I'd say start work on a banner and userboxes; make a few of them, I'd say. My suggestion for the banner logo is the VA circle logo with Jay and Bob, although that's entirely up to you. Looking forward to your work! --DodgerOfZion 19:29, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Bulletpoints.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bulletpoints.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 '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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thor edits

You might find that actually discussing matters to be a lot more helpful than simply stating your pov and reverting for the third time without waiting for a reply or explanation. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 19:18, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't consider it cruft, wherein lies the content dispute. Were it a discussion of different powers or attack combinations or whatnot, I would tend to agree with you. It is not. It has no effect other than to show the evolution of the costume. That is noteworthy. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 19:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It belongs in the games section because it occurs in the game, and is therefore noteworthy. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 19:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Because it is fine where it is. Since you seem rather keen on writing anew section, I will leave that to you. You have played the game whereas I have not, so you are better off writing it anyway. Thanks in advance. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(outdent) Well, if you don't want to have a new section, perhaps you could cowboy up a bit and not try to recommend a new section that you think is cruft. Sheesh. If you think a section is needed, then write it. If you don't. don't waste bandwidth recommending someone else to do it (nice try at distraction, though). Kid, you are going to find that you gather a lot more cooperation with friendliness than with being unpleasant and dismissive. We'll talk tomorrow. :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As if the respect of someone who acts like you is topping my list. Sport, you have a LOT of growing up to do. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

seeing as you deleted my posts on your talk page(real mature BTW) I am going to put this here and I hope that you will see it, well not really I am done with it. But anyway, I saw it as cruft, I removed it, end of story, now I have played the game, and I know who Thor is, you don;t seem to knwo the basic info, Now I am not saying that makes me better than you, just I know more about this topic, so you would think I would know better what should be on the article or not, and well since two editors thought that shoul dnto be on there, you think you could of respected that.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 20:44, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's called dissent, which doesn't really pay all that much honey to those who have gone before. You reacted to the edit without sharing what you are considering your superior info on the character, instead using that opportunity to suggest that I was some cruft-maker. Wrong way to open a discussiion, as was responding to my suggestion to discuss the matter by posting that you were changing it back and reverting within the space of a minute. That you dismissed the idea of discussion didn't earn you any love from me, and made me start to wonder what sort of ass-clown I was dealing with.

I guess in retrosepct you aren't an ass-clown, Pho, but your responses to me did not reinforce Good Faith, and I recall commenting on that numerous times, to give you an opening to be more polite. It was also the reason why I removed your posts - why bother reminding myself of someone who acts unpleasantly while not teaching me anything of valiue?

there is my final word on the matter, I guess. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 20:57, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meh, I thought it was common knowledge that Beta Ray Bill was not Thor, I am sry for the way I acted (sorta) but I am not sry for what I did. And like I said reverting it was the change of 2 editors, not just me. Good Day.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 21:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redlinks

Unless they are pointing at something that will never be created. It is often important to sketch out redlinks like I've been doing so that the naming convention is right and we avoid the creation of duplicate entries (they can be pretty useful tools). Also it might encourage people to get stuck in and make the entry. Given the current upsurge in interest in revamping Golden Age superheroes it looks like we'll need maybe a dozen new entries and I don't have the time to make them. What I can do is make sure they are redlinked and the naming looks solid and then I'll start rolling out entry requests. Hopefully be the time these new projects are released (at the end of this year and the start of 2008) we should have everything in place to help give readers some background (fairly important with something like this). So the redlinks are the groundwork or scaffolding and we can work to make sure everything is slotted into place. Or that is the plan anyway ;) (Emperor 22:34, 8 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

OK cool. I'm fairly happy with the way things stand so will throw out some article requests later - one way or the other we'll get the job done :) (Emperor 23:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Henry Pym

Hi, Phoenix. Do you have a URL and a specific issue of The Avengers that your Yellowjacket SHB image came from? Asgardian has a point that it needs more precise sourcing, though I've put it back in since he made a unilateral change to the SHB image without seeking consensus. I'm currently looking through the 'net to source it as well, and additionally trying to come up with alternatives. Thanks. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fairuse rationales

