File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Kimmat.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.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 22:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fut.Perf. 22:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Removing tags from articles

edit

Please do not remove tags from articles unless you either fix the problems the tags reference or provide a reason why the tag is not needed (at least in your edit summary but preferably on the talk page). Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 22:51, 7 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Brooke Logan

edit

Hello, I see we're in a conflict about the Brooke Logan article. There are some Wikipedia guidelines that might help us figure out how to proceed with the article. Here's some stuff from the Wikipedia Soap Opera Project:

  1. All soap-related articles, and character articles in particular, must meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines for fiction. Simply stated, "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
  2. The article should not be used for a collection of storyline trivia about the character. As a rule of thumb, only those events which were significant enough to have been written about in third-party sources should be included.
  3. Remember that we are here to create an encyclopedia, not to provide a comprehensive guide to soap opera storylines. Wherever possible, try to discuss the character in "real world" context: Why are they important to non-fans, how are they affecting modern culture, what have they done that is historic in a real-world context. If a detail is only interesting to those who watch the show, it is probably not worth including in the Wikipedia article.
  4. Storyline summary; 500-1000 words maximum
  5. Sources and references. Every article must have verifiable sources such as newspaper and magazine articles that talk about the character, or at the minimum, links to character biography pages on the official website for the series (per policy, fansites are usually considered unreliable). If a character is not notable enough to be mentioned in outside press, then they're not notable enough to have an article on Wikipedia!

And there's more. These guidelines were developed by soap opera fans on Wikipedia over a period of many years that also conform to general Wikipedia policies and guidelines for articles. I know there are a lot of other soap opera articles that violate these guidelines but that just means we have a lot of work to do to clean them all up. If you have any questions or comments you can reach me at my talk page. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 08:43, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hello again, please engage in discussion about this article before adding this same material in again. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 21:32, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Brooke Logan again

edit

Hello again, you're clearly intent on adding this information to the Brooke Logan article so I thought I'd try discussing it with you first. Wikipedia guidelines and the guidelines set up for soap opera articles require sources, a small section for plot, and something to indicate the importance of the character outside of the soap opera itself. So far you're not supplying any of that and are, basically, contradicting Wikipedia and the soap opera project's own guidelines. Please discuss your proposed changes here or on the Brooke Logan talk page before adding all this text again. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 20:49, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Request for participation

edit

Hello, I've started up a discussion about the Brooke Logan article at the soap opera project talk page here. It would be really good if you would participate in that discussion so we can stop this edit war (which will only lead to us getting blocked). SQGibbon (talk) 23:56, 18 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Brooke Logan. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

  1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. I've asked you multiple time to discuss your edits and have pointed out how they violate the policies and guidelines that Wikipedia follows and the soap opera project WP:SOAPS. Before this goes any further please discuss the edits you wish to make and start finding sources for them. SQGibbon (talk) 22:29, 19 April 2011 (UTC)Reply
