Surrender Monkeys

Hi - I tried to edit your addition to Culturally significant phrases from The Simpsons but decided to remove it. I think it would be better placed added into the page for Cheese-eating surrender monkeys which is the phrase Willie used in the episode, and perhaps also to the trivia/cultural references section for the episode.

As regards the wording of your para, the phrase Surrender Monkeys was in popular use before that front page of the NYP so I don't think it would be right to imply that the NYP page followed directly from The Simpsons, which is what the page is trying to list. Let me know if you want to discuss this or think it's unfair --Mortice 19:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mortice -- I agree that the information would go well in both of the locations you mentioned. I would submit, though, that the reason it also belongs here is that a when phrase is used in the front-page banner headline of a major daily paper, it's crossed a threshold and become "culturally significant." If you do a Google news search, "surrender monkeys" is now being used by news agencies as they discuss the Post headline, whereas before it was used pretty much within the Simpsons community. In other words. not as popular as "d'oh" but certainly more so than "tomacco."

Do a quick Google news search for the phrase and tell me what you think. -- Jstohler 20:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right. Sorry, I had the idea that the phrase had been around ever since the second world war, but you're right, from browsing the google results, it does appear that The Simpsons invented the term, in which case it's a prime example of the sort of thing that should be on this page. I'll make some edits to the wording though --Mortice 20:55, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Mortice. Good talking with you. Jstohler 21:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

BTW I added the link James Baker but I don't know if that's the right guy - do you know? --Mortice 21:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Will & Jaden Smith have GG Noms 4 The Pursuit of Happyness

I dunno y u deleted WS'& Jaden Smith's Golden Globe noms when u added that POH was the #1 movie & WS's 6th #1 movie, etc, etc...; but pls dont. They r both nominated.

I didn't. You need to learn how to read a history. Jstohler 02:23, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Let me tell you what you need to do: Come of you're horse. You neiter a king nor a God. I looked at the page and following my update and yours is what followed and had the GG info removed/deleted. Now I've looked again at history again and it is fine. Perhaps you "hid" the change like Wiki headman Jim Wales did? Perhaps(more likely) it is a fluke like over the weekend when the main page was vandalised with a giant pic of a penis, but when my I asked others to check the wiki main page, only some saw it, while other didnt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 208.58.196.156 (talk) 05:35, 19 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Hal Turner Edit

Hey, just wondering if you could cite yourself here?--JamesHarrison 03:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, it's the Nation article that's referenced at the bottom of the page. Jstohler 03:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Nypost surrender monkeys.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Nypost surrender monkeys.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 '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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.BetacommandBot 05:16, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Bang album cover.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Bang album cover.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 04:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:Matthew_miller.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Matthew_miller.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jusjih (talk) 02:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Simpsons Trivia

WP:TRIVIA -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're misinterpreting the statement. What it says is that you shouldn't go through 100 articles and remove every trivia section without even reading them. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 17:33, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

February 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Babar the Elephant has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \byoutube\.com (links: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67b1vcjqlcc.). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 18:56, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of June (band) 2

A tag has been placed on June (band) 2 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 13:48, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Cousins (song) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1e0u11rgd9Q (matching the regex rule \byoutube\.com). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file. Video links are also strongly deprecated by our guidelines for external links, partly because they're useless to people with slow internet connections.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:55, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which is all hilarious because of course Wikipedia IS a collection of links. They're all over the place. Does linkbot plan to remove ALL of them?

Orphaned non-free image File:Nypost surrender monkeys.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Nypost surrender monkeys.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 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 04:42, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
