Orphaned fair use image (Image:YorkLogo50px.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:YorkLogo50px.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. Durin 22:53, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sizing of images

Dcwright; you do not need to upload various versions of an image to get different sizes. The Wikimedia software has support for resizing an image. Look at the code that I am typing here to see examples. Visually, you'll see the difference in size between these two images, but they are the same image...I'm just asking the Wikimedia software to resize. Observe:

   File:USNavyBandLogo.jpg

Hope this helps, --Durin 22:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned images

Drcwright; fair use images must be used in the main article namespace or they are considered orphaned. The main article namespace is comprised of actual encyclopedia articles. Userboxes, userpages, templates, categories, and etc. do not count towards this requirement. Further, fair use images may not be used on userboxes, userpages, templates, etc. Please do not remove the orphaned fair use tags from images until you have verified they are used in actual articles. If you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. Thank you, --Durin 23:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Image:YorkLogo50px.gif

The page I see states that it is fair use of a logo "to illustrate the organization, item, or event in question". Does it need to be in an article? It currently being used in the YorkU userbox for student and alumni of York University, and I think that should be sufficient.

Regarding Image:YorkLogo48px.gif -- I didn't like the quality so I redid it (Image:YorkLogo50px.jpg) with plans to delete it (~48px.gif).

Oh. I don't see how all the images in those userboxes are in a main article. I'll look into it though. Thanks. Drcwright 23:09, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

• Fair use images are not permitted on userboxes, period. At any given moment, there are userboxes that have fair use images on them in violation of policy. Myself and a number of other editors attempt to police this. --Durin 23:13, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I am curious as to why this Queen's logo is not considered orphaned. It is only on user and template pages.
Image:UsermadeQueen's.png —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drcwright (talk • contribs)

• Because it's not tagged with a fair use license, but a free license. In this case, {{PD-self}} --Durin 23:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Ohhh. I thought that because this represented York's logo, I had to tag it as a logo. I added the text and used 2 different images in Photoshop to make the logo. Do I thus change the license to "free"? Drcwright 23:26, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay... no matter. That was the wrong one too. I've added a new one Image:YorkLogoMotto.png under a free license.

• Forgive me but I think I may not have conveyed the point. The logos must be tagged as logos because they are copyrighted works. We can not free them of copyrights just by tagging them under a free license. We have to gain specific release of rights from the copyright holder for that.
• With regards to Image:YorkLogoMotto.png, that is a derivative work, combining the copyrighted images Image:Yorkucrest.gif and http://www.yorku.ca/alumni/images/yorkheader.gif. Yes, some of your creativity went into making it. York University however retains rights to the graphic. I'm sorry. I've retagged the image as {{logo}}, removed it from the userbox, and labeled it as orphaned. --Durin 03:07, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
• Shit. Thanks. I've got it now. Although, I think it's silly that a logo can't be used for a userbox when that logo clearly defines the membership of the userbox.

• Drcwright, you've once again added a fair use image to the York U userbox. This time, it was Image:Yorkucrest.gif. Could I ask you to please query me on my talk page before adding another image to that userbox? I've tried to communicate to you the nature of these images and how to avoid using them but apparently I'm not getting the message across. Perhaps if you just asked me directly I could tell you, before you put another fair use image on the userbox in violation of our policy. Ok? --Durin 18:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

• OK... I was thinking only "fair use" images that are used in an article could be used for userboxes. Re-reading your above notes, I see it was pretty clear. Got it. (For real this time.)
• I've uploaded . Left note on your talk page. Will wait to hear from you before using.

Fair use rationale for Image:LucieBlackman.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:LucieBlackman.jpg. The image description 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.

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.

Mama-san

Hi. I browsed through the history of hostess bar, and your name comes up fairly often, so I figured it's safe to assume you have some knowledge/interest in the more Japanese side of nightlife in Japan. The reason I decided to contact you is this: if you should have some knowledge of the whole mama-san thing, could you look into the article? It's in a terrible state as it is - it's been started out with the assumption that mama-san implies to female pimps in Thailand, and while this may be true it's blown out of proportions in the article. For comparison, the German article is way more apropriate - it describes your typical motherly snack bar mastress who pours drinks for sarariman, listens to their complaints and pats them on the shoulders because their bosses don't. Sarariman aren't even mentioned in the English article. If you have no time for or interest in this article, I'll probably eventually just translate the German article. TomorrowTime 02:05, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Got your reply. Same here about the job - just got a new one. Funny thing, jobs. You have so much less time on your hands...

Anyway, how about we do a collaboration? I translate the German article into a sandbox somewhere and then you can go through it and add whatever info you've got? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TomorrowTime (talk • contribs) 08:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC).

Proposed deletion of Minerva Networks

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Minerva Networks, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Image copyright problem with Image:KiryuCityEmblem.png

Thanks for uploading Image:KiryuCityEmblem.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

SFU userbox

At the time, the userbox contained the file File:SFU crest.png, which was (and still is) a non-free logo, and therefore couldn't be used outside articlespace. The new image you've used is of course fine. Black Kite 06:09, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

William Saito

I notice that you seem to have flagged this article on William Saito as being too much like a resume. In your opinion, what changes would be needed to make it less resume-like and for this comment to be removed? Hughashton (talk) 04:09, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

I think it's fairly obvious. Remove the long lists of awards and past positions... or articles that he is referenced in? Look at Jack Welch's page for an example.

I'm the person who did the major overhaul of the article in question, and I'd also like to get some specifics from you on what needs to be changed before I get started on the revision. (I've got a pretty good idea already, but would like to address your concerns in a comprehensive fashion.) Thanks! Djtokyo55 (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2010 (UTC) (see above)

Proposed deletion of AQuantive

The article AQuantive has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Page contains little or no information.

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. LES 953 (talk) 21:45, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of AQuantive

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on AQuantive requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. LES 953 (talk) 01:12, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Nomination of AQuantive for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article AQuantive is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AQuantive until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. LES 953 (talk) 02:21, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!
