AFDI am nominating them correctly, see WP:AFD for multiple related pages, it says you nominate the first one, and everyone there after is to be headed with the title from the first one to group them together. Ejfetters 21:01, 1 December 2007 (UTC) MetallicaThe first sentence should introduce the band, not glorify them by saying they are award winning. Mentioning the awards would be appropriate after the first sentence. Once i've finished re-writing the article i will mention their total Grammy wins. M3tal H3ad 08:18, 2 December 2007 (UTC) Citation neededI'm curious as to why your bot did the following change: [1] It doesn't affect how the article looks. --Rockfang (talk) 10:36, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

{{Reflist}} removalsI noticed some articles (Tyra Banks was an example) where you removed the {{reflist}} template with the edit summary "per WP:FN" - I was wondering why you were doing this. Thanks - Videmus Omnia Talk 18:02, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
To add to what's been said above, WP:FN is a style guideline and constitutes little justification to remove and replace the reflist template where it has been used. Wikipedia can always use editing and expansion, but removing a standard template for consistency's sake accomplishes very little. Alansohn (talk) 03:48, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Here (Adrian Belew album) - cover artCan you look at the history for me and answer a question?

Aces HighThanks for making the effort to bring the impending deletion to someone's attention, after discovering that the uploading user's page is blocked. If you run into this problem again, a better place to take it than the Songs Project, is likely the talk page for the band's article. But I did take care of it. Thanks again. -Freekee (talk) 22:28, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Is the inclusion of formal fair use rationale sufficient enough to remove the image tag? I think so.Steelbeard1 (talk) 12:52, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
Image UploadingThe whole idea behind preloading the template is that a lot of new users don't know what a fair rationale is or they write an 8 part rationale that doesn't include the source, resolution, or intended article. This then makes it an invalid rationale. BcB tags it, admin (probably) auto deletes it, and we lose a good image. If the summary is pre-loaded, at least the user gets the idea that they should probably enter something after the = sign, completing the rationale properly. As to the edit summary issue, that I don't know how to fix. Mbisanz (talk) 10:24, 30 December 2007 (UTC) High resolution non-free imagesHi there. I've just gone through a load of hi-resolution non-free images you tagged as being too high resolution, and replaced the deletion tags with {{fair use reduce}}. Could you use that tag in future? Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 17:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Could anyone possibly fix the rationale I used on Image:Polysics - Polysics or Die.jpg please? It seems the album name messed it up.--Rockfang (talk) 09:13, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
A couple of things
reply to your queryAsk Admin BigHaz. He took care of nom'ing all the Metallica songs that weren't singles for AfD. The concensus was redirect them all. If you look at all the Metallica albums... none of the non-singles exist anymore. Every song used to have its own article. Which was just superfluous overkill and useless. BigHaz can explain the history. 156.34.212.152 (talk) 03:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
High Voltage FURHi Rockfang, thanks for your message re: Image:Acdc_high_voltage_international_album.jpg. I'm guessing that your concern is that there is not a FUR for each use of this image, not that the one FUR provided is invalid. However, that's not immediately clear from your message. Is that accurate or do I assume incorrectly? I had avoided providing FURs for the song articles which use that image as I am not yet certain that this counts as fair use. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to investigate the current consensus on that. Anyhow, if you can clarify the "10c" problem, I would appreciate it. Thank you, GentlemanGhost (talk) 22:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Ralbot (talk) 09:18, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Tagged imagesSorry about the confusion of my posted then deleted entries. In reply to your comment on my talk page, the answer is both yes and no. I got in a rush after noticing that the first one was tagged incorrectly, for reference it was Image:801 image 04.jpg then the next several were tagged correctly, as the FUR was linked to an article that the image was not used in and the article that used the image was not mentioned in the FUR. I have simply been correcting those FUR's and then deleting your tag. My guess is that you may have done the exact opposite of me, tagging bunch that needed tagging and accidently tagging one that did not which is why I did not bother to repost as a single mistake can be easily understood, but a series of errors needs to be addressed to avoid it for happening in the future. I have also become upset because of Betacommand and his bot, which has unfortunately tanted my view of thoes tagging images with the incorrect tag.

