Notability and Licensing and Independence and Reliability

[edit]

I think we have to accept that any reliable guide to Pokemon will have to be licensed. I think it is evidence of notability in itself that so many different publishers license the intellectual property of Nintendo to write pokemon guides and they are published and apparently sell well. Any detailed article about pokemon would have a legal obligation to be licensed or else it would be in violation of copyright law, which I think would make it unreliable. So I do not think it's legitimate to require books about fictional characters to not be licensed in order to be considered independent 3rd party sources. It is the legal obligation of anyone writing about a copyrighted fictional character to get licensing unless they're writing criticism or parody which would not require it. Felisse (talk) 15:28, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for your reply, that was very nice. I think I did not fully convey what I meant. I think it's completely possible for a topic to be notable without having parody or critique written about it specifically. This is especially the case for items that are primarily directed at children, who are less likely to be interested in creating criticism. So that if fifteen different authors write about something, even if they are (as adults) not interested in it themselves (which would lead to criticism or parody) but mainly in the money they can make off kids who are interested in the documented minutia of the subject matter (what does it eat, what are its powers, etc), that still estabilishes notability of the subject matter and is independent enough to be consulted for an article even if it is the only source. Since the only reason it is being licensed is that it would be illegal not to, then I do not think the licensing should discount it. Felisse (talk) 15:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:N says: " "Independent of the subject" excludes works produced by those affiliated with the subject including (but not limited to): self-publicity, advertising, self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, press releases, etc.[5] " and note 5 says: "Works produced by the subject, or those with a strong connection to them, are unlikely to be strong evidence of interest by the world at large. See also: Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for handling of such situations." This shows that the purpose of independence of sources is to be strong evidence of interest by the world at large. And it is true that a single licensed guide would be hardly any evidence of interest by the world - but you note that "licensed" was not one of the affiliations listed by name, and I believe this is because licensing needs to be taken on a case by case basis as to whether it constitutes affiliation. I therefore think my interpretation is legitimate under the current wording of WP:N.

Come Back To Me

[edit]

Someone just made an article of that page. Unfortunately, Say Ok didn't. I just got a message on my talk page from a Bot thing and it was like "thanks for uploading those pictures" i thought there was a talk to delete that page? Kikkokalabud (talk) 10:19, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering...I found a ton of information about Come Back To Me, Say OK and Sneakernight. I wanted to put it on the album page but it would ruin the page. So I wanted to ask you if you could tell me how to make a discussion if Hudgens' singles would have their own pages since I got tons of information.Kikkokalabud (talk) 03:53, 20 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Re: Singles infoboxes

[edit]

I'm not sure if Wikipedia was a hard guideline on this, but I'd personally go for this version as a full single infobox sort of clutters the article. Hope that was helpful. Funk Junkie (talk) 22:30, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. :-) Funk Junkie (talk) 22:38, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've just come across another issue: adding single covers to album articles isn't non-fair use per Wikipedia:Non-free content? Funk Junkie (talk) 00:50, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I thought so too, but some time ago I had single covers I added to Angie Stone and India.Arie album articles deleted, and these singles didn't have their own articles, so it made me think it all over. Funk Junkie (talk) 00:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, I think I'll use this method from now on whenever I come across cases like those. Funk Junkie (talk) 01:26, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You Me At Six

[edit]

This is the first time i have edited the article, i deleted the template by mistake, but i must protest the deletion, because they are one of the biggest bands on the Uk scene, and as you can see have been nominated for awards, and this article can be improved drastically within minutes, and it is my intention to do so when i next get a chance today.

re "...intrusion."

[edit]

No problem - in fact it is probably a good thing to have the occasional sysop action queried so that I can ensure that my criteria is valid. It is sometimes apparent that when an admin does not care for their actions to be subject to criticism (in the proper sense) otherwise good actions get picked to pieces for not being "perfect". So, if you spot anything else don't hesitate to bring it to my attention. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:55, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lists and the GNG

[edit]

Based on your comments, I added Wikipedia:Notability/RFC:compromise#Proposal_A.4:_Lists_may_be_exempted_from_the_GNG, a proposal to "exempt" list-form articles from the GNG. Personally, I think they may actually be covered, but I would appreciate your comments, and it would be useful to see where consensus lies on this issue.

Let's throw another sentence in there, then, which gets to the point that the character's fictional experiences are a kind of example introduction to the philosophical (and pseudoscientific) worldview which the filmmakers are advancing. Naturezak (talk) 02:56, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
  • HHNRecordsPR was banned from posting any more infomation on this site. Since that was everything I wanted to say, I placed my signature at the end of the comment. Also, since you are looking into the posting history, you can clearly see I placed my signature there after they were banned. Question, If I was HHNRecords, Why whould I disguise my identity if I thought I was posting the comment under the GhostDog21 user name? I know the person HHNRecordsPR, and just like me, they are not with the label either. I'm not sure why they picked that name, dumb idea. That person told me the reason they were banned was due to them having the label name in thier user name, and it seemed like they worked for the label, which is B.S. I noticed on the history of G-Unit Records and Shady Records that there are user names with the label in them, Heck, there is even an administrator with G-unit in their user name, and they make contributions to the label articles. • GhostDog21 (talk) 12:07:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

B.6 seems like it could be a viable compromise position with some modification, so I have created a set of notes for improvement/revision (User:Vassyana/RFC notes). I'm attempting to address as many points as possible while maintaining a coherent approach and principle. I believe that I address your concerns in the notes, so I would appreciate your feedback on the notes sandbox talk page to ensure I'm on the ball. Thanks!

