Hi. When you recently edited Štivor, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Prnjavor (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Halo Burger

You edit to the Halo Burger article was reverted because it is clearly false. Halo Burger was founded as Kewpee in 1923 and changed its name to Halo Burger in 1967 with the same management and food. Only the name was changed, everything else remained the same. Even Halo Burger's logo says "since 1923." Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:51, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thanks for that :) GrahamHardy (talk) 13:06, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Now I'm trying to avert an edit war, but I need help with the Halo Burger article as I reached 3RR. Can you help? Steelbeard1 (talk) 21:02, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Book covers

I've got a question about this file and others like it: File:AnneOfAvonlea.jpg. This book was published in the USA before 1923 and is two-dimensional, so I'm wondering why it wasn't uploaded to commons? I've uploaded 100+ USA book covers and title pages using the commons tag ({{PD-US}}):

"This media file is in the public domain in the United States. This applies to U.S. works where the copyright has expired, often because its first publication occurred prior to January 1, 1923".

Category:Sculptures

It's a bit late now, but is it actually a good idea to put sculptures just into a "by year" category? One of the main uses of categories is for searching for articles you can't quite remember the name of, and if they are tucked away only in a date category covering just a single year, this is likely to be impossible. I would have left them in the main category myself, or at least left them also in some larger category. They should at the least also be in a "by country" or "by city" etc category as well; please do this. Before embarking on any future schemes like this, please seek comments at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Visual arts (or whatever the appropriate project is). Thanks, Johnbod (talk) 19:03, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:TristanNovella.jpg needs authorship information

Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:TristanNovella.jpg appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|GrahamHardy/Archive 2}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or use the {{own}} template.

If this is an old image, for which the authorship is unknown or impossible to determine, please indicate this on the file description page.

If you have any questions please see Help:File page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:58, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:WilliamWetmoreStory.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:WilliamWetmoreStory.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:54, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Just to clarify why I tagged this one: it's not the cover as such that's copyrighted (it's pre-1923, so it's public domain, or might even be ineligible in the first place because of its simplicity). But the photograph is copyrightable, as it's a 3D photograph and not just a mechanical reproduction of a 2D page. BTW, is it actually really an original cover? It looks like a library binding to me.

