Better Badges
I have added a "" template to the article Better Badges, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. - Tragic Baboon (banana receptacle) 18:37, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Wwwhatsup, welcome to Wikipedia! I have voted "keep for now" on the AfD. I can't determine if this is a legit topic, but I'm willing to give you teh benefit of the doubt for now (not that my opinion really matters lol). If you need any help to bring the article up to WP standards (or to determine even if it belongs here), I would be happy to help out where I can. Just let me know! Good luck! - grubber 16:30, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe the page is still available in the database. Contact an admin, and he may be able to email you the former text, if you want to try again. You may be able to download the WP database dump and extract it yourself. I'm sorry the article was deleted. If you really believe it belongs here, I hope you persue this further, and I will support you. - grubber 19:05, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

I have submitted the page for Deletion Review and posted a note to the deleter Wwwhatsup 22:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Old text now userfied for improvement during the DRV at User:Wwwhatsup/Sandbox. GRBerry 14:07, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll try and whack it into acceptable shape. Wwwhatsup 20:05, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's not strictly necessary to provide the scans of the citations in question, but it would be very helpful if you did. Since they are copyrighted, Wikipedia would be very strict about how they could be used if uploaded to this server. I suggest that if you want to provide scans, you should upload them to ImageShack and then link to them from appropriate parts of the article, like "Better Badges was the first company to employ live giraffes as receptionists." — coe l acan t a lk  — 21:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I would imagine archive.org might be a more sound repository than imageshack, I'll go for that. I've looked to see if I could find the article's photographer - Chalkie White - online with no joy. Well known at the time for his work in NME he seems to have completely disappeared.

Bad Brains Image
Concerning the use of for the musical artist infobox on the Bad Brains article:  I have recently found that a number of images claiming fair use for illustrating groups or bands have been removed from infoboxes. I'm not sure I always agree with the removers, but I hope they have a better sense of copyright fair use policies of Wikipedia than I do. I would agree with you that this image could probably not be reproduced since it is of the band near their "peak". Others would argue that since the band remains active, that a free image could be obtained from a concert or public event of the band members. I think you might want to ask for informal help from Mediation Cabal or more formal mediation from the Mediation Committee. I hope that this helps. - cgilbert(talk 21:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I hadn't noticed your Fair Use update to the image. The original uploader, Onlysighted, was a sockpuppet to blocked Wikipedia image pirate SEGA so naturally, any/all uploads from this user are to be heavily scrutinized(or removed completely). That being said the above post is also accurate in regards to freely available alternative vs. fair use. In the new Wiki-world it is becoming more apparent that if you didn't go out and take the picture yourself....don't bother uploading it. I have no further opinion on the BB photo and its use. It would appear that sooner or later it will just get labelled "replaceable" anyways. Have a nice day. 156.34.221.2 22:27, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * PS; while I have your attention...if you are a regular editor of the BB article something to keep watch for... Even though SEGA is blocked this user continually evades his block to re-insert either his own images or new copy vio images that has uploaded. His modus operandi is to basically create a new user account for every page that he edits. So if you happen to notice any new user "red" accounts that pop in to the BB articlejust to add a pic....it's likely SEGA and should be reported at RCU. This user also frequents Fishbone, Yes, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and any/all articles dealing with Phish(+ a few other jam bands). Again, they are easy to spot and should be brought to administrator attention right away. Good day. 156.34.221.2 22:45, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * PPS; Want to know just how easy it is to find a SEGA sock....here's a new one now. . It's just that easy. 156.34.221.2 23:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the needs-photo flag for the time being from the WPBiography banner on the Bad Brains talk page. I have also made some formatting changes to the musical artist infobox on Bad Brains. These changes include, using the image size variable since the original image is narrower than 220px, reducing the size of the "bad brains" logo, unwikilinking the years under the years active field, and removing one  tag in the genre field. Thank you for your contributions to this article. Maybe we can get it up to Good Article status in the near future. - cgilbert(talk 16:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Oakley Hall
Everything looks good. I just can't figure out why the female guitarist/singer in the linked videos doesn't appear to be Rachel Cox. I like this band a lot; they were coming through Ohio a lot last year. Badagnani 17:50, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove citation requests
Here you removed some, and added a tag on the top of the page noting the article needs references. When you add one of these, that does not mean you should remove the individual requests. Hoponpop69 01:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I didn't want to clutter every sentence with a reference. This is all covered in Simon Reynold's book. Wwwhatsup 08:58, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

That's a ridicolous excuse, just add a reference. All featured articles are "cluttered with references" because that's what makes an article good. Hoponpop69 11:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Stars and Syd Barrett
That's utterly incredible that you were there. Are you sure you don't have a tape of one of the shows lying around in the basement or someplace? :-) It's really sad that it seems Syd broke up what would have been a good band based on some fool's unprofessionally written review. The Parsnip! 02:33, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
 * *sigh* I know, there's nothing out there. A lot of folks are clinging to that last thread of hope though. Great that you were there when so much great music was being performed. The Parsnip! 14:07, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Mick Farren the biker
Okay, maybe it was a different Mick Farren then, or I just got some faulty info. Anyway, thanks for straightening it out. Cheers. The Parsnip! 14:04, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Warlocks 9.30.07-151-BW.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Warlocks 9.30.07-151-BW.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Media copyright questions. --OrphanBot 00:11, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
