Metal logos

Why are you erasing the metal band logos? for example in the Moonblood and Kampfar pages? Is it you decision or is it a decision done by a board? In the former case, I dont agree and I request you to revert your changes, in the second case, can you please link me to that page?

Aes Dana (band)

Hello, I know that there was no sourced commentary in the prose for Aes Dana (band) (the logo), but I thought (and I still think) that the comment under the picture was sufficient: Aes Dana logo background is influenced by interwoven Runes style. This is linked to their choice of subjects for their. Putting the comment under the picture is better than just in the main text of the article IMHO. Hope the re-add will be adequately sourced for you. Hervegirod (talk) 22:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Death (band)

With all due respect, what do I call an edit - with no talk page dialogue whatsoever beforehand - that wipes away relevant album cover images for the Wikipedia page on the band directly related to said images? If it is not vandalism, what is it? A crusade claiming "a violation of our non free content criteria"? How about instead making a constructive edit instead of a subjective one? A Sniper 00:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

This appears to be your opinion. The use of the album images is perfectly viable, though perhaps not north of Lancaster ;) A Sniper 00:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Condemned Logo

I don't know how many times I've had to work on this image description. Perhaps you could provide clarification for me as it appears I am incapable of meeting the rather pedantic criteria. Could you please explain to me what you mean by "inline" and particularly "sourced commentary"? What exactly is the problem with this image?

As I have stated in the image descriptions and tags the logo is used for identification purposes. As with many bands out there if you do a search you'll find more than one band have the same name, the logo is the best way to differentiate between these. Do a search for Condemned and you'll see at least 3 other bands by the same name spread around the globe.

If your issue specifically regards the image in the background of the logo, I can replace it with a plain logo which the band makes freely available on their myspace page.

As per the tag I highlight the following paragraph, this is my main point of arguement-

"It is believed that the use of low-resolution images on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, of logos for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law."

Could you define what is meant by "critical commentary"? I am unclear.

I have free images that I have taken of the band myself when I have seen them live. You stated something about this in your commentary. Is the problem the live image in the background? If that is the case I can, as I have stated above, replace the logo with a plain one, I can also provide a free image for the page.

Please do not take my tone in the wrong way here, I'm just getting fed up having to jump through so many hoops for a single image! I had thought it was all sorted the last time this issue arose.

Thank you for your time. Mojowibble (talk) 10:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Britannica

The fact that they don't even have an article on Pokémon (a very notable series - there's so much stuff on Wikipedia which is much more crufty than the main Pokémon article) is an example of exactly why people will turn to Wikipedia instead of Britannica. Wikipedia is dynamic, constantly improving and expanding, and it's engaging in a way that a traditional encyclopedia is not. Not having the 'edit this page' button feels strange, and even impolite to a reader who is used to being able to improve things manually when necessary. Whilst Britannica has a short article on The Simpsons, at Wikipedia, our articles about individual Simpsons episodes (of which there are hundreds, I'm guessing) are probably longer than Britannica's main Simpsons article. It's really not hard to see why people are choosing Wikipedia.--h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 20:23, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi. I've been doing some patrolling of abuse of non-free images like logos and album covers in musical artist articles lately, and noticed your similar activity along the trail. I just wanted to say thanks for keeping up on this issue and fighting the good fight to keep WP as free as possible. Also, as a favor, when you edit the image description pages of band logo images, could you add them to the categories Category:Non-free musical artist logos or Category:Musical artist logos ineligible for copyright as appropriate? I created those subcategories of Category:Musical artist logos recently to help with this kind of maintenance. Thus far I've tagged all the logos I've found thusly (where xxxxx is the name of the artist), with a defaultsort parameter to help with organization:

{{DEFAULTSORT:xxxxx logo}}
[[Category:Non-free musical artist logos]]

• for any logos tagged as fair-use

or

{{DEFAULTSORT:xxxxx logo}}
[[Category:Musical artist logos ineligible for copyright]]

• for any logos tagged as being ineligibly for copyright because they consist only of simple fonts/shapes.
  

