Orphaned non-free image (File:TPain featuring Kanye West-Buy U A Drank 2.jpg)

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:TPain featuring Kanye West-Buy U A Drank 2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. J Milburn (talk) 20:37, 29 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for File:Bow Wow-New Jack City II.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bow Wow-New Jack City II.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lәo(βǃʘʘɱ) 22:50, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:New Jack City 2 Wal Mart.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:New Jack City 2 Wal Mart.jpg. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NW (Talk) 18:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Michael Jackson. 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 a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Dr.K. logos 23:20, 13 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Your recent addition to Michael Jackson has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Absolute Greatness

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Absolute Greatness requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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.

  Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting it into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other articles that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. — Σxplicit 18:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Fabo (D4L)

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Fabo (D4L), and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Fabo. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally moving or duplicating content, please be sure you have followed the procedure at Wikipedia:Splitting by acknowledging the duplication of material in edit summary to preserve attribution history.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 16:10, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to the page Fabo has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Bow Wow (rapper)

edit

A word of advice; in the future, this type of change should be done with the "Move" function, as it would have easily retained the history and talk page of the original article. Since you had already made the changes on the original article, I went ahead and moved the Talk page to the new article page so that it wouldn't be lost. --mhking (talk) 21:19, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Cut and paste moves are not acceptable. They violate the GFDL. If you want to move a page to a new location please discuss it on the talk page first. JBsupreme (talk) 23:02, 9 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Non-free use of File:KOBE-Lil Wayne.JPG

edit

Thank you for uploading File:KOBE-Lil Wayne.JPG. However, there is a concern that the use of the image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. Details of this problem, and which specific criteria that the image may not meet, can be obtained by going to the image description page. If you feel that this image does meet those criteria, please place a note on the image description or talk page explaining why. Do not remove the {{di-fails NFCC}} tag itself.

An administrator will review this file within a few days, and having considered the opinions placed on the image page, may delete it in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion or remove the tag entirely. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 06:50, 14 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Useless redirects

edit

Please stop creating redirect pages such as Delirious (Vistoso Bosses song)Vistoso Bosses. Unless you realistically expect readers to type "Delirious (Vistoso Bosses song)" into the search-box, it serves no technical or usability purpose (and would therefore be deletable under WP:CSD#R3). Further, adding a link to Delirious (Vistoso Bosses song) to the Delirious page is doubly useless, since that just redirects the reader back to the same page...why fool the reader into thinking there will be more content via that link?

2009 MTV Video Music Awards controversy

edit

There is no reason that this controversy should have its own article. Yes, it received substantial media coverage, but the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards article covers it nicely, and keeps it from being too much of an attack page on Kanye West. Other MTV Video Music Awards controversies do not have their own articles, and neither should this one. Reducing the section on this incident in the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards article, which I mostly wrote, and then using the material that was there to create an article is certianly not needed...and I certainly do not appreciate having a significant portion of material I wrote used to start a new article as though it is someone's else work (in this case, yours). But oh well. You should have at least checked the Taylor Swift and Kanye West articles to do something about their articles pointing to the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards article about this controversy. With the way you had it, we were directing readers to that article and then again to the article you created.

I have redirected this article. If you overturn that, I am letting you know now that I will put this article up for deletion, on the grounds that it really is not needed and can be covered in the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards article. Flyer22 (talk) 23:05, 26 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Miss Me Kiss Me

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 Miss Me Kiss Me requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a musical recording which does not indicate why its subject is important or significant, and where the artist's article does not exist or is eligible for deletion itself. 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for music.

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. ♠PMC(talk) 17:50, 23 November 2018 (UTC)Reply
