Star Trek depictions
Your artistic renditions of Kira and Sisko are appreciated but how do they help the article? According to WP:Images, an image should be "relevant to the article they appear in and be of sufficient notability (relative to the article's topic)." The images you placed were just fan art done by yourself. I know you are an admin but I still do not see any rationale for fan art done by the user themselves should be on an encyclopedic page.

 * They weren't by me. The reason I included them is because they are free license images, as opposed to the fair use images already present. --  Zanimum 16:54, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I am a Somali native speaker and a user of so.wikipedia.org (Somali wikipedia). there are some misused pages to be removed and some other translation to be done on the main page. I am not sure if you speak Somali if sow we could communicate in Somali. I would like to volunteer the Administrator/sysop work for so.wikipedia.org. --Mimursal 20:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry about the delay to reply. I see you have discovered "Requests for permissions". If you need my support, I will vote for you. --  Zanimum 15:09, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Don’t worry about the delay. Thanks for the support offer. I saw that you have indicated your support for me on Requests_for_permissions on meta wiki, but Walter has over crossed that support. So if you are still in the mood, please do it on this Requests_for_adminship page. --Mimursal 09:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Licensing Images
Hello there: I saw your note about licensing images on my talk page. But for the most part, to my knowledge I have been using the GFDL/Creative Commons by SA when uploading my pics to WikiMedia, such as this one I did earlier in the week: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:GreenHead01-AltesMuseum-Berlin.png. So I must be missing out on something then; is at an earlier image you are interested in? (or am I missing something when it comes to the GFDL/CC?) Cheers! Captmondo 22:49, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Great to here you've started! There were a few ones from like two years ago or more, in the TTC and Toronto folders. You're okay with these being relicensed? --  Zanimum 14:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:TaraSpencerNairn2.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:TaraSpencerNairn2.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, 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]. 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. -- Chowbok  ☠  21:02, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

List of longest running U.S. cable television series
I think I'm about 36 hours away from turning User:B.Wind/TV list sandbox into List of longest running U.S. cable television series as I had a particularly fruitful editing session last night. Any feedback you have will be most appreciated (please feel free to edit - the list probably needs a fresh perspective from someone without dyslexia). If it all looks good to everybody, I'll trim the comments and move the rest on Tuesday (November 15) or Wednesday (November 16). B.Wind 11:26, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I spotted your message on the VC talk page - thanks for the question and comment. The Virtual classroom is in its experimental stage.

1,500,000th article
Hi! You said that the snail article was one of four created at the same time.. out of curiosity, do you remember the other three? Which articles? Regards, Punkmorten 22:26, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm also interested in this matter (probably for the article in the Signpost this coming week). Thanks in advance. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page. Ian Manka 23:04, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * My decision was based on a comment to the main page talk by AmiDaniel: "It's not conclusive yet though--the contest seems to be between Kanab Ambersnail, Hotel Torni, and the one you mentioned. We won't know for sure for some time, so let's just try to stay calm". A while after he made it, there was no decision, so I decided to step in and just choose Kanab on the basis that it couldn't be declared trivial, as it is an endangered species, and that the article could easily be expanded. While the Hotel Torni did show promise, there was no guarantee that there'd be enough interest and easily available information to expand it. Other choices mentioned, like Alonzo Jackson, just seemed really dislikable. As there was no definitive answer, I saw no harm in choosing a symbolic 1,500,000th by making those judgement calls. Let me know if you want to know more. --  Zanimum 18:03, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Sherrie Westin
I've added the "prod" template to the article Sherrie Westin, 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 Notability). 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 Talk:Sherrie Westin. You may remove the dated prod template, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

 * Well, Ral315 was technically right in deleting it. American fair use law only is applicable when the image in question is used to illustrate in an editorial context, aka the article space. I've undeleted for the time being, but I recommend uploading it to a file hosting service, and just linking to there. --  Zanimum 14:27, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Your undeletion of Image:Bob rae posed 2006 campaign.JPG
Zanimum, why did you undeleted Image:Bob rae posed 2006 campaign.JPG? Did you consulted the admin who deleted it? And why do you believe the image is "not replaceable"? Best regards, --Abu Badali 22:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * None of the flickr photos of Rae are CC-BY, I've yet to hear back from anyone I contacted, urging relicensing. Because a random Wikinewsie applied to attend a Liberal event early the campaign, and didn't show up, we're unlikely to be able to get into this weekend's leadership vote. Rae will either become the leader of the federal opposition party, and be extremely hard to get a hold of, or he will lose, and disappear into private retirement. Additionally, his campaign manager personally encouraged the image's usage. Until Monday, there's no hope in heck I'd be able to converse with them, to ask them to relicense the image, due to the busy last minute campaigning. --  Zanimum 22:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, this means you dispute Quadell's decision to delete the image as replaceable. Don't you agree that going through Deletion review would be the proper course of actions? Simply reposting the image makes it a candidate for speedy deletion. --Abu Badali 22:38, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Is Wikipedia China Really Wikipedia?
Hey Nick, I just noticed you have posted a comment referring perspective readers of the report to Andrew Lih's response. There has been an ongoing discussion at the village pump at Chinese wikipedia. A concerned wikipedian posted a memo of contest to the mailing list. Ktsquare (talk) 06:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Reply
Actually, it is you that needs to read up a bit, the only comment on that talk page is from me! Secondly, there is clearly no consensus to use the images template, in fact there seems to largely be consensus not to use them. Do not add them back to the articles until the community has decided to do so.

