Replaceable fair use File:Double_Indemnity_Cast.jpg

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

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

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 03:05, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair use of images

BTW, I see you haven't added a detailed fair use rationale for the screencaps you've uploaded. There needs to be a rationale specific to each article the image is used in. I believe there is a bot that checks the images for this, notifies the uploader, and eventually deletes the image if a valid rationale isn't provided. Just FYI...

Writer credits in the film infobox

Hey there! :-) The discussion on the writer credits in the film infobox has really picked up in the last few days (basically all comments starting from July 30th), and we're now getting closer to a consensus. Currently, we are trying to determine if there are any objections to adding the fields "Screenplay by" and "Story by". The discussion is still located here. If you have read up on the suggestions and have any objections to these two fields, please post here. If some time goes by without objections, we will take these additions for granted and move on to the next solution. Thank you in advance! Prime Blue (talk) 16:28, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Dohhh22! We've had some updates on the talk page and it seems we are currently heading towards giving the original work title and the author in "easy" cases, and not to use that field for problematic cases like films based on multiple works (remakes, etc.). I just wanted to ask if this would be okay with you. Prime Blue (talk) 20:49, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Double Indemnity Project Part 5

We're due for a new section. If you feel like your page is all cluttered up, I think it'd be fine to dump the old DI Project sections, rather than archive 'em. I always put a link in the title for easy, direct, hopping to the article. Whadda guy, eh?

I tried to find a Wilder photo at the Lib of Congress, where the photos are public domain, but no luck. I was also hoping to find a shot from the premiere of DI, but absolutely nothin'. I prefer the younger Wilder shots, in a sweater w/o glasses, to the older ones; they not only look more like 1944, they look more like studio publicity shots. A Wilder photo down at the end will really finish it off nicely, but should probably be the last one we argue fair-use for; too many and we're asking for trouble. I wish the screencaps were about 33% larger, but I don't want to get back into that bee's nest.

You really moved fast on those footenotes! I'm impressed. I really like the way this is shaping up. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 05:56, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Howdy. I went through the whole piece and made a few adds and a few cleans... but I think we're just a Wilder photo away from Miller Time. (Hope you're not too young to get that reference.) — HarringtonSmith (talk) 03:15, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Always looking for work for you to do. I think we could use a cite here after the list of actors who declined the Neff role. Also maybe here too, after the quoted phrase "useless camera instruction." These just strike me as spots where someone'll slug in a tag. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 04:30, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

My last tough subject to bring up: I usually see footnotes done with the full listing — with city and publisher and ISBN — in the first mention, then "Surname, p. xxx," in subsequent cites. When one author has more than one entry (we have one like this, Phillips), entries after the first mention would be: "Phillips, Creatures, p. 112" or "Phillips, Some Like, p. 153." The good news: I can do the clerical work on this, and would be delighted to do so if you give me the word. (I hope doing it the other way didn't cost you too much time.) Let me know and I'll do the legwork. If you prefer it the way it is now, that's fine, too. Just let me know. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 05:45, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

You mad at me about the footnotes? — HarringtonSmith (talk) 00:37, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, was computerless over the weekend (roughing it in the woods). Whatever looks good or is the standard on the footnotes is ok with me. If you want to knock that out, no problem. I will work on those other cites.Dohhh22 (talk) 19:18, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Great! I'll do it. How does the thing look to you after a weekend in the WILDERness? — HarringtonSmith (talk) 19:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Wow. You have been busy! It looks great. Like you said, I think it is ready for prime time. That last photo would cap it off.Dohhh22 (talk) 22:32, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

I didn't want to jump in because I don't know if you are editing right now and don't want to mess you up, but De Sylva was Paramount's artistic director at the time when the Rozsa/Lipstone incident occured and just happened to be producing Double Indemnity as well.Dohhh22 (talk) 01:50, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I was working off his wikipedia entry which had him as exec producer at Paramount in 1944, but I'll take your source any day! Fix it if you haven't already. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:37, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Switched it back to Artistic Director — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:46, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Have a look here — HarringtonSmith (talk) 04:56, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

I like it! I think it really adds the right punch to the end. I will see if I can get my hands on those last two books today and finish off the citations. This article really does look great. Thanks for all the help!Dohhh22 (talk) 14:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Well, you knew it was coming. I don't know where you found the picture, but looks like we will have to justify it.Dohhh22 (talk) 01:15, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't the source of the photo or the use rationale the guy objected to — he didn't think there was enough "critical discussion" of it in the text. (The file is still up, he just removed it from the article.) If you check his contribs, you'll see that he just sits there and bounces photos, scores of 'em, one after another, never making a positive contribution, just being a bully. The text is nothing but Wilder, and that photo enhanced the readability of the page. Which is what really makes me sick about this place: improving the reading experience of the readers is the last thing on the minds of some editors; they're out to gratify their tough-guy egos as self-appointed nay-sayers and deleters. That's the fatal flaw of Wikipedia, and why it'll never be a great thing — because it doesn't care about its end-users. I understand the need to be careful about copyright issues, but I also know that that photo deletion was just a guy getting his rocks off. It hurt the article, and there's not a damn thing we can do about it. I'm this close to walking out of here and never coming back. I know my onions about publishing and I'm sick of being thwarted by editors who don't.