False vandalism charges

[edit]

Hi. Please note the IP removed many chart positions and even a source on V (Vanessa Hudgens album). It was the same thing on Vanessa Hudgens discography. As you can see, these edits *are* vandalisms. Therefore, my warnings against this editor are totally justified. For the sales in the U.S., I don't know if this info is true or false, but this change came from a vandal, and I've supposed it was false. As I see you have reverted my changes, I will request arbitration by a third person. Europe22 (talk) 20:45, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but frankly, I have a doubt on your good faith, as, for example, you let the IP do this change, that was clearly a vandalism (= ref removed and false chart positions)... I've asked an administrator, Garion96, his opinion. Europe22 (talk) 21:47, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The IP has added the entry positions, not the peak positions. For example, the SNEP, that compiles French singles, albums and digital charts, says "Come Back to Me" was #12 on January 2007. See this link. You can find the same information on aCharts.com (see: "Peak positions" column) and on Lescharts.com, with the same chart trajectory. However, the IP user added #15 as peak position. See : this edit. As it was probably a mistake of the IP (he has mixed up the two colums "Entry positions" and "Peak positions"), I think it was not a vandalism of his part, but changes made with good faith. And it's probably the same thing in your case. Sorry. (Nevertheless these chart positions must be corrected). Sincerely. PS: Sorry for my bad English, and if you want, I will correct the chart positions and add references! Europe22 (talk) 22:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

For this. henriktalk 14:30, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah. I was too quick on the block button there. A second later I came to the same conclusion as you, it wasn't really malicious edits.

Fantasy userpages

[edit]

Regarding the userpages, if the user is making constructive edits in the encyclopedia, then I'm willing to let them have a little latitude with their user pages. The ones I get on are the ones where their only edits are to their userpage. I saw a user today who was using his user talk page as a blog, and that's explicitly covered under WP:NOT. There's another one I watch who tends to use his userpage for some kind of classroom Survivor standings page; I think one of those pages was sent to MfD. Again, it was once it got to be that he wasn't editing the encyclopedia but was here just for the tracker thing. —C.Fred (talk) 02:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rationale for warning

[edit]

Hey, thanks for pointing it out. I wasn't aware that the user had already been listed at WP:AIV, and had added my warning as a last one before a block was necessary. The warning your provided stated further edits may result in a block, while the one I provided, was a last resort with will block. Additionally, it looks like the user has stopped editing so a block is not necessary. However, if any additional edits the user has are not constructive, then he would qualify for being blocked. If you see that the user does so, I'd say post it again or WP:AIV or let me know and I'll block him. Let me know if you need further clarification and happy editing! --Nehrams2020 (talk) 03:28, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Independent (album) AfD

I have amended your AfD nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss Independent (album) by adding a second, related article. American Side is the alleged first single off the album.

You've been blocked 24 hours and I've removed your rollback rights, you can ask for them back later, for using rollback in an edit war, on Breakout (album). Rollback should only be used to rv vandalism and similar edits. Having it means you can be trusted with it and using it in an edit war is abuse of it on both counts.

RE: ANI, AIV, acronyms unite

[edit]

Hey there! I'm glad we have a chance to talk, because I think you misunderstand the issue. It's not that everyone has a desire to discuss things (though I certainly prefer that route), but rather, at that time, I and another administrator did not see reasonable grounds to block Jdxboom. Some administrators probably would've issued a block, but only the trigger-happy ones. This way, we got to see if he was truly going to make an issue of this; then he was blocked. So you see, it's not an issue of too much discussion, but rather just the time which you reported him at.
P.S. Since you're blocked, it's fine if you reply here. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 00:37, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I didn't understand the nature of it I guess; I glanced at the contributions list and didn't see any reason for concern. My apologies, this is truly a one-in-a-million mistake. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 01:31, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lindsay Lohan

[edit]

I'm still skeptical about things being sourced from MySpace on this article, but that wasn't, and isn't, the fundamental issue. The issue is, as they have it, there is no source given for the statements about Lohan calling Palin homophobic and anti-environmentalist. That is a rather large WP:BLP issue. There are sources given at a later, relatively innocuous statement that Lohan criticized media coverage and urged voting for Obama. That isn't much of a WP:BLP issue. It goes much further than MySpace good or MySpace bad. It's a liability as it is in the link above. Wildhartlivie (talk) 07:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for alerting me about this. I knew that revealing personally identifiable information is bad, especially on a place like Wikipedia, so I used the template in question. When I saw how it was worded, I wanted to try and clear it up as best as I could. Guess it didn't make too much sense, but thanks for helping.

