The Real People

No problem :) --Muchness 00:58, 4 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Creamy Whirls were actually a part of the band. Both girls were present from the very beginning. Although they didnt sign the Polydor deal with the boys they were an integral part of the band and did sign the management deal. Whitehouse Mgmnt then began to outsource the Creamy's to various bands and record companies, thus their careers began. Mick Swift.

Ainslie Henderson

I see you have removed a link to a fansite. This site also includes a considerable amount of biographical information useful for the verification of the article, and was not merely "link farming". Would it be possible for you to reinstate it? Jud 10:51, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to refer to our style guide at Wikipedia:External links#What_should_be_linked_to. Generally speaking, fansites are not dependable sources of information, and making exceptions only invites additional links to more unreliable fansites down the road. Unless this particular website is an official fansite for Henderson, I would be wary of its reliability and not in favour of its replacement.

License tagging for Image:AlbumCoverTM.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:AlbumCoverTM.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 21:04, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Real people/Oasis

I suppose it would make more sense in the Oasis article. I don't know much about the real people so its up to you really as to whether you think it's significant. I'm not too sure what yer proposing though--Crestville 15:22, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

oh yeah, that would be fine, though you might leave some mention of it in the real people article. Yeah, small world indeed. I was talking to another lad no so long back who's in the same boat. Why the fuck can't we all live in Hawaii or summat?--Crestville 23:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your list of articles

I put bullets in your list so it would be on different lines instead of all on one line. Hope you don't mind. Thanks for taking my quiz :) Danny Lilithborne 02:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No probs and thank you! :) Jud 13:22, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fame Academy 2

Sorry, the original sentence was ambiguous: I thought it was referring to the live singing that was moved, as opposed to the shows that were moved. It makes sense now. :-) Chris 42 19:25, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Paolo Nutini

Well done it looks great. Im looking forward to going to see him when he comes to my city in october. He has become quite big very quickly. Funny really that i had to argue so hard to keep the article.

Well done for improving it! Wright123 16:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your comment in regard to links

The user was going to non-existent articles, going to the talk page, and putting up a single link, which means that the talk pages would be deleted shortly after. If you'd bothered to check the actual articles before criticizing the message I left you'd see I did not remove those links and instead referred to edits which have since been deleted. If there's anything else you don't understand, let me know. --TM 01:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there is evidence in the deletion log. Simply scroll down to 21:44, August 11, 2006 and you'll see a series of six talk pages deleted by Xaosflux accompanied by a summary of the content of the pages ie. my nomination for speedy deletion and the sole link to the FASC added by the anon user. In future it's best to get clarification first if something confuses you rather than start criticizing. --TM 20:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how you can miss it, just follow this link and scroll down to 21:44, August 11, 2006 or just do a search on the page for the phrase "Talk:Ashley House (singer)", which is the first in the series of deleted talk pages. --TM 22:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a copy and paste of the section of the log, sorry that it's messy:

# 21:44, August 11, 2006 Xaosflux (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Ashley House (singer)" (content was: '{{db|talk page of non existent article, only external link}}*[http://p218.ezboard.com/fthefascfrm48.showMessage?topicID=16.topic Ashley at The FASC]') # 21:44, August 11, 2006 Xaosflux (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Camilla Beeput" (content was: '{{db|talk page of non existent article, only external link}}*[http://p218.ezboard.com/fthefascfrm48.showMessage?topicID=18.topic Camilla at The FASC]') # 21:44, August 11, 2006 Xaosflux (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Chris Manning" (content was: '{{db|talk page of non existent article, only external link}}*[http://p218.ezboard.com/fthefascfrm48.showMessage?topicID=17.topic Chris at The FASC]') # 21:44, August 11, 2006 Xaosflux (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Naomi Roper" (content was: '{{db|talk page of non existent article, only external link}}*[http://p218.ezboard.com/fthefascfrm48.showMessage?topicID=28.topic Naomi at The FASC]') # 21:44, August 11, 2006 Xaosflux (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Nigel Wilson" (content was: '{{db|talk page of non existent article, only external link}}* [http://p218.ezboard.com/fthefascfrm48.showMessage?topicID=26.topic Nigel at The FASC]') # 21:44, August 11, 2006 Xaosflux (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:Pippa Fulton" (content was: '{{db|talk page of non existent article, only external link}}*[http://p218.ezboard.com/fthefascfrm48.showMessage?topicID=27.topic Pippa at The FASC]')

I'm not sure why you're having trouble seeing this, I don't see the logs you mentioned. Since the log keeps getting pushed back, this is where it is now.

