Fair use rationale for Image:Watchtower.org 2008-01-03.PNG

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Watchtower.org 2008-01-03.PNG. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

AfD nomination of Jw.org

An editor has nominated Jw.org, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jw.org and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Cowboy_junkies_200_More_Miles_-_Live_Performances_1985-1994.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cowboy_junkies_200_More_Miles_-_Live_Performances_1985-1994.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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.

Citing references

The changes you made to the clean-up of the references and notes sections of the Erotic lactation article are puzzling me. You seem to have reverted to a redundant structure of both notes and footnotes, while including a separate references section which include unattributed references to other references and notes.

Also, the reference to the article from the Times is again referenced twice, and the spelling errors have been overlooked.

I'd be grateful if you could explain or fix these perplexing edits. Thanks. Redblueball (talk) 20:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:JW.org screenshot 2008-01-03.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:JW.org screenshot 2008-01-03.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.

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).

Hi Esprit15d, I'm just letting you know one of your Twinkle edits deleted an entire paragraph by mistake. On another note, I believe Clifford Goldstein is notable by Wikipedia standards (it was speedily deleted). I intend to recreate the article (albeit with better secondary reliable sources), and am informing you both as a courtesy and to show I am not simply trying to spam cruft.

Speedy deletion of Template:Ciuc

A tag has been placed on Template:Ciuc requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

Hello. I really appreciate that you helped with that information. But I doubt it's enough to settle the disagreement, so I wonder if you'd agree to put the listing back on WP:3O. I know you're not supposed to ask for a fourth opinion if the third one doesn't go your way, but it doesn't seem like the third opinion went either way here.

Queries about Back To Black

I just saw on your user page that you have worked on the article. I have the following doubts:-

The credits section is about every song and not the album. Its long and ugly too. This article is about the album and these credits would suit the song articles. I would suggest something like in Love.Angel.Music.Baby. What say?

United World Chart does not certify albums right? It does not give certificates like RIAA and ARIA do. In order to denote the sales it puts that platinum triangle in its chart. I had put that note on the Chart table but it seems someone has again put back that 3×Platinum back there. Indianescence (talk) 04:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brett Novak

Hi Esprit15d, I believe Brett Novak is notable by Wikipedia standards (it was speedily deleted). It says in the deletion logs that it was removed because it "was a redirect to an non-existent page", which is incorrect. The information on the page was correct, and is from a notable source.

If this is incorrect, please explain more on this issue. hszerszen (talk) 20:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your help needed

First, thank-you for taking time to comment on the Jung Myung Seok biography article. You involvement is very much appreciated. May I ask you for further assistance? Immediately after you posted your comment an editor named RB972 reverted all of the changes currently under discussion, and as well, he removed the tag indicating that there was a dispute underway. In now way has this dispute been resolved, yet his actions are like a dictator, determining by himself when disputes are resolved. This is not the first time this exact scenario has occurred.

So, currently on the article all of the blog sites that you agreed are unreliable sources have been re-included into the article. In my opion this article has been co-opted by agents seeking to defame the person in question through the manipulation of his biography on Wikipedia. Case in point: notice that one editor of the article goes by the handle of Capt. Porridge. His edits are consistently negative and his Talk edits are accusatory and intimidating to other editors as well as myself. Most importantly, notice that 15 of the 41 source citations point to his blog and message board website, which exists soley to attack Jung Myung Seok and the religious movement he started. You can find a link to his website here: http://www.jungmyungseok.com/falsemessiah.proboards23.com.

Using the Wikipedia tools such as RfC, I have tried to reason with them and involve outside editors, but they simply ignore mine and everyone else's opinions and judgements, just like they ignored yours. What is the next step? I'm saddened that a Wikipedia biography is being manipulated to promote hate and biased viewpoints. Regardless of who the man is or what he has done or not done, Wikipedia is not the place to proclaim judgements that have not yet been made.

