License tagging for Image:Dearly-loved-rd.GIF
Thanks for uploading Image:Dearly-loved-rd.GIF. 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:

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. 07:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Please stop uploading copyright violations. If you cannot understand the Non free content rules, the best thing to do is to only upload images you created yourself. Also, please stop spamming. Adding links to sites you own is generally considered spamming. Thank you, Mak (talk)  16:12, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

The Google frame grab was made of a Google search on my home computer.

The most recent image of Sarah Slean was made by my own camera.

I have declared it to be free domain.

Usually when people have taken photos themselves there is metadata attached, and they are larger than web-resolution. And they don't come from other peoples' websites. I can't see this as anything other than trying to continue to spam Wikipedia. Mak (talk)  16:36, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Xena replies... Since you have posted mine, I hardly see the relevance of this comment. As far as the IP address in question? Try her agent in France, who I doubt would give a sh..

As for you, Makemi; Feed your pooches real food, get a life, and abandon any claim to anything other than your thing which is a definite case of misappropriation magnified by Lucie in the Sky with a diamond obscuring her third eye, catch?

Lastly; be careful on how you use the term "spam." Since Wikipedia undertook to "discover" spamming by me and came up with a grand total of four links to lagieg2s, two which remain, of which one was made by some other person than yours truly, your comments are hurtful.

Your problem here, is that you identified my contributions as spam without considering them carefully. For example, I made outside links to song lyrics on very nice Web pages that are static, with no banners, etc. You may claim that outside links are not permitted, but this is obviously not the case, since Wikpipedia is littered with links that point to Web pages that exist to collect money from banner ads. Not one of my Web pages, and I have at least a few thousand, have a banner of any type, and many are for no other purpose than information dissemination. None of the contributors make a centime, nor ever will.

How imperial of you.

Wikipedia has very specific guidelines as to what kinds of links are or aren't suitable to be used on articles as external links. It isn't a place where anybody is entitled to add any personal link of their choice that pertains to the topic; the links have to be to objectively notable and verifiable media sources such as All Music Guide, Pitchfork Media or CBC Radio 3. A good rule of thumb is that the source needs to be a person or organization that would themselves qualify for an article on Wikipedia, otherwise they're just not notable enough to be considered a valid source. This is an encyclopedia, not an anything-goes web directory. Bearcat 00:11, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry Bearcat...

I have no contact with Crash Vegas, but knew them. I certainly befriended Lanois, have met Brian Eno, Fripp, worked for PolyGram during the launch of the Compact Disc, and have been interviewed by the CBC and Saturday Night Magazine.

I think that you will find that I am also in regular contact with such people as Weeping Tile alumni, and have many friends in Toronto that play music. My studio recorded many of these artists live and assisted in recording projects in other studios.

I think that you will discover that I am a source.

So before you make some quip about it, perhaps you should check for yourself. You had the opportunity to.

The Toronto music Web Page with the Crash Vegas intro. dates back to 2000. It predates Wikipedia. Not that this means anything in particular, but I put the page up to give the artists a bit of extra exposure. Good old fashioned publicity, I suppose, but also to remember their efforts. Long nights with little to show at the end; unappreciative audiences for the most part. But the live recordings described are important to the artists and to me. They were all made using classic ORTF techniques and offer excellent stereo. Occasionally, the artists found it difficult to reproduce in studio the excitement and energy of their live performances. Sometimes the audiences noticed the on-stage enthusiasm and were appreciative.

All of the live recordings were distributed to the artists themselves. So, John Southworth has several, including a document of his very first live performance, which was an extraordinary event. The Smiling Ben and White Elephant may be bands that you have never heard of, but Southworth was the protégé of members from these two, impeccable bands.

You may not have heard of some of the other bands, but all are part of the document that I made during the time that I was helping these artists. Perhaps the CBC will give some of them an airing, as these artists are still very active, and should be justifiably proud of their legacy.

Since I had no commercial objective at the time, nor have one now, and don't particularly care about your own viewpoint in terms of what constitutes a valid external link or not (particularly in the case of artists such as Merrill Nisker, who is a dear old pal), stay away from my entries. They are not spam, never were, and if some of these artists are completely unknown to you (such as Spin the Susan), that is your problem. I'm certain that there are one or two Toronto CBC people who know the band well, just as I am certain that Brent Bamberey owes a great deal to his own first major booster, the late Kevin Komoda.
