Disputed non-free use rationale for File:English edition of Deleuze&#39;s Cinema 1 (most recent).jpg

Speedy deletion nomination of David Bowie BBC Sessions


A tag has been placed on David Bowie BBC Sessions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.illustrated-db-discography.nl/BBC.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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 deleted 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.

December 2022
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Crimeface. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Please don't carry water for Stott. Drmies (talk) 04:18, 12 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Drmies. Thank you for the message, and the update to the page you mention. Sorry I haven’t got back to you sooner, but I didn’t notice your message at first, not until I got a second one from someone else on what I believe a related issue, if not the same, depending upon interpretation. Anyhow, it boils down to the tone of voice I sometimes can fall into. Having got these messages, I have now become conscious of this and fully accept it can be sub-par. With regard to the specific issue you came to me with. It was because of this page I got into looking at Stott’s work. Prior to this, for instance, I have done a lot of work on Bowie’s music videos and music films, going out and getting them all, and reading all the big discography books. I also did early Doctor Who strips in comics, and it took me a year to find them all either online or buying the things on auction on Ebay! I am now working on Nina Simone, and have spent some weeks getting all the albums, and getting all the biographies, etc, as well as making tentative first steps on the pages. I suppose what I am saying is I tend to target a subject, and do the best I can to improve pages and add them around that subject. I cannot tell you why I landed on a particular subject, the reasons are different. But I know I get a bit fixated, that I get so into a subject it can take over my world, and I think that is coming across poorly in some of the stuff I write. I am working on a Stott page that will be my last, just waiting for some media to arrive, so I’ll be very critical of myself before I post. And going forward with my work on Nina Simone albums, I’ll keep your advice in mind. Thank you once again for contacting me about this issue, and how my work is coming across. It is quite embarrassing to be honest, so I’ll be doing everything I can to avoid this kind of feedback in the future. McrPhilosophy (talk) 10:35, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

Encyclopedic tone
Hello there. Seeing the work you've just done to Gifted & Black; I must ask you to follow Wikipedia's guidelines regarding tone. There are many examples in the work you've just done (and I freely admit work was needed) that are simply not okay: "something was fishy", "and so on", "what we do learn" etc. I will be watching. 12:01, 20 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Fred. Thank you for the message, and for calling this out. You are of course right, and looking back at the page the additions I had made were sub-par with respect to tone. The excuse I *would* offer is that I was only just beginning to work on this page, when life intervened and I left things poorly done. However, upon noticing your comment, I found I had another one from someone else on a different subject, but which in essence is the point you have identified. So this is definitely something I need to watch out for. Thank you for calling it to my attention. For now, I have just quickly sorted the issues you mentioned with the page, and I hope to get back to this in the near future. And if you do notice any slip-ups I make as you are doing your rounds, I would of course be grateful if you let me know. McrPhilosophy (talk) 10:04, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
 * "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans" 😉 I appreciate your response and efforts to address the concern. I have given it a quick look but am quite blurry eyed from staring at code for hours so will try again after some sleep. I did noticed you're using single quote-marks (apostrophes) to quote sources though; our manual of style (which is vast and comprehensive) stipulates double quote-marks should be used for those. Have a good day/night.  14:56, 24 December 2022 (UTC)