Hi Kevin, so as background I spent a lot of the first five-six months of 2007 "in the trenches" at AFD and I often came away not very happy about the project. I was never involved in many fiction AFDs, that I can recall. The thing about Bulbasaur is that it always seemed impossible to even find this sort of article unless you were looking for the information in it. But for reasons that I don't comprehend, these articles instill not just passion but rage. And it spilled over into this horrid war. The highly-partisan notability wars left a very bitter taste in my mouth. TTN could do no wrong. LGRdC could do no right. All the socking made me ill. I remember Jack Merridew was a nice guy to me, even helped me fix up my user page, but when it was revealed he was a sockpuppet, virtually none of the editors who had fought on Jack's side apologized to the editor who exposed the sockpuppetry. The uninvolved admin who brought it to the noticeboards was also savaged without apology, as I recall. (I seem to remember you were one of the fair-minded ones in this, but the episode illustrated to me how ridiculous the partisanship had gotten.) When I saw your name at RFA I remembered the months of bitterness. I looked through your Wikipedia and Wikipedia Talk edits for the last couple months, and saw that a huge number of them were still around these issues. Mostly the RFC and TTN, true. I'll be honest, I didn't consider that the RFC is very much disengaged from the day-to-day trenches, and I think it's a fair point. But the first diff of yours I clicked on was one where Phil Sandifer said he felt like his proposal was getting a toxic reception and your one line response was that the only toxicity was coming from Phil. It looked like more of that horns-locked, bitter and unproductive partisanship to me. --JayHenry (talk) 16:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need help on Natalee nomination

[edit]

I left the below on AuburnPilot's talk page, however he emailed me from his blackberry that his internet is down. Can you manage it? The vacancy will occur sometime between now and midnight Greenwich (I think 9 pm your time). Usually, Raul puts it in later in the day, within a couple of hours of the witching hour. I'm using a computer in a public library in England, and odds are I won't be on when it happens. If worst comes to worst, there's another vacancy when the Oct 9 article clears. Anyway, here is what I wrote him:

  • I suggest that we nominate as soon as Raul schedules October 3. For the quickest word, I suggest watching [1]here. Then replace noitulovE with the code you will find in my sandbox (there is a link at the bottom of my user page). Nominate on behalf of Kww or yourself and claim 5 points. I am in Europe right now with limited internet access or I would do it myself. If we don't, I think the Grand Prix article will be nominated and we will have to replace the fairly popular U.S.S. New Jersey, which could lead to spite opposes.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:Ilikestella

[edit]

Understood, but to me this is someone who clearly has no regard for any policies whatsoever and ignores any communication left on his talk page. Note he was blocked for 48 hours because of the Brazil information he kept adding to music articles, then once his block expired he went right to a discography page and added Brazil. Aside from the bunch of "got milk?" images he uploaded, his Talk Page is filled with prior image copyright problem templates. I certainly don't expect editors to have every Wikipedia policy memorized, but this editor in particular has been around for months and obviously doesn't care to at least read the page(s) about image use. - eo (talk) 11:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't even worry about it - RfAs are tough and rather flawed in my opinion, but there ya go. We just have different approaches to how we would have handled this editor and that's fine. I just feel that it is extremely unfair when a specific editor constantly requires other people to clean up after them, especially if s/he makes no effort to learn how to do it correctly... whether they read guidelines or just reach out to someone to ask for help.
Anyhoo, if your RfA doesn't pass just take in all the comments, process it and go for it again in a few months. - eo (talk) 12:18, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pedrovip's images

[edit]

I'm inclined to agree about the images, especially the Headstrong one. The only way I can see him claiming copyright is if he did the mashup, but even then, there are underlying rights held by the label, so the image isn't usable. I think you're on the right track, giving him a few more days to see how (if) he responds. I don't remember MSoldi's edit history off the top of my head, but I certainly agree that this isn't new behaviour. —C.Fred (talk) 01:43, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A thought

[edit]

Words have value in context. Please allow me to remind you of the number of supporters your RfA thread did attract. It would be easy to over-value those critical or neutral observations in this context. Your evaluation of constructive criticism needs to remain balanced. You shouldn't under-value the judgment of those who were favorably impressed. --Tenmei

Responding to your subtle and familiar choice of words in the best of all possible worlds: See this link to Bernstein's 70th birthday frolic -- Christa Ludwig sings "I am so easily assimilated." In my view, the best part of this YouTube excerpt is the enthusiastic delight of Bernstein himself at the end of the clip; and perhaps this becomes a good context in which to remind you that Candide was not at all well-received when the operetta first appeared on Broadway in 1956. --Tenmei (talk) 14:36, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry it worked out that way. It is true though, that you will be more knowledgeable and experienced in 6 months time. It will also give you time to clarify how you feel about things. In any consensus based discussion, make sure all you write is firmly based in the polices and guidelines. Take time to help you users. A firebrand or zealot, however well-intentioned, is more likely to abuse the tools than someone who is patient with newbie mistakes, who looks to improve rather than delete, looks to buid/expand rather than fault find.

