Shank's mare

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Shank's mare, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

101 Ranch Oil Company

Your change on 101 Ranch Oil Company’s dissolution of 1920 is not correct. I understand that it was dissolved @1917 when it was “sold” for cash and shares in the Marland Oil Company. Please adjust the entry. Thanks:Jcmcapital (talk) 01:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Help, edit disputes

Hi, you left the initial welcome message on my talkpage offering assistance way back when, so I figured I'd ask you. What should be done when an anonymous user repeatedly (but infrequently) reverts edits and is completely silent on talk pages? It's not traditional vandalism, as I think he believes his edits are justified, but I think he's just failing to read my comments. It's also not 3RR as it's over a period of days or weeks. So is failing to participate in discussion a form of vandalism? Is there a user talk template appropriate for this sort of thing? Most of the instructions on conflict resolution assume both sides are communicating; what should be done when the other party is being silent? This is specifically related to List of fictional companies and 70.42.78.72. Thanks. -Verdatum (talk) 19:35, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, sounds good. -Verdatum (talk) 20:58, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, he did it again. But I don't particularly care, I've decided to give up on maintaining the article in question. Thanks again. -Verdatum (talk) 18:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Richard W. Fisher Article

I have added an "NPOV" tag to Richard W. Fisher, an article you have previously edited due in part to potentially-controversial edits made by an anonymous user. I have initiated a discussioon regarding this matter on the article's Talk and your thoughts would be appreciated. --TommyBoy (talk) 00:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Fuseli panel.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Fuseli panel.gif, Image:It cover.jpg, Image:Nil by mouth poster.jpg, Image:Dead Mans Party album.jpg, and Image:Vindaloo cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationales you have provided for using these image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description pages and clarify why you think the images qualify for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your images are 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 it is determined that the images do not qualify under fair use, they will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Cruise West

I see that you are one of the qualified administrators who can copy code from a deleted article back to my userspace. Would you be so kind as to provide me with the data for Cruise West? Unfortunately I don't log in very frequently and completely missed the discussion about deleting this article. Had I been aware I would have offered relevant changes at that time and hopefully could have avoided the deletion. I'd rather not spend the time recreating the wheel when I could be using that time to better enhance the article that was already written. Khaufle (talk) 03:02, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Skysoap.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Skysoap.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:16, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Angrydog.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Angrydog.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Andreas of greece 2.jpg}

Thank you for uploading Image:Andreas of greece 2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

PR experiment

Dear GeeJo, I'm writing in hopes of enlisting your aid in a four-month experiment at Peer Review (PR). The success of the experiment will depend on finding at least 10 editors willing to review at least one article a week through the end of October 2008. The experiment will employ a streamlined review process designed to insure that every nominator who seeks a review gets one and that reviewers do not waste time doing long reviews for nominators who do not respond to an initial short review.

The way it works is this: (1) Choose any article at Peer Review that lacks a review. Wikipedia:Peer reviews by date, especially the backlog list, is still a good place to find such articles. (2) Provide a short partial review based on your initial observations and wait to see if the nominator responds. Examples of short reviews can be found at Wikipedia:Peer review/Foreign relations of India/archive1 and Wikipedia:Peer review/Ed Stelmach/archive1. (3) If the nominator does not respond, the review is done. (4) If the nominator responds, continue the review as you see fit.

The experiment will require no noticeable administration. However, if you plan to participate, it would be helpful if you posted a brief note to Wikipedia talk:Peer review to that effect.

At the end of October, we can see how the experiment turned out and whether this process or some modification of it could sustain Peer Review permanently with minimal backlogs. If you can help, that would be great. If not, that's perfectly OK. We are all tremendously busy with a lot of different projects.

I have chosen to write to you in part because you've done peer reviews from the backlog during the past four months. Please forgive the form-letter nature of this note, which is more efficient than a personal note. With respect and thanks for your hard work on many projects, Finetooth (talk) 20:31, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Last autumn, I'd put up this image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ADAM_lymphatic.jpg

thinking that it was US Gov.

but 'Adam' (the source for med images) is not US Gov, so I never actually used it on an encyclopedia page. I'd like to delete it from wiki images. How do I do that? Or do I have to be an admin to delete? Thanks. Kenmcl2 (talk) 03:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

What's the deal with Ford on flickr?

