License tagging for Image:Ninasimoneandherfriends.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ninasimoneandherfriends.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands 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. 15:12, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Moving and disambiguating pages

Please don't perform moves without thinking about them first. "Here Comes the Sun" does not need a disambiguation page. To 99%+ of readers it is a George Harrison/Beatles song. The 1% looking for a cover album by Nina Simone can be directed there by way of a dab link at the top of the Beatles article. 2-entry dab pages, where one of the entries is hugely more famous than the other, are simply not neccessary. --kingboyk 09:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

GA nom

The article on Nina Simone, which you nominated for GA-status, has been placed on hold for minor improvements by myself. Feel free to contact me with any comments or concerns. VanTucky ^(talk) 22:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your assessment request

If an article passes GA then always feel free to update the banners with that rating. There are no wikiproject-specific GA procedures so it isn't an issue with any other projects. However, if you want an A-class rating you will have to go to our A-class Review Department. Psych less 01:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Foreveryounggiftedandblack.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Foreveryounggiftedandblack.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. BetacommandBot 04:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Marlenashawwhoisthisbitchanyway.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Marlenashawwhoisthisbitchanyway.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Chowbok ☠ 21:12, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Broadway-Blues-Ballads - Nina Simone

Hello Marcel, I noticed that you've been doing a lot of work on this page. Just thought I'd point you to an interesting website that describes the history of the song "Sea Lion Woman" and lets you listen to the original performed by the Shipp sisters is 1939. I've always been fascinated by this tune, which was not originally written by Nina. Go to http://odeo.com/audio/11268763/view. A particular haunting version of the song is entitled "She Began to Lie" from the The General's Daughter soundtrack. This version uses much of the original recording from the Shipp sisters. I'm not sure that the meaning of the lyrics as described in the article is correct since the song was originally a child's folk rhyme (actually a skipping rhyme). There have been lots of theories about the lyrics, (which have been changed over the years as different artists adapted it), but even the original ladies who were recorded singing it in 1939 had no idea what the lyrics meant or for that matter, how the title should be written or pronounced (hence the controversy over the "true" pronunciation and spelling). Since the song has lots of history, a separate article about the song may be warranted. Cheers.BC (talk) 19:45, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I stand corrected. I listened to Simone's lyrics and they are indeed as you described. I assumed incorrectly that she would have used the same, traditional lyrics. It's interesting how lyrics can be embellished and changed from an innocent folk rhyme to a story about a prostitute. BC (talk) 07:44, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Brian Crawford, just wanted to say thank you for your comment on the (naming of the) song See Line Woman by Nina Simone. I was not aware of the history of the song other than the Simone version, in which it is pronounced+interpreted as told on the Broadway-Blues-Ballads page. If you have the time than please share your knowledge of the songs+titles origins on that page, or perhaps it's interesting enough to create a seperate song-page!

Request To Mr. Flaubert to use portrait of Nina

Dear Marcel, can we re-use your drawing of Nina Simone for an exhibition in Korea of Danish designer Peter Jensen's work? he used Nina as a muse for one collection, and for the credits we are illustrating each muse with drawings by admirers of each Muse.

There is no money–it's use would be non-commercial–but we would credit your drawing and request your permission in any applications.

Please let us know, Patrick Lacey for åbäke (abakesemail@gmail.com)
