User talk:Explicit

Since you seem to know this stuff...

Hi there. I noticed you edited a category in WikiProject North America to fix an issue with the coding. I have no idea how most of this stuff works, so I was wondering if you could take a look at [[Category:Book-Class WikiProject North America articles]] and fix it. There definitely is a book, currently stuck in NA, and I can't figure out why Book won't show up at the class bar, and class=book in the talk page template goes to NA. Something might need to be enabled, but I have no idea as to how. If you could fix it, I would be appreciative. Sven Manguard _Talk 05:31, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

I have updated the project template code to enable the Book class. It may take a little while before all articles appear in the category because of job queue issues. __meco (talk) 08:33, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Looks like meco beat me to it. I made a null edit to the book talk page in order make it show up in the category. — ξ^xplicit 18:09, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

That's it, both of you are on the list. And Access Denied too. In the near future when I screw up the coding somewhere, I'm coming to you people. I know Clue when I see it. Sven Manguard _Talk 18:34, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Question on category

Hi Explicit! Since you seem to be quite experienced with categories, I thought I'd ask you about one I ran across earlier today that has me thoroughly confused. Category:Categories named after North American Class I railroads is the one, which is a subcat of Category:Class I railroads in North America. I can't figure out the extra layer of categorization here, especially since I've never seen another cat named "Categories named after Foo". Is there something I'm missing? Dana boomer (talk) 21:35, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi there. Well, it seems Category:Categories named after North American Class I railroads acts like a container category for eponymous categories; Category:Amtrak for Amtrak, Category:CSX Transportation for CSX Transportation, etc. Category:Class I railroads in North America, on the other hand, contains articles about class I railroads in general (Class I railroad, List of Class I railroads and so on). As for Categories named after foo, there's an entire tree under Category:Eponymous categories — ξ^xplicit 23:24, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

How fascinating. I guess I've never stumbled across any of those before. Well, thanks for the quick response! Dana boomer (talk) 00:27, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of Vermis (software)

Hi there,

I understand why the page I put together was deleted - lack of notable references. However, there are many pages on Wikipedia that have no references, not even a "References" section, and they are not even noted for deletion. Here is one example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenIT This article has been online for over 4 years with no references and is still here. I don't see how it differs from the article I wrote? If possible, I would like some clarification on this matter. I appreciate your time. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nowy9 (talk • contribs) 15:22, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello. First, I'd like to point out that other similar articles may exist, that argument holds little to no weight regarding the article's deleted. As for the actual article itself, it was proposed for deletion by another editor and went uncontested for seven days, which led to its deletion. From what I can tell, Vermis software failed to assert notability, which is required to merit inclusion on Wikipedia. — ξ^xplicit 05:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

File:Alexander Fiske-Harrison headshot1.JPG and File:The Pendulum - Before The Duel (small).JPG

Could you please undelete these images? We have received OTRS permission for them. VernoWhitney (talk) 20:42, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Photo deletion

I don't care what your little message says, I'm still typing this because this is getting retarded. The first page of file uploads asks for a copyright explanation. IT IS NOT MY FAULT if that explanation, which you must fill out in order to upload a file, is not translated onto my pictures. STOP deleting my uploads, because as I just explained, they are all my own works and it is not my fault if the GFDL notes don't pass along due to a Wiki programming error!!!!! ToddC4176 (talk) 13:21, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

There was no error with the upload form. The most likely thing that happened is that you simply forgot to choose a license to begin with. Additionally, with the notices you received, you had seven whole days to correct the issue or ask for help. There's absolutely no fault with the upload form or me, the deleting administrator. — ξ^xplicit 18:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of The Brokerage Citylink

Hi,

You deleted a page I created: The Brokerage Citylink as it was apparently non-notable. This organisation has had its work included in several newspaper articles (ie: http://www.independent.co.uk/student/career-planning/getting-job/city-slackers-how-the-square-mile-is-reaching-out-to-dropouts-1653856.html and http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/career_and_jobs/senior_executive/article756852.ece) and has won a Dragon Award.

Please can you reinstate this article. I'm happy to link it up to external secondary sources if necessary.

--graham228221 (talk) 13:50, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

Done - as a contested proposed deletion, the article has been restored on request. Make sure to add these references in the article when you get the chance, before the article is nomination for deletion at WP:AFD. — ξ^xplicit 18:29, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

FUR images

You may be interested in checking stuff tagged with {{Short-Rationale}} and {{Standard-Rationale}}.

