File source and copyright licensing problem with File:The-traditional-Indian-craft-of-puppetry-displayed-in-a-larger-than-life-form-at-the-Opening-Ceremony..jpg
Thanks for uploading File:The-traditional-Indian-craft-of-puppetry-displayed-in-a-larger-than-life-form-at-the-Opening-Ceremony..jpg. 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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. 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 Non-free content, 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 created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 07:32, 7 October 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 07:32, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Time Out of Mind
Hi, Sayantan m! I saw you requested a Good Article review for Time Out of Mind on Dec. 20. Coincidentally, I was reviewing the article that day and happened upon the GA request after a first read-through. Consequently, I'd like to offer some feedback. To introduce myself, I've been working on Dylan articles, among other topics, for about four years. In 2009, I joined the newly-formed Bob Dylan Project and worked with the team on the main Bob Dylan article during its Feature Article review. I took about a year off shortly afterwards and returned more recently, when I started adding background to The Witmark Demos article, then just a stub. Along the way, I've also been upgrading articles on Dylan songs related to the demos, in particular, "Talkin' John Birch Paranoid Blues", "Bob Dylan's Dream", and a new article, "Farewell". None of these is complete, but my intent was simply to get them into shape for further improvement.

I noticed from Time Out of Mind's edit history that you did a lot of work on the article and in fact, most of it. That's a good way to make progress quickly, as I found with the Witmark Demos. However, I've put the Demos article on hold for the time being, because I want other editors to chime in with editorial additions and general feedback. The collaborative process, while slower than taking on an article on your own, has the advantage of drawing on others for their knowledge of the subject, familiarity with Wikipedia's standards, and critical judgment regarding writing and content. Based on those points, I believe that Time Out of Mind would benefit considerably from input from others. My impression is that the research and content are strong but that some editing and additional material is needed to bring the article up to standards. In my opinion, the Background and Recording Session sections should follow more of a narrative approach, much like that of a biography. While the quotations used are excellent, there seems to be an over-reliance on verbatim interview material and that some of the quoted remarks should be summarized into straightforward description. If you compare what's here with other articles, for example, The Basement Tapes and Highway 61 Revisited, you should be able to see the difference.

The bottom line is that I believe Time Out of Mind, as it stands, is in for some "rough going" in the review process. When an article is closer to standards, that's a good thing, because the critiques and back-and-forth debates help fine tune it. In this case, I think more is needed than just that. If you'd like some additional input to confirm what I'm saying, I'd suggest making direct requests to other Bob Dylan Project editors via their Discussion pages. I see you joined the group in October, so I don't need to include a link. A short note to a few editors asking for basic feedback should get some quick responses. Thanks. Allreet (talk) 19:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Allreet! Glad to see your feedback on Time Out of Mind (TOM). The problem, as you pointed out, is mainly due to the fact that most of the quotations you see on TOM were already there before I started editing it (though the majority of them was without any proper source). The article was already heavily quotation dependent and I decided to keep them as far as I can. Apart from adding proper sources and some relevant text and images I tried to make TOM more readable. Nevertheless, I think you're right on this point. I'll try to improve it by following a more narrative approach. You and other members of WP:DYLAN are also welcome to improve it in the way you think will be more appropriate. I see that this month's collaboration of WP:DYLAN is The Basement Tapes. I think it'll be great to make TOM a collaboration some time next year. Thanks. And Hey, I forgot to mention. I read The Witmark Demos recently. You guys are doing a great job. Keep it up.--Sayantan m (talk) 05:48, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

Time Out of Mind
Hi there Sayantan m - I've left a few comments on the talk page for Time Out of Mind. I hope they help. - I.M.S. (talk) 19:39, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. I wish I could help you with this article, but with my recently limited Wikipedia time I unfortunately probably won't be able to much. BTW, one other issue I had that I forgot to mention. The only producer listed in the infobox is Lanois, but elsewhere (halfway through "Recording sessions") you mention "two producers." I know on the CD the producer is credited to "Daniel Lanois . . . in association with Jack Frost productions" (i.e. Dylan). It would probably be a good idea in the article to clarify what "in association with" is meant to mean: is Lanois the official producer, and Dylan an unofficial one, or are they both considered to be equally official producers? I don't know the answer to this but maybe if you look at reviews and stuff and see what other people have said about the production of the album, you may be able to get a sense of how Dylan's role as "producer" is viewed. In any case, you need to make the infobox consistent with what is written in the text. Maybe add "Jack Frost" to the infobox as a start? Moisejp (talk) 10:37, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Fall of Giants.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) 10:05, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Fastra II
Hello! Could you take a look at Fastra II? I'm wondering what I should do with the notes, specifically note #3. Should I keep the notes there? If yes, should I still keep the information in note #3 there? Or should I move all notes to the specification section?