Finally, let me tell you why this article needs urgent attention. Today Jung Myung Seok was extradited to Korea to face trial. At this very moment journalists from all over the world are reading this article believing it contain fact. Please know that I realize the article is going to contain negative things--I'm not trying to reproduce my own bias.

That is hardly neutral. There are two examples of outside editors commenting: Cyrus third opinion about your friend QCA [2].. The other is on your talk page. Users that pop out of the blue, don't have any edits to any other topic (like you) and take your side don't count. I haven't ignored Espirit15d - I agree that user-generated blogs shouldn't be in the article, but I don't agree those two websites (rickross and RNB) are user-generated blogs. I'll be happy to listen to Espirit15d's argument whichway on that issue. RB972 01:37, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sól (band)

What the hell? First, don't accuse a user who's been here for three years of vandalising articles. Second, as there have been BLP concerns raised about the section, restoring it might be vandalism in itself. Will ^(talk) 14:01, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's okay. By the way, I did a word count - 42% is about her drug and related problems, which is really too much - it should be 15-20% of the article as an absolute most. Will ^(talk) 14:24, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So are we to assume that we will be permitted three paragraphs and controversies must be merged with music, regardless of consensus of the participating editors, or editing will either remain or again be locked? And by whom are we supposed to run any improvements before we are permitted to add it back to the article? I really object to having this dictated without the active participation of those who have unilaterally determined what will or won't be allowed, as the notes left today appear to imply. What really bothers me is that no one I have asked seems to either want to take on the issue of this former administrator's authoritarian behavior, or has issue with it. Frankly, I'm ready to walk away from the article. Wildhartlivie (talk) 21:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amy, again

I couldn't believe it was put in after I thought I was clear that it didn't belong. While I have no great liking for her, and I don't plan on putting too much more effort into the article (though I will come in and whittle from time to time), I realize that this article needs to walk a line between a tabloid fest and a whitewash. I do appreciate your decision to remove the full protection and take a stand about what was going on. In any case, the guy who wrote the section about the UN story is still pressing for it to be in the article in some way. I need to look at the Kate Moss and Pete Doherty articles to see if it has been slipped in there. Wildhartlivie (talk) 00:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Richard Arthur Norton

Re. your comment "RAN, haven't we discussed this before?" here, indeed you have. This editing practice of RAN's has been discussed, and complained about, by myself and many other editors ad nauseum, and still he persists. For the ongoing discussions I'm involved in, see Talk:G. David Schine and Talk:William Remington in addition to Elizabeth Bentley, where you commented. See Wikipedia talk:Citing sources/Archive 19#Quotes in references for a discussion where nine editors argued with RAN against his practice. I even brought a RfAr on the issue, and although it was accepted, it appears the ArbCom isn't going to take any action on this particular issue; see Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Footnoted quotes/Proposed decision.

Anyway, thanks very much for your comment. RedSpruce (talk) 19:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: It appears RAN doesn't consider your opinion valid. RedSpruce (talk) 20:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hovhaness/discrimination

Just to be sure I understand our policies.

I would have thought that if (say) a print biography of Hovhaness, or an interview published in the Boston Globe, quoted Hovhaness as saying "My family left Somerville because of thus-and-such," then

You could not cite this as a reference supporting "Hovhaness' family left Somerville because of thus-and-such," but

You could cite it as a reference supporting "Hovhaness said that his family left Somerville because of thus-and-such."

And if the information was only second-hand... say an interview with Hovhaness' neighbor had been published in a reliable source... then

you could not say "Hovhaness said that his family left Somerville because of thus-and-such," but
you could say "Hovhaness' neighbor reported him as saying that his family left Somerville because of thus-and-such."

That is, we can have "facts about opinions."

The problem as I see it is that Berkofsky's conversation with Hovhaness' neighbor has not "published" at all, except perhaps on somebody's personal Tripod web page... so there's no reliable source even for this as a "fact about opinions." Dpbsmith (talk) 23:05, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought your comment on the talk page could be interpreted to mean that there was simply no possible way to include Hovhaness' opinion at all.

