smittskyddsinstitutet

I wrote this entry, which is my first to Wikipedia, because i had visited the institute a few days ago. Unfortunately i do not know how to challenge the proposed deletion as the rules look complicated and i don't have time to go through an extensive learning process today. I wrote the entry because there was a reference to this institute in another article, (i think it mught have been about listeriosis) and the reference said that a Wikipedia entry defining or describing the institute would be welcomed. That is what I provided - why produce a 50 line article when a couple of lines, such as a dictionary definition, with a link to a URL referring to the institute describes it adequately? Perhaps the reference to that institute in the other article could be changed by including the English translation for the Swedish name in parenthese after the Swedish name? Then no footnote or cross-reference would be required. If you are able to fix this easily, can you E-mail me to tell me what you have done and i will look at the finished article as part of my learning process as a new contirbutor.

Speedy deletion of Image:Hank stram.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Hank stram.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 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 [[ Talk:Image:Hank stram.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 08:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to point out why I had to delete this image. The image is considered a derivative work of the bust, as the photo clearly was taken with the bust as the main subject, and thus the photo is still considered to be under the original copyright of the bust. As these busts are have a copyright that does not conform to the GFDL, the photo also does not conform to the GFDL, and thus cannot be hosted on Wikipedia. I really am sorry I had to deleted it, but I actually had the same problem, I uploaded a photo of Paul Hornung's HoF bust and it got deleted for the same reason. I just wanted to make sure you understood my reason for deletion. Cheers! « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 08:59, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Sadly that is correct. Every item that is created by someone is inherently copyrighted, thus a person could then release the sculpture into the public domain or license it under a separate license. The HoF holds full copyright over their busts, thus any derivative work will also carry the same license. So unless you feel like making your own sculpture, then we will have to find a free image of him. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 21:20, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Ncaa football sparty.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Ncaa football sparty.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?

More specifically, I think it's replaceable by a personal photo of Sparty at a Michigan State sporting event. There might even be some on Flickr. (ESkog)^(Talk) 01:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Leak

At least wait till it releases to post it. There's really no verifiable way to say it leaked, anyways. And the information is pretty irrelevant to the article. All it will do is make people look for it online, which in turn affects sales. I am strongly against the mention of leaks on Wikipedia. Find me a guideline to say that they are meant to be included in an article. dude527 (talk) 05:17, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I downloaded it too (huge System fan, myself) but since there's no policies on it, we'll have to have a talk page discussion on it. I'll create one, don't re-add the information until a consensus is reached. dude527 (talk) 05:32, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Last Comic Standing 6 Contestants

Instead of reverting me, it would be more constructive if you could demonstrate why these contestants deserve separate articles? The other contestant articles I didn't redirect have more content and either demonstrated or arguable separate notability. The only notable thing about the redirected ones is they are appearing/have appeared on the show - that doesn't warrant separate articles - any relevant info regarding their appearances can be placed in the main article. Exxolon (talk) 20:23, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

• If you're actively editing it's generally polite to reply to talk page messages. Exxolon (talk) 20:53, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
  • The relevant policy is Wikipedia:ONEEVENT - currently they are only notable for appearing on that TV Show so any relevant content belongs there. If other reliably sourced info showing notability independent from the show can be found the article(s) can be recreated at a later date. Exxolon (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Here you go

"Genre

The one or more music genres that the album reflects, delimited by a comma should be listed here. Genres should be linked (piped linked where needed), for example, "Rock, pop" should link to rock music and pop music respectively. Note that most genres aren't proper nouns, and shouldn't be capitalized, but the first word in the list should be."

While it's not set in stone, it doesn't matter if two words in a genre get separated, it doesn't need to be separated by breaks. I don't see how I'm showing signs of ownership, I just keep things on my watch pages, and edit where I see fit. dude527 (talk) 20:31, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Here, let me link you. Wikipedia:ALBUM#Genre

While I agree your way looks better, commas should always delimit genres. If you don't like how it separates a genre, I believe there's an HTML function (I don't remember it) that forces the genre to stay on one line, and not separate, but it should still be delimited by commas. dude527 (talk) 20:36, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

It's still generally cleaner then line breaks. If I can remember that HTML function, I'll tell you, but just gimme a little bit. dude527 (talk) 20:40, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:They say.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:They say.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:12, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Chuck Acoustic EP (Tour Edition Promo)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Chuck Acoustic EP (Tour Edition Promo), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Chuck Acoustic EP (Tour Edition Promo), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
