Replaceable fair use File:Michele Ragussis - Guy Fieri.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Michele Ragussis - Guy Fieri.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 the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 12:22, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Stephen Guarino

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.
  • Actually the source for Stephen Guarino is quite clear that he identifies as gay; the trick is to actually advance to the second page of the interview. Of course additional sources should be added if at all possible, but the existing one does cover that detail. Bearcat (talk) 23:59, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
    • Then wouldn't it have made sense to actually add the source from that page to the article? Never mind; I already did it. Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 00:50, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
      • There's no requirement to relink to multiple pages of the same article as separate references; linking to the first page alone is sufficient. Also, incidentally, regarding your frequent edits with the summary "so-and-so wasn't born in two cities", please note that people are not restricted to being categorized solely as "from" the place where they were born; they can be categorized as being from any place where they've lived, at any time in their entire lives, for long enough for that fact to be properly sourceable and relevant. If a person is born in San Francisco, moves to Phoenix in early childhood and remains there until they're 18, and then moves to Minneapolis as an adult and becomes notable while living there, then they can be categorized as being "from" all three places. Bearcat (talk) 00:42, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
And that discussion specifically points to the actual guideline on the matter, which specifically says that they can be categorized by any place where they resided for long enough for that fact to be meaningful and relevant -- otherwise, the only "discussion" I see in that particular spot is you and one other person agreeing on how you think it should be handled in one particular case, without actually suggesting any broader policy implications at all.
Of course, that doesn't mean that people need to be added to categories for places where they might have lived only briefly -- for example, if that hypothetical person in my previous example also spent a few weeks in Kansas City between living in Phoenix and Minneapolis, but didn't do anything of note while they were there, then they're not "from" Kansas City in any meaningful way. But if their entire public career took place in Minneapolis, such that their notability is specifically tied to that city (e.g. they became notable by participating in Minneapolis' music scene or by serving part or all of Minneapolis as an elected politician), then they're certainly "from" Minneapolis whether they were born there or not. And similarly, if their parents actually lived in Phoenix, but happened to be on vacation San Francisco at the time of their birth, then they're not really "from" San Francisco in any meaningful way, regardless of what's on their birth certificate, because they really only "lived" there for the first few days of their lives.
In a nutshell, people can be categorized as being "from" any place where they lived for long enough for that fact to be meaningfully relevant to an encyclopedia article about them -- sometimes where they were born will count, and sometimes it won't. Sometimes where they grew up will count, and sometimes it won't. Some places where they lived as an adult will count, and some places won't. It really depends on the individual, and on which places did or didn't play a meaningful role in their life story. Certainly there will be some cases where a "people from" category is just trivia that isn't particularly relevant to the actual content of the article, and it doesn't need to be there in such cases -- but the rule isn't that people can only be categorized as being "from" the place where they were born; it's that they can be categorized as being "from" any place that plays a meaningful role in the story that the article is telling.
Barack Obama, for instance, is (and quite rightly should be) categorized as being "from" both Honolulu and Chicago, since both places play a meaningful role in his biography, but he isn't categorized as being "from" some other places where he lived for shorter periods of time, like LA and NYC. Bearcat (talk) 21:29, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
All that talk and you still didn't answer my question: is that a guideline? Must not be. Why do you even care so much? Leave me alone, please. Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 22:52, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Firstly, yes, I did answer the question. It most certainly is the standard guideline, as spelled out at Wikipedia:Categorization of people (specifically the "By place" subsection) -- and as I pointed out earlier, it's linked to in the very discussion that you cited to "prove" your point (except that it didn't, because it linked to that very guideline and the actual discussion was only about which places warranted or didn't warrant categorization for that one specific person in accordance with the guideline, not about whether the guideline itself was inherently wrong.) And secondly, if you want me to "leave you alone", then don't make edits that I'm going to need to talk to you about -- because I'm under no more obligation than any other editor on this site to let a problematic edit slide just because the person who made it doesn't want to be talked to. So if you don't want me to point out when your edits are wrong or mistaken, then either (a) don't make wrong or mistaken edits in the first place, or (b) accept that people can and will point out when you make a mistake, and learn to be a little more gracious about it. Bearcat (talk) 01:51, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

  • If it was such a problematic edit, how come no one mentioned it before you did? And the subsection you pointed out (and I'll admit I didn't see the guideline at first) says people are sometimes categorized by notable residence, not always. Thus, my edit was not necessarily incorrect, much less problematic. (And the residence is notable in whose opinion, anyway?) Also, as far as being gracious, um...WP:POT, anyone? Admins need to show respect too. Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 02:49, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Caught in the Act (Modern Family), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rico Rodriguez (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Warning

  • As usual you wholly misinterpreted my words...I was referring to your final reply at BLPN, and I have no idea to which other "reply" are you referring. Maybe you have a real failure in understanding what people say, maybe you are just playing... however please consider the discussion closed and you yourself banned from my talk page, I have no time to spend in lame, unconstructive and endless discussions about a giant nothing. Any further message will be deleted without response. My best, Cavarrone (talk) 10:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
    • That's the reply you were referring to? I don't recall you clarifying that. Also, the last time I checked, a non-admin cannot ban another user from his talk page (not that I planned to go back there anyway...). Also, this isn't a warning (as though you had the right to issue one anyway); a warning is made via a template on WP:UTM. And I don't see why you're acting like this considering you're the one that caused all the trouble. Erpert Who is this guy? | Wanna talk about it? 10:29, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
