Image Tagging Image:Googlelogo backrub.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Googlelogo backrub.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --feydey 20:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Images
hi

Thanks for the heads up. I've fixed up the google logos.

Um, is there somewhere I can go to, to see all the images I have uploaded? As I have uploaded a few in the past few days, but haven't added all the copyright info etc.

EDIT: found, and fixed, no probs (I think those copyright tags suit?)

Is there anything I need to do that I've missed?

An idiot replies
Of course you can say alost anything on your user page. If it's a good idea, that's another story. It's bad form to guess at another user's motivations, and quite bad form to then use a pejorative for that user based upon those guesses.

I've got nothing in particular against podcruft. Have a browse of proposed guideline WP:WEB and consider if the articles qualify. Cheers, brenneman (t) (c)  03:31, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Emphasise the word 'proposed'
If you look in that article right at the top it says This page is a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process.

i.e. It hasn't yet been put into action, but is still in discussion.

In my belief, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia's aim to be the central source of a multitude and mass of information.

The articles I have created or editted for the podcasts I enjoy listening or watching are simply providing information about them, and in the distant future if some of these podcasts phase out, the articles will serve as information regarding the history of those podcasts and podcasting in general.

Also, why, my friend, is there a Podcast category on wikipedia which lists many different available podcasts?

If information on websites are banned from Wikipedia, then immediately, there goes half the information Wikipedia comprises, the Internet is such a huge part of Wikipedia and life these days it would be down right stupid to delete all website-related articles from Wikipedia. And anyway, the articles on the websites are NOT created for the sole reason of promotion, they are created to add to the Wikipedia pool of information and to share with it's users what the website is about.

Sure, if someone created an article on their website which was a simple site that talked about dogs for instance, then I wouldn't consider this to be worthy of being created on Wikipedia (although perhaps a separate section can be created for these article-types to be submitted to). But most site articles submitted to Wikipedia are about a site or something which is new, unique or interesting and as I said before, adds to the pool of knowledge that is Wikipedia.

 * Hey that was good! I did know it was proposed, I said that when I linked it.  If you can argue that well enough to convince people on AfD, I won't die.  I think that you meant this to go here. -  brenneman (t) (c)  05:48, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Ruby on Rails and Rubygems
Why'd you send Rubygems to Ruby on Rails? They're two separate things... it'd be like combining Microsoft Office with AOL Instant Messenger because they both run on Windows.
 * Ah, OK, will change that

Retard?
Dear Treelovinhippie, Please review WP:NPA. brenneman (t) (c) 06:49, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe you should have a read of that one too. Since I've decided to assist with articles on wikipedia, you have made the experience nothing but hell you piece of shit. Pull your finger out of your bureaucratic arse and rot in hell.
 * With as much niceness as I can summon up, the problem isn't really me. I could have been more gentle I suppose, but I havne't engaged in any personal attacks.  While I understand that you're a bit personally involved in these articles, calling people names isn't going to help.  I see that you've made positive contributions to other articles (fair use images, etc) so I'd hope that you can let go of some hostility and become a good contributor.
 * Actually I have absolutely no affiliation with any of the podcast articles I have created/editted... I'm in Australia, they're in the US! Treelovinhippie 23:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * As I'm sure you're aware, the minor podcast articles are looking to be deleted. If you'll have a quiet think about it, you'll see that this means either there exists a shadowy group of pod-haters who have ganged up or that these articles aren't encyclopedic.
 * So can you please give me a definition of what an encyclopedia is? hmmm, I always thought it was a giant source of information combined into one location; not a place where articles are deleted, even though they are extremeley popular in the web community. Treelovinhippie 23:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I do hope that you can start to enjoy your time here, but please do throttle back a bit, eh? brenneman (t) (c)  22:57, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
 * PS, Why the fuck do you have a dispute resolution box on your user page? Is this because you deliberately piss people off to cause confrontation? Treelovinhippie 23:10, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

It's not usually a good idea to nest your points inside someone else's as it's hard to read. If you must do that, using another colour is a good idea. Anyway:
 * 1) I didn't say you were affiliated with the podcasts, just that you seemed emotionally involved in the articles.
 * 2) There exist a large number of guidelines as to what is and isn't encyclopedic. Try WP:NOT and WP:WEB for starters.
 * 3) Nominating an article for deletion is about the content not the contributor. Please look over WP:FAITH, too.
 * 4) Dispute resolution? I'm not sure that you know how to link a diff, but if you do please provide one where I've been anything but nice.

Really, mate, you've not done yourself any favours here. Every contribution you make is recorded forever, and people will judge you by them. I am, believe it or not, trying to help you here. Wikipedia can be a lot fun, but unless you can change the way that you deal with others, you're not going to have any fun, eh? brenneman (t) (c) 23:33, 10 October 2005 (UTC)


 * hmmm, still no answer as to why you have a dispute resolution box on your user page.
 * Actually, I did answer that. You suggested that it was because I "liked pissing people off". I asked you to show where I've done so.
 * I'd suggest that the fact that you've linked my user page under the words "THIS IDIOT" says more about you than the fact that I've linked dispute resolution. brenneman (t) (c)  08:53, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Tagging for deletion
Well the fact that once you decided to tag one of the articles I helped with, for deletion, then you decided to search for all the other articles I had done and also mark them for deletion! You haven't seemed to mark any other site articles!
 * TLH - I'm sorry that you chose to take that as personal. The articles had links to each other in them.  I simply followed those links.  Have you looked at my contributions?  I nominate lots of articles for deletion.  brenneman (t) (c)  00:47, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, I understand you're just trying to uphold the wikipedia policies etc. I just think there should be a separate section like web.wikipedia.org for popular websites/tech to add articles to. Sorry about the outbursts and all that. cheers Treelovinhippie 03:53, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Uni of Wollongong Image/s
Hi Treelovinhippe, just checking in to say I've added a comment regarding your use of images on the UOW entry. It would be nice to see the images in question replaced with material unencumbered by copyright. Bilious 03:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Page Blanking
On 22-Mar, you blanked Infected (Radio Show). Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the redirect should be deleted, please follow the redirect portion of the deletion procedures. If you believe an article should be written instead of the redirect, please write a stub. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 04:44, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Indigital.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Indigital.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images 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. -- Nivus  (talk) 10:14, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Wallace gromit were rabbit.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Wallace gromit were rabbit.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. meco 14:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Keith Harrison
Hi - I added a {db-bio} tag to Keith Harrison, because from the article as it stands, it doesn't look as if Keith is Notability|notable}} enough to have an article of his own. If you disagree, you should edit the page to add a hangon tag, and then add to the [[Talk:Keith Harrison|talk page why you feel he should stay.  --Mnem e son 11:59, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Keith harrison.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Keith harrison.jpg. The image description 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images 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.

Image:Accom2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Accom2.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. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. -- Sherool (talk) 13:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The same goes for Image:Header2.jpg, Image:Header small.jpg and Image:Accom1.jpg. It is scertainly possible for someone to create some free licensed photos that convey the same information as these unfree ones do. --Sherool (talk) 13:39, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Uow campus loc.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Uow campus loc.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. 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 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].

Geekdrome
A "" template has been added to the article Geekdrome, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but yours may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

Non-free use disputed for Image:Vegas-tv-series-poster.jpg

Fair use rationale for Image:Googlelogo_6.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Googlelogo_6.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.

Speedy deletion of Ctrl+Alt+Chicken
A tag has been placed on Ctrl+Alt+Chicken requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 15:48, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
