Fair use rationale for File:Beamingin.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Beamingin.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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? feydey (talk) 09:03, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Stress Factory

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on The Stress Factory requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RichardLowther (talk) 10:09, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists)

The article Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This article does not meet the general notability guidelines - for inclusion, an article requires significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. The only source here is a primary source, hence the article is not verifiable.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Chzz  ►  04:30, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:NationalLampoonMagazineAugust1970.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:NationalLampoonMagazineAugust1970.jpg. 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.

Chris Rush

Hi, Fred1296. I know you haven't been with us long, and I would like to join User:BuickCenturyDriver in welcoming you. I do need to point out that your edits to Chris Rush violate a number of Wikipedia policies, as I noted, with bluelinks, in my edit summary. In particular, the tone and language were blurby, conversational, and promotional. As I noted on the the talk page for the article, it's important to read The Five Pillars of Wikipedia and the policies bluelinked in the edit summary before editing this article. Anyone can edit Wikipedia, but everyone has the responsibility to follow Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Please also note the policy at WP:COI. Thank you, -- Tenebrae (talk) 21:49, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I've also noticed that you've unilaterally removed deletion-proposal tags from articles you've created. It is not proper Wikipedia procedure to do so. It is important to let the collaborative process play out, and we certainly do not remove other editors' tags without discussion with those editors. I note also that you seem to be a Single-purpose account (SPA), and are creating articles that appear to be promotional in nature. Please do not remove tags; rather, contribute to discussions where the tags point, and speak with/collaborate with other editors.

I ask this in good faith, though please be aware that an admin can be called in for repeated violations of policy. -- Tenebrae (talk) 21:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

I believe strongly that User:Tenebrae is wrong about removing proposed deletion (prod) tags unilaterally. You can and should remove any prod tags you see that you disagree with, even on articles you create yourself. The purpose of proposed deletion is to delete articles where no one would object to the deletion and a discussion is not necessary. The mere fact that you disagreed with the proposed deletion means that the article is no longer a suitable candidate for proposed deletion, as proposed deletion is intended to be used when it is expected that no one will disagree. In the future, if someone adds a prod tag back to an article once you have removed it, please feel free to remove the prod tag again and point that person to WP:PROD#Objecting, which explains that prod tags should not be restored once they are removed.

That being said, it is encouraged (but not required) that you also address any concerns listed in the proposed deletion tag when you remove it. If you do not address the concerns listed in the prod tag, the user who originally placed the prod tag on the article is likely to nominate the article for deletion at WP:Articles for Deletion, and it may still be deleted after a discussion. Calathan (talk) 21:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Adding Chris Rush

Fred1296, I notice that most of your wikipedia output involves the promotion of comedian Chris Rush. That's fine, but please understand our concept of notability. Just because Mr. Rush is influenced by major comedians like Bob Newhart and George Carlin does not mean he should be mentioned in their article. If you'll notice the other inhabitants of the infobox, you'll see they're all major, well-known, influential comedians. Rush doesn't fall into that category. The infobox isn't meant to be a complete list of related artists, just a quick mention of the major ones.

I also need to warn you about WP:3RR, which is wikipedia's policy on the three-revert rule. Please read this page, because you're already over that limit on the George Carlin page. I encourage you to stop edit warring on the page, and instead go to the talk page to discuss it with other editors. That way, consensus can be gained on whether or not the information should be added.

If you have any questions, feel free to leave them here on your page and I'll try and help. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 07:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Edit warring

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on George Carlin. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. Please stop the disruption, otherwise you may be blocked from editing. chaser (talk) 07:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Last warning

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines.

Articles for deletion nomination of Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists)

I have nominated Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:50, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

3RR block

I have blocked your account for 24 hours for edit-warring on George Carlin. You may appeal by following the instructions at Wikipedia:Appealing a block. Please stop edit-warring and discuss the dispute on the talk page when your block has expired.--chaser (talk) 02:40, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

November 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Milking The Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

Chris Rush album redirects

Dear Chris Rush Tony159 Fred1296, I am redirecting each of the Chris Rush album articles per WP:NALBUM, since they do not meet the general notability guideline. I suggest you add the content to Chris Rush instead. I hope this explains what I am doing and why. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:12, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to second the above comment, the articles are bare bones and don't sufficiently express notability. If you disagree, please add more to the articles rather than just reverting. Good luck! Dayewalker (talk) 00:12, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

In hopes of heading off an edit war, I've opened a discussion on ANI about the Chris Rush albums here [1]. Please feel free to comment. Thanks! Dayewalker (talk) 01:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

File:Milkingtherhino.jpg

I have tagged File:Milkingtherhino.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 07:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Milking the Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists)

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 Milking the Rhino (Dangerously Funny Lists), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, such as at Articles for deletion. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.
