Image copyright problem with Image:Ss_david_dust.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ss_david_dust.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this:.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

Re: Royce da 5'9"
You need to do some research brah, "Blood Brothers" is the name of an album by hip hop duo Outerspace, an album that features guest appearances from Royce, he's not in a crew called Blood Brothers, son, don't be postin' up random bullshit. --PDTantisocial 21:45, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Royce Da 5'9"
I'm just sayin', even though you deleted it I still got a "New Message" message on my shit. Why you postin' up random shit like that anyway? Dude makes like 20 guest appearances every year, just postin' one of his guest appearances is pointless unless you include all of 'em. --PDTantisocial 23:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

RE: Royce Da 5'9"
I'd be hard to find all of 'em, counting mixtapes joints and all that shit, there's one site that's pretty thorough, http://rhymestate.com, they got a lot of guest appearance info and shit, I'ma take a look. --PDTantisocial 23:59, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Royce Da 5'9"
Hi, I removed the link to to worldwideconnected dot com you readded at Royce Da 5'9", because it was added by along with many other links to the same site. This appears to be spam and promotion, which goes against WP:EL. But I should have asked before reverting your edit because you are not a spammer, so if I made a mistake in removing the link, please let me know. Wmahan. 05:19, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Royce Da 5'9"
Hello, I'm here regarding the removal of the "citations needed" annotation from the Royce Da 5'9" article. I added that to the sentence "Royce ... is better known for his freestyling skills — purportedly having never lost a rap battle" as Wikipedia is striving to to be a source of reliable information, and any reliable source needs references. We can't simply add a statement or opinion without citing the original source. Citing sources states: "Providing sources for edits is mandated by No original research and Verifiability, which are policy. This means that any material that is challenged and has no source may be removed by any editor." Instead of removing such a statement though, I decided it would be better to leave it there, but also warn that it doesn't have a known source and ask people to come up with one instead.

Regarding the other change of studio albums to studio albums, in case you weren't aware of this syntactic voodoo, the first link works exactly like the second— incorporating the "s" into the link while directing the viewer to the "s"-less article. I had also moved his real name to the beginning of the article as recommended in Manual of Style (biographies): "For people who are best known by a pseudonym, the birth name should usually appear first in the article, followed closely by the pseudonym. Follow this practice even if the article itself is titled with the pseudonym." Having it read "(born Ryan Montgomery on July 5, 1977)" makes it sound like he was born with that name but that it is no longer the case (and is in fact exactly what that space in the parentheses is reserved for, see Bill Clinton as an example).

For the above reasons I've partially reverted your last edit. If you'd like to see these guidelines changed, please do post in the relevant discussion area, Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (biographies). Happy editing, and thanks for contributing! – Quoth 06:36, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:R-Mean.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:R-Mean.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. The Evil Spartan 20:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

So what do I do with the image ? I got it off his MySpace. He uses that picture to promote his stuff, and everyone else does. I don't understand what to do now :< —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuplad (talk • contribs)
 * Well that's precisely the problem. It's copyrighted, and that tag states it's not copyrighted. I believe you want to provide the tag promotional - however, if you do that, you'll need to realize that Wikipedia does not use copyrighted images of people, and it will be deleted then too.

 * Um, what if I can get his permission ? I actually communicate with the guy by email and I'm going to meet him soon. Tuplad 20:45, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the short version to your question, you can do one of the two following:
 * Speak to him, and ask him to license it under GFDL, which basically says that anybody can use the image and make derivatives (i.e., not just Wikipedia), so long as the original artist is quoted. Many people will be willing to allow this if an image is promotional, but some will not, as it allows anybody to use the image at any time without royalties, etc. However, you may need to verify that he allowed this image to be used; the best way to do this you can find at Example requests for permission. People may be able to provide a more complete answer at Media copyright questions.
 * Another, much easier option would be, when you meet him, to take your own picture and then you can upload it to Wikipedia under any free license which you wish, and you don't have to worry about all this bureaucracy.
 * I hope this answers your questions. The Evil Spartan 22:44, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

When an article is deleted, the solution is not generally to simply recreate it under a different name. Also, the content you had there looked like it was mostly take from a another website. If you can write a properly sourced encyclopedia article on this person in your own words, please feel free to do so. For now, I have deleted the article. Friday (talk) 18:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Termanology
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Termanology, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * A7: Bio

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

Termanology
Hi. There seems to be an abundance of sources you could use for this article, besides MySpace. I would recommend adding a list of quick references which would be considered reliable WP:RS to the Termanology talk page, to stave off deletion. It may take some time to get this article up to snuff, but some quick references could make all the difference. Politics as Usual is ranked 13,450 on Amazon in music right now, and I saw a reference in Source magazine. Those might be good places to start. Best of luck with your editing. -- Oliver Twisted  (Talk)  10:50, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

This still needs a reliable source that states that they are no longer together. WP is not a place for people who know the people in the articles. Find a reliable source that states this and then it can be changed. Please read what makes a source reliable before adding source because social networking sites are not considered reliable sources. Thank you. (MgTurtle (talk) 18:02, 31 December 2010 (UTC))