I was doing my daily browsing of interesting media licensed exclusively as "cc-by" and "cc-by-sa" on Flickr, when I stumbled upon what I thought was a goldmine. Hundreds of great publicity shots from Ford Motor Company. Well, as it turns out, only the more recent posts to Flickr are cc-by, all the rest are cc-by-nc. Then I noticed that you made arrangements with Ford for the use of one of the cc-by-nc's in our article on the Ford Flex. What's the deal? Does OTRS have on file the permission for us to use their cc-by-nc content as cc-by? Or are there alternative arrangements? If you want to see what I've uploaded from their rent cc-by releases, I've created a new category on Commons: commons:Category:Taken by Ford Motor Company. Let me know your thoughts on this, Lar and I were discussing this earlier (when we thought everything was cc-by) and were pretty excited. It would be nice to have a rich database of content to illustrate our Ford product articles with. --Dragon695 (talk) 00:42, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

credit line

Hello. We would like to use the image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Bilateral_exophthalmos.jpg in one of our upcoming medical publications. I understand that it is in the public domain; however, we still have to have a credit line for the figure, and Wikipedia is not appropriate. Can you let me know where, if anywhere, the figure was originally published, and if you know who the original photographer is? Thank you for your help.

oh, and if you could reply to sgranlund at dovetailcs dot com, that would be great.

Strange, but this category doesn't appear with the other categories in the usual place. GrahamBould (talk) 23:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

I swung by to say thanks heaps for your work in populating this Category! - You (and all who may have helped) are legends! :-) Thanks! - To answer the implied question above too - I was asking someone about how to create categories etc. (not really being very confident about this one) - and they suggested that I make this one a 'hidden' cat. - which you do just by adding a bit to the category page. I was thinking about starting a sort of 'video / multi-media portal' of some sort in due course, and would plan to showcase / link to various video bits and bobs there, but I'm not sure that having the cat. visible is great for the articles? - thoughts most welcome though, and thanks once again for your awesome work in populating the cat.! cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 06:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Thanks for uploading Image:Leif Garrett Mugshot.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

Re: Anticipation

It is a good point you are making here. When I created Joe McKinney's page, I included all that infomation i.e. his 'escape' to America to flee the curse of the advert - there is proof of it on the internet. McKinney was not happy about it, and while he was impressed with the page, the pro-Guinness advert part was another matter altogether. At one point, he said it was negative (check the history page).

I believe McKinney is trying to show that there is more to him than dancing around a settling pint of Guinness - and I believe there is - which is why he disagrees with certain extracts which refer to the commercial.Jemmabond (talk) 11:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

Moves

Howdy! A quick comment on the recent moves of advertising articles to more generic names - while the more unusual titles (such as Good Doctor) are likely only used for a single advert, some have been used for several different advertising campaigns, each of which could potentially have an article. Off the top of my head, I know that the title Surfer has been used for a Guinness ad, a Cadbury ad, a Pioneer ad, and an ad for the Volkswagen Polo, all within the UK and all of which won several awards. A brief search online also shows that it's been used for a Pepsi advertising campaign in Germany, a Lipitor campaign in the U.S., a Renault campaign in France, etc. The same type of thing is true for Dreamer, and a few of the other names moved. In addition, the character Michael Power appears in dozens of individual adverts, and one feature film - the new title is wholly inaccurate. Still, if you want the moving process to be complete, you may want to shift Pretty (Nike), Gorilla (Cadbury), Evolution (Dove), Grrr (Honda), and Sea (Smirnoff).

Thanks. I think there are probably some more adverts out there that I haven't caught yet. I put the Guinness adverts into a new category Category:Guinness advertising which helps with the sorting of the articles. I think you are right in your concerns that if there are other articles created with the same advertising campaign name there will need to be a rethink of the strategy - but the naming convention tends to go for the more obvious name first, and only go for more subtle names when the occasions arises. So we go for Great Expectations and disambiguate later, rather than starting with Great Expectations (novel) or even Great Expectations (novel by Charles Dickens).

Reassuringly Expensive

I can see what you are doing, and I think it's a great idea. I have created a quick cut and paste page to hold an overview of the campaign, and where information on the other adverts can be placed until they are ready to be broken out into stand alone articles.

Talk:Good Doctor (advertisement)/GA1

I have started a GA review of Talk:Good Doctor (advert). I feel that the article is clearly written with some good references and complies with most aspects of the GA criteria. The image is not cause for a fail but it is poor quality. I picked up some degree of uncertainty about dates in the Background section, and it might be worth looking into that to make it clearer who was involved when and doing what. The section is fairly dense, and time could be spent perhaps opening it up a bit. I have added sub-sections in line with the excellent NoitulovE that you worked on. I'm now looking at what information is available on the advert and if the article is broad in coverage. On the whole I am impressed. SilkTork *^YES! 17:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I have a couple of cite concerns that I have identified on the article page. And I have suggestions for development for "broad coverage" which I have left at Talk:Good Doctor (advertisement)/GA1. I'm putting the GA review on hold for 7 days. If I get time I will help out in developing the article. I anticipate this passing once the developments have been done.

Can you please move all 6 pages to my userspace, with the history intact (I am interested in who created the article, and when).

I really appreciate it. You are probably wondering why I ask. Well, I have spent my weekend on a graph found here: User:Ikip/AfD on average day. I am interested in what type of user gets their page deleted, etc....November 15 is just a day pulled out of a hat by another user.

Thanks :) Ikip (talk) 01:37, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
