Speedy deletion nomination of Dina Rae (recording artist)


A tag has been placed on Dina Rae (recording artist), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Signature glitch
I changed my signatures colours from pink and grey to purple and black but it shows them in a dark blue, any idea for this glitch? Kandi well 18:51, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * , you've closed the colour tag before using the colour, it should be  I've changed it in your sig above, but you'll have to change it in your sig settings for it to be correct every time. Primefac (talk) 18:58, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help, it came up saying I had an invalaid raw signature thing whatever that means Kandiwell 19:14, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * If I had to guess, it's because you didn't close the font color after you used it ;-) You should use font color, as it doesn't deal with any HTML syntax and you know exactly where it ends. Ignore that, I forgot sigs can't have templates. Primefac (talk) 19:16, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Instead, you can use this code:  Huon (talk) 19:23, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

HHVM
I saw something that showed someone's edit was using HHMV, what is it and where can I get it from please? Thank you in advance Kandi  well  21:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hey Kandiwell. Please see HHVM/About. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:50, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, (God you do not know how much I love your user name =D) thanks I've read about it and have tried to download it but my computer's decided it'll go at a snails pace; (I'll be about 240 when it's finished downloading itself) but thank you for all your help too.

Linking to a file
I notice that on your user page you had trouble linking to File:Dina Rae (recording artist).jpg. The secret is to put a colon before File thus File:Dina Rae (recording artist).jpg.

You do the same thing if want to link to a category rather than put a page into a category. For example Category:West Coast hip hop musicians is Category:West Coast hip hop musicians. —teb728 t c 21:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Just a quick reply before I go to bed, thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction; I was going to do it tomorrow but I didn't want to look ungrateful and did it and gave you a quick courtesy reply to show my appreciation for your help, have a fab weekend and I hope I bump into you again on here in the near future Kandi  well  21:21, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Abuse Logs
I was just going through my account (edit contributions etc.) and saw a section called "Abuse logs" and some of my edits to the Dina Rae (recording artist) page came up as abuse; how can that even be possible as I'm the one who made that article? If anyone who knows can you please shine a light on it? Many thanks Kandi  well  21:31, 11 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Those "abuse filters" are automated filters that tag edits that may be problematic. They're rather simple and somewhat error-prone; thus they generally don't disallow an edit but merely tag it so that other editors can see whether it's indeed vandalism or not. I won't go into detail, but the titles of rap songs tend to contain words that in other contexts are likely not encyclopedic. Also, it's entirely possible for a vandal to make abusive edits on an article they created themselves, so the edit filter doesn't have an exception for article creators. Other edits were tagged because you removed deletion tags, something that is indeed inappropriate. Huon (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply been meaning to get back to you about it; I think I understand so if soneone edited say for example Eminem's Ass Like That it would pick up abuse cause of ass right...? Kandi  well  15:13, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * As I said I won't go into detail (the filters aren't public for good reason), but that's the basic principle, yes. Huon (talk) 15:18, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * S'all good now thanks =D Kandi  well  15:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dina Rae (recording artist).jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Dina Rae (recording artist).jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 10:36, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Dina Rae/Admin
I thought I'd respond here, as to not get too off topic. Sorry to disappoint, but I'm actually not a fan (or rather, I don't recall ever specifically hearing her music, though its not really my kind of genre of music, so I assume I probably wouldn't be a fan). I do edit a lot in video games and (rock) music articles, and I was going through the speedy deletion backlog, and came across Rae's article. Sometimes, when I decline articles, I try to clean them up a bit. And, if its in the realm of music/games, I tend to stick around for the deletion debates, even if they're not something I like. I try to apply the rules evenly to everything, not just things I like. :)