Ethics in Publication

Hi, first of all I want to say I have read your contributions and I congratulate you for the excellency of your work. I would be exceedingly grateful if you could help editing an article. The book I refer to you is the Autobiography of a Yogi. I will try to make a small résumé of what is happening. The book was published in 1946. This first edition is being widely reprinted and can be freely read and downloaded (for years) in many sites, including the Guttember Project. One of the publishers, Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF) made literally hundreds of change in the text after the author´s death - without providing any proof of the author´s wishes to change the content of the book. They also removed and inserted photographs, changed photographs of yogis dressing them, etc. So, the book SRF publishes and sells can only be called a version. The article does not have a neutral point of view because its main editor (Red Rose) removes any of the controversy about these changes and the trajectory of the book. For you to have an idea, SRF even changed the author´s signature many years after his death wich makes us wonder if the other changes were his wishes. These are facts, not subjective opinion and SRF admits and even tries to explain the changes. Also, since there are many publishers reprinting the book - which is in public domain - the article could not be illustrated by the cover of one of the publishers (SRF) only. Either all of them should be included in the article, or only the original cover. I keep asking for an editor with experience in book articles to take a look and help to improve the article. Which is being used to advertise SRF´s version of the book, thus giving the impression Wikipedia sponsors SRF´s edition in detriment to the others. The text of the article is terrible. Since my English is not perfect, it would be a great help to have you rewriting the article. Just in the beginning it says: "Autobiography of a Yogi" is an autobiography. This is redundant and I cannot change this ugly repetition of words because they say it is a Wikipedia´s guideline to categorize the article. But I was reading well written articles and when the title of the book mentions the word "autobiography" the text goes on sayig something like: ... Autobiography of ... is a book written, or it is a mémoire, etc. Another point is the encyclpedic list of reprints of the book. Technically I think there could not be any new edition (book) of the book after the death of the author and without evidence of explicit instructions left by the author. Hoping to hear from you, I thank you for your attention. Tat Sat (talk) 14:03, 8 October 2012 (UTC) PS The cover of the first edition which is in public domain (as I have already mentioned) has just been wrongly marked for deletion, due to Red Rose mere opinion it could be copyrighted, without the presenting of any uncontested and uncontroversial factual assertion made by reliable sources. Red Roses allegations are buffling editors with good faith. I could upload it as fair use but then I would be giving a wrong information because no one detains the copyright of the first edition of the book. Thank you again, Tat Sat (talk) 14:03, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid I have very little understanding on the whys and wherefores and have no appetite for an argument; all I can suggest that if you fail and the image is deleted then let me know and I'll try uploading a smaller version of the actual original book (as at http://www.biblioteca-ga.info/50/toon/165/26 ) and try using the simple book cover template and see how that goes... Sorry I can't be more positive but I am more than happy to have a go separately myself if required, Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 19:51, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for your answer. The problem is not the size of the cover but the false allegation of copyrights. Instead of portraying the book as a literary text, the article advertises a sect. So the intention is to use the cover of SRF´s version. Nothing stirs people to such a frenzy of shame-faced excitement as unreasoning zeal. It´s so tiresome few people have the time to help improving the article. By the way, the first edition was the only book in Steve Jobs´ ipad - as you can read in his biography. It gives the book some near present notoriety. For 3 months now I have tried unsuccessfully so far editing the page. Do you have any suggestions of what I could try to do? Also the cover you found is the cover of a reprint. I uploaded the original one, since I own the first edition. How can I use the book cover template, please, and how can I tag the article as an autobiography without saing the "autobiography" is an autobiography? By the way, I do not belong to any of the sects involved in the book publication. But the changes made in the book have wrecked the minds of a couple of friends. Until they found out that even the author´s signature was forged they lost so much time... I am delighted with your help and wish you could edit the article but I don´t have the heart to insist since you would be in for not one, but many arguments. Thank you very much and sorry for the typos. Tat Sat (talk) 21:07, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:IsisUnveiled.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:IsisUnveiled.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 22:16, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:Sonnenfinsternis.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Sonnenfinsternis.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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

File source problem with File:DarkLaughter.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:DarkLaughter.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

License tagging for File:MontezumasDaughter.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:MontezumasDaughter.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:05, 21 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Guildford Arts Book Prize

The article Guildford Arts Book Prize has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence in reliable sources of this being a notable prize.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Viking Press, Kestrel Books

Hi, I see you are cat'ing Viking Press books. Do you know whether Harmondsworth: Kestrel Books was a Viking Press imprint? (always or from what date?) Covering award-winning British children's books, I have wondered asked about this and compromised about linking "Kestrel" to Viking Press.

Here is one extended example: Thunder and Lightnings (Kestrel, 1976); Talk: Thunder and Lightning#Kestrel Books (July; my September reply to self is a red herring); Talk: Viking Press#Imprints.

Is there a group working on books by publisher? --P64 (talk) 23:05, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No idea I'm afraid - my intention had been to do the obvious pubishers first and move on to trickier ones later ! Suspect Kestrel will be a subcategory of Viking Kestrel (assuming some books were published under "Viking Kestrel") which in turn will be a sub-category of Viking Books which is a subcategory of Penguin ! But I'm only doing the easy ones first... GrahamHardy (talk) 00:51, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Skimming your top page I see "illustrate Category: Newbery Honor winning works". Are there any example categories you have "illustrated"?

Please accept this point of entry to my concern about category prefaces --such as the time period and geographical setting categories for British fiction. (Let me insert a new section here altho it is no longer the bottom of the page.) -P64

Historical fiction by setting

Category:Novels set in sub-Roman Britain has a good preface. Many ancestor and neighbor categories have trivial prefaces that I am inclined to improved --motivated partly by evidence that I and others have made some mistakes around here, but this is a pet peeve of mine about wiki categories.

