Loudness war

edit

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Loudness war, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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.

Please don't revert my external link deletions without discussing it with me next time. Most external links that are posted to older articles, tend to be posted by people who have a connection to the reference web site itself. So, trying to determine the importance of such additions should be every Wikipedian's foremost concern. I've read the explanation by the author of the ProRec article and I find it to be sufficient. However, I am deleting the other one you reverted. I am weighing the importance of having more external links added against using this web site's content to enhance the LW article. And even though I do think is a good article, it's redundant as the most basic points have been touched by the other ones. Although Org site makes it more suitable to be included, the amount of ads, doesn't. There are others with about the same amount of ads, but somewhere down the line, editors have to draw one to stop the proliferation of spam. Therefore, unless another editor besides you and the one who posted the link, believes that it should be re-posted, I would leave this issue alone and not revert it again. Thanks.

Fair use rationale for Image:Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Paul Simon - The Rhythm Of The Saints.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image 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 image 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 '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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

  Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Loudness war are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Paxman Valenta image

edit

Thanks for that, it has been needed for some time.

However it's going to need more paperwork, otherwise it will get deleted in no time. Try WP:FUR for guidance.

PS - please don't post on my talk: page about this, just comment here and I'll see it. There are a couple of "people who act out of sheer GF to maintain WP's Purity of Essence" who stalk my talk page. They'll probably delete it in moments if they see a link to it. <words I can't use here> Andy Dingley (talk) 10:15, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

Added fair use rationale to the image, should cover all bases. Squirrel (talk) 10:23, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:Hst-power-unit.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Hst-power-unit.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) 11:05, 18 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Unless you have a proper source for the information about the Valenta, don't add it in. This not a fan site or someone's blog. Continuing to add unsourced information after it has been removed is edit-warring and can lead you to being banned from editing. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 16:59, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

OK, got ahead of events there, apologies. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 17:01, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
No problem. Maybe just request that a reference or source is added rather than deleting on sight? Although I get that vandalism is common. Squirrel (talk) 17:02, 15 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
You’re doing it the wrong way round - we don’t add content then add sources later, we hold off until the content is WP:V with sources, then add it. Danners430 (talk) 08:54, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
There was a verifiable source for the Valenta being reinstalled in 43044. My edit was reverted before I could add a link to the source, however it has been widely publicised by 125 Group that 43044 was purchased for preservation and with the intention of returning it to Valenta power. The source on the 125 Group site is now linked. Squirrel (talk) 09:00, 16 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
