Re: Copyright problems with File:Ginabeck.png
[edit]Hello, I hope I am communicating with the right person, I'm a bit new to this. The deletion of this file is due, I am sure, to my inexperience. Contrary to you thinking I copied it from the Casting callpro website, in fact I copied it from the subject's own website at http://ginabeck.co.uk/CV.pdf with the agreement of her agent. I must say the conditions surrounding uploading images and copyright seem to be a complete minefield and I am struggling to know how to proceed. Can you provide any help? Thanks.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Greenewlogo.png)
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Greenewlogo.png. 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) 05:25, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Octobass flute
[edit]Good photo, but it looks much too small to be a double contrabass flute. See [1] and you'll see what I'm talking about. Badagnani (talk) 09:09, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
We've got articles on all the sizes. I think he's calling a contrabass flute (one octave lower than the bass) an "octobass." But we can only be sure if we write him, ask how many octaves below the regular concert flute it is, and who made his instrument. Do you want to do it? Otherwise maybe we could ask Maria Ramey to use her photo, which shows how massive the real double contrabass flute is. Badagnani (talk) 09:18, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I'll email her now. Badagnani (talk) 09:21, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Great that you're interested and have expertise. I think this is one we didn't know about. I just listened and it sounds fantastic. I think "a tessiture la rapproche du violoncelle : elle s’étend sur trois octaves et demie (partant du la grave situé une tierce au-dessous du do de la corde basse du violoncelle)" means that its lowest note is an A a third below the low C of the cello. I've never heard of a flute that went down to low A (don't they usually go down to low C or G?), so that's weird. That would put it between the contrabass flute and double contra-alto flute.
Can you somehow get photos of the rare smaller ones like the treble flute and flute d'amour?
I'm excited because Matthias Ziegler is coming to perform in Cleveland this winter. Badagnani (talk) 09:39, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I think this is a double contra-alto flute.[2] Badagnani (talk) 09:44, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
We already have articles on the flute, concert flute, and all the various sizes. I think it's good to have all of them, as they can only grow. Each instrument has its own identity, as do, for example, the different saxophones, clarinets, or violin-family instruments. Badagnani (talk) 09:52, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I think that exists already. Badagnani (talk) 09:57, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
Awesome, it looks great, but we already had Western_concert_flute#Members_of_the_concert_flute_family. Excellent getting the treble flute photo; how did you do that? I got three from Maria Ramey, of the contrabass, double contra-alto, and double contrabass. Badagnani (talk) 18:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
I have one more to upload. Did you know about the instant WP-to-Commons tool? Badagnani (talk) 18:53, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
About time you had one of these...

Fair use rationale for File:Giveawayoftheday.JPG
[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Giveawayoftheday.JPG. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 07:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:St johns oxford crest.png
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:St johns oxford crest.png. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add
{{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template. - On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BencherliteTalk 21:16, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

The article Southampton Music Services has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Doesn't meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, which is required for an article like this to be included in the encyclopaedia.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wadham College Oxford entry is being sabotaged
[edit]Dear Fluteflute, Sorry to bug you with this: can I please ask you for help with an issue with the "Wadham College, Oxford" wikipedia page? Given that you also made a few edits for that entry I thought you may care to know that the entry for Wadham College is being sabotaged by a user (131.111.185.25, who may be the same as 131.111.194.10, I'm not sure). The user has changed that wiki entry back to how it was before the major revision I had made in December 2013. I'm a total newbie to Wikipedia, but I put a lot of effort in trying to improve the horrible page that has now been put back by that user. Is there anything one can do? Lots of other wikipedia users had since improved the changes I had made (e.g. more neutral language, etc.), so I don't think the version we had on June 24 was lacking neutrality. The revisions of 25 June 2014 by 131.111.185.25 and on 28 June 2014 by 131.111.194.10 are reverting the entry back to how it was before December 2013. Is there anything one can do? That user is doing a great disservice to the Wikipedia community who have worked hard to improve that page. Thanks for any help you may have time for! Rp31 (talk) 22:35, 29 July 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of Doctor Who – Battles in Time issues
[edit]The article List of Doctor Who – Battles in Time issues has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- The magazine is notable and has an article. But the individual issues, even as a list, seem to lack all notability.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Draft:List of Honour Schools of the University of Oxford requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from {{{value1}}}. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
