The Clash article has been rated as GA-Class

 * I'm sorry but I just can't accept it. My input was minimal, whereas you have slogged day in day out for months. I am in turn awarding this star to you. Wwwhatsup (talk) 16:55, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


 * You must accept the barnstar! You deserve it for all the great jobs you did (and you are doing) on that article and on all other articles related to The Clash and the underground music scene too. And, for sorting out images and (great) videos, reverting vandalism, and many other jobs you are doing on Wikipedia. Anyway, I checked out the last 500 edits on that article and I gave the barnstar to the most active wikipedians/contributors (check this out). Sometimes, the simple action to revert vandalism is better than to write a new "crap" section. Consider this barnstar as a cumulative award. Thank you so very much Wwwhatsup for the barnstar! Wish you are doing well. Take care and all the best. –p joe f (talk • contribs) 09:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I will, grudgingly, and with thanks, accept it for my general efforts over an active period late last, and early this, year. Recently I haven't had the time. Wwwhatsup (talk) 19:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Legacy addition to hippie
How do you feel about adding Gerald de Groot's criticism and Hatch's response to the legacy section? I think it would work really well to balance out any NPOV concerns. Let me know. Viriditas (talk) 10:52, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm interested to see how you will manage to summarize it all. Wwwhatsup (talk) 19:55, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been looking at other articles for representing de Groot. First, I'm trying to get my mind around it.  On the one hand, de Groot seems to be making borderline fallacious arguments; for example, trying to draw a negative parallel between scholars who call the countercultural shift a "cultural revolution" and the real, murderous cultural revolution of Mao Zedong.  From what I've read, de Groot's comparison is almost unbearable and very unfair.   But, he makes a really great point about those who mythologize history, and that's something we should definitely include.  How would you summarize Hatch's response?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Apwlogo.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Apwlogo.gif. 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 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:09, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Question re: uploading a photo
Hello- I noticed you uploaded the photo of Patti D'Arbanville from either the PUNKCAST video of the reading of Pamela Des Barres' latest book, or from You Tube. Is it acceptable to do so? Does it not violate our copyright rules, or..? Also, I had read someplace in uploading photos that they shouldn't be done with writing (even the name of the person) across the front, as it would confuse some international Wikipedians. If you DO know about copyright rules here, I really would like to upload a couple of album covers from an artist who hasn't put out an album since 1974 and who has been out of circulation. I've found perfect small versions to upload but am unsure of the rules regarding this. Can you assist me? --leahtwosaints (talk) 21:14, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That is my own photo, I shot that video. As far as the album covers go, it is possible to argue that they are of historical significance or that their is sufficient graphic notability in the style to render them fair use, but it's very possible they will fall to deletionist zealotry. I suggest justidious use of the Template:Non-free use rationale to justify any upload. Wwwhatsup (talk) 21:29, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Message from WikiProject Punk music
Hello!

You may be interested to know that WikiProject Punk music has recently undergone a major revitalization. Please visit the project page to see our new look and check out some of our helpful new features, such as the Assessment Department and the Collaboration of the week. There are also a number of tasks on our Things to do page that you may be interested in helping with.

We are currently holding a roll call to help gauge how many active project members we have. Please visit the project's talk page and add your signature to the roll sheet to express your continued interest in the project. Also, if you have not already done so, please take a minute to add your name to the Participants page along with a brief summary of your punk-related interests, so that other project members will be better able to collaborate with you. If you do not add your signature to the roll sheet by November 30, 2008 your name will be moved to our list of inactive members. We may also take the liberty of removing the project userbox from your userpage if it appears there, to prevent you from automatically appearing in Category:WikiProject Punk music members. Of course you are free to rejoin the project and re-add the userbox at any time if you would like to become active in the project again.

Thank you and we hope you will continue to support WikiProject Punk music!

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. Soundvisions1 (talk) 14:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Image permission problem with Image:Ari-Up.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ari-Up.jpg I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [mailto:permissions-en@wikimedia.org permissions-en@wikimedia.org].

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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included.

re. The Cool Ruler
Thanks, there's still a lot of work to do here on reggae articles if someone like Isaacs can have the article he had before. I stopped short of trying to list all his singles - a near-impossible task I would have thought. I couldn't find a half-decent free photo of him anywhere. We might get away with a promo shot from a press kit or similar if one can be found. There are also still lots of big names in reggae who don't have articles here - I've added Soul Syndicate and Ken Parker (musician) today. --Michig (talk) 19:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the Keith Hudson article needed a bit of help too. I haven't found a lot of "classic era" video footage on YouTube, but the videos of people spinning classic rare old 45's are very handy. I keep meaning to have a good go at the Dennis Brown article - I have some good sources but it could end up being a big job. --Michig (talk) 20:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

New image project
Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects WikiProject Free images, WikiProject Fair use, WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:20, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for embellishing the article I started with that image, but if you own the copyright, I think it might be better moved to Commons, and therefore available to other projects under the WMF umbrella.

Daryl Jenifer
I redirected it boldly because it was a very short, unreferenced article that didn't assert notability outside of the band that Daryl is a member of. That's pretty common practice for members of a band: redirect unless they have sufficient notability for a standalone article.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:1177-01-03misspam02.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:1177-01-03misspam02.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Wwwhatsup, thank you for the heads-up at Talk: Pygmalion back on April 1 regarding the two NYT articles on the 1914 premiere at the Irving Place Theatre.
