Attention: I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. If you leave a comment for me here, I will most likely respond to it on this same page—my talk page—as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please respond to it there. Remember, we can use our watchlist and topic subscriptions to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Fact Checking: The Beer Song

I noticed that you added the entry on DVDA (band) identifying ‘The Beer Song’ as originating with DVDA. I have been searching for hours trying to verify this. I was wondering what your source was. Thank you.—David Regev 05:58, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

I didn't really add any of those songs to the list. I just merged the List of DVDA songs with DVDA (band).

Image:Robert_Plant_Victoria_Concert.jpg

I have tagged Image:Robert_Plant_Victoria_Concert.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. BigrTex 21:37, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Support

Hope i could get your support here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Template_talk:WW2InfoBox#The_new_image

and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:World_War_II#The_new_image

Because i belive that you will agree with me that having the Normandi battle picture in the size of two, and not having a picture of the Stalingrad battle in a world war two image is absurd. M.V.E.i. 11:13, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Carl.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Carl.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Misplaced Pages constitutes 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 Misplaced Pages 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. cholmes75 21:30, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Navbox cleanup?

I moved this discussion to the talkpage of {{nowrap begin}} since I think it is of public interest. --David Göthberg 20:03, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Soul Caliber

Please see our fiction guidelines: WP:FICT and WP:WAF; those are the two things all fiction articles must follow. Those characters have no chance of following them because they lack any possibility of Secondary information. There is no way to have a discussion over them because even if twenty people want to keep them, they have to go. Please don't even try to argue that they are notable or anything like that. Secondary information defines notability and these characters don't have any possibility of having any at all. Just to remind you again, discussion and consensus are null and void in this case, so please don't even suggest it. TTN 20:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing in either of those guidelines that implies that any discussion and consensus are null and void for deletion and merging of fiction articles. In fact, it says that "Non-notable information should be deleted only when all other options have been exhausted." Which means that first there must be an attempt to make a fiction article more notable by adding real-life information. if that is not the case, then it should be considered for deletion only if a consensus is reached, according to WP:CONS. —TigerK 69 03:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

The guidelines aren't supposed to explain that. Using my rational, you should be able to see why there cannot be any real discussion other than an "Oh, we'll make you feel like your opinion counts, but then revoke it due to the fact that it unfortunately doesn't matter" discussion. This isn't deletion; this is merging and redirecting, which is a middle ground option. Deletion means that the information is no longer available. The articles can always be revived, and the important information still exists. Again, unless someone actually provides a hint of real world information, there is not an option for discussion, as WP:ILIKEIT opinions don't count. TTN 22:19, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Mort and Muriel.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mort and Muriel.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" 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. BetacommandBot 14:13, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

A discussion is held in the Axis powers of World War II article talk page. I oppose USSR being in the Controversial cases of relations with the Axis section, while some others support it being in the section. Feel free to state your personal opinion here. M.V.E.i. 18:53, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Soulcalibur (film)

I'd like to suggest that you merge the content at Soulcalibur (film) to Soulcalibur. Per the notability guidelines for films, films should not have their own stand-alone articles until they enter production. This is because delays can happen in development. See how Spider-Man 4 and Jurassic Park IV are merged to see how the same can be done here. If you have any questions, let me know! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:08, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Good work! Soul series is an even better place to put it -- same thing was done for Metal Gear Solid (film). I added a disambiguation link to Soulcalibur in case someone was trying to find coverage about the film. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:28, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