Hi Phoenix, I noticed that removed the fairuse rationale warning from Image:Ult x4 1.jpg. However, the image still needs a fairuse rationale so I put the notice back. I am a little concerned why you also removed the warning from Image:Superpowers-Ross-Painting.jpg. All the bot wanted was you to follow 10(c) which is to include a link to the article that the image is used in. I know the bot is cryptic as hell but I took care of the Superpowers image. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe in the whole idea for fair use, If you want to put one in their, be my guest, but I am not going to do anything to help out this rule. Also, I am removing the tags for the same reason. that and to give other people time to get to them. I have seen times where over 100 images were tagged in less than a day, and even if I helped there was no way we could get it done in 7 days.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 21:04, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't matter. The tags are there for a reason. You can't just say "I don't believe in copyrights therefore I can do what I want." The policy is there for a reason and because of attitudes like that, the Foundation has said that anything that doesn't have fairuse rationales should be deleted immediately on March 23, 2008.[1] Your choice. I am putting the warning back; if you choose not to follow policy and add it, it will be deleted. Remove the warning and you will be blocked for vandalism. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 21:27, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe in copy-rights and I understand that if someone uses the images and says that it is their own, and tries to make money off of it then it is bad. But I also believe that if you just put in the summary who it belongs to and if people are not making any money from using the image(which I hope that is the case for wikipedia), then it is ok. I am still going to do what i feel is right, so if you want to block me, then go ahead, I need the vacation anyway.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 21:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That's a laudable sentiment, but it's not in line with official Wikipedia policy. If you disagree, then feel free to discuss it on the policy page, but don't just ignore it or try to circumvent it. Doing so is pretty disruptive. --Haemo (talk)

Ok 1) TY for the compliment. 2) TY for cleaning up my talk page with all the cruft from different fair-use stuff. I was really wondering when this would happen, I wonder if it is because people started looking my profile 8-P. 3) I know for a fact that no one up there(there being the policy pages) will listen to me, and really most of the people who are like that are rule-nazis , jackasses, or both (I am sry but that is my experience with them, please prove me wrong) so I am just going to keep doing what I am doing, cause I think it does help, it gives people more time, which as you can see from the stuff below me is needed, and since I do believe that it is BS then I don't think I should do it, cause I know I wont care enough to do it right which is just as useless. Well anyway, if you know of some other people who agree with my ideas and I will gladly voice my opinion with their support, but until then why make a battle I can't win, when I can kinda stay under the radar and do some sort of good.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 05:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry you feel this way, but this is a pretty serious issue. The Foundation has fair use guidelines because our non-free content criteria are really legal issues in many cases. A fair use rationale is not not just "nice" or a recommendation someone made up, but a legal requirement — Wikipedia requires them not because they're being "rule-Nazis" but because we need them to legally make fair use claims over our images. Without the information the rationales provide, Wikipedia's lawyers could not (in many cases) make a sufficient defense of the image if it were challenged by the copyright holder. To put it another way, Wikipedia is not being the "rule-Nazis" but the US copyright system is; unfortunately, we have to play along because we're part of the system. If you disagree with doing it on Wikipedia, that's fine by me — however, I would politely request that you not disrupt people who are trying to keep Wikipedia compliant with the Foundation's policies. That means don't remove "rationale needed" tags, and try to upload images with a rudimentary rationale when and if you upload them. You may think you're "doing good", but a lot of people would disagree with that sentiment. You seem like a really nice guy, and a quality contributor, so I wouldn't like to see you getting a lot of stress for something so ultimately trivial and being done from good intentions. --Haemo (talk) 06:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Superpowers-Ross-Painting.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Superpowers-Ross-Painting.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. WebHamster 01:50, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about this huge spike of lack-of-rationales warnings. That must have been frustrating and overwhelming. You'll probably be relieved to know that all the images listed have fair-use rationales now and the warning templates have all been removed as of writing. I just checked twice to make sure. It looks like Image:3000CYSPACE.jpg was just fine to begin with. I'm not sure why it was tagged. I noticed all your image pages are very organised with "summary" and "license" sections. In addition to these could you also include a "source" section to your future uploads with a link to where the image came from? Source information could be important to preventing an image from being deleted, and this information is hard to find later on. Thank you for all your contributions to Wikipedia!

