Hello!!! Thanks for your related edits to Russian cinema. A much needed area of improvement and expansion on wikipedia. I am currently attempting to draw up a detailed List of Soviet films which needs a lot of work. Could you help develop it? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ Talk? 19:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Andrei Rublev - is it time?

edit

I noticed that you've done some excellent work on the article and I wanted to ask if you might be interested in bringing it to FAC? If not, are there any additional forms of help or resources that WP:FILMS could provide? Many thanks and keep up the good work! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 00:03, 17 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

Solaris (1972 film)

edit

Solaris (1972 film) is currently on hold. You can see my comments here. Cheers, Kakofonous (talk) 18:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I noticed that the film article achieved Good Article status -- congratulations! Are you planning to continue expanding article to achieve Featured Article status? If you are, can I suggest looking into academic studies for the film? A good place to start is Google Scholar, which has these. I could help you uncover some of these resources if you're interested.

If you have the time can you propose a scaled down version of the Jin Jing article. In its current state with selective quoting from reputable news sources spins a one sided article.

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:Psikhelekedana.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Psikhelekedana.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.

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.

Fair use rationale for File:File:Iwona Petry in Szamanka.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:File:Iwona Petry in Szamanka.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Replaceable fair use File:Natalya bondarchuk.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Natalya bondarchuk.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:59, 19 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

File:Eduard David 1907.jpg needs authorship information

edit
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Eduard David 1907.jpg appears to be missing information as to one (or more) of the following :

  1. The author or creators of the work, (including information as to the author's lifespan).
  2. Where and how this particular version was obtained.
  3. When the work was created,

If you did provide such information, it is currently confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided), authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

  • If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: {{subst:usernameexpand|Dassiebtekreuz}} will produce an appropriate expansion,
    or use the {{own}} template.

Please also add authorship and sourcing to other files you created or uplopaded. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