Also, under which fair-use rationale should I upload the benchmark images? Hey Mid  (contribs) 16:07, 2 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, Heymid! You're doing a good job. In fact I was watching and following your edits. You can make a paragraph of text(consisting the info of the notes) following the table in the section "Specification." I think making a section for notes is not a good idea. And I'm not sure whether the benchmark images are at all copyrighted. Even if they are I can't find a suitable license. So I suggest you not to upload them right now. Later we can look for a suitable license. Meanwhile, try to otherwise flesh out "Benchmarks" to justify the section by other info. Thanks.--Sayantan (talk|contribs) 17:03, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, per the list available, the image is in fact not copyright-protected. Hey  Mid  (contribs) 17:28, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Then there's no problem. Upload them!--Sayantan (talk|contribs) 17:31, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Just wondering, though: What should I write in the benchmarks section? And how big do you think the images should be in the article? Hey  Mid  (contribs) 18:33, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello Sayantan Mirtra, I will be reviewing the above article for GA. Please refer to the review page for comments on it, and I hope you will resolve them soon. Regards — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 06:08, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

 * As a matter of fact I live in here. Where do you live now?--Sayantan (talk|contribs) 17:15, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I apologize, but the article failed its GA review. I have pointed out reasons for which I could not proceed with the article. There are reasons and suggestions given as to what you need to do to achieve its GA status. — Legolas ( talk 2 me ) 14:23, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Firstly, you don't need to apologize. You did the right thing. Your comments and review will be very much helpful. Thanks for your review. And since you pointed out the word "demoed" is not in Britannica, I must say I don't know about Britannica but that word is on Wiktionary. Again thanks a lot for your review.--Sayantan (talk|contribs) 13:26, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

GA Review
Hi Sayantan,

I'm working on the backlog of GA reviews and noticed that Talk:Fastra II/GA3 looks all ready to be promoted to GA, but I think you might be tied up elsewhere? If so, I can close it for you if you say so or if you are still off-line a couple days down the line --DeVerm (talk) 03:45, 31 January 2011 (UTC).
 * I also read the review and question whether it is correct to italicize computer model names. Could you please look at my note before you close the review? Thanks, Racepacket (talk) 20:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

March 2011 GAN backlog elimination drive a week away
 WikiProject Good Articles will be running a GAN backlog elimination drive for the entire month of March. The goal of this drive is to bring the number of outstanding Good Article nominations down to below 50. This will help editors in restoring confidence to the GAN process as well as actively improving, polishing, and rewarding good content. If you are interested in participating in the drive, please place your name here. Awards will be given out to those who review certain numbers of GANs as well as to those who review the most. On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, we hope we can see you in March. MuZemike delivered by MuZebot 00:00, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles (Participant Clean-Up)
Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.

If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:33, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Bob Dylan - Biograph.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Bob Dylan - Biograph.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 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) 05:12, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

GAN December 2013 Backlog Drive
{| |}

March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive
It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:


 * This drive will introduce a new component to it; a point system. In a nutshell, older nominations are worth more points than newer nominations. The top 3 participants who have the points will be awarded the Golden, Silver, or Bronze Wikipedia Puzzle Piece Trophy, respectively.
 * Unlike the December 2013 Backlog Drive, earning an additional barnstar if you reached your goal has been removed.
 * The allowance to have insufficient reviews has been lowered to 2 before being disqualified.
 * An exception to the rule that all reviews must be completed before the deadline has been created.

Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.

More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.

I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

GAN March 2014 Backlog Drive
The March 2014 GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on April 1, 2014! Sent by Dom497 on behalf of MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:01, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

WikiProject Good articles Future GAN Backlog Drive
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.

If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.

At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.

As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

GA Cup
Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!

As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:

For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.

For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).

The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

--Dom497, Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is not working, as you did to Piano Concerto No. 2 (Prokofiev). Dead links should not be deleted. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 04:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
