Happy Tree Friends

A tag has been placed on List of Happy Tree Friends deaths, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as articles for deletion. If you can indicate how List of Happy Tree Friends deaths is different from the previously posted material, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article, and also put a note on Talk:List of Happy Tree Friends deaths saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 4 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions.

Furthermore, if they disagree with my reasons for failing the article, it will become GA. It's nothing personal by the way Armando, but merely my interpretation of the GA criteria. LuciferMorgan 22:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
Your very welcome to disagree - feel free to voice that at GAR (Good Article Review) and your reasoning as to why you disagree with my reasons for failing.

Edit summaries

Hi,

I had noticed that my autofill summaries aren't working, it seems to be something common to others using popups. I have no idea why, and it never seemed worth spending time on as I usually only use popups to fix vandalism. Any idea? WLU 21:39, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nope. I tried to use the automatic summaries but I didn't work :S Armando.OtalkEv 21:55, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sig glitch

Armando, your signature's superscript isn't closing properly. Note the formatting of the timestamp after it above. Any text after that in the same line will also be <sup>ed, so this might be a small problem. If you use the following code, it won't be a problem: :<tt><nowiki>[[User:Armando12|<font color="#276394">Armando.O</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Armando12|<font color="#2C518F">talk</font>]] • [[WP:EV|<font color="#2C518F">Ev</font>]]</sup>

It displays like: Armando.OtalkEv (same as current) but it's valid code and won't break the text following it. — Tuvok[T@lk/Improve me] 21:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm using the exactly the same code...(edit this section to see the code) Armando.OtalkEv 21:16, 4 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Not quite. Your code omits the quotes and hash symbols for the color values. Comparison:
Your code: [[User:Armando12|<font color=276394>Armando.O</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Armando12|<font color=2C518F>talk</font>]] • [[WP:EV|<font color=2C518F>Ev</font>]]</sup>
Fixed code: [[User:Armando12|<font color="#276394">Armando.O</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:Armando12|<font color="#2C518F">talk</font>]] • [[WP:EV|<font color="#2C518F">Ev</font>]]</sup>
Display tests:
Your code: Armando.OtalkEv test for superscript closure (stays up)
Fixed code: Armando.OtalkEv test for superscript closure (goes back to normal)

Image:JohnLeCompt.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JohnLeCompt.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 48 hours after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali (talk) 16:14, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Unfree images on templates

Hi, Armando12. The problem with unfree images on templates is not only about they being displayed in the Template: namespace. Do you plan, for instance, to add a fair use rationale for each article where Image:Evanescence.svg is used due to it being in a template? I have raised this problem on Wikipedia talk:Fair use , and you may want to expose your thoughs there (but only if you feel so). Best regards, --Abu badali (talk) 18:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey Armando. Sorry about this fuss with the template. I've been trying to discuss a point about WP:FU#9 for a while, but been unable to get past a "never in templates" response. Had to actually do it to explore the waters, and am a little surprised how quickly it got noticed. Discussion is good. Anyway, it might be worth considering if in the long run, just the name as a text link is good enough for the navigation template? Could the EV symbol from the wikiproject be used in the nav template? Gimmetrow 22:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh!!!..of course...it's a free image created by me!..so It could be used there...but i that may not be enough.. Armando.OtalkEv 22:35, 10 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
It looks like you weren't informed. You might want to comment on this IfD discussion. Gimmetrow 19:08, 12 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Again so sorry about this fuss. The irony is that end result (content wise) is what would have happened anyway (since images linked to articles are not really a good idea), but it didn't have to be quite so bumpy. Gimmetrow 03:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
And to answer your question on the IFD, it was apparently proposed for deletion because someone thought it was infringing on the copyright of the real band logo. Again I apologize for the fuss. Gimmetrow 04:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Don't worry, its ok. Armando.OtalkEv 23:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Evanescence main article

Good revert of those recent edits, I was just about to do the same. I don't understand why that one fellow seems to be bent on deleting all fair use imagry, when it has clearly been determined to be acceptable use in articles. It's getting a little...tiresome. -- Huntster T@C 21:21, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, I'm really sick of it too. Also, the nomination for the Ev-In.svg image is too stupid. I don't know but I looks like ed g2s (or whatever his nick is) has a problem with Evanescence. Armando.OtalkEv 21:27, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

I actually couldn't care less about Evanescence. Please remember to assume good faith and remain civil. Acting, as I am, in good faith, I can't vandalise by definition. That we have an album-cover tag for images does not give you carte-blanche to use album covers wherever you see fit. The relevance of the images to the band is not mentioned in the article. Remember we use fair use as a last resort for critical commentary. As I stated in my edit summary, at no point is the evolution of the logo discussed, nor are the differences in the two versions noteworthy. ed g2stalk 22:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

