Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:WideOpenSpacesSongSheetMusic.jpgThank you for uploading Image:WideOpenSpacesSongSheetMusic.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image 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 image 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 images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

Colonel Warden (talk) 19:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC) Thanks very muchThanks to you for letting me know and to those who found out.

EdJohnston (talk) 03:07, 18 January 2009 (UTC) Missing in ActionThe Missing in Action revert-war has flared up again, I fear. ToTheCircus has "corrected" the article so it's now got the same-old heavy emphasis on Vietnam issues i.e. as if the problem of MIAs suddenly cropped up in the 1960s, and had never existed before that decade. It's a pity that the page can't be protected from such perverse and inaccurate editing. Nabokov (talk) 21:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC) Caroline, no (well, maybe)Yeah, I know about the Post story - but Olbermann just reported moments ago that a source in the Kennedy family says she did not withdraw her name, but there was a miscommunication with Paterson's office.

Just a leg up, I guessI've noticed that you left these little "warnings" 1 2 3 4, which I can only assume that you can do within the confines of Wikipedia, however, this does "classify" as cyberbully-ing and that person (or persons) can bring up a civil case against you (or depending on what country you live in, a criminal charge). Its no different (as it was explained to me) that if your house were to get robbed and this person was caught and you then took that person's mug shot and hung it up around your neighborhood and said "Hey, this person rob my house, be sure to look out for him because he could rob your house." That person's family can sue you. If you want to place it there, you could reword it. Again, I don't know where you live as the cyberlaws vary state to state and country to country but just wanted to give you a leg up, as this has happened to me before (not Wikipedia related but another online site).

McCain GA reviewNot to worry; this isn't unusual for one of my GA reviews. Not everything I'm identifying is actually a defect; I just think there's some room for improvement in a lot of them. I've considered fixing issues myself in the past, but I'm concerned that if I did so I'd no longer be an impassive reviewer but a major contributor to the article. Additionally, while we all know nobody owns Wikipedia articles, I'd rather give the people who have gotten them this far the chance to evaluate my suggestions, instead of just imposing them and daring a revert (a lot of the time, once I've identified the issue the original author comes up with a better fix than I had anyway). Sorry I've been so slow with this - I'm a little busy in real life, and I'm also on the receiving end of another pretty thorough review. I really should be done by the end of the day.

HRC picIt looks to me like MOS:IMAGE says that it may be appropriate to force the size of lead pics - that is, infobox pics - to no more than 300 pixels. Since the original is kind of small, maybe we are better off with 220 or 250 pixels than the original? Am I missing something here? Tvoz/talk 08:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Conspiracy Of HopeThanks for flagging me on this. I concur with you 100%. The word "tour" in the article title is not appropriate. The fact that there was a huge Live Aid style finale carried live for 11 hours on MTV - plus the multiple press conferences highlighting the cause - made this much much more than a regular rock music "tour".

I'm working on trying to give better balance to all the aspects of her ladyship. I created a new subsection meant to cover state dinners and other dealings like that (I'll expand on it in the next few days). I was wondering if you could look it over, though, and make changes where you see fit. I'm not sure if it flows well. Also.... any photo suggestions?

Evan Bayh presidential campaign, 2008 not-quoteYou intervened regarding Tom Vilsack so I'd like to ask you about this one without encountering personal attacks again. The original quote from http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/28/sr.fri/ is "When the history of our time is written, I believe it will judge as one of this president's greatest failings that he sought our highest office pledging to be a uniter not a divider, but instead divided America more profoundly then anytime since the Vietnam war." Evan Bayh presidential campaign, 2008, however, says "At the event he criticized President Bush for 'dividing' the nation..." Not only are the quotation marks around a single word, potentially causing misinterpretation, the word "dividing" is not even in the original quote. I removed them saying that it is not a quote and that it would be best rephrased, but William S. Saturn claimed it was a derivate of the word. I believe that is clearly a paraphrase using a different form of the word and cannot be used in quotation marks. Your thoughts?

