== Image:French Onion Seller.jpg ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:French Onion Seller.jpg]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|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:

# Go to [[:Image:French Onion Seller.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:French Onion Seller.jpg|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, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|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 <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:Contributions|target={{PAGENAMEE}}&amp;namespace=6}} this link]</span>. 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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

== Arthur C Clarke short stories ==

The stories themselves are legitimate topics for articles, and although the articles are a bit sparse, they don't actually constitute pure advertising and so are not legitimate targets for speedy deletion. Simply remove the spammy link and replace it with a better one. [[User:Night Gyr|Night Gyr]] ([[User talk:Night Gyr|talk]]/[[User:Night Gyr/Over|Oy]]) 21:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

== Pothole fact tag ==

I notice that a while ago you removed the fact tag from from the "world's largest" statement at the end of [[pothole]], yet I didn't see any reference added for such a substantial claim. Am I missing something? [[User:ENeville|ENeville]] 16:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I turned the statement into a link to [[Archbald, Pennsylvania]]. That's a reference in my book. [[User:Djdaedalus|Djdaedalus]] 18:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

I understand. I guess I was thinking that a claim of superlativeness merits a specific citation, which I don't see at [[Archbald, Pennsylvania]] either, unless it's been edited out. Is there an external reference we could cite for the "world's largest pothole" statement? [[User:ENeville|ENeville]] 21:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't help you. This was probably a drive-by on my part, not something I changed because I'm an expert or something. You can always change it to "one of the largest known" or some such. [[User:Djdaedalus|Djdaedalus]] 22:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Not being an expert on potholes myself, I think I'll leave the statement but put the fact tag immediately after "world's largest", since it could be true, AFAIK. I originally put the tag at the end of the sentence for neatness of text, but I guess with many different people editing, it's more important to get the tag adjacent to the point of relevance.

==Fair use rationale for [[:Image:Black Projects White Knights.jpg]]==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Black Projects White Knights.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|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.

Please go to [[:Image:Black Projects White Knights.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]].

You added a rationale, but the use of the image appears to be purely decorative, and thus not eligible for fair use. I have tagged the article with a different tag; you should resolve the situation or the image may be deleted. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 16:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
: That would apply if the image were a secondary one. It is currently the only one, and it is in the infobox which has a field specifically put there for images of book covers. If this image is not valid under fair use, no other image used similarly is valid either. That takes in just about every image used by Novels Wikiproject. [[User:Djdaedalus|Djdaedalus]] 17:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
::I believe that you are correct. I have inquired several places, and the response I see is that nonfree images that are only decorative are not permitted. This is a shift from former practice where most books had a cover image. This is briefly described at the section on '''cover art''' at [[WP:NONFREE#Images]]. I have asked for clarification [[Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#Book_covers|here]]. &mdash;&nbsp;Carl <small>([[User:CBM|CBM]]&nbsp;·&nbsp;[[User talk:CBM|talk]])</small> 17:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you're right, that a sphere is mentioned in the list of destruction in Phlebas (I actually assumed it was a Dyson Sphere when I read that, but after reading Windward it would make sense for it to be an Air Sphere), but there's no indication anywhere that spheres are specifically Culture habitats.

While your points about the Shoe Event Horizon were completely accurate, I didn't feel it warranted a mention on the main page about the Guide only because, by the admission in your own text, it only REALLY appeared in the radio series (and was cut down for the second novel). Thus I've moved the text to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (radio series) page, in the Trivia section, where I think it makes a better fit. The bit about the towels makes sense on the main page, since it's in EVERY version. The shoe event horizon isn't. --JohnDBuell Talk 01:56, 16 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vorkosigan Saga Inconsistencies

[edit]

I have nominated the afore mentioned article for deletion. Yes, this will be the second attempt at deletion. This is nothing personal, a few editors feel that this article falls under NOR policy, and no attempt has been made to merge this with anything related since the last discussion. xompanthy 23:08, 29 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the page is quite interesting and nicely written, I'm have placed it on my webspace, at http://netwood.net/usr/jessw/Vorkosigan_Saga_Inconsistencies.html. I'll take it down if you would prefer to host it elsewhere. Thanks for putting it under the GFDL. JesseW, the juggling janitor 09:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:French_Onion_Seller.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one creating articles on Asimov's stories. There sure are a lot of them. I should note that it isn't necessary to list them in the "science fiction story" category, since that page already includes a link to the "short stories by Isaac Asimov" page.

