Unspecified source for Image:-265-1129763198-falling up newpicsmall.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:-265-1129763198-falling up newpicsmall.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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:Fair use, 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 03:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Underøath.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Underøath.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Chowbok ☠ 02:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Underoath

Yo. I see you removed the fact that Underoath is a Christian band from the article. I would recommend that you take a look at the sources in my revision to see that Underoath mentions the fact that they are a Christian band "religiously." In fact, they do it in practically every interview!

I decided to take it to you first to avoid a revert war.

Also, I think the statements of Underoath themselves should come before the consensus of the users who saw the subject; non-Christians just don't want Underoath to be a Christian band because Christian rock is "lame."

Finally, there is no subtle spirituality in Underoath's lyrics; if you read through them, you can see that the only spiritual lyrics are clear-cut. Hope This Finds You Well, and press on! Xcryoftheafflictedx 05:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. Because Christian rock is a music genre (one that Underoath claims to be), I disagree that it wouldn't be unencyclopedic for the article to start by mentioning the fact that Underoath is a Christian band. Notice how the Demon Hunter article describes the band as Christian metal from the get-go: the band's lyrics are generally bleak and cryptic, but because they describe their music as Christian, we oblige. It is much different than beginning the article by stating that Underoath is an all-Christian band.

The situation with Switchfoot and Anberlin is much different because they do not claim to be Christian bands, whereas Underoath most certainly do. The only reason left not to describe Underoath as Christian, then, is that most of the few who read the article's talk page don't like the idea of their favorite band being a lame Christian band. I'll wait for your reply before proceeding to re-add the fact that Underoath is a Christian band. Peace. Out. Xcryoftheafflictedx 00:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point with simply describing Underoath as Christian rock being slightly misleading; therefore, I re-added it with a sourced mention of their popularity with the secular audience (here's my revision). I'm glad I had this conversation with you, because it has helped me to edit encycopedically (is that a word?). Do note, though, that reverting my edit would be biased, as it is completely factual and the community has not opposed it. I'd recommend that if you dislike my edit, you explain why in the talk page and see if the rest of the community doesn't either. Thanks.

(P.S. A pop punk band describing itself as death metal is completely different than an all-Christian band with spiritual lyrics describing itself as Christian rock.) Xcryoftheafflictedx 07:48, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:H31733nrk9v.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:H31733nrk9v.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.

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

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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. (ESkog)^(Talk) 17:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Switchfootoh!gravity.jpg

I have tagged Image:Switchfootoh!gravity.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 09:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Falling_Up.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Falling_Up.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 06:08, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ok.. (Captiva banner)

I was kind of wondering why this was done. I guess I see that it's a plug for their new album. and yes I'm excited to get my hands on it. P.S. I added you on MySpace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FAST 201 (talk • contribs) 09:51, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Setitoff.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Setitoff.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) 08:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Switchfootoh!gravity.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Switchfootoh!gravity.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 21:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Undeath (talk) 21:19, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