Re: double redirect elimination

[edit]

Oh, all right, that makes absolute sense. I think I came to the page through a link, so I experienced the double redirect firsthand. Next time I'll fix all incoming links to the correct capitalization, that's something I should have done anyway. If there's no incoming links, the only thing left is that the search box ATM directs you to If I Were A Boy if you enter "if i were a boy", so a reader would still drop out at the double redirect.
I kinda wonder, that's just another case where multi-redirects would be very useful if they were supported by the software. I can't imagine that implementing them in MediaWiki is that hard, or taxing …

[edit]

I'm not sure RFPP is the way to go as page protection might be overkill. But I do think a "Articles for Redirect" or using AfD to discuss redirects would be good. The thing I'd want is someplace to discuss them that either the person doing the redirect or the person wanting the redirect undone could go to. As it stands the "redirector" can go to AfD (and TNN is doing that all the time) but the other side of the discussion can't do anything other than edit war. So any solution that both sides can use would be great by me. AfD isn't that, and shouldn't be used for that IMO. If it became "articles for discussion" as some have proposed that would work, but I think it needs to be something like "Articles status as delete, redirect,or keep". I'd be fine with page protection if it was needed for a redirect as long as there was a clear way to get that protection removed if it could be shown new things had happened or guidelines were otherwise met.

Good thoughts, and good discussion. Thanks. Hobit (talk) 02:38, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Marliesposter.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Stifle (talk) 09:34, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm confused as to why you rejected my fair use claim. The girl is missing and presumed dead by the police. Although technically she is still a "living person", this problem seems sufficient to permit fair use of the image. The article in which the picture is used makes specific reference to the poster, as well. Or is this just a problem with me filling out forms incorrectly?—Kww(talk) 11:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a reasonable fair use image, but you need to add an appropriate image tag as well. {{non-free fair use in|Marlies van der Kouwe}} will probably do it, but WP:TAGS/FU has a full list. Stifle (talk) 12:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now she has done all her impressions on MADtv since she first came on the series, and too me it is a slap in the face...because it makes no since because you have Mo Collins, Stephnie Weir, Michael McDonald, Aries Spears, Etc who all have Impressions on there list so can you please just not focus one person when there are allot other talents...no offense but your basically saying Nicole Parker impressions are not out there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madtv12 (talkcontribs) 01:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of reactions of Danity Kane breakup

[edit]

As I stated on the other editor's talk page who removed the fan reactions, your removal of the reactions by fans simply because they are fan opinions is unwarranted. I could see if these reactions were a lot or were not sourced, or both, and do not enhance the article, but they are not a lot, are sourced (with valid sources) and do enhance the article. Not to mention that I made sure to word the reactions in an encyclopedic manner. There is no Wikipedia policy that states such reactions cannot be included. There are plenty of articles on Wikipedia, including Good and Featured articles, that have fan reaction information.

If you would rather I not include the exact quotes, and instead relay what fans thought in my own wording, like I did with a bit of the reaction some fans have had to Dawn Angelique Richard in regards to the Danity Kane's breakup, then I am fine with that. But information on what fans think is absolutely allowed. Flyer22 (talk) 19:38, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What Wikipedia's Not, "Not a Forum"

[edit]

I'm posting here. This doesn't belong on the main page if I'm going to discuss my specific case, but you're a good detective. Thanks for paying attention. You saw what spurred my interest in this particular topic of discussion. The user in question who edited my remarks in a talk page has been a very busy beaver. I know he's asked my permission subsequently to edit my remarks, but I'm not so certain he's ever found it necessary in previous cases.

His overbearing edits made me curious. Upon examining the edit history of changes he's made attributed to "not a forum" (which are numerous) very many of which are on talk pages and some user pages. I do not have the experience to determine how justified these edits are. All I can say is that they had the effect of scaring me and shocking me.

In one case, he had gone into a user's space that was being used to work on a Wikipedia page and took away the entire page. Again, I am not knowledgeable enough in these matters to say how this could have been justified. All I can say is that I cannot see how someone could ever be justified going into someone's personal workspace that is being used to work on a Wikipedia page, summarize "not a forum" and take out all of that person's work. I'm not actually complaining at this point, I am just absolutely bewildered about this situation. --VictorC (talk) 05:47, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Ahh... okay, I should have assumed there was history there. I was in the States the whole time, but I assumed since it basically became an international incident, nearly leading to trade sanctions, etc., that most informed Europeans would be aware of it. I saw on his user page that he was from Spain and thought he possibly just wasn't aware of the significance of the whole Holloway story. Thanks for the heads up.

Use of album covers -- Danity Kane article

[edit]

If album covers can only be used in articles about the albums, then why would Wikipedia have these options when you upload an album cover?

Options:

How will the album/single cover be used in Wikipedia?

