Yearbooks

I see some of your yearbook images are up for deletion again. (E.g. Image:McCrery 07-04-2008 04;16;37PM.JPG.) I think folks are confused because they are tagged as GNU free documentation license, but if they are truly public domain in the US because copyright protection wasn't obtained at the time they were published under the laws that were in effect back then, then you should probably tag them as {{PD-US-no notice}}, right? That might help avoid confusion in the future. Hope this helps. Crypticfirefly (talk) 06:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Reliable sources for television shows

I notice that you've been working on lots of television articles lately. Long-standing precedent says that imdb.com, tv.com, and any geocities.com pages are not reliable sources. There are lots of books that are very good sources. I own 2 books that I use for trivia contests that are very good for this purpose. One of these books is extremely good and highly reliable (at least I almost always found the same answer as the trivia contest answers). It has every single TV show from 1949 to 1979, even the hard-to-find Saturday morning cartoons and DuMont shows. The book is called "The Complete Encyclopedia of Television Programs: 1947-1979" by Vincent Terrace (ISDN 0-498-2488-1). We call it THE red book. While it's somewhat hard to find, I bought a second copy a few years ago. Reliable sources that quickly come to mind are Google Books, and NY Times. You might be able to find some old used book cheap at a used book store (old = perfect!). Royalbroil 05:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view previous uploads by going to your user contributions on the left and choosing the 'image' namespace from the drop down box (or see [1]).

Billy, I think the better question would be to ask what you took a picture of: Did you photograph Pete Fountain and his clarinet in person, posing in front of you? Or did you photograph a portrait that was located at the museum? — Bellhalla (talk) 23:36, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

I took a poster cut-out of Pete Fountain in the Delta Music Museum.Billy Hathorn (talk) 05:59, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

• Wow. You didn't know any better than that? If you didn't take the photo of Pete Fountain, it is not yours to copyright and license. Taking a photo of someone else's photo doesn't make you the copyright holder. This is copyright violation, false license, and false claim of authorship. Now you know. Don't do that. If you have uploaded any other images on Wikimedia with similar problems, I strongly suggest you list them for deletion. Or point them out to me or another admin and I'll take care of them. Sorry, I'm surprised-- thanks for all the good work you've done, but this is a serious problem. Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Thank you for your time. — Bellhalla (talk) 06:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

• B.P. Newman read more like an obituary than an article. Praise from people Wikipedia has a article on, such as S. Representative Henry Cuellar, is fine. However, the other quoted material would be better if they were rework the into the article as prose or removed. Also, you can comment at the AfD. -- Suntag ☼ 03:25, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

DYK and reliable sources

DYK is a great way to provide the incentive to create good articles. Many of the articles you've created are interesting to me and other readers, but have had problems with sourcing. As much as I love IMDb, it's not a reliable source. Just like Wikipedia, the IMDb content can be edited by anyone. There are plenty of reliable sources -- books, magazines and newspapers -- that are available to support the claims made in the hook, and the DYK folks are pretty meticulous about checking. A hook only supported by IMDb is not going to fly. Make sure that every word in the hook is supported by a source; If you can't support every word in the hook with a reliable source, reword the hook so you can. You can approach this either way. You can start with reliable sources for a hook and not use IMDb. Or you can use IMDb as a starting point to give you details and then find sources to support the hook in reliable sources. Either way (or both), you'll create an article that is reliably sourced with a hook that's reliably sourced. Please let me know if I can help with this process and keep up the good work. Alansohn (talk) 16:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I would say that 90 percent of the Wikipedia selections on television are from IMBD and nothing else. Billy Hathorn (talk) 20:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

I don't doubt that may well be true, but that doesn't make IMDb a reliable source. DYK has much tighter restrictions on verification of reliable sources, and the exclusive use of IMDb will prevent these articles from being accepted if reliable sources are not used. If you would like some assistance in finding reliable sources for your posts, I'm more than willing to help and point you to these sources. Alansohn (talk) 01:45, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

IMO we shouldn't feature articles that rely heavily on unreliable sources on DYK at all, whether or not the hook itself is supported by a better reference. Gatoclass (talk) 07:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

• Billy, as discussed in more detail in this DYK thread, your listing a DYK hook for the Edith Killgore Kirkpatrick article sourced to an oral statement by Edith Killgore Kilpatrick (footnote 2) created more work for others. When you list a hook at DYK, please ensure that the hook is sourced to a reliable, verifiable, independent third party source. Thanks. -- Suntag ☼ 09:19, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

