Orphaned fair use image (Image:Daily show's laguna beach.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Daily show's laguna beach.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Janet Jackson & Justin Timberlake's wardrobe malfunction.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Janet Jackson & Justin Timberlake's wardrobe malfunction.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 01:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Span tag?
You recently added another image to the Superbowl halftime article, and you put it within a Span tag. I'm curious if you know what the purpose of such a span html tag would be? I have never seen one used on wikipedia, and have been wondering why the original image was in a span tag. Did you just do it because the other image had one or is there a purpose I'm not aware of? Thanks :) TheHYPO 22:18, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, I know in HTML what they do, but I see no use for titling the span as a description of the image in that particular article with no class form. I'm going to get rid of the spans, since they do nothing in this case. Thanks TheHYPO 00:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:Janet_Jackson_&_Justin_Timberlake's_wardrobe_malfunction.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Janet_Jackson_&_Justin_Timberlake's_wardrobe_malfunction.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 insure 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. Rettetast 19:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
International broadcasters for 24 (TV series)
Thanks for your help prodding International broadcasters for 24 (TV series). I've changed this prod to an AfD — this affects a lot of articles, and could use more discussion. The AfD should give us a good precedent against edits like this one.
As you are someone who has edited this article in the past, your vote would be especially welcome. / edg ☺ ★ 00:49, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Family Guy invitation
Thanks for all your help in Family Guy-related articles, especially Criticism of Family Guy. Would you be interested in participating in WikiProject Family Guy? It is just getting started, and is still at a low level of activity, but we're hoping to reach critical mass soon.
I just today started a discussion thread on WP:FG about the possibility of starting a Family Guy reference desk. Anyone who feels we should be answering general Questions about Family Guy is encouraged to participate in this discussion. / edg ☺ ★ 22:35, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
typo
In this diff I meant to say "WP:NSR", which the UNDUE link was, not "WP:OR". Sorry for any confusion --lucid 03:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Foxy Brown
You're saying "the article is a mess" but the article looks alright. What exactly do you think needs to be done? The Gnome 04:30, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- I tagged cleanup for the page because I felt that some of the sections regarding her legal troubles and such were not structured in a manner to appear encyclopedic. Also, I believe some of the grammar and stuff are not standard English. Sorry if my actions were a bit unjustified, I'll be cleaning up the page later this week. Thanks. --Andrewlp1991 04:37, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. As it happens, I've been through this entry a number of times (mostly to clean up vanadalism by fans and foes, but also to add substance). I must say I find the section of "Legal Run-ins" clear and concise. Also, quite "encyclopaedic". The Gnome 04:48, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Congratulations on cleaning up the page. I think the contents are much clearer now. The "Clean-up need" tag could be removed now, I think. The Gnome 07:02, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Fat Joe
I'd really like to thank you for coming in and making something out of that Fat Joe article, I'm the one that had added the information about the albums and things. You know, when I first read the article, I distinctly remembered him having a bio page, but in my later checkings, I saw that a 50 Cent freak had deleted all of that and all was left was his beef with G-Unit. I wanted to improve the article, but didn't know anythig about the pre-2001 Fat Joe so what I did was check his album pages for his first three albums and then just typed in what I knew for the rest of it. I think it was pretty good, but I am glad now we have someone else adding to the article. If you want maybe we can work together on the article one day. But you know people will tear it apart, because when I had first added all of this information, I included the Terror Squad albums as well, because he is on almost every one of their songs and someone, that didn't add anything to the article or anything came behind me and deleted all of that information, don't you just hate that. My type of personality has always been like that and I have gotten into physical fights over people taking away from my creations. I'm just glad that in your change, you just changed you added references and sources, extra information, made it relevant and made it many pages longer. But I hate that people, who probably don't know anything about Fat Joe and Terror Squad besides Lean Back and Make It Rain will come through and delete your work, but won't add anything didn't expand the article at all just take out what they didn't want, but I'm glad that you did what you did.

Hi, your name kept appearing on my watchlist for Dr. Dre. You're doing a good job cleaning up this article. It's good to see this biography getting up to scratch. Keep it up! Spellcast (talk) 07:30, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. The big problem with a lot of rap/hip-hop related wikipedia articles is that a lot of the people who edit them are either (1) vandals (this explains why so many of such articles are semi-protected!!!) or (2) don't cite sources. I think a lot of vandalism for the Dre article didn't get reverted, so I've had not only to add reliable sources, but also to remove libelous content...I was heartbroken to see when I was googling some of the things that popped up that were libel getting spread all throughout wikipedia mirror sites.
Anyways, thanks for your compliment, and I'll join WikiProject Hip Hop or whatever that is to participate to make such articles written better. --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 23:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Image:Ptc logo.JPG
I have tagged Image:Ptc logo.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. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. --Geniac (talk) 18:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
