Orphaned non-free image (Image:Rambo IV poster.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Rambo IV poster.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

Location maps
Would you consider dual-licensing your contributions to Location map and related templates under the cc-by 2.5 license so i could use them on the english wikinews? Happy editing. Bawolff 00:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for responding. No, cc-by-sa-2.0 is not compatible with cc-by 2.5. Thanks anyways, and happy editing.

Chicago Landmark WP:FLC
You helped us at WP:CHICOTW create and improve List of Chicago Landmarks. This week we have nominated it at Featured list candidates/List of Chicago Landmarks. Feel free to make comments about its candidacy or to come by and help respond to the comments of others. TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 00:27, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Space music
Hi. It seems like you have an interest in ambient music. I wonder if you wouldn't mind taking a look at Space music when you get a chance. There is currently an ongoing issue there with one editor trying to suggest that space music is not a genre of ambient - and the discussion would certainly benefit from outside opinions by knowledgeable parties. --Gene_poole 07:18, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

More help needed
If you have been following along at WP:FLC you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve WP:FLC status. Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created. We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands.

Some of you may also be following the success of WP:CHICOTW at WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles. For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active. Thus, I am fearful that Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Harold Washington Cultural Center, Crown Fountain, & Art Institute of Chicago Building will all fail at WP:GAC when their turns come up. Also, Magnificent Mile did not experience the collaborative spirit. Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake. In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.

Request
You may have noticed that LJS and the good capt have settled their differences in the face of an external threat, leading to various squabbles amongst WikiSheff pages, Tinsley Viaduct (cf the coords subpage) being the first one with various spin-offs such as Hicks Building, Meersbrook, 4 or 5 in all. I asked here for advice; there is also an RfA here. I wondered whether you perceive any disruption and/or edit warring; and if so whether you might consider banning him from either the specific pages or all pages within WikiSheff. (He does good work when he's not arguing.) -- roundhouse0 22:39, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Zoo-movie.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Zoo-movie.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

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.

Sheffield - Demography
Hello again JeremyA, I hope all is well.

On the Sheffield article (which I know you've personally worked very hard on), would you object to the expansion of the "Demography" sub-section with a "comparison table" (see Manchester for an example) and it being given a full "section" status.

My logic is that whilst Demography is part of Geography, so really is Economy, Transport, Governance etc. And the new WP:UKCITIES guidelines ask for a seperate section because the wider WP:CITIES asks for this (often for FA standard), and these were built from consensus from a large communal editor base. I'd also like to see it have its own section on Demography because Sheffield is often used as THE example when it comes to writing settlements.

I will try to work on a comparison table, but do let me know your thoughts. Jza84 00:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've added some tables to the article - I think they are very useful to the article and hope they are well received. Jza84 00:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Jza84. Sorry Jeremy for using your discussion page to speak to Jza but wanted to congratulate him and you for the demogrphy section of the Sheffield article. I was looking at the section header and feared it'd be yet more anti-Sheffield bias but was pleased to see a truly neutral yet favorable section on the demography of Sheffield. I would like to however, place reservations on some of the wordings such as white which might benefit from an update to Caucasian if it this precise term that is meant. Once again good work and why not create Demography of Sheffield as it has been done for the economy, history and several others. Regards, Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons 11:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * My inclination is to go with whatever terminology the source uses. It is unclear to me whether or not the term white, as used by the 2001 census, is directly interchangeable with caucasian. Demography of Sheffield could be a redirect to People of Sheffield (or vice versa), although I think that People of Sheffield could do with a major rewrite (I made a half-hearted attempt to fix it back in 2006). —Jeremy (talk) 14:40, 19 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I was only mildly concerned by the state of political correctness we live in where many racial names are no longer used so as to not offend anyone, although white could encompass people originary from say the mediterranean, Caucasian is the PC term I understand (I hope I'm not digging a hole here). People of Sheffield doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the Sheffield articles, what with Geography, History, Tranport, it seemed People was out of place/character.

Mark Gasser
I have spent a lot of time researching this pianist. The source was a reliable one and is published by Sheffield City Council. I am currently writing this from Australia. It seems ludicrous that you have now said that this is an unreliable article and have said there are no sources. Gasser is one of the most important pianists of his generation and there are links to many reviews from major newspapers worldwide in the review section. I would appreciate it if you restore my work as there is no conflict here.

kind regards

Bobby Fred

mark gasser
Hi Jeremy,

He is obviously amongst the most respected alumni as he is a fellow of both institutes and gained the highest ever marks in the history of the Birmingham Conservatoire (see CQCM website.

