Non-free use disputed for Image:Soulscore.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Soulscore.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Wozard of Iz Cover.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Wozard of Iz Cover.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:20, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome back to Wikipedia. To learn more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (music) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD (talk) 14:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Notability of Voice of eye
A tag has been placed on Voice of eye requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it 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. JohnCD (talk) 14:51, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Speedy tag removed for now - but check out the criteria you have to meet in Notability (music) - you need to provide references from independent reliable sources. The one link you have at the moment doesn't work. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:59, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Industrial design and Design Portal
I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new Visual arts/Technology-related project in Wikipedia:

WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design (also called Product design).
 * If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 1850 articles on Industrial design in Wikipedia...
 * At least, it's more than for Typography, and there IS a Typography WikiProject...
 * And it's more than the Fashion WikiProject with 482 articles...
 * There is also an Urban studies and planning project and a Video games portal so...
 * Now you can also see a proposal for the Design Portal. (that portal would be for Industrial design AND Graphic design/Interior design)

Please  support this initiative, --   Alain R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek    18:53, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks schluum for your support. Could you please put yourself on the list of Charter members here... --   Alain R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek    21:12, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

January 2010
OK Mr. schluum, now that you're a member of this distinguished club, what do you say you quit your extended vacation (LOL) for some work on the project... We do not officialize the project yet until we have a couple more members but work is progressing nevertheless, as you can observe by going to WikiProject_Industrial_design/Things_you_can_do. Naturally you can involve yourself any which way you want. But until the 2 first automated tagging operations are done, and since you are a Design whiz kid, I had a special and delicate task I thought you could do better than others: take a look at WikiProject_Industrial_design/List_of_articles_uncategorized; those are Wikipedia articles that are probably not categorized already under Category:Industrial design (or a subcategory), although they possibly should be. Your mission, if you accept it, is to classify these articles as Good, Bad or Unclear candidates (for inclusion as 'Industrial design' articles). As you classify them (replace the ?s), you can also immediately tag the Good candidate articles with (or a more detailed subcategory thereof). That action of yours will dramatically boost the count of articles under the project wings. What do you think about that? (this tape will auto-destruct in 10 seconds... just kidding). --   Alain R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek    05:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi again. I see that you've done already quite a job on the list! In order to reduce the false positives to a minimum, I changed the Search on which that list was based (as can be seen on the to_do page) from this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=%22Industrial+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+design+awards%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+design+firms%22+-incategory%3A%22Product+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Consumer+goods%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Automobile+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Cycle+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Furniture+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Motorcycle+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Textile+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Computer-aided+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+designs%22&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search

to that more complicated:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=%22Industrial+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+design+awards%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+design+firms%22+-incategory%3A%22Product+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Consumer+goods%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Automobile+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Cycle+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Furniture+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Motorcycle+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Textile+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Computer-aided+design%22+-incategory%3A%22Industrial+designs%22++-incategory%3A%22American+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22British+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Danish+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Dutch+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22French+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22German+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Italian+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Japanese+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22Norwegian+industrial+designers%22+-incategory%3A%22CAD+file+formats%22+-incategory%3A%22Computer-aided+design+software%22+-incategory%3A%22Consumer+electronics%22+-incategory%3A%22Furniture%22+-incategory%3A%22Furniture+stubs%22+-incategory%3A%22Toys+of+the+1980s%22+-incategory%3A%22Audio+equipment+manufacturers%22+-incategory%3A%22Clothing+stubs%22+-incategory%3A%22Cargo+airlines%22+-incategory%3A%22Commercial+item+transport+and+distribution%22&fulltext=Search&ns0=1&title=Special%3ASearch&advanced=1&fulltext=Advanced+search

Based on that I removed about 60 false positives from the list. Keep up the good work. --   Alain R 3 4 5   Techno-Wiki-Geek    09:42, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Cool. I'll keep plugging away at it. Schluum (talk) 12:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

