For GA, could you hold off on nominating articles that I've created or improved?

The soap opera articles that you've been nominating lately for GA are articles that I've greatly improved, one of which I created. I am a little upset that you nominated all of these articles without consulting with me first. Now I'm not conceited enough to think that you would automatically know who I am, but you could have checked the edit history of these articles to see who mainly edits them. I would have informed you that none of these articles are ready for GA, except Todd Manning. The Todd article only needed/needs a few more tweaks and it would have been/will be ready for GA, and I am upset that it was listed for GA, but at least that listing was rejected.

As someone who is experienced in what it takes for articles to reach GA (Good Article) or FA (Featured Article) status, I would appreciate you consulting with me first about articles I've created or improved before listing those articles for GA or FA. Flyer22 (talk) 05:46, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You can and should also consult with them first, especially since you're a part of that project, like me. Flyer22 (talk) 03:24, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Greenleesmythe.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Greenleesmythe.jpg. 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) 09:59, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Consult with me first

I mentioned above could you talk with me first before nominating articles for GA or FA that I've greatly improved? I could have told you, for instance, that the Jesse Hubbard and Angie Baxter article is not ready for a GA (Good Article) nomination.

I've asked you before to hold off on doing this to articles I've greatly improved. Now I'm asking you again. I really do not want to see you ignore this and then go nominate the Tad Martin and Dixie Cooney article, or the Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone article, etc. Flyer22 (talk) 20:37, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of List of Degrassi: The Next Generation cast members

I have nominated List of Degrassi: The Next Generation cast members, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Degrassi: The Next Generation cast members. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Replaceable fair use Image:AmandaBaker_L07.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:AmandaBaker_L07.jpg. 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. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 02:50, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Duplicate File:Dinahaskelly.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on File:Dinahaskelly.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because File:Dinahaskelly.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting File:Dinahaskelly.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

License tagging for File:Taylorthompsonamc.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Taylorthompsonamc.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Stop replacing the pictures

I've asked you before to stop replacing the promotional pictures with the faded or otherwise less-appealing screenshots. The promotional pictures are thus far allowed. Until the day that they are actually "officially" targeted to be removed, they need not be removed. Some fictional character articles have promotional pictures; some don't. They do not all have to have promotional pictures or screenshots. If a character articles has a promotional picture and it is fine, then refrain from removing it without discussing it first when there are editors who may object to the removal.

Knowing what the children look like does not help the reader to understand the funeral, and this image is clearly in violation of our non-free content criteria- it shows three living people, and so is replaceable, and is of a current event, with the copyright belonging to a news agency. This means that it has an extremely high commercial value, and our use here replaces the original role of the media, lowering its value considerably. J Milburn (talk) 21:58, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Adamandrafe.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Adamandrafe.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I've tagged all the images at the bottom of Adam Wilson (The Young and the Restless) the same way. You cannot say the purpose of a non-free file is "illustration". That is basically saying the image is for decoration, which is forbidden under our non-free content guidelines. You need a clear, detailed, and customized rationale for each individual image.

Your request for rollback

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

Re:Adam Wilson (The Young and the Restless)

I'm sorry, what are you talking about? If you think some of them should be kept, you're welcome to explain why, but I am not going to sit and wait for something to be decided by someone before I remove abuse of non-free content. J Milburn (talk) 16:21, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't really care what a WikiProject says, that doesn't suddenly give you authority to ignore the NFCC. Any WikiProject that believes articles have some kind of entitlement to two non-free images in their infobox needs overhauling. Articles do not have a right to any non-free images, every one of them must be justified. J Milburn (talk) 18:18, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Yrlogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Yrlogo.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 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 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 non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Billie Jean

I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. Someone who has not worked on the article can not provide this input, so the nomination may continue until opposition to it becomes so overwhelming that the article is failed; this takes away time from reviewers. While the Billie Jean article is of reasonable quality, it is not yet of featured quality, and principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, as required in the featured article candidate instructions.

It is good that you took the initiative to fix up this article. Just a few moments ago, I further fixed it up by adding more to it...and tweaked a few of your additions.

Anyway, thank you for your help around here with soap opera articles. We definitely need you taking this kind of initiative with other soap opera articles around here.

