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)
Guide to referencing

I thought you might find it useful to have some information about references (refs) on wikipedia. These are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material; and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's highly advisable to also include a reference to say where it came from. Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started.
A reference must be accurate, i.e. it must prove the statement in the text. To validate "Mike Brown climbed Everest", it's no good linking to a page about Everest, if Mike Brown isn't mentioned, nor to one on Mike Brown, if it doesn't say that he climbed Everest. You have to link to a source that proves his achievement is true. You must use reliable sources, such as published books, mainstream press, and authorised web sites. Blogs, Myspace, Youtube, fan sites and extreme minority texts are not usually acceptable, nor is original research (e.g. your own unpublished, or self-published, essay or research), or another wikipedia article.
The first thing you have to do is to create a "Notes and references" section (unless it already exists). This goes towards the bottom of the page, below the "See also" section and above the "External links" section. Enter this code:
The next step is to put a reference in the text. Here is the code to do that. It goes at the end of the relevant term, phrase, sentence, or paragraph to which the note refers, and after punctuation such as a full stop, without a space (to prevent separation through line wrap):
Whatever text you put in between these two tags will become visible in the "Notes and references" section as your reference.
Open the edit box for this page, copy the following text (inserting your own text where indicated), paste it at the bottom of the page and save the page:
(End of text to copy and paste.) It should appear like this:
You need to include the information to enable the reader to find your source. For an online newspaper source, it might look like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Note the single square brackets around the URL and the article title. The format is:
Make sure there is a space between the URL and the Title. This code results in the URL being hidden and the title showing as a link. Use double apostrophes for the article title (it is quoted text), and two single quote marks either side of the name of the paper (to generate italics). Double square brackets round the name of the paper create an internal link (a wikilink) to the relevant wikipedia article. Apostrophes must go outside the brackets. The date after The Guardian is the date of the newspaper, and the date after "Retrieved on" is the date you accessed the site – useful for searching the web archive in case the link goes dead. Dates are wikilinked so that they work with user preference settings to display the date in the format the user wishes.
You can use sources which are not online, but which you have found in a library or elsewhere—in which case leave out the information which is not relevant. The newspaper example above would be formatted like this:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Here is an example for a book:
When uploaded, it appears as:
Make sure you put two single quote marks round the title (to generate italics), rather than one double quote mark.
These formats are all acceptable for dates:
You may prefer to use a citation template to compile details of the source. The template goes between the ref tags and you fill out the fields you wish to. Basic templates can be found here: Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles/Citation quick reference
The first time a reference appears in the article, you can give it a simple name in the <ref> code:
The second time you use the same reference in the article, you need only to create a short cut instead of typing it all out again:
You can then use the short cut as many times as you want. Don't forget the /, or it will blank the rest of the article! A short cut will only pick up from higher up the page, so make sure the first ref is the full one. Some symbols don't work in the ref name, but you'll find out if you use them. You can see multiple use of the same refs in action in the article William Bowyer (artist). There are 3 sources and they are each referenced 3 times. Each statement in the article has a footnote to show what its source is.
The above method is simple and combines references and notes into one section. A refinement is to put the full details of the references in their own section headed "References", while the notes which apply to them appear in a separate section headed "Notes". The notes can be inserted in the main article text in an abbreviated form as seen in Harriet Arbuthnot or in a full form as in Brown Dog affair.

Sign
editAs 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)
Images
editYou 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)
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)
Kubrick Criticism
editDear 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)
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)
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
editThis 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)
Re: Jonathan Douglas Duran
editTwo 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)

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. Vexations (talk) 20:35, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
Nomination of Tony Juliano for deletion
edit
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tony Juliano until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-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 notice from the top of the article.
