Replaceable fair use File:Brian Wilson, May 19 2011.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Brian Wilson, May 19 2011.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 20:51, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

The Beach Boys - numbers as figures or words

I was looking at your recent edit to The Beach Boys where you changed many numbers from figures to words in an attempt to comply with WP:NUMERAL. It is not clear to me which provision(s) you were attempting to follow. Some of the edits from figures to text seem inconsistent with the policy. Looking at other articles, numbers that are chart and other list positions are usually represented as figures, in many cases even for numbers less than ten (especially for consistency within a sentence). I'm going to edit The Beach Boys article to revert the edits you made that in my judgment are inconsistent with the policy, but feel free to respond here with your thoughts. --hulmem (talk) 05:36, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

My edit of chart placings and list positions to text was largely grounded from what I'd observed on feature articles within WikiProject Biography / Musicians. For example, the Beatles' article which appears to follow the MOS rather well (evidenced by its FA status) adheres to presenting these values with text rather than numbers. I know it's a minor issue, but I found having a mix of different ways of presenting this type information was rather distracting. Given that something that tops the charts is often cited in text as achieving "number-one", it makes sense to have other chart positions follow a similar way of being displayed. Also, I fixed a number of times where "No." was used instead of "number" within the reverted edit, something which I believe is less controversial, should we not reach consensus on this "numbers and figures or words" dispute, would it be okay for me to make that edit again? Thanks for taking the time to explain your actions. - Jamekae (talk) 09:31, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the thoughtful response. I think The Beatles article is unrepresentative because the group was so popular there is little dicussion of chart positions greater than nine (as of this moment there is only one such reference). The guidance at WP:NUMERAL actually doesn't help much; the first paragraph states

As a general rule, in the body of an article, single-digit whole numbers from zero to nine are spelled out in words; numbers greater than nine, if they are expressed in one or two words, may be rendered in numerals or in words (16 or sixteen, 84 or eighty-four, 200 or two hundred); those requiring more than two words are given in numerals (3.75, 544, 21 million).

The key point is that numbers greater than nine...may be rendered in numerals or in words, so the guidance is ambiguous. Some people, evidently such as yourself, prefer the consistency of using words for all numbers. Others don't care for numbers spelled out as words because they believe doing so is unnecessarily verbose and makes reading a little more difficult (you can read and comprehend "157" faster than "one hundred fifty seven"). In various style guides I have seen the convention to represent single-digit numbers as words and anything else as numerals; single-word numbers as words and anything else as numerals; and single- and double-word numbers as words and anything else as numerals. My impression from reading many Wikipedia articles (especially articles about music) is that most use single-digit numbers as words and anything else as numerals, and for chart positions, many articles use numerals exclusively. For example, see The Association, The Mamas & the Papas, The Grass Roots, The 5th Dimension, Jan and Dean, and The Hollies. Although no one person's opinion really matters, to me it seems clearer to state the position of an item in a list as numerals (instead of words) regardless of the numeric value, and I have seen this convention in a number of articles. So this method also provides consistency, but uses numerals as the consistent form instead of words. So in conclusion, I prefer the Beach Boys article as it currently stands, but I don't like to be anal about such things and will not revert it if you choose to re-edit it according to your personal preference. Thanks! --hulmem (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Brother Studios.jpg

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

If you created 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) 15:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Brother Studios

I just added the permission statement for File:Brother Studios.jpg, but a vigilant reviewer notes that there was a very different image in the history.

Based upon the note, " Wrong file uploaded.", I assume the first upload was in error, and that you only intend the permission to apply to the current image.

If that is correct, we will remove the first image, which was in error, is that OK?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:15, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

After conferring with an image expert, I am convinced, and I deleted the first version. If you think this was in error, let me know, otherwise, no need to respond.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 15:35, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

libel

[1] If Brian Wilson actually said it, then Wikipedia could not be held liable for libel. — goethean 15:51, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps not, I'll admit I'm not properly versed with these policies, however, surely placing such emphasis on a quote looking back 40 years in retrospect as a key central argument for why Smile was shelved is potentially damaging, especially the appropriate context has not been established. Without acknowledgement of how Brian's memory has been severely impaired due to health issues or how his story on Smile evolves near every time he talks about it, the edit stands as a flimsy one which is why I thought a case may have built for libel. I gather this is potentially not the case based on your comment, but regardless, I still firmly believe there are better ways of adding this information to the article without such recklessness. Jamekae (talk) 16:22, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
Agreed. — goethean 19:42, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Re:Thanks!

Thank you for the compliments. It was quite a struggle when I started editing BB articles, lots were a mess (and some still are). I admire your work to the articles. To get the WP off the ground we'd need some more editors that have an interest in the BB, that would have frequent time online (like you and me). Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 17:52, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

I've looked over Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide but there's nothing about how many members, I had to look on the proposals page number (which is annoying as it should be in the guide page, don't you think?). We'd need support votes of "6–12 active Wikipedians" on the proposals page (yep, we gotta go through the long waiting at the proposals page again) before we can start it. Though, the page says we can have a temporary homepage for the project as a user's subpage before we have the necessary amount of members. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 18:22, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
I've made a temporary project page, I've combined bits of WPBeatles and WPFloyd. It's still a WIP, so feel free to make any changes. Best, yeepsi (Talk tonight) 14:11, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Phil Spector 1965.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Phil Spector 1965.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{Non-free fair use}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
