Hi Mutley. I know Yomangani didn't create the article, but compare the article as it was before he got his hands on it with it now, and you'll see why I was congratulating him! Jasper33 13:19, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Chbook.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Chbook.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Recurring Dream

Hey mate. Thanks for fixing that. I was going off memory of having read the sleeve about 10 years ago, and somewhere between then and now the memory got sullied. Thanks again. --linca^linca 00:27, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Ch_temple_sleeve.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ch_temple_sleeve.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. BigrTex 15:48, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Finn UKCD.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Finn UKCD.JPG. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:25, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Multi colors.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Multi colors.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Crowded house - ch.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Crowded house - ch.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.

GA Reassessessment of Crowded House

I have conducted a reassessment of the above article as part of the GA Sweeps process. I have found a number of concerns with the article and have delisted it from Good Article status as it no longer meets the criteria nd is likley to need considerable work to regain it. You can see the review at Talk:Crowded House/GA1. If you do not agree with my assessment you may challenge it at WP:GAR. Thanks. Jezhotwells (talk) 16:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Sure thing - it can be re-nominated at WP:GAN, full instructions there. Jezhotwells (talk) 06:09, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

GAR still on hold

Although it was not my original intention when I reviewed the article, I've made numerous edits to it since Nov 20 and other editors have chipped in. I still believe there are remaining issues in getting this article to GA. Consider:

1. Suitable references for cite needed plates subsequently added. Other cites/references required from my GAR.
2. With Something So Strong as a General reference, each use of <ref name="sss"/> should be replaced by a specific page number. I don't have a copy of the book and so cannot supply these.
3. Sound clips still need to be trimmed according to 10% rule. I don't know how to do these.
4. Style (both subsections) close to WP:OR. I would also prefer some songwriting information on Hester for completeness.

I hope you can get it back to GA.shaidar cuebiyar ( talk | contribs ) 04:12, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Note: GA review due to close within one week: if issues not resolved then the GA may be denied.06:53, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Split Enz/Crowded House

Greetings, it's been so long since I made that comment (I really just dropped in to add free image photos to both Split Enz and to Crowded House. Over half (and both band) photos I placed in the articles. Split Enz is a mess, frankly. If you look over the article, it lacks nearly any serious referencing throughout with a great deal of POV comments. The flow is poor, if present at all. I believe I was speaking about how the time periods and sound of Split Enz seem to be mentioned off-hand rather than chronologically. In some areas, the reader is led to think that punk rock influences and Folk music came first; in others, it's new wave music. Look at the section of the "Professor". The statements about his abilities and the "already strong material" are pure POV. We are to remain neutral. You can't just make comments like those and not back them up with references. In addition, to describe the band's music.. what came first? Punk rock, or new wave? And why isn't it easy to understand? It is confusing, to an editor on the Wikipedia! Also, the album covers in the main text do not belong there, and should be removed. Ditto for any sound bites that aren't in the obvious format. I just removed links to You Tube videos from one of the album pages, and a dead link to streaming music which is also a copyright violation. Finally, the actual music clips should be there to show the transition of the band's sound. Yet the order in which they are placed is haphazard; and needs to be in chronological order if they are to stay. OUCH. Frankly, if I was to rate the article, I wouldn't give it more than a C ranking because so very little of the text is supported by references! See what another editor did to demonstrate that fact in the section on Australia. There it is. Good luck! If you change your mind about that particular article, mate-- there's one that gets far more hits, I could use some help with! I hope you see what I'm talking about regarding Split Enz. I had believed the work groups for Crowded House to be defunct-- looks pretty much the same as it did last year. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 23:06, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

File:Ch_temple_sleeve.jpg

I have tagged File:Ch_temple_sleeve.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. Melesse (talk) 04:31, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

New Challenge for Oceania and Australia

Hi, Wikipedia:WikiProject Oceania/The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia/The 5000 Challenge are up and running based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge which has currently produced over 2300 article improvements and creations. The Australia challenge would feed into the wider region one and potentially New Zealand could have a smaller challenge too. The main goal is content improvement, tackling stale old stubs and important content and improving sourcing/making more consistent but new articles are also welcome if sourced. I understand that this is a big goal for regular editors, especially being summertime where you are, but if you'd like to see large scale quality improvements happening for Oceania and Australia like The Africa Destubathon, which has produced over 1700 articles in 5 weeks, sign up on the page. The idea will be an ongoing national editathon/challenge for the region but fuelled by a series of contests to really get articles on every province and subject mass improved. The Africa contest scaled worldwide would naturally provide great benefits to Oceania countries, particularly Australia and attract new editors. I would like some support from existing editors here to get the Challenges off to a start with some articles to make doing a Destubathon worthwhile and potentially bring about hundreds of improvements in a few weeks through a contest! Cheers.♦ --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:12, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
