External links.

edit

Why have the few external links been removed? They were non-biased, informational, and none of them led directly to the subject's website. Beanhugger 19:16, 26 September 2007 (UTC)beanhuggerReply

Maybe they were fan-based? As I understand it, a newspaper's online article would be okay, someone's well-written blog would not be. (I tried to look in the history section, oddly I could not find when and what links got deleterated. ) Lots42 20:08, 26 September 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, I found somewhere (not sure where now, because I was just clicking links one link after another until I spotted it) that someone had deleted my last edit, which included the links. Maybe I should try to re-add some of them. All of those links were valid, and none were just somebody's blog. Beanhugger 20:16, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
FYI, I don't think self-promotional MySpace pages are allowed, if in fact, you're the one who added the link. Lots42 11:03, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
How is it self-promotional? I don't work there or want to sell their tickets or anything like that, I just know they have a MySpace page. There are a lot of theatre sites on Wiki that have links to their main websites- I just have a MySpace link and I don't think that's biased in any way.Beanhugger 20:15, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
I'm almost sure MySpace links aren't allowed period in any way. That's all. Lots42 00:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Picture uploading

edit

I've uploaded a picture twice now for this page and both times it's been deleted. I've read all of the images uploading rules, and I see no reason why my image should've been deleted. It's an actual photo of the theatre (I know, because I've been there) that I found on a reputable website (gophila.com- for all things Philadelphia), which was using the image in an article about the theatre. How much more do you want?? I don't know the full copyrights for it, but I assume that if gophila.com could use it, so could I as long as I referenced where I got it. All I want is to share what information I have about this theatre with the general public, and since the content I've uploaded recently is still up, obviously I'm doing something right. Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?? Thank you!! :) Beanhugger 04:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

As I understand it, each picture needs it's own customized text section saying how it's used for the article in question. But I don't claim to be an expert in Wiki-policy Lots42 10:59, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Of course, a link would be more useful then my half-assed blathering. http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#Requirements Lots42 11:01, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for trying to help! I did include all of that information when I uploaded the picture- I put all of the free-use rationale information that I could. That's why I'm not sure why it was taken down-- by a bot, no less, so I have no way of contacting the person who did it. The other picture is still up, and I did that one the same way. It's very confusing! Beanhugger 15:42, 5 October 2007 (UTC)Reply
