Anthony Burgess

Why do you delete book cover images on the Anthony Burgess page, but not those on, to take just one example, the Gabriel García Márquez page? Genuinely seeking enlightenment here. (unknown date)

Hi!

Why did you ban me from #wikipedia?—Nat Krause^(Talk!) 19:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Givex

Having been contacted as part of my cabal work on behalf of User:Givex about their banning, I was wondering if you could explain your actions a little further. From what is available as evidence, I can see that the user, who readily accept the fact that they are an employee of the company, have done very little.

I realise that the concept of a company getting an employee to write an article might be politically unacceptable to some, but we must keep an open mind and assume good faith.

The company wrote an email asking for my assisstance and I quote:

We definitely do not want to be banned. We respect NPOV but as we just started the project, we may not have a very clear idea on how we can make a submission that meets NPOV requirements. If you could give me more info or even proof read before we post it on the site, that would be very helpful.

If there is something that I have missed, or some wrongdoing happened that I am unaware of, please inform me. Hopefully we can sort this out and quickly.

Why do you have to be such as the way you are on IRC? Just because you're a chanop doesn't give you the right to push other people around and be a jerk. And I don't appreciate your banning me for no reason, either. ~ Flame vip e r ^{Who's a Peach?} 18:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:MSMap-doton-Ethel.png

Thanks for uploading Image:MSMap-doton-Ethel.png. 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:

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. 14:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Beezo red.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Beezo red.png. 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Wikimedia Commons for uploads

Hi Bumm, would you please consider using Wikimedia Commons for all your future uploads you have created yourself? That way all your images can be used in all other projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, instead of what I see currently happening, them being copied all over the place. I'd highly appreciate you considering it and hopefully following my advice. Cheers! Siebrand 10:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Another tip I can give you: look into using commons:Commons:Tools/Commonist, which is a Java based tool to do mass uploads. It looks like you can use such a tool :-) Siebrand 10:58, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your undoing of deletion of Daniel Brandt

Hi there. I accidentally undid your undeletion of the article on Daniel Brandt, since the only edit visible was by an IP I figured the IP had recreated it. If you must undo my deletion, please don't just restore one revision, that violates the GFDL. You'd have to restore them all. Thanks. --Deskana (request backup) 15:50, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, typically something being on DRV isn't a reason to undelete it, especially if the DRV seems to be going in the direction of endorsing the deletion. --Deskana (request backup) 15:55, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you were right when you were sensing trouble. Three people have been desysopped. I wonder what'll happen. --Deskana (request backup) 01:34, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Concerns over emulation articles - use of WP:PROD

My intention was to use prodding to bypass the nuisance of many Afds without bypassing the process itself. Regardless of the worthiness of a topic for inclusion, various "keep! THIS IS IMPORTUNT!1!" voters inevitably arrive on the scene. In the case of a prod if these individuals contest it the template is simply removed and that's that, which bypasses all the nuisance of closing Afds full of keep "votes" that sometimes directly contradict policy. Due to my busy life I edit Wikipedia in a sometimes haphazard manner, and while I generally follow through on everything I don't always remember what steps I haven't taken. The final step of prod nomination is only recommended rather than mandatory, but it's usually one I would take anyway. I do apologise for overlooking it.

As for using Companies as the notability guideline, I'm as confused as you are! The guideline for software notability used to be Wikipedia:Notability (software), but it's now marked as inactive and states "Software applications are products, and fall under Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations)." According to that page "A ... product ... is notable if it has been the subject of secondary sources ... Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance" ... consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment..."

According to Wikipedia:Verifiability "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth ... Articles should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy". While these articles do have references none are to the "reliable, third-party published sources" the policy mandates, which means the "demonstrable effects" the guideline requires become much harder to actually demonstrate. The fact that Google hits and site membership are generally discounted doesn't help (WP:BIGNUMBER).

The vast majority of emulators are only written about within the emulation scene, and the vast majority of emulation sites would not fit the definition of reliable secondary sources. Other than the "household names" like MAME and ZSNES it's often extremely difficult to assess how significant a particular emulator actually is in the grand scheme of things because of the lack of proper sources covering them. It is because of this lack of significant evidence outside of that I thought the prodding of these would be relatively uncontroversial.

As for referencing these particular articles, AtariAge is one source I can think of off the top of my head; since their homebrew has been published in compilations such as the Activision Anthology they're surely highly regarded enough to be a "reliable source". If AtariAge has written a whole article about how cool a particular emulator is, that's a great start on showing the "demonstrable effects" of that emulator.

Anyway, I hope this long reply has answered all your questions. :) Garrett^Talk 23:38, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for (several images)

(Note: edited out mostly-redundant template text of several templates)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Artillery apple.png, Image:Scorched earth.png, Image:Addictionpinball wrf.png and Image:Addictionpinball worms.png. 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.

Ashland University

Care to show an actual source for the Gary Katsmeda information? Otherwise, I'm undoing it. I'm from Ashland, and I've never heard of the guy. --Cheezymadman (talk) 19:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh. Well I feel dumb. I looked at the history, and the latest version with that info in it had your name on it. My bad. --Cheezymadman (talk) 21:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You actions

why did you delete the article Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas? the reason you cited (copy violation) is invalid. i hope you have a very detailed explanation as to why you deleted this article last December. The school's administration in very upset with your actions. ¡Dustimagic! ^(T/C) 21:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

unwarranted deletion

You cited this page as evidence of a copyright violation for the article Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas http://www.jesuitcp.org/admissions/admission/History.htm

Can you please explain how this entire article is a copyright violation? As an administrator I have never heard of an entire quality article being deleted without going through the normal articles for deletion process. Perhaps you have some personal issues with the institution as 2 years ago you also deleted the article (since then it has undergone major revisions to remove anything "copyrighted"?? Regardless, I have restored the article to its conditions prior to your unwarranted deletion and undeleted it. Please leave it alone unless you can prove that it is worthy of deletion. This makes me sick. ¡Dustimagic! ^(T/C) 21:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I appreciate your handling of the situation with the article Jesuit College Preparatory School of Dallas. I agree with your statement regarding the need for cleaning up the article. I find it does read a bit like an advertisement. As for the issue with the text from the "Profile of a Graduate at Graduation," I am unsure how to go about making them original. They are in essence the tenants of the institution like a mission statement. I apologize for perhaps overreacting to the deletion. I just didn't understand the need to delete it all. I realize that Wikipedia is independent of the school and however they might feel. Given the amount of knowledge of those on campus, i think the school administration was hoping to see the article refined and made more objective by student Wikipedia users. Seeing the article outright deleted when it is one of the first search engine hits for the school was a suprise I suppose though the deletion occurred over a month ago. Please feel free to provide continued constructive edits and suggestions for how the article might be improved. I realize my reinstating of the article was slightly on the careless side and I'm sure that version might not have been the best. Thanks again. Also, congrats for bringing me out of a long Wikibreak because now I think I'll get involved again. ¡Dustimagic! ^(T/C) 08:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationales for Image:Addictionpinball worms.png and Image:Addictionpinball wrf.png

Thank you for uploading Image:Addictionpinball worms.png and Image:Addictionpinball wrf.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
