In reference to your village pump question, I think the Wikipedia:Fair use page may provide the answers you seek.

I think an attributed quote from the interview would be fine. Audio excerpts from the interview might be pushing it. There's definitely a judgment call involved, so lean toward conservative. remington 23:58, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Citation of audio quotes edit

Also in response, if you're using the <ref> style at Wikipedia:Citing sources and want to cite an interview in a footnote...[1] Well, I don't think there's any specific format, but put in as much information as you can that would help someone locate that interview later, if they wanted to check the quote or get more context. Don't worry too much about the order of the info, or what should be in italics, or what should be linked, because if someone objects they can always clean up the format later, but as the person inserting the information you're the only one that can provide accurate citation details.

Sample reference for the above footnote:

  1. ^ Random factoid, by Catherine Munro. All Things Considered radio show on NPR, first aired April 1, 2000.

Hope that helps! — Catherine\talk 08:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your WP:AIV edit

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pitime.jpg) edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Pitime.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:12, 10 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Bhhs.PNG edit

 

Thank you for uploading File:Bhhs.PNG. I noticed that 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, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 21:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rodhullandemu 21:02, 2 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Ted Barnes edit

 

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 Ted Barnes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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. Gigs (talk) 18:58, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Notification of automated file description generation edit

Your upload of File:Bethlillith.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

Non-free rationale for File:Comfort of Strangers (Beth Orton album) cover art.jpg edit

 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Comfort of Strangers (Beth Orton album) cover art.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:06, 21 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