What? That we have an album-cover tag for images does not give you carte-blanche to use album covers wherever you see fit. ??? So I must beg your permission and authorization to use images? If your "philosphy" were used in all the articles on Wikipedia, there'd be hundreds and hundreds of articles without images. I really don't know why you want to delete the album cover images, of Evanescence, when articles like Nirvana, Nightwish, Genesis (band), AC/DC (all of this featured articles) and hundreds of more articles use album covers on it. I'm NOT telling that the we use the images because other articles does, but we do it because it don't infringe anything (guidelines, copyright...).Armando.OtalkEv 22:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
"there'd be hundreds and hundreds of articles without images" - there are thousands of articles without images, and they wouldn't be better with images they didn't need, especially if those images were unfree. I am not deleting the cover images - they are used acceptably on the articles about the albums, they just have no reason to be on the article about the band because they are not discussed. If you read WP:FUC you'll find they do violate our policy. ed g2stalk 23:35, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Specify the "violated" criterion. Armando.OtalkEv 23:43, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
And, that policy is about the criteria of the image itself, not the place where it should or shouldn't be used. Armando.OtalkEv 23:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
This is where you are mistaken. I can only assume you didn't read pass #7. Fair Use law, and our unfree image policy (WP:FUC) are both about context. This is why we need to have rationales for each use of an images. FUC#9 explicitly lists a load of plances where Fair Use "shouldn't be used", and FUC#8 makes it quite clear that the approriateness of use is dependent on context. ed g2stalk 00:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
What??? Well, you have listed this, criterion 7 and 9. 7: The material must be used in at least one article. The images were in the Evanescence article until you deleted those.
9: Fair use images may be used only in the article namespace. It was (until you deleted the images).
All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. SHOULD, not MUST. This is a different case. The reasons are in the fair use rationable of the image.
Now, this. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the templates used as part of the Main Page). There is! Check this archive. Armando.OtalkEv 01:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Every image that we do not have a license to republish is potentially infringing. They are permitted to be republished here under our Wikipedia:Fair use guidelines. If there is significant disagreement over an unfree image, the urgent thing is to address any concerns, not to make sure that it is replaced into the article as quickly as possible. If this isn't clear, then we need to spell it out more obviously. Jkelly 01:46, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

??? I don't understand. Armando.OtalkEv 01:48, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
I was responding to this note, which seemed to be a question about images we are not licensed to republish and edit wars. Jkelly 02:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Lol, I know, but it was not a question is was an affirmation. What I didn't understand was your whole comment. Armando.OtalkEv 02:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Okay. Forgive me if this is telling you things that you already know! Images that have fair use tags on them are, unless something has gone wrong, under copyright. The copyright holder has the right to allow or disallow other people to publish their work. For the most part, although (confusingly) this is not true in every case, we do not have a license to republish the work. We do this by exploiting a doctrine in United States copyright law called fair use that allows limited republication under certain criteria. You can, of course, read more about this doctrine in our article. Wikipedia then imposes further criteria upon these criteria, largely because of its free content mission. en: (the English Wikipedia) is, speaking generally, not great at working out how to deal with this kind of content. Regardless of how one feels about this situation, we do have to keep in mind both the actual legal situation (which, ideally, should be not a problem if we closely follow our own rules, but things are not alway ideal), and the guidelines and policies about republishing such media here. If there is any real disagreement about whether the use (not the existence of the file, but how it is being used in an article) meets our criteria or not, this needs to be worked out through informed discussion, and this should take priority over making sure the article is illustrated. I hope this explains what I was talking about. Jkelly 02:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but I already knew that. Armando.OtalkEv 02:29, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Then what do you not understand? Jkelly 02:34, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Every image that we do not have a license to republish is potentially infringing. They are permitted to be republished here under our Wikipedia:Fair use guidelines.

