==License tagging for Image:Midnight in Hotel Suburbia by SP Howarth.jpg==

Thanks for uploading Image:Midnight in Hotel Suburbia by SP Howarth.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 19:09, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use

[edit]

For "fair use" of artwork - only in an article about the artist and/or the artwork, and only a low resolution image - you need to tag the image edit box with

{{art}}

and also provide a "fair use" rationale. See Midnight rationale which I've done. Tyrenius 22:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please be cautious per the above policy regarding any negative comments about living people. These must be verified by reliable sources. Tyrenius 15:31, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]


I think you're on safe ground, as there is an impressive and substantial list of references. I have cleaned up the article a bit. Most headings should be level 2, i.e. 2 equals signs either side ==. I think the article would be best in chronological order, as the painting was done in 2000 and the main text starts with 2006 and works backwards at the moment.

Yes, thanks for checking. I see you haven't edited for a while. Let me know if you need any assistance. Tyrenius 12:11, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, here's a few:

Inline citations - you can delete the fields you don't need and compress the template fields onto one or two lines, rather than a dozen.

In preferences, set it so you get a reminder to leave an edit summary - important for other users.

Next to the save page button, there is a preview button. You can use this to see what your edit looks like before you save it.

It might be an idea to prepare articles in a user subpage, or even off-wiki, so you don't have to hit the edit button quite so quickly. Here's a sub page User:Kipof/Draft 1. Click to open the page. You can create more if you want.

But generally, things are shaping up. If I get time to look in more detail, I will.

Small point, but headings are not normally in upper case - just capital letter to start with, and of course, it's 4 tildes ~ for signature, but I think you've worked that out.:) Tyrenius 12:27, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And in discussions on talk pages, you can use increasing numbers of colons to indent for clarity.Tyrenius 12:30, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't see any discussion about the redirect, so I've reverted it and created a shortcut: WP:CITEQR. You might want to add to any discussion on the project's talk page. Tyrenius 20:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you're having problems with using the templates in the text, you might use a different method by listing the references and footnotes in separate sections, which simplifies the code needed in the article text. See Everyone I Have Ever Slept With 1963-1995 and Harriet Arbuthnot for examples. Tyrenius 05:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Flyinggoose.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Flyinggoose.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. BJBot (talk) 12:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A "new" article for Malik Obama----

[edit]

is sure to be nominated for deletion; so I've actually done so myself here even though I believe it now passes muster due to Maliks multiple press mentions (which had not yet been catalogued when contributors had so very recently weighed in on its "Obongo" iteration. Please be patient with this proposal while those interested weight in again. (I'm notifying those who commented.) — Justmeherenow (   ) 06:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