Please visit Talk: The Stronghold when you have a chance. It's the partly accidental place for many specific observations and questions. --P64 (talk) 17:05, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:MountainInterval.jpg is Public Domain in US law

You posted this book cover file from a book dealer's scan. The book was published in 1916, that is, before 1923, and the original image is Public Domain. Non-creative derived works of public domain 2D images are not copyrightable under US law. In particular, US courts have ruled that "slavish reproduction" and "sweat of the brow" are not protected. See, Wikipedia:Public domain#Derived works and restorations of works in the public domain and Wikipedia:Fair use#Legal position for Wikipedia reliance on this policy, and references to the relevant US court cases.

I fixed the licensing information for File:MountainInterval.jpg to reflect this, and mentioned the above facts/cites on the talk page.

I notice you've uploaded some other public domain cover images with totally unnecessary fair-use rationale for pre-1923 images (eg, Our Mutual Friend).

I have no idea about other countries' laws. In particular, I have no idea about suitability of these images for WikiCommons.

As an aside, I noticed you mentioned (indirectly) on File:WinnieThePooh.JPG that you cropped the original image (which showed spine and cover) to just the cover, and that this somehow bypassed bookseller copyright claims (well, I think that's what you're saying). Actually, it doesn't. 90% of someone's copyrighted image will generally still be copyrighted, but he doesn't have claims period (in the US). As it is, the book came out in 1926, and if the image is still under copyright, the other reasons Wikipedia requires (which you provided) are controlling.

Conrad's Fate; The Pinhoe Egg

Hi, Re the last two Chrestomanci books by Diana Wynne Jones.

Do you have a copy of either UK first edition (or equivalent) that identifies the cover artist? S/he is distinct from the illustrators of UK (Slater, Rostant) and US (Newbold, Craig, Dorman) "recent" covers in the series --2000 to date.

Books by Publisher publishers

(I like the section heading but it fits the first paragraph only. Thus the bold heading.)

The subcats of Random House books for RH imprints or divisions or acquisitions, such as Chatto & Windus books, are also in cat Books by publisher. Is that double listing general so that the latter shows all the publishers/divisions/imprints whose books by publisher categories have been created? If not, is it general to the smaller number such as Chatto & Windus that were once independent publishers of some books covered by wikipedia articles?

Book series

Shouldn't we put Harry Potter books in Bloomsbury Publishing books and Scholastic books and remove the individual Harry Potter novels? I have in mind book series categories and articles, not Novels by J. K. Rowling if it happens that there has been one publisher for all them. Do you agree? Or disagree because there is one auxiliary Harry Potter book, not one of the famous novels, from a different publisher: The Tales of Beedle the Bard? (For Rowling among others, we have a novels by writer category that includes book articles on non-novels. I have no problem with it, at least for today.)

Series articles such as The Chronicles of Prydain may also be placed in books by publisher categories. Are you doing that at least where there is one publisher for a series? (Holt books have no category yet, iiuc.) I don't believe that categories need to be renamed for books and book series but I would say "Books and books series" in the Books by publisher category prefaces.

Fahrenheit 451... 24th century?

Hi. I noticed you added the category Category:24th century in fiction to the Fahrenheit 451 article. Could you explain how the 24th century figure is calculated? I don't see it from the novel itself.

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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

The End of the Road image

Hi. "Preferred", I'm almost postive, means that an image from the 1st edtion is preferred to another edition. Since the image wasn't replaced with one from another edition, there is nothing to be preferred. I removed it basically because the image doesn't actually contribute to the article—it's not strongly associated with the book, and it doesn't contribute to understanding the article. Do you really believe the image makes "a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone"? Rather than a "significant" contribution, it seems to me that it makes no contribution at all. Fine if it were free, but hard to justify when it's a Fair Use image, I think. Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:30, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just follow Wikipedia:WikiProject_Novels/Style_guidelines#Images which appears fairly clear, or at least always has done till now... GrahamHardy (talk) 21:56, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It does appear fairly clear: "do you know why you are choosing that image and can you justify it?" Why was this image chosen? Does it improve the article? Does it improve the reader's understanding of the article's contents? Does it help the reader identify the book? If it were out of copyright, there'd be no issue, since it wouldn't actually harm the article, but it's pretty hard to rationalize how it improves the article. Curly Turkey (gobble) 00:41, 20 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, as appeasement to the disinfobox crowd, I prefer to keep infobox parameters to a minimum. For example, are there any editions besides the first that are 230 pages? I have two copies (ISBN 9780553125160 and ISBN 978-0-385-24089-5), neither of which are 230 pages. This parameter is no more than misleading clutter. Ditto the publisher: it's been put out by Doubleday, Penguin, Anchor, Avon, and Bantam that I know of—quite likely several others, as well.

