Disputed fair use rationale for Image:The Normal Heart.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:The Normal Heart.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

In English, for every article the image is used, you must provide a separate fair use rationale which includes the name of the article, absolutely, precisely, without disambiguation in the description. So, this image is used twice, so you need two rationales, and for each one, the name of the article must be use stated precisely. Hope that helps. Then BCBot will leave you alone...!

Sad face

But I was so happy, David. Damn it all. read the whole page. IvoShandor (talk) 18:00, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

hey David it's Rachel

Alas I have entered your world. Only thing is..there is no icon on the Sharpton page where it says edit this page.

Thanks again for the photo. You will start seeing it (with your credit) in other places —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kharismom (talk • contribs) 20:11, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Lucasent

I took him to WP:AIV. He's on last warning now, so if you see him reverting again, don't hesitate to report him. He will be blocked. Jeffpw (talk) 20:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Goodness, Jeff. You're so strong! Such a take charge kind of man! Grrrowl! --David Shankbone 20:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Mentoring, adopting, WP:AIV...I'm on the fast track to admin here! And here are a few quotes I plan to put in my nomination: [1] [2]. They really should help pull in those still sitting on the fence! Jeffpw (talk) 20:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

lol - I'd give you a Strong support. It's easier to become a Supreme Court Justice than a Wikipedia admin. --David Shankbone 20:42, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Does this block make sense for a persistent reverter like him? Just trying to figure out how the process works. BTW, how do I find the AIV entries on him? — Becksguy (talk) 23:48, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Tompkins Square Park Police Riot (1988) GA Sweeps Review: On Hold

As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "World History-Americas" articles and just reviewed Tompkins Square Park Police Riot (1988). I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues considering sourcing that should be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I am leaving this message on your page, along with the other relevant task forces/WikiProjects/editors to the article, since you signficantly edited the article (as determined by WikiDashBoard) and figured you might be interested in helping to improve the article further. The article needs just a few more inline citations and some minor cleanup, and if fixed, I'll pass the article. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. --Nehrams2020 (talk) 08:08, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Satire and the Onion?

Yes, I agree that the Onion does fit our definition of satire - in that it is a satire on the way "news" is presented. Doesn't automatically follow that everything they say is directly relevant to this page, however, or that your edit was an improvement - but I will have another look at it and perhaps change it so it DOES fit a bit better. Like most satire - Onion has a great deal of straight humour to give a bit of relief from what might otherwise degenerate into boring "preaching". We've had so much "good faith but mistaken" stuff (as opposed to out and out vandalism) posted into this page that one has to be a bit vigilant - as it wears away what we hope is now a reasonable article on a difficult subject. Soundofmusicals (talk) 00:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Instead of editing your stuff I have added a section near the top to try to make the relationship between satire and humour a little clearer. We'll just have to see what other people think. Remember the purpose of the article is to give a fairly succinct account of what satire is rather than to catalogue everything one could say on the subject.Soundofmusicals (talk) 02:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Honored by the Puerto Rican Senate

Dear David,

I would like to share with you that today, November 28, 2007, I was honored by the Senate of Puerto Rico with the "Resolution of the Senate Number 3603" in appreciation for my work in Wikipedia regarding Puerto Rican military related articles. I was given the resolution on behalf of the Senate by the President of the Puerto Rican Senate, the honorable Kenneth McClintock. It was a total surprise which I did not expect and that is why I want to share this news with you are my friend. Tony the Marine (talk) 06:05, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Some fucking Rambo:-S

Gee, David, you're not as butch as you make out to be. you couldn't stop those Beaver terrorists, but Icairns dropped an atom bomb on them without even being asked. Now I know who to turn to in my hour(s) of need. Jeffpw 19:03, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AvenuAJoeStrummer.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:AvenuAJoeStrummer.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. BetacommandBot 20:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Re.: PETA's Founders

Next time you interview them, ask about Operation Backfire (FBI). I've seen this on HBO very recently. The documentary I Am An Animal stated that the FBI and other law enforcement has infiltrated PETA and other groups that are considered terrorists by the US and other governments, such as ALF, ELF, EARTH FIRST!, all other environmental groups. 65.163.112.205 23:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for removing the unnecessary images. Let us try to maintain this page look decent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian fortuno (talk • contribs) 06:36, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

hehehhe

That was from my adoptee. I am assuming he asked in all innocence and simply out of curiosity. Thanks for jumping in, though. you're a Prince, as always! Jeffpw 16:34, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

david

you suggested that by asking my adopter why he had been blocked, this was harrassment. Well if showing care and interest in my wikipedia adopter is that, then whatever... just like... seriously... go sort it out... Iamandrewrice 16:59, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