To answer your questions, the reason the edits don't show up in any contributions is because once an article is deleted all its history goes with it, which is reflected in user contributions. So both the people who create the article, tag the article, and delete it don't have anything show up in their contributions after the article is deleted. And as to how a non-existent articles can have a talk page: talk pages are just as easy to create as any article. You simply go the article, click on discussion, and insert text. It's so common that it's number eight of the criteria for speedy deletion. --TM 01:32, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's really strange, I'm puzzled as well. I'm also using Firefox by the way. I have no idea how the logs could change per user/browser like that. --TM 11:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Level Up

Hi, thanks for everything you've done on the Level Up article! I've started a list of all the Next Levels, and I was wondering if you could help me. I think I've got all of them apart from the marine biology one. Thanks! Jatkins 18:58, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Image:Tony Moore.jpg

You have removed the licensing tag I added to this image. Please replace it. I have an email from Tony Moore, the copyright holder, giving permission for this image of himself, taken from his website, to be released into the public domain in order for it to be used in his wikipedia entry. What is the correct procedure for providing proof in these circumstances? Jud 00:15, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you really asked him to release the image to the public domain, ask him to send an e-mail confirming this to permissions AT wikimedia DOT org (see WP:COPYREQ#When_permission is confirmed) and then use the {{PD-release}} tag. But if you only asked for permission to use the image on Wikipedia, the {{permission}} tag should be kept, an the image will eventually be deleted. --Abu Badali 00:30, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The actual wording of the request to the copyright holder was as follows. I specifically mentioned that they would be made available for unrestricted use.

Hi Tony,

Would it be possible for you to provide some non-copyright photos for use on 
your entry in Wikipedia? The photos on your page keep being deleted as the 
copyright is unknown.

Any photos used would have to be made available for unrestricted use to 
conform with Wikipedia's policies so the permission of the copyright holder 
is necessary.

His reply was:

Hi Jude

www.tony-moore.com

There are lots of pics there and you have my permission to use them..

does that help?

All the best T

I can supply a copy of this email to wikipedia permissions.org if necessary. Jud 00:47, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I would say your wording was mostly ok, but his reply was not. He gave permission to use the image, but did not released it into the public domain.

Try one of the examples letters on Wikipedia:Example requests for permission.

This is a good quality image and it would be great to haveit released under a free license. Let me know about any developments on this matter. Best regards, --Abu Badali 01:01, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Taunton School.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Taunton School.jpg. The image description 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.

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. Note that any fair use images 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.

FASC

Jud, I apologize. I had just dealt with some spamming by other boards hosted by the same company, with the way these ones were added (mulitple links by a single IP address one after another) I got over zealous and clearly assumed too much. It wasn't my intention to delete useful sites. I'll go back and revert my edits to Fame Academy participants. --Siobhan Hansa 02:32, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've reverted them all. If you see that I missed any, please let me know. Thanks. --Siobhan Hansa 02:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Justin Wilson

Thanks, that clears it all up. Warofdreams talk 22:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your concerns on Template:Song infobox

What would you like changed. If you can make a comprehensive list that would be helpful -- Ashadeofgrey 00:00, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: External link

Hello there! When I removed the link it stated The Real People fan forum (currently inactive, April 2006) There are some problems with the link:

No way to confirm it is their official fan site
Apparently it is not active (Last Updated Topic: N/A)
It requires registration to access its content.

Even if it is their official fan site and active enough, the last point is a major drawback. Links that require registration are frowned upon, unless they fulfill any of those two points listed there, which I believe a forum does not. -- ReyBrujo 17:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you to bring the issue to Wikipedia:External links. Personally, I don't think it qualifies, but if the people there believes it can be included, I would not object at all! -- ReyBrujo 01:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
