Show tune article

Hi there! Actually, there is a Show tune article. It's not very large and could use some work. Feel free to updated it if you so desire. Also, if you are interested in doing further musical theatre work, you might consider joining WikiProject Musical Theatre. Simply add your name to the participants section. Happy editing! --omtay38 18:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Aha! I understand now. It's actually under a slightly more confusing name (to match naming conventions) Category:Songs from musicals. For a full listing of categories, check out our Category Tree. If there's anything else I can help with, lemmie know . --omtay38 18:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I also just noticed that the show-tune stubs are a sub-category within that category, so they don't need to be placed into it unless they are un-stubbed. --omtay38 18:15, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Martha Clarke

Could you please provide some specifics as to your reservations about the Martha Clarke article? MdArtLover (talk) 22:07, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, I can see it your way in all the examples you cited, except the last: " ...her creative undertaking goes far beyond choreography to include and shape all aspects...". That is objectively true. A choreographer, strictly speaking, does not do all these other things that Martha Clarke does. I will change the other sentences, but not this one. Thanks.

Thanks very much for say so. ISD (talk) 21:37, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Yeah...I'm amazed at how hard I have to work to get some of these articles to stick. I still haven't gotten Conrad Makeni an article although he's one of the most important theatre artists in Kenya today. It seems ethnocentric to exclude him from Wikipedia. Thanks for your support! --In Defense of the Artist (talk) 16:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Zarin Mehta‎

I'm not an expert, so perhaps you may have some insight for the Zarin Mehta‎ stub I just created.

nor am i - though i'd be happy to do some research to expand the article. i'm probably not going to be around here much for the next little while; but i'll get on it when i return. J. Van Meter (talk) 01:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Then how about taking a look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2008 New York Philharmonic visit to North Korea and adding your opinion to the consensus debate before your wiki-break? Cheers. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 05:56, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Navy Motto

I'd have to say that, in most likelihood, the latter is the case. I see it on a fair amount of the official propaganda posters (lol) and other Navy Pride knickknacks that seem to permeate the community. Even if it is NOT the "official" motto, its use has been around for a while. If one Googles "Semper Fortis Navy" there are quite a number of hits. Definitely officially unofficial, if nothing else. I wouldn't remove it from the template right now... worst case scenario, place a cite needed tag on it. I'll place some feelers out there, see if I can find some Navy Times/All Hands back-issues that might reference it, ask around at work, etc etc.

Oh and thanks for the kind word... I appreciate your appreciation!  :-)

Thanks for the heroic clean-up work; excellent job! I still suspect this place would not have all the media attention if it weren't so close to the suburban stomping grounds of America's media elite; but then, I'm a provincial here in flyover country. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:35, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Golddusttwins.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Golddusttwins.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.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 19:24, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

At a minimum, you need to provide the citation information (title etc) for the book that it came from, such that others can verify it. You would also need to determine a valid license - {{PD-old-50}} does not apply to U.S. works. --dave pape (talk) 05:07, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Stingray Sam

The Wikipedia article for the upcoming Cory McAbee's film Stingray Sam is nominated for deletion. Please contribute to the discussion.--DrWho42 (talk) 03:18, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Eda Warren

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Eda Warren, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No awards. Unable to find any editorial content about the subject whatsoever. The one book referenced makes only a passing reference to the subject.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

License tagging for Image:MysteryDateGameboard.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MysteryDateGameboard.jpg. 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 "Edit this 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) 05:23, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Smallrochjazzlogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Smallrochjazzlogo.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. 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. Stifle (talk) 16:37, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Rochesterjazzfest.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Rochesterjazzfest.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) 05:06, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