Also, note that not deleting a template does not mean it should be used on articles, for the relevant discussions of no consensus see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Illustrated_Wikipedia, Administrators'_noticeboard and Village_pump_(policy). Martin 12:47, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Book anne of green gables.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Book anne of green gables.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hi, I recently replaced your uploaded cover image with an image of the original cover of the book per User:Chick Bowen/Bad book covers. A recent cover like yours technically would not be acceptable under the "replaceable" clause of our fair use policy, since the books' original covers, title pages, etc. would be free.

Tyler Kyte Interview
Thanks for the chance to comment on the questions for the Tyler Kyte interview. I'll give some thought to specific questions, and will get back to you in a day or two, unless you need something right away.

I used to do lots of interviews when I was a magazine editor. Two general comments: (1) do some easy lead-in questions as a warm-up, and then go for some open-ended questions that will provoke thought; and (2) find out what they are really excited about - what really engages their interest - and that will give you the most interesting angle for your story.

Thanks again. I'll be back with specifics.

Category:Cinemas And movie theaters in the United States
I notice that you (or your 'bot, more likely) yesterday removed the various Fox Theater articles from the category "Cinemas and movie theaters" and placed them in the category "Cinemas and movie theaters in the United States". Is this going to be an ongoing project to move all American movie theaters with WP articles to the more specific category? At the moment, the category link leads to that page with only the nine Fox theaters on it. I've been adding various theater pages I edit or stumble across to the old category for a while, but if the more specific national category is to become standard then I'll just start using that from now on.

RE: Reverting warnings
The user left three advertising messages on the VP, which I reverted, and left her a message for. The account has not edited since. Another user came along a couple of minutes later and posted a somewhat inflammatory warning, and I reverted that under WP:NPA, WP:CIVIL, WP:BITE, etc. Six hours later you posted an unnecessary test4 warning for some unknown reason. The user had already received one message for her edits, which was enough to make her stop. There was no need for any more warnings, especailly three hours after the event. -- Steel 14:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Tyler Kyte Interview
I'll try to get back to you on possible questions (I can think of several) by the end of this weekend. I have been super-busy at work (lots of overtime) because of deadlines for projects, and have also been sidetracked by having a Wikipedia article (on a singer) nominated for deletion, for reasons of notability. There is an ongoing debate.

Actually, I got to writing this article because of Alexz Johnson, in a way. One day, I was checking iTunes for her music, and was following the leads to artists mentioned in the "listeners also liked" section. I really liked one of the singers in that list - Alana Grace - and wound up writing an article on her. As an Alexz fan, you might like her too (some songs are at ) - another singer/songwriter who combines talent, training, and hard work. She has a CD coming out in a couple of months.

I'll be back to you soon with some suggested interview questions. Thanks for the opportunity to comment.

Suggested Questions for Tyler Kyte Interview
Here's a list of suggested questions. I used to be in the magazine business, and did cover story interviews once every two months, on average.

I found it helpful to think out the questions in advance and to share them with the interviewees, time permitting, to give them a chance to get their thoughts together in advance. You want them to really think about your questions - and the more that they can engage with the questions (and with your general approach), the more time you can get with them (e.g., half-hour interviews would often go to one hour). I used a tape recorder and later a digital voice recorder (DVR) for my interviews, since that helped with getting the quotes right. If it's a phone interview, you can hook a DVR up to your phone easily.

Here are some suggested questions, under various categories, with lead-in and a lead-out:

Acting Career
-	You certainly got an early start in acting. How old were you when you were on Popular Mechanics for Kids with Elisha Cuthbert? (She has played a key role on "24", as Jack Bauer's daughter.)

-	Did either you or Elisha ever imagine that your careers would take off the way that they have? (With Instant Star now being shown in 121 countries around the world, pulling in major ratings in big markets such as the USA, you are certainly well-known, and that must be giving a boost to your music career as well.)

-	Do you see yourself as primarily an actor or a musician, or a blend of both?

