No content in Category:Steve Lacy avant-garde jazz albums
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Steve Lacy avant-garde jazz albums, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Steve Lacy avant-garde jazz albums has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Steve Lacy avant-garde jazz albums, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Image:Gyokuko Carlson.JPG
Thank you uploading this, image. However because of planned licensing changes in Wikipedia, it would be appreciated if you could consider dual licensing the image under the terms of the GFDL 1.3(and later) and CC-BY-SA 3.0 (and later) license.

As you presumably have contact details for the original copyright holder it should not be hard for your to approach them to request dual licences.

Dual-licensing assists those wishing to make use of images and media on other WMFprojects, and off wiki. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:22, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Martine Batchelor.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:Martine Batchelor.JPG I noticed that that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, and proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license, there is no confirmation that the permission granted was confirmed with an OTRS ticket. If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL 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 [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org 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 did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

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 uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dennis Rowland
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dennis Rowland, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Soundvisions1 (talk) 20:44, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Suggestions
First of all, thank you for your work here. I just have a couple issues with your contributions.


 * 1) The jazz footer only belongs on articles which are listed in the template itself. Not on bios.
 * 2) Overcategorization: Category:Nat Adderley albums would itself be listed under Category:Jazz albums etc.  Category:Nat Adderley Bop albums is not the convention.

I think you may now be aware of these things, but I still have been undoing these a bit here and there. Cheers.

License tagging for Image:Daibutsu_of_Todaiji.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Daibutsu_of_Todaiji.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 07:34, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Second Genesis.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Second Genesis.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) 05:56, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Doug or David Wimbish?
Hello,

I have a question regarding Commons, but since your talk page there is protected I write it here. You created a Category:David Wimbish for an image of Doug Wimbish. Is David his "real" name? I have never heard that before. All records on which he plays I know of (Tackhead, Living Colour, Little Axe) credit him as Doug. Wikipedia knows him as Doug and does not mention David. On the web (including the biography on his own website) I can only find him as Doug Wimbish, every David Wimbish I can find is someone else. Years ago I met him in person through someone who knew him very well - and everybody said Doug, not David. What is the source for David? --Tsui (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Notability of Coyote Zen
A tag has been placed on Coyote Zen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. magnius (talk) 23:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Steak pie with gravy.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Steak pie with gravy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.
