Orphaned fair use image (Image:Move Under Ground hardcover.jpg) edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Move Under Ground hardcover.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. This is an automated message from BJBot 13:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, automated bot! You won't read this, but I did change around Move Under Ground to use both cover images. --Kynn 18:54, 2 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Don Murphy edit

Hey there. To answer your question, no I did not get a screenshot but it was verified by many other users. I kinda blanked out in that aspect. I am certain that if they do somehow manage to secure an admin, it will turn out for the best. He won't do much damage before being caught and the admin with a lack of character will be no more. If you do get blocked by some random admin for no reason, contact me and any other users or admins you know by e-mail. Oh and don't take any personal attacks from AZJustice like this one. Warn him using the templates until he stops and then report him if he continues. Cheers, Philip Gronowski Contribs 00:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Oh and here is a page that I missed when I was surfing their forum: More on Shitapedia. They really are creative with their names, aren't they? I have several screenshots. E-mail me if you want them. NOW REMOVED Philip Gronowski Contribs 00:50, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm really sorry but they are at it again. Don Murphy's "Stooges" might attack. Here are some of his fans at it. I have a screenshot if it gets taken down when they notice this post (which they likely will), if you want screenshots contact me by using the e-mail function at my user page. This a direct copy of the one posted at the Admin Notice board. Cheers, Philip Gronowski Contribs 04:27, 6 February 2007 (UTC)Reply


Disclosures edit

If you think I need to disclose something about Jane Hamsher, however, you're wrong. I've never met the woman, I don't know her, and I'm definitely not her friend as some editors have claimed. Sorry.

Two T's edit

It's two t's as evidenced at my blog. Thanks for the hard and fair work here. --Gpohara 00:40, 16 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thanks, Garrett. I'm at a loss as to why people keep vandalizing your name in particular! --Kynn 16:36, 18 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion tagging of Stanoje Stamatović Glavaš edit

I am sure your intentions were good, but would you please remove your {{db-bio}} from this article? My basis for requesting this is in the {{hangon}} template on the article. If you still consider this a candidate for deletion, please consider removing the above tags, and submitting an WP:AfD. Jerry lavoie 04:25, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

The article doesn't list why he's notable, except to say that a street was named after him, in a non-English-speaking country. Write a better article and I might accept that he's notable? At the very least, tell what he is notable for. --Kynn 04:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Freshia edit

About the speedy deletion of Freshia's article. I'm fine with that decision, but I want to know what I can do to have that article in the future without it being deleted immediately. I am sure Mitsuwa Marketplace (Chicago Store) that article should be deleted, as that seems to be 'blatant' advertising. However, the main article Mitsuwa Marketplace should not be deleted because it is a notable Japanese chain with establishments in the United States. The same goes for the article Famima!!, in which the lead paragraph is very similar, if not exactly like the paragraph I used for Freshia. z ε n  06:58, 20 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Move Under Ground paperback(US).jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Move Under Ground paperback(US).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 insure 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 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.BetacommandBot 23:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

File:Harry Cornwall Wheeler.jpg missing description details edit

Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as:

is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.

If the information is not provided, the image may eventually be proposed for deletion, a situation which is not desirable, and which can easily be avoided.

If you have any questions, please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Theo's Little Bot (error?) 08:22, 14 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Attention: WikiProject African diaspora participants edit

Hello fellow project participants. Not sure how many users are still active as normal Wikipedia editors but felt the need to attempt to get a gauge on who can be called on for help with articles falling under the umbrella of the African diaspora project. According to the project's article table there are over six thousand articles related to the African diaspora; there's not a hundred at FA/GA grade and there's over twelve hundred that are unassessed. With Wikipedia being one of the major information reference points in the world today we should consider this unacceptable. Much work needs to be done on the rating of the importance of articles as well. With more communication amongst participants and a dedication to addressing the articles on the to-do list I believe we can make this WikiProject one of the most well organized and thorough on the site. If you are interested in collaborative work with some of your fellow project members, have certain expertise on any particular subjects, ideals on/about the WikiProject, etc. simply drop your name under the "Project revision" section I've created on the project's talk page and state your intentions and main points of interest in our WikiProject and we can attempt to move forward from there. Hoping to hear from everyone soon! WikiGuy86 (talk) 03:07, 24 April 2017 (UTC)Reply
