Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Lalah Hathaway do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings.

[edit]You might add an images subcategory to the Hathaway one - see eg Category:Pink (singer) for an example. There is a tendency to delete categories without much content. Occuli (talk) 15:00, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
Replaceable fair use Image:Queenlatifahperforming.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Queenlatifahperforming.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Σxplicit 23:16, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

- This is not an attack but a question. Why did you tag the photo. A fair rational use was already explain why the image was irreplaceable. What the point in a stupid act like that? Lovejonesfly (talk) 02:40, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
- Unfortunately Wikipedia's non-free content rules are not intuitive or obvious often. For this image, the subject (Marie Wright)) is still alive and so a free image can be taken. All images that can be replaced with a free alternative that achieves the same encyclopaedic end (in this case illustrating her biographical article) fail criteria 1 of the non-free content criteria - Peripitus (Talk) 07:27, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion discussions
[edit]Hi Lovejonesfly,
Please stop removing deletion discussions or you may be blocked from editing. The tag states clearly You are welcome to edit this file, but please do not remove this notice while the discussion is in progress. If you object to the deletion of the image, please discuss it here. Once again, I urge you to read the deletion policy and make sure you fully understand it. Papa November (talk) 14:06, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
NO
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Your recent edits were reverted back to my version. The reason is listed below,
- Album titles are not bold case
- References need to go beside Album information at the top of Albums
- References need to go beside Song at top of Singles
- Hot R&B Airplay is a component charts.[1] and does not need to be added back alongside the other charts.
So in retrospect, you might need to cut down on the Solange edits. You have edited the back on 20x in a row.[2] Also when editting a page, don't go back over again and again making minor edits to improve your contributions and preferences. When you edit, use the preview button below or go to the sandbox for testing. Lovejonesfly (talk) 13:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- DO NOT tell ME HOW TO EDIT. I HAVE PROMOTED A DISCOGRAPHY TO FEATURED LIST STATUS IN THE PAST. THE REFERENCES DO NOT GO WHERE YOU SAID. YOU ARE ACTUALLY MAKING THE PAGE WORSE. DO NOT TELL ME WHAT TO DO. Dt128, 16:21, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- I would advise you to listen. If you revert the page, it could end in your blocking. Lovejonesfly (talk) 16:39, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
- LOOK AT ANY FL DISCOGRAPHY, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT THE REFERENCES ARE PLACED IN THE CHART POSITIONS PART OF THE TABLE. IT IS NOT "YOUR" DISCOGRAPHY. Dt128

- I have nicely warned you, to not revert the page. You are now being reported for disruptive edits. Lovejonesfly (talk) 14:34, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (File:LalahHathawayBreathe.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:LalahHathawayBreathe.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Papa November (talk) 08:50, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:DaughtersofSoul.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:DaughtersofSoul.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 GFDL 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 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 in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image 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 uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Papa November (talk) 16:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Comment
[edit]The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Why are you doing this? You have absoloutley NO right as an editor of Wikipedia to go up to an article and completley break it down. DO NOT move around the references for no valid reason. DO NOT play with the tables. They are formatted in a way that it is easy for them to be read. The references are supposed to verify a certain thing. How can they do that if they are placed in a completely random place. Look at ANY featured discography article and it will look exactly the opposite to the ones that you try to create. Stop doing this, it is editors like you that give Wikipedia a bad name. If you continue to do this, I am going to report you. Stop reverting my edits, because you have NO VALID REASON to do so. Since you never reply to any of my messages, and just put them in your "archive", then how are we supposed to discuss what happens on an article. Dt128 20:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Report Me! But I don't know what you are going to report seeing how my edits are valid. But let's take a look at yours. If your edits were correct, then they wouldn't be getting reverted by Papa November and they wouldn't be nominated for deletion like the one above (AfD nomination of Jade Ewen discography), which you were involved in. So check yourself before you personally attack me again. Because I could go ahead and report now (again) for disruptive edits and personally attacking instead of reasonally contacting me. But your so quick to get angry about everything, you don't even see the fault in your own edits. It doesn't matter what other discography pages have because they could be wrong to (did you ever figure that!). I've tried to help out of good faith but you love to provoke. So go ahead and report me but it will end in your blocking. When I reported you before, the admins tried to have mercy on you, Shell babelfish and I tried to talk to you reasonable. But you still reverted the page anyway and then Papa November reverted it back to my edits and protected the page because you wanted to act up. The fact is I'm being nice and trying to fix what you've done, sometimes ref goes beside it but it really depends. Lovejonesfly (talk) 21:09, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- How are MY edits disruptive? Dt128 21:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Reverted DT128's edits off my page to this archive. Lovejonesfly (talk) 21:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH Jade Ewen discography THAT WAS DELETED BECAUSE IT WAS TOO SHORT. I WAS TRYING TO HELP THE PROJECT BY IMPROVING THE ARTICLE. DO NOT MAKE PERSONAL ATTACKS ON ME - YOU HAVE NO REASON TO. I am right to say that the way you format a discography article is wrong, BECAUSE IT IS WRONG, not because I'm being petty. STOP PUTTING THIS INTO YOUR ARCHIVE SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT THIS INSTEAD OF YOU CONTROLLING THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE RUN. Dt128 21:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

- How are MY edits disruptive? Dt128 21:13, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Note that I am only doing this because I want to help! The references go in the charts section because that is what they are referencing! They are not referencing the song title! We should be trying to make Wikipedia better, NOT worse Dt128 21:28, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- I know all about discographies, because I have made one into a featured list! Please see sense! Dt128 21:30, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- Just to clarify, I reverted the article back to before the two of you started fighting over it. I am not advocating either version. Please discuss it like adults. If you can't come to an agreement, then go to dispute resolution and ask for help. Papa November (talk) 21:33, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
- If case you haven't noticed, I have been discussing it like an adult. And once again, I can care less about the Solange Knowles disc., so do whatever with it. You can't have a dispute resolution if you and DT128 are only ones editting it. Oh yeah, we're not fighting over the page, but I did use it as an example. Now please, both of you, do me a favor and stop consulting me, I've got work to do and can't do it if you two keep interrupting me. Lovejonesfly (talk) 21:37, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
