Thanks for the film template!

Thanks for adding the film template to Alone in the Dark, i've been meaning to add it for ages but never got around to it. Thanks Empty2005 10:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Paramount category

Howdy, I noticed that you pulled a bunch of star trek articles out of the Paramount category. Any particular reason? Regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 00:16, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Curious about that myself. Have reverted Star Trek II to the Paramount category. If there's a good reason for removing the category, please let us know. I for one will be all ears. -Kasreyn 01:28, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

No one welcomed you! Actually you should take that as a compliment - it means your edits have not stuck out as newbie efforts. Well done. Welcome anyway. -- RHaworth 20:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Please do not upload copyright images. Please ensure that every image you do upload has a proper licence tag. -- RHaworth 20:00, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Copyright Problems

Hi Pally. Unfortunatly all of the images you have uploaded to wikipedia have been tagged as either missing source information or copyright licensing. They will all be deleted in one weeks time unless you provide acceptable information for them.

Essentially images taken by you have to be released under a free license. The most widely used on wikipedia is the gfdl. So on an image description page that you have taken and uploaded please write somthing like:

Photo of whatever it happens to be. Taken by User:Pally01 whenever you took it. Released under the GFDL.

Also include the tag {{GFDL-self}} to correctly label and categorise the image.

Movie posters of covers are probably allright to use under an acceptable fair use rational. You should ask a more experienced user what exactly needs to be included on these to be acceptable. Pretty much any other images taken directly from someone elses website without permission to release under a free license are copyright violations and will be deleted.

Please do not remove the tags off the images yourself, if you have added correct information to them let me know on my talk page and I will check them and remove the tags. --Martyman-(talk) 22:01, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for taking the time to sort out these issues. I think it very important that wikipedia try very hard to stay within the law if it hopes to be taken seriously. Incidently I am not sure if you have found the easy way to list all of your image uploads. You can go to "my contributions" at the top of the page and then select only the "image" namespace see here.

Info on fair use of images is available at Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#Fair_use. I looked into it and for movie posters they should be tagged with {{Movie poster}} and movie covers should be {{DVDcover}} or {{Video tape cover}}. Images of actors should either be tagged {{film-screenshot}} or {{tv-screenshot}} if taken from a screenshot and {{Promophoto}} if a publicity photo. These things can get a bit confusing. I will go through and tag the obvious movie posters as such for you. --Martyman-(talk) 10:37, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and also you might think about releasing Image:WilliamWroe.jpg and Image:11643079.jpg as GFDL. --Martyman-(talk) 10:47, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Beyleveld.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Beyleveld.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --OrphanBot 09:59, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Bruno_Ngotty.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bruno_Ngotty.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

Scary Movie 4 Poster

The poster is not a fan poster. They have not finished editing it yet. This is the official poster. Go to the main website: [www.scarymovie.com] and it has the same pictures. This poster is also all over the website: [1], [2], [3], [4], and [5]. This really is the official but it's not finished yet. So just leave the poster the way it is.

Yeah, it was supposed to be released in 2007 and not 2006.

Scary Movie 5

Don't worry. I copied all of my work and if they delete it, I'll just copy and paste it back, saving my time. And this CyberGhostface guy, I know him. He keeps deleting true things in Saw 3 that I have proof on. I also called him an idiot. And the post above this is mines. I must have forgot to put my name.

Football AID 11 June - 17 June

Thank you for participating in the Football AID vote this week.

Watford F.C. has been selected as this week's collaboration. Please do help in working to improve it.

Big Sam, Colin Todd & Phil Brown

Hi, I noticed that you amended Phil Brown back to Colin Todd as Big Sam's predecessor. I take your point about caretakers, in fact I raised the very same point on the Talk page of WikiProject Football.

I don't think there was really a consensus reached, but personally I was brought around to the line of thinking that all caretakers should be included, so that Wikipedia is as complete as possible, and that there are no gaps. I have therefore taken this approach with the pages I've edited.

If you are strongly opposed to this, I think we should re-open the debate above and try harder to reach a consensus, as I think it is important that there is a consistent approach.

What do you reckon?

