Some Advice

When adding content to an article, please try to summarize main points. It's best not to have 10 different subsections when 1 would work well. Also, please try not to remove maintenance tags from an article until the problem has been addressed. Don't forget to include Reliable sources, or your content may be removed as Original Research . Also, make sure you maintain a Neuteral Point of View. Because the threshold for inclusion on wikipedia is Verifibility, not truth. And make sure to read the Manual of Style & Wikipedia's BLP Policy.

Sincerly,

Remember, as i previously stated, the threshold for inclusion is verifibility, not truth. So even if the Articles subject itself adds something to there article, if it is unsourced, it will likely be removed. As for the pictures, if you are in contact with Mr. Goodwin, i suggest asking him to release the photos into the public domain, on his website, and then we can get them on wikipedia from there. or, the other option is OTRS wich he can go on and create a permission ticket for the pictures to be used. - -' The Spook (TALK) _{(Share the Love with Barnstars)} 21:49, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

You've done good, but there's still one problem. You specified on the images that they were released into public domain, yet on the website you link as the source, there is no claim stating they've been released into the public domain, until that's resolved, that makes the images copyright violations. - -' The Spook (TALK) _{(Share the Love with Barnstars)} 21:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Also, make sure when adding references, to add them at the end of the sentence, after the period, with no space

Like this. - -' The Spook (TALK) _{(Share the Love with Barnstars)} 21:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

No Problem. I enjoy helping, it's fun. - -' The Spook (TALK) _{(Share the Love with Barnstars)} 22:11, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Overlinking, 3rr

Please only make links that are relevant to the context. Also, it's pretty hard to force your way against consensus. On John Hancock Center, both JeremyA and I have edited to reduce the overlinking, but you've restored your edits. Doing this again and again violates the three-revert rule. Please don't over link the articles, and certainly do not edit war about it. Thanks, Tom Harrison ^Talk 22:39, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. In your recent edit to CN Tower, you added links to an article which did not add content or meaning, or repeated the same link several times throughout the article. Please see Wikipedia's guideline on links to avoid overlinking. Thank you. It is not advisable to link dates, according to WP:MOSNUM Johnny Au _{(talk/contributions)} 15:36, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Spider-Man/Dan Goodwin

Thank you for asking. Sears Tower is bluelinked, so anyone wishing to know about it has immediate access to further information. "To promote his cause" was added since otherwise, no reason is given for why anyone would don a costume and climb buildings. "To promote his cause" is based on information in the Dan Goodwin article, which indicates the climbs were not done for thrill-seeking or other reasons.-Tenebrae (talk) 14:20, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I've been away for a few days; I'll take a look. -- Tenebrae (talk) 01:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

You're very kind to say so. Thank you! -- Tenebrae (talk) 17:21, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Mimiken. I just stopped by to let you know why I reverted the Dan Goodwin addition you made at Stan Lee. The fact that Lee was interviewed about someone else's feat makes this information only tangential to Lee's article. In a larger context, too, we cannot write every one of Lee's countless TV appearances. Thanks for understanding, and happy Wiki'ing. -- Tenebrae (talk) 20:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

When the book comes out, I think it'd be appropriate to mention in a sentence that Lee wrote the forward. Otherwise, this material sounds, to me, more relevant to Goodwin's article. Just my thoughts.--Tenebrae (talk) 21:19, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Vincent_Dunn.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Vincent_Dunn.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 file. 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 created in your upload log.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:46, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit that you made to the page Dan Goodwin has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Please use the sandbox for testing any edits; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing for further information. Thank you. Jusdafax 14:27, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Spider-Man

And Goodwin has some three lines in the Spider-Man article, plus a citation to his book. I'm afraid I have to point out that most of your edits have been related to Goodwin in some way, and can be taken as being promotional in nature. I see from the above other editors feels this way. Goodwin in mentioned and cited in the Spider-Man article. Anyone desiring detailed information about him can go to the Goodwin article. --Tenebrae (talk) 23:02, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Skyman cover low rez.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Skyman cover low rez.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 CC-BY-SA 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-enwikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

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-enwikimedia.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.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:SKYSCRAPERMAN Book Cover.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:SKYSCRAPERMAN Book Cover.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ww2censor (talk) 03:03, 3 April 2011 (UTC)

File:Skyscraperman-cover.jpg

Hi. I'm afraid that it's going to be confusing having two such similar images and that there is a chance that File:Defender-of-Tall-Buildings.jpg will be deleted again as redundant. I'm dropping to ask you if you would mind my deleting File:Skyscraperman-cover.jpg under the "Author requests deletion" to help avoid that. The image you prefer has been placed in the article. I'll check back. Thanks. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 17:09, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance. Yes, please delete File:Skyscraperman-cover.jpg Cheers. Mimiken (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Links to Amazon

I'm sure it's just an oversight and not being aware of WP:NOTADVERTISING, but adding links to the Amazon sale page for the Skyscraperman book, or to any sales page for any book, is prohibited. I've reverted that link at Stan Lee, Dan Goodwin, and Skyscraperman. Also, re: the Goodwin article, we don't add hype-y, uncited, POV phrases such as "the book gives an in-depth look at....". I'm afraid I'm seeing a lot of promotional-type edits in your Wikipedia work, as do other editors, above. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:40, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for correcting my use of the Amazon sale page as a reference for Stan Lee, Dan Goodwin, and Skyscraperman. My reason for making the change was due to the files heretofore at skyscraperman.com being replaced in June 2011 by files largely self-promotional in nature. I believe an alternative and appropriate reference for the three pages can be found at: http://dbguidinger.com/?p=495 PLEASE NOTE - I will await your opinion prior to changing the reference for the three pages. --Mimiken (talk) 06:07, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Mimiken. Sorry for the delay; had no way of knowing there was a message for me here. My impression is that unless this is clearly an official site by the copyright holder, then whoever copied Stan Lee's introduction to that website is committing a copyright violation, and Wikipedia discourages and perhaps actually disallows that. (Not sure the specifics without looking it up; I know we can't link to copyright-violating YouTube pages.) As well, sometimes, occasionally, the foreword is copyrighted separately by the foreword's author,

If the idea is to footnote that the book has a Stan Lee intro, the book itself, the ISBN of which is there and available, sources that, the same way the source of movie plots are the movies themselves. Hope this helps. --Tenebrae (talk) 13:17, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

that link seems very promotional to me. It doesn't give any information about the book that can't be found anywhere else, and simply reprints the Stan Lee foreword. The only reason to have that link is to try to get people to buy the book, and that's a vio of WP:NOTADVERTISING. --Tenebrae (talk) 04:39, 22 July 2011 (UTC)