Anyways, keep trying to some sources on her. Her charting was enough to dismiss a speedy deletion, but it'll probably take more sources that discuss her to sway people in an actual deletion debate. Sergecross73  msg me  15:26, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * thanks for the comment; I'll try my best to find as many sources as I can; however the only negative is this; if you Google, Ask Jeeves etc. "Dina Rae" you find some of her YouTube videos like this one, her debut single And? (you might like it it's more of a '00s hip hop/R&B sounding song) and her Twitter, MySpace, YouTube account and her bandcamp website and Eminem fansites and also a author who shares the same name (Dina Rae) as it tends to pick up about the author more than the R&B singer which I find weird as the singer has been around since '99 a good 16 years compared to the author, mind you to be honest I can't delve into the authors background as much as the singers it mainly talks about her books more than the author itself, should I mention that on the AfD? Kandi  well  17:37, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk sell this CD called "Kiss: "Hot Joints 2" and it features the Erick Sermon remix of "And?", the album was released in 2004 - the same year as the single "And?"; also if by any chance Motown's official website had any information of Dina Rae as she is a former artist would that count as a reliable source; it may have a more in depth biography etc. should I have a look there? Kandi  well  17:55, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * just out of interest, how did you manage to become an admin on here? I'd like to in the near future and just want to know how to go around it really Kandi  well  20:41, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi Kandiwell. Sorry I didn't respond sooner. You become an Admin by doing a Request for Adminship. However, I really wouldn't rush into that. It can be a rather harsh process. A lot of people give a lot of negative feedback, and have very high standards. Most want you to be around for a few years and have 10,000 edits, and a bunch of other things. So yeah...I don't want to scare you away or anything. Its a good goal...but its really much more of a "long term goal". Sergecross73   msg me  02:50, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * thanks for the heads up, I don't know what to say and I doubt I will in a few years but what are some of the negative feedbacks (if you know any) that are usually given..... Just so it could give me time to digest it all really Kandi  well  15:07, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * If you check out WP:RFA, it appears there's someone right now who's not having much luck with the process. (No offense, if that person somehow manages to stumble upon this comment.) Also, here's the archives of all the ones that didn't go well, and conversely, ones that did go well. If you check out some of those, you can see the types of questions they ask, and what kinds of answers they expect (or don't like). It just takes a lot of knowledge on policy and how to handle disputes, which is why they usually recommend a lot of time spent editing and getting to know the website first... Sergecross73   msg me  15:44, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Will do thanks; I'd laugh if they did stumble across your comment ( not being nasty; but it would be proper jokes ), any ways how's you? Kandi  well  16:48, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Uploading files
I feel like I have gone crazy; I'm trying to upload several photos (one for the Ally's World article that I've added input to and to my Dina Rae (recording artist) article and every time I go to the search bar to input the name I want to call my file; like I did when I uploaded my first picture of Dina Rae for some reason it won't show how to upload it onto Wikipedia, it just throws random red words saying it doesn't exist or did I mean blah-de-blah file? (not those words exactly but you get my drift?) is the system down on uploading photos or am I going bonkers? Many thanks to whoever can help me =D Kandi  well  18:05, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 *  UPDATE


 * Here's what the message I've recieved when I've tried to search for a file to create:

Did you mean: file:Allies World series.jpg There were no results matching the query.

Create the page "File:Ally's World series.jpg" on this wiki! Does anyone else get this same problem too? Kandi well  18:11, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Images are somewhat tricky due to copyright issues. Where did you get those images? If you took a photo of Dina Rae yourself and are willing to release it under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes, you can upload it to the Wikimedia Commons via their Upload Wizard. The Commons only accept freely licensed images, however. The use of non-free images on Wikipedia is governed by the non-free content criteria; such images must be uploaded to Wikipedia itself, not the Commons; they may only be used in articles; only minimal use of low-resolution (at most 100,000 pixels) is allowed; and for every single article where such an image shall be displayed we need to provide a rationale why showing the image on that page constitutes fair use. Using a book cover in the infobox of the article on the book would be one such fair use. You can upload them via the File Upload Wizard; a link to the Wizard can be found in the left sidebar under "Upload file".
 * All that said, images aren't what the Ally's World article needs most. Rather, it should be rewritten almost entirely to drastically shorten the excessive character list and instead demonstrate the real-world significance of those books, based on reviews published in the likes of the Times Literary Supplement or in newspapers. See also WP:PLOT. Huon (talk) 18:22, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The pitures are from Amazon.co.uk's website and various Google Images searches all compressed on Paint (don't know how to use Photoshop and Paint is proper easy to use - in my opinion) and what I did is this, you know the Wikipedia search bar? I typed in "file:Ally's World series.jpg" (I saved it as that on Paint), then for some reason in red this came up:

Did you mean: file:Allies World series.jpg There were no results matching the query.