I got the number from the Iranian newspapers. Since they usually have some kind of "inside" info, I wanted to put that here as well. you can check http://www.jahanefootball.ir/ It says: "Bolton's Number 16: Ando from Iran" anyways...Im not sure if this is the proper way to respond to you, since i just became a member, either way, I thank you for your attention. Edit: Teymourian to wear number what? 16 ;)

Jill Dando

Please read discussion pages and view article history before making edits. It would have been better to wait for the Panorama programme to be broadcast before including it in the article. Abc30 20:49, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

It is a good idea on wikipedia to avoid making edits that relate to items on the discussion page, unless you at least put a comment on the discussion page to explain your action. I'm sorry if you feel I was 'talking down' to you, you are mistaken. Abc30 21:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, please consider my latest comments on the Jill Dando discussion page. Abc30 21:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair enough. Well there needs to be a discussion on an appropriate intro. Best to do that on the talk page though. Abc30 21:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Please dont revert to the old cast photo then decide to upload a watermarked version of the 2006 photo. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 09:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:Doctors Cast.jpg is a gneric name, eventually it would of been deleted as well as it would of been orphaned, if ever the 2005 photo is needed again then it could be reuploaded under a new name. The 2007 photo should replace Image:Doctors Cast.jpg as well when available, and if the 2006 photo where ever needed then it can be uploaded under a new name as well. thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 09:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

The problem at present is the article could do with some work, such as one paragraph profiles on the cast, and possibly spliting off past cast into a seperate article with short bios (Like is done in Hollyoaks) - I've no problem having a 2005 cast photo as well it is just at present the article just isnt "beathy" for more then 1 photo outside the infobox, I plan on doing some work on the article so if you wish we could collaborate . thanks/Fenton, Matthew Lexic Dark 52278 Alpha 771 12:13, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Estate AfDs

May I suggest you batch these up next time you see a set of similar stuff that really needs to go? A bulk AfD takes a little more setting up but tends to get a better consensus. Fiddle Faddle 16:38, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

• (copied from my talk page) Thanks for that. I thought about doing it but could not find a guide. Could you give me some advice? (Pally01 16:46, 22 September 2006 UTC)
  • Have a look at this element of the AfD page. It is hiding, albeit in plain sight :) Fiddle Faddle 16:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Multiple Deletions on One Nomination

I hadn't realised that this was a contentious issue. I received advice from another user on the matter and as they were all created by the same user I thought that it was a good idea.

I don't know if it is contentious for others, but I find it a frustrating practice. In order to give a meaningful response the reviewer needs to read every page and provide an appropriate response. Most people don't bother, so I get concerned that one of the pages may be good but is getting tossed out because it is grouped with a bunch of less worthy pages. Thanks. — RJH (talk) 17:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The answer is that it is not a contentious issue. RJH expresses a valid concern about those who give an opinion not actually bothering to read the underlying articles. This concern should (presumably) be shared by the closing admin, who may well choose to give less weight to an opinion that is not expressed clearly with respect to each article. I think the nomination process should be modified in order to (say) number each article and we as nominators should remind people to read each article in our nominations. However, the existing process does work, and usually works well. It must only be used where there is total similarity of topics, such as a load of inconsequential housing estates by the same author all equally devoid of content.

Username change

Hi. You asked about changing username on my talk page at User talk:Casper Gutman. To change your username you need to read the info at Wikipedia:Changing username, and file a request there for an admin to make the change for you. This only works if you've made fewer than 200,000 edits (though that sounds quite a lot to me so it's unlikely to be a problem!).

The one thing I found was that signed posts on talk pages were still signed under my old username. Since changing all the signatures would be a bit labour-intensive, you can redirect the old user page to the new one (#REDIRECT [[New Username]]). Possibly this handles itself somehow, I don't recall.

Darren Jordon

There is no confirmation of him being on gardening leave or anything else on the BBC report and he is not leaving to a rival corporation, he is going to a foreign agency. Best to say that he is still working for the BBC until confirmation that he isn't. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball after all. (Quentin X 13:13, 5 October 2006 (UTC))

Disagree - you won't see him again. And wake-up to this global world - al-Jazeera is number three to rival global network BBC News 24, which has more correspondents/wider coverage/fewer viewers than CNN. Rgds, --Trident13 13:19, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Show me a citation that states that he is working for Al-Jazeera straight away/on gardening leave/sailing a boat around the Cape of Good Hope and I will. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, this has only been announced today and YOU are speculating. (Quentin X 13:22, 5 October 2006 (UTC))

Look, I am happy to leave as is, and you can stop your unfortuante bickering. The announcement on the BBC is the announcement as to why you won't see him again - that's the way that world works, which you clearly do not understand/have experience of. David Frost is the only person who could get away with announcing that he was going to al-Jazeera before leaving the BBC. And please don't use CAPS lock to impress your point - if you hadn't yet figured it out, its highly insulting and therefore potentially against Wiki rules of respect. Rgds, --Trident13 13:28, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I was only suggesting that it be left until something more definitive is announced, as is the norm with this encyclopedia. I apologise for capitalising the word you, but maybe you can look inside yourself and see that saying things like wake-up, unfortunate bickering, do not understand/have experience of et al is not the way to go. I am not attempting to compare brain size or life experience ;-) (Quentin X 13:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC))

