[edit] Spam/nn

Please stop creating articles about non-notable things or spamming, It is rude and inconsiderate. Matthew Fenton (TALK - CONTRIBS) 17:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Local pride is good, However non notable subjects do not belong on wikipedia, However say if your show was to go national and become very popular then that would make it notable. Matthew Fenton (TALK - CONTRIBS) 18:13, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

-- Hi: Spaingy:

I admit that I also enjoy the Wolfe Tones, but please don't create articles based on there non-traditional songs. Boston Rose is a lovely song, BUT it isn't especially notable and can be safely enclosed within their article. The Wearing of the Green, although covered by the Tones, is an "Irish traditonal" air and as such is much more notable. Thanks. Try to focus on larger topics and things will be easier V.

[edit] License tagging for Image:Eoinwhite-timblenerhasset-theshaken2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Eoinwhite-timblenerhasset-theshaken2.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 14:07, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tara Whelan

With regard to your comment on this page, I wanted to let you know that I still felt Tara Whelan should have been deleted from Wikipedia. I feel she does not meet the standards for biographical inclusion, and Wikipedia is not a memorial. Particularly, you said that many other murder victims were included - this is not a reason for Tara Whelan to be kept, but for those other articles to be deleted. Stifle (talk) 22:54, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Created yourself

You noted on two images that you uploaded that you created (i.e. took, using your camera) them yourself. Please excuse me, but I find it highly doubtful that you took both photographs. Please add the actual source and license info to the image pages. Stifle (talk) 22:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Tara Whelan.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tara Whelan.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 22:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Tara School.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Tara School.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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) 22:57, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gondooley

I saw another gratuitous mention of me on your page. If you are serious about wanting me to write for you, it is essential that you prove you are not just someone who spouts a load of insubstantial nonsense and appears on the cover of a mag that never existed.Gondooley 00:31, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Images

How do I edit the image information for uploaded photos. This in reference to the late Tara Whelan. I assume that the family photo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tara_Whelan.jpg is public domain as it has appeared in countless newspapers around the country and on several television channels. The school photograph http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tara_School.jpg was scanned from the front page of the Waterford Today local newspaper. It was taken in the Our Lady of Mercy secondary school, by a hired photographer who is unknown. I doubt that he would own the copyright on this, so I listed self created on that image, since I scanned it myself. Spaingy

I am sorry, but this is totally wrong. An image is in the public domain if the copyright on it has expired or if it is not eligible for copyright (which generally only applies to trivial works or works of the US federal government). These images are the copyright property of the photographer who created them. You did not create them.

Since we have the source of Image:Tara School.jpg, it is possible to make a claim of fair use, and I have done so. Take a look there and see what I have done. If you can provide an exact source for Image:Tara_Whelan.jpg, you can do the same for it. However, it is definitely not public domain.

To edit the image information for uploaded photos, just click the image or a link to it, click Edit, and add in the relevant information just as you would do for any other page. You can find a list of copyright tags at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.

Finally, remember that you can only tag an image as {{PD-self}} if you are the only person to have had any creative input into its creation. Otherwise, it is copyright violation. Stifle (talk) 13:11, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Images

I don't mean to sound like a nuisance but can you do the images for me? I don't understand. Thank you. Spaingy 16:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I can't, because I don't know the source of the image. You MUST MUST MUST specify EXACTLY WHERE you got the image. Throwing around "it's been on TV so it's public domain" does not work. Stifle (talk) 15:18, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No personal attacks

Please mind Wikipedia:No personal attacks. If you have a problem with Stifle please talk to him/her. Thanks. --Fang Aili ^talk 21:23, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Sex symbol"

Please don't add any more "sex symbol" assertions unless you can back it up with reliable sources. --Fang Aili ^talk 22:32, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Well of course his own website is going to say he's a sex symbol. That's not a reliable source by any stretch of the imagination. --Fang Aili ^talk 13:57, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fit Finlay

Yes I was aware of that, but it's not automatic, and until you show the source, it shall remain the way it originally was.(Halbared 11:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Gazzo K

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Misza13 22:09, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
