[edit] Xiaolin Showdown

I don't know if you've read the talk on the episode page or the guidelines of the List of Episodes project, but I feel the new format is an improvement. Known Shen Gong Wu already tracks each Shen Gong Wu, and the episode pages will all mark the exchanges when I'm done with them. Using the list of episodes as a Shen Gong Wu tracker instead of an episode guide is not helpful to people who are not fans of the show already, and I would like to remind you that this is an encyclopedia not a fan site. But please voice your opinion at Talk:List of Xiaolin Showdown episodes so we can build to more of a consensus. Jay32183 17:49, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

If we find it necessary we can remove the pictures, there is actually a template for that already built. There is a posting on the List of Episodes project so people who are unfamiliar with the show may start chiming in and helping out. Ryulong and I are doing are best at getting the episode summaries, if you want to help then do so and if not just give us some polite reminders on ones that are missing and we'll get to them as soon as we can. I do watch edits on the page so I should be able to get to them while I'm not at work. Jay32183 18:06, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Walther p38 l.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Walther p38 l.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Larry Silverstein.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Larry Silverstein.jpg. The image description 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.

Please go to the image 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 '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 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.

[edit] iPod {{title}} vs. {{lowercase}}

Hi there. I have the article iPod on my watchlist, and so I check out changes to many articles. When I checked the diff for your last edit to the iPod article, I found that you changed the type of "incorrect title" template used at the top. Since it seems to me that the Template:Lowercase template is clearer and more appropriate, I'm curious as to why you changed it. I'd like to change it back, but I think it's a good idea to question why you changed it first, since you probably have a good reason for doing so. What is that reason? Thanks, Nihiltres 20:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

P.S.: My reference point.

As above per Nihiltres. Template: Lowercase is clearer. Why did you change it? Tom H 20:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Larry Silverstein.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Larry Silverstein.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Hbdragon88 23:03, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sizingupomi.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sizingupomi.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.

[edit] John Kerry

John Kerry not running for President... there's a lot more constructive things you could be doing on wikipedia... this is fairly common knowledge.--Dr who1975 (talk) 23:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I mean... there's a citation right there in the damn article... try reading. Are you just trying to create more work for people here? Is this vandalism? IT'S RIGHT FRICKING THERE.--Dr who1975 (talk) 23:09, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
