May 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Cinebook has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Cinebook-Ltd-Franco-Belgian-Graphic-Novels-in-English/123803420967479?ref=ts.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 18:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of The Bellybuttons

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

It doesn't view it from a neutral point of view, nor does it have references.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Fair use rationale for File:Valerian cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Valerian cover.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 04:15, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Valerian cover.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Valerian cover.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).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:16, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

re: Valérian and Laureline

And most of your edits actually.

The edits to V&L are starting to look a lot like a marketing push in light of all of your edits in some way being related to Cinebook.

Is there a good reason, other than "It's the newest cover" or "It's Cinebook", to change the image in the "English translations" section of V&L?

- J Greb (talk) 15:28, 15 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, yes I'd like to keep up to date every Cinebook-related article as I am a fan, though my intention is not to promote them. Don't you think it is irrelevant to put a cover of the out-of-print english edition of Valerian?

- Gui.rater (talk) 11:45, 15 September 2010 (UK)

That actually comes down to two things: "Should we change the image in he "English translations" section?" and "Should we keep the image in he "English translations" section?"

For the first, if the reason for changing is just "That's old and out of print and this is new and in print." Then no, changing it isn't warranted. IF there is a more compelling reason, it can be spelled out on the article's talk page.

For the second... To be honest the more I look at it the more it seems the section should not have a image. The image, any image, imparts little information that the reader needs to explain the text. At that point it becomes decoration only, something that Wikipedia does not allow non-free images to be used as.

- J Greb (talk) 01:06, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, sorry for replying late. I agree then, there is no need for an image in that section. I'll delete it. - Gui.rater (talk) 14:55, 21 September 2010 (UK)

Orbital (comics)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Orbital (comics), and it appears to include material copied directly from http://ebook30.com/novel/novel/277565/orbital-1-scars-gn.html.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

File permission problem with File:Logo cinebook.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Logo cinebook.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 17:14, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Alpha-couv1.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Alpha-couv1.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
