Image:Dule Hill.jpg

Below, part of discussion between user User:Quentin X and User:Anubis3 concerning this image.

Secondly, the fact that photos have been used for a long time does not make it right to use them. Jimbo Wales has gone on record as saying that Wikipedia should be as free as possible and that this has not necessarily been the case in the past. Also, this is not a 'single person's' view. Just because you have not come across it in the six months that you have been a registered user under this name does not mean that this process has not been ongoing. I tried, albeit forlornly, to keep an image that I had used for a good three months until I accepted the argument that had been used which is basically, "Can this image be replaced by a different one, while still having the same effect?" If the answer is yes, then the image probably doesn't meet the criteria above and should not be used.". As far as this image is concerned, it can.

RfC on image:Dule_Hill.jpg

I have added an RfC page for this issue HERE. Thank you for your comments. Anubis3 17:18, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Er... now we have no photo

I see we have 'resolved' the problem of the possibility of Dulé Hill's photo not under fair use guidelines... but now we have no photo. MrMacMan 09:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Restoring Old Image

I’d hate to open an old wound concerning Image:Dule_Hill.jpg but since User:Quentin X has stated on his user page I was finally persuaded about the legitimacy, or otherwise, of a lot of images on Wikipedia that are thought to be free use but are actually not. I have nothing against images, just believe that Wikipedia should be as free as possible and copyrighted images from other sources are not free enough and since the issue was never really resolved, it is perhaps finally appropriate to restore Image:Dule_Hill.jpg to this article. The exception, however, would be if anyone still had an objection to this. The original fair use rationale that was given for this image was This image contributes significantly to the article and was released by NBC to be widely distributed in order to promote the television show The West Wing. If anyone still has objections please let me know. aNubiSIII ^{(T / C)} 04:56, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I was never a part of the great debate that happened but I've always wanted to see an image here. I changed the formatting. The Image was pushed too far down the page because of the right justified actor box so I changed sides... the picture is still too big for the article, on my screen it stretches down into the reference area but thats the only way I can actually see him in his role... so I'm not sure how I'm suppose to have worked that. Anyway hope the changes are useful. MrMacMan ^Talk 05:30, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry but as far as I'm concerned the decision of the mediation was that the image could not be used in the article in the way that it is being used at the moment. I am also not one for opening old wounds but I do not think that is was appropriate to reinstate the image nor do I think it appropriate to not involve either myself or the mediator in the decision to reinstate it. Anubis3 did not agree to the closing of the mediation but that is not a reason to put the picture back in. I am, therefore, removing it again. (Quentin X 23:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC))

[back-and-forth regarding edit war, complete with personal attacks, removed by User:Quadell.]

Look, guys, chill. I've taken this to Wikipedia:Fair use review. There are lots of image-use gurus there who have dealt with many cases just like this one. You're all welcome and invited to comment there, but please keep your arguments short and refrain from personal attacks. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 02:02, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

here is a question

How does anyone confuse Dule Hill for Phil Lewis? I just don't get that connection. =^-^=; —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonmaster88 (talk • contribs) 06:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Appearance on WWE RAW

For the past week or so ive been trying to understand why people think a guest host role on WWE RAW (a PR move to promote their show Psych coming back on air) is worth an encyclopedic mention, if you want to provide a reason why it should be included then we can at least talk about it as i dont see why a guest host role would warrant inclusion. MrMacMan ^Talk 08:29, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

If you are questioning it, then obviously there are people who agree that a guest host role would warrant inclusion. Editors include information hence being bold. Since you are the only one who disagreed, perhaps you should have just let it be included until more users can assess it. That's the way Wikipedia works. It works by a collaborative group of editors, not one person owning an article. Girafe53 (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

You seem to have my intentions confused. I'm here on this talk page to figure out why it warrants inclusion, since i believe it to be not of encyclopedic information. Guest hosts on WWE Raw are fairly commonplace. I dont want it to seem like i have some vendetta (pun not intended), these editors have good intentions, im sure they enjoy the WWE Raw program very much, but without sourcing or explanation why this information should be here i feel it necessary to, at the very least, ask this question on the talk page where i do reply right now. Why is this a notable appearance? MrMacMan ^Talk 02:17, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

That's one of the flaws of Wikipedia to allow volunteers to maintain this project. Not everyone will have the time on this project to respond. You will be here for a long time to figure out why it warrants inclusion as there is a good chance that no one will respond. Its best to just leave it as it is until a group of people voice disagreements. Girafe53 (talk) 21:17, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I've sourced the guest hosting role. MrMacMan ^Talk 23:28, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

I need to edit this page

I am putting this here because I have content to write, but can't until October!!?

If you have a specific and productive edit to request, I'd be happy to apply it, but I can't do anything without more specifics. The semi-protection seems quite justified. Ucucha 11:47, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry didn't mean to edit it to re-request.

Cosby character

The character he played in Cosby may have been Marcus not Martin. Can anyone confirm either way? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0384211/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarkekent (talk • contribs) 18:37, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

That seems to be confirmed by the bio link on the page as well - will make the change. Kuru (talk) 21:34, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

Dule states on the Psych DVD commentary that he was not on Cosby, Season 1 Episode 15, Scary Sherry, in the commentary). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.242.200.134 (talk) 13:53, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Protection

One recent joke edit does not qualify as "persistent" vandalism. The edit with "cum" was Latin, not what a teenager might think. --Nricardo (talk) 17:02, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

The recent joke edit is not recent; you're welcome to review the article's history. I'm well versed in Latin, and that had no part of my decision to protect the page. Kuru (talk) 14:22, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Notable occupations in the lead

I'm confused as to why tap dancer is in the lead. Sure he's done some tap dancing in the past, but I think he's more known for being an actor though. I'm requesting tap dancer to be removed from the lead if possible. 2001:569:78BA:4A00:199A:B2BB:E10D:CEB1 (talk) 21:06, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

have removed it per MOS:LEADSENTENCE, as only notable occupations should be included FMSky (talk) 05:47, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