Hi seeing your interest in books and novels, I was wondering if you might like to get envolved with our growing (revitalised) WikiProject. There is plenty of scope for influencing things and making your contribution count. We are about establishing standards for Novel based articles and writing articles that meet our own and others high standards, and to improve Wikipedia's diet of articles on Fiction books, otherwise called Novels. Please be very welcome. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The work you are doing on the Garner novels easily justifies joining - there are no clear obligations and you can be kept in touch with developments. Many members appear to sign up and leave wiki altogether! Anyway I'll leave it with you. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:52, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway

[edit]

I'm intrigued as to where you got the information regarding train operations on "Laal Ratty" from? As a reasonably frequent visitor to the railway since the early 1980's, I can't ever recollect a time when the railway operated using physical "tablets" to ensure safe operation.

Just interested as to where the information came from--Slipdigby 19:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, just wondered for my own sanity! You should try and get up to Ravenglass sometime, it's changed a fair bit in the past 30 years but is still a great day out!--Slipdigby 14:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Owl Service

[edit]

Hi, I don't really think it's worth creating a page for "I've Seen a Ghost" as most people will probably want to read the complete chapter written by Peter Plummer rather than a synopsis. But do let me know if you have any other suggestions for topics that people may be interested in that I can add to "The Owl Service" entry. (The page number you asked for is 114 by the way) I also have "The Making of the Owl Service" and have just added a couple of quotations from that. Avalon69 15:28, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Ruby lasers

[edit]

I will dig up the reference in MIAHM which talks about the laser guns. I had never thought about it that way. I suspect that your statement may need to be adjust4ed to put the possibility of it being financing, and the ruby theory, on an equal footing, but let's look at the book first.--Wehwalt 20:51, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Minor edits

[edit]

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'.

Waldo (short story)

[edit]

Thank you for your interest in editing Heinlein topics. However, when you gutted the Waldo article to create the Waldo (short story) article, you thereby cut off the old edit history from the article. Gutting an article and putting into another article is generally not the way to do a rename, which is the net effect you wanted to accomplish. I agree with the intention to rename it, but It is far better to do an actual rename (Help:Moving a page). I will now attempt to restore the article and then do the move. It may take a little time, so don't be alarmed. Hu 00:10, 10 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:French Onion Seller.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:French Onion Seller.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. 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. —Angr 18:11, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pothole fact tag

[edit]

I notice that a while ago you removed the fact tag from from the "world's largest" statement at the end of pothole, yet I didn't see any reference added for such a substantial claim. Am I missing something? ENeville 16:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I turned the statement into a link to Archbald, Pennsylvania. That's a reference in my book. Djdaedalus 18:44, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. I guess I was thinking that a claim of superlativeness merits a specific citation, which I don't see at Archbald, Pennsylvania either, unless it's been edited out. Is there an external reference we could cite for the "world's largest pothole" statement? ENeville 21:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I can't help you. This was probably a drive-by on my part, not something I changed because I'm an expert or something. You can always change it to "one of the largest known" or some such. Djdaedalus 22:35, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not being an expert on potholes myself, I think I'll leave the statement but put the fact tag immediately after "world's largest", since it could be true, AFAIK. I originally put the tag at the end of the sentence for neatness of text, but I guess with many different people editing, it's more important to get the tag adjacent to the point of relevance. Cheers. ENeville 04:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That would apply if the image were a secondary one. It is currently the only one, and it is in the infobox which has a field specifically put there for images of book covers. If this image is not valid under fair use, no other image used similarly is valid either. That takes in just about every image used by Novels Wikiproject. Djdaedalus 17:03, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that you are correct. I have inquired several places, and the response I see is that nonfree images that are only decorative are not permitted. This is a shift from former practice where most books had a cover image. This is briefly described at the section on cover art at WP:NONFREE#Images. I have asked for clarification here. — Carl (CBM · talk) 17:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree, these images are being used for identificational purposes and not just for decoration (as if there was anything wrong with that) the key is for the item being discussed to be illustrated, and not used elsewhere where it isn't being discussed. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:39, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The Children of the Company.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. 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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia 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 03:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I have tagged Image:Allouryesterdays_inglis.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 13:08, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