I saw you have a good judgment about that; based on a 15% success rate, we should extract one or two hundred articles from that. I understand it may be a tad cumbersome, but remember it is done only ONCE (after that we will be noticed automatically about possible new Industrial design related aticles by a bot). The only one I doubted was the Tesla Roadster but you were right, stricly speaking. Why do you think they put the Category:Vehicles outside of Category:Industrial design (and also Tools and Home appliances for that matter): isn't a Volkswagen Beetle the epitome of Industrial Design?... By the way, are you aware of my other initiative on that front, the Design portal: could you comment on that in the talk page (I'm not referring mostly to colors, fonts, layout, etc. for which obviously there could be various solutions, but to the content areas, which I restricted much more than for my other Portal)? Thanks, -- AlainR345  Techno-Wiki-Geek  21:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * That's a good question, re: vehicle design. I haven't really decided myself on it. That's a little bit of the reason I'm breaking the list down into categories - it allows me a little bit more overall view of what we're throwing our Category umbrella over. The individual products (i.e., Trintion televisions, Canon cameras) are certainly products of industrial design, but are they essential to the project? I don't know. Now, something like the Tulip chair article which includes a statement like "...the chair is considered a classic of industrial design." Well, I think that's a pretty good fit. Still pondering what our qualifications for putting them under the project heading though. I'm leaning towards items which, rather than simply being generated by an industrial design process (which pretty much every manufactured thing is), are considered either hallmarks of the industrial design movement, or somehow show some impact in the field. I think your design portal kinda reflects that as well. Schluum (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2010 (UTC)


 * As for cars, I'd rather not go into that, as there is already an Automobiles Project. For the rest, I understand what you're saying but on the other hand I advise you not to be too finicky about it. All articles under Category:Industrial design will be tagged with the project banner as soon as it goes official anyways. A WikiProject is maybe more like a Ford-T plant than a Boutique hotel. Also, it's not as if say the Walkman is essential to the project but the reverse... By tagging articles, we can then rate them and then improve them selectively and then..., well you know the rest of it... Bye now, -- AlainR345  Techno-Wiki-Geek  00:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)  P.S. I'm also into Comic books but of the European kind.

February 2010
Hi again Schluum. Now that we opened the Design portal and had our first massive tagging (530 articles), your contribution will become ever more important to grow this thing to about 1000 articles. I understand it's a bit like finding a needle in the haystack... Keep up the good work! -- AlainR345  Techno-Wiki-Geek  19:07, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

WP:DESIGN - Scope questions
This text is extracted from here. Please give it a thought as a member of WikiProject ID and put your ideas back there: The first tagging operation of February 13, 2010 revealed some lingering scope questions that we want to discuss with each member of the project:
 * The tagging gave 530 articles.
 * We had previously estimated the number of potential ID articles to be around 1850...
 * So the difference is this (those articles that Mr. ZooFari did no do with automated tagging but are part of the Wikipedia Industrial design category hierarchy):
 * Category:Automobile designers (455 articles);
 * Category:Cycle designers (25 articles);
 * Category:Motorcycle designers (25 articles);
 * Category:Textile designers (33 articles);
 * Category:Computer-aided design (510 articles);
 * Category:Furniture (around 1250 articles).
 * Note 1: Keep in mind there are overlaps, so numbers do not add up.
 * Note 2: I had previously decided to exclude non-furniture categories from the ID project because: by looking at some of the Category:Consumer goods articles, I thought they were not 'a good fit' as a whole, although some of them could be included later on an individual basis. (but that can also be reconsidered by the team)

The question is... What do we do about that? As always each solution has its advantages and inconvenients... So, team, what do you think? -- AlainR345  Techno-Wiki-Geek  19:53, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) We keep that situation 'as is'.
 * 2) We ask somebody else to possibly automate all the rest of it.
 * 3) We reselect some of those categories for automation (which ones?) and do the rest by hand on an article-by-article basis.

WP:DESIGN - Auto-assessment tagging operation
Hi again Schluum, could you put your OK on this here, it's just a confirmation for the bot, thanks, -- AlainR345  Techno-Wiki-Geek  04:09, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
