Article Help

Hello Scientizzle, thanks for your welcome to wikipedia! I have a question pertaining to my article Petroglyph Fan Forums. I am a staff member of the forum and we decided to go ahead and add the forum to wikipedia because one of our rival forum, Lucas Forums added their own forum to wikipedia. If my article pertaining to Petroglyph Fan Forums cannot meet wiki guidelines, why does the Lucasforums article meet standards? Both articles are near similar, as I used their article as a basis for my own. Thanks! Popcorn2008 20:01, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Popcorn2008

Ah...I've checked out the other article, and it seems to have the same problems as your (but an 8 month head start). I'll tag that one for notability concerns as well. If you review WP:WEB it'll give examples of the type of information that you should provide. If notability guidelines aren't met it's very likely that an article will be deleted. Check out WP:V & WP:RS for important sourcing information. WP:CITE will give you a good way to cite any sources, too. The article is currently proposed for deletion, but it won't be acted upon by an admin for at least 5 days, so you've got lots of time to add to the article. Good luck! -- Scientizzle 20:12, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Strangers with Candy

Thanks for adding and improving those Strangers with Candy pages! I created most of the episode pages (the main page and other articles I have barely touched, though) and generally rewrote and formatted the pre-existing ones, though I kept a lot of the stylistic conventions. I like the idea of having the Primary and Secondary plots. Looks like you pull a lot of stuff from the DVD commentary as well. I hope you continue to work on these pages.

Pioneer high school POV label

Undoubtedly there are remnants of POV "info" on the Pioneer High School article, but it would be useful to accompany your POV lable with helpful comments on the talk page. I haven't had a chance to check the POV stuff yet myself of course... Just a piece of advice :) ~Gertlex 03:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Per the template page (Wikipedia:POV check): "Add the template at the top of the article, and then explain your reasons on the talk page" ~Gertlex 03:07, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gnomecover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Gnomecover.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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. (ESkog)^(Talk) 00:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:SegaScan1.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:SegaScan1.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:34, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:BravesLogo.JPG

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:BravesLogo.JPG. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 20:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Thanks for uploading Image:Fleet Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:51, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Ypsilanti High School (2006).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ypsilanti High School (2006).jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:51, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
