Orphaned non-free media (File:Hoover Logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading File:Hoover Logo.svg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:08, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the improvements to the dates. I've written hundreds of articles on horses, but I'm a complete novice when it comes to human biography, so I'm grateful for any help/improvements/advice.  Tigerboy1966  07:10, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Budge Wilson, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Halifax, Nova Scotia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

More Chao$

I have just blocked Rpelrl (talk · contribs) for 24 hours for repeatedly removing speedy tags from incoherent articles about songs etc from "Chao$"; but I gather from this that he should be indeffed. Is there an SPI for this case, or a known sockmaster to refer to when blocking? JohnCD (talk) 22:51, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, should be indeffed. Let me pull up the whole gist of things. I had just found this out myself when I saw User:NawlinWiki salt and block one of these accounts for Long term abuse. – Connormah (talk) 22:52, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
See User:Cory Washington, User:Jude Enemy, along with the deleted pages created. IIRC this has been ongoing for a while - I remember encountering one of the pages (usually a huge string of copy/paste from another article) a while back (I think the account triggered the abuse filter for LTI), and I blocked that account you mentioned a couple days ago, so these accounts should be blocked on sight, I think. – Connormah (talk) 22:56, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. Indeffed. (Sigh) - and I spent some time writing helpful advice, thinking he was a newbie. Ah well, that's life. JohnCD (talk) 23:13, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
No worries. I think I AGF'd a bit too much when I first encountered this user, but something seemed fishy due to the style of the articles - this didn't seem too much like a clueless user at first. Good thing I found the case... – Connormah (talk) 23:17, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
  • I clerk at SPI, so if you will put together a rough case, file it, ping me, I will clean up to make sure we have the oldest, etc. and just close it so we have a record to refer back to. As you see below, I've been catching them and having to blind block and delete a bit. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 00:42, 7 October 2012 (UTC)

CHao$

Looks like a G5, long term abuse, but your last block didn't have enough info to determine and no record of User:Rlror or User:Rlroror was found searching SPI or Long term abuse, even tho that was the rationale for those blocks/deletes. Obviously, an end around the salting of Chao$, but I will leave to you. More detail in the block would be appreciated, and a ping on my talk page if it isn't too much trouble.

Block on User talk:31.25.3.88

Hi Connormah, Just to say thanks for putting a block on the above shared IP address. Never like reporting educational extablishments. However this was a chronic case and I had thought my earlier report to AIV had fallen on deaf ears despite the dreadful history of vandalism. Interested to know if me putting a longstanding vandal template had an effect as there were no further user edits after the one I reported. - Much appreciated, Tmol42 (talk) 22:16, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Not really, I just observed that the most recent vandal edits have been spread out over a few weeks and felt that a longer block would prevent future ones. I do not feel the need for an IP with a block history for vandalism with little to no constructive edits to have 4 warnings again after a previous block (because frankly, IMO it's a waste of our time) before blocking again for vandalism. – Connormah (talk) 22:20, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. I do think the policy on a repeat of vandalism being more than 24 hours after a final warning is a tad impractical so seeing some pragmatism from an Admin is v.refreshing, cheers Tmol42 (talk) 22:41, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Bonnie Lou

Billboard January 1, 1972 page 14-ad for "There's Been More Sun Than Rain". Would you mind taking a look at this? I think this is the right lady, as it mentions Midwest Hayride. The show was known as either Midwestern Hayride or Midwest Hayride. If this is the right person, we should be able to grab the photo from the ad, since it has no separate copyright marks. We may also run into a larger version of the same photo later on and be able to substitute that. We hope (talk) 18:17, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Yes, looks to be good. Nice find! – Connormah (talk) 22:15, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
And here you are! :) File:Bonnie Lou 1972.jpg Had seen this before but thought this might not be the right person because there's no mention in her bio about these songs or this company. When I checked eBay, there was material for another female singer calling herself Bonnie Lou but I believe she was working strictly in the North Carolina area on radio much earlier. I'll keep checking and see if we can get hold of an identical photo that's better quality and larger and if I can, will upload that over this one. We hope (talk) 00:34, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Index

Hi!, I see you are adding dates from a "Quebec death index". Can you give me information about it please? What is that Quebec death index? Where is it found? Can it be used freely? Is it reliable? Thanks in advance. -- Asclepias (talk) 17:28, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm currently using the Quebec Death Index, 1926–1996, from the Quebec Genealogical Society, available through The Drouin Institute. It is not free, though a 1 month subscription is only around 13 dollars. All the dates of death I have entered have matching dates of birth, names of mothers and fathers, and sometimes spouses as published in reliable sources in the index entries. – Connormah (talk) 20:54, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Kitty Wells, et. al.