Again, thanks for the hard work! --IllaZilla (talk) 20:26, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

While we're on the topic, can you have a look at a few of these logo uses? I've removed them in the past but been reverted, usually by Cyrus XIII, on the grounds that "[the] information in [the] image caption [is] sufficient to assert significance". As none of the captioned info is referenced, and doesn't seem to assert any significance, maybe you can convince him otherwise:

• Cradle of Filth#Early years
• Dark Funeral#1993-1994
• Darkthrone#Early black metal years
• Marduk (band)#Discography
• The Pillows#History

Thanks! --IllaZilla (talk) 23:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, one more comment for today. You may want to have a look at User:Navnløs. He has been a real problem editor with regard to fair use logos & album cover images in band articles (we've clashed in the past), and he's challenged your (and my) removal of album cover images from band articles/discographies/etc. as well as replaceable fair-use promotional photos. He's been reverting both your and my image removals from metal band articles, which are his passion. Just a heads-up. --IllaZilla (talk) 01:03, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Moving along nicely

Heya! I just finished what I wanted to do with User:BOZ/BD&D Monsters‎. You and Baron Taltos have 3.0 pretty well covered, so I'm going to do 3.5 next, and then we'll be good to go! What I'll do with the 3.5 MM is do that last, and I'll just copy what you've done with the 3.0 MM and just reset the page numbers and everything. BOZ (talk) 00:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

No problem man - you can add Libris Mortis before and/or after we go live, no worries. I'm thinking of going with my two favorites from 3.5, Lords of Madness and Hordes of the Abyss, before getting to the MM. Also, I'm aware of the differences between the 3.0 and 3.5 MM and I'll keep an eye out for them. Some also got moved around in the book, like separating the Celestials out into four separate groups, and a small number of creatures were added to the newer book. After I get those books done, I'll edit the index page according to your idea on my talk page. Then (maybe next weekend?) we'll finally be ready to go live.  :) BOZ (talk) 17:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, J! I just finished up my contributions on the MM 3.5 - maybe tomorrow when I have more time, I'll work up some ideas for the index page. After that, if you need help, I'll put some work into wrapping up the 3.0 MM for you. BOZ (talk) 05:33, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, I've edited the "main" page using the example you provided on my talk page. I'll agree, that looks a ton better! I'm going to add a few sentences of introductory text for each edition, which of course can always be edited by anyone, but gives a good starting point to work with.

Abby Wilde

Hello,

I'm not quite certain who I should speak to about this, but I'm the one whose been adding the unreferenced material to Abby Wilde. All the information added has been correct and true, but I don't know how I should reference my sources, being that I actually happen to BE Abby Wilde. That said, I guess I'm just commenting to ask how I should go about authenticating myself as a source about myself, or whether it would be easier to wait until I'm famous enough for someone else to do it for me. Thanks!

--Abby —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.94.157.237 (talk) 05:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Ah, I've come across this with a musician in the past- basically, you should avoid editing a page about yourself (as per this guideline, so as to avoid a conflict of interest) though you are of course welcome to make suggestions on the talk page of the article, or, now that you have made direct contact with me, you can contact me and I will edit on your behalf should the request seem reasonable. And I am afraid (though this may sound completely illogical) that your own word on here does not count as a reliable source; instead, it counts as original research. Everything on Wikipedia must be cited to reliable, third party sources, though, in a few cases, first party sources (your blog, official websites, that sort of thing) may be cited. However, everything said in an article must have been published elsewhere before. Looking at the additions you made, the excessive details about your character aren't really needed (they would be more suited to an article like List of characters on Zoey 101) and the trivia is just that- trivia. If it's mentioned in some sources somewhere, it could find a nice place within the article. The details about your family life are relevent, but as per our policy regarding the biographies of living people, shouldn't be included without a source. Last thing- the homepage section in the infobox is reserved for a personal homepage; IMDb doesn't count as that! If you want to help the article, which we absolutely welcome, then finding a few reliable sources about yourself, and maybe uploading a picture of yourself (you'll have to create an account for that...) would be some great ways to help out. Feel free to drop me a line here if I can be of any further help regarding this article. J Milburn (talk) 17:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very much--I completely understand your revisions and appreciate your taking the time to explain them for me. There really is only one thing I would like to have put back, if possible. There was a line in the career section regarding my current work on the film "Family of Four"--being that it is still on the article pages for Alexandra Paul and Yousef Abu-Taleb, and as an added bonus, that information was not added by me but rather by a producer of the film, I was hoping that would be acceptable.