-	Do you find that Spiederman fits you well, or are you much different from that? If so, how so?

-	Do you get a chance to shape the Spiederman character and some of the situations in which he is involved?

-	From Stephen Stohn's postings on the CTV discussion board, we get the picture that it's a real team effort on Instant Star. They certainly are getting some fine performances from the cast, including yourself. Can you walk us through a bit of what it is like there?

-	Do you get a chance to shape some of the music on Instant Star? We heard some talk about "songwriting camps", and wondered if you were involved in those.

-	Is Season 3 basically a continuation of the characters and story lines, or does it break out into some new directions? What sorts of things can we expect next time around?

-	What can you tell us about Cory Lee, who plays the new character, Karma? Will she be some kind of nemesis for Jude? She certainly comes well-qualified, with a 2006 Juno nomination for best new R&B singer. (Note: For your info, Cory Lee's sister, Kim Urhahn, was the drummer for Lillix. Like Alexz, all of these folks are from B.C.)

Music Career
-	We first heard you as part of SME (Spiederman Mind Explosion) on Instant Star, and especially in the "Backstage Pass" show with Alexz Johnson at the beginning of 2006. You sounded great, especially on Another Thin Line and My Sweet Time - nice guitar work! (Note: I have good MP3s / WMAs of the live songs on Backstage Pass - those versions really are very good. If you don't have them, I can e-mail them to you, or can give you (in confidence) the coordinates of my Yahoo Briefcase (basically a mini-web site)).

-	Do you anticipate any further Alexz / SME concerts? Will you take some of the Instant Star songs on the road?

-	Have you previously worked with the other members of SME? Or did you get together just for the show? (Note: If he did work with them, ask further about Wally, the bass player, and Kyle, the drummer.)

-	How long have you played the guitar? Do you play other instruments? Did you also do vocal studies?

-	I notice that you are going forward as an independent musician, marketing your EP in part through MySpace. It looks like you are off to a good start: 7,000 fans signed up there, and over 230,000 plays of your songs on MySpace. What does it take for success as an independent these days? What skills and qualities have you had to develop, or are cultivating?

Alexz Johnson
-	In your next EP or CD, do you anticipate that Alexz Johnson might sing on any of the tracks?

-	Both you and Alexz have been in both the acting and music business for some time. What are some of the things that strike you in her approach to acting? If she is nominated again for a Gemini award for Best Performance, how would you make the case for the selection committee to give her the award? What scenes would you draw to their attention in making the case? (Of course, he can't say much about Season 3 at this point.)

-	Apparently, Alexz has a four-octave range and is opera-trained, in which case we havn't yet heard all of what she can do. Have you heard her over the full range, and are we going to be getting more of that on her solo CD?

-	Have you been involved in any of the development of Alexz' solo album? Can you tell us anything about any of the songs? What genre(s) will it be in?

Personal
(Note: By way of background, Tyler Kyte is originally from Lindsay. If you are from Ontario, you will recognize Lindsay as the centre of the Kawartha Lakes regions - cottage country par excellence.)

For a lead-out, if you have time, I would suggest the following:

-	Where do you want to be with your acting and your music, say, five years down the road? Do you see yourself evolving primarily as an actor or a musician, or both?

-	Where do you see Alexz going in the same time frame? Do you see her evolving primarily as an actress or a singer, or both? Have you heard about any projects that she is involved in aside from Instant Star and her solo CD?

Your removals from Sanger-related articles
I know he's doing nothing but argue about this co-founder stuff, but he's being civil, neither trolling nor vandalising.

Hi Zanimum
I'm sorry about my friends above. They're both good guys, and they've helped me tremendously. I think they're just trying to get a bit of attention. Perhaps I can help re-focus them both towards editing. They're both truly good editors. Sincerely, NinaEliza (talk • contribs • [ logs ] ) 16:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * On a side note, a bit of speculation. I think one or both of them might be worried about an article I'm involved in editing called Decline of Buddhism in India. I'm not entirely sure. In any event, I will try to express that I'm doing my best to hold my own in the situation, and that ultimately I'm not bothered. I have every confidence that in the long run, the situation will be handled - if not by me, then by folks with more knowledge of these issues than I have.

This "law" about fansites.
I had just edited back in the links the other night when they were removed, my reasoning being "What's a show without it's fans? Especially a site with the goal of bringing the show back?".

I understand if there were too many of them, and some were offline, but if you want to get down to it the Unofficial ReBoot Home Page is also a fansite.

I did a quick search of popular cartoon 'Code Lyoko', it's main fansites are still there. However I suppose could just be a matter of time before they too are removed.