Image:Billy Squier - Don't Say No.jpgAbout Image:Billy Squier - Don't Say No.jpg, could you please explain? I'm not too sure what you mean; after all, I do explain what it's used for, and the origin. If the matter is, however, the templating (as in a {{ }} template) (or lack thereof) and such, when I uploaded the album art for Billy Squier's Don't Say No, there wasn't that auto-templating thing, so I typed out the fair-use rationale. So again, would you mind being a bit more specific and/or explain? Ta. Qwerty (talk) 09:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Invalid fair use rationalesPlease don't leave me messages about invalid fair use rationales in images I uploaded. I have them all in my watchlist. I can't fix them now because I'm very busy but I'll do it when I have some spare time. Thanks in advance, Jogers (talk) 09:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC) Hi! I imagine you're swamped by questions like this, sorry. I've already added a "non-free album cover" tag, and a rationale. I'm not sure if that's enough, you last message seems to imply that it also needs a "non-free fair use in" tag (though the article where it's used is already mentioned there). Is it? Secondly, you say the source must be mentioned. I'm not sure how to go about that, I've had the file for a long time from a website I don't remember. The file appears several times in Google's image search, but I doubt any of those sites will still be there in a couple of months. I have no idea how to determine the copyright holder (it may be the band, the cover artist, or some label), especially since the image is the cover of an old, very limited edition demo. There's even less of a change to find who originally scanned it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bogdanb (talk • contribs) 21:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Clock Tower imageI added the obvious source that the developers of Clock Tower, human entertainment, created it. Is obvious information that is based on basic common sense sufficient?

Re:clarificationIt was orphaned because you orphaned it. Generally, it's a little more polite if you leave a message on the article's talk page notifying the regular editors that an image being used on the article has an improper rationale. Even bots do it nowadays. Naturally, you could have just changed the target of the fair use rationale to the article it was actually present in, rather than tagging it, since the everything was fine except that.

Removed prod from Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth, it had a prod removed on it once beforeI have removed the {{prod}} tag from Flintlocke's Guide to Azeroth, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Atamachat 00:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC) Christina MilianI noticed that you removed the audio of the song "Dip it Low".

Stifle (talk) 10:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Fair use rationale for Image:Cry-of_karawan.jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Cry-of_karawan.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.

Recently you tagged some audio samples I uploaded (Image:Rammstein - Bestrafe mich (sample).ogg, Image:Rammstein - Ohne dich (sample).ogg, Image:Rammstein - Zwitter (sample).ogg) with {{no rationale}}. It is fortunate that I am still around to defend and update my edits. When an editor is no longer around to maintain his work, does that mean it should all be deleted because no one else could be bothered to update it for consistency with current policy? These files do, in fact, have rationales, despite the fact that they are not tagged with {{Non-free use rationale}}. I urge you to use more discretion when tagging media for deletion. Rather than robotically applying the destructive {{no rationale}} tag it would be better if you inserted {{Non-free use rationale}} and moved the existing information into the proper fields. This does take more time, and in some cases you may have to add {{no rationale}} anyways, but you would avoid undoing others' work. ~MDD4696 17:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
regarding this changeIndeed there is a rationale there. According to wikipedia policy Wikipedia:NFCC#10c (which I mentioned in the article and in my edit summary) there needs to be a separate detailed rationale for each use. There is no rationale on the image's page that corresponds to Bahram Bayzai. The only rationale there deals with Bashu, the Little Stranger.--Rockfang (talk) 19:40, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

"Upmerging" is done by creating a template but using a higher-level category for it to feed into. For example, currently {{Blekinge-geo-stub}} on an article deposits it into Category:Sweden geography stubs, because there aren't yet enough articles on Blekinge County geography for it to merit its own category.

I've been thinking about a bot project to compliment {{Oldprodfull}} ... a scan of Category:Proposed deletion-endorsed, and add the empty boilerplate tag to the Talk page of the corresponding article ... filling in the fields by scanning the article's edit history seems counter-productive, but it's easy enough to manually scan and update such a small collection once a week ... and if the article gets deleted, then there's nothing to clean up! The real question is, "What can be done to detect and flag contested PRODs?" ... my only thought is keeping daily lists for comparison ... if an article is no longer on the list of open PRODs, is it because it has been deleted, or because the PROD was removed by Some Other Editor? It's not an insurmountable programming challenge, just one that I don't think is worth the development effort ... besides, it's a perfect outlet for us WikiGnomes. :-) Happy Editing! — 151.200.237.53 (talk · contribs) 19:26, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Derivative workHi Rockfang - I'm not sure where you're seeing a contradiction? The image itself (ie, the scan) has source and licencing data (self-made by the uploader, licenced under the GFDL), but lacks source and licence data for the image that it contains (ie, the back of an action figure packaging - not specific enough to be adequate as a source).

