Speedy Deletion of recent addition
Hi. New to Wikipedia. Just added my first page about the Derby band Plans and Apologies, but it is a candidate for deletion? What must I do to the article to make it suitable for Wikipedia? Thanks Gus Peterson 19:42, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm glad to see you created an article. There was nothing at all wrong with the article, in fact it is particularly good compared to most of the articles about bands that we get. However, I regret to advise you that Wikipedia does not accept articles about bands and other musical groups unless they are notable enough. We have a list of possible inclusion criteria at WP:MUSIC. If the band in fact meets one or more of these criteria, it would be a good idea to add details of that to the article and/or its talk page, citing reliable sources if you can. Stifle 19:46, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi - thanks for your help - the band satisfy the being featured prominently in a major music publication criteria (drowned in sound - an entry for which exists on Wikipedia), so will update the entry with this. Will check for any other criteria I can add too. Gus Peterson 20:08, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that Drowned in Sound qualifies as a major music publication (it does not appear in Category:Music magazines), however the debate has now gone to Articles for deletion/Plans and apologies and will be seen out there. Stifle 11:19, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've left a question there about whether they've been in NME or not. Please answer at that page, as I have 'watched' it (or on my talk page). Cheers! --kingboyk 08:52, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey mate. I hope you aren't too disheartened by the deletion of your article. It can't be very nice, but you grasped the reasons and were cool about it :-) There's plenty of leftfield and indie bands on here, so get stuck in with editing, or add some more if they meet WP:MUSIC. Be bold, don't let a setback get you down. See you around. --kingboyk 06:38, 8 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll pile on. Emerging bands and musicians are a tricky area on WP - people like to delete them. It's advisable to demonstrate notability upfront. One piece of advice I can give you, based on what I saw in Jeremy Warmsley - avoid redlinks, unless you're planning to imminently create them or unless they truly belong here but just didn't get here yet. Lots of red links looks bad, annoys readers, and subconsciously discredits the articles. Also, you did a great job paring EXERCISE1 Records after I brought in Stidson's bio. Shorter was definitely better in this case. Welcome again and see you around. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 18:15, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll keep that in mind about the redlinks in the future Gus Peterson 21:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Pandaz1.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Pandaz1.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. 23:09, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

- have corrected this, and tagged image correctly. Gus Peterson 23:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Images
Here is the tag that was attached to the image...I have undeleted it for now but it needs an appropriate tag:

Dear uploader: The media file you just uploaded has been listed for speedy deletion because you indicated that it is used by permission for Wikipedia only or for non-commercial use only. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such images can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is not the case. Please do not upload any more images with this restriction on them.

If you created this image and want it to be kept on Wikipedia, remove this message and replace this with to license it under the GFDL, or  to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use  to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this image but want it to be used on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may replace this message with one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this image. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.--MONGO 09:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Commercial use of Image:Twinthousands.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Twinthousands.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Twinthousands.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license GFDL-self to license it under the GFDL, or cc-by-sa-2.5 to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use PD-self to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Twinthousands.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 17:49, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ryan4.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ryan4.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. Until ( 1 == 2 )  05:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Jeremy Warmsley Live2.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Jeremy Warmsley Live2.JPG. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use 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 the fair use 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 fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use 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, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 20:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:50minutesFrontCover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:50minutesFrontCover.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. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Ex1 logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ex1 logo.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.

Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