Create the page "File:Ally's World series.jpg" on this wiki! I found it odd really, I tried the same to do that of Dina Rae and Eminem performing together (I had the DVD on pause and took the photo on my iPhone and uploaded it onto my computer and typed "file:Eminem and Dina Rae LIVE Anger Management Tour 2002.jpg" and I got the same message as the above Ally's World message; I don't understand what's happened Kandi  well  19:21, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * That link would allow you to creat a page in the "File" namespace, but not to upload an image. You can instead use the various Upload Wizard links I gave you above to upload files. The book cover from Amazon would probably be covered by fair use and can be uploaded to Wikipedia, but not the Commons. The image from the DVD, however, will not be usable on Wikipedia because you don't own the copyright and Wikipedia does not accept non-free images of living persons. Huon (talk) 19:35, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't want to sound ungrateful; thank you for the help and I found a way how to upload the artwork (and have saved the link to my favourites), thank you for helping me I truly, truly, truly mean it Kandi  well  19:37, 14 June 2015 (UTC)


 * when you get a minute can you please have a look at these files for me please? (see below:)

Apparently they fail some NFG thing but I only did what File:Sims 2 covers.jpeg did and uploaded all of the titles in the main Ally's World (and all of the Diary of a Chav/Snob books) maybe I've missed something can you please just point me in the right direction when you get a sec? Many thanks Kandi  well  12:23, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * File:Ally's World.jpg
 * File:Diary of a Chav books 1 - 6.png
 * File:Diary of a Snob books 1 - 2.png


 * I'd say this is a borderline case. For example, the general layout of the Diary of a Chav book covers could just as well be illustrated with a single example - they're not really all that different. What I'm much more concerned about is that you completely ignored several important pieces of advice I gave you, including the one about image size and the one about how the Dina Rae image would not be usable. And those book covers are Crown Copyright? Really? I rather doubt that, too. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously; please make sure that your edits in that araea conform to our policies and guidelines and that the information you provide is correct. Huon (talk) 01:54, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * thanks for the reply, I'll reduce it to the Trainers V. Tiaras cover (the pink one) when I get back home and I've just read up on Crown Copyright (I thought it was a UK copyright publisher if I'm being honest and the original Dina Rae photo has been deleted and replaced with a promotional poster that came with a 2004 Motown promo CD that had "And?" her debut single on it, but what's wrong with the sizing of the covers? I copied and pasted them from Amazon's website and made the paint document fit all six of them can you just give me some pointers so I can digest it for when I get home and upload the cover please? Many thanks and sorry for the confusion. Kandi  well  03:24, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Crown copyright would mean that the copyright is owned by the British Crown (ie the state). It's used for some types of British government publications and has some rather specific clauses not present in regular British copyright (for example, the copyright term ends sooner). I rather doubt the copyrights for those book covers aren't private property. Regarding the covers, as I mentioned above, use of non-free images should be restricted to a minimum, and of low resolution; less than 100,000 pixels is explicitly mentioned in guidelines. None of your three cover images met that standard. That was offset by the fact that you created collages, not single non-free images - as I said, they were somwhere along the borderline of what's acceptable. But please either familiarize yourself with the guidelines on non-free content, or if in doubt, ask before you upload non-free images. Huon (talk) 00:35, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Regarding the resizing of images, I usually simply google something like "free image resizer" and pick a website that allows me to resize images online. Huon (talk) 20:56, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Dina Rae in a Blue Mini Dress.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Dina Rae in a Blue Mini Dress.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. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —teb728 t c 00:22, 22 June 2015 (UTC)


