Undo

Hi. The reason I undid your edit is because the character pages should be short overviews of the characters' history and not an extensive list of facts, quotes and so on. If you wanna do extensive work, there's Wikiquotes or the episode recaps you can create/update. Peace —Preceding unsigned comment added by Siemgi (talk • contribs) 22:23, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Bethany Joy Galeotti

Hello, HushSound. The reason that I changed referring to her in this article (twice now) from Bethany Joy to Galeotti is because articles (or further mentions after the first mention) on real-life people on Wikipedia should refer to them by their last name, not by their first name...as to keep it formal, not personal. She can be called Bethany Joy at first mention in her lead (introduction) and at first mention in her Early life section, but not all the way through her article, as if we personally know her. And even if we did personally know her, her article should be kept formal for other readers. You can look at Featured (FA) Articles such as Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes for examples.

You're right that Spouse is the wrong word to use

Hey, HushSound. You're right that the word "Spouse" is the wrong word to use to list for boyfriends, girlfriends, and lovers who are not necessarily a boyfriend or girlfriend, of course. However, that's all we have for the character infobox templates at this moment in listing a romantic partner. Until an editor changes the character infobox template to list the words Boyfriend, Girlfriend, or the word Lover, as to simplify matters, then we're stuck with the word Spouse. It's not that bad, since beside the word Spouse, editors usually list a character's status of either being a boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, fling, or one-night stand (and sometimes a combination of either). I will return the changes you made to Brooke Davis, Peyton Sawyer, and Nathan Scott on this matter, but will also look into getting the words (or just the word Lover) cited above for listing something other than Spouse.

Oh, and if you ever need to ask me anything concerning Wikipedia, don't hesitate to drop by my talk page. Just remember that when talking on talk pages here at Wikipedia, to sign your user name by typing four tildes ~~~~. Flyer22 07:14, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia's policies

There are some Wikipedia policies that you need to know at this moment. I will list two. And inform you of a few more later:

To start with... When creating a heading within an article on Wikipedia, make sure that the part of the heading after the first word is not capitalized, unless it is an official name of something in which is capitalized...like New York City. Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (capital letters)#Section headings, you should only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns in headings, but leave the rest lower case. For example: Voice dubbing, not Voice Dubbing...Music videos, not Music Videos.

Also, the reason that the image of Bethany Joy Lenz (at this moment Galeotti, of course) is not used as the main (lead/introduction) image for her within her article here at Wikipedia is because we are not allowed to use fair-use images for depicting real-life people...unless it's a magazine cover, some type of promotional image, but not for the main image of an article. We can use fair-use images for them depicting the character they are portraying, however, but not for the main image, since it is still a fair-use image. For a better understanding of what I mean by "fair-use", you can read a similar discussion about fair-use images with this link. I'll see you around. Flyer22 21:58, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:JoyGL.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JoyGL.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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Here's some help on Wikipedia's image policy, as cited above on your talk page

Before you upload any more images to Wikipedia, take a look at Wikipedia's image policy that is cited above this message on your talk page. The images that you upload should provide a fair-use rationale, the source of where you acquired the image (whether it is from the internet, someone, or taken by you), and a license.

For an example of what to do, besides looking at the meassges left for you above about this issue, take a look at Image:Babe Carey -- Main Image (1).JPG and it may help you on this matter. You don't have to write a long summary, but make sure that your fair-use rationale is a lot like what is seen tagged onto this image.

I will go ahead and take care of providing what is needed for the image you have uploaded so far. If you have any questions/comments about Wikipedia, you can contact me on my talk page here or email me. Flyer22 05:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I went ahead, like I stated that I would, and provided the needed details for Image:JoyGL.jpg, except for the source of this image, because I don't know where you got it from, HushSound. You are the one who needs to provide the source for this image by editing its page and adding where you got it from to its summary, considering that you are the one who knows where you got it from.

The way that this image is formatted in detail is how the formatting of detail to any image you upload should look, but with the source of where you acquired the image. Also, with the correct licensing. Notice how the licensing on this image (a television screenshot) is different than the licensing of the Babe Carey image (a promotional photograph). You can copy and paste the formatting of this image by clicking on its editing button, of course, then copying it, and then pasting it to any image you upload at the upload selection from your computer. Make sure that its detail, such as the actor/actress and or character's name, etc. and name of the article are of whichever article you are going to apply it to, of course. Talk with you later.

Fair use rationale for Image:HaloAct.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:HaloAct.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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. Melesse (talk) 00:09, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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.