License tagging for Image:Mad max two the road warrior.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mad max two the road warrior.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 10:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Dictionary corner

It's not that I object to this kind of information in the encyclopedia, it is that (in my opinion) this information is more comprehensive in the form of a list. After all, unlike a category, a list can add extra information e.g. when they were guests and who preceded whom. I think the best way to go is to create Dictionary Corner guests on Countdown and add information there. Yours, >Radiant< 12:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• If there are that many people, a category will be even more cumbersome than a set of articles, since it will just be a set of several hundred names with no organization. I think one article per season is feasible, it works fine for e.g. the Muppet Show. >Radiant< 12:37, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Category:CfD for Category:Dictionary Corner

[6]: Applying such priciple widely would lead to massive proliferation of similar categories, based on argument "if this exists why not to have also that".

In my opinion the current category system is broken and should be replaced by:

• main categories (actor, chemical element, ...) that are clear and defining
• visually distinct secondary categories, that will allow to keep information like "has six fingers" or "was awarded by that prize". These would replace also lists.

Until something like that gets implemented those "secondary" categories should be, IMO, deleted, listified or the information moved into the text. Pavel Vozenilek 13:18, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi. What I think Pavel is getting at (and I hope I'm not putting words in his mouth) is that categories for people are generally reserved for defining charataristics, like careers, nationalities, or religions. (See Wikipedia:Categorization of people for more information.) Guest starring on a tv show doesn't come close to those. While the information isn't suited to a category, it could be better served by turning it into a list, which would also permit you the opportunity to annotate and reference the information. - EurekaLott 01:56, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Trust The Man.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Trust The Man.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 Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.

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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images 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. Yamla 16:13, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:ITV Celebrity.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:ITV Celebrity.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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).

Image:Shelley Preston.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Shelley Preston.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia 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. 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 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. --Chowbok ☠ 16:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

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).

Debbie Reynolds

Fair use rationale for use in the article Debbie Reynolds

1. Image is used solely for the identification of the subject.

2. The image is readily available on the source website, [7] or [8] and the further use of this image on Wikipedia is not believed to disadvantage the copyright holder.

3. The subject of the photograph is living and is currently still performing. The image of this person conveys

• the person's current appearance,
• the difference between her present appearance and that of the other image in the article which is from the 1952 film, Singin' in the Rain,
• her durability in terms of career and
• her versatility in terms of the varied media in which she has appeared throughout her career.

4. No free image has yet been located for this person which would convey all of the above information and characteristics.

5. It should be borne in mind by editors that the image is first and foremost a poster (and is captioned as such) for a concert which took place in 2005. By definition, a poster is intended to be seen by as wide an audience as possible and is a promotional tool. A promotional tool is, by definition, designed to promote an event or a person and is generally used by the promoters to cover as wide an audience as possible, in the same way as a film poster. Film posters are are considered fair use in that the copyright holder, if one exists, has implicitly allowed the image to be widely broadcast and propagated.

NYPD Blue Character template

Hiya, I just added that template to the article I created, Greg Medavoy. Seeing as you began the template, I'd just like to ask if I can add him onto the "characters" section of that template. I did a showpreview of it, it appears it would all fit on the one line. Because he appeared from the third episode onwards and was a (pretty) main character, and now has a wikipedia article, I just think he should be on there. (Not that this has anything to do with it, but his distinc bumbling characterization made him my favourite). Cheers SMC 10:08, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the freedom :) I agree with you, Blue was a show that pretty much transformed cop shows - and TV as a whole. I was a pretty big fan of the series - not from the early days, but I remember the days of Rodriguez' crew well. Right now I plan on writing up a few articles on the characters; specifically Baldwin, McDowell and Rodriguez so far. If there's anything else that I can help with, please shoot :). Have a good one, SMC 23:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Dulé Hill.jpg

