License tagging for Image:Ad bb hawkman.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ad bb hawkman.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:

The article Al gordon has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

AfD nomination of Al Gordon (comic book artist)

An editor has nominated Al Gordon (comic book artist), 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 Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia 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 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Al Gordon (comic book artist) 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. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Orphaned non-free image File:WILDSTAR Poster Marrinan Gordon SIZED.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:WILDSTAR Poster Marrinan Gordon SIZED.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (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 Wikipedia 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. Eeekster (talk) 01:19, 10 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:WILDSTAR Poster Marrinan Gordon SIZED.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:WILDSTAR Poster Marrinan Gordon SIZED.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Proposed deletion of Hello People

The article Hello People has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no sources suggesting notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —EncMstr (talk) 08:07, 16 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Al Gordon

I note that you seem to take a great interest in the article Al Gordon (comics), and have added or tried to add much material that could be construed as promotional or self-promotional. Adding links to a subject's social media pages is not generally accepted, and violates WP:ELNO10. (Please see.) As well, your reverting to material that another editor has removed while citing the pertinent Wikipedia policy can be considered edit-warring, which can have potentially serious consequences. Please do not continue adding social media or other promotional links to articles. Thank you. --Tenebrae (talk) 02:02, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The reason I "take great interest in the article Al Gordon (comics)" is because I'm me: Al Gordon. The article is about me. My Facebook page is mine and according to The ELNO # 10 that you quoted - it says there is an exception: "Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject." Both of these Links are fairly official since they're mine. Although I'd like both links since they're so different... If you have a problem with there being two (2) Official Pages... I'd rather have the Flickr since it is a Gallery of my work.

Are you the from Tenebrae from comicbookresources?

To (talk) I was hoping to hear from you by now.

Hi. Just saw your message on my talk page. If there's no other official site for Al Gordon, then linking to an official social-networking page is acceptable. Linking to two is generally considered promotional, and if you are indeed Mr. Gordon (since there's no way to tell on Wikipedia; I wish we had a verification function like Twitter), it would be self-promotion and a possible violation of conflict-of-interest policy.

However, you are correct: On closer examination, none of the current ELs appear to be official sites. In that case, it would be acceptable under ELNO to add a social-network page. You pick. And if I may, we really should have had this conversation before you reverted.

I wasn't aware there was a Tenebrae writing for ComicBookResources. Small world. Happy holidays. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again:

I find it amusing that you would assume someone in their right mind would want to impersonate me. Very odd indeed.

It seems to me you are enforcing a Rule that doesn't exist. Can you tell me where on the ENLO page that it says I'm only allowed "one (1) Official External Link?"

All of my links are intended to give Information or Compliment the Article, for example, by showing a Gallery. None of these sites are selling anything.

I've noticed a lot of other pages have quite a few Official External Links… "Justine" Beaver has a FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.… Adam Hughes has his Official Website and Deviant Art… Major Lazer has an Official page, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube… Jim Lee has DeviantArt, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube…

Can you show me, officially, where it says that Living People are always only represented by a Single External Link?

Albabe (talk) 02:43, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I assume since I have received no retort from Tenebrae, that I may replace the links on the article about Al Gordon.

Albabe (talk)

I'm not Tenebrae but I can answer some of your points. You will definitely see articles that break guidelines. That just means that all of us volunteers are just stretched thin and haven't caught up to them yet. It's not always fair but everybody does the best they can. It's kind of like the guy you see get away with speeding while someone else gets a ticket.

It can be hard to learn all the complicated guidelines here. My personal suggestion is to go very slowly and carefully when it comes to editing a page about yourself. In that situation it's often best to ask a more experienced editor before making a change yourself or even to ask the other editor to make the edit for you. I know that might sound overly complicated but editing your own article without violating Wikipedia's guidelines is a very tricky situation. I'd suggest reading Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

I'd also reccommend taking any disagreements to the talk page of the article. Wikipedia can get a little hectic with so many editors all working on the project at once. If we all just undid each others edits whenever we disagreed every article would be like a crazy game of ping pong as each editor undid the others' changes and reimplemented their own! Instead the reccommended thing to do as soon as somebody undoes one of your edits is to open a discussion on that article's talk page and talk out the disagreement. For example I see disagreement about how many images to use and about which external links to use.

Hope that helped some and welcome to Wikipedia. Cloveapple (talk) 21:10, 27 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've just removed some promotional edits at Al Gordon (comics). I would strongly suggest that the subject of the article refrain from editing it. This is an encyclopedia article and not a fan page, and if the subject feels that the conflict of interest guidelines are unfair or inapplicable, I would invite him to speak with an admin.

If these promotional edits continue, I will have to post a notice at the Conflict of Interest Noticeaboard to request admin action.