Image source problem with Image:BethanyGal.png

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:BethanyGal.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BlueAzure (talk) 02:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Songs in My Pockets

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Songs in My Pockets, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 71.204.176.201 (talk) 01:07, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Little context in Burning Down The House (2000)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Burning Down The House (2000), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Burning Down The House (2000) is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Burning Down The House (2000), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Overzealous article creation

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 23:05, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Assistance

Hey man, thanks for the note. I know it can seem like I'm raining on your parade, but I think you've added some good stuff, though you may have been a little overzealous in creating too many articles that center around one topic. Undoubtedly the individual meets notability guidelines, that doesn't mean that everything she produces is inherently worthy of its own article. Most of the information can be easily managed and would be relevant in the biography of the singer. Keep in mind that we're not a crystal ball, and our goal is an encyclopedic treatment of the subject. We try to deal with the real world significance using independent reliable sources. Make sure to avoid synthesis of thought or other forms of original research. Also, we're not a newspaper, and generally try to avoid recentism. If you have any specific questions, or want some help in particular, please leave me another note on my talk page. Also, it's probably good for you to start off by building articles in your sandbox to avoid having them prematurely deleted. I look forward to working with you in the future! /Blaxthos ( t / c ) 03:23, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with File:Everly.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Everly.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Fair use rationale for File:SIMPCap.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:SIMPCap.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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.

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 '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.

Bethany Joy Galeotti

Hi there. I see that you have done lots of editing to improve the Bethany Joy Galeotti page. I just wanted to let you know that I tagged it for 'BLP sources'. The article needs many more in-line citations (and references) to support the information stated. Since you seem to be a big fan, you might want to take some time to find sources for the information, rather than have me add tags throughout the article. Thanks. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 18:54, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Amber Sweeney, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.ilike.com/artist/Amber+Sweeney. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.

File permission problem with File:Everly Promotional.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Everly Promotional.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 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.

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.

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment.

Bethany Joy Galeotti

As per your request, I have read through the beginning of Bethany Joy Galeotti for you and added tags where sources/citations should be placed to verify information. In some cases, you may be able to just add more citations to current references. In other cases, you will need to find new sources.

Please note that a source should be reliable source and have a neutral point-of-view, and preferably published by a third party. In addition to those links, you can also check out WP:BLP#Reliable sources and WP:SELFPUBLISH. So for example, if her website says; “Bethany recently directed her first episode of One Tree Hill which was met with accolades from crew and critics alike,” you should not just reference her website. Her website (or a fan site) can say anything it wants to (and can be stretched a little.) This is an encyclopedia. You should find independent, 3rd party source(s) which mention these accolades from the crew and from the cast.

Also keep in mind that copying information directly from another website or article is considered a copyright violation. So for example, the Galeotti article says:

"Galeotti stepped behind the camera to call all the shots as Lucas finally got the opportunity to cast his movie.”

This is a direct copy of the cited TV Guide source, which says:

"But for this week's episode, Bethany Joy Galeotti stepped behind the camera, to call all the shots as Lucas finally gets to cast his movie."

Similarly, the sentences:

"She landed her first professional job in a commercial for an American syndicated teen drama series entitled Swans Crossing during a trip to Los Angeles with her drama school,” and

"She inevitably became a commercial veteran appearing in commercials for Eggo Waffles, Dr Pepper among many others."

are still copyright violations because it is clear they are a slight rearrangement text from the Joieluckclub website:

"On a trip to Los Angeles with a drama school, she landed her first professional job in a commercial for "Swan Crossing," a teen series." and

"She immediately began auditioning and quickly became a commercial veteran, appearing in commercials for Eggos Waffles and Dr Pepper."

And the sentences:

"Galeotti has been working steadily as an actress since she was about twelve," and

"Her directorial debut was met with accolades from crew and critics alike and has motivated Galeotti to continue directing."

come directly from her website:

"Bethany has been working steadily as an actress and singer since she was about twelve."

"Bethany recently directed her first episode of One Tree Hill which was met with accolades from crew and critics alike."

As I mentioned in my opening, I have only read through the first few sections. When you have found the proper sources, let me know and I will read the next few sections and add tags as appropriate. I hope this has helped some. Have fun! --Logical Fuzz (talk) 04:02, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of Amber Sweeney

The article Amber Sweeney has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sourced indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:NMUSIC. A WP:BEFORE search does not find significant coverage in reliable sources.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
