License tagging for Image:Addisonpic.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Addisonpic.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:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

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 Media copyright questions. 17:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Addison (band)
If you really insist, I can undelete this and take it to Afd, but I don't think it's a good idea. Articles get deleted all the time, please don't take it personally. There are millions of working bands in the world, but few of them are encyclopedic. Take a look at WP:MUSIC for some guidelines (only guidelines, not rules, mind you) about band articles. Basically, someone who's about to release their first indie EP is still a couple notches off from what we include here, with possible exceptions for a newly-formed band that's full of famous people, for example. Hope this helps. Friday (talk) 17:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not about how stupid or cool something is- in fact, that's exactly the kind of judgment we do not make here. And, it's not about who trumps who.  Your band may be the best in the world, but it doesn't matter.  Articles absolutely must be verifiable.  I nominated it for deletion the slow way, but this will probably only result in you seeing lots of people call your band "not notable" or other similiar words.  If you wish, you can short-circuit the deletion process simply by agreeing to have the article deleted.  Or, if these guys are in fact getting major media coverage, it doesn't need to be deleted at all- in this case, the article would be suitable for an encyclopedia.

 * Don't sweat it, lots of people don't see at first what exactly we do here. FWIW, my own band has our own wiki, independant from wikipedia- we use it for song lists and whatnot.  There may be sites out there that let you host one for free, like wikicities.  I'll go ahead and delete it then- thanks for being understanding.  Friday (talk) 17:26, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

namespaces
I think some of your being irked is due to not understanding what we call namespaces here. Things like No angry mastodons aren't articles- they're in "project space". Same with people's user pages, those are in user space. We maintain (or try to) encyclopedic standards in article space that we do not apply elsewhere. Friday (talk) 17:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