Yeah, ok, sure. I can't see there being any problem regarding that, I'll add it back in now. J Milburn (talk) 18:38, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Gary Gygax tag

Hi,

You just stripped the cleanup tag here for aesthetic reasons. While I appreciate that some users dislike the look of cleanup tags, they add pages to cleanup categories and to my knowledge they're still an approved way of flagging article issues. As for the justification, the intro is currently so scant that readers who weren't already familiar with Dungeons and Dragons would be pretty lost, as explained on the article talk page.

So long as cleanup tags are still an approved way of performing article cleanup, I'd appreciate it if they were left in place. I use them to keep track of most of my cleanup projects, and removing them on the basis that they "spoil" the article makes things more difficult for me. If there's project-wide consensus to stop using cleanup tags like this then I'm happy to find alternative solutions, but I don't see why they shouldn't be used if they're there.

3.0 Monster Manual

Hey, J. I'd like to get this thing moving along, so I'm going to finish up the MM for you and then you can copy/paste it to my userpage - or you can do that in reverse if you prefer.  :) BOZ (talk) 12:31, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey, no problem - we all get busy.  :) Thanks for the work and interest that you did put into it though! Athach was put up for deletion, and I did tell them that I would have these lists up before the AFD was through... so I don't want to be a liar.  :) BOZ (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I was thinking of just moving the pages (as discussed at User talk:BOZ/List of Dungeons & Dragons monsters#Wrapping it up, getting ready to ship) to mainspace when I'm done, if that would be easier. If that's not the right move, please let me know.  :) If you get a chance, also, could you look around at the current pages and see if there's anything that we really really need done before I set them up? I'll try to finish up the MM list today if I get a chance. BOZ (talk) 16:05, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

OK then, thanks for the advice. I'll finish up the 3.0 MM, then head it on out either today or tomorrow. When we get it live, other people can help to fix the pages up. :) As for merging the content from your sandbox into the page, it should keep your attribution to a point since you added it yourself - which is why I asked you to do it rather than doing it myself.  :) BOZ (talk) 16:18, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I mean, we have lists of dieties, modules, etc - but no monsters? The main reason it hasn't been done before is because no one wanted to put that much work into it... and now I'm feeling the reason why.  ;) BOZ (talk) 16:37, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I've redirected all the AFD-ed monsters I could find. Per the D&D Wikiproject page, I've started merge discussions on over a dozen monster articles - this will help us build consensus and avoid they "hey, you redirected my favorite article!" sort of complaint. BOZ (talk) 16:45, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

On second thought, it's not terribly bad, but maybe we could cut out listing at least some of the fey, elementals, and dragons individually. We could switch that out by adding links to say beholders, mind flayers, and drow or something? BOZ (talk) 16:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

If you scanned it from a book or took the picture in a gallery or something, that's also ok, just say so! J Milburn (talk) 17:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for your quick reply. I downloaded the picture from that website (i.e. the deadlink) a few months ago. I now see that the old site has been disconnected, and text and images moved to a different one, so I am going to upload the picture again with the new details, as suggested. Many thanks for your input...if you have further comments just let me know. Regards, Mark Troedson —Preceding unsigned comment added by 158.232.2.8 (talk) 16:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

pepsi dog

I found it on google, i don't understand all the complicated names for the licensing so i didn't put anything, for the cat, it is on multiple websites and I saw it used on a message board. How do I ad the information?I sourced them both, the dog was from myspace (i think it was myspace), the other (the cat) was on like 5 sites. I don't think either are copyright..Altenhofen (talk) 21:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

if I edit them on my computer can they be considere my own work?

