Hi,

Don't understand the removal of my "duplicate link" on the [Platinum Weird] page, when the only reference to it was not a link. Also: it was in the "External Links" section, which is handy on every Wikipedia page - surely it makes sense to have the link there? User:allgigs

Hi Cheesemaster,

I am afraid you have interesting yet wrong evidence on Erin Grace. Erin Grace is a real person. She is still alive today but has no contact with the the limelight after running away from the group in 1974. There are many pages and sites about platniumwierd and has information on her. --Liberalsrule155 23:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yet Clare’s sharp questions must I shun;
Must separate Constance from the Nun—
O, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive!
A Palmer too!—no wonder why
I felt rebuked beneath his eye:
I might have known there was but one,
Whose look could quell Lord Marmion.

FYI: I have put the Platinum pages and artists on watch as well

edit

I think this story is pretty disgusting and I consider it deception and bordering on fraudelent behavior. I actually like Dave Stewart during the Eurythmics period. I guess it was a big mistake. Anyway I noticed that there were quite a number of suspect edits and given the bogus fan sites, there is reason to assume that those edits are not independent. If you need help or are in an edit war, please let me know, because they have already spammed the search engines with the bogus domains and there are big companies behind this campaign of deception.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Platinum Weird album cover.jpg)

edit

  Thanks for uploading Image:Platinum Weird album cover.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) 04:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:DioGuardi-Stewart-brickwall.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? BigrTex 00:07, 26 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Platinum Weird OneStep.png

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Platinum Weird OneStep.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 11:55, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
