License tagging for Image:2006 poster AMI.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:2006 poster AMI.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:

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. 13:04, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Veda Beaux Reves, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please write {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, articles #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Prolog 00:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Tagging articles

If the author of the article removes speedy deletion tags of articles without saying in the edit summary why, or if he removed them and hasn't placed the hangon tag there then here are some warnings to use, use one warning for every time he/she does this:

Start from the first warning and then if the user continues move up a level and so on. If the user continues to removed Afd tags after {{drmafd4}} then you should report him Here. Hope this helps you on your way and if you need any help please do not hesitate in contacting me on my Talk Page

Also for a large grid of warnings ranging about loads of Wikipedia rules violations then see This Page. Respectfully.... Telly addict 15:40, 20 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:2006_poster_AMI.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2006_poster_AMI.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 ensure 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 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. MER-C 10:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Exxtreme Droughts.jpg

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:48, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Panti_Bliss.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Panti_Bliss.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 18:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Blocking vandalism IP

Hello. Thank you for the message you left on my talk page [1].

revert the vandalism when it happens
issue a warning for the inappropriate edit
1. be sure to issue an escalated warning if the IP ignores the previous warning and vandalizes again
2. remember that due to the shared nature of IP addresses, warnings generally start over at the beginning of each month
if the editor continues making inappropriate edits after receiving a level-four warning, report the user to WP:AIV

Hope this helps! --Kralizec! (talk) 01:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Antaeus (electronica)

Hello. I noticed that you requested the speedy deletion of the page Antaeus (electronica). Remember that when you request an article's deletion (via CSD, PROD or AFD) you should warn the creator of the article (and, in other cases, major contributors of it, when you are taking it to AfD) about your request. This is not a general rule, but it is considered a polite gesture. Thank you, Victor Lopes (talk) 01:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

YouTube links on Alternative Miss Ireland

Thanks for your information. The links were to YouTube content from the copyright owners and if watched will be beyond doubt valid references. Unfortunately the available on-line references from mainstream media sources are few and far between although there is ample proof of notablity with the YouTube links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Is Mise (talk • contribs) 03:46, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of "Sadiq Yusuf"

Hi there,

I've replied to you're notification and another user you may not know "Sadiq Yusuf" which is fine he's young but talented which lead him to be known so he would be a "public figure" but not widely known , Wikipedia will give many people a chance to know him. Also please note before have a speedy request of delete giving a warning is also a good sign, I've giving references etc.. to do with my topic and also you're reason isn't a fair enough reason for deletion process as my topic covers the base range about "Sadiq Yusuf". Takes a full week for a user to make certain changes in improving articles too.

Hello Diagear my page was not a pure vandalism or hoax just recognition to someone that deserves it, and I have contested it thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LDBullock (talk • contribs) 17:52, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of "Ohbrightsparks"

Hi Diagear, I just wondered why you had flagged my article for deletion? I am a big fan of this band and feel that my sources are legitimate and that they are quite a notable band already? - The singer of the band is very well known and has sold millions of records as a songwriter... The band have been featured in 'The Times', toured with the Winner of The Voice (where I discovered them), and also played big Festivals like the Reeperbahn festival (all of which were properly referenced from external websites and newspapers). best, Jory — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jorysmith192 (talk • contribs) 21:29, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New page patrolling

Hi Diagear. You might have noticed that I've removed PRODs and declined speedy deletions for a number of articles you nominated and have opposed your nomination of Dunlop hill. I really think you need to be more careful when new-page-patrolling. This nomination of something only 8 minutes after it was created is bitey and (to be frank) more than a bit lazy. I know a lot of crap gets created and then deleted (I spend a lot of time at AfD) but you really need to give some thought to whether something can be fixed with a tiny bit of good editing rather than being deleted. The nomination of Dunlop hill makes no sense at all. Whether WP:GEOLAND was a mistag or not, WP:BEFORE still applies when you're new-page-patrolling. The results listed in the discussion are from the first four Google Books results. Nobody expects you to trawl the internet for days to find sources but not even looking at the first page? C'mon. Just try to WP:AGF a little more and give people more than a tea break's worth of time before nominating their work for deletion. St★lwart¹¹¹ 07:34, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
