really need an automated bot to do this. I can't imagine doing this all by hand!

Chloë Agnew image

Hi. I post a message for you on Talk:Chloë Agnew. Thanks.--Mitthus 01:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Mr. Benjamin , I already read the topics about license process that you sugest. I will need your assistance if Celtic Woman Ltd give this license. Thanks for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.43.39.35 (talk) 02:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Copyrights

(X-Posted) Hey Na, quick note, we can't use copyrighted images like logos in the User space. I went ahead and removed them from your front page. Sorry! -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 03:11, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Dang...really? I was thinking that for identification purposes copyrighted images could be used pretty liberally.Nf utvol 03:13, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Nope, unfortunately. Pretty much, copyrighted and other non-free images are completely restricted to articles. Not even supposed to be placed on talk pages. Kind of odd, but they have their reasons. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 03:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh well. Can you get on AIM or IRC?Nf utvol 03:23, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) I'm at work right now, probably won't get home till 12:30, then straight to sleep. Long day of classes tomorrow. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 03:39, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Haha, okay, stop with the Latin, it's just annoying ;) "Magister Artium" indeed... -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 17:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

haha! but it sounds so much smarter! by the way, take a look at 118th Airlift Wing. I stuck up the copyright notification this morning, and cleaned up what I could. Take a look at the earlier versions though, it's a jewel.Nf utvol 18:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

(X-Posted) Problem: Any Air Force, and thus ANG site, is considered to be in the public domain, so thus there is no copyright violation unless that particular web page quotes or otherwise provides copyrighted text. Probably will want to take down that copyvio notice and clean it up yourself into something more pretty and diverse. -- Huntster ^{T • @ • C} 18:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Even though it's public domain, it is still considered plagiarism, which goes against wiki rules, right?Nf utvol 18:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Note that I later phoned User:Nfutvol to explain the intricacies of public domain material. I think I presented it well enough!

Wikimaina Atlanta meeting

We will be holding a meeting tonight at 9:30pm EDT in #wikimania-atlanta on irc.freenode.org. For more information about IRC see m:Wikimania_2008/Bids/Atlanta/IRC. Please try to be at this meeting as it is one of the last ones before bidding ends and we still have lots that need to be discussed. --Cspurrier 19:38, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I think that the statement that you restored regarding her ability to freeze witches should be removed. Per the talk pages, I thought that this issue had already been resolved. Missjessica254 21:26, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