Ran into a Grand Ole Opry souvenir book with quite a few photos in it. There are now categories at Commons for Kitty Wells, Johnnie Wright and Jack Anglin. You'll see a couple of "Johnnie and Jack" photos there, along with a photo of the family and Roy Acuff as they played the RKO Palace in NYC in 1955. Daughter Ruby was part of this too, and you see her in the photo. One of the pages the seller scanned was a bio of Kitty written by her manager. I grabbed it because it looks like it has material in it we don't have here. The "basic" upload for all of this is at File:Grand Ole Opry souvenir picture album circa 1957.JPG. We hope (talk) 23:01, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Longacre

As you can see, I'm back on James B. Longacre. I came on another source, which convinced me I have enough for a solid run at FA. I'm sure I can find a signature.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:23, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Cool, should be interesting how it turns out. Signature shouldn't be a problem, I can do some looking as well if you'd like. – Connormah (talk) 19:25, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Why don't you, if you have a spare moment, so I can concentrate on the writing. Whatever other attention you can give to the article would be appreciated. I'm figuring for images a mix of coins, his engravings, portraits of him, plus I think his sketches are fairly readily available in my coin books. I can scan.--Wehwalt (talk) 20:25, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
Sure. What kind of documents should I be looking for, if you don't mind me asking? Letters? Engravings? – Connormah (talk) 20:31, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
He did a self portrait in the 1840s, here. A nice version of that would be great to have. Plus his signature of course.--Wehwalt (talk) 00:20, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
I'll do some looking later tonight. Any chance you would know where the portrait here came from? It looks like it may be tough to find images of him, almost all he hits when I search are of his engravings, but I suppose two portraits of him should suffice.. – Connormah (talk) 02:35, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
No I do not. While he has been dead long enough that it is unlikely that a photographer of him survived to 1942 (73 years after his death), I need to look at the rules for non-published works.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps this or this may work? Not sure on the licensing though, it's been a while since I've found images for you! – Connormah (talk) 02:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Licensing should be good, death plus seventy, and PD-ART should work. My, one of them was from when he was 13. Talented fella.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
Congrats on the OTRS!--Wehwalt (talk) 13:48, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. I should now be able to help you with this, once I get to learn the ropes of it... I'll see if I can get the Longacre images uploaded soon also. – Connormah (talk) 13:54, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
I've got Longacre at GAN, though I need to sit down and give it a good, detailed read through. Your link to the Smithsonian was very helpful, I never would have thought of looking there. Can you play with the images for best effect? With the galleries, I'm pretty much copying code there, and probably there are better ways of doing what I want. Can you also remove the background and adjust the obverse (which seems to have been put in slightly crooked here? Some of the images from my cross-country coin trip in 2011 are starting to come in handy. With four or five coin articles prepared of decent quality, I may put off taking Longacre to FAC as I may be going to the ANA library in January (no time to visit Colorado Springs if you do not ski, but I will manage). I have no doubt the galleries will be questioned at FAC, but he was an artist. It's allowed.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:22, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Sorry - seems that I missed this, I'll take a look. Will try to get the background removal this weekend. – Connormah (talk) 20:55, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
No problem. No great hurry either, it's second or third to FAC. Also, could you make this image vertically oriented rather than horizontal? Be more page friendly.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:49, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
I see that's been done, thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:22, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

O Canada

The next Canada article will be Smallwood, I got his memoirs and two bios. Unlikely I will start work before Christmas due to travel schedule. Shouldn't be a problem having it ready for Canada Day. Can you do a little image hunt when the time comes?--Wehwalt (talk) 22:23, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Sounds good! I can do some looking but images will probably be a good challenge... – Connormah (talk) 04:45, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Possibly Canada pre-1946 might apply, if it applies to Newfoundland then.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Oh right, Newfoundland didn't join until 1949 (duh) - would you think this may complicate things a bit? – Connormah (talk) 23:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
I really don't know. There is presumably something in Canadian law about how to do this, since the St. John's newspapers would want to know when their copyrights expire. I'm going to work on the assumption that it did until shown otherwise.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:12, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
May be a good idea to talk to the folks at the Centre for Newfoundland Studies at the Memorial University of Newfoundland - they have some helpful folks over there who may be able to help with images (perhaps even a portrait for the lede). – Connormah (talk) 23:33, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Seems worth it, I'll remember that.--Wehwalt (talk) 23:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
Perhaps even the Legislative Library or Provincial Archives also - the archives in Newfoundland seem to be pretty helpful in general - they were all willing to help me with tracking down an MP, my general experiences with archives aren't usually like this and it's a nice change. – Connormah (talk) 23:38, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
That sounds good. They are perhaps used to people not being able to get to them ...--Wehwalt (talk) 00:01, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

Truman assasination attempt video in Harry S. Truman - copyright situation?

