Orphaned non-free media (File:2010 WNBA All-Star.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:2010 WNBA All-Star.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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Dan Hughes

Hello. Another editor tagged the article Dan Hughes for its similarity to it source, but did not provide you the requisite notice. Since resolving the issue does not require deleting the entire article, I have nevertheless processed the listing.

It is plain that when you created the article on March 2009, the source page already existed and already included - under full reservation of copyright - the content that you placed in the article. It is archived here. For one example of copied content, we have this:

Source

Content you placed in article

During his four-year stint with the Rockers, Hughes posted a 66-64 record with three trips to the playoffs. His overall record with the Rockers made him the winningest coach in franchise history. In his first season in Cleveland, Hughes directed the team’s resurgence from a 7-25 season in 1999 to a 17-15 finish in 2000 and was voted WNBA Coach of the Year runner-up. The following year Hughes was named 2001 WNBA Coach of the Year after leading the Rockers to a 22-10 record and to their second straight playoff appearance. The 2001 Rockers were one of the best defensive teams ever, posting defensive statistics that still rank amongst the best in the WNBA record books. Cleveland led the league in three defensive categories during the 2001 season, including opponents’ points per game (55.9 ppg, first in league history), opponents’ field goal percentage (.381, second in league history) and opponents’ total rebounds (27.84 rpg). The Rockers finished second in point differential (+6.8 ppg) and opponents’ defensive rebounds (18.56 drpg). Hughes’ Rockers kept 11 teams to 50 points or less, three teams to under 40 points and five teams to their franchise low, including a WNBA record 34 points vs. Washington on May 31, 2001.

Proposal to start a women's basketball task force

I'm very interested in improving coverage of women's basketball. I thought briefly about forming a Wikiproject, but while researching, realized that a task force would be ideal. There are two major advantages of a task force over a Wikiproject. First is that the task force can leave some of the bureaucracy to the parent Wikiproject. Second, and possibly more important, is that a task force can have more than one parent Wikiproject. While WikiProject Basketball is an obvious parent, so is WikiProject Women's sport, and the task force may be able to draw from both.

According to this process for starting a task force, the first thing to do is gather consensus, so I am sending this to some editors who have been active in editing relevant articles. If there is sufficient interest, I'll take a first stab at filling out the task force template and creating a draft task force page.

At this point, all I need is an answer to two questions:

1. I would (or would not) be interested in being part of a task force to improve the coverage of women's basketball
2. I think a different approach would be better (followed by alternative).--SPhilbrick(Talk) 11:58, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Basketball/Women's basketball has been created. I haven't yet added it to the Wikiproject pages, but will do that, however, I wanted to let you know it exists, and has some suggested tasks.SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:13, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

Incorrect WNBA roster template

You created the Tulsa Shock 2012 season page and in doing so used a template that shows the current roster, rather than the roster of 2012. Wickorama (talk) 07:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Country discography

I agree that it would make more sense, but chart peaks older than 2012 used to only appear in the source for the Country Songs chart and not the Country Airplay chart, which is why it was done the way it was. Recently Billboard started listing them in both, so what might work is combining the two columns, similar to what's been done to Carrie Underwood discography.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Tulsa Shock alternate logo.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Tulsa Shock alternate logo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
