Face the facts, flopbird!
Velasquez rose to fame as she conquered every stage, from the free concerts in UP Diliman, appearances in the Folk Arts Theater, to the Araneta Coliseum. From 1999 to early 2000, Velasquez filled each and every seat in all her concerts. In 2004, her concert Reigning Still... was a major disappointment, with over 40% of the seating capacity filled, becoming the lowest-selling concert in the Araneta Coliseum, and in Philippine history, prompting her then-label VIVA Entertainment to buy out her contract for 20 million pesos, despite the multi-platinum status of her album Covers. Velasquez was forced to redeem herself with the release of Covers 2, which was the sequel to the highly-successful album she released previously. Covers 2 became Velasquez' lowest-selling album at that time, and was slammed by the critics, calling Velasquez "unoriginal" and "predictable". Due to this incident, Velasquez settled for the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC), more commonly known as the Ultra, in both her solo and joint concerts. After a series of moderate ticket sales, Velasquez returned to the stage in a series of shows in the ALIW Theater, a concert venue that is 25% seating capacity of the Araneta Coliseum, and signed with ARIA Productions, after being dropped by VIVA. Ticket revenues of her concerts were again less than stellar, prompting Velasquez to promote further in the United States, to overseas Filipino workers and Filipino tourists abroad. As of 2009, after the commercial disappointment of Low Key, which performed poorly compared to the successful R2K and Covers, Velasquez and her management has booked all her future concerts in the SM North EDSA Theaters, a concert venue that is 15% that of the Araneta Coliseum.

Image copyright problem with Image:Regv.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Regv.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 12:19, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Millenium regine.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Millenium regine.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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 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. Stifle (talk) 20:47, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Regine-Carnegie-1991.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Regine-Carnegie-1991.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 23:20, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Millenium regine.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Millenium regine.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.  F ASTILYsock (T ALK ) 23:20, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