Pokémon BoxLike I stated, establish notability. There are almost no references, there are exactly no references establishing notability, there isn't even an inclination in the entire article of the software's notability, so why do we need to have the article? There's a general failure here, throughout the article's four years of life and hundreds of edits to establish this, with most editors choosing to instead make a guide to how it works. And do not just remove tags at your whimsy. The noreferences tag was more than acceptable considering that there was only one single reference in the article, and that was just about release information, not about anything significant. And absolutely do not remove inappropriate tone, just because you think it's fine doesn't change that someone disagrees, and at what point is the article saying that a lack of a feature is unfortunate appropriate tone? - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

BJBot (talk) 05:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC) The proposal for deletion "box"...had a place in the box, where it said, that if you disagreed with the box, you could remove it. I both disagreed with the box, since I had stated that I was in the process of creating the article. Also, since then I have added the content that was advised: ISBN, at least one review, correct spelling of author's name. The person who put the notice there, has not engaged in a discussion of how the book is notable or not notable. Neither have you. If you want to do so, I welcome a content-filled discussion. Dropping in these textboxes on the top of the talk page is malicious. Just start a section in talk and we can debate the issues.

Ok, no malicion! On the content: ;-) 1. I don't think the "old prod" is helpful as the whole concept of prod is that the box can be removed quickly (and hence people drop it very readily). If there is a serious reason for removal the person can take it to afd. Unsing the old prod box is like a scarlet letter and basically obviates the whole point of taking the prod away. 2. If anyone has a serious reason for deleting the article, they can engage in some actual discussion. I have a thread for that which even references a bunch of content on notability requirements. No one has commented on that thread (or in talk page at all in terms of substance). 3. Really, the prod was done while the article was actually in creation...also the whole situation is obe now, since the requested content is now in there. It's even rated as a start class article, now, so I took my own stub tag off. 4. So an "old prod" is a nuisance. Should a 5 day test last forever? I completely support "old afd's though. 5. And history still remains of who the prodder was. (Which is rather irrelevant as a 3 word phrase was the amount of content given for the prod, as an actual afd would have more meat on the bone.) 6. BTW, I went and read the Prod policy. It says that you use oldprod template for cases where you AGREE with the deletion. It's not just something to keep a scarlet letter there...the policy says that you should actually have an opinion on the article itself (which from your text above, you don't. 7. So anyhow, nice to meet you. I guess I learned some wiki policies and such. And how to argue about, them, lol. Now, I'm going to get back to putting more meat on the bone. :-) TCO (talk) 22:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

When an sfd calls for a deletion of a stub type, depopulating a category calls for removal of the (to be deleted) stub type and simultaneous replacement with whatever the most appropriate stub is (in this case, for most articles, {{fict-char-stub}}). Bots are not used for this work unless every article in the old category will go into the same new category (and if there's only 20 or so stubs in there, it ends up creating more work than manual resorting does). Most importantly - stubs are never returned to the base Category:Stub. That simply makes more work for stub-sorters. Grutness...wha? 01:07, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Only the three issues from November are below.

Ralbot (talk) 10:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC) BlockbusterAh yes - as there was no image size set I didn't set one either and it didn't look problematic at that size. Good catch though (and thanks for the revert - all the boxes will be updated so it would be a shame to have someone keep updating it only to be reverted) but it might be a sign we need the scan at a larger size as the small image looks a little odd. Just a thought. (Emperor (talk) 02:38, 26 November 2008 (UTC)) Template:Voice actorI placed a request in the orphaned templates section of tfd to have it taken care of by a bot, because there were so many it would have taken me hours to remove them all.