Hello Connormah, i think, User:Wehwalt already asked you about this video, but MiszaBot archived it. The YouTube video [[2]] is used as external link in the Harry S. Truman article. It feels, like the video should be PD, but the whole copyright situation is quite unclear. Could you check this video to avoid using a possible copyvio in a (hopefully soon) Featured Article? Thanks for any feedback and assistance, you can provide. (i saw the "busy" template, so no hurry :) ). GermanJoe (talk) 09:45, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

No, I had overlooked asking you, although I had said I was going to, and then forgot. I think it's PD on no copyright notice pre-1978 but would be grateful for another opinion.--Wehwalt (talk) 13:26, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Jack Broderick

Here's one for you: can you confirm the date of death someone added to Jack Broderick? Definitely in Ontario, probably Cornwall. I have no doubt that it's accurate but, you know, verifiability before truth and all that. Canadian Paul 15:17, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

Another one I can't figure out: Gregory Mangin. SSDI has an entry for a Gregory Mangin born November 1, 1907 who died in October 1979 in New Jersey, which seems to be a match, but then there's an article (I can't link directly to it) in Google News Archive called "Gregory Mangin, 89; tennis master, teacher" from The San Diego Union Tribune, dated April 29, 1998, which looks like an obituary from the title. What do you think? Canadian Paul 17:17, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for trying. I would lean towards assuming that he died in 1998 but, without being able to read the article, I can't confirm it. Oh well, I'll add a note to the talk page. Canadian Paul 20:22, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
I did read them. Technically he could have returned to New Jersey in 1979 and died (or died in Brazil and the recorded something different for his place of death), but I agree that, considering he moved to California per whatever that article is, the article is most certainly an obituary for him. Without being able to prove it though, and without an SSDI entry to back it up, I can't add it. Canadian Paul 20:34, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
Eh, no need in wasting the money. Sooner or later I'll come across someone with access and the mystery will be solved although, if you're convinced, I wouldn't stop you from just adding it to his article. Canadian Paul 20:41, 16 November 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Gateway Logo (October 1998-2003).svg)

Thanks for uploading File:Gateway Logo (October 1998-2003).svg. 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 '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.

Too-large non-free images you uploaded

In future, when you upload non-free images, could you please keep the image dimensions around 100K pixels as discussed in WP:NFC, or at least <160K pixels (at which point a bot rather brutally whacks 'em back into compliance, but you wouldn't like the results). I'm reducing as I encounter them - as Paris says, "They're huuuuuuge." We can discuss here if you like (I use my watchlist). --Lexein (talk) 12:02, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about those. New mac user here, and all my image screenshots turn out to be huge...oh well, I'll figure it out soon enough. Thanks though. – Connormah (talk) 21:31, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
Heh - dang Macs, with their dang big screens. By the way, screengrabs of some free software or open source software may also be free - check their licensing pages. Above, I should have been more specific, I was referring to File:Young Jay Gould and Hamilton Burhans.jpg (I resized and requested renaming since your upload). All non-free images need to be unfortunately sorta dinky per WP:NFC. I push the limits wherever possible and sensible: at WP:NFC 100K is advised, 160K is the (secret) hard limit set by the bot, but I can't justify that many px for a low-detail non-free person photo. --Lexein (talk) 03:20, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Well actually I'm not sure that those images are non-free - the yearbooks that they came from may not have copyright notices - maybe I can check later. But thanks for the heads up et al. – Connormah (talk) 07:15, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Warmath

I'm not sure of your point. Although non-free, the UMN picture is clearly more indicative of the subject matter and thus a "better" picture. It's like the lead picture on the Johnny Unitas page being from his single season with the San Diego Chargers. Who cares if it isn't free - I think the question is whether it can be used or not on Wiki and since it hasn't been pulled off (and I've been following the page for awhile), it clearly can be used. Not angry or trying to be a contrary jerk, Wiki is after all only a hobby to any of us, but it appears that your change boils down to personal preference and doesn't improve the page - which should be the central guideline of any edit.

