Michael D

He is best known as "Mike D", not "Michael D". I don't know how to change it or if I even have the power to change it. But as a Beastie Boys fan of about 15 years, believe me, it's Mike D. I've never heard Michael D. Please change it. Belasted (talk) 05:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for changing it. I tried to change it, but it wouldn't let me either. Do you know why, and how did you manage to change it? Belasted (talk) 05:42, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

You need to speak to an admin. Why? Because if you search for "Mike D" it takes you to a page that ultimately takes you to "Michael D" which just has a link to "Mike D". It's a minor thing, but still it's ridiculous to type in Mike D and go through that. I would contact an admin myself, but it's just not my thing. I can't focus enough to even find one.

License tagging for File:I hate kate.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:I hate kate.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) 08:07, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Jon cj graham.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Jon cj graham.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 05:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 05:16, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jon CJ Graham

Just a quick point regarding this AfD that doesn't seem to be coming across: Halo fansites / Machimima.com/ forums / etc aren't reliable sources. (Just because we think a forum is notable and have an article on it doesn't make it a reliable source). This isn't my personal interpretation of WP:RS, it's a fairly standard view across established editors. If you want the article to be kept, it needs to be properly sourced. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 04:46, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit to template:userbox/doc

I've undone this change. I'm not sure if it was meant to be lighthearted, but it was covering a part of the documentation. Please check to make sure things like that don't happen in future. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 13:24, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Jon cj graham.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Jon cj graham.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may 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. FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:00, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Tourette's guy.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Tourette's guy.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Kinu ^t/_c 01:29, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:Classic Zebrahead.jpg

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Classic Zebrahead.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Tourette's guy.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Tourette's guy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

AfD nomination of Joe Hahn

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Joe Hahn. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Joe Hahn. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:10, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Ihatekate2.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Ihatekate2.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