Hey Candy, I'm the one who redirected (not deleted) the articles about members of the Logan family to the article that focuses on that family. Since I saw that you were asking around about it, I thought I should come to you directly and explain why I did it. When Logan family was up for deletion, most of the keep "votes" suggested it was a good place to merge character articles that could not stand on their own. That's why I went through all the articles for the characters related to that family, looked them over and saw that not one of them contained anything with real world relevance (no Impact, Reception, Casting, Writing sections), then boldly redirected those articles to Logan family. I felt and still feel that the move was for the betterment of the soap opera articles in general. We soap opera editors already have a bad reputation here on Wikipedia, articles like the ones I redirected just compound that with their overly long plot summaries that are written in the past tense and with inuniverse perspective. All of the character's important storyline information (who their family is, who they marry, who they have children with, who their children are) is already mentioned in the Logan family, but the article has the benefit of not containing an overly long and detailed plot summary. To me, they were a perfect fit there and they can always be un-redirected when someone wants to expand the article. Rocksey (talk) 20:01, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Source question

{{helpme}} Can a tweet not be used as a source because of [[1]] even if the tweet is from the artist of which the article is about?

A tweet is not a reliable source because it is not verifiable - ie, down the line, there would be no way for a reader to check it, and indeed for them to prove who wrote it.  Chzz  ►  03:09, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Onetimevideo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Onetimevideo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — ξ^xplicit 05:36, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Can someone please explain to me why this image is being deleted when it is here under the same criteria of other music video images, and contributes greatly to the significance of the article. Candyo32 (talk) 15:14, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

The user that added the tag, Explicit, does not believe that the image contributes greatly to the significance of the article. I suggest discussing the matter at the user's talk page at User talk:Explicit to find out why he or she thinks the image does not add to the readers' understanding of the article One Time. Please let me know if there are any more questions. Thanks! --Mysdaao ^talk 15:39, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict)

You would be best off directing your question to Explicit, the user who tagged the image, politely asking them to explain the problem and making known your objections. You can leave a message on their talk page.

After a brief investigation, I would agree that the use of a single frame supporting the discussion of a music video seems to be an established practice (with acknowledgement of the issues raised at WP:OTHERSTUFF), and this is probably a valid fair use claim. AJCham 15:41, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Pop Songs

Don't you think Pop Songs should be included in charts? EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 01:14, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I have to agree with you. It may need to be given to an administrator to sort it out. I noticed the "Love Me" ordeal as well. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 01:18, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Like me mention it to an administrator? I've never had to do that before, so I'm not sure how to approach the situation. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 01:22, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

That would be a very good idea. I haven't been in this type of predicament, and since you haven't either, the request from someone who has probably would be best. You could possibly ask User:TenPoundHammer. He's helped me with a couple things in the past. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 01:25, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 01:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Why's that? EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 02:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Ugh. Well Taylor Swift discography uses the Pop Songs, however, before the Pop 100 closed, her singles charted there. And there is a footnote for the switch. But her singles have charted on the Pop Songs and they're on her discography/singles pages. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 02:32, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

"You Belong with Me" reached #2 on the Pop Songs, and it's on the song page. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 02:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Better than that, "Love Story" became the first country song to top the Pop Songs chart. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 02:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Exactly! Just people have certain opinions that not everyone can agree on. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 02:39, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I would like to know that myself. EnDaLeCoMpLeX (talk) 02:47, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Your bad faith

"I absolutely do, and I think I may have to result in administrator intervention. That editor overly-criticizes Justin Bieber-related articles. Not only with the Pop Songs charts, I've also had trouble keeping a perfectly decent "Love Me" article that I was working on, with this editor."

Administrator intervention is not sought after unless there is a serious issue. And no, disagreement is not normally a serious issue, unless an edit war is produced. As I previously explained to you, "Love Me" is not a notable song which is why I redirected it. And may I please direct your attention to this talk page where consensus has been gained on what record charts to use? It says: "These are component charts. They are based on airplay-only of a small subset of pop/R&B/dance-oriented stations. Not broad enough to be notable in a charts table."

I am insulted and disgusted by your shockingly-bad faith. You should assume that editors are trying to improve the project, not harm it. Chase wc⁹¹ 01:30, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

We used in discographies when it was still Top 40 Mainstream, so we should be able to use it now. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Many otters • One bat • One hammer)} 01:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
