User talk:Curtsurly

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:


 * If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself.
 * Read the article describing how to edit a page and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox.
 * When editing pages, use the preview button before submitting and try to fill in the summary box for every edit.
 * Eventually, read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines.
 * If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page.
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Good luck! Jrdioko

P.S. One last helpful hint. To sign your posts like I did above (on talk pages, for example) use the '~' symbol. To insert just your name, type (3 tildes), or, to insert your name and timestamp, use ~ (4 tildes).

Image:NicoIcon.JPG
Why did you upload, and then immediately list for deletion, the above image? Also, what is its copyright status? &mdash; David Remahl 01:16, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Please respond. Now you have also uploaded Image:Nicoheroine.JPG. &mdash; David Remahl 01:30, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Add to that: ]Image:Nicoheroin.JPG. What are you doing? None of the images have been added to articles. This is starting to look like vandalism. Please stop / explain what you're doing, or the pictures may be deleted. You may be temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. &mdash; David Remahl 01:47, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for tagging the image with fairuse. You should use it in an article too, if you want to argue fair use. &mdash; David Remahl 01:53, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I can assure you it isn't vandalism. My intent was to add an image to Nico's Wikipedia page. I am wary of using images on line because of copyrights. I admit, I don't really understand copyright at this time. Nevertheless, I assumed, perhaps, erroneously, that I could scan an image of Nico from the CD, The Marble Index. When I uploaded it, it looked shoddy and I wanted to replace it. Instead of uploading a cleaner image, I listed it for deletion. Then, I cleaned up the image and uploaded it under a different name. All but the current image on the Nico page need to be deleted. There is, obviously, only one that is attached to a page.

I have learned how to navigate this more effectively. What I need to know is precisely how to legally secure the images for album covers, personalities, historical events that I need to improve my postings. I don't understand the extant explanations of the copyright laws as applicable to images and text on Wikipedia.

Finally, I uploaded an image of Boyd Rice for his site. The image is copyrighted to his web site. I emailed them and was informed by the man I spoke with that he could not personally give me permission. He did give me the name of the photographer, but nothing came up in a google search. I read that images of notable personalities (and I argue that Boyd Rice qualifies) fall under fairuse. I didn't know what else to do, so I left it as "unknown".

So, again, how do I safely copyright images from the web, as well as my own personal files? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your help,

Mishima photo
Please take a look at the Talk page for Yukio Mishima, I've warned you about the photo you put in that article. Crculver 18:33, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Category:Archivists
I believe archivist generally has a scholarly connotation and is an actual occupation (e.g. Stella Rimington). Judging from the people you've put in this category I gather you are thinking of something else. It's not obvious to me that this category follows the recommendations at categorization of people - on the other hand, it's not obvious that it doesn't. If you've read this page and think the category you're creating fits the recommendations how about renaming it somehow (renaming categories is kind of pain - it's basically create a new one and delete the old one)? Categories are in general meant to form a connected graph, so when creating categories please make an effort to put the new category in one or more higher level categories. All people categories should fit in someplace below category:people. -- Rick Block 04:00, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Category:Unpop Archivists
Hey, thanks for pointing that out. I started the Unpop Archivists page and simply gutted the first page of data. Then, I linked the Unpop category to the regular old Archivist category. Now, it is just up the the rest of the Wikiworld to add Archivists to the category. The new category is for the Unpop  and their direct antecedents.

I recognize that the popular definitions of "archivist" relate the utility of the position in a professional setting where one is "in charge" of the archives and is allowed to structure them in accordance with a strict set of guidelines. Unpop archivists merely collect and structure data that most folks just don't seem to have much use for in accordance with their own will and fancy. Again, I would have never hit on the idea if you hadn't of pointed out the error of me ways.

 * Would Category:Unpop Archivists fit as a subcategory of Category:Art movements? -- Rick Block 14:16, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Great Idea, Presumably
Sure, but I'm just creating a holding cell for various individuals who aren't necessarily part of any "movement". I will go ahead and include Unpop under the category you suggested, but I'm more interested in collecting folks who stand out for their audacious cuteness or cute audacity. The label "Unpop Archivist" might cause confusion because it isn't obvious at cursory glance just what it is. Even a look at the list is momentarily baffling. To me, a list of "the unpop" seems silly. There is no unpop movement. However, there are individuals who are independantly manufacturing hilarity out of readymade emotional states such as fear, lethargy and revulsion.

