Film titles
Hi, noticed your edit on Seven Samurai and others to give them their 'real' titles, i.e. in Japanese. Unfortunately I don't have the appropriate Kanji plugins or whatever I need to see these characters, so I only see lots of ???? in their place. (using Firefox, Win XP). I expect I'm not the only one. As this is the English Wikipedia, shouldn't the titles be left in English? I've started a discussion on the Seven Samurai talk page if you want to respond. --duncan 16:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

M.A.S.K.
I can't speak to the first source you cited, but the second source DOES NOT link M.A.S.K. and Studio Junio. No one's questioning the fact that the show was produced overseas, just by who. JPG-GR 17:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * After running a translation on the first source, I can find any link there either referring to Studio Junio. Care to elaborate? JPG-GR 17:25, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Care to use google by yourself or do I have to waste my time spoon-feeding you?! Paris By Night 12:42, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not a search engine, it is an encyclopedia. It's purpose is not to be a hub from which other people can do their own research. And, I would recommend that you read WP:NPA. JPG-GR 16:23, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Ha! And how this encyclopedia is supposed to be filled without copyright infringment nor personal research then? Anyway your previous answer was aggressive, so I guess you haven't red the NPA neither. Paris By Night 14:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

RATM
The main reason I removed your edit is that I can't stand Wikipedia arguing with itself--if you think RATM's combination of rap and metal is not notable, take it out rather than adding a phrase that suggests that the phrase before is wrong. Nareek 21:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I see about "I can't stand Wikipedia arguing with itself". Paris By Night 11:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

When I looked at the rapcore article, it listed Faith No More along with half a dozen other bands that had mixed rap and metal before what the article seemed to feel was the birth of rapcore itself. Maybe there's a better way to describe this, but I don't think your edit was it. Nareek 21:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * It's just because the article is wrong that's what I tried to explain you. FNM is the last band listed while it was among the first one to do rap-metal, and the reason is other bands were older than FNM but they did a different genre of music than rap-metal, actually FNM came in 1985 but did rap-metal since its beginning (before Patton joined) unlike earlier bands, I've quoted on your talk page. Other reason is FNM are underrated, they always were. Paris By Night 11:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Not to get off on a side argument, but "Walk This Way" seems like a pretty important moment for the combination of rap and metal. It's not like RUN-DMC just happened to be in a studio where Aerosmith was playing; somebody--and I'm guessing it was RUN-DMC--had the idea that these were two great tastes that would taste great together. Nareek 21:15, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Date verification is needed for "Walk This Way". However I don't think a single hit alone is that important. Paris By Night 11:42, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Done. "Walk This Way" rap-rock version is actually posterior to FNM's "We Care A Lot"! WTW w/Run DMC was recorded in 1986 while FNM's debut album was released in 1985, which makes FNM pioneer before Aerosmith/Run-DMC. The reason for FNM to be disregarded in the rapcore article is the band is just overlooked in the US & UK (which were probably focused on lyrics, instead of music, unlike other, non English-speaking, countries?!). Paris By Night 12:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Beastie Boys' Rap-Rock debut album was 1986 "Licensed to Ill" too (before they did hardcore punk), which makes them 2nd to FNM too. Paris By Night 12:31, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Mers el-Kébir et Vichy
Bonjour,

La page de discussion relative à Attack on Mers-el-Kébir explique pourquoi le régime de Vichy n'est pas mentionné. Pour résumer, le 3 juillet 1940:


 * la constitution effective est celle de la 3e République
 * le siège du gouvernement est en cours de déménagement entre Bordeaux et Vichy
 * le Maréchal Pétain est Président du conseil des ministres, mais pas encore chef de l'état.

