Replaceable fair use File:Usher - Bobby Brown tribute - 1998 - Live Usher album (1999).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Usher - Bobby Brown tribute - 1998 - Live Usher album (1999).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:

1. 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.
2. 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).

Your recent edits

The reason I moved that information from Legacy to Career, is because is vague: "Usher has ... number ones on this component chart". Reaching is legacy, that section is not all about overkilling with chart information. For a good example, check Lady Gaga#Legacy. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 03:08, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

Khaire Nuh For the same section, to explain my last edits. This is from the website you used as source:

"This sound has been gestating for at least a decade -- look no further than Ghost Town DJs' 1996 "My Boo," Aaliyah's 1998 "Are You That Somebody?" or Destiny's Child's 1999 "Jumpin Jumpin," for proof. But it began coagulating in 2004, when Lil' Jon coined the term, describing the beats he made for Usher's "Yeah," and Ciara's 2004 debut, Goodies, as "Crunk & B, R&B songs that get you crunk, make you wanna wild out." (Lil' Jon is currently working on his new album and, citing prior studio engagement, declined to be interviewed for this piece."

What you wrote: ""Yeah!" was the first track to introduce the substyle of crunk..." Either way, this is Lil' Jon's legacy, as he's the one credited for the beat (the source is clearly focusing in his work). By the way, I don't get all the trivia of "number x on some list of best duets", seem fillers. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 07:30, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

In responce to Cornerstonepicker: I understand your changes. I directly obtained it from Ciara's Legacy section [1] which stated that "Both "Yeah!" and "Goodies" were the first tracks to introduce the substyle of crunk music and contemporary R&B, called crunk&B, to the public" using that source and didn't look into it. If the information is inaccurate you may want to check that page as well.

As for the "number x on some list of best duets", I am not responsible for this information, and agree that a ranking of a duet isn't specifically complimentary to Usher as an individual. Khaire Nuh (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Khaire Nuh, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to August Alsina has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 20:53, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

Usher associated acts

The reason I added these artist because they have collaborated with Usher on multiple occasions. (seen definition of associated act) Jay-Z has collaborated on three songs (Hot Toddy, Best Things, Anything. Alicia Keys has collaborated twice (My Boo, If I Ain't Got U Remix) Ludacris has collaborated four times (Yeah, Rest of My Life, Lovers & Friends, She Don't Know) Jermaine Dupri is notable to Usher's career regarding production like Pharrell and Sean Combs

December 2016

Please, stop your unhelpful edits on Usher (singer)'s section "Legacy". It is not hard to see there isn't a correct order and distribution. WP:ATTRIBUTION is also important. "Grammy Awards" is present Four Times in the lead section. Cornerstonepicker (talk) 17:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Genre of Rihanna

Unfortunately, that does not count as a consensus, just with one person having a vendetta with another Wikipedian, however since the article was created numerous comments have always come up with putting R&B first, if you feel the need please discuss at the articles talk page with your proposed genre. Calihill (talk) 22:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC) (MariaJaydHicky sock)

Carrie Underwood infobox

Please start a discussion at Talk:Carrie Underwood about the infobox changes you keep making. Per WP:BRD, once reverted, you should discuss the issue, if there is a consensus found that wants this change, then it can be change. To keep reverting to your preferred version could get you blocked for Wikipedia:Edit warring. Aspects (talk) 20:40, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from History of science into Islam. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:41, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Brevity is one thing, but accuracy is more important!

Please stop these inappropriate edits, which do not reflect the contents of the sections. Saving 3 or 4 letters, so what? Johnbod (talk) 01:34, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

You also managed to add 2 grammatical errors in the last one! Johnbod (talk) 01:37, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Which edits "do not reflect" their section exactly? What's "inappropriate"? I have no interest in sacrificing accuracy for brevity, nor should you revert all edits in a panic like manner (if it's 3 or 4 letters). Brevity, and hence concision are better than overly elaborate descriptions for headers; that's the whole point. E.g:

In literature, art, and music

Literature

Film

Music

Video games

It's only more "accurate" when you've reinstated half of the sub-headers themselves. This is redundancy, when one word can clearly encapsulate them. I would've corrected errors, if only i could reflect back, before your reversion.

I'm going to reassess those worthy of brevity. AlHazen (talk) 02:12, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Most of the stuff you called popular culture is not - it is high culture. Which edits "do not reflect" their section exactly? - all the ones I reverted. Just stop doing this please if you can't tell the difference. Johnbod (talk) 02:25, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, but you're not going to get away with a false case. It is definitely popular culture over high culture, because it a) does not only concern visual arts (Music) and b) appeals to the wider masses (Video games)

In the arts

Painting and sculpture

Abraham in Christian iconography

Literature

Music

Furthermore, WP:Head clearly states "Headings should not refer redundantly to the subject of the article (Early life, not Smith's early life or His early life)". This is also the case here. I've only preceded to edit Solomon and Abraham, so stop the false reversion and denial of the obvious. AlHazen (talk) 14:29, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

You are misunderstanding what WP:Head means - it says you should not use eg "Cultural references to Abraham", repeating the title. That has no relevance here. Many of these sections include both uses in high culture AND popular culture, which is exactly why it is inaccurate to use either "In popular culture" or "In high culture" as headings. Johnbod (talk) 18:53, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Agree with Johnbod, edits like [2] are a very bad idea. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:12, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

I did not misunderstand WP:Head - i referred to it, as an extra point i was making regarding the second sub header above in bold. It unnecessarily included "Abraham", while the article was on Abraham, making it redundant as it explains. I agree on the popular vs high culture; fallaciously assumed popular encompassed high. AlHazen (talk) 03:07, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Discussion

I invite you for Discussion regarding your recent edit on Islam. Regards Alina Haidar (talk) 13:13, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

September 2018

Your recent editing history at Islam shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
The other editor has also been warned. General Ization ^Talk 19:03, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Hinduism #2

Your reorganisation of the lead grouped the notes and references on the origins of Hinduism together diff, unfortunately. The origins of Hinduism were extremely debated a couple of years ago, including persistent sock-puppetry; that's why all the references and notes are there; the notion that Hinduisn developed as a synthesis of Brahmanism with non-Brahmanical traditions is hard to grasp for many, going against their core conviction that Hinduism has been around for, well, beginningless times.

King of R&B

Please stop. I can see what you're doing. Edit warring is block worthy, and the only edits that allow that are WP: Vandalism. You can be an Usher fan without trying your best to remove well sourced content to Chris Brown. The assertion refers to contemporaries — both artists and critics. More than 10 reliable sources provided, if you insist I will add more to prove my point: we both know that sources with critics defining Chris Brown as the king of RnB are not that hard to find. Please just stop this messy agenda because someone else's removed the same content to Usher (musician) DollysOnMyMind (talk) 09:30, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

That same Usher article has content like “James Brown, performed a duet with Usher in 2005 at the 47th Grammy Awards in which he honorably dubbed him the Godson of Soul. Brown reiterated "The new godson; Usher, the new godson" following the performance.” Would you remove that as well? DollysOnMyMind (talk) 09:40, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