  • in an infobox about the album/single.
  • in a header at the top of the article about the album/single.
  • in a section devoted to the album/single.
  • in an article about the album/single's artist, used to identify the artist's work.
  • for some other use.
You see? I was going for option #3. Although I was not for both album covers being within the article. A different editor had recently added the second album cover. But having the first album cover...I feel is an enhancement to the article's readability, seeing as it is their debut album. Plus, it is in the section about the album. Flyer22 (talk) 00:05, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Besides that, I provided a fair-use rationale for that second use to go along with the fair use rationale for its first use. Flyer22 (talk) 00:10, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Responded on may talk page, of course. Remember that I only want to use one album cover in this article, their debut one, when you list this issue at NFCC. Flyer22 (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Montage images as navigational elements

[edit]

At least five administrators (User:Coren, User:Edokter, User:Fish and karate, and User:SoWhy) disagree with your application of that guideline. Please, read the discussion at Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2008_October_23#Image:Companions.jpg before reverting again. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 13:53, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No. You're oversimplifying my position, again. I agree that a serious reexamination of exactly how much fair use is "minimal" is appropriate, but you are being repeatedly pointy in trying to impose your own position on the matter. You might want to note that you score very few points by building up strawmen to knock down. I've commented on the image debate as well. — Coren (talk) 18:46, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not misrepresent my opinion. As each image is unique in it's application, you cannot simply transpond my arguments for the Companions image to the Cheeta Girls image. EdokterTalk 20:04, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • To both Coren and Edokter; I mispresented nothing. Both of you are in support of fair use images as navigational elements. That's what I was reiterating. Regardless, it's a moot point.

Well all i did was move the images to my computer and save as a bitmap to gain a higher resolution but when I tried to upload it here that format was not accepted, so I used a program to turn it into a Jpeg, I dont know why but that infos about the camera model and etc disapeared.

When I changed the format the images were all duplicated and I probably deleted the original ones or at least some of them. Im new here and when i was uploading the photo I was asked to put a copyright tag, but it has no copyrights! Its just a photo taken during a live concert, one can even see that the quality is not that good too.--WalaCce (talk) 17:26, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Singles, songs and music videos

[edit]

Were disputes over what qualified for singles, songs and music videos ever get resolved? I think it's a stretch saying someone singing some silly song on some show satisfied specs for a music video. Gimmetrow 18:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not aware of any broad consensus on the topic. Can you be specific as to what performance you don't think qualifies?—Kww(talk) 18:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To be specific, "Really Great" is performed in character (poor singing voice) to the melody of "London bridge is falling down". I also find it very odd to think adding a soundtrack to a movie clip makes a "music video". Gimmetrow 18:58, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'll support you that in-character performances don't count. As for soundtrack addition: if they just take a 2:30 second section of a show and run a song in the background, I would argue that that isn't a video. If they take a song and build a clip montage over it, I think it probably would count.—Kww(talk) 19:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

That's alright - I "go by the book" simply because I then don't have to make value judgements, but I have no problem if an admin takes a different view. I noted that one report hadn't vandalised since the final warning, and then checked it again with a view to removing it, found they had resumed vandalising after my comment was made - so I blocked them for 31 hours... In the end, we all work to the benefit of the encyclopedia. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:41, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect that if there was a "separate book" for death hoaxes then the number of such incidents will increase; there is nothing better a troll likes than being noticed. A death hoax is vandalism as much as "is a poopy" stuff - warn 'em, report 'em, and clear up the mess they made. I have a fairly standard blocking notice for vandals, "X hours standard vandalism block", to try and cut down on any thrill they get for being found out. It comes down to personal approaches, and this is mine. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dd deluxe.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Dd deluxe.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brandy Article Reply

[edit]
Just In Case You Don't Get Back To The Article, I Decided To Post My Reply Here. I Hope You Don't Mind. And I Took Out The Bold & Spaces In The Sentences For You.

Firstly, What I Meant Was To Rename It "Brandy (entertainer)" Instead Of "Brandy Norwood", My Mistake For Forgetting To State That Part. Simply Because According To Wikipeda & I Quote "...use the most common name of a person or thing..." Basically The Most Recognizable Name. I See What You Were Saying Too. "...that does not conflict with the names of other people or things...". That's Why I Meant "Brandy (entertainer)" I Searched That Title & It Does Not Exist Or Redirect Anywhere. I Also Checked "Brandy Disambiguation" Just To Make Sure.

Brandy Is Not Only The Name People Know Her By But It's Also The Name She Uses Professionally As A Singer (On Her Albums) & Actress (Movies & TV Shows)

Secondly, Calling Her "Norwood" Throughout The Article Makes Sense, I Apparently Wasn't Fully Awake When I Made That Edit (lol)

