Orphaned fair use image (Image:BDayTourPoster.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:BDayTourPoster.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 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.

Discussion about Romney political views/positions article title
Hi,
You were involved with discussions about the section Political positions of Mitt Romney, now a separate article entitled Political views of Mitt Romney. In case you're interested, there's a discussion underway about whether it's an improvement to name it Political positions of Mitt Romney, over at Talk:Political views of Mitt Romney#Requested move.
You have a problem?
Is there something wrong with what a write, maybe you should stop being such an a.... and let me write what I want. It's nothing inappropriate and most of what I write our actual facts. When was the last time someone changed that page before me, and now all of a sudden you have this feel do go and change the page. [18:03, 30 March 2007 Dffdfdf]
Spoilers, huh
So i doesn't matter whether it's the first 5 minutes or not, oh ok, well then, get a move on. Jackie Brown (film), Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Cape Fear (1991 film), Casino (film), The Godfather Part II, Dog Day Afternoon, Heat (film) if what you tell me is ture, well here you are. And there are many more like these where there are "spoilers" in the begining. Until all this is changed, what I did for Cop Land was pereftly fine, based on all these movies who have similar articles in the begining. As for the trivia, here you go. The Godfather has similar trivias, so does Heat and many others as well. Lets go, get a move on.
Rudy Giuliani page
I really, really don't like anonymous edits. The Giuliani page keeps getting edited to include redundant information. It is like hit and run editing which reduces the value of the article. While I think full protection of the page is too much, I would be willing to support semi-protection of the page. Jmegill 18:57, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but the song on Mad Dogs and Englishmen is not a cover version of the John Lennon composition. I own a copy of the original vinyl LP, so I should know. The song in question was written by Leon Russell and Bonnie Bramlett (as previously stated). Regards,

Bruce Springsteen
In your edit summary when cutting the list of Music in Film & Television, you wrote: this whole section is unencyclopedic, unwikified, and probably a copyvio
I don't care one way or the other about the edit itself, but I want to point out that it can't be a copyvio; under U.S. law, facts aren't copyrightable, and lists of facts are only copyrightable to the extent that the list embodies some aspect of creativity in the selection or arrangement of material. A comprehensive list in a standard non-creative ordering, such as chronological, is inherently uncopyrightable. This was made the law of the land in the United States in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service, which allowed totally copying of phone directories. As a counter-example, "best of" lists, such as a Rolling Stone greatest albums list, embodies the creative judgment of its authors and is copyrightable.
There's probably still some jurisdiction in the world where it would be a copyvio, but the international standard in the major treaties and intellectual property agreements is to leave such material uncopyrightable. Studerby 14:44, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
Lotta good work on the Springsteen article recently. Thank you. David in DC 03:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Stub album articles
Hey, I see you removed the {{album-stub}} markers I added to some albums by The Animals. Assessing articles is not my strong suit, so I usually avoid it, but I do try to add {{album-stub}} to articles where it appears to have been forgotten. In doing so, I go by WP:ALBUM#Assessment classes which says that if an album article lacks a "minimal list of credits" it is to be considered a stub article. I interpret that to refer to a credits section per WP:ALBUM#Credits. Perhaps there should be an exception for compilation albums, for which such a credits section is less useful than for studio albums. Anyway, that's why I added those stubs. Have a nice day. --PEJL 20:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

NME Tours - NME New Rave Tour
I noticed that when you created the NME Tours page, you added a section about the NME New Rave Tour. After scouring the web for any mention of the tour, all I could find was lots of pages on the NME Indie Rave Tour - which is already mentioned on the page. I'm going to remove it, please cite the section and then re-add it. Thanks --SteelersFan UK06 00:15, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
- Please ignore my last comment, I have noticed that it infact wasn't you that added these details to the page, all you did was move them from the NME article. This edit was made by Stuart1000 (talk | Contribs ), here. Apologies if i sounded harsh. --SteelersFan UK06 01:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:RollingStones1973EuropeanTourPoster.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RollingStones1973EuropeanTourPoster.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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. Videmus Omnia 17:16, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Judy Giuliani
The citation that I removed in regards to her saying that she attended the University of Pennsylvania seems to be false. I can't seem to dig up the original Times clip of her quote, but the Daily News clip cited makes it clear that they couldn't find evidence of her saying it either, citing the times, citing her. Please let me know if there's a clip around to substantiate this. Also, is there relevance for including this in the footnotes? Thanks.