is there any way i could possibly keep them?--Altenhofen (talk) 22:35, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

pretty baby (band)

Hi there! I would like to recreate a page that you recently deleted by another user. I would like to attempt to create the page Pretty Baby (band) according to the wiki guidelines, and I do not want to break the rules by trying to recreate the page without your approval. Can I proceed? Here is a link to the deleted page - http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Pretty_baby_%28band%29&action=edit&redlink=1 (Rainmakerartists (talk) 16:25, 28 April 2008 (UTC))

Andrew Schofield Image

Could you tell me why you deleted the image off the Andrew Schofield page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Schofield

I took the photograph in August 2007 and gave it permission to appear on Wikipedia. I believe I attached the correct copyright release. --Jess Liverpool (talk) 09:26, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

University of Virginia template

You deleted a logo from this template because it was unofficial. Looking at the history of discussion on Template:University of Virginia, and specifically at the logo discussion, it appears that in the past official logos were specifically proscribed. What is the project to do here? It appears that you've made a significant change to a template that appears on almost 100 pages on the basis of personal preference ("image huge and distracting"). I'd appreciate the opportunity to discuss this further with you. Right now what I'm going to do is revert your change until we get some consensus on what should be done.

Re: Image talk:Mullenweg matt.jpg

Sorry about not replying so soon. Us Australians have a different sleep pattern to most of you. :)

I actually did link to the page the image was linked from. The link was embedded in the text "If you need a press/conference headshot, try this [...]", although I didn't have the link. I should have formatted it like this, like it was on the site: "If you need a press/conference headshot, try this [...]"

I'll email Matt and ask if he's willing to license it under terms acceptable to us. — Jeremy 02:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the page move for this article. The talkpage needs to be moved back as well, but it requires a procedural delete. Can you take care of this, or should I add it to Requested Moves? -Verdatum (talk) 21:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Crusade intro.jpg

Hi. I saw where you deleted Image:Crusade intro.jpg after I had previously declined the speedy. The purpose of G7 is so that if a user makes a mistake, they can rectify that mistake. (The wording originally had "accidentally" in there somewhere.) Other than personal (user space) images, asking for an image to be deleted months after uploading it is not something that can be done with G7. Matthew is on something of a crusade (bad pun) against Babylon 5 + Crusade images (see Special:DeletedContributions/Matthew) and while I am generally supportive of getting rid of almost all fair use images, it needs to be done properly - nominate it at WP:IFD, have a disputed fair use discussion, or orphan it + tag it with {{orfud}} and see if anyone has a serious objection. --B (talk) 14:27, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Image Questions/Process

Hi! Quick question on process [3] here, where it seems like it's not marked for speedy any longer, which I agree with if, as your 1st edit summary says, there's a process. But then you're second summary seems to say it is up for deletion. I'm a little unfamiliar with the process with images, I was trying to clean up a ridiculous amount of spam from the uploader last night. Can you clarify? Thanks! TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 16:10, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it does, thanks. So basically it's up for the image equivalent of AfD and that if it's not fixed between those number of days, it's deleted? The editor is currently banned for a day and if he keeps up his course from last night, likely to be re-banned so unlikely to be able to address his own issues. It appers he just scanned his worksheet for use in his spam article, I think. Thanks for the explanation TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 16:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Got it, thanks! TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 16:38, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Green School, Kul-Kul Campus deletion...

I notice this got removed. By what process? If it was prodded I might have tried to rescue it. I know it was fairly low quality and have no arguments with its advertisement style, but I've seen a whole lot less notable schools kept.