(This discussion is in connection with changes made to Wish You Were Here (album)) I'll leave your latest revert as is, but some comments as to why another user probably reverted your change, and I did it as well: It's a little confusing to point to a list of depreciated charts when the site name is not the same as the chart name, especially since part of that list deals with site names (URLs). It's also confusing that the site name is something that you intend to add to the list, but are already deleting entries before completing that task. It's also confusing that the depreciated list appears to be a list of articles that have been deleted, with the presumption that if the article is gone, that automatically blacklists the chart, and I don't see that as being necessarily so. It seems to me that charts, websites, and WP articles about charts and/or websites are three different things, and are being confusingly meshed together. I also wonder if the arguments against these charts, as presented in the article deletion logs, apply to the site or collection of charts as a whole, or just portions of it, and other portions might be reliable. I note that the depreciated chart list describes it as "United World Chart/Global Top 40 Albums" which could mean only a list of top 40 albums is in dispute (which is not the particular list being removed as a reference in the Wish You Were Here article). Hopefully these issues can be cleared up, otherwise deletions like this are going to be contested. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 16:54, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion was at Wikipedia talk:Record charts#Deprecated charts, and the consensus was that all those charts were to be deleted. The text we are talking about says "The album sold 21 million copies worldwide.<ref name=mediatr>[http://www.mediatraffic.de/alltime-album-chart.htm United World Chart, last update in 2007]</ref>. I don't know how much clearer a reference to the United World Chart can be. The reason I do this work before getting it on the spam blacklist is that it's confusing to people. They make another change in the article, and then can't save it because it contains the blacklisted URL. If I get all references out of article space first, that doesn't happen.—Kww(talk) 17:01, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't notice one issue: "Global Top 40" is a mirror of the UWC album chart. I'll see if I can make that clearer in the listing.—Kww(talk) 17:04, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Popsinger

[edit]

Hello,

I restored his 'bogus article' per this edit. The user didn't know how to restore it from the history, and you can see I unblocked him, here an administrator had told me to write an article, or expand one per this edit if he wished to be unbanned, so I felt that he should be allowed to edit his user talk.

[edit]

Can I get your opinion on something? Honestly, tell me if I'm overstepping here... I'm kind of in a disagreement with User:Alextwa because s/he feels that an album review from The Times does not belong in the Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits article. Basically, he keeps removing it; I keep putting it back. His claim is that the album review is "too short" and "not detailed enough". I realize it's not a pages-long review, but my argument is that The Times is a very reputable publication and the review's length should not matter — this is not a blog we're talking about here. There is a discussion on the album's Talk Page, if you want to chime in. This is not a huge deal, I just want some fresh eyes on it in case I'm being ridiculous. Thanks. - eo (talk) 12:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please, stop vandalizing the article Enjoy the Ride (song). There are many, many other song articles which haven't charted in any of the charts and are still separated atricles, so I don't understand why you keep wanting Enjoy the Ride not to be a separated article.

[edit]

Hi i am Tau'ri278, I am from the Stargate Wikia and we just had a problem with someone whos name was 'Kwwsucks' and we assumed he had a run-in with you. Have you had any problems here with anyone of that name? or anyone at all? This guy/girl seems like they just want attention and are willing to vandalize pages to get it.

If you have any infromation on this please write to me on my Talk page. Thank you for the help in advance.

Thanks Kww, I looked into it and i think you might be correct in assuming this leonhart/zbeeblebrocks guy. I will inform some people at Stargate Wikia about him, I don't know if he has changed as it looks like he did here or if maybe a younger sibling or idiotic friend got the same idea. Oh well, thank you and we will continue to have our eyes out on his progress.

I don't have a problem with your edits, but your comments such as "it's simply copyright violation on a massive scale." are incorrect. LyricWiki actually does pay royalties.

Image for deletion discussion you should know about

You removed a large section from The_View_from_Here. Your initial comment was something to the effect that an improper attribution was supplied; however, you didn't bother to provide any guidance on how to cite the text you deleted. Rather than simply vent your spleen by deleting things, please make an actual contribution to Wikipedia by assisting with creation of an appropriate citation.

Yes, it's definitely useful. Just one question: why is the word "Ultratop" everywhere? I also didn't quite figure out what each symbol means; perhaps an explanatory legend could help.

Are you sure about Ultratop operating the other sites? I thought SwissCharts.com did so. Anyhow, I thought it might be a good idea to use the link names, such as 'LesCharts.com', 'ItalianCharts.com', and so on, so as to avoid any possible confusion—it's just a thought.

Independent sourcing for Elements of Fiction

[edit]

I believe you have expressed the opinion that current draft of WP:FICT is too lax on the grounds that independent sources are required to demonstrate that an element of fiction is in some way notable. Instead, could you accept the arguement that an element of fiction that is the subject of substantial real-world coverage from a reliable source could demonstrate notability at some point in the future? It would not be unreasonable to assume that if there is good quality coverage from sources that are not independent, then an element of fiction may be important enough for independent commentators to write about it as well. If you agree this may be the case, then perhaps we can compromise on the current draft of WP:FICT, and this guideline can be rolled out for community approval. I feel agreement on this version is close, so I would be grateful if you could give serious consideration to making you willingness to compromise on this point at WT:FICT. --Gavin Collins (talk) 10:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HAPPY New YEAR!!!
As I commence on my annual New Years ritual of cleaning out all the junk in my room ( I tend to be a pack rat) I realized I have more than just materials to clear out before 09. I have lots of emotions both good and bad that need to be put in their proper place. Many of you gave me great memories and pictures, scrap books, and letters and bottles of patron, lol, that I got caught up reminiscing for hours on my bedroom floor. I re-lived moments, remembered some of my favorite fans, wondered how they were doing and how they feel about the changes that are taking place. In these last two years I've experienced some great accomplishments but also some of the deepest depression and unhappiness I've experienced in my life. Going through the pictures I remembered how hard the fight was to look that happy for our fans. replayed all the different issues going on under that top layer that was presented to the public. And how getting those reactions and letters was the only way I could do it again in the next city. Our blessing sometime come in disguise, so being fired doesnt always mean what you think.
I know there's probably no way I can really make you understand, but what I found you guys understood about me in the things you wrote to me is "you seem very honest, down to earth, and real". You guys always asked me to keep it real and stay true to myself, so I hope you understand I am doing just that, and to continue the way I was I'd have to do the opposite. You won't see me on whatever the next installment of MTB will end up being or a apart of what DK will become, but when you do see me next there will be no doubt that I'm doing just fine! (In mary j blige voice lol) you guys will recognize this representation of D.Woods from the split second glimpses I was able to show over the past two years, I hope yall will stay down and continue to support. Happy New Year!
PS...shout out to Carlos from d.woods web, anthony from the Bay, and imelda from Ireland, and all yall I can't name cuz there's too many! Xoxoxoxo