Title of two Amnesty tour articles
I'm writing to you as the creator of the two articles about the Amnesty International tours. Both of them are important articles that you are to be commended on starting and working hard on. I have a thought to offer about the article titles. I hope you will regard it as a constructive comment. I think the official titles - and the most popular references to the two Amnesty tours - did not include the word "tour" as part of their actual titles. ie the 1986 tour was called "A Conspiracy Of Hope" and the 1988 tour was called "Human Rights Now!". The descriptive word "tour" was not a part of he official title of either. Since there is not an abundance of other articles with those titles - should the descriptive "tour" really be a part of the Wikipedia article title? The Live Aid, Live 8 and Live Earth articles do not include the descriptive "concert". The Concert For Bangladesh includes the word "concert" in its article title because the word "concert" was part of the official title. So I'm wondering if the title of each of those articles should be simply "A Conspiracy Of Hope" and "Human Rights Now!". If there were separate articles about TV specials or albums derived from those tours - then those would be suffixed (album) - and the original articles might be suffixed (tour). What do you think? Davidpatrick 14:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. Glad you see my perspective on this. I will try to make the change - but I'm not sure if I know how to do it correctly! If I mess up - I hope you'll be able to help me correct my mistakes! Many thanks. Davidpatrick 15:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Giuliani, Clinton, and Thompson
Hi there. The main Fred Thompson article wikilinks to a separate article about controveries about him. There is currently a deletion request here.
I understand that you may be in favor of eliminating the controversy articles for Clinton and Giuliani. I am leaning the other way, but I respect your opinion and would welcome your participation in the discussion about the Thompson controversy deletion request.
My concern is that if the controversy article is eliminated, then all of these controversies will migrate into the main article in a big way, and bickering among editors at the main article will increase a hundred fold. If the controversies are in a separate article for each candidate, then each controversy can be detailed and rebutted in an NPOV manner without totally swamping what's in the main article for each candidate. I hope you will reconsider your support for deleting the controversy articles for each candidate. Thanks.Ferrylodge 06:01, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
P.S. Here's a similar situation, regarding Pres. G.W. Bush. As happened with the Bush criticism article, I would prefer for the Thompson controversy article to be neither deleted nor merged --- but merger would seem far more appropriate than deletion.Ferrylodge 09:26, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Rolling Stones singles template
What would you think about creating a template for the Rolling Stones' singles, and then placing the Stones' main template on each of the individual song pages? Here's the Beatles' template which is what I'd base the Stones' on.

Unspecified source for Image:Barry_Gray_(radio).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Barry_Gray_(radio).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, then 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, then 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: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 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 11:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 11:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:BobGrantPub.jpg
![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:BobGrantPub.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
{{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 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Judith Giuliani
I have reverted some of your changes to my changes. Her legal name is Judi Ann; even her parents have said that in the latest issue of Vanity Fair, which is cited. "She was born Judi," as her father has told the magazine and which is cited in a footnote. Please do not revert changes whose factual substance supercedes previous cited material. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.126.251.62 (talk • contribs)

The Rascals chronology
According to Wikipedia:Albums, "Only studio albums, usually excluding live albums, compilations, singles and EPs should be included in the chronology." So Time Peace: Greatest Hits belongs in the separate compilations section, not in the normal album chronology. It doesn't matter that it was put out when the band was still together.