It is a pretty foul image I'll admit - moved into Publication history GrahamHardy (talk) 21:37, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The issue, as I've already talked to you about, is not the placement of the image. If a cover image is going to be used, the infobox is probably the best place. The issue is using a Fair Use image when the image itself is never talked about at any point in the body of the text. If it were a Free image, it would do no harm—it would be decorative, anyways, if gratuitous.

Of course, there are the issues of the other parameters you added, as well. As other editors have pointed out, the interpretation that Infobox book must be about the first edition is highly suspicious, and is counter to the WikiProject Infobox guidelines that an infobox is to be "a quick and convenient summary of the key facts about a subject". As the discussion is still active, I think it would be best to cut back on these sorts of edits until consensus has been reached. Curly Turkey (gobble) 21:44, 8 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cover artists, first editions

Let me begin with a belated "heads up" where I should have notified you five weeks ago. Recently at Template talk:Infobox book#Illustrator and cover artist, reviving a theme you raised last year, I suggested that when we do have a cover image we should use the image caption to identify the cover artist, as for The Borrowers (current version) and The Borrowers Afield (previous version, but the image no longer fits). When the cover artist is the illustrator, this replaced my previous suggestion that we use surname alone in the cover_artist field (the suggestion now holds only when we show no cover image). Either way, this affirms we know the cover artist of the image we show. One editor approved; no other replied.

I hope you will begin to use "F/first edition" rather than "1st edition" in the caption field of infobox book. A numeral should not begin a caption, as it should not begin a sentence. The infobox documentation elsewhere shows "(first edition)" for illustration and it uses '1st' only in documentary talk and code, not for illustration. I don't now find this point in the manual of style but I'll suggest somewhere that we not use ordinals such as '1st' at any position in prose (something now under discussion regarding dates).

When you do replace {infobox book} image and caption, that is commonly (on my watchlist) because you have first edition content to replace something else. Please read the old caption and cover_artist field. A caption that begins "Frazee cover ..." suggests a cover_artist field that names Frazee, as at The Borrowers Afield. On my suggestion at Template talk:Infobox book#Illustrator and cover artist, the latter will be true, and you will create a mismatch, whenever you introduce first edition content.

Replaceable fair use File:APersonalRecord.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:APersonalRecord.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.

Article Sing All Our Cares Away

Hello. I see that you've blanked the article with the intention of deleting the article since it appears to be a copy of another article. First, it should be noted that you were correct in pointing out that the article should be deleted as a duplicate article. However, please be aware that blanking is not tantamount to deleting. For recently created duplicate article, the correct avenue would be to tag it with the WP:CSD deletion criterion WP:A10. For non-recent articles, other avenues are WP:PROD and WP:AFD. In this case, A10 should work, so I've tagged the article for deletion under that criterion. If you have questions or comments, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks.

D&D novel covers

Hi, GrahamHardy, thanks for adding cover images for D&D-related novels! I would note that on Preludes (Dragonlance series), those same images you added were previously removed, and they may be removed again at some point for the same reason. However, if you would like to help out by adding cover images for D&D-related novels I could make some recommendations for cases where they are less likely to be argued about? I would request Artifact of Evil, for one. BOZ (talk) 14:20, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for Cadfael Chronicles first edition book covers

Graham Hardy, Thanks so much for getting the first edition book cover for every one of the twenty novels in the Cadfael Chronicles.