I agree that the list should probably have a conventional home. Your suggestion sounds shockingly sensible. It just goes against all the secret codes informing my DNA to follow Convention on her skidding, doomed course into oblivion. But, I will do everything I can to ensure that Unpop is legitimately Wikified and viable for the hopelessly Pop or Anti-Pop to find themselves in.

Current 93
Hi Curtsurly, thanks for your edits (adding table and more) on the Current 93 page, I appreciate it. :) --Demonslave 01:44, Oct 29, 2004 (UTC)

G.O.B.
I don't appreciate your overlaying my valid additions. If you want to INCORPORATE your new material, that's fine, but deleting what I added is unacceptable. RickK 20:52, Nov 18, 2004 (UTC)

It is Wikipedia standard policy to include the term "fictional character" in the first sentence of all fictional character articles. Please revert your deletions of my additions. RickK 20:39, Nov 19, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Arcade Fire
--How can you claim the Arcade Fire's Funeral was "fairly well received" when metacritic posts it as one of the highest-rated albums of 2004? Clearly, the vast majority of critics acclaimed it. --Jleon 15:48, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I changed it from "glowing" (not particularly NPOV) to "fairly good" and obviously erred on the side of modesty. Critical acclaim is subjective and has no bearing on the group's existence as an entity. I should have done away with it altogether. Curtsurly 04:59, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Image:Fiery_knight.JPG
Thank you for uploading Image:Fiery_knight.JPG. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Kevin McManus 21:30, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

cut and paste moves
Please do not move an article by copying its content into another article with the same name. This loses the revision history of the original article. I just spotted you doing this with Dickie Kerr / Dicky Kerr and undid the damage. Please use the "move" feature in the future when renaming an article. Kelly Martin 18:54, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)

Image:Everett and Fiends 3.JPG listed for deletion
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Everett and Fiends 3.JPG, has been listed at.

Thank you. —MetsBot 18:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use of photo "Fiery Knight"
Hi. "Fair use" does not apply to User: space, see Fair use. What this means is that you cannot have an image on your userpage that is tagged as "fair use". I'm removing it. If you would like to decorate your userpage, please only use images in the public domain or under a free liscense. Thanks. Jkelly 22:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

JNR Copyright
I don't know if this has been brought to your attention but some material from Jay Robert Nash's works were copied directly into WP see : Wikipedia Signpost/2006-04-24/Jay Robert Nash. I have seen that you've used some of his material for reference in WP, and since his books aren't accurate, it would be nice to double check your entries so that WP doesn't get sued about fake entries that were entered by users. In no way am I accusing you, if this doesn't touch you in any way please forget I ever mentioned this or help me try to erase fake entries and copyright edits. Lincher 02:44, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I am in no way an expert in organized crime subjects but entries should be double-checked. If you didn't litterally copy the info than WP is ok or it means it wasn't you who added the fake entries and we have to dig a little deeper. Maybe ask MadMax to help you in this.

Leone Bouvier
I have added a "" template to the article Leone Bouvier, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. Pascal.Tesson 02:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Look For the Woman
This article has been deleted as a blatant copyright violation. It is not permissible to simply list the contents of a reference work in this manner. If you have created other articles of this type, please let an admin know promptly so that they can be deleted as well.

Please do not do this again.--Jimbo Wales 21:36, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Music of the Near East
I've added the "prod" template to the article Music of the Near East, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Music of the Near East. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Willard-photo 09 hires.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Willard-photo 09 hires.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Phoenix Hacker 02:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Mukherji.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mukherji.jpg. 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, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then 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-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:GOBwithaJOB.JPG
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GOBwithaJOB.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 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.

Fair use disputed for Image:Image:FPYIMPERIUM.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Image:FPYIMPERIUM.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use.

Picture of Nico
Hi Curtsurly! Thanks for uploading an image of the beautiful Nico! However, I am skeptical about whether it falls under fair use or not. Are you sure that it's from the Marble Index inlay? If so, the image likely falls under non-free promotional. If not, we might still be able to put it under fair-use, but I'm not sure. - Face 14:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Thee Swank Bastards
A tag has been placed on Thee Swank Bastards requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Replaceable fair use File:FPYIMPERIUM.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:FPYIMPERIUM.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Replaceable fair use File:GOBwithaJOB.JPG
Thanks for uploading File:GOBwithaJOB.JPG. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy.