The former is images that have some kind of an FUR, but it's not clear if all the points of WP:NFCC are met, The latter is images that are thought to meet [{WP:NFCC]] but which have a form of FUR that is non-standard or can't be detected easily by semi-automated tools and bots. As you are an experienced contributor, any efforts made in moving stuff from {{Short-Rationale}} towards {{Standard-Rationale}} by improving the FUR would be greatly appreciated. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

File:Sill plate.jpg

That one was not from flickr at all, it was already on wikipedia; I just cropped it to better show the siding. Can you restore it? Also, I'm pretty sure the other ones were fine for wikipedia; I just may have mistagged them here. They all showed up under the advanced search option of "Showing Creative Commons-licensed content for commercial use". That's how I've always used flickr to look for pictures I thought were okay for wikipedia. Daniel Christensen (talk) 22:12, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Let's see, I'll list the files and their sources. File:The Duff River; County Sligo, Ireland Kayaking.jpg, source, attribution noncommercial share-alike. File:Duquesne brewing clock pittsburgh.jpg, source, attribution noncommercial share-alike no derivative works. File:Back of Colortrak 2000 Dimenisa compatible TV.jpg, source, attribution noncommercial. File:Allis-Chalmers Model G tractor.jpg, source attribution no derivative works. File:Sill plate.jpg, source, attribution noncommercial. All these files fall under the criteria for speedy deletion, F3: Media licensed as "for non-commercial use only" (including non-commercial Creative Commons licenses), "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only" or "used with permission" may be deleted, unless they comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. — ξ^xplicit 22:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

On the Model G one, how was putting it here a derivative work? I did not change it. It just required attribution. Daniel Christensen (talk) 22:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Same with the sill plate one. Okay, on all the other ones but those two the license is wrong, but what makes those two wrong? Daniel Christensen (talk) 22:39, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

So as I now understand images have to also be licensed for derivative works? I did not know that uploading them here was considered building on, adapting or modifying them. But apparently it is? Daniel Christensen (talk) 22:44, 30 October 2010 (UTC) Oh yeah, and I had another image confused, the sill plate image was not already here. Daniel Christensen (talk) 22:45, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

(Just responding here for clarity instead of having two separate answers about the same thing on both my and Explicit's talk) It does not mean that you are making a derivative of the work, it just means that others cannot make a derivative, which Wikipedia does not allow. --Fiftytwo thirty (talk) 22:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Please see WP:ICTIC, files licensed under Creative Commons must allow for derivative works, regardless if derivative works are made or not. This is similar to images must be licensed for commercial use, even if they are never used for commercial purposes. Note that license templates like {{cc-nd}} and {{cc-by-nd}} redirect to {{Db-f9}} (it really should redirect to {{Db-f3}}, but that's for later). On an unrelated note, I hope I don't run into another edit conflict for the 415124th time. Preview button, please? — ξ^xplicit 22:51, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Jimmy Corkhill 2.jpg

Could you please explain why you deleted the above image without any notification to to myself who had taken great time to improve the associated pages. The image in question was the lead image and the best fair-use image we had. The other image represented the character several years later in the programme. Having a lead image and then another to represent a character at a different era within the programme is not unheard of, indeed there are a great many precedents set. I feel you are undermining the work being done by taking this action without first consulting those who have spent a great deal of time labouring over the articles and trying to illustrate them appropraitely. Should you have felt there was any controvention of copyright regulations it would have surely been common courtesy to have some consultation with the users who have taken the time to build these articles.

Kind regards, Mtaylor848 (talk) 00:40, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, considering I'm only the deleting admin, the burden of notifying the uploader (you) would be that of the tagger, which was Angusmclellan (talk · contribs). Contacting this user directly may yield better insight as to why the file was tagged to begin with. — ξ^xplicit 00:49, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Perhaps so. I am however intent on reuploading the image. Should it be felt that it should be deleted then I would have to request going to mediation with the issue as I don't feel there is any sufficient grounds for deletion. Mtaylor848 (talk) 13:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Canon Johnson School

Why did you delete that page? You even admitted that you couldn't find any justification for doing so. Chris Martin (talk) 18:24, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Canon Johnson C.E. Primary School was proposed for deletion by another editor, which went uncontested for seven days and was routinely deleted. Although I don't think there is a specific guideline that states that primary schools are generally not notable, the subject should still meet the criteria listed at WP:ORG. — ξ^xplicit 18:29, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Your deletion of Brian T. Skala

I am aware that you recently deleted this article. Perhaps you unaware that this actor had a lead role in television series called Just Deal in the 2000s and has guest starred in number of notable television series since. Which would allow the article to exist per WP:ENT. If main problem with the article lack of references or that the information was mostly recieved from IMDB all you had to do was add this tag: {{BLP IMDB refimprove|only=yes}} instead of simply deleting.