This is something I have not learned how to do, in particular the copyright stuff, and you did it all. The articles are so much better with those covers. It is interesting to see how they change in style over time, too. The Monk's Hood cover in particular, hard to see what the intent was -- showing the making of the external-use-only salve, or the small bottle that was tossed out the window? The others are clearer to me, at least. First edition cover for Virgin in the Ice, most impressive, artwork exactly to the point. Thanks! --Prairieplant (talk) 05:53, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:TheSignOfTheFour.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:TheSignOfTheFour.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 17:52, 8 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Photo of Verdi monument

Hi, Graham:

I took a very splendid photo last summer (2013) of the Verdi monument in Verdi Square, at W 73rd St and Broadway in Manhattan, and would like to release it under the GNU license system for use at this article and for the article on Verdi Square, the editors of which have been crying out for a good photo. It's been a long time since I sourced photos for other articles (never my own photo), and I know from experience that it can be tricky. Many photos I sourced completely within the guidelines of WP were summarily challenged and then deleted.

This time I would like to go about it in the right manner. If you have experience and knowledge of this sort, and can help make sure I am credited as the photographer, I would gladly work with you to get the photo into the article. I will also reach out to other editors of this article with the hopes that someone can step up to the plate and get the photo up properly.

Thanks,

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:People from Clay, Alabama

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Category:People from Clay, Alabama, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion.

Proposal

Hello, I have noticed that you are an expert uploaded so I have a favor to ask of you. I am currently working on a page for a musician named Barbara Robison which is on my user page. She performed in a band named The Peanut Butter Conspiracy. Anyways, I was wondering if you could upload the finished draft. You will only need to properly place references that I will gather for you. I am not too interested in credit, just getting her name out. I would message you again when the whole project is completed. Thanks for the consideration! Peace to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGracefulSlick (talk • contribs) 01:30, 21 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About your (non)participation in the January 2012 SOPA vote

Hi GrahamHardy. I am Piotr Konieczny (User:Piotrus), you may know me as an active content creator (see my userpage), but I am also a professional researcher of Wikipedia. Recently I published a paper (downloadable here) on reasons editors participated in Wikipedia's biggest vote to date (January 2012 WP:SOPA). I am now developing a supplementary paper, which analyzes why many editors did not take part in that vote. Which is where you come in :) You are a highly active Wikipedian (64th to be exact), and you were active back during the January 2012 discussion/voting for the SOPA, yet you did not chose to participate in said vote. I'd appreciate it if you could tell me why was that so? For your convenience, I prepared a short survey at meta, which should not take more than a minute of your time. I would dearly appreciate you taking this minute; not only as a Wikipedia researcher but as a fellow content creator and concerned member of the community (I believe your answers may help us eventually improve our policies and thus, the project's governance). PS. If you chose to reply here (on your userpage), please WP:ECHO me. Thank you! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 23:23, 11 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Default sort

I saw you changed the DEFAULTSORT in Haliru Mohammed Bello from "Haliru Mohammed Bello" to "Bello, Haliru Mohammed". I think this is incorrect. The Hausa/Fulani do not have surnames in the European sense. Local newspapers may call the subject "Mr. Mohammed", as in [2], or may call him "Bello", as in [3]. The BBC calls him "Bello Mohammed Haliru", so do some local sources, e.g. [4]. Another local source uses Haliru Bello Mohammed [5]. Whatever you choose as the sort key is wrong. It is probably best to just use the article title, which is also wrong. Aymatth2 (talk) 11:45, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

undone Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 13:00, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

'Leave it to Psmith' cover

Hi Graham,
I'm curious about the cover illustrated here. The caption says that it's from the US first edition (which the text says was published "14 March 1924 by George H. Doran, New York") but this [6] has "A.L. Burt Company" with no mention of Doran, and on the Doran wikipedia page there's no mention of A.L. Burt, so I'm confused. Is there some information missing somewhere? Thanks --Ty rS 03:34, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't look right, I have changed it ! Hope this one is correct GrahamHardy (talk) 09:10, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cut-and-paste move undone

I've just undone your attempt to move Janine Gordon via cut and paste. That's not acceptable, because it breaks the chain of attribution in the edit history. I'm looking to see if the situation is clear-cut enough to move the page without discussion; otherwise, you'll need to open WP:RM discussion about the title. —C.Fred (talk) 12:44, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Modern Baptists, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://dbpedia.org/page/James_Wilcox.