I ran into issues with another unreliably sourced article. I added the {{refimprove}} tag because maintenance is needed. Articles with maintenance issues are not selected for DYK. I brought up a solution with using reliable books in a section above and I was ignored by Billy. It's not like the articles are poorly written or something like that, they just need the research to be directed towards using a source with at least minimal reliability. Billy, these problems can be easily addressed with little effort from you! All you have to do is use book sources found at Google Books. Royalbroil 13:54, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Hoover_poster_IMG_0353.JPG

An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:Hoover_poster_IMG_0353.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Seanh (talk) 23:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

• • Same problem as with the Pete Fountain photo again. Taking a photo of a photo does not transfer the copyright from the original photographer to you. I suggest if there are any other images you've uploaded to Wikimedia with the same problem, please either fix the image page information or list them so they can be either deleted, retagged with correct info, or changed to fair use derivative with rationale as appropriate. Thanks. -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• • Eg, Image:Louis Duma IMG 0592.JPG -- As a pre 1923 US work, the photo is fine for use on Wikimedia as free licensed-- but it should be tagged as PD-US; you don't create a new copyright with yourself as copyright holder by copying someone else's photo. Thanks. If anything isn't clear to you, feel free to ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 17:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Your DYK submission of Outlaws (1960 TV series)

Hello! Your submission of Outlaws (1960 TV series) at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed. There still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Royalbroil 13:48, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

So I went to google books and searched for "outlaws" "Barton MacLane" and here's the results. Lots of reliable sources, although many are inaccessible as they are snippets. This one is real good. You can search the New York Times' website [2] or do a google search to find more. Royalbroil 14:22, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Antioch Baptist Church of Dixie Inn, LA IMG 1533.JPG

A tag has been placed on Image:Antioch Baptist Church of Dixie Inn, LA IMG 1533.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

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:Antioch Baptist Church of Dixie Inn, LA IMG 1533.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.

WT:DYK discussion

Hi there – in case you weren't already aware, there's currently a discussion here among several users who are concerned with your DYK submissions. It'd be best to step in and at least comment there, and start addressing the issues they're mentioning. Regards, Jamie^☆S93 03:45, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Formatting references in DYK articles

Please format your references properly in the articles you submit for DYK—ie, don't leave bare links sitting in the references when you can link the titles of the sources instead. I recently cleaned up the references in your Joe Rollins article, and someone else cleaned them up in John C. Fleming. But given how long you have been contributing, DYK will expect you to be able to format the references properly on your own. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 10:55, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

There's a nice tool for it. You can add a button to the right side just above the edit window. Here's how you do it: Click Preferences in the upper right. Click "Gadgets" tab. Add a check mark before refTools, adds a "cite" button to the editing toolbar for quick and easy addition of commonly used citation templates. Save it. You just click the cite button and pick the closest citation button to what you want. Royalbroil 07:01, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Concerns about John C. Fleming article

Hi there. I note that you are actively editing the John C. Fleming article. Please see my concerns on the talk page. — ERcheck (talk) 22:40, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

I note that you haven't responded on the DYK Talk page discussion referenced above. Numerous editors have concerns that you should be aware of and address in your editing. — ERcheck (talk) 22:52, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Not just on the Fleming article, but there are lots of warnings and advisories on your talk page. Please work on the concerns. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I suppose that the Fleming article can be updated again on Dec. 7 or 8. I don't think it is biased in his favor. Someone added that he entered the Navy to finance his education, but I missed that point, whereever it is.Billy Hathorn (talk) 04:36, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

In the interest of balance, consider expanding the Paul J. Carmouche to the level of detail contained in the Fleming article. — ERcheck (talk) 13:03, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Nominating DYKs

Please remember to include the closing brackets }} if you are using the template to nominate DYKs. The easiest way to nominate is to use

Also, you don't need to sign with ~~~~ when nominating using the template; the template adds a signature for you. —Politizer ^talk/_contribs 01:53, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Palisades Sill

Hello, I noticed you added a brief mention of another Palisades Sill in the article. When you say "8,000-foot," is that length or thickness? Also, it would be really helpful if you could write an article on the New Mexico intrusion, perhaps including an approximate age and basic petrography, rock type, or composition (if this information is available to you), and then add the link.
