[edit] Help with the maximum bob (singer) article

{{help}} i need to find sources about the musical and performance style of maximum bob of the deli creeps. the link to the article is below. ps. why use those arow thingies to keep things hidden on the page? just dont write it. or do. thanks

User:Ritzbitz00/Maximum Bob (singer)

The arrows (<!-- -->) are used for hidden messages, or to keep a section lacking verification from sight until proper sources can be found. It is easier this way, in that someone who wants to re-add the section removed does not have to copy and paste it from the page history, but simply remove the arrows, and add citations. What specifically do you need help with regarding sources for the article? Glad to help, --Mizu onna sango15/水女珊瑚15 21:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC).

The section about musical and performance style. i need some sort of verification. does live footage count?

[edit] undeleting the Maximum Bob article

About Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2008_May_22#Maximum_Bob_.28singer.29, you should go there and explain exactly which is the new information that is available so other editors can review it. Otherwise, your request will just be rejected because of lack of new information. --Enric Naval (talk) 13:50, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

The artcile has been restored to User:Ritzbitz00/Maximum Bob (singer). It has has the whole history and can still be accessed and edited by you and anyone, but as not being part of regular wikipedia it won't be speedily deleted, but can be improved and evaluated without hurry. If it addresses the problems of the deletion discussion, it can be moved back to Maximum Bob (singer). Otherwise it needs to be deleted once more. Please check above links for more help on editing and also consider putting {{helpme}} on this page to ask for assistance.--Tikiwont (talk) 08:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Bendup.ogg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Bendup.ogg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 01:10, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why BJBot is doing that

As I explained over at WP:ANI, the reason BJBot is doing that is because non-free content is prohibited outside of article space -- and since you are creating a draft article in user space, it is removing the images and sounds. So that's what's going on with that. Cheers, and happy-wiking! --Jaysweet (talk) 19:55, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know about the audio vs. images thing, as I've never uploaded audio. You'd have to ask someone else.

Let me try to explain again about why it is being deleted: Non-free content is prohibited anywhere except for in actual articles. For instance, I can not put a non-free image on my user page, even if that image has fair use rationale. The reason is because Wikipedia does not believe fair use can apply anywhere other than in articles, i.e. there would be no "fair use" justification for me using a copyrighted image to decorate my User page.

Okay, so you are working on a draft of an article. But since the name starts with "User:Ritzbitz00/...", it is being created in User space. So, as far as BJBot can tell, it is not an article (and technically it's not, even though you intend it to be one at some point).

I am not sure what the right solution is for you. You could wait to add the actually sounds and images until you move it into article space, perhaps? --Jaysweet (talk) 20:19, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, I got this tip for you at WP:ANI:

When drafting or storing an article in user space, one can use nowiki like this: <nowiki>whatever should not be in user space, like categories</nowiki>. WAS 4.250 (talk) 21:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

So, even though you won't be able to preview it, if you put "nowiki" tags around your images and sounds, BJBot won't mess with them. Cheers! --Jaysweet (talk) 00:03, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
