Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Deewaar.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Deewaar.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 20:43, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi
[edit]Hi Grenavitar, just spoted your message. No, in not around anymore. I did learn lots while editing here, but after a while it felt that the productivity of the time i spent here eroded, while the reistance i met from Sunni and maintream editors was constant, thus, it eventualy became not worth the effort. For now, i have been working on a wiki of my own, and have spent one year laing it's groundwork and infrastructure. I hope to launch it soon. I trust you are all well to? --Striver - talk 22:11, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Dil_Se_DVD_cover.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Dil_Se_DVD_cover.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. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
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. Project FMF (talk) 20:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
Brew-ha-ha on Muhammad
[edit]There's been a lot of discussion of image issues on enwiki-l (the mailing list for english Wikipedia) and I mentioned it to Itaqallah as someone who's been a reasonable voice is a sea of (something else) as the discussion there has the advantage of being composed of people who's first goal is the encyclopaedia, but the disadvantage of few of them being familiar with the situation. Itaqallah recommended I drop you a note to the same effect, so here it is. Doesn't require your attention if you're uninterested, but might be a source of productive editors in the area.

[edit]I beg to differ. The author has a PhD in English, has published academic books and scholarly articles on fiction and television, with specialties in gay culture. See his bio. The publishing agent of that article might not be the most professional, but the author at least has a history of publishing on television (with at least two books on other television series.

- Well, it's partially my fault because unlike on the main page, I forgot to link to his credentials as well. So, all you saw was his name and nothing else. As for using it as a source. When researching sources, I couldn't find really any thematical elements on just the first season, or on any single season of the show. When people talk they usually do it in reference to the series as a whole. That's why I felt listing it as an external link wsa the most appropriate since I couldn't write an entire section based on a single person's perspective (not even if they were the foremost authority on the subject), but it was still interesting reading on the first and second seasons, so I felt that was the best place for it.

First Convention of the Industrial Workers of the World
[edit]You had typed:
...you cited the Brissenden book The I.W.W. which... I know there was a printing of the second edition in 1920 which I have seen but your date was 1919 so... could you add publisher information (city, publisher, edition info, etc.) on either the page or my userpage
This article was split off from Industrial Workers of the World when that article became too mired in detail. I think that all of the Brissenden material was added before the separation. I don't recall having that source, so i'm afraid that i won't be able to assist. This maybe the edit you want:

Image source problem with Image:MxPx - Life in General.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading Image:MxPx - Life in General.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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 17:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello Gren
[edit]Hello Gren!
How are you? Long time... (if you remember me)
I think you are a great editor. Yeh Manisha is indeed the best actress of the 90s. I was amazed everytime with her powerful performances. She is so underrated today. Khamoshi, for example, is a great example of superb acting. She had to win a national film award for this film, but lost, due to a delay in submission of entries by the producers. Also I liked her in Dil Se, Bombay, Agnisakshi, and even B-grade movies like Escape from Taliban and Market among others (in fact, all her films!! :-} ). She has recently starred in Tulsi, which released last month. I'll see it ASAP. I have expanded her article, but it's difficult to make a GA, because her career was mainly notable in the 90s, and there is a very little number of net sources covering her career then. What do you think about the article?
Though I was not a fan of Karisma in the 90s, cause I don't really appreciate these David Dhavan commedies (though great entertainment, except for Swarg, there is nothing special about his films in terms of acting). Fiza was a complete turning point in Karisma's career. You must watch this film! I was shocked with her super natural portrayal. The scene which had her crying for her mother after the latter had committed suicide is in my opinion one of the most powerful scenes in the history of Hindi cinema.
As for Preity, I'm a big fan. She is my favourite actress of today's generation. I think she is amazing. She has excited me with every performance. Well, I've seen all her films. Have you? I'm happy she took on off beat cinema this year. She made a film with non other than Deepa Mehta, Rituparno Ghosh and also Assamese director Jahnu Barua. I took the article to GA, and I'm planning to take it to a second FAC soon.
Thanks for the message friend. My best regards, Shahid • Talk2me 22:36, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Systematic bias in Wikipedia - A solution
[edit]Hi Gren,
Could you please take a look at my latest proposal here. I would appreciate your input on that. Thanks --Be happy!! (talk) 09:09, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comment Gren.
- "Articles like "What Do We Know About Muhammad?" show a baseline of things that we can say we know... it doesn't mean other things aren't true but it differentiates between types of truth values and what is strongest. I think that's important. But, without all of us becoming good academics I'm not sure how to resolve that."
- The basic assumption here is that what we could possibly know of Muhammad could be expressed in an objective, third person perspective. That's pretty much the spirit of most scientific works; they remove the role of the audience in the topic. The way Muslims, Buddhists and in fact "non-philosophers" have looked at human understanding is that real knowledge and real truth is not something that can be fully written on paper. Reaching a state of purity or enlightenment is required for that. One needs to personally involve himself with the topic he is studying. That's why I think there are so many theories. What people need to do is to try to somehow bring their theories into real life and put them into practice. If I want to learn about a religous topic, I need to learn something about it, then do something from what I have learned, then learn something more, ... and back and forth. In Wikipedia therefore when we write about Christianity, I think, we should tell something about God's love in a section, then finish it with some concrete things one can do to understand it better, like say "forgiving others". This way, one can learn how Christians deduce the life style from the concept of "God's love". For Islam, the central issue is "Tawhid"(unity of God) and not love; a bit more difficult to deduce the whole Islam from it...
- My whole point is that Wikipedia articles should start interacting with their audience in a practical way.--Be happy!! (talk) 01:15, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Re Four Pulleys
[edit]I just wanted to let you know that I changed your four bullet points to numbered points so I could refer to them. I hope you don't mind. gren グレン 16:57, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine. I used bullets for a reason though (found through prior experience with these multiple comments), namely that if someone puts a reply 'mid-numbering' it mucks up the numbers, and they reset to 1 after the reply (also why I used :* rather than ** for the bullets). --jjron (talk) 07:56, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Leftist-Islamist Alliance or Marx-Muhammad pact, Wikiquote
[edit]"This isn't the place to discuss it, but could Wikiquote use articles on Leftist-Islamist Alliance or Marx-Muhammad pact"
I don't know and I wouldn't create the pages if I were me (and I am) but if the term is specifically used by the authors then it could work and not run into the same problems as we do here with secondary sources--because, you don't need them. I am not exactly sure how Wikiquote judges if pages should be kept or not but it seems reasonable--especially if the pages are deleted here. gren グレン 05:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Someone described these terms as nonce phrases, which I think would fall outside the scope of Wikiquote. However, if either of these topics were taken seriously somewhere, they might be valid entries, and the names of writers using this language could have some informative value. That said, I'm not interested in creating these articles myself. / edg ☺ ☭ 06:23, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Then I realized I could use some rollback action and I saw your name on the edit history of some article. How is summer treating you? My this is an odd way to communicate. - Schrandit (talk) 02:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Delaware Bicycle Route 1
[edit]I have lived in Delaware in the past and have been there many times since I have moved and know that the bike route is signed in many places, such as in the Dover area, Rehoboth Beach, and near Brandywine Creek State Park. Dough4872 (talk) 17:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of my image
[edit]Hello. I don't know why you deleted my image Map of Austria's seats showing the map of Austria's seats? What's the reason for? Thank you. Häsk (talk) 22:56, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
- My image was on this article: Distribution of seats in the Austrian Landtage the whole time until you've made your edit and after your edit the image was removed:
- "23:43, 12 January 2008 Grenavitar (Talk | contribs) (5,373 bytes) (change to an image map)".
- Häsk (talk) 13:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Now I understand you. But on my screen there is no map or an image. There's just a white, vacant space without any content. And so there is also no "big white 'i' in a blue circle". Maybe my PC isn't able to display it properly.Häsk (talk) 14:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Grenavitar - over your point of using {{cite web}}, I have not heard/seen this as a requirement for DYK. Every day there are numerous DYKs that go up without this template, but are properly citing the hook and all. Naturally I can and will address your concern, but I don't as such understand why its a problem per se. Vishnava talk 16:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for helping out on this. While obviously it is not a requirement for DYK (which means I'm not gonna scramble to change all my noms) I will take care to use citation templates in my future articles, as I have done with Pakistan-Turkey relations today. I appreciate your advice, Regards, Vishnava talk 04:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I have added {Non-free use rationale} for each fair use image. Was this what you meant by a more standardized rationale? Savidan 15:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I have nominated Kristofferson, an article you created, for deletion.

