Fair use rationale for File:KixxCountryFormer.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:KixxCountryFormer.png. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 11:38, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Canada: Active Rock number-one singles

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on List of Canada: Active Rock number-one singles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article has never existed, has been deleted or is eligible for deletion itself. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Adam mugliston  Talk  06:55, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi FogDevil. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for File:Pic inverted a&tr lineup.JPG, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. You need to put the reason.

License tagging for File:CBTAMGFW.png

Thanks for uploading File:CBTAMGFW.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 03:08, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:NTVHD.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NTVHD.png. 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 ensure 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 non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Melesse (talk) 18:38, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the updates on Canadian genre charts...

...or lack thereof in the early 2000s. It would be great to track down any archives, but that's a Where's Waldo mission if there ever was one! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.195.51.88 (talk) 15:07, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Haha, thanks. I don't think there are any archives to track down. The first alt/rock chart ended in 2000, and the one we use now only possibly came into effect in 2006, and probably later. Oh well :( FogDevil 15:10, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Far away...far away, waste away..

Hi Fog! Sources such as "blogs", "facebook pages", "twitter posts" or similar things are actually "user-generated" thus it is not considered as a reliable source by Wikipedia. It it were an official blog of the band then yes, it is reliable but not by other people. I'll soon find and add a reliable source to those claims and will improve the prose like I've made that article. Thanks for your efforts and hope to see you around! →TSU ^tp* 02:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Bob's Burgers S03E03 - Bob Fires the Kids

You got to see the episode? As far as I know, it didn't air on GlobalTV or FOX, as it was preempted due to sports. How did you get to see it? You're so far the only person who has spoken about it being on your DVR.

76.2.76.27 (talk) 01:22, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

CJON-DT aired it. They're pretty much retarded, so they probably aired it not knowing they weren't supposed to. They aired/I have the new episodes of The Simpsons and Family Guy, too. However, they could also have aired on Global (most of Canada's source for new episodes of these shows) but I'm not sure either. I can take a video of them tomorrow (in about 15 hours, to be specific) to show that I have them. Not a video of the whole episode (as to not break any laws), but enough to show that I have them. Due to IMDB saying that they've aired in the USA on October 21, I wonder if that is a mistake of some sorts, or if they actually did air in some places there? FogDevil 01:45, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Right well you're going to need to prove that it aired. And by that I mean a reliable secondary source confirming it. Gran² 07:35, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Here is the video (I had to use Youku): Video FogDevil 18:16, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Okay, but it still needs a secondary press source to report it aired earlier there. I'm not disputing that what you're saying is true, but I can't source to a Youku video. Gran² 20:59, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm gonna look around the internet tomorrow for a source, but I doubt I'll find one that can be used. I mean, if IMDB isn't good enough, I'm not sure what is. To me, video proof is the best you can get anyway. I don't have anything to gain from the information being believed or not, but I want the air dates to be right. I know it's not your decision, but I'd think that a Wikipedia user who has been around for a few years with no major faults is a reputable source. FogDevil 01:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

What I'm surprised though is that nobody but you has reported about the episode airing. I've been looking everywhere for a full copy of the episode for wiki reasons as I own the Bob's Burgers Wiki. Thanks for giving us enough evidence though to show that at least one network aired it. 76.2.76.27 (talk) 02:58, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

NHL series soundtracks

Regarding your recent edit to NHL 2004: The same editor(s) (2 or 3 related IPs) who added the songs you removed made similar edits to many of the NHL series articles. I'm not familiar with those games, so I was wondering if you could take a look at the other articles to see if those other edits are also (as I suspect) bad. If you're not interested in doing all the clean up--it's a lot of articles--you could just let me know if all the added songs should go and I can take care of it. I'm watching here, so you can reply here. Best,--ShelfSkewed Talk 21:06, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Cool, I'll check it out. I don't know if they are talking about some songs that they put into a modded version or what, but they definitely aren't in NHL 2004. FogDevil 21:55, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Done, I hate when people do that, haha. FogDevil 22:12, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Same thing happens all the time on compilation album articles and other places. It can be annoying.--ShelfSkewed Talk 04:54, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Record Lists - Sources

Blogs and internet forums cannot be used as sources on Wikipedia. As applied to lists of record charts, this precise issue has been repeatedly discussed at Wikipedia Project Record Charts. Blogspot blogs, for example, have been specifically pointed out as never being a reliable source for these kinds of lists. You need to find different, reliable sources for the lists you've been updating and maintaining. Fladrif (talk) 01:35, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Fladrif,

Please do not take offense, as I know you are trying to do what you think is right regarding chart sources. However, I disagree with the "no blogs" rule. If you could let me know who I should discuss this with, I would greatly appreciate it.

Again, I would like to remind you that I definitely do not take this angst out on you, but, it really makes me feel terrible when the information I've added gets removed due to the site being a "blog". I really hope I can speak with the leader in charge of these decisions. FogDevil

You should take this up at the Reliable Source Noticeboard WP:RSN. As I said earlier, this precise question has already been discussed repeatedly at Talk:Record Charts [1]. Fladrif (talk) 14:51, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

I've raised the question here:Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Record_Charts_-_Blogs_and_Forums_as_sources. Feel free to weigh in there. Fladrif (talk) 16:22, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I've wanted to discuss it for a while, but I've never known where the right place to do so is. FogDevil 19:37, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The Two EPs (Rock n Roll Soldiers)

The article The Two EPs (Rock n Roll Soldiers) has been proposed for deletion. The proposed deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Ches's

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Ches's requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