 * What_Wikipedia_is_not


 * "Mere collections of external links or Internet directories. There is nothing wrong with adding one or more useful content-relevant links to an article; however, excessive lists can dwarf articles and detract from the purpose of Wikipedia. On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate, marking the link as such. See Wikipedia:External links and m:When should I link externally for some guidelines."


 * I'm not personally a fan of this, but yeah... if the community of editors actively involved in editing the Reboot article can debate which sites are the most relevant to keep, that would be good. Alternatively, if the DMOZ category for Reboot is good, or there's some sort of directory somewhere, by all means, a link to that would be encouraged.


 * As for Code Lyoko... One site is news related, two our run by people involved in the program, one is production company site, and the other is a true fansite. By that matter, each is warranted. --  Zanimum 15:25, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion about Centiare
You might be interested to read my comment about your comment about Centiare (as being "wacked and naïve") over here. --JossBuckle Swami 06:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * (Shrugs.) I'm still standing by my opinion. Everything is either a sentence, copyvio, or Florida. --  Zanimum 14:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. But, I wonder what Wikipedia looked like, three weeks after it opened to the public?  All I know is that Centiare's results on Google are OMITTING Wikipedia's results for the same content.  You have to "repeat the search with the omitted results included" to even see Wikipedia's entry.  Why would any business seeking to be found on Google even bother with Wikipedia's crazy rules about notability, conflict of interest, and such, when they will get better results at a wiki directory that actually welcomes them?  Like I said, Zanimum; I just don't think you understand Centiare and Semantic Web.  For all Jimmy Wales has done to DISCOURAGE corporate participation in Wikipedia, when a great alternative comes along, you'd think the Wikipedia community would endorse it, not mock it as you have. I think the Google search results speak for themselves; but you say it's "wacked and naïve". Let's check back in at the end of 2007 and see who was more correct. --JossBuckle Swami 13:56, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Greg, as far as we are concerned they are more than welcome to go to Centiare. Wikipedia is not and never has been a venue for advertising, and the fact that you think we would want to attract companies to come here and add themselves indicates, as usual,. your utter failure to understand what WIkipedia is.  We are not a business directory, we never were and we never will be.  We are an encyclopaedia.  We very much prefer articles to be wrotten by neutral third parties and we are perfectly happy if companies rejecte us as an advertising medium, because that is what we are not.  I don't think it could be any clearer.  Guy (Help!) 09:56, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Agreed. --  Zanimum 14:55, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Non-commercial images are not acceptable
Hi, Zanimum. I tagged Image:Sarah Polley.jpg for speedy deletion, as it's license at flickr is non-commercial and non-derivative, what's completely non-acceptable on Wikipedia.

Please, also note that the absence of a readly available free image does not justifies the use of an unfree one. You may want to read the relevant policy on the matter.

As and Admin, please consider deleting. the image if it's still up while you're readding this. Best regards, --Abu Badali 15:53, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable image (and invalid source: imdb.com)
Hi. Image:Jessica Sara actress.jpg is being used to illustrate a living person, and for such a free replacement could be created. As this image is not unique, historic or otherwise unreplaceable, I'm tagging it for deletion to make room for a free replacement. Also, note the imdb may not be used as an image's source, as it's never the image's original source or copyright holder. Not all images on imdb are ok for everyone to use as "promotional images". Images sent by celebrity agents to imdb may be, for instance, intended to be used promotionally only in imdb's website. Also, imdb constantly uses licensed images from photo agencies like WireImages, and the misuse of such images will be likely a copyright infrigment (and will help nothing to achieve or goal to produce free content).

Again, as an admin (and being the uploader), you could speedy this image in the case it's still up by the time you read this.

Best regards, --Abu Badali 16:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Tv_hnic_don_cherry.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Tv_hnic_don_cherry.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 that provides substantially the same information. 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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]. 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.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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]. 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. ShadowHalo 07:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Internet tubcat.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Internet tubcat.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --- RockMFR 19:59, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Aznavour and Sesame Street
Hello Zanimum,

yes, you were right about Charles Aznavour not being on Sesame street, I totally messed up on that one, haha. Thank you!

Avoid removing a delete tag from an image
Zanimum, why did you the Replaceable fair use tag from Image:Bobrae-premier.jpg before the time? This may be considered vandalism.

I have seen you committing mistakes like uploading non-commercial images, using imdb.com as a source for images, and. If you're confused about Wikipedia's policies and procedures about images, you should consider avoiding them at all.

For the record, according to the editor's own account, the "accusation" - your mistake - that she's mainly edited her own articles was the last straw of being hounded with WP:VANITY. With her and every one of her works in AfDs, she's left Wikipedia and is bitter and vindictive about it. I'm not saying she doesn't bear responsibility for throwing a tantrum, just... be more careful in the future. --Kizor 12:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