Southwest Conference Men's Basketball Players of the Year

I need to flesh out the article Southwest Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year because another editor thought it'd be cute to create a kitten, but I was wondering if you could assist me in determining some past winners. There is no one source that has a comprehensive last of yearly winners, so it's a piecemeal work in progress (much like the SWAC POY article).

If you check out {{Southwest Conference Men's Basketball Player of the Year navbox}}, you'll see which years are missing. Is there any chance you could see what your sources say? I'm going to be pinging Cbl62 as well. Jrcla2 (talk) 21:54, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Raymond Reierson.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Raymond Reierson.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 15:24, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Photos

I have Al Molinaro in my folder of uploads "to do" :-). Jimmy Durante has a category at Commons-what about using this one? File:Jimmy durante 1964.JPG There's also a category for Gene Autry at Commons--you might take a look at what's there now and I'll try to get hold of more. Will keep eyes open to see what I might find for the two Kansas members; Anna Wing and Herbert Lom may be more difficult for free use because they weren't working in the US. However, sometimes you can find a free photo with an acceptable license at Flickr. I found this File:Beatles in Birmingham 1963.jpg at Flickr with a Commons-friendly license. Will start looking and see what's out there. ;-) We hope (talk) 21:33, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Will have a look-everything I've seen lately for Kansas has been post 1978. There's probably something we can use at Billboard. In the meantime, was able to get hold of a better copy of this File:Jimmy durante 1964.JPG for Jimmy Durante. We hope (talk) 23:47, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Steinhardt Billboard photo

The trouble with the photo is that it's part of Billboard, not an ad. It's editorial content and would be under copyright. Starting somewhere in the mid 60s, they started taking small photo ads on the front of the magazine, but they're clearly marked as ads. If you look at the first upload of this File:Martha and the Vandellas 1965.JPG, you can see the ad mark.

Sometimes you can find a small photo in an ad that wouldn't be useful as is, but if you can "match" it to a larger copy of the photo, the Billboard ad publication works to free up the bigger photo as in this one File:Dinah Washington 1952.jpg.

I did find a Kirshner Records 1977 ad here, and we could try going with that for a group photo, but there seems to be something wrong with the Google mag tools on this Billboard copy because it won't scroll with the hand tool, enlarge or move the sidebar away. We can date this Kirshner/Epic promo photo to 1976, but need to find an unwatermarked copy of it, and/or keep looking through eBay for record company ads from either Billboard or CashBox that we can attribute and date. The other photos up on eBay are either not before 1978 or are clearly newspaper photos from concerts and the copyright on those would belong to the newspaper who took them. I think we can get something going, but it might take a little time, effort and patience to get it done. We hope (talk) 15:03, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Both Kerry Livgren and Robby Steinhardt have their own websites now, and their sites do have some nice pix on them. What about e-mailing their contacts and asking for permission to use a photo for them and then putting the permissions through OTRS if they're given? We hope (talk) 16:44, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
In the meantime, if I find anything we can use, I'll upload it and let you know. Better to have more photos than be in the situation we're in now with them. We hope (talk) 18:26, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Congressional photos

Hi Conormah, I've noticed that you've been uploading lots of high-res congressional portraits recently, and I'm just curious about how you manage to find them on the congressional websites. I haven't been able to find them on most of the sites I've checked, but yours, which are sourced to those sites, seem to be very high-res and official-looking. Since a few congresspeople are still missing photos, I was hoping to find out how to access them. Thanks. Delaywaves • talk 01:58, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Z. D. Scott, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Populist Party and Co-operative Commonwealth (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I'll look at it, but I"m a bit snowed right now.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:56, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Busch Gardens Williamsburg Logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading File:Busch Gardens Williamsburg Logo.svg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:11, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

Eva Aariak

Just wondering if you could tweak the birth date reference a bit. It would look better is you changed it to something like "E-mail from the Office of Premier Eva Aariak, OTRS ticket #XXXXXXX". I almost reverted this because it wasn't clear where the email was sent from and to who. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 17:21, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Will do, thanks. Normally I would leave the whole date out, but in this case, I think the same date with a 1970s year of birth was spread around the web from this article, so I think it would be better to set the record straight. – Connormah (talk) 17:25, 2 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks. Yep it appears as if the original date was spread from here around the web. I was able to find one source that was not a Wikipedia copy that gave 1955 but noting else. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 20:00, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Don Willson

I came across this article that says that Elmer Lach is the oldest living Montreal Canadien. Do you think that's good enough to move Willson from "Possibly living" to "Year of death missing"? Canadian Paul 00:47, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
