Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 21:44, 29 January 2008

Please do not add your own personal opinions about porn stars to articles. This is an encyclopedia, not a place to rave about how hot someone is. Thanks. --Golbez 14:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Also, please do not post copyrighted material to wikipedia - your edit to Perri Peltz came from another website. --Golbez 14:11, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Laurie Dhue 1.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Laurie Dhue 1.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 07:36, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Quails Gate 01.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Quails Gate 01.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Susan Bratton

Fair enough RE: Susan Bratton. Looks like she is notable enough. However, the tone of the article must be edited to fit the style of an encyclopedia. It still reads like a resume/advertisement ("Susan's humble roots", "movers and shakers" etc.) While you have provided many sources, a lot of the content just isn't appropriate or notable for an encyclopedia, such as "Susan is best known for her 'Power Rolodex'", or "She has thousands of connections in her LinkedIn and Facebook profiles". Also, the number of external links must really be pared down to the three or four most important ones, not a huge list of profiles, "speaker biographies", the flickr photostream of her company, etc. Would you like to start on a re-edit, or should I go ahead and do it?--Daveblack (talk) 15:16, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Quails Gate 02.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Quails Gate 02.png. 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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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) 09:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Danny Meyer.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Danny Meyer.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:06, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Misplaced Pages, as you did to Bobby Flay. Misplaced Pages is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Misplaced Pages uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Collectonian (talk) 16:12, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Image:Susan Bratton 02.jpg

Hi there! I noticed you uploaded Image:Susan Bratton 02.jpg with a {{PD-self}} tag, yet you put that you license it under Fair use. Both licenses are contradictory, so I need to ask you if you are really the one who took the photography, and if you are licensing it to the public domain or under fair use. The disclaimer is not clear enough, and therefore may be deleted (ambiguous terms are not welcomed regarding licensing). Thanks for understanding. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 03:27, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for the reply. If it has been uploaded to Flickr, please add a link to the Flickr page (not the link to the image itself, but the page containing the image, the one that says the license and all that stuff). If it was licensed under a CC license, there are specific tags that should be used like {{cc-by-2.0}}, {{cc-by-sa-2.0}}, etc. But we do need the link to be able to confirm the image source. If it is indeed free, I will put a tag to move it to Wikimedia Commons, our global repository of free media. However, if it is not, it will need to be deleted. Thanks for understanding! -- ReyBrujo (talk) 21:44, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
