Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Heather stevens.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 03:22, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Editing Soap Opera Articles

If you are interested in improving articles relating to soap operas, you should consider joining the Wikipedia:WikiProject Soap Operas. —Evaglow 04:35, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

{{unblock|I'm very sorry for violating the image rules. I followed the directions exactly. I said that they were copyrighted and I identified their source and reasons for uploading them. I'm very sorry if I misunderstood in any way. I promise you I did read the rules carefully. I respect Wikipedia fully. I merely wanted to improve these pages because of my love for soap operas. It's wonderful to have the opportunity to contribute this way. Again I love Wikipedia, I respect it's rules, and I do understand them. I'll e happy to avoid uploading images for awhile but I would appreciate the opportunity to be able to edit again.}}

I'm willing to unblock you on this basis. Hang on while I get some input from the blocking admin. --Haemo 02:17, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Appears we were looking at this request at the same time, Haemo. I've just asked JzG to comment. - auburnpilot talk 02:19, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

You actually edit-conflicted me out of posting that request. I've chimed in there too. --Haemo 02:20, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Great. Hopefully he hasn't signed off for the night. - auburnpilot talk 02:23, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

• Hello, Youngandrestless. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience, it seems I got myself mixed up between two concurrent cases. I have unblocked you. There is a bit of an issue with "found on the web somewhere" images, but nothing I think you can't fix with a bit of guidance from people familiar with the fair use criteria; we need to have a proper rationale for use of each image, I'm sure you can work that out with no problem at all. Again, apologies for what was an error on my part, I should have just left a polite notice. Guy (Help!) 11:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Taglines

Hello. Please do not add taglines per WP:MOSFILMS. They are unimportant. Alientraveller (talk) 16:56, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

List of fictional supercouples

Because every fan has their favorites they consider a supercouple, we have to be pretty strict about who we add to the list. We have to have a reliable source, and blogs don't count unfortunately. AniMate 23:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Kevin Fisher

Why do you keep adding that section back to the Kevin Fisher article? Most of that information belongs in the introduction. The last sentence doesn't belong at all because it is purely opinion. Also the storyline section belongs in present tense. Rocksey (talk) 15:46, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

If you want to reply to me do it here or on my talk page, not on my user page. Insulting me isn't necessary. I don't pretend to know everything about Wikipedia, I was just giving you a heads up on the little part I do know. About the Kevin Fisher article, that stuff does belong in the introduction and I do see other character pages like that. Maybe you're only looking at the Young and the Restless pages which are mostly a mess. Here are some examples Bianca Montgomery, Greenlee Smythe, Kendall Hart Slater, and Pauline Fowler. A good introduction is supposed to summarize the entire article. Kevin Fisher's relationships and crimes are already written in his character box and in the storyline section of his article. If they're going to be repeated anywhere it would be the introduction. Rocksey (talk) 20:15, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Just a reminder, plot summaries are supposed to be written in present tense per the Wikipedia guideline WP:TENSE. Also, no contractions within articles. Example "isn't" should be "is not". I went ahead and fixed that in the Kevin Fisher article. Rocksey (talk) 21:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
