Misplaced Pages

RE: Sublime

I agree that some bands are eclectic. But as far as just the writing style, it looks sloppy if it says a whole bunch of genres in the first sentence. A more detailed explanation of Sublime's style follows later in the article. Tim010987 (talk) 02:01, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Joseph L Kennedy.png

Thanks for uploading File:Joseph L Kennedy.png. 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 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:27, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I should add that, even if the image is used in an article, it will be deleted all the same. Our non-free content policy specifically disallows the use of non-free images to show what living people look like. Clearly anyone who cared to could take the subject's picture given that he is actively seeking election. Best regards, Angus McLellan (Talk) 19:29, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

I see, thank you. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 19:30, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

new section

I like the new section you put up on tea party movement and if you need help expanding the section into paragraphs, let me know. You can also email me. If you respond to this post, please do so here, as I am now watching your talk page. Thanks.Malke2010 18:45, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks! It would be great if you could help expand that, I probably won't have much time to work on it. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 18:57, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll look at it tonight.Malke2010 19:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

External links

Yo. Misplaced Pages isn't a free promotional platform, so an external link to the home page of a record company on a band isn't ok. MySpace links are generally WP:LINKSTOAVOID, unless there's some unusual reason. Such a reason would be that the one official site that IS allowed by Wiki is for some reason not working. In fact, that seems to be the case here. (http://www.asobrock.com) If you have insight into that, it would be better to get the non-MySpace link working, since bots routinely delete MySpace links on sight.

Yeah, I have tons of insight into that. (??) I see how it's promotional to link to a record label page, but supplemental links to an official MySpace page seem really really common. A quick look finds MySpace links on Taylor Swift, Audioslave, Nelly... doesn't seem to be a well-accepted policy. MakeBelieveMonster (talk) 04:20, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

Don't go there. The vast majority of the FA and GA articles not only don't have MySpace, many only have the single link to the official site. I explain the reasoning in detail, here. But more than that, these days the MySpace links are so far off the best Wiki standard, they look amateur. (If I had a group, I'd make sure the MySpace stayed off my group's pages.)

Rotaries

Hello, I had missed the merge discussion for Rotary, and I think there's a big issue now. Can you please respond to my comments on talk:Rotary (intersection) ASAP. Thanks! CSZero (talk) 06:32, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow

Thank you for your contributions to the encyclopedia! In case you are not already aware, an article to which you have recently contributed, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow, is on article probation. A detailed description of the terms of article probation may be found at Misplaced Pages:General sanctions/Climate change probation. Also note that the terms of some article probations extend to related articles and their associated talk pages.

The above is a templated message. Please accept it as a routine friendly notice, not as a claim that there is any problem with your edits. Thank you. -- TS 13:11, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Final discussion for Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Hello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:

1. Proposal to Close This RfC
2. Alternate proposal to close this RFC: we don't need a whole new layer of bureaucracy

Your opinion on this is welcome. Okip 03:20, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