File:Graffiti2-alphabet.png

Hi, you deleted File:Graffiti2-alphabet.png as a non-free logo. However, it does have a free-user rationale, but I guess it wasn't tagged. But also, I don't believe this image is copyrightable in the first place. Can you undelete it please? Ariel. (talk) 19:22, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Well, it actually didn't have a fair use rationale, but if you're going to claim PD-text, please be cautious about it. — ξ^xplicit 19:29, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

I meant, it qualified for a rationale, but didn't have one listed. I am not sure about the copyright. Personally I think it's pd-text, but since I'm not sure I tagged it with multiple tags - is there someplace where I can ask someone to review it? Ariel. (talk) 22:19, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

WP:MCQ would be a good start. Some text can't be subject to copyright, depending on how "simple" it is, while others can be protected by copyright. If I had to guess, I'd probably agree that this image falls under PD-text, but seeking further input at MCQ couldn't hurt. — ξ^xplicit 22:25, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Songwriters

Do I assume that Wikipedia is working towards a situation were [Category:American songwriters] can be largely upgraded to [Category:Songwriters from any US state] ? Is every state covered at present ? Will a bot be created to carry out edits to all existing articles ? The reason I ask is that I sometimes create new Wiki articles for American blues musicians, and I may therefore need to slightly adjust my category compositions. It's no big deal either way, but I await your thoughts. Thanks,

Derek R Bullamore (talk) 11:48, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, the Category:American songwriters by state tree is a work in progress that I started. I've only created 24 of its subcategories and they aren't very populated... Category:American songwriters being populated by over 2,000 pages doesn't help, so this will definitely take a while. Feel free to jump into creating more categories where needed. — ξ^xplicit 18:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello again. I have taken the liberty of editing those articles that I have created to help populate the 'tree'. However, there are now musicians awaiting said categories for Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Utah, Missouri, and West Virginia. Given my more recent work, I supect the Mississippi category will be, at least temporarily, one of the most populated !

Deleted image

Hi. I realise that you have deleted this file. I'm afraid there is a discussion going on regarding these images here. I think I left a message on the file talk page regarding this. I might be wrong too. Cheers --Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 14:26, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, looks like I missed that. From skimming through the discussion and reviewing the images in question, I'd say they are all derivative works from the original logos, and are still subject to copyright. As for the deleted image, it seems that Hammersoft (talk · contribs) changed the license to {{non-free logo}} and proceeded to subsequently tag it for lacking a fair use rationale. — ξ^xplicit 18:35, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Actually only the depictions of election commission of India could be covered by copyright not others. As I have shown in the bottom end of the discussion the electoral symbols can be and are depicted in any given form and hence those depictions can't be held as copyright of the Election commission. Isn't it? Cheers --Wiki San Roze ^†αLҝ 08:17, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Marina Watanabe

I noticed you deleted the page on the Japanese singer and TV personality, Marina Watanabe. I had no part in that article, and I assume it got deleted because it had inadequate proof of notability and no one protested it. But as someone who has lived in Japan on and off for 20 years, I can attest to her notability: as the Japanese Wikipedia states, she has over 12 albums, has appeared in over 40 TV dramas (starring in about half), was a regular on many variety shows, and has published 8 books. She currently is a regular on two shows and appears in many more. A Google search of her name in Japanese comes up with over 1,000,000 hits, with 38000 just for photos of her [5]. I don't have the time to come up with citations for all this, but while there are many extremely minor idols and anime voice actors who still clutter Wikipedia, this is one person who actually is known by pretty much anyone in Japan.

Mistaken deletion

Hi, Explicit. You appear to have mistakenly deleted an image file here. The deletion discussion indicates there was no reason for the deletion of that image. Could you please correct the edit? Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 05:20, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Oh dear, I've followed the trail and it seems like a huge mess occurred. SchuminWeb (talk · contribs) removed the discussion from the October 23 log and moved it to October 31 log. Leevanjackson (talk · contribs) reverted SchuminWeb's removal nearly 48 hours later, where others voiced their opinions, which would probably have led to a keep. However, the discussion also continued on the October 31 log, where the result of the discussion led to the image's deletion. My edit summary pointed to the October 23 log as the link wasn't properly changed when the image was relisted, so that only helped add to this huge mess. Agh! I've restored the file. — ξ^xplicit 06:30, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering about that! It looked like there was a clear consensus for Keep but the image was gone, so I asked a follow-up question.

Anyhow, it was obviously an honest mistake and I'm just glad you fixed it. Dylan Flaherty (talk) 06:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm just glad no one called it admin abuse and declared "off with his head!" — ξ^xplicit 06:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Deleted jpg files from web page /wiki/Rosemarie_Koczy

Dear Sir/Madam,

I followed the instructions on getting the estate administrator to sign the release forms for the 5 images mentioned in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Explicit/Archive_31#Possibly_unfree_File:Rosemarie_Koczy_Sculpture107_2002.jpg I could not see how to bring this archived page back into foreground, so I left comments there. The text is:

I contacted OTRC by sending them (permissions-en@wikimedia.org) an e-mail titled "Rosemarie Koczy Sculpture107 2002.jpg (5 files total)" on October 22, 19:45 EST. The e-mail contained a statement from the estate administrator that he indeed permits use of these 5 files for the Wikimedia purposes. I never received an acknowledgement that the e-mail was received, and files were not restored to the web page. Please help. Yashchi (talk) 19:40, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
