James Blunt - Trivia
Hi RomeW - I too am from Toronto and know the story of Jane Creba; certainly it was a terrible loss. Having said that, her listening to "Goodbye My Lover" a great deal in the period before her death isn't particularly exceptional. I have heard many stories from all over the English-speaking world where that song was important to a recently deceased person. If the song is to be mentioned in the same breath as a death, I would suggest that the death of the Quebec police officer is more appropriate; that time, an extended clip of the song, being played at her funeral, was broadcast on national television news. I'm also concerned that your chosen title seems to, well, trivialize Jane's death.

There seem to be some pretty heavy hitters watching this article (it's been subject to recurrent vandalism), so I thought I'd mention my thoughts on your own talk page rather than the one for the article. I won't make any edits at this point, but will watch to see if anyone else does, or if anyone starts to add truly trivial information; if that happens, then I think it would be best if this serious piece of information is either moved or removed. I'll look forward to your thoughts. Risker 06:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought it might be interesting, for good or ill, because even though it's an unfortunate event, it is nevertheless James Blunt-related. To be honest, I knew that "Goodbye My Lover" was used in her memorial at her high school too, but I couldn't find a link for that. Also, if you do a search for "James Blunt" and "Jane Creba" you're going to get quite a few hits, especially from the big hitters like CTV and Canada.com (CanWest Global)- people made a big deal about it.
 * Nevertheless, I am aware that it's not *entirely* exceptional, but not knowing that much about Blunt, I knew of no other instance of where "Goodbye My Lover" was the song of choice of a recently deceased person, hence the only reason why Creba was highlighted. Perhaps my trivia note would be better expanded to include those other references, not just Creba, because then that would be exceptional.-RomeW 07:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * How about adding this to the article on the song itself? (Sorry was sleep-keyboarding last night, should have thought of it then.) Here is a reference article to help, which was posted on a message board but is a scan of an actual newspaper article:  http://bluntygirl.proboards43.com/index.cgi?board=news&action=display&thread=1131397851 Also, the police officer killed in Montreal was named Valerie Gignac. That would probably make more sense overall.  Perhaps a better heading would be "Funerals" or something to that effect.  Risker 14:18, 14 March 2006 (UTC)  Sorry, here is a link confirming the playing of the song at Gignac's funeral.  http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/story.html?id=36c8a1fe-b86b-4150-ba76-6801a9bb6e27&k=72933 Risker 14:21, 14 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I added both to the trivia section. Let me know what you think- I think it looks better now. -RomeW 23:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Image:MarkusNaslund.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:MarkusNaslund.gif. 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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Khatru2 09:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:YorkLions.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:YorkLions.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 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.BetacommandBot 11:56, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Juventus
The thing is we're trying to keep "The "Calciopoli" scandal" section trimmed down as possible with just the essentials, so it can pass a good article review without too much recentism. I mean four, big hefty paragaphs on it while the whole decade before has around about the same ammount of information is too much, expanding even more probably isn't a good idea. The reaction to Inter and the subsequent Telecom Italia scandal is sourced by people like Channel 4, and even Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has stated its essential for Juve to beat Inter next season because of this.

Names like Ibrahimovic aren't essential to the history of the club, so we don't need to be too specific with players like that. While Cannavaro a World Cup winning captain is, if you can think of a way to incorporate how it was seen as harsh towards Juventus to be relegated while non of the others were then feel free, but as I said the article is already longer than it is supposed to be so it says "This page is 69 kilobytes (kibibytes) long." at the top - The Daddy 09:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Roughly four years ago....
You made this edit to the Jehu article (technically, you made this edit, and the previous user made this edit, but that's obviously some sort of glitch).

In particular, I'm interested in the following sentence:
 * "Some scholars have suggested that "Jehu" is a nickname for "Joram", but this claim is seen as fallicious by other scholars since it would not make sense for a nickname to be so similar to the theophoric element of a name that it would be almost indistinguishable."

Do you have a source for either part of that (either the "some scholars" who suggest or the "other scholars" who dispute)?

There's no particular urgency, but its bound to be removed from the article by someone now that I've mentioned it, unless a source can be cited for it.

I'm not saying that I dispute the first part, as I vaguely recollect reading that somewhere else (although I might be mistaken, and would definitely like some confirmation either way). But I haven't seen the second part of that before.

If you do have a source for it, can you add the reference into the article - use ref tags. Could you also then leave a note on my page?

Thanks. Newman Luke (talk) 23:33, 24 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, your source sounds to me to be fairly reliable. But Wikipedia requires it to be published. A lecture just won't do, I'm afraid (unless the transcript is published - and then it would be the transcript not the lecture that would be the source). Can you get him to write it down and publish it somewhere? Or maybe you can ask the lecturer where he got the info from (as your user page implies you are still at uni)? Or maybe you can ask him if he has already written it in a book somewhere? Newman Luke (talk) 13:07, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