However, it's probably not worthwhile discussing this on the Talk page, my perception at the moment is that it doesn't really matter, as I don't think Martin Berkofsky understands our policies and I don't think he has any appropriate references to point to, so I'm afraid it's likely to be frustrating for him.

My feeling is that a brief mention of Hovhaness' family moving because they felt Armenians were being discriminated against, really is entirely appropriate if it's brief (in proportion to its importance) and if it's sourced... and, of course, properly attributed (X says Y says Z...)

Hi. Would it be possible for you to stop over to this article, read the current discussion on the talk page and weigh in, please? I have reservations about getting too far into this with this editor as I presented evidence at the ArbCom case regarding him and know this is going to be a problem. Thanks! Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's a problem. And I don't think it's going to be easily solved. He's started putting in his unnecessary quotes, he's putting in not only article titles in the sources from the New York Times, but the old-style subtitles as well and argued that it's my aesthetics and preference, not a policy, he's linked to someone's wordpress blog, he's managed to change her name (from her legal name to also including an affectation she adapted the last few years of her life - which I clearly stated should not be in the lead sentence of the article, but maybe in the section after her rift with her sister), and I'm just through. He never discusses issues at hand, but instead, talks around them and ignores the real issues. A good example is when I asked him why it was necessary to include the subtitles for one references and ignore them for others. He refused to respond although I asked him twice, and instead, put subtitles in another reference and said it was "per talk page." That's the second time tonight he's used deception in his edit summaries. The first was when I removed the article title from the quote parameter and he returned it as a title saying that he'd "restore full title to NYT article." I called him on the deceptiveness twice, and he refused to respond. I kept pounding in that he was putting in subtitles, and yes, I may have been a bit rude the second time, but it was after I had said "We thank (him) for the birthdate of Andrew Borden" and he replied "There is really no need for the sarcastic "We thank ...", when it is you speaking." How nice is that? There is no working with this man and no attempts at collaboration. He charges in, adds what he wants - which is usually just copious references that don't always source what it is supposed to - and refuses to discuss objections to what he's doing. When he finally grasped that one of the links to the New York Times required payment to access it at all, he then proclaimed that everything that was needed was covered in the title and no one needed to read it. There was a link to a page on a Library of Congress project which was a newspaper from the first part of the 20th century. The Library of Congress page allowed one to zoom in and enlarge the paper in order to read the copy easily. He saved an image of it and uploaded it to Wikipedia and replaced my citation to the LoC page with a link to the image he uploaded. How is that an improvement? I can barely read his image copy, it is blurry and the print is quite small. I thought I was finished with this man, but he showed up at this article I had worked on today after I came across an article he'd added copious quotes to and removed the quotes. He put the same thing in the article in April and I removed it then, with the same rationale that I gave today, when he returned it. It feels a bit like wiki-stalking. *sigh*. But anyway, I feel better now, although I don't know what to do about this. Maybe quit, I don't know!! Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:48, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If it's not a G4 candidate I'll probably take it to AfD again (notability issues). Regards, Guest9999 (talk) 14:15, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Slidell High School

The text I blanked was a long description of the Junior ROTC club at Slidell High. I had just gotten through deleting a separate article on the club by the same author. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 14:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Various Artists - Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Various Artists - Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason.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) 05:53, 27 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rapidshare link on John Mayer > Writing

I know John Mayer is taper-friendly and allows sharing of live recordings, however has Z100 given their permisson for this show to be re-distributed as well? It is not offered as a download on their site, only streaming in a flash-player, so I would be hestitant to link to it if you are not 100% certain it is not a violation of WP:COPY.

In the Good Old Summertime (song)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of In the Good Old Summertime (song), and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.adkinsfamily.org/in%20the%20good%20old%20summertime.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 19:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