Don't forget WP:GNG

[edit]

In the AfD for Get On Your Boots you state the article should be protected against recreation until its release date as that is the earliest it could chart. However, this doesn't take count of the general notability guideline which any article can meet (and this one does) at any time. Given that this is U2's first proper single for a while it is obviously getting coverage in reliable sources which a quick google news search shows. --JD554 (talk) 09:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Then surely GNG would say that. --JD554 (talk) 11:31, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think it works perfectly well this way. The SNG's are wikiproject driven and give guidelines about what probably meets the criteria for notability, whereas the GNG gives general guidelines which may pick up things which don't meet the specific ones. Seems sensible to me, but I suspect we'll end up agreeing to disagree. By the way, I wasn't trying to ruin your day, at the moment I've got clear blue skies and the sun streaming in through the window warming my back and I'm looking at what's remaining of the snow on the ground.

RE: Can I get both of you to cease reverting for a while?

[edit]

I accept your comments as done in good faith. I don't doubt that you want what is best for the article. But I think if you honestly compare my edits, reverts, etc. to those of ABH, there is a vast difference between the two. Although I don't think you intended this, I think you message to ABH and me will inspire ABH to ignore any legitimate reverts or warnings I make. That's his style. But again, I respect what you say and I don't mean any of this to be a personal attack on you. I can take the high road and stay away from ABH for a while. But since you have volunteered, I hope you'll do what needs to be done about a problem editor who, although at times well-intentioned, clearly does not understand Wikipedia and often makes no effort to learn.

My Life Would Suck Without You

[edit]

Hi
You'd really have them drag that one through DRV? That seems like a waste, too. Typically, if the reasoning behind a deletion debate changes significantly enough, I'd always think that the history can be more ore less ignored. The question that remains in this case is whether it already has with the release, or if it clearly needs to pass WP:NSONGS.
Sorry that I'm leaving you alone in that debate, but it doesn't quite seem worth it; if someone wants to work on it in earnest and not just post the typical two liner then he has my blessing, it can always be redirected or brought to AfD again in a week if it doesn't chart.

However, I just feel this entire process was a bit of a waste of time, since this article IS going to keep re-appearing and several people DID maintain that the single was notable. Now I don't even know where to work on the article, since people keep messing with the logs, talk pages, etc. Perhaps someone will just have to start from scratch (again) in a few days. Thanks again for the note. -Whataworld06 (talk) 22:37, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It's at User talk:Cameron Scott/My Life Would Suck Without You now if you've lost track of it, no need to start from scratch. :) --Amalthea 22:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

First, if you haven't already, I'd suggest reading the footnotes to WP:BIO. There you will notice part of the purpose of some of those "sub" parts (i.e. how NSONGS is a sub of MUSIC). Part of the purpose of these "auto include" parts is to ensure coverage across the political spectrum and throughout history for like topics. But it also talks about how these people likely do have sources out there that would eventually allow for these people to pass the general N guideline. This helps address the issue with recentism of content. Most media produced in the world in the history of time is not available online, and large chunks that are online are only available via paid access. This means that say a song from 1959 that charted in 1959 could be included under the SNG guidelines (assuming a source for that is located), even though it could fail the GNG (a Top 40 chart does not provide substantial coverage to pass under N). And the song fails the GNG mainly because the content is not easily accessible. In essence the SNG guidelines are developed to help people determine what is notable in the absence of notability via N. They are designed to be more inclusive, not exclusive as each states at the top of each of these notability sub guidelines. As to forbid, it doesn't forbid any other than those that already fail N. Its more the other way around. And V (if proper applied) will kick out anything else as unsourced. Hopefully that helps. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:43, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Boldness

[edit]

Bold does have its limits. On the other hand, I confess, I'm surprised to see you back in the guideline discussion. After nearly 48 hours without you contributing to any of the major threads on the talk page, I had assumed you had abandoned the discussion.

My hope, of course, is that by the time you read this you will have already posted something to the talk page indicating a better sense of how you can be persuaded that this is the best compromise available and that it has consensus, or that you will finally present the much-awaited example of an article that would be wrongly kept under this guideline.

