Archived Contents Disputed fair use

Hey, articles on wikipedia that cover albums generally do not use quotes. Fopkins | Talk 07:31, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Not sure how to respond to this. Do you mean quotes around the song titles? In which case it seems quite normal especially when other information is included i.e. - songwriter - length of track.

• Sorry for the confusion. The titles of album articles do not usually include quotations. Fopkins | Talk 23:22, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Do you mean I mistakenly created a article/page for an album with the name of the album in quotes?

Yes, I tagged it for deletion, and it was deleted. I was just letting you know why it was deleted. Fopkins | Talk 15:59, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I am a bit of a newbie here.

Hi Memphisto. I've restored this image and added a {{promotional}} tag. You'll still need to add a fair use rationale, or it can be deleted in 7 days. Also, {{promotional}} probably doesn't apply, since it is repeatable. Let me know if you have questions. --Fang Aili 15:46, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Ex-Tea Sea chronological discography

Please note my entries on discussion pages for the articles I modified. I agree the XTC catalog need be updated. I believe their comps and outtakes are of importance in and of themselves and should be included in the chronology. If they are merely cash-ins (Hmm... the Who, Rolling Stones, Elvis Costello ...) can see an argument against including them. I do not believe this is the case with XTC. Their comps and odds-and-sods are Notable, and should be included in their discography. Let me know what you think.--Fantailfan 23:15, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Joepane

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I've raised the Joepane issue to the folks at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Automobiles many times, but they just don't want to hear it. Why don't you post on the WikiProject's discussion page? Maybe they will listen for a change. I have listed the image you mentioned, along with all of Joepane's other images, for deletion. They should all be deleted shortly. Jagvar 02:30, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

New Musik

I'm attonished that the song Churches was unknown in UK. It had successes in several other countries.What does it change that the song Churches was only a success in some western countries?

Red Box (band)

Hi Memphisto

Thanks for the message. I wanted to help give RB as much of a presence on Misplaced Pages as possible, gathering together all available info. on the band (ain't much) in one place for anyone wondering why the albums are still unavailable, and for those able to facilitate their re-release (should they come looking). Every little helps. I've re-edited the discography sub-headings to keep the bottom end of the page from becoming too cluttered, but your additions (and the album entries) look superb.

Once again, thanks for the message, it's much appreciated.

Oops, sorry about that. Thanks for fixing my errors. (ESkog) 16:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you added the fact that there were 80 episodes - can I ask where you found that out? AlexJ (talk) 00:54, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Motive (album)

An editor has nominated Motive (album), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Motive (album) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 18:08, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sperm Warfare

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sperm Warfare, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

WP:NALBUMS : All articles on albums, singles or songs must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

General notability guideline : "Significant coverage" means that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than trivial but may be less than exclusive.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fair Use Bot Hit

Sorry about that. I obviously didn't catch that. I'll look to see if there is a tool to check for link dependencies and will use it in the future. Again, sorry about that. Dinjiin (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 16:36, 7 February 2009 (UTC).

File source problem with File:The Beatles - Mono Masters.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:The Beatles - Mono Masters.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Istcol (talk) 16:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Greetings

Hello, I noticed you had done some editing on the XTC article. I was the person who secured the first band photo, but I feel it is probably not accurate, a mixture of band members and fans. However, another professional photographer took lots of group and individual photos of the members of the band. Would you be able to identify the particular members? If so, I can upload free images to be used in the band article and also for the band members' pages. Please let me know. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 21:45, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Blancmange (band).jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Blancmange (band).jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Misplaced Pages articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 23:13, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Greetings! Maybe I can help you? Or you, me!

Hi M- I wrote you some time ago, about XTC. I came here to see if you can identify photos from a batch on Flickr, and if you can, --there's maybe 8 photos in the bunch, I can ask the photographer for release under the Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license to Wikimedia Commons, making them useable for any of the articles we have here. After arriving here, I noticed you're having "issues" with the "Powers that Be" here (to speak politely)!! I went through a lot of frustration trying to see deserving biographies of musicians here get photos- took me over a year (or two), but I have the "free image" concept down mostly from Flickr to Commons. I only started keeping track of my uploads, all of which I place some months ago; see the vast list of names in my userpage. Another editor, and friend, Suede67 is good with the non-free uploads. Feel free to check my talk page to find his posts and thus, contact him. Ask him for help with those uploads- he's a good teacher, and quite methodical. I can help you find the free images and show you how to get them to Commons, even if they're copyright protected for now. Speak up, and help is here, if you want it. Cheers!--Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:47, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

File:Whitecoat.JPG

Regarding File:Whitecoat.JPG, I had to decline the speedy deletion of that file because I couldn't verify the copyright violation since there was no source provided. Could you please provide that source and renominate? I've also tagged it for no evidence of permission, so you could also take no further action and that would be acceptable as well, and just wait a few days for it to be deleted that way.

Need your expert-ease

Hi Memphisto- Would you please take a look at this stub someone began, and I feel, ran with it, and when I say that, I mean, like spilled tomato juice, all over the table, and down the chair, and... you get my point? I don't know if I did the "don't eat the newcomer" ot what-have-you. But you'll see the page and my comment on the talk page, please? I despise confrontation but I think whomever is working on this article hasn't a clear idea of where they are planning to go with it: Guitarist. My comments are on the talk page. Can you answer me on my talk page? --Leahtwosaints (talk) 00:52, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Landscape - Mau Mau Reissue Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Landscape - Mau Mau Reissue Cover.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 for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.

• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used once again.

• If you received this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.

• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to somewhere on your talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 18:54, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Turn It On Again

This page had recently been moved to the correct capitalisation, which is "Turn It On Again". "Turn On" is a phrasal verb, so both parts are capitalised. Can you move the page back please, thanks. Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:00, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

I've done it myself, cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 12:31, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Listing files for deletion

When you list files for deletion, you are still required to add template:ffd with a link to the log page on the file, even for orphaned pages. Can you please add that to the ones you listed here? I already deleted File:JohnGeorgeDodson.jpg under CSD F8. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2010 (UTC)

listing files for deletion created by Rodolpho

Hi. It would seem that for some time you have been listing files uploaded by Rodolpho for deletion. Some of these seem to have been on invalid grounds, and others for technical violations whereas the actual images are valid provided the licencing was listed correctly. I must ask exactly what is going on here? Deleting valid files, or working to have them deleted, when some other editor is attempting to create legitimate articles containing legitimate images is not good faith editing and is not appropriate on wikipedia. Sandpiper (talk) 21:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

By the way, perhaps you might consider altering your user page to say something about yourself, rather than redirecting to this page? Sandpiper (talk)

I see you have been back to wiki and done some editing, but it is unfortunate you did not have time to drop me a reply. Sandpiper (talk) 21:33, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Memphisto. I've been discussing with Sandpiper at User talk:Fastily#deletion of FingaskMural Lofty Buchannan. Perhaps you might like to comment on the allegations made against you? -FASTILY 22:25, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Notability Tag on Derek Murawski

Thanks for your concern in reverting my edit, however I have now done it correctly; removed and explained/justified via an edit summary. Please refer to that. Thanks :) Bracelett (talk) 11:11, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

About Derek Murawski

Hi Memphisto,
The long version would go: per WP:SOMEPOLICY and WP:SOMEOTHERPOLICY, please see the difs here, here, here, here and here... and it may be possible that, in some circumstances...
The short version: Yep, I was wrong, I made a mistake.
