Your contributed article, Hong kong junks

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Hong kong junks. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Junk (ship). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Junk (ship) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 12:14, 27 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I approved this because it is much better than the previous, although I would've passed that as well. It will be cleaned up more, once visible, because we do not source words like Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube within the article. Those are considered external links and should be put at the bottom below the Reference section. Overall, great work! — ^Wylie_Coyote 19:41, 9 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks so much Wylie. Really appreciate the feedback. Have added a photo and an infobox to the Toonami (Asia) page, and look forward to seeing more fans contributing to it further in the next few months. HKJamesM (talk) 04:07, 10 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Toonami Batman Brave and the Bold.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Toonami Batman Brave and the Bold.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:45, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reply re: copyright issues.

Hi HKJamesM, thanks for your note. Preface: I am not a copyright expert. Wikipedia always errs on the side of caution with regard to copyright, and I believe that all creative works are copyrighted once "fixed" (See Berne convention) The source you got it from, is clearly marked with a copyright at the lower right of the page, which makes it fairly unambiguous that we shouldn't parrot it unless under normal fair use protocols. (Properly excerpted, quoted, directly attributed, etc.) While facts aren't typically copyrighted, the way those facts are phrased is. More importantly: Wikipedia is not the press, and we are not mouthpieces for publicity or any other form of advertising. The content we derive should ideally be coming from reliable secondary sources: books, magazines, newspapers, reputable news websites, etc. We do allow limited primary sources like press releases for uncontroversial content "TBS Asia is broadcast in 38 countries", but any kind of fluff about "award-winning" or even revenue should not come from primary sources, because there's always an incentive to inflate or deflate depending on the corporate goal. Related to this, this is one of the reasons why we strongly discourage people who have a conflict of interest from editing at Wikipedia. You ever read a biography that an actor wrote himself? Self-indulgent drivel!

Back to topic, we need content to be written from a neutral point of view, and that's hard for people to do when they're intrinsically tied to a subject, and/or work in the marketing department. As an admin, I'm very swamped dealing with vandals and sockpuppets and other irritants, so I can't do much for that article except patrol it. Going forward, I'd probably recommend a few things:

Consider disclosing any COI you might have on your user page. This should help other editors see that you're a good guy.
If you're interested in editing that or other related articles, you might consider posting requests (and disclosing your COI) on the relevant talk pages. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
But, it's quite possible that some pages don't get a lot of visits, so you might not get a lot of responses. Other options: 1) Post your help request at WikiProject Television. There are some really smart folks over there and they can offer guidance. 2) You could also ask for assistance at the Wikipedia Help Desk. Try not to be discouraged by the grouchy smart alecks!

Honestly, I wish that we could better integrate television network resources into Wikipedia, because TV is such a backbone of our culture, and its data is important. I'm not sure how that would work, but one thing that has been a persistent pain in the ass, has been trying to chase down accurate air dates for TV articles, including overseas air dates. Zap2It, TVGuide.com, TV.MSN.com are rarely consistent and I'd say that 90% of the hassles the WikiProject Television deals with, is numerical vandalism. Without reliable resources this project will always have problems. But now I'm just rambling.

I've added back two facts as supported by your reference. If you can find me a reference that the HQ is in Hong Kong, we can change that.

Hope some of the stuff above helps, and if you have any other questions, I promise to be succinct. Feel free to reply here if you like, I'll add your talk page to my watchlist. Regards, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 06:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
