Fair use rationale for Image:Frankswildyears.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Frankswildyears.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. Ricky81682 (talk) 05:30, 16 December 2007 (UTC)Reply


Guide to referencing

Sign

edit

As a courtesy to other editors, it is a Wikipedia guideline to sign your posts on talk pages, user talk pages, and WikiProject pages. To do so, simply add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your comments. Your user name or IP address (if you are not logged in) and the date will then be automatically added along with a timestamp when you save your comment. Signing your comments helps people to find out who said something and provides them with a link to your user/talk page (for further discussion). For further info, read Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. New posts go underneath earlier ones on a talk page. Thank you. Ty 04:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)Reply


Images

edit

You might find some of use in this category on Commons. Re. permission given for wiki use on myspace. That will not be enough. Images have to be released under GFDL or Creative Commons, such as CC-BY-SA (i.e. derivative and commercial use must be licensed). Also there is a problem of authentication on myspace: it needs to be validated that this is the official myspace page for an individual. One way of doing it is for the person licensing the image to state this on their own site, if they are willing to do this.[1][2] See also User_talk:VAwebteam#GFDL for an explanation of some of the points concerning GFDL. If you need further help, post on my talk page. Ty 02:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

You added a navigation template by cutting and pasting. It should be done simply by adding the code:

{{Stuckism}}

This transcludes the template, so when changes are made to it, they automatically appear on the article page. The template page is here: Template:Stuckism. Ty 12:39, 24 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Kubrick Criticism

edit

Dear Arturo,

Any section in the kubrick article on Kubrick criticism needs to be a broad and general survey of diverse views on Kubrick covering a broad range. Otherwise it violates Wikipedia's WP:NPOV policy which requires a Neutral Point of View. The same applies to any other major director, Welles, Hitchcock, Fellini, etc. etc.

Regards,

--WickerGuy (talk) 16:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Some negative assertions about Kubrick already exist in the sections of the article entitled "Later versions of source material for Kubrick films", and the section "Character". This last is an especially good example of a balanced article that maintains the Wikipedia policy of NPOV. Some folks speak well of Kubrick, others speak quite poorly of him. Other sections of the article note that SK has received occasional negative reviews. For example, the section on Barry Lyndon reads

Some critics, especially Pauline Kael, one of Kubrick's greatest detractors, found Barry Lyndon a cold, slow-moving, and lifeless film. Its measured pace and length--more than three hours--put off many American critics and audiences,

then mentions more positive reviews from others. Your section is skewed, and your assertion that the rest of the article is just a celebration of Kubrick isn't really entirely true.

--WickerGuy (talk) 16:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

The case against your additions was already made in clearly laid out Wikipedia guidelines WP:NPOV. They were not directly addressed to you, but since your contributions so heavily seem to violate those guidelines, the burden of proof is on you to establish why you haven't violated them. So no, I did not have to establish my reasons for deleting your work on the talk page. You have to defend yourself there. The following is clearly laid out in the Wikipedia guidelines in the section Wikipedia:UNDUEWEIGHT

NPOV says that the article should fairly represent all significant viewpoints that have been published by a reliable source, and should do so in proportion to the prominence of each. Now an important qualification: Articles that compare views should not give minority views as much or as detailed a description as more popular views, and will generally not include tiny-minority views at all.

Your work is both a clear violation of this, and as I have argued above, while the article is fairly pro-Kubrick, negative views of Kubrick do appear elsewhere in the article.

Harris Smith

edit

This is a legitimate redirect. The article on Harris Smith the filmmaker was speedy deleted as he is not notable by Wikipedia standards. Please do not revert, and do not accuse other editors of vandalism per WP:ASSUME, when it is clearly not the case. If you feel there is a legitimate reason why an article on Harris Smith the filmmaker should be created, feel free to do so as Harris Smith (filmmaker), but keep in mind Wikipedia policies on [{WP:N]], WP:NPOV and WP:V. Thank you. freshacconci talktalk 19:31, 21 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Re: Jonathan Douglas Duran

edit

Two people requested deletion with no one arguing to keep it, and it had already been relisted. It's an entirely appropriate close. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 01:21, 6 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Tony Juliano

edit
 

The article Tony Juliano has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.
