Band pictures

Holy shit! I and many other users are thankful you're uploading pictures for Wikipedia to use. Recent policy discussions are making the use of fair use media harder and harder, and I appreciate you donating some great pictures. What other bands do you have images for? Hopefully we can coordinate a way of adding pictures to needy articles. WesleyDodds 06:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh, p'shaw. <blush> I'm glad to be able to share them. Better the world see these pictures than simply letting them sit in a shoebox in my closet, right?

Most of my music photos (primarily 80s stuff) are already on my [personal] andwhatsnext.com web site, though I'm uploading several higher-res images to Wikipedia (and removing the watermarks on my more popular pictures: Siouxsie, Simon LeBon, Daniel Ash, Robert Smith). I have another 30 or so photos queued up to upload as I get the time. Let me know if there's something specific you want!

I have also done interviews with various musicians over the years (and worked in the business for awhile) so am looking at ways to share some of that information, too. :-)

- Nancy / Andwhatsnext 14:19, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, it would be especially helpful if you have full band pictures (ie. The Cure, Bauhaus, Love and Rockets, Depeche Mode). Those are especially hard to get, particularly from any time that wasn't less than three years ago.

Also, don't be afraid to replace an artist's infobox image with your own. Most of the ones you've posted in articles are using fair use images anyway. WesleyDodds 22:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, full band images are few and far between in my collection. I have 2-3 members at a time, but usually no more. (Crowded House is one exception. Have photos with Big Audio Dynamite and King - but a friend and I are in the photo, too. Then there's one of 3/4 of the guys in Depeche Mode... from the back: http://andwhatsnext.com/wp-content/uploads/depeche-mode-leaving-sf1.jpg)

How about this: I paste Daniel Ash onto Peter Murphy's photo, then I can photoshop the brothers Haskins in really small in the background and we would be SET!

Actually, you may be on to something there. Use cropped headshots of band members and arrange them into a portrait, not unlike the image over at New Order. That would be perfect in most cases (Dave Gahan did have one distinctive hairstyle in the 80s, though).

I like the Edge photo on your site, by the way. WesleyDodds 00:23, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Quinn with a bus

I thought you'd want to know, I was so charmed by Quinn's pic that I decided to make a "favorite image of the moment" section on my user page. ^_^ V-Man737 07:18, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! That is so sweet. I saved your page to my "Quinn" directory (where I also keep all of his YouTube comments, and a Vox "this is good" mention) for him to have one day. :-) Andwhatsnext 17:55, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Images you've uploaded

Hi, I can't help noticing that while you've licensed many of your photographs under the GFDL, you've also included the line "Copyright (c) 1987 by Nancy J Price" (or whatever year it happens to be). I don't claim to be an expert on image copyright so I was just pointing the apparent contradiction out because the GFDL is a "copyleft"-type license which may conflict with the copyright you are claiming. Axem Titanium 02:01, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

LOL - well, I guess I want my cake and to eat it, too. Really, though, the license is the most valid of the two - I put the other line in to (theoretically - and hopefully) discourage people blatantly using the image without credit, etc. I originally saw someone else here used the two together... and thought so I might as well, too. ;-) Andwhatsnext 04:06, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Images about Autism

Hi, I found the Imagage you uploadet about your autistic boy and want to ask you, if you can upload them in Commons too, so that othr Wikipadians from othr countries can use them too. I can't do that, because I can't upload the image on my PC. It just doesn't work. I don't know why. Thank's a lot. --Sylvester84 11:08, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Your lifestyle as an 80's teen

Hi, browsed thru all the pages of your quite amazing site/blog, all those photos and backstage adventures are quite an accomplishment. I have a question tho: all those concert tickets and star chasing trips across the country (not to mention across Europe) must've cost a fortune. What was your secret of financing them as a 15-16 year-old? Gregorik 08:50, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Howie-day-on-bus-mesa-az.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Howie-day-on-bus-mesa-az.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 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 non-free media 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. Shell ^babelfish 01:45, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Catherine-wheel-pr-photo1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Catherine-wheel-pr-photo1.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Ash-in-tempe-2005-charlotte-np-cropped.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 02:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
