Mitsui Aika

Hi, I noticed you wrote on the Aika article her nickname was "Mitsi". I know that's the name someone wrote on the Momusu article, but I have seen last Sunday's episode of Haro Moni and I am sure it's Micchi or ミッチ. I know that's the way Gottsuan calls Sayumin, but that's how they spell her name. Just wanted to discuss this issue to see what you're take on it was. Ishikawa Minoru 17:44, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey, about me adding "Mitsi" as Mitsui Aika's nickname. I only put that there because I saw that someone put that on the Morning Musume article. If you think it is incorrect or know of another one of her nicknames, feel free to add to it or change it. I haven't watched Hello! Morning in a while so I wouldn't know. --Chuck チャック 22:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for replying. I'll leave it for a couple of days to see if they issue an official statement on that one and if not I'll change it to Micchi. Ishikawa Minoru 23:24, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:V-u-den 06.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:V-u-den 06.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages 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.

Misplaced Pages Commons Voting ID

I assert that I voted in the Misplaced Pages Commons Picture of the Year 2006 under the IP address 69.116.163.28 --Chuckleberry 04:29, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey, thanks for resizing the image on the Riyu Kosaka article. I'm not very experienced with using images on Misplaced Pages, and I hated that it looked all pixelly but couldn't figure out how to make it look right. Angalang 04:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Welcome to Misplaced Pages and no problem with that image sizing thing. Just put

| Img_size =

under the image caption for the size of the actual image width if the image is less than 220px wide. --Chuckleberry 05:18, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the revert

http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Goochya&diff=next&oldid=106945310

Sorry about that revert... it was completely unintended, I was trying out this anti-vandal tool User:Lupin/Anti-vandal tool. By the way, don't you think your article is more fit for wikitionary? After all wikipedia is not a dictionary. Just an idea, I actually don't know anything about the subject. Danski14 23:06, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Teaneck Highwaymen

The previous edit was correct; this is a common misconception about the team name. I remember from the student handbook, that it was attributed to a Principal High, who said to do things "The High Way" or somesuch. Perhaps you can look this up tomorrow? I no longer live in NJ. Josephgrossberg 20:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I currently go to Teaneck High School and my teachers and classmates have always told me that the teams are named the way they are because of what is stated in the article. It's possible that it isn't the original reason why they're named that, but if you are sure that they were named the Highwaymen because of another reason, please add it to the article. ☆CharlesNguyễn 00:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Roman ~My Dear Boy~

Please don't change the capitalization to the "official" one. Misplaced Pages has its own set of guidelines to deal with titles, including Naming convention (Do not replicate stylized typography in logos and album art, though a redirect may be appropriate (for example, KoЯn redirects to Korn (band)).) and trademarks (Follow standard English text formatting and capitalization rules even if the trademark owner encourages special treatment). Thanks for understanding. -- ReyBrujo 16:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I was confused because there are many related pages that go against this rule. I should go fix those up. ☆CharlesNguyễn 17:22, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Glad you understood that fast. People are usually harder to convince, even with the correct arguments. Secret, by Ayumi Hamasaki, is usually changed every other day (you can check its history). Try to leave a message in the users who change the capitalization, if they keep changing even after being told about the guidelines a couple of times, they can be blocked for disruption. Thanks again for understanding. -- ReyBrujo 17:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Kumai_Yurina.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Kumai_Yurina.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages 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:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. 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. Abu badali 23:01, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Charles. I'm affraid that image has previouly been deleted for being replaceable. Images of living people are usually considered replaceable, unless the person in question is hidding, missing, under arrest, etc. This comes not only from our policy, but also from a Foundation's resolution: foundation:Resolution:Licensing policy (see item #3). I hope you understand we can't use this image. Best regards, --Abu badali 23:06, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sweet, I'm so in. :) I had no idea something like this existed; I was just editing because I like the proper information up. Awesome, thanks!

℃-ute

Thank you for having corrected my poor English.

About the alphabetical order, the producer Tsunku intentionally named some groups in such a way. See following examples.

Aa!, Berryz Kobo, °C-ute, Def Diva, Gam, (Hello! Project)
v-u-den, W, XYZ

Note that 美勇伝 (normally "Biyūden") is romanized in "v-u-den" so that it should form a reverse alphabetical order following "W". But this rule has not been applied all the time.

(I'm Japanese and am not good at English. So please forgive me if this text seems strange or perhaps rude.)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kaleidostar.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Kaleidostar.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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 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.BetacommandBot 04:17, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Satoru_Iwata.jpg

I have tagged Image:Satoru_Iwata.jpg as {{replaceable fair use}}. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. Abu badali 03:49, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

This is your moderator speaking: Defend WP:H!P against Wiki's copyright nazis.

Folks,

Sorry for the mass posting, but with the copyright nazis breathing down our necks we have to defend the work we've been putting in. Please fully attribute and rationalize all images we post to H!P articles so that we can keep the copyright nazis (who don't seem to contribute to any Wiki articles at all) away for good, and do not hesitate to defend against these pricks.

Also, please keep me informed via my talk page or via e-mail (minimoniotaku@gmail.com) if these copyright nazis start hassling you to look for "free" images (that don't exist) of our heroines. They claim that no image is better than a non-free image, I say that's a lame cop-out.

And finally, if anyone knows a good copyright or US Constitutional Law legal expert that can give us some pro bono advice on these matters, have them get in touch with me. --User talk:Cjmarsicano 03:50, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Image problems.

Charles,

No drawings! I want the ladies to be properly represented, which means having photographs - not drawings - of the ladies in every article. We will have to both make stronger attributions and rationales for using the pictures and in the process, get some sort of movement where the policy is either relaxed, eliminated entirely, or rewritten.

I also want everyone in WP:H!P to fight this bullshit "policy" in any way, shape or form possible. I am under the impression that no matter what we do, some asshole is going to give us another lame excuse to keep fair use pictures off of the profiles.--CJ Marsicano 00:04, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