Stations du tramway de Bordeaux / Bordeaux tramway stations
[edit]Salut,
Ton français me semble très bon, surtout que ce n'est pas une langue facile à apprendre!
Je suis vraiment heureux que les pages concernant les stations du tramway de Bordeaux te plaisent. N'hésite pas à me demander si tu as besoin d'aide pour la traduction, je t'aiderai avec plaisir.
J'espère que tu apprécies ton séjour à Bordeaux, c'est une superbe ville. J'y ai vécu pendant 5 ans mais maintenant je suis à Pittsburgh, en Pennsylvanie et c'est ... différent.
Bon courage,
Ludo33 (d) 8 juillet 2008 à 16:10 (CEST)
Hello,
French is a very complicated language to learn but you speak it very well!
I'm really happy that you like the articles concerning Bordeaux tramway stations. Just let me know if you need help or anything else for the translation, I will be very happy to help you.
I hope that you enjoy your stay in Bordeaux, it's a very beautiful city and there are so many things to see. I lived there for 5 years and it was really great, but now I'm living in Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania and it's.... very different.
Good luck, Ludo33 (d) 8 juillet 2008 à 16:10 (CEST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.212.18.46 (talk) 14:12, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Surah infoboxes
[edit]Hey there! This is NiceHumor. About those infoboxes, the source is Shaykh Muhammad Al-Munajjid.[4] Maybe I should cite this web page in the infobox? Nicehumor (talk) 05:41, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
Since I started that AFD, and my edits to the article were taken exception to, I do hope your comments aren't directed at me. You're a seasoned editor whose observations are generally spot on, and if I'm spot off, I'd like to know. MARussellPESE (talk) 21:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Gren. I have been accused of being a sockpuppet for this entry. Whilst this has my first edit on a page, that I have come out in support of a position that there appears to be a good deal of controversy over appears to have landed me with this accusation. As a minor editor, I don't really know how to address this, and the person responsible for citing me (user MARusselPESE) seems quite intent on erasing all argument and entries on this discussion. I have looked at the comments left on the AFD page, the histories of the other editors cited for sockpuppetry, and looked through the affiliation of certain editors/voters for deletion or inclusion. There is another article on Wikipedia entitled the Greatest Name (another title for the Most Great Name), that is a Bahai symbol. The editor who originally cited this article for deletion is affiliated with this organisation, and there appears to be historical disagreement regarding the origins of the symbol. As you quite rightly said, the case for inclusion should be made on the basis of the strength of the article, but if there there still may be a bias/conflict of interest going on here between the perspective of the editor and the material he is choosing to cite for deletion. As an editor who appears to have a good history with Islamic and Arabic related subjects, please could you keep an eye on these issues, and perhaps be aware that if there is some sort of agenda playing out between religious groups, that it be taken notice of. This is an area that need more research, not deletion. I'm not sure what happens if I'm blocked or if there's recourse to it, but hope these issues can be addressed if I am.58.173.219.59 (talk) 00:21, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:LBM2.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:LBM2.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check
- That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
- That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Ask and you shall receive - The Sheltering Sky (film)

No problem -- I'm a big fan of the book, and expanding the article inspired me to see the movie. I think the "Plot" section needs some tuning and I might write a "Differences between novel/film" section. Take care. W0129 (talk) 04:11, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Lexus And The Olive Tree first edition cover.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading File:The Lexus And The Olive Tree first edition cover.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. 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) 06:37, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hip Hop Theater/Theatre
[edit]I have an issue with an article I created last week and I'm hoping you can help me with it. Since late July I've been in the process of doing a complete overhaul of the hip-hop dance article (this is what it looked like before) and I noticed that the theater section was becoming rather large. So in order to follow WP:SS, I created a new page titled hip-hop theater and copy-and-pasted the section from the dance article to the new theater article. The problem is that there is already a page for this but it's called hip-hop theat"re". After I finished my page (theatER) I did a google search to see if it would come up and the other page (theatRE) was listed in the results. I honestly did not know that it existed. What do I do now? I was going to blank the theatRE page and put a redirect link there since the theatER page is longer and has references. Am I allowed to do this w/o violating policy? Is there a formal process for this? Right after I did that google search, I posted this question on another admin's talk page but they never responded so I decided to ask you because you're also an admin you've created so many articles. I figured you may be more familiar with an issue such as this. Gbern3 (talk) 15:49, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Pratigya 1975 film poster.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Pratigya 1975 film poster.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 05:48, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]
Hello Grenavitar! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 317 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
- David Axelrod (musician) - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
- Daniela Kolářová - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

The article Asha Parekh filmography has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Per WP:N, not notable without substantial coverage in independent reliable sources.
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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Oo7565 (talk) 05:56, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:American Political Science Review cover.gif
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:American Political Science Review cover.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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. 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)

The article Abdul Wadud (author) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- BLP with no claim of notability present in article
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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Kevin (talk) 03:21, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

File:Jainism logo.png needs authorship information.
[edit]
The media file you uploaded as File:Jainism logo.png 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|Grenavitar/Archive 6}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
or the {{own}} template..
If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:34, 18 May 2011 (UTC)