Did you bold the words you didn't understand, or are you repeating the sentence because you think it is contradictory? A copyright holder can grant a license to publish or republish their work. When you write an article, for instance, that article is copyrighted by you. By publishing it here, you agree to license it under the GFDL. The GFDL is a very permissive license; it allows everyone to republish your work, if they follow some conditions. If someone didn't want to follow that license, but they wanted to quote a small part of what you wrote in order to comment on it, in the United States they could invoke "fair use" and publish the part that they wanted to comment on. That's what we do with images like album covers and screenshots. I hope that this clears things up. Jkelly 02:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply
Because it was contradictory...well now...about your last comment...that's why the fair-use exists...for example...the cover of an OVA, has the creator allows to republish his/her art? Never ever! Armando.OtalkEv 03:08, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lacuna Coil.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lacuna Coil.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ReyBrujo 06:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:S2lo.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:S2lo.svg. 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. 20:10, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Extra Tracklisting

I just noticed you reverted that page again and then re-reverted to the change I made. I suppose I wasn't very clear on what I was doing. I'm not a part of WP:SINGLES, but was asked by User:Reaper X to make this change. I'm no expert of Wikilanguage, but if I've seen something done somewhere, I can usually emulate the code, so that's what I did there. As to the colours, in WP:ALBUMS, you can only select colours by selecting the album type in question, which in my mind works perfectly to keep things consistent, and what Reaper X asked me was to have those same colours carried over to Template:Extra tracklisting (talk · links · edit), as it indicates what track the song or single is on the album. Now, as I mentioned, I'm not usually involved in Singles, but where it related to albums, I step in and it seemed completely logical to apply these same colour rules to the syntax here to allow these to be colourised the same as the destination album (should the person click the link and go to the album). I expect you know this or recognise this, since you've re-reverted it, but I thought I should elaborate on why i did what I did.
peace

Lady Oscar trivia

I was trying to do some copyediting on the Lady Oscar (film) entry, and I'm finding sentence structure of the trivia entry confusing: "Due to one of the sponsors of this film was Shiseido, one of the most important cosmetic companies of Japan, Catriona MacColl was contracted for the promotion of its cosmetic campaign "Spring-79", where its new product would appear: the shining red labial." Do you mean Ms. MacColl was hired as a spokesmodel for the Spring 79 campaign? And what is "shining red labial"? Do you mean "Label"?

SVG

There is no such rule that you need to use SVG images in South Park articles. FictionH 21:19, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Just look at this template, {{Svg}}. This image was uploaded in the PNG, GIF, or JPEG format. However, it contains information that could be stored more efficiently and/or more accurately in the SVG format. If possible, please upload an SVG version of this image. The Eric, Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Butters image were JPG or Gif. After doing so, please replace all instances of the previous version throughout Wikipedia (noted under the "File links" header), tag the old version with {{Vector version available}}, and remove this tag. that's why I did, but some users are reverting it and used the older images. Also check this, Wikipedia:Use SVG over PNG. Armando.OtalkEv 23:29, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

Hey Armando, I have a user screaming at me that the cover we have at the top of the Fallen article is just a promotional image, and that the "Second pressing" cover is actually the only one used for the physical copies. Since you were the originator of these, I wanted to find out what evidence you had that the first was the original, and the second really was just a subsequent press, so I can give this user a reply. Also, you seem to have been rather quiet lately, anything going on? Cheers! -- Huntster T@C 21:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

I took that image from the Evanescence Official website (check the description of the image). Well, I read in the EvReference (it might be wrong) that the "2nd" cover has a caption that says "Secondary Pressing of Fallen". Also, the "second edition of Fallen contains My Immortal (Full Band). Then I supposed that the first edition had the "1st" cover (the one I uploaded) and the second edition has the "2nd" cover...now, i have the album, but without My Immortal (Full band), so i guess it's the first edition...my sis bought the album later and it has My Immortal (Full Band). But! Both albums have the same cover...so maybe it's just a promotional image for Fallen (also, the letters of the title [in the promo cover] look rare). A minute ago I read on the EvThreads this...http://www.evthreads.com/showpost.php?p=257040&postcount=131, the same that that user was screaming at you xD... and about me, I don't have much time cuz of the homework and that stuff, but next week I'll have vacations so I'll have moooore time. Also I'm creating an Ev site xD, Wikipedia is very limited cuz of the references the fair-use and that stuff. It's very different than most of Ev fan pages...It's under construction and it's in spanish. http://www.cloudnine.ya.st Armando.OtalkEv 23:25, 7 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
In that case, I'm going to change it back and restore the second image as primary cover. Just too much evidence of the first being a promo. Also, nice site! Wish I had any talent with graphic design... -- Huntster T@C 00:42, 8 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Enjoy_the_Silence-Lacuna_Coil.ogg

Thanks for uploading Image:Enjoy_the_Silence-Lacuna_Coil.ogg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. ShakespeareFan00 12:41, 12 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Don't be made a ShakespeareFan, he is just doing as policy dictates, which says that such material needs to go. It's unfortunate but does further the goals of Wikipedia. -- Huntster T@C 20:53, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
Yeah I know, but it'd be better if he listed all the pages that he has tagged as no-rationable in one message.
Sure, but it is a mostly automated process, so it leaves these messages automatically. -- Huntster T@C 02:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