Wow, I created the article on Earth vs. The Radiators: the First 25 (film), and I just now created an article on "Midnight Rider" (the absence has been bothering me for a while), and yet you managed to link the two before I could get around to it.

License tagging for Image:SnoopysHomeIce.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:SnoopysHomeIce.JPG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Ha!
I suspected you were a fellow traveler, agewise - must be your music sensibilities... Your interview may not have been read by as many people (I heard from someone I haven't been in touch with in almost 40 years!), but you had the opportunity to expand on your comments and you were well quoted - mine is a typical newspaper article which boiled down an hour or more long interview to a very few short points - and put the emphasis in a way that I might not have. (E.g., I didn't "insist" on anything!) So congrats to you on yours. But I am happy with the piece - I think it overall gave a good view of how Wikipedia works in this area, and it was, after all, front page of the Washington Post which ain't bad. And as I've said elsewhere - this isn't a CIA mission (as far as I know) - so "revealing" my identity was no big deal. Thanks for the note! (No email?) Tvoz |talk 15:01, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

- Yeah - I agree with that strategy. I'm asking because a prime mover behind insisting on the reinstatement, and the accompanying list, may be gone from these parts, and we might be able to have another discussion on this and get back to the consensus that I think we had reached previously regarding integrating controversies into the various articles - which you've done a great job of. To me the short section in the main article is unneeded and somewhat awkward, and the list defeats the purpose of not having segregated controversy sections and articles. But I'm certainly willing to wait to see if this is raised n FA discussions, and I don't think it's crucial. Just an annoying thing that I think we had handled well previously.

I don't love the "victim" here or in the other instance, but I think this might improve at least this mention: change to "...not for any professional or political achievement of her own but for being seen as the victim of her husband's very public infidelity."

I don't love combining the 1st and last graf, but there's no particular reason to lead with the financial, is there?

