Fair use rationale for Image:Homerun_poster.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Homerun_poster.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 16:19, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

 * It's been really tough getting back in the mood; in the past spending too much time was a problem. But now seems ripe though! It definitely has changed; 'twas a bit sad reading stuff about the Wikipedian community (as well as the Singaporean subcommunity) in both the local and world news but not being in it.

Big Saltine
Thanks for your intervention in this matter. I'm very new at this, and you've been around a long time, and so I value both your judgment and your knowledge of the way things are/have been. I think there might be a little bit more of the vandal in this young man's character than you may have seen -- I'm extremely pessimistic about the possibility of getting anything useable from his contributions -- but I would like to think that one of the guiding principles of Wikipedia is that we try to include everyone, and I feel a little bad that I didn't try harder to include this individual. I wish you well in working with him, if you care to, and if there's something I can do to be of assistance, in this respect or in any other, you have but to ask.

Singapore girls school
The reason I removed the earring comment is because it has been changed back and forth several times over the past couple months. Rather than there being ongoing flip-flopping, I removed it; surely there is a dress code posted on the school's website that could be used to source this. As for the bra comment, I originally got involved with this page because someone was spreading their fetish across wikipedia like mustard across a delicious, delicious ham sandwich; ergo, I've taken a dim view of those whose exclusive actions on wikipedia are to focus on the color of sports bras in Singaporean girls' schools. The page gets an unduly amount of attention on those particular items. WLU (talk) 22:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the bra colour issue was in the national news a while ago -- in some schools, if one wore one of a forbidden colour, the bra was confiscated (and the student is supplied with a replacement -- or in some cases, none at all). It's not so much as a fetish issue as one that has hit national attention. The entire revert war is rather trivial, anyhow. I've never attended NYGH, but I am sure it can be easily sourced, if it is worth the bother. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais  (Be eudaimonic!) 23:50, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
 * And if fetish boy had added said national news story, I would have wikified his work and let it be, but he (or she) just kept spamming redundant, unnecessary info about bras. The user in question had mostly edits to S&M pages and many other contributions were just adding spurious info about bras and sports bras to various pages related to Singaporean girls wearing uniforms.  Anyway, the revert war over the earrings was what I was referring to above, I don't really care either way but the fact that people keep saying earrings are allowed/no they're not means (in my mind) the info should stay out until it's sourced.  That whole bra thing would be actually a good addition were any news stories to mention NYGH specifically, so I might even google it.  Huzzah!  For once I'm adding content rather than just editing pre-existing!  Thanks for the clarification of the issue, it actually explains things somewhat.  WLU (talk) 00:02, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Stymied! No dress code appears to be on-line extant, which seems odd.  Anyway, if you feel strongly that the earring or bra info should stay up, I don't feel so strongly as to argue about it.  Thanks for the clarification though.  WLU (talk) 00:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh interesting. I never checked the contribs of our anonymous contributor. The news story was while ago (a year I think), and as I recall, the schools involved weren't identified but there was strong suspicion one of them was NYGH. I need to google this again. Anyway, since I know some people from NYGH, I might go ask them. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais  (Be eudaimonic!) 00:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, without a reliable source beyond off-line people from NYGH, the revert wars may linger like a dead woodchuck under the porch. Though you could probably cite any material sent home with said students... On-line sources are my preference, but paper still works.  I don't care either way about earrings or bras, I just don't want fetish-boy mustarding all over wikipedia (blatant plug of my essay) and the reverting is just kinda silly.

Auschwitz (& in general) lengthily protection violates policy
The discussion came up in a few last comments to the contention, whether Wikipedia allows to present a controversy in a neutral manner, or - not. My point has been that NPOV allows it in the sentence "Debates within topics are described, represented and characterized...". Also, WP:LEAD explicitly advocates "briefly describing its [topic's] notable controversies", which "Holocaust revisionism" definitely is. Do you think that an opposition to unprotecting Auschwitz has been defeated successfully, so it can actually be implemented, or they just abandoned the discussion at Wp:an, please? Sincerely, -70.18.5.219 (talk) 20:57, 25 November 2007 (UTC)


 * As the protecting admin, I will comment: The article Auschwitz concentration camp and some other articles, mainly but not exclusively related to the holocaust, have in the past been the targets of persistent, ongoing and offensive vandalism by unregistered users. The object of the protection is to prevent this. Any registered editor who has been a wikipedia member for a few days can edit this article. I see no reason to allow vandals to do so. The policy to indefinitely protect this and related articles was agreed by community consensus after extensive discussion, and I see no reason why this decision should be questioned at this time. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 21:06, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

BISMUN Deletion
First of all I will say that it is not my school. Secondly, I don't see how you can say that it is not warranted since it does not fit on the Model UN page. It is a description of a current MUN conference, not a description of what MUN actually is. There is a page consisting of the Harvard MUN conference, why not the Bath one considering it is the largest conference in the UK.

Replaceable fair use Image:OutramMRT_surroundings.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:OutramMRT_surroundings.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.

Orphaned non-free image File:PAPcandidates 1959.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:PAPcandidates 1959.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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 07:34, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Weiqi-alcb.PNG
A tag has been placed on File:Weiqi-alcb.PNG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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.

Revision to Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri articles
I noticed that you have revised either Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri or Sid Meier's Alien Crossfire.

I intend to revise those articles following the WikiProject Video games/Article guidelines. There are more details on the discussion pages of those articles. I'd be interested in any comments you have. It would be best if your comments were on the discussion pages of the two articles.

Thank you.