Please note: One, image:Dule_Hill.jpg is not intended to depict the title of the article but rather the information presented in the article (as it is located in the body) which is a character played by the person in question. For reference, please see image:007Connery.jpg in article Sean Connery or to use your own example, image:006 Alec Trevelyan.jpg in article Sean Bean. Furthermore, rationale for fair use has been provided for Dule_Hill.jpg so please do not revert again. Thank you. Anubis3 20:48, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

image:Dule_Hill.jpg Query

Thank you for your message. It appears that we have some disagreement on the issue of fair use images. I would like to reaffirm my position that fair use rationale for Dule_Hill.jpg has been provided. For the sake of your query, I expanded upon the existing rationale to make it absolutely clear that this is a copyrighted image but is intended for wide distribution to promote the program as well as the person in the article. Again, the image is not portraying the article title but, rather, a role of the person in the title (as it is located in the body of the article). Such has been the practice on countless images that have been, for long, accepted in the Wikipedia community. Unfortunately, it is impossible to rewrite Wikipedia rules because a single person’s interpretation of “fair use.” In addition, the reasoning about screenshots is incorrect. Are you truly implying that screenshots are not copyrighted? There seems to be an inconsistency in this reasoning. Please do not revert again as this will be considered a sign of bad faith. If you still do not agree and the matter of this article concerns you very much, then I would suggest we submit the matter to arbitration. Also… Anubis3 01:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Instead of simply reverting articles or removing information from them, I would like to remind you that Wikipedians are encouraged to improve upon them. Anubis3 01:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Our Dispute

It appears that, on your part, this issue concerning Dule_Hill.jpg has become a personal one but I would thoroughly and sincerely ask you to refrain from personal attacks. I am merely trying to secure the content of an article which I believe constitutes a fair use.

That having been said, I am not exactly sure how U.K. photocopying laws fits into the picture. Neither cyberspace nor wikipedia is governed by U.K. law but I’m sure that you already know that. Based on the reasoning you provided, every copyrighted photo in the Wikipedia commons should be deleted. Additionally, it is also unfortunate that you see a single revert on my behalf (before discussing with you) as a sign of bad faith. Reverts constitute neither vandalism nor personal attack. However, when a fellow member specifically asks another member not to revert but rather submit the matter to arbitration and the latter ignores this, that can be seen as a sign of bad faith.

To continually extend my good faith, I will, for the time being, hold off on reverting or editing the article Dule Hill. But, at the same time, I would ask you to please try, at least, to replace the image (with what you think constitutes fair use) rather than simply remove it. Thank you. Anubis3 16:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Mediation as Alternative

As we discussed, I am submitting this issue to mediation as all other methods have been proven futile. Please sign Agree on the requests page here Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Dulé Hill. Thanks. Anubis3 20:12, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

NYPD Blue ubx

English variations in NYPD Blue

I see you reverted an anon editor for changing the spelling from UK style to US style. Since NYPD Blue is a US produced program and takes place in the US, I think it is reasonable for the spelling to be US norms. Per WP:MOS#National_varieties_of_English:

Articles that focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally conform to the usage and spelling of that country.

Christopher Meloni picture

How do you know that image infringes on fair use? The image is perfect, it shows Meloni in his current and recurring role in SVU. Why was this image taken down? It seems to me that even the people who took the photograph would not mind its use, since it is being used to promote Meloni and SVU... -Mike Payne 17:30, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:DavidClennon1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia 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. ... Alternatively, you can also

1) choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject,

2) requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or

3) by taking a picture of it yourself.

I don't have the time lately for (1). (2) also takes a lot of time, as you can see from the email chain for other images of people I have uploaded (e.g., here, here, here, and here). I live in Texas, so (3) is out of the question. You cite that an image of Clennon can be found elsewhere, but I did not find one in my initial search before I found the one I uploaded. If you can find a better image, by all means do so. — Loadmaster 21:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Image of Christopher Meloni

Hi. I noticed that you deleted an image of the above at 18:30 on April 11. I was wondering if you could give me a detailed why and wherefore to the decision as I was using it to show new users what images of actors they could upload and it now turns out that I was showing them incorrectly. Also, would there be a way to find out who initially uploaded it. (Quentin X 17:42, 20 April 2007 (UTC))

Howdy! I deleted the image because it was licensed under a Creative Commons license that specifies "for non-commercial use only" or "no derivative works", and there wasn't any fair-use assertion anywhere. This falls into the WP:CSD Images, subsection 3, which asserts how this situation is untenable and that these images are to be speedily deleted. Best regards, CHAIRBOY (☎) 18:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use

Why are you going around removing images that fall under fair use without adequate reason? I see above you cite when a "freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created" above, but this isn't the case for, say, Clare Grogan. You just try a Google Image search, there hasn't been a good photo taken of her since Red Dwarf. --84.68.126.146 19:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