Don't change my comments

[edit]

You have neither disappeared nor vanished, and if there was any credible threat to you or anyone else, you wouldn't edit under any name at all. Do not take it upon yourself to change the contents of my statements at any time.—Kww(talk) 20:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do not refer to renamed users by their old usernames. Doing so is incivil and unnecessary. It adds nothing to constructive discussions. --A NobodyMy talk 20:33, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kww. When you get a chance, would you mind looking at my comments at Talk:Labor Pains#Release date? If you agree perhaps you could make a change. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 22:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another one

[edit]

Sorry to bother again, but could you take a look at Talk:A Little More Personal (Raw)#WP:CRYSTAL and see if any action is needed. I've also just created three sections on Talk:Lindsay Lohan that you might want to take a look at. Thanks. Ward3001 (talk) 16:24, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS

[edit]

I think I was reading an old revision (when I last read the guideline closely) that didn't include the bolded phrase in the lede. However, it seems to have been bolded in the "nutshell" since before I got here. That's really very odd because I can remember a few dozen AfD discussions which would have been easier (maybe) if I had just said "RS==independent" and linked to that part of the guideline. Hmm.

TLC

[edit]

Hi. Just to let you know, you restored some content I fixed here on the TLC article. After reading WP:BADCHARTS, I'm guessing you wanted to remove the content about the United World Charts which falls under that policy. I went ahead and rolled back your edit because it added some inaccuracies (TLC has only won four Grammys, not five), an incorrectly formatted reference to a fansite of all things, and a wonky version of the awards chart that some IP tinkered with. I did however manually remove the United World Charts content per WP:BADCHARTS. Pinkadelica Say it... 01:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

support for fiction

[edit]

I want to tell you that it is your somewhat unexpected support which at the last minute has caused me to also support the new WP:FICT. A good compromise is something that neither side really likes, but would prefer to the alternative of continued fighting and risk of total loss. What of course I will continue to defend is full and detailed content, whether merged or separate. DGG (talk) 03:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion?

[edit]

What is your opinion on the notability of American Idol Hot 100 singles? It was just created on 20 January; quite frankly I was about to nominate it at WP:AfD but thought I'd get another opinion beforehand in case I was being a bit too critical. Seems too AI fangush-y to me. - eo (talk) 21:31, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I didn't notice it was started in 2008 - a year ago - still not sure of its relevance. Thoughts? - eo (talk) 21:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I went ahead and nominated it - apparently it was nearly deleted before. Chime in if you feel like it, we'll see how this one goes, either way: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/American Idol Hot 100 singles (2nd nomination). Later - eo (talk) 23:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have made some changes to American Idol Hot 100 singles and since you voted Delete in the AfD, I would appreciate you looking at the article and telling me what you think. Aspects (talk) 19:57, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alis.Payan: contributions from the range

[edit]

Hello Kww. At ANI you mentioned going through the last 100,000 edits to find anon contributions by this editor, so you may not have seen the CIDR gadget yet. The option is called: Allow /16 and /24 – /32 CIDR ranges on Special:Contributions forms.

When I checked Special:Contributions/200.88.94.0/24 I found hundreds of edits to show-business articles, so most likely they are all Alis.Payan. There were some scientific-looking edits from 2007 and earlier, but very few.

The block log for this range shows that the last previous block was only a softblock, but I agree with you that a 6-month hardblock is worth doing if checkuser approves it. EdJohnston (talk) 14:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neuro emotional technique

[edit]

Hi I am the original poster, and was wondering what you didn't like about my research? I spent a lot of time and effort into it, only to find it keeps getting deleted. I thought encyclopedia articles were supposed to be explanatory as opposed to a paragraph or two. If you are familiar wit Neuro Emotional Technique and have better background knowledge of it, I would love to talk with you and perhaps we can come up with a better post. Please contact me if you would like to do so, as I think it might make for a post that we would both be happy with.

an elaboration on that "good article" bit

Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(fiction)#Good_article_status

I get the feeling like my proposed change isn't much different from the previous wording that wasn't acceptable to you and Gavin (I was gone for that debate and I can't be arsed to dig through the archives). Can you drop by and take a look at it. GG seems to be pushing back against the GA thing and it is a battle I'm not interested in fighting if we don't actually mean GA status, but rather "this article could never possibly be improved from a permastub without huge masses of PLOT info", then we should probably yield a bit.

With respects inre this edit diff, The cast listing at IMDB for this completed film lists Allison Liddi as director[5]. It also shows she is also know as Allison Liddi-Brown[6]. While certainly IMDB has credibility problems in many areas, consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films accepts their cast listings as reliable once a film has been completed. The listings in the provided New York Times source also confirms Allison Liddi-Brown as director[7], so we have confirmation and further verification. Further, the cast listing at IMDB[8] and at the New York Times[9] both WP:Verify the information. Since neither is a primary source and the information is not controversial or inflamatory, with respects I will be returning it and show it as attributed to the Times. Good catch.

I'm curious as to your standard of evidence. The image is clearly a screenshot from a Spongebob Squarepants, and "Mr Krabs" is the name of a character in Spongebob Squarepants.