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. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted.

WP:namesort

You changed the sort key of some articles about individuals with arabic names, under the authority of WP:namesort.

default sort for.mascaras

So i see you repeatedly change the default sort on 4-5 articles like "Mascara Dorada" as if the last name was "Dorada". It is not, his name means "Golden Mask" and should not sort by Dorada. Just like."Green Arrow" should not sort by "Arrow" or "Lone Ranger" not sorting by "Ranger". Even if sme article uses just "Dorada" that does not make it his last name. Please stop changing these, they are correct already. MPJ-US 00:32, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm puzzled by this. It certainly does not seem to meet wp:Minor, and the edit comment seems incorrect.

removing a working ISBN

Dear GrahamHardy,
I am not sure what drives you to remove an ISBN from a book article like Heaven Knows, Mr. Allison (novel). I also mentioned with my revert that "you can in fact find this title by this isbn on a couple of online databases and on books.google.com, so pls leave it there". You changed it again anyway. Are you up for an unreasonable edit war? Edit wars do not look sane to me. --johayek (talk) 18:33, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was just following the guidelines given in Template:Infobox book, if you do not agree with these guidelines then I suggest you continue the discussion there ! GrahamHardy (talk) 18:38, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot confirm you are saying the truth. You removed an ISBN that some online databases know and some online databases don't. The article you are quoting does not say that GrahamHardy must remove an ISBN that amazon does not know, does it? I consider your repeated removal of the ISBN as vandalism. --johayek (talk) 13:16, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have you looked at Template:Infobox book ? Another option is to include a publication history section to the article where all relevant ISBNs can be included GrahamHardy (talk) 15:10, 5 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:RipFosterRidesTheGrayPlanet.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:RipFosterRidesTheGrayPlanet.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:05, 4 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Image for The Little Grey Men

I took a closer look at my copy of "The Little Grey Men" and it is a 1965 UK reprint of the third edition (labelled "Seventh Printing" on the front flap.) Perhaps by the third UK edition, listed as 1952, they had started using the cover from the American edition, if that's what this is? Either way, it is possible that this is actually a better example of Watkins-Pitchford's art than the original cover, and we might want to continue using it for his article, while using the original cover for the book article. But it doesn't make much difference either way. Brianyoumans (talk) 15:50, 2 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Defaultsort

Hello there GH, from Portugal,

even though I did have an account, now I do not, "courtesy" of a troll that almost hounded me into retirement, I asked then that my account be vanished because I had the intention of leaving forever... Anyway, 10 years in October since I started, and counting!

Now, for the title of this message: Brazilian/Portuguese/Spanish footballers ofter have that specifics about them where they are known by a nickname or their first name. In the case of the latter, the first name is at times TWO names (i.e. Juan Pedro, Juan Pablo, like the late Pope John Paul II, he was not known as John or Paul, but as both). So, I think the defaultsort field should reflect this and, in for example Joan Tomàs Campasol, it should be under the letter "J" not "T", as player is not known as Tomàs.

Attentively, happy editing --84.90.219.128 (talk) 19:07, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think the reason I changed the Defaultsort is that throughout the article he is referred to as Tomas, not John Tomas...GrahamHardy (talk) 19:21, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip, will get to it immediately! --84.90.219.128 (talk) 19:31, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

default sort too

Greetings. I noticed a couple of your default sort edits actually being wrong and wanted to.be sure you are aware of why i reverted them. Both deal Mexican pro wrestlers who use ring names that are not proper names. Pimpinela Escarlata is Spanish for "Scarlet Pimpernel" thus should not sort Escarlata.as if it was his last name. Pirata Morgan Jr's first name is not "Pirata" and should notbsort by M but by P. I know we cannot be aware of every detail, but I.just wanted to.clarify why i reverted those.