Le régime de Vichy fut crée par la loi constitutionnelle du 10 juillet 1940, une semaine après la bataille de Mers el-Kébir. Il est donc incorrect de dire que les Britanniques ont attaqué la Marine "de Vichy". Ca sera le cas à Dakar, quelques mois plus tard. Si vous n'êtes pas d'accord, venez discuter sur Talk:Attack on Mers-el-Kébir. Merci! PpPachy 06:52, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Frangleterre, Englance
You may be right that the Hundred Years' War is relevant to the Scots-French alliance, but unfortunately the article Hundred Years' War itself is not very helpful in that regard, as Scotland is very infrequently mentioned, and only once in relation to France -- in a sentence that points to Auld Alliance. Whereas its relevance to Anglo-French relations is specifically that the English king claimed to be also king of France, and for a brief period nearly succeeded in making the claim good, thus creating a kind of Anglo-French union, though obviously not one based on alliance and cooperation.

Paris and Indochina
Hello Paris by Night, I have some remarks on two of your edits.

1. You moved Liberation of Paris to Battle for Paris, which I think is wrong because the most common name for the event is the Liberation of Paris and the most common name should almost always be used. For example Glorious First of June is named just that not Third Battle of Ushant because the previous is the most common name.
 * you're right about the most common name, i replaced the article title per the infobox title. the infobox is about a battle not a "liberation", if you get what i mean. there was battle for paris in the infobox already so i renamed the whole article "battle for paris", what's wrong? do you think it is better to have two titles in the same article? Paris By Night 16:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * by the way since it was only a matter of title used one or two times i renamed the article "liberation of paris" as you have suggested. Paris By Night 16:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

2. You have added Nguyen Van Hinh to the commanders section of the Infobox and I am not sure that is corrected. My understanding was that the French commander-in-chief in the Far East had operational control over the Vietnamese National Army. So while Van Hinh adminstrated the army, the French commanders commanded it, altought I might be wrong as I am not expert on the relationship between the French c-in-c and the national armies of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. Carl Logan 15:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've mentioned van hinh in a different part, because the VNA is not part of the expeditionary forces. there is the part for the far east corps and the part for the VNA. just the same way you have the name of the commanders by countries in world war II (british etc), or the vietnam war (ARVN, etc) while the supreme commander was american. the same way during the 1918 campaign in world war I philippe pétain was supreme commander of the allies. i find suspect that it hurts you when it is about the french and not when it is about the americans... Paris By Night 16:22, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes I agree, but only for field commanders, the one who administrate the army should not be included in commanders section. Did Van Hinh command the VNA or was it commanded by the French c-in-c? if the answer is yes than he should be included among the commander, if it is no than he should not, in my opinion. Another point Foch was supreme allied commander, not Petain, he was only Commander-in-chief of the French Army. Carl Logan 16:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * as far as i know van hinh commanded his army and had allegiance to bao dai. the VNA raised the state of vietnam flag not the french union one (france). van hinh is commander of the VNA not the french. bout' WWI yes yes Foch i mean. of course. Paris By Night 17:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Fs_3597-slingbloodbig.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:BinaryCacheServlet.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:BinaryCacheServlet.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.

Speedy deletion of Template:VNA
A tag has been placed on Template:VNA requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude>).

Unspecified source for Image:Magnificent-bastards-faith-no-more.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Magnificent-bastards-faith-no-more.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 13:21, 1 April 2008 (UTC).

File permission problem with File:Gt4online inlay.png
Thanks for uploading File:Gt4online inlay.png, which you've sourced to Gran Turismo 4 Online package. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA 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 , 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 take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to .

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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.

Orphaned non-free image File:BinaryCacheServlet.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:BinaryCacheServlet.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk ) 04:09, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Taste the blood of.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Taste the blood of.png. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:06, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:Shutokou battle ten.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Shutokou battle ten.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:La liberation de paris title.png


A tag has been placed on File:La liberation de paris title.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file licensed as "for non-commercial use only", "no derivative use", "for Wikipedia use only", or "used with permission"; and it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. 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 and if necessary, a complete fair use rationale.

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.

If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. fuzzy510 (talk) 06:31, 16 September 2020 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Kerberosdrapeau.png
Thanks for uploading File:Kerberosdrapeau.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC BY-SA 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 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 take this step, add permission pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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. Here is a list of your uploads. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