Anyway, just for my own benefit, are you able to provide me with the text. If not useable for wikipedia, it was still of use to me. I can't see myself re-creating it though. thanks --Merbabu (talk) 00:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Yuk - it's worse than I remember. lol. But many thanks. I will see what, if anything, I can do with it. Cheers --Merbabu (talk) 20:22, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Canad Inns deletion

I see that you recently deleted the Canad Inns article because it had become nothing more than an add for the company. Recently, someone who seems to be from the company has been making edits to the article and rewriting it in a very promotional sort of way. However, I don't think the earlier version of the article (like here) is overly promotional. Take a look at the earlier version(s) and let me know what you think. --MatthewUND^(talk) 06:12, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Need you to block me

I have got some important things to do over the next week but every single time i cant do them because i continue to be bugged by wikitises, i just cant get off the damn thing. i would appreciate it if you block me for one week. please, i need you to this for me. thanks Roadrunnerz45 ^{(talk 2 me)} 13:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Email spamming

Spamming other people's email addresses is a serious offense, and I don't think that being upset over it means that someone needs to "grow up". I have no proof, but I am almost positive it's him. And by the way, he used rollback to revert one of my legitimate contributions and while I was blocked sent me two very immature emails calling my contribs "vandalism", so regardless of the "abuse" I dealt him on WR, it wasn't by any means one-sided. I don't think being angry about something I said on Wikipedia review justifies telling someone they need to "grow up" because they are angry that their inbox has been spammed.--Urban Rose 16:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

P.S. I didn't have to identify myself with my WR account. I chose to. If I had wanted to I could have been "abusive" to this editor without it being ever traced back to my Wikipedia account.--Urban Rose 16:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Email spamming

You're probably right, the thread was pointless, but Undead warrior did the same thing and basically asked that I be blocked for something I said on WR and I don't recall you telling him to "grow up".--Urban Rose 17:03, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I probably was, but I can show you the emails he sent me while I was blocked and give you a link to his reversion of a legitimate edit I made if you like. I think I had reason to be angry.--Urban Rose 17:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Technically, he didn't have evidence. As one user pointed out, it could have been someone impersonating me, but I admited on the AN thread that it was me.--Urban Rose 17:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind, as I had posted his email, he did have evidence.--Urban Rose 17:10, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Immaturity

I think there's a slight difference in the level of maturity between my getting angry about my inbox being spammed and starting a pointless thread on it, and a user sending me an email saying:

"HA. That's funny. The thing was closed. You re-opened it and I reverted it. I reverted your vandalism. You are in the wrong. You are still in the wrong. Drop it and let it go."

Camp Massad (Montreal)

hi there. i would like to know what needs to be done in order to remove the possibility of deletion of the recently created page: Camp Massad (Montreal) at the following location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camp_Massad_%28Montreal%29

i see that just recently you removed another image from the wiki page, and that following some of the history of this young page, a number of other images, etc.. have already been removed.

the warning is clearly visible at the top of the page regarding 'cleanup' and other such matters, but i don't actually understand what that entails. could you please point out what needs to be done in order to assure that this page can be maintained?

there is a similar page for another one of the Camp Massad (Manitoba), with much similar content, and their page was created at least a year back and does not seem to have encountered the initial difficulties that the Camp Massad (Montreal) page is facing.

any and all information and guidance will be appreciated.

Deletion of 40K Radio

Hi, you deleted 40K Radio, ten minutes after it was restored by Djsasso. I had promised to make it better, yet I have not had time to do so. I added a Hangon template, and said on the forum that I wou make it better very soon. I would appreciate it if you gave me a few minutes to make my project more relevant. Also it is relevnt as it is showing the variety of the 40K fanbase, depth of the hobby, and commitment of the fans. I would appreciate it if you would remove the Speedy Deletion template, and change it to a PROD if you feel nescessary. I will make the article better, but I need some time to do so. thanks Captain0loken (talk) 06:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