References
(moved from Wasted's user page) EVERY sentence should have a reference. If not, it's original research. Either you made it up (original research) or you plagiarized it or you are sloppy. MD12752 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Try some good faith, MD12752: another possibility is that there were references that fell off somewhere and this is such a large article that the editors who work on it constantly missed it. And your initial sentiment is not universally shared nor is it necessarily correct: it is not true that every sentence should have a reference, it is true that ideally every data point should. Sometimes one reference suffices for a whole paragraph, in fact. The paragraph in question now has its references reinstated. They fell off. Tvoz |talk 05:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Paul vs. Clinton FAC
Howdy WTR! Actually Ron Paul is my first serious Wikipedia attempt (along with anything I do with HRC). Now that there are two presidential FA candidates, and anticipating that we two will both have long strings of significant comments on "each other"'s articles, might it be better not to clog up the FAC page after our initial salvos by instead creating "Cleanup for FAC" sections on both talk pages? I will certainly be working on your comments. John J. Bulten 20:18, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Cite templates
Hey, I never got back to the cite template questions/issues on the Clinton FAC (got sidelined by dental issues), and I meant to give you some examples. Cite templates are not required on FAs; WP:WIAFA requires consistently formatted citations, but doesn't specify the method. I only raised the issue because someone apparently gave you the idea they were required, which is completely incorrect, although I recognize that going backwards to manual citations isn't likely to happen. When they're used, they often require just as much cleanup as some articles that are manually cited, as editors don't always use them correctly. Lots of editors hate the cite templates because they return inconsistent results, are clunky, and they *seriously* chunk up the article size. Article size isn't normally an issue, but when long articles are additionally burdened by extra KB in citations, they can be very slow loading. According to someone (I can't remember, and I didn't verify this myself) from when I fought the Extra Long Article Committee, half of the world still uses dialup; I know that when I travel, I'm often forced to use dialup, and an article like Clinton just won't load so I can't even work on it. To give you an example, compare Barack Obama to Tourette syndrome. They're almost exactly the same prose size (Obama is 32KB readable prose, TS is 33 KB) and they are both heavily cited articles. But, Obama uses cite templates, so has 34KB in references—more than the prose !! I manually cited TS, and even though it's as heavily cited as Obama, it has only 17KB in references, and I don't have problems loading it on slow connections. Anyway, this is not to say that you can change Clinton back at this stage (although if someone wrote a script to generate manual refs from cite templates, I'd use it all over the place), but just to give you an example of how much overhead the cite templates add. The argument that they are consistent isn't valid; they amount to garbage in-garbage out, and so many editors use them wrongly that they can return results just as bad as manual citations, and the different templates aren't consistent (for example, they handle dates differently, and cite journal returns irritating punctuation and spacing problems that you don't get when manually citing). The last time I looked at Clinton (several days ago), there were quite a few citation errors. I'm going to get over there sometime today to make some sample edits so you can see what I mean, but first I need to find time to enter a serious Oppose on Ron Paul, because I'm surprised that an article that is so clearly unprepared for FAC has gotten any Supports, so I first need to weigh in there. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 15:54, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- I left you some sample issues to work on in edit summaries; I normally would do much more, but honestly, working on this article is a bear. The article is so large and so slow-loading (even on a good connection) that each minor edit took me two to three minutes. Ugh, I really wish ya'll would make good use of summary style and move some content to daughter articles. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 16:56, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
I don't think there's anything you can do about the way the cite template chunks up the size; we're stuck with that until/unless someone writes a script to manually undo them, and I don't think there's a lot of demand for that. But you can so something about the prose size, which (last time I checked) exceeds WP:SIZE guidelines of 30 to 50KB prose, but making good use of summary style and daughter articles. In both articles (Reagan and Clinton), we should be able to use higher quality sources than Newsmax and Newsday. My point on Clinton was that using only one source of that (lower) quality and not the other made it look like cherry picking, since one presented it one way, and the other presented another side of the story. In the case of Reagan, there really should be higher quality sources available as well; it's just a matter of getting to a library to find them, I suspect. HTH, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 01:37, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
- Here's a bit more: [5]. We should strive to use the highest quality sources available on BLPs, and in all of these cases (both Reagans and Clinton), high quality sources should be available. If they're not, the statements sourced to lesser quality sources probably aren't that noteworthy. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Here is a quote from him. "Rest assured that, as one of 50,000 Ron Paul supporters, I will be happy to use only valid, well-precedented stall tactics to slow or prevent FA status." From his actions on the page you can see that is exactly what he is doing. I am pretty sure he is a sock of some kind anyway. Turtlescrubber 16:21, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
The Animals articles
Thanks for the feedback on The Animals articles. I've mostly done baseball related articles but have been a big fan of The Animals since I was a teenager in Detroit back in the 1970s. Some of the best music ever. Thanks also for your help in improving. Cbl62
Re: Introducing information in album infoboxes
While I admit that many album articles include certain info only in the infobox, doing so is generally discouraged. We have guidelines about personnel sections (WP:ALBUM#Personnel) and release history (WP:ALBUM#Release history) to promote inclusion of such info in the article body. In the case of personnel, such info should definitely exist in the personnel section, per WP:ALBUM#Personnel and WP:ALBUMA#Quality scale. Note also that certain info should only exist in abbreviated form in the infobox (see WP:ALBUM#Released and WP:ALBUM#Label), with the full information in the article body. --PEJL 13:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I added the photo. I didn't replace the Drug Abuse conference one with it, but moved that one up and put this one underneath it. Now about the caption; should it mention anything about "the gaze?" As of now, I have nothing about it. Happyme22 02:30, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

A note
Hey, WTR, in the interest of not escalating the issues (which are quite problematic), it may be best not to use the he/she/it construction when referring to a person.[6] Best regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC) P.S. I understand that "it" probably refers to the issues, but s/he may not.[7] SandyGeorgia (Talk) 23:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