Please continue this discussion at Talk:Al Gordon (comics) for the purpose of centralization. --Tenebrae (talk) 02:26, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You, sir, are not only attempting to exploit Wikipedia for your own self-promotion, but are now telling me I cannot comment on a page I've edited several times?

Links to commercial sales sites

WP:ELNO states clearly not to link to "individual web pages that primarily exist to sell products or services." Linking your comic book to the solicitation page that sells your comic book is both against Wikipedia guidelines and just ethically wrong. As well, WikiProject Comics guidelines disallow linking to solicitation pages at all, your own or anyone else's.--Tenebrae (talk) 06:02, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You asked for a citation that the comic I wrote existed. I provided that link for you for that reason... so, please don't imply that I'm being unethical when you know exactly why it was posted. Please stop insulting me.

A few of your edits

Could you please tell me why exactly you removed information from this page? The said information was valuable and valid, and it was not in any way, redundant.

If such information is going to be removed from pages, they should at least be done so with a descriptive explanation, and if necessary, such information should be transferred, not removed completely. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 08:27, 18 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable album articles

An unreferenced article you created, Train Kept A-Rollin' – The Complete Giorgio Gomelsky Productions, has been redirected to the Yardbirds discography for a second time. It may be helpful to review WP:NALBUM, the WP guideline outlining notability requirements for album articles. The key provision is:

All articles on albums, singles or other recordings must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject ... Notability aside, a standalone article is only appropriate when there is enough material to warrant a reasonably detailed article; articles unlikely ever to grow beyond stubs should be merged into the artist's article or discography.

Proposed deletion of Todd Rundgren's Johnson

Hello, Albabe. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Todd Rundgren's Johnson, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

@ Jennica: The link I added to discogs is a quote from the inside the album and it's used as the "Official" Review at Amazon. I found it quoted a few places and thought that one was the "easiest" to get to because discogs has been 100% reliable for me when looking for actual Record Content. Is allmusic considered "Reputable?" How about theseconddisc? recordcollectormag? goldminemag?

Thanks! —Anomalocaris (talk) 04:49, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Much appreciated. I actually copped my signature color/HTML from editor, Starblind's signature... which is basically how I do my Edits, or even when I create a page - I just open a similar page to the one I wanna "create" and swipe all the Formatting, and then change the Particulars. It's much easier and faster than creating a page from Scratch with the Wiki-How To Create a Page tutorials. But of course, it can mess things up quite a bit too.

Proposed deletion of The Best of Herman's Hermits: The 50th Anniversary Anthology

The article The Best of Herman's Hermits: The 50th Anniversary Anthology has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:NALBUM. The article is blatantly promotional

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Rogermx (talk) 18:36, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This album Page is no different than any other album Page. The idea that"The article is blatantly promotional," is absurd.

Rad Gumbo- The Complete Warner Bros. Years 1971-1990 moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Rad Gumbo- The Complete Warner Bros. Years 1971-1990, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

January 2021

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Baby, I Love Your Way, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please see WP:IPCV as well. DonIago (talk) 13:53, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

DonIago I am pretty "deficient" at doing the reference links... I always mess the page up. The Info is everywhere you look... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2283362/soundtrack?ref_=tt_trv_snd Maybe you could help me?

albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 18:58, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS/IMDb. Can you provide an alternate reference? DonIago (talk) 19:57, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey DonIago< I just watched the Film and heard it and wondered who did it... (I realize that's not worth a bean). I found a few pages (below) that are not likely "Official" enough...but I'm not sure where else to search? Any ideas?

albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 17:33, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I did some cursory Googling and I couldn't find anything beyond a cursory mention of the song being used in the film, which isn't sufficient to satisfy WP:IPCV. I would recommend asking at the article's Talk page if you feel strongly about it, as that way other editors who may be interested can weigh in as well. Cheers! DonIago (talk) 17:38, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

So... having a "Reliable Source" (whatever that might be) watch the film doesn't work? albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 18:02, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

No, because we need a source that doesn't prove that the song occurs in the film, but rather that its use in the film is significant in some manner, as discussed at WP:IPCV. Or, as I like to put it, we need to prove not just that the tree fell in the woods, but that it made a sound when it fell. DonIago (talk) 18:28, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm Sundayclose. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Let It Be (Beatles album), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Sundayclose (talk) 23:01, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Sundayclose . Sorry about that. I was about to change that back and then got your message. I misread some info about that collection and was misled by some collectors who were as ignorant as I am. The Blu-Ray that comes with the "Let It Be" Collection is Blu-Ray Audio, and not the original Film. My apologies... I feel like an idiot. I had heard that the New Jackson Doc was going to be released with the Original Get Back Doc as an bonus extra. But that was all before it became a 6 Hour Disney Doc. Again, my apologies.