 * that file is a promo photo of her, it is a cropped photo of a poster that came with a Motown promotional CD that featured her single "And?" on it wouldn't the non free content cover it? Kandi  well  07:10, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * No, The non-free content policy says, "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose." Since Dina Rae is a living person, an equivalent free photo of her surely could be created (if one does not already exist). —teb728 t c 07:29, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

Create a Portal

 * Anybody who is any good at it; can they help me please? What I want to do is a Portal to Dina Rae (singer) and would like someone to help me with it; I'd like the background to be purple and the font to be white and I'd like to add some pictures and some of the info from her page to it; anyone who knows what to do let me know, many thanks Kandi  well  22:23, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. IF I don't answer tonight, please don't get offended I'll be asleep but will message you back when I can =)


 * I rather don't think a portal should be a high priority right now. The fate of the article on Dina Rae is still being discussed, and the articles on her music largely cite unreliable sources. Improving the articles to a level where they clearly establish their respective topics' notability should be the first priority. Also, there's not really enough content on Dina Rae to warrant a portal. In total we have four articles? For the likes of Portal:Rihanna or Portal:Eminem, we're somewhere beyond 40, and those are small portals. WP:Portal has some information on how to set up portals, but if you check out the "How to make a good portal" section you'll find that some components simply do not exist for Dina Rae, and having a portal about her would effectively amount to an elaborate duplicate of the article.

images deleted
Kandiwell, I've deleted Dina Rae.png and File:Eminem & Dina Rae perfoming Superman Live in Detriot during The Anger Management Tour in 2002.png. Please don't upload images like these with obviously incorrect licenses. It's not a productive use of anyone's time - Peripitus (Talk) 12:15, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I was watching the DVD and paused it and took the photo from there, what licencing should I have used? Kandi  well  12:37, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

None in this case as there is no way we can use the images. Images taken from DVDs are copyrighted and must be marked as such. Copyrighted images of living people are almost never used here as they can be replaced by a free image. They fail the first non-free content criteria - Peripitus (Talk) 08:23, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Dina Rae.png
Thanks for uploading File:Dina Rae.png. 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. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —teb728 t c 22:17, 23 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Ambox warning.svg Please stop uploading non-free images of living people. I explained the policy in my reply to your question at above.

File permission problem with File:Dina Rae (cropped).png
Thanks for uploading File:Dina Rae (cropped).png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —teb728 t c 08:01, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Cropping a non-free image does not make it free. If you keep this up, the admins are apt to block you from editing Wikipedia. —teb728 t c 08:13, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove file deletion tags from file description pages on Wikipedia, as you did to File:Diary of a Chav books 1 - 6.png, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. ''The file is still at Files for Deletion. Removing the tag will not stop the FfD process. It the closing admin decides to keep the file, he/she will remove the tag. '' —teb728 t c 08:51, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

The same goes for File:Diary of a Snob books 1 - 2.png. —teb728 t c 09:02, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

In reply to your question at File talk:Dina Rae (cropped).png
You said you hoped to find a copy of the photo on a fan’s site and that you intended to upload it from that site. And you asked what tag template to use. I replied there, but I am reposting my reply here because I fear it will be deleted (along with the file) before you get a chance to read it:
 * Please do not upload it once you've found it on a fan's site. It will still be unusable. The photo was obviously taken by a professional photographer (probably one working for Motown). He/she (or possibly Motown) owns the copyright on the photo and has not licensed it under a free license. It doesn't matter if the photo is now hosted on a fan's site: it is still non-free.
 * Since it is a non-free photo of a living person, it can't be used on Wikipedia. This has been explained to you several times; what is there about that which you don't understand?!
 * Since there is no use on Wikipedia for a non-free image of a living person; there is no template for it.
 * The easiest way to get a get a usable photo of Dina Rae is to go to Los Angeles or New York or wherever she is living or appearing, and take your own snapshot of her. Then you would be the copyright owner, and you could license it under whatever free license you choose. Then the template would be the tag for your free license.
