Fair use rationale for Image:Keyshia Cole at the 2008 Grammy Awards.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Keyshia Cole at the 2008 Grammy Awards.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 non-free media 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. DiverseMentality(Boo!) 04:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of A Different Me edit

 

I have nominated A Different Me, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/A Different Me. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Copyright violation in Image:Keyshia Cole at the Spirit Awards.jpg edit

 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Keyshia Cole at the Spirit Awards.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Keyshia Cole at the Spirit Awards.jpg is unquestionably copyright infringement [of http://web.wireimage.com/images/thumbnail/16087413.jpg], and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Keyshia Cole at the Spirit Awards.jpg, 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.

  Please do not add copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, as you did to Image:Raven Symoné Christina Pearman.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. —Kww(talk) 01:40, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I'll expand on that warning, because I just had to spend a half-hour tracing down whose copyrights you had violated and tagging every image you've uploaded for deletion. Not a fun use of my time, and I imagine it doesn't make you very happy, either. When you mark an image as "self-created", what you are saying is that you are the actual owner of the picture — that you are the actual person that held the camera and shot it. We both know that's not true ... your pictures of Raven-Symone came from askmen.com (or someone that copied it from them), and your pictures of Keyshia Cole came from wireimage.com. On top of claiming that you took the picture, you then released them under a Creative Commons Attribution license ... you told the entire world that they could copy the picture as long as they told everyone that you had taken it. You really need to read WP:IUP, WP:NFCC, and WP:FU. If you have questions, ask me. Until you read them, here's the short version:

  • You can't upload pictures you find on websites.
  • You can't scan magazine pictures and upload them.
  • You can't upload any image to Wikipedia unless you have written permission from the owner of the picture.
  • If you keep on doing things like that, you will get blocked from editing.

Like I said, leave me a message if you have questions.—Kww(talk) 01:56, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

I understand that you want to use a later image, but in order to do so, you must first find a later image that has been freely licensed by the creator for anyone to use. I don't believe there is such an image.—Kww(talk) 16:07, 25 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of A Different Me edit

 

A tag has been placed on A Different Me, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. DiverseMentality 18:30, 1 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

A Different Me edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from A Different Me, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Admc2006 (talk) 03:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

May 2009 edit

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give Eve (rapper) a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. — Σxplicit 21:06, 16 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

SockPuppet is false edit

I am not a sockpuppet of PrinceDavid46. I do so happen to be a friend of that person and they asked me to create a page for them. Only once. However, I did not know it was aginst the rules. Could an administrator please lift this indefenite block.

If you wish to be unblocked, you need to use the {{unblock}} template. Read this guide for help. However, I find it pretty hard to believe that you are two different editors. You have almost identical usernames, you both repeatedly created hoax articles about "Prince David Early" and your editing patterns are virtually identical (Keshia Cole, Eve etc) Papa November (talk) 07:37, 5 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Unblock request edit

The following request was sent to me by email from this user. Papa November (talk) 19:43, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Davidearly46 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I should be unblocked because there is not a thing that I did wrong. I do not have a sockpuppet. The reason of the almost identical names is because we're fans of the guy whose page we we're trying to create. I am friends with Princedavid46 however. David Early is name of a singer who has sold platinum albums under Geffen Records. We've been trying to create him a wikipedia page which is one of the reasons why we signed up for Wikipedia. So I ask could you please unblock both of our accounts.

Decline reason:

Even if you are not the same person, you are collaborating in the same disruptive editing. The David Early article is almost certainly a hoax, as discussed here. Both accounts have shown the same disregard for the image use policy (uploading blatant copyright infringements) and have been active in exactly the same articles. Papa November (talk) 19:52, 6 August 2009 (UTC)Reply


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Received by email edit

LOOK HERE NOVEMBER! YOU'VE BEEN GETTING ON MY NERVES EVER SINCE YOU FIRST TALKED TO ME! I'M SO SICK OF YOU'RE BULL CRAP! I ASKED NICELY FOR YOU TO UNBLOCK ME!

PrinceDavid46

I think this says it all. You even signed your email with the other account name! Papa November (talk) 11:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Amina (rapper) edit

 

The article Amina (rapper) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unsourced BLP about a singer whose only apparent claim to notability is a guest appearance on two Keyshia Cole tracks

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Michig (talk) 11:57, 21 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
