Mugglecast Nomination for Deletion
MC - First of all, don't feel as though you've done anything wrong. Even if this does end up being deleted, you've made positive contributions. As to the deletion debate, first of all there was some confusion at the beginning regarding what people were discussing. Please do note that it's not a vote, it's a discussion. This means getting a bunch of people to come and say "keep, I love it" won't help. The thing that people will be looking for is proof of notability. What's it's alexa rank, has it been mentioned in any media, is it reviewed anywhere, has it been a Yahoo Pick, how many members does it have in it's forum, etc. If it gets close to the end of the debate and it looks like it might get deleted, ask me and I'll move it into your user space (a.k.a. user-fying) so that no matter what you'll get to keep what you've worked on. Have a look at WP:NOT and WP:WEB, and good luck! brenneman (t) (c) 04:47, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Reply to Deletion Nomination
If you want to know about it's popularity or whatever, I have plenty of sources!

Mugglecast is a very popular podcast from Mugglenet.com,(http://www.mugglenet.com/) which does have it's own Wiki page. Mugglenet gets millions of users a month, from hundreds of countries.

It's been on Yahoo a few times, here are the links. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/051108/sftu076.html?.v=35 http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/051102/25187.html?.v=1

Also, it's been mentioned repeatedly by the CEO of iTunes, for example, it's in their newsletter this week.

http://www.mugglenet.com/mugglecast/ITunesNewsletter.shtml

70,000 people are subscribed to Mugglecast on iTunes, and it has always been at LEAST in the top 60 podcasts, usually much higher though. The first month it was on iTunes, it was #1.

On it's Frappr, which is a Google map where you can post shout outs and such, Mugglecast has almost 3000 different people: http://www.frappr.com/mugglecast

Also, on the official fanlisting, that just came out 2 days ago, there are already about 100 people and 525 different posts.

Mugglecast is also hosting a big Barnes and Nobles Live Podcast in NYC, where it is estimated 700 fans alone will be there.

If you want more proof, I can find it, but I assure you, Mugglecast is VERY VERY popular. :)

Please allow the entry. :/

Mamatha - Ok, the place to put these is at Articles for deletion/MuggleCast. When you do, try to be as concise as possible. People will be inlfuenced by how you present your case as much as by what you present. For example, instead of putting: http://www.mugglenet.com/mugglecast/ITunesNewsletter.shtml, put square brackets around it, a space and a short description, then the closing square bracket like this: mugglecast ITunesNewsletter. Squish everything above, plus anything else you think will help, into around 200 words and put it at the link above. Use the preview key several times, make it look as good as you kind. People are then going to talk about the evidence you've presented, say what they think, present other evidence, cite wikipedia policy. Nominates for deletion can be very very rough, it's the second worst place to find yourself on Wikipedia. People will think better of you if you present your case calmly, in disspassionate language. Also resist the urge to reply to every person who says anything, that almost never helps. Maybe even only look at the debate once a day, it can be too stressfull otherwise. And, as a fair notice, I will probably be arguing against you. I haven't looked at the links you've provided, but I'm tough on podcasts. Oh, and sign your name using ~, too! brenneman (t) (c) 05:26, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Ericsixflags.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ericsixflags.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Image Tagging Image:Ericcrazy.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ericcrazy.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- Longhair 10:32, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Glenn McGee.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Glenn McGee.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? dave pape (talk) 04:05, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Glenn McGee.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Glenn McGee.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:18, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