Looking back on Martie MaguireHi, long time. I didn't approach Martie Maguire or any of the Dixie Chicks because once I'd begun as a grammatical editor only, using an IP address, and finally registered, after making a foolish attempt on an article on the Hot Band without knowing anything at all, I began to tackle Martie's page- the first project I tried. I already have a couple projects I've been working on, but was wondering-- another female editor (do you maybe know who she is?) -asked if I was still interested in doing her page, but I declined. I think that with help from you, Martie's page could maybe make GA status. But are you interested? And, if not, can I come to you for pointers? Mostly, I've just been bouncing from one page to another, making infoboxes, securing photos, and copyediting for grammar the best I can, between work on Cat Stevens and Derek Trucks. I'd also like to learn to really make album pages if you can point the way, maybe someone to help with advice on that? --leahtwosaints (talk) 15:45, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article.

Only when you blow it up can you see her, and then only from behind, which makes it pretty useless to my mind. I've made my point on the article's talk page, so please leave your views there too.

I know that mostly everybody including yourself has a slight bias, but I think you're about as close as we can get. Let us know what you think. --William S. Saturn (talk) 01:04, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Sotomayor Berkley SpeechHey, I notice that you have done a lot of work for the Sotomayor article. Thanks, you've done a good job : ) I also noticed you reverted my edit on the Sotomayor article, though I can't say that I agree that the fact that it didn't gain much attention at the time is a good reason to remove a piece of information that is otherwise apropos. The quote is a piece of information that is directly related to the speech being discussed. If a well known person makes a speech a line from which later becomes famous, you don't simply fail to mention that when discussing the speech just because it wasn't famous at the time.. Do you have another reason for reverting the edit, that perhaps I'm misunderstanding? Andy (talk) 16:38, 14 July 2009 (UTC)
DYK for Racing in the StreetBencherliteTalk 16:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC) "Far right"I just wanted to follow up about Talk:Clarence Thomas, because I got the sense that I wasn't doing a good job communicating. I don't feel strongly that the article needs to describe Clarence Thomas as "far right"; I agree with you that (especially given the plethora of high-quality sources) we shouldn't cite Flagpole magazine; and I agree with your overall perspective on the lack of utility of pigeonholing people. My point was a more general one. The article doesn't reflect what reliable sources actually say about Clarence Thomas. If you compare it to any respectable biography of the man, it's way out of step. In the end, I don't really care if it describes Clarence Thomas as "far right". I do care that the article is worthy of a serious, respectable reference work, and it's way short. Personally, I'd attribute that to certain editorial tendencies which have dominated the article, with the "far right" thing being the crystallization of the problem, but I'm not married to that wording. Anyhow, I guess I'm saying this because you seem like a thoughtful editor without an axe to grind - a species distinctly in need at the article - and I'd like you to stay and work on it, even if you disagree with me on some specific content issues.

I know you're a busy guy, but I'd really value your input in it. I'm just about ready to nominate it for FA, and I think a run-over by a person with fresh eyes for the material would really help.

DYK for Good Shepherd (song)BorgQueen (talk) 18:07, 27 July 2009 (UTC) AfD nomination of Brandon Rogers (singer) and othersAn editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated articles are Brandon Rogers (singer), Julia DeMato. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to the relevant discussion pages: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brandon Rogers (singer) (2nd nomination) for Brandon Rogers (singer), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julia DeMato (2nd nomination) for Julia DeMato. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:37, 29 July 2009 (UTC) File source problem with File:JayWeinbergApr2009.jpgThanks for uploading File:JayWeinbergApr2009.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.
Articles for Deletion - Julia DeMatoThanks for what you said made in [1]. You were right to call me out on a point where I went too far, and which had the effect of undermining the other arguments. That text has now been deleted. JD Fan (talk) 18:34, 31 July 2009 (UTC) |
