Dear JT TRASH,

Welcome to Wikipedia, a free and open-content encyclopedia. I hope you enjoy contributing. To help get you settled in, I thought you might find the following pages useful:

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

If you are unsure of how to do something, you are welcome to ask a more experienced user such as an administrator. One last bit of advice: please sign any discussion comment with two hyphens followed by four tildes --~~~~. The software that runs Wikipedia will automatically convert this into a signature which contains your username and the date and time you posted the message, so other users don't get confused.

I hope I have not overwhelmed you with information. If you need any help just let me know. Once again welcome to Wikipedia, and don't forget to tell us about yourself on your userpage.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate your contributions to the Pure rubbish article, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! -- The Anome 00:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

The copyright has been cleared up on this article, and you're free to continue editing and improving it.--Crossmr 02:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

It's still full of direct lifts from the MySpace page: see, for example [1] and [2] Why not try writing an article from scratch, without copying from elsewhere any then trying to "clear up" its copyright status? It's easier than you might think, and will probably result in a better article. -- The Anome 10:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC) Ah: I see, this user has stated on Talk:Pure Rubbish that they are the author of the MySpace article, and they have given verifiable contact details. That's probably OK for now, although they should probably read Wikipedia's autobiography policy soon. Can they show that the band meets the WP:BAND inclusion citeria? -- The Anome 10:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

JT TRASH, please accept my apologies: I hope you understand why your article was flagged in this way; we take other people's copyright very seriously, including yours. -- The Anome 10:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Helpme

edit

What kind of help do you need? Please remember that the {{helpme}} is only for use on your talk page. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi I addes sources to the Pure Rubbish page. I believe this article metts the WP: Band limitations. Thanks!

Sources for the Pure Rubbish article

edit

I believe that the sources in the article mentioned above are adequate enough to assert the notability of the group. As long as the sources are mentioned somewhere within the article, you should be ok as far as citing sources are concerned.

Also, please remember to sign messages when you leave them on talk pages. You can do so by using four tildes (~~~~), or by pressing the Signature button on the toolbar (it looks like a signature). It helps identify who sent the message and makes it easier for me to reply. Thanks, --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 01:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

IF you feel that you have properly cited the sources, then you can remove the tag yourself. However, if it is put back, you can find out who placed it and ask them why they tagged the article. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Go to the article, and when you click edit, look for {{unreferenced}}, and delete that. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 02:19, 17 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Uploading photos

edit

First of all, what is the source of the photos? I can help you cite them right if I have an idea where they are from. Special:Upload is where you need to go to upload images. In the Summary box you can enter some information, so that you can have some description for the image, but that info will not appear on the pages when you use the image. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 03:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Since the photos are yours, you can submit them to the Public Domain. If you have not uploaded the photos yet, then you should go here and follow the instructions.
What you see on the Guns N' Roses page is called an Infobox. If you wish to use something like that on your band's page, I would suggest copying the code for the box to your page, and replacing the information already in the box with the appropriate info. for your band. Make sure that you get the exact file names for the pictures that you wish to use, so that they do not end up as red links on your page. To insert images on other parts of the page, you can click the Image button on the toolbar and type the file name of the image. I hope that this helps explain the process of inserting photos onto your page. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 22:13, 20 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Keith Richards edits

edit

I reverted the edits you made, and I think you should read that page's TALK section to understand why. Talk:Keith Richards#"MASSIVE" recent adds by 70.241.88.145 & User:JT TRASH

Since you obviously know a lot about Richards, I encourage you to add material that makes the article better, but you need to explain your additions/changes in wither the "Edit Summary" or the "TALK/DISCUSSION" page, or both. otherwise, your contributions don't make a lot of sense. Wikipedia does try to offer valid sources for their articles, and you need to be aware that your knowledge may be correct, but you still need to offer some other independent source. Happy contributing. --Mikerussell 03:26, 16 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I re-added a modified list of vocals, don't know if it will last, the other stuff you added, and took out, you can add again as far as I am concerned as long as you try to explain it so others can understand the change, that was my primary complaint.--Mikerussell 04:21, 17 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
I think this what you are talking about retreiving?

The Stones recently released Rarities 1971-2003 (2006), which includes sixteen rare and limited released recordings. Richards has termed the released output of the Stones as the "tip of the iceberg." Many Rolling Stones unreleased outakes, alternate versions, and studio jams are among the most widely bootlegged recordings in rock and roll history.

Many unreleased outtakes (some included on bootlegs) include Keith Richards on lead vocals on the Jagger / Richards penned songs including "Gimme Shelter", "Brown Sugar", "Rip This Joint", "Scarlet", "I Got A Letter", "Holding On", "Bad Luck", "I Can't Help It" (written about Anita Pallenberg), "I Think I'm Going Mad", "Crushed Pearl", and "Almost Hear You Sigh".

Many bootlegs featuring Keith Richards covering classic country, early rock n roll, blues, and pop standards include the Interchange studio sessions (recorded in 1977, Toronto, Canada), Eldorado studio sessions (recorded in 1981, Los Angeles, CA), Long View Farm studio sessions (recorded in 1981, North Brookfield, MA), the wedding tapes (recorded in a hotel room in 1983, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico), and Windmill Lane studio sessions (recorded in 1993, Dublin, Ireland).

Some songs Richards has covered by other artists include Chuck Berry's "Run Rudolph Run" and "Memphis", Jimmy Cliff's "The Harder They Come", Merle Haggard's "Sing Me Back Home", Johnny Paycheck's "Apartment Number 9", Dallas Frazier's "Say It's Not You", Jack Ripley's "Your Angels Step Out Of Heaven", Sam Cooke's "Let's Go Steady Again", Seals / Fritts's "We Had It All", Big Bill Broonzy's "Key To The Highway", Everly Brothers's "All I have To Do Is Dream", Jerry Lee Lewis's "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", Hoagy Carmichael's Nearness Of You, Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up", Robert Johnson's "32-20 Blues", Lennon / McCartney's "Please Please Me", Buddy Holly's "That'll Be The Day", Bob Dylan's "Girl From The North Country", Reverend Gary Davis's "Cocaine Blues", and Hank Williams's "You Win Again".

Since unreleased recordings most often appear as post-career or as posthumous releases, trading of these bootlegs is common on peer-to-peer sharing programs.

You can re-add it yourself. Now I don't have time to look it over. What I mean about explaining is simpling offering a reason for inclusion on the TALK page or in the edit summary- as why you think the article needs the information. Right now it seems like the info above is similiar to the listed section about 'popular bootlegs'. What does it add to the article? Maybe you know more than me, as why it is important. Other thing about getting it edited out is that people will take it down, giving their reasons, and it may go back and forth for awhile but eventually a consensus will develop whether it should be included. People tend look over favorite articles and make sure the content and quality stays high. There are a lot of recurrent editors on the Richards page, not just me. Hope this makes sense to you.--Mikerussell 03:06, 18 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for Image:Dog'sdamour83.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Dog'sdamour83.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. --OrphanBot 09:06, 14 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Penny Royal (band)

edit
 

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Penny Royal (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Clovis Sangrail (talk) 06:59, 9 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