Explaining the genre novel you asked about at WP:VPT

Hi. In case you wanted more info:

{{Infobox book}} has the code | data15 = {{#invoke:Wikidata|getValue|P136|{{{genres|{{{genre|FETCH_WIKIDATA}}}}}}}} which gives data15 the value of {{{genres}}}, {{{genre}}} or the result of invoking Module:Wikidata's getValue function with the request to {{{FETCH_WIKIDATA}}}.

That's where the novel value will have come from; since no genre was explicitly defined, the code falls back to requesting wikidata about the genre if there is any.

Hope that helps. fredgandt 03:56, 12 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:The Two Towers (novel) -1st edition cover.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:The Two Towers (novel) -1st edition cover.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:17, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting mistake categories

FYI, rather than blanking categories to delete them as you did with Category:People from Sandringham, it's better to tag them with {{db-self}} which sends them directly for deletion rather than needing someone else to tag them for deletion.Le Deluge (talk) 23:02, 3 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Humphrey Repton

Hi Graham. I've noticed you have added Repton to people from North Norfolk category. I know he worked and died in Norfolk but he didn't originate from the area. Sorry can't see the connection. Northmetpit (talk) 10:09, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that 'people from' does not just mean born in or originate from, it also covers where you lived for an appreciable time, which Repton appears to have done...GrahamHardy (talk) 10:37, 9 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Graham, Thank you for your addition of Aaron Scharf to the category "People born in North North Hampshire". I had no idea he was born or lived there. Do you have any more information on Scharf?

Replaceable fair use File:JustSoStories.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:JustSoStories.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:04, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

hi GrahamHardy, i have just come across the wikiarticle The Sheltering Sky, you added an illustration of a cover (way back in October 2008!) with the caption "First edition cover", just wondering, is this the true 1st edition cover or is it from a later printing? isn't this the 1st ed. cover?

"Nader El-Bizri" article for your attention!

Dear Graham Hardy, based on your technical knowledge and your role as master editor, I wanted to bring an urgent matter to your attention: It seems that I caused some confusions around the Wikipedia entry "Nader El-Bizri" when I first un-did an edit with tags and then contacted the Wikipedia NoticeBoard & Miscellaneous Queries about it without knowing that a casual editor like me should not do so! Tags were placed on the entry and even some suggested that it should be deleted altogether, or that it was copied from the website of a school in Lebanon even though this Wikipedia entry dates back to 2008, and it is clear that it was Mirrored by the school and not the other way round. Some editors might have acted in haste but with the good intention of protecting the entry from vandalism. This Wikipedia article received over 359 edits since 2008, including some by you, and it has numerous links across Wikipedia and to many reputable external websites as well. I am just bringing this to your attention since maybe my unintentional confusions with my casual edits caused all of these editorial issues, and I do not want that my casual edits result in harm to the reputation of the actual living person who is covered by the article, and who based on the various Google searches has a broad public persona of notability. I have been dismissed by the editors who hold usernames since I am not registered via Wikipedia and I only casually edit here and there when I can. I hope you do not mind me bringing this matter to your attention... I have understood now that as a casual editor I am not allowed to make edits or contribute as such to talk pages unless I am fully registered with Wikipedia (or at least this is what has been conveyed to me through the talk pages by some users). Thank you for your consideration of this matter since I feel partly responsible for some of this editorial confusion and I feel I should not longer make edits...

Issues with articles on novels

Hi, GrahamHardy, you have been responsible for an admirably wide coverage of modern novels over the years. However, although you frequently revisit your articles to make small adjustments, you don't seem to be revising them in the light of Wikipedia guidelines, several of which you routinely transgress. Could I ask you to look at some of the issues I raise below?