Thanks for listening. P.S.: it was a nice, touching caption, don't you think? — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:16, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

The photo is now showing up as an orphan, which makes it a more prominent target for deletion. I tried putting it on my own page, but the system doesn't seem to recognize that as an article. Ah well. I'm getting to hate this place. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:26, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I take it back — s/he has started quite a few articles. There was a real jag of photo deletions, though. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:31, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Kind of ridiculous, I agree.Dohhh22 (talk) 18:21, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I sent a respectful note to him/her, arguing that Wilder was central to the development of the film, but s/he was unmoved, saying that the picture didn't enhance readers' understanding, it only showed what Wilder looked like. No change of mind. That's why so many articles here are just vast wastes of gray. Pity. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 22:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Man, I just read the justification and I have to tell you, that argument just seems like opinion to me. There is no set of criteria that you can peg against to say it does or does not enhance the article for the reader, so how can it be argued that it does not?Dohhh22 (talk) 01:21, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

There hasn't been an edit since that one, so you could undo it. I don't feel I should undo it because it could be construed as starting an edit war. The choice is yours; you have my full backing (for all that's worth) whatever you decide. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:09, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Hiya, Dohhh... No, I don't consider "our" article (don't let anyone hear that!) done, I'm just a little discouraged about that photo getting yanked. I poked around the Library of Congress looking for a public domain image — which we could dig in and keep reinstating because it's p.d. — but to no avail; the only Wilder photos they had were clearly Sunset or Some Like It Hot and wouldn't've worked like the one we had. I couldda sworn I once saw a Carl Van Vechten shot of him in the early '40s, and all those Van Vechtens are in the LOC and are p.d., but damned if I can find it. You still proud of the article? I am. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 17:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

WOW, Dohhh!!! Your music add is GREAT!!! Nice touch!! — HarringtonSmith (talk) 17:27, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Absolutely. I think it came out great! I don't think there is much else that could be added.Dohhh22 (talk) 17:32, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

That goddamn picture could be, goddamit. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 17:55, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

I gave the article another look tonight and really liked what I saw. You do nice work, Dohhh! Despite what Wilder said about a collaboration needing lots of contention, working with you was my most enjoyable Wikipedia experience, bar none. Thank you for it! — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:35, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

It was nice working with you as well. Maybe we will do another one sometime. I do like the way this came out despite not getting the pictures we wanted!Dohhh22 (talk) 20:27, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

You missed the fireworks tonight. An editor came in and rewrote the captions, in too many passes just to undo, so I had to try to fix 'em all by hand. — HarringtonSmith (talk) 02:20, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Unbelievable. Why do people feel the need to come in and make their stupid little preferential wording tweaks? Go work on an article that obviously has not had any effort put into it. There has to be a million of them out there.Dohhh22 (talk) 02:34, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

It turned out okay. After batting it back and forth a couple times, s/he went elsewhere. Which is fine. When I realize I've stumbled upon an article someone has/is cultivating, I always defer to them. I was hot at the time, but it turned out fine. (Still wish the trailer-playing box was bigger, though... go look how big the one is at Bonnie & Clyde. That's the size I'm used to seeing around the place here.

You realize, of course, you and I are like some couple who've had a child... there'll always be this article holding us together. I ran here right away after fixing the captions to tell you all about it! Hahahahaha! — HarringtonSmith (talk) 05:07, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

>Standing, smiling, applauding...< HooRAY, hooRAY, hooRAY! ! ! [see below] — HarringtonSmith (talk) 15:51, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, thank you. As much yours as mine. Honestly, I never would have gotten this far without your help.Dohhh22 (talk) 16:03, 26 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey, Dohhh, how've you been? I got a note warning me that they're warming up to delete that Wilder photo which has been an unattached orphan. If we're going to try and get it back in, we — meaning you :) — need to try it in the next couple days before it gets deleted. I myself have been discouraged about this place. I've got an IP-account editor who's deleting stuff from my poor little hundred-hit-a-month Laurel & Hardy Silents articles, and it's gonna prove to be my tipping point. How you been doing? — HarringtonSmith (talk) 17:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC) http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/ef/BillyWilderParamountPubPhoto1942.png

How you been? — HarringtonSmith (talk) 22:37, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Good. How about you? Just dropped in to take a look. I see people still feel the need to add their little tweaks. One of the books I requested while I was doing the research on this finally came in, so I may add a thing or two if it looks interesting. Dohhh22 (talk) 23:38, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

• Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
• Diversity winner
• Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of File:Sixteen Candles Soundtrack.jpg

The file File:Sixteen Candles Soundtrack.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Sixteen Candles#Soundtrack and songs. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE and MOS:TVPRODUCTION.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:28, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