PS: My page is on your watchlist isn't it 8-).Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 01:17, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes every page I edit is on my watchlist courtesy of preferences. I'm still wondering what it is that makes you different from every other editor. We all have to follow the rules, for some reason you don't think you have to. Most editors who end up with these templates on their talk page do so due to ignorance of the rules and that is forgiveable. You however feel that there is something special about you whereby they don't apply to you. I'm curious as to why that should be. --WebHamster 01:22, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ugh... I really do not want to explain my self again, just look above, and please don't try to convince me otherwise, I have heard it all and I am still not convinced. Phoenix₇₄₁(Talk Page) 01:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't what I asked. I asked why you believe the rules shouldn't apply to you. It's fair enough not believing in them, or not liking them. That's everyone's right. There's an awful lot of rules I don't like, there's a few I hate with a vengeance but that's besides the point. Until they change them I have to keep to them. I was just wondering why you believe that you are an exception? --WebHamster 01:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who said I was, if I get banned for not putting them up, then I get banned. I really got no problem for being punished for something that I know was against the rules, as long as I believe that what I did was right.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 01:40, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a suggestion, don't think so black and white. There's a middle ground. Simply don't upload pics. That way you don't have to get blocked or be bothered with the fair use policies. Someone else at some point will upload an equivalent anyway. Let's face it the world isn't going to end if you don't upload a comic book image. You certainly aren't going to change policy by throwing yourself on your sword. Until the US copyright laws are changed the FUR policy won't change no matter how many images you uploaded or complained about. The true cost of your non-compliance though was that another editor had to do what you were supposed to do. Hardly the honourable thing to do is it? Policy hasn't been changed, you still have to comply and you still haven't been martyred. I'm sure there's more important protests you can make. --WebHamster 01:51, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure there's more important protests you can make.

No not really.

Simply don't upload pics. That way you don't have to get blocked or be bothered with the fair use policies. Someone else at some point will upload an equivalent anyway.

But that would take all the fun away from editing wikipedia. Plus I know that some of the smaller articles will not get an image for a LONG time unless I add it.

You certainly aren't going to change policy by throwing yourself on your sword.

Hey you never know. Someone can look and be like "Hey, he is right, I am going to help him", and so on, and so on.

The true cost of your non-compliance though was that another editor had to do what you were supposed to do.

Ok, if they feel the rule is right and they want to add it, be my guest, it is not MY image, I just added it to wikipedia, after that it is in everyone else's hands.

Let's face it the world isn't going to end if you don't upload a comic book image.

No, but wikipedia would suck just a little bit more, and it would be less fun.

Hardly the honorable thing to do is it?

Who said anything about honor, you really need to stop putting words in my text.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 01:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I said something about honour. It wasn't a quote, it was a statement. So basically, and please correct me if I'm wrong. You don't mind breaking the rules if someone else does your work for you? And yes they are your images in respect of the fact you uploaded them, accordingly it is your responsibility to make sure they comply with the rules that are a prerequisite of your right to upload. What do you not understand about it being policy, not a consensus derived guideline that can be changed. It's policy based on legally protecting Wikipedia. It won't matter if you have a 100 editors on your side, it won't change... at least not until the Copyright laws of the US are either changed or repealed, and that is not about to change anytime soon. There's British expression that seems quite apropos here, you're pissing into the wind. But I suppose that's your right. No-one said common-sense was a requirement to be an editor. I'll not bother you any more... except by template of course ;) --WebHamster 02:24, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok

1) it is spelled honor

2) TY for shutting up, I mean reallyyour like the 5th person who has tried to convince me other wise. It is not going to work.

3) Like I said, it is everyones image, if they truly believe that it is right then go ahead. Just like how I think it is right that they don't need to be up, just like how you think it is right to put up templates.

4) I believe my initial complaint was that the templates were to impersonal, so you think those could be fixed.

5) if fair use is SO important why don't you add a function on the upload page that forces us to add it. Like what is going on with licensing. Really I see no threat at all to not add them. Anyway I don't expect you to answer this, just ranting, thanks again for shutting up.Phoenix₇₄₁ (Talk Page) 02:44, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Image:RedCoin.JPG

A tag has been placed on Image:RedCoin.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:Image:RedCoin.JPG|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please note that I have also added a large number of requests to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Comics/Task template (and will likely continue to do so, until I come up with a better idea). One thing to be careful of is to make sure that the fair-use rationale is well-established so that the images don't just turn around and get deleted in a hurry. You may also want to coordinate with User:EmilyRose, who has also been busily adding pictures. BOZ (talk) 15:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