He is world renowned and has had many articles written about him in every major paper going. If you object to the word I shall remove it - however judging from the reviews (which ARE needed) this could not be argued otherwise.

Please let me know what you think

cheers

mark gasser
the reviews should count as references as this is how living performers achieve their name. The independent is about the longest piece of music ever written. On the CQCM website it tells of how Gasser received standing ovations at Carnegie Hall, The Wigmore Hall (UK) and Melbourne town hall etc - all backed up in the reviews. I think this is enough to justify the comments. I have removed the other words as they are unimportant.

cheers

P>S The reviews are references to the calibre of a living artist and are therfore valid.

Chicago Meetup
I am not sure if you live in Chicagoland. If not I apologize for the following message. I hope the time and place for the Chicago Meetup are convenient. Your reply would be appreciated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 19:36, 17 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for coming out. I was looking at Sheffield. What software do you need to "read" a .ogg file? How do you create one? I forgot to remind you to take a look at WP:CHIASSESS and vote if you get a chance.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 15:40, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:GBvosi
I noticed your comment at Template talk:GBvosi regarding the breakage in that template. I thought you might be interested to know that the template has been brought back to life so a direct coordinate link can be given to the www.old-maps.co.uk site once again. --DavidCane 23:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Whilst it is possible to zoom in on the 1:10,560 scale images once one's at the old-maps site, I haven't found a way of going directly to a enlargement in the way that GBvoss did. I have this evening gone through all the articles that used the old GBvoss template (there were only eleven) and modified them to use GBvosi. I have also redirected GBvoss to point at GBvosi.
 * I am also hoping that it might be possible to specify links to one of the later maps shown across the bottom of the screen. I'm going to try and decipher the java script behind the page to see if there might be any clues there as to if this is possible. --DavidCane 00:49, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

voting and ogg
Did you produce the .ogg file at Sheffield? I should mention that you only placed 3 of the 4 votes you are entitled to for Top-Importance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TonyTheTiger (talk • contribs) 00:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Scott Reed
Curious to know why you deleted this? Your explanation doesn't include my verifiable credits for several top comics publishers, in books that have been published world-wide. There are also various instances in Wikipedia where my name is linked from, I think. Both of these should be enough to confirm notability?

time-lapse
I have read the rules, which one exactly is being broken? And isn't Wikipedia whatever we make it? How is what is being done hurting you and who made you the boss of Wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.8.97 (talk) 23:30, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Time Lapse 2
What is wrong with having a few links up there? Have you actually looked at the links that you keep removing? I don't think any of them violate "the rules". I think it would be good for a page about time lapse photography to have to links to some examples of time lapse photography, don't you think? Oh and just to clarify, I am not adding the links, merely undoing the removal.

Time Lapse 3
I feel that the two examples of time lapse photography on the page are quite poor and uninteresting, and I when I think of time lapse photography I certainly don't think of a flower opening nor a piece of fruit rotting. Even the page states other examples of time lapse photography, such as: cloudscapes and celestial motion, evolution of a construction project and people in the city. You seems fairly adamant at removing all of the external links on the page, why don't you remove the ones in the "HDR Time-lapse" section? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.214.8.97 (talk) 02:35, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Zoo-movie.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Zoo-movie.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, 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 tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, 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. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jackaranga 21:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Graphic design question
Hello again JeremyA! I hope all is well.

As the title suggests, I have a question of a graphic design nature which I hope you can help with... I came across your beautifully rendered Sheffield Urban Area map and wondered how exactly you'd produced the railways? Is it done in Adobe Illustrator? I presume its a bespoke brush you've made? It'd be great if I could obtain this knowledge and roll it out for the entire country's infobox map system! Hope you can help, -- Jza84 · (talk) 22:51, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the block.

Apparently not. Kelvinc (talk) 03:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Zenith88
Why has the article on Fulwood village, Yorkshire been removed? It is quite different to other Sheffield 'districts,' having a very keen sense of its own separate identity from the city of Sheffield itself. It is wrong to lump it together with Sheffield suburbs when it is a distinct place in its own right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.32.126.14 (talk) 15:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Jeremy - I dropped you a note at Commons about the above image. I think it's odd that you would strike through the license provided by the uploader, then drop a standard warning on their talk page that the image has no license. (No need to reply here if you reply at Commons, I watchlisted your talk page there.) Videmus Omnia Talk  15:53, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
