Edits to DMB albums

I see you've added the Live Trax albums to the infobox chronology. As per the discography discussion on the DMB page, these albums have been purposefully left out of the chronology. The reason for that is the Live Trax albums are not released through normal channels, they are online order only, and since these are released at a rate of 3 or more per year they will quickly pollute the official discography/chronology. For these reasons I ask that you restore the chronology to include only regular studio and live albums. Adm58 07:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

How are these times being verified? By a fan with a stopwatch? Or are these based on the live album times? Or is there an official listing somewhere? The matter of verifiability is important.--Esprit15d 17:37, 21 June 2006

Editing Concerns

  1. Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Please do not blank editing notices in your talk page. This is generally considered vandalism. Personal attacks are the one thing you may delete. You may create an archive to archive the notices. Kukini 02:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the tracklisting on this article. The article contains no FIRM citation from U2 or record company. Sorry, i don't intend to be difficult, but wikipedia is only good if info is sound. Please reinstate if you can provide that confirmation. Kind regards --Merbabu 22:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

NYCS navbox

First, the navbox is maintained by WP:NYCS. I would go there first, as me and Pacific Coast Highway are part of the project. As me and him have reverted it multiple times, I would ask that you go to the WP:NYCS talk page and discuss the issue there. I will not guarantee that people will be so inclined by it. --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 13:57, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

No offense, but there is no need to use hex codes. Even User:Pacific Coast Highway disagrees with using them. It makes the whole thing more bloated than it already is. I have reverted it again, so please go to the WP:NYCS talk page and discuss your matters there. Thank you for your cooperation. --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 14:08, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

One of the central tenets of Wikipedia is: assume good faith. In other words, even when we disagree with someone, we should assume that they truly have the best interests of the encyclopedia at heart.

I am beginning to wonder if the normal good-faith assumption applies to you. You added hex codes to the {{NYCS navbox}} article on the subways project talk page. Two people objected and reverted your edits; nobody agreed.

Now I see that you simply went ahead and added them again anyway. This is not good-faith behavior and may be interpreted as vandalism. You obviously have considerable o the project. I suggest, however, that you try to play as part of a team, instead of unilaterally making changes that are not supported by the community. --Imdanumber1 ( Talk | contribs) 19:16, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that move was good; check the what links here on that page.--Ashadeofgrey 19:43, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Live from under the Brooklyn Bridge

Hi. I saw that you moved that article, and then tried to delete the redirect by using a regular AfD. Article for deletion is not supposed to be used for redirects, as these usually don't require a debate on weather to keep or delete. I removed the AfD notice and restored the redirect, but please take a look at WP:RFD#When should we delete a redirect.3F if you still want to delete it. Bjelleklang - talk 23:21, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Also, I'd just like to point out for you that many Wikipedians find it impolite when users blank their user talkpages, especially when they haven't replied or commented on previous posts. Please see WP:TALK. Have a nice day :) Bjelleklang - talk 23:36, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi,

How are you?

I am proposing that the following article: Release Lillywhite Recordings Campaign be deleted. There is no proof that this campaign led to the recording of Busted Stuff, or was acknowledged by the DMB or RCA people. While the campaign was mentioned in Rolling Stone and Entertainment Weekly, I don't think that is grounds enough to have a separate article. Please comment on the Talk page. Thanks.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Your Blue Room.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Your Blue Room.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Fritz S. (Talk) 15:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Redirects

There have been a number of redirects you have tagged with {{rfd}}, but never listed at WP:RFD. Please see the instructions for nominating a redirect for deletion. You need to follow both steps to complete the nomination. As these have been incomplete for some time, I have reverted the tags. If you still wish to nominate them for deletion, feel free to re-nominate them, but please follow the instructions. Also, do not redirect an article and then nominate that redirect for deletion (as you did with Ambler College). If you wish to see the article deleted, you should use WP:AFD or WP:PROD. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 15:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Semi-protection tag

Actually, the tag has no effect on vandalism. An administrator has to protect or semi-protect the article to have any effect. The tag is just for notification.--Kchase T 05:40, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:In_November_Sunlight.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:In_November_Sunlight.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 {{Non-free fair use in|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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BJTalk 03:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Miss_sarajevo2.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Miss_sarajevo2.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images lacking such an explanation will 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. ↔NMajdantalkEditorReview 20:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Good job on tour infobox

Good job on getting the tour infobox to sensibly handle individual artists' tour chronologies for collective tours such as A Conspiracy of Hope Tour and Human Rights Now! Tour. It was something that had stymied User:Davidpatrick and me. Wasted Time R 12:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

A belated thank you from me too! Wasted Time and I had come to a pragmatic compromise on the info that we felt needed to be in the infobox - but were both lacking the tech ability to do it!

There is one little change that needs to be done on one of the two info boxes - that I'm not sure how to do.

The infobox for A Conspiracy of Hope Tour is perfect. The text header for the various Amnesty events reads:
Amnesty International benefit events chronology

Now we need the header text in the other infobox - on Human Rights Now! Tour to read the same way.

At present it reads:

Amnesty International tour chronology

I have tried to change it to:

Amnesty International benefit events chronology

- but evidently I am doing it wrong! Could you please help make that simple change?

Many thanks! Davidpatrick 14:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Excellent! Many thanks! You are the person for infoboxes!!! Davidpatrick 16:17, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

"Esoteric Templates" ???!!!! - isn't that the name of a band?! ;) Davidpatrick 16:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Access symbols

Hi. With regards to your changes to various railway line articles, I was wondering why you have replaced the official International Symbol of Access with the current rather crudely drawn wheelchair symbol. The official symbol may be used within the terms of its copyright for uses defined in International Symbol of Access, including "Indicating an accessible transit station or vehicle". Furthermore, I have worked with people with disabilities in the past, and have found that badly thought-out or stereotyped signs, no matter how well intentioned, can often cause offence, and therefore the most prudent option is to stick to official symbols. – Tivedshambo (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

If you wesh to use the ISA, you'll have to get our fair use policies modified. --NE2 22:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I will email the ICTA to find out exactly what their terms of use are. – Tivedshambo (talk) 23:26, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
