Non-free use disputed for Image:Onmyown.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Onmyown.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:20, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Tri_rail_map.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Tri_rail_map.gif. 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 16:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia 16:22, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Miami-area special project: Your input needed!

Dear Johnnyjoe23,

You appear to be active in WikiProject Miami, or have contributed a lot recently to Miami-related articles. I would like to invite you to contribute your opinions on a grant proposal for a project that may provide unique and helpful resources for Wikipedia in Miami.

Over the last six months, Wikipedia and Wikinews have been discussing a project proposal with the Knight Foundation which could create a new type of an environment for locally-oriented encyclopedic and news content. The general idea involves an official sanctioning of a local Wiki community in one or two charter areas, one of them being Miami. The Wiki community would be empowered to cover all things Miami -- even things that normally would not pass notability restrictions -- and cover both encyclopedic information as well as current events in the South Florida community. The proposal may even involve the creation of a physical "wiki space": some sort of a local room or office to coordinate efforts and provide community members with a place to create and edit articles.

I'm working on formalizing the proposal, and would like to invite you and other Miami contributors to a project brainstorming session via chat. The chat will take place this Saturday, July 14th, at 12 noon Eastern Time (9am Pacific). If enough people can't make it there will be an additional repeat meeting at some later time.

The online meeting will happen using IRC on the channel #wikipedia-miami -- you can use your own chat client or the use this handy link to join the chat. Please don't forget to provide your username when you log into chat.

I look forward to talking with you. Thanks! -- IlyaHaykinson 04:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Metrorailmap.JPG

Replaceable fair use
Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Metrorailmap.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 {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, 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 fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Dream out loud (talk) 18:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:1968.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article.

One Life to Live images

I personally like the new images you've uploaded, but there was a specific reason that screenshots were used previously. Promotional photos are generally considered replaceable, while screenshots are OK under fair use. As soon as someone notices, they will probably put up for deletion, as was recently done with all the Passions images. I wish you had uploaded these images separately and not just replaced the old ones with your new images. TAnthony 05:44, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, fair use images are only supposed to be used for characters, not to show what performers look like (see #8 here), so your use of images in Erika Slezak, Robin Strasser etc. are not appropriate and will surely be removed from the articles and perhaps deleted. I don't have the strength to clean this up right now, but please familiarize yourself with fair usse rules before you make any more massive changes like this. TAnthony 06:01, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Kassie DePaiva

I've corresponded with her before and she liked the way her Wikipedia page looked, but this was over a year ago. I would suggest e-mailing her and telling her you cleaned up her page; she might give you some good input. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 02:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:1968.jpg

I have tagged Image:1968.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 00:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Soap opera moves of the woman's last name

Hello, Johnnyjoe23. It's best not to move the woman's article of her maiden name or the name that she is mostly known by to her married name...unless she is also well-known by her married name. What I mean about that is explained in this link.

However, since Blair Cramer has been married to Todd Manning as many times as she has, the name Manning has become as common a name for her as her maiden name, and therefore I won't move her article from Blair Cramer Manning back to Blair Cramer...yet. Blair is an exception concerning this topic, much like Kendall Hart Slater is, when it comes to moving the woman's maiden name to her married name. But cases such as Jessica Buchanan are not, considering that Jessica is mostly known to television viewers as Jessica Buchanan, not by her married name.

On a different note, I also need to tell you that fair-use images are not allowed on Wikipedia to depict real-life people. Yes, we can use fair-use images in an article of a real-life person to depict them as a fictional character that they have portrayed or are portraying...or for cover art (album cover, magazine cover, etc.), but not for the main (introduction) image within an article, such as the image you added to the Trevor St. John article. If you don't remove that image, it'll mostly likely get removed by another editor here at Wikipedia (however long that takes). Anyway, I'll see you around. Flyer22 19:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

RFA

Hello, I see you have recently had an unsuccessful RFA. You may find the following advice helpful. If you have not done so already, please read

Generally, nominees returning after an unsuccessful RfA should wait at least another 3,000 edits and 3 months before trying again. Nominees need to show the ability to contribute a number of significant edits to build the encyclopedia.
  • The Admin tools allow the user to block and unblock other editors, delete and undelete pages and protect and unprotect pages. Nominees will therefore do well to gain experience and familiarity with such areas as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, WP:CSD, Wikipedia:Protection policy, and WP:BLOCK to learn when to do these things.
  • Adminship inevitably leads one to 1) need to explain clearly the reasons for one's decisions, 2) need to review one's decisions and change one's mind when it is reasonable to do so, 3) need to review one's decisions and stand firm when it is reasonable to do so, 4) need to negotiate a compromise. Admins need a familiarity with dispute resolution. The ability to communicate clearly is essential.
  • I recommend taking part in RfA discussions to help learn from the experiences of others. Many nominees have found it helpful to obtain an Editor Review or to receive Admin coaching before submitting their RfA. Hope this helps. Good luck and happy editing. Hope this helps. Dlohcierekim 22:04, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey Johnnyjoe23, I am leaving you this message to inform you that I have closed you RfA early (though it looks like Dlohcierekim beat me) on the grounds that it is not likely to pass at this given point in time. Please do not get discouraged, you can always go for another RfA in the future. I recommend that you take the comments made in the oppose section and address some of those concerns along with take a peak at WP:ADMIN and the admin’s reading list. Let me know if there is any way I can be of assistance or if you have any questions in relation to adminship, Tiptoety talk 22:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Freeyourselfsingle.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Image permission problem with Image:8thste.jpg

Image Copyright problem
Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:8thste.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may 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. Rockfang (talk) 05:39, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Sandra P. Grant

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Sandra P. Grant, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable actress

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

File source problem with File:FinancialCenter.jpg

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:FinancialCenter.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

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 02:00, 6 September 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 02:00, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Metro_cc.jpg

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Metro_cc.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thank you for uploading File:Love_Is_Here_and_Now_You're_Gone.ogg. 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 file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Chris G Bot (talk) 00:18, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Johnnyjoe23! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 6 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hi johnnyjoe/FrickFrack, in this article I noticed you updated the image for the single's cover. How many different picture covers does this single have, and which is the "official" one. You do just as many edits on The Supremes articles than me (well, I'm sure you do a whole lot more). You can talk to me on my talk page if you like. Thanks! Best, --Discographer (talk) 06:57, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Todd Manning article

Hello, FrickFrack. The fact that the character had plastic surgery is a significant part of his history (having it right there near the beginning of the lead quickly explains how the transition was done); it should be in the lead, per WP:LEAD. I am okay with going with your wording of "The role has been portrayed since 2003 by Trevor St. John, who entered the role upon Howarth's departure," as long as we add "as Todd physically revised following plastic surgery." If you have a better way of rewording that, though, I would be for that as well.

As for bolding Trevor St. John's name in the infobox, I do not feel that it is needed (with the lead and him as the main image and all), but I don't hugely object to it. Flyer22 (talk) 20:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