AMGThanks for the notification, I am indeed paying attention to the edits I am making, but perhaps I misunderstand - how does what it was named affect the article? He founded Allmusic under the name of All Music Guide, surely. — neuro(talk) 19:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

BJBot (talk) 05:22, 17 December 2008 (UTC) Abraham WoodruffI can see why you would disagree with this edit, however, unless I am mistaken, lack of source information is not a reason to delete the image if it is properly licensed (or properly identified as being in the public domain). I have emailed the uploader since he is no longer on the wiki, but have yet to hear a response from him. I will continue to pursue source information but I'd appreciate it if you'd remove the tag that will delete the image in 7 days if the defect is not cured. I have no problem with identifying it as lacking source information but it is properly licensed. --Trödel 21:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (File:Dan Marino bronze statue2.jpg)

Our Class ProjectA group of people and I have been assigned to edit the page on Cheiracanthium Inclusum for a University Assignement. Our professor wants a notice posted on the ARTICLE PAGE (not the discussion page) and I noticed your username has moved the notice twice to the discussion page. Can you please leave the notice on the first page as the format is part of our grade. Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bealelor356 (talk • contribs) 04:38, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
I am the Professor coordinating the project you commented on. The Educational Assignment notice should be on the Discussion Page as per the instructions I received from a Wiki editor. Please don't confuse my students -- this project will be completed in a couple of weeks and the notice will be removed. These are a work in progress and the purpose of the notice is to help people resist the temptation to "help".

I was dealing with four or five inquiries/complaints on my talk page at the time, and then yours came up and it was just one more thing for me to respond to. I do appreciate you keeping an eye on things like that, and I'm not upset that you let me know. Thanks, Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:43, 5 February 2009 (UTC) AfD nomination of List of video games with time travel I have nominated List of video games with time travel, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of video games with time travel. 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. -Zeus- [t|c] 17:22, 7 February 2009 (UTC) Hello there. From what I can tell, this edit was a mistaken one from your bot, as, checking through the page's previous history, I found no {{prod}} templates. I have removed the template for now, but would appreciate your feedback on the matter. It Is Me Here t / c 08:06, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

A couple notes Re: UCFD working pageGood work at the UCFD working page. Just so you know though, the job queue is currently broken. Has been for over 2 months, not sure when it will be fixed but I do know they are aware it is broken. Hence, "auto-emptying" won't be happening until that is fixed. Also, If you double check to make sure all pages are removed from a category, I see no reason to leave it in the "already deleted but not empty" section of the page. That is more for ones that have been deleted without removing any members. If no more work needs to be done involving the category, and we are just waiting for auto-empty, I don't think we need to keep those listed in that section. Finally, if you are looking for something to do, there is a whole slew of populated previously deleted user categories listed at Wikipedia:Database reports/Deleted red-linked categories, many of which could be legitimately added to the "already deleted but not empty" section if the category was deleted due to a XfD decision. One could simply skip to the chase and directly remove it from the page without bothering listing it on the working page as well, although users who have re-added deleted categories after having already been removed from their page once should probably not be re-removed unless you want to stir up drama. Thanks, VegaDark (talk) 06:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
Copyright violationI noticed that you've done follow up on suspected copyright violations. I'd like to call your attention to the photo "File:Moran mor Baselios Kleemis.jpg" (shown) and the track record of the uploader User:Simon Cheakkanal. You might also check out other photos this user has uploaded. Their image size and resolution indicate to me that they have been lifted off the web. I acknowledge I'm not assuming good faith, but I think someone savvy in such things should take at least take a look. Thanks for all your work for Wikipedia. -- --Boston (talk) 08:59, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
Request for an opinionIf its appropriate to request this and you have time, would you please check out comments made at Talk:Python_reticulatus#Debate_regarding_length_claims_made_by_various_zoos and Talk:Python_reticulatus#Verifiability. It is my position that I've endured days of personal attacks and incivility from User:Mokele and User:Jwinius.
I've lost count of how many times I've encouraged courtesy in these users. Perhaps encouragement of good behavior coming from someone other than myself and User:Cygnis insignis might have effect. User:Cygnis insignis's comments on our discussion begin as follows “I've waded through the incivility, bold assumptions, uncited assertions, expletives and other obstruction to this good faith contribution. However this is not the place for identifying this obnoxious pattern of behavior...” (see hidden comments at [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Python_reticulatus&action=edit§ion=17) Ultimately, this dispute is about a claim made by User:Mokele and User:Jwinius to allow certain content at Python_reticulatus#Captivity that they deem unencyclopedic. Thanks for considering my comments. -- --Boston (talk) 20:03, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for reading my comments. I guess I'll have to pursue outside resolution as I'm not engaging in any more conversation with editors who are swearing and name calling. --Boston (talk) 20:43, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
I for one object to this unilaterality on Boston's part. Put up a page where we can all participate in resolving this, rather than just letting him run crying to the staff because we dare disagree with him and dare to get annoyed by his juvenile antics. Mokele (talk) 20:51, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
