Re: '90210' characters

Hi. Thanks for coming to me. Actually, per WP:N, those pages shouldn't exist as individual articles. Kelly's article is an exception because of all the notability it demonstrates (over 50 sources I believe). Information on the other characters can still be found on the List of Beverly Hills, 90210 characters page. Cheers. -- James26 (talk) 04:14, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not familiar with the Charmed character but she probably shouldn't have an article unless she's notable. Anyway, as you may already know, notability basically means that a subject has gotten a good deal of attention from real-world sources. It doesn't matter if Donna is notable in the shows; she has to be notable outside of them to have her own Wikipedia article. Several fictional characters aren't independently notable, which is why they don't have their own articles.

However, that's why there are fan wikis around. You're welcome to check out the Donna Martin page on 90210pedia and expand that, or any other, if you'd like (just be sure you're typing carefully and following the guidelines). Cheers. -- James26 (talk) 04:22, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's cool. However, Wikia is currently run by a bunch of immoral and insensitive content thieves who've drawn much criticism lately, so while I'm not trying to tell you where to edit, I can give you advice on where not to: there. The company isn't deserving of the time or effort, but how you spend your time is, of course, completely up to you. Gotta go. Happy editing here. -- James26 (talk) 05:40, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

90210 characters

Please do not remove pages without a valid reason. The "Teddy Montgomery" page is allowed because there is significant media coverage and third-party sources supporting it. Jayy008 (talk) 16:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Those statements have nothing to do with 90210 itself. You removed a page without a reason, so I changed it. Regarding what you say about the original characters, only Kelly Taylor has her own page as it has significant media coverage and it's from her time on the original series with a small section of 90210 added in. Annie doesn't have her own page because nobody has taken the task of creating it up to guidelines. See Naomi Clark for a perfect example of how Annie Wilson should look like if a page were made. Jayy008 (talk) 20:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There might not be any information around. There's a lot of work involved in making a page good. It has nothing to do with who's a "bigger" character. Jayy008 (talk) 15:12, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The page isn't notable enough, uploading an image would be pointless as it will be deleted soon. Jayy008 (talk) 12:28, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Which Silver page are you referring? And you can't just change the colors as you please. Jayy008 (talk) 15:31, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Donna Martin

Hi. Once again, the Donna Martin article is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Also, I noticed that the article is basically lifted from Wikia, and you are not allowed to copy and paste large chunks of text from other Websites into articles here. Please stop creating this article; it is not appropriate for Wikipedia, and the original version can exist elsewhere. -- James26 (talk) 00:09, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The same goes for Erin Silver, Annie Wilson, and other characters without significant notability. -- James26 (talk) 00:21, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Left4Deadseries FAN,
apparently you have ignored the above message and restored the page content recently, without discussion.
Wikipedia is a collaborative project; while bold editing is encouraged, differences of opinion must be resolved through discussion and consensus. James26 has brought forward policy- and guideline-based arguments that support a redirect; if you disagree, explain your reasoning – ignoring his view and trying to get ones way through persistence is disruptive WP:edit warring.
I would recommend to hold the discussion about the future of that article at Talk:Donna Martin so that other interested editors can participate as well.
OK?
Regards, Amalthea 14:38, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The same goes for Sophie-Anne Leclerq and other pages as well: If you undo changes made by other editors, the very least you must do is leave an explanation in the edit summary. If the disagreement can't be resolved through an edit summary, discuss the change! We all want to make this encyclopedia as good and useful as it can be. That can only be achieved if we set up guidelines defining "good" and "useful", and all try to abide by them. If you think those guidelines are incorrect, you can try and change them. But ignoring them will only lead to problems. Amalthea 14:43, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You and your IPs will be reported to administrators if you do not stop ignoring policy. -- James26 (talk) 05:14, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Jessica

Sorry, I'm not familiar with that character or where pictures may be found. You can try uploading if you know the proper policies and procedures. -- James26 (talk) 08:31, 26 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with upload file DevonSawaFD5premjpg

Well thank you but to be honest I dont know the information. I took the image from the Final Destination wiki. I uploaded the image on my laptop and the went to wikipedia and uploaded the image. So technically the picture is mine (I think). That is all I know. If it doesn't help I am very sorry. Left4Deadseries FAN (talk) 16:19, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you didn't create the image, you certainly can't claim it as your own. In general, if you don't know basic information about an image such as who created it and when, you shouldn't upload it to Wikipedia. --Carnildo (talk) 23:00, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

character pages

How many times do you need telling? If you persist in removing redirects without the intention of clearing up the pages, I will send a warning. Jayy008 (talk) 18:00, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's childish. It's not what I want. A page needs to be notable for inclusion and have content in it to merit its own article. See Blair Waldorf for an example of what it needs to be like. Jayy008 (talk) 18:04, 13 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I do, but it's very difficult to get pages like that. I'm currently working one the One Tree Hill articles. Nathan Scott for example. So if you can show you're working on it, I won't revert it. It's not the references. It needs a background/creation section, much larger reception and development. Needs cast interviews, creator interviews, producer interviews etc. The ideas behind the character, all sourced. Naomi Clark is another good example.

License tagging for File:Sallyhiding.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Sallyhiding.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 19:05, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sally Hardesty image

Thanks for helping me out man. I think I should also upload an image of Erin. I have to ask. If I take a picture from a page for example a picture of Michael Myers and upload it on my laptop and then upload it somewhere in wikipedia, doesn't that make it mine? Technicaly I think yes. But I whant your opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Left4Deadseries FAN (talk • contribs) 19:20, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, it doesn't make the image your own. The common term for claiming someone else's work as your own is copyright infringement. --Carnildo (talk) 02:15, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free rationale for File:NikitaS2.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NikitaS2.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Sally Hardesty

Per the notability guideline, all articles must have third-part reliable sources providing significant coverage of a topic. Merely recreating her fictional background is not enough. Additionally, per the guideline on how to write about fiction, we do not treat characters as if they are real and write about them from that perspective. More importantly, the policy on original research states that we don't introduce our own interpretations or assumptions into articles, even if we believe them to be "fact".

File source problem with File:MannySantos.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:MannySantos.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear.

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