Your plot summaries seem lifted from the back of the works in question and are inadequate as per WP:PLOTSUM. In particular you avoid spoilers.
At times you use bullet points unnecessarily, whereas editors are encouraged to prefer prose exposition as per WP:USEPROSE
The Reception sections are inadequate, and sometimes are lifted from the works themselves, where the publishers naturally only highlight favourable reviews. This is not in accord with WP:NPOV. The relevant Style Manual entry gives advice on how such entries should be written at MOS:NOVELS.

Senior editors have lately been reviewing WP policy in an effort to bring it up to encyclopaedic standards. I could follow in your track, freely using the Delete function, as I did recently at Shuttlecock (where I have yet to rewrite the plot summary), but you would probably make a better and more sensitive job of it! Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 16:36, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Slightly confused, what is wrong with "and is said to be the best of his earlier novels" taken from page 431 of Good Fiction Guide ed. Jane Rogers, 2nd edition published 2005 by OUP>? And where does "following a period of ups and downs" come from ? Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 19:29, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"The best of his early novels" doesn't make much sense without a definition of which those are. If it's the first three, then declaring "Shuttlecock" better than "Waterland" is controversial and requires further documentation. But if Jane Rogers is just saying the second novel is better than the first, it's hardly earth-shattering and anyway means nothing without an explanation. A source consisting simply of an expression of opinion isn't enough to command respect. There are far too many statements in Wikipedia of the kind that "this work was considered the greatest thing since sliced bread according to a readers' survey published in"...Readers Digest or whatever. That's no more than a piece of empty-headed journalism. An editor ought to exercize judgment before retailing such questionable trash. As for "after a period of ups and downs", that's a summary of what is said in the linked article. Mzilikazi1939 (talk) 21:28, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So a quote taken from the Good Fiction Guide ed. Jane Rogers, 2nd edition published 2005 by OUP is questionable trash is it ? Think we'll continue this discussion in the Wikiproject novels, you may well be right but I'm losing the will. Thanks GrahamHardy (talk) 22:34, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Eagles Nest is nearby. This is one of the poorest places in the United States. I wrote most of Jonestown, Coahoma County, Mississippi. Read the description in the economy section. Cheers!

Did you know you could add more than one category at once? Instead of clicking "OK" after each addition, click the plus sign until you're done... then to the left of the Category footer, click "Save". You might know this but maybe not. It might save some time. Same goes for removing. --Jennica✿ / ^talk 09:04, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

i apologize for my action in this article (even more so because i did not write a summary). I honestly thought (maybe it was back then, but not anymore) that the defaultsorts did not display well with apostrophes/commas/hyphens/caps, I remember reading something along those lines in the past.

Removing DEFAULTSORT

Please don't remove the {{DEFAULTSORT:}} when one or more of the rules at WP:SORTKEY apply. For instance, at St Lawrence (Isle of Wight) railway station you removed the {{DEFAULTSORT:Saint Lawrence Railway Station}} - instead, it should have been amended to {{DEFAULTSORT:Saint Lawrence Isle of Wight railway station}} because "St" is an abbreviation, and so is covered by WP:SORTKEY item 4 "Spell out abbreviations ... used in place of words"; and the parentheses are similarly covered by item 5 "All other punctuation marks should be removed." --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:17, 27 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wayside School, book 2 cover image

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sachar_-_Wayside_School_is_Falling_Down_Coverart.jpg

You say "replace HarperCollins edition (1990)"

Harper Trophy?

by 1st edition, published by Lothrop, Lee & Shepard

do you know that its the first edition? (From a quick glance at the history, I think you think so [9].) It now says "4 edition".

If it is the 1st ed., presumably the cover illustrator is Schick, the interior artist named on the cover. If you have the book, can you check that. Since we name 4 interior artists, I suggest we then state as caption "Schick cover of 1st ed." or equivalent. --P64 (talk) 00:48, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Place of death: Costock, England was my reasoning...GrahamHardy (talk) 20:25, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for getting back to me. I had noticed that but I'm not sure this signifies a particular tie to the area. Having written most of the article text, I didn't come across one (although I didn't spend significant time researching him so that's not to say there isn't). The article, as it is, doesn't mention anything about him living there even and, according to the relevant guideline, place of death is not normally categorised.
