[edit] License tagging for Image:Amd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Amd.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.

However, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that biographical information about living persons must not be libelous.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Needleconan.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Needleconan.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) 19:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vote for a post-meetup restaurant

I'm charged with making the reservations for us, so let's make it official. We'll do this via voting and everyone including anonymous voters, sockpuppets, and canvassed supporters is enfranchised. Voting irregularities and election fraud are encouraged as that would be really amusing in this instance. Please vote for whichever restaurant you would like to eat at given the information provided above and your own personal prejudices at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC#Let's make it official. The prevailing restaurant will be called first for the reservation. If a reservation cannot be obtained at the winning restaurant, the runner-up restaurant will be called thus making this entire process pointless. Voting ends 24 hours after this timestamp (because I said so). ScienceApologist (talk) 17:19, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Greenlee Smythe

Hello, Wlmg. This link...[1]...in the Greenlee Smythe article isn't a vandalism reference. It's a book that documents Greenlee's role as a villainess, not just homosexuality on All My Children. Thus I've returned that reference. Flyer22 (talk) 18:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

The other reference you removed wasn't a vandalism reference either, but I may replace that one with another reference in that article that provides the same information. Flyer22 (talk) 18:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Here. Flyer22 (talk) 18:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
I suppose I don't have to tell you to keep checking my talk page for further discussion of this. Flyer22 (talk) 19:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Unsourced content

Please don't add unsourced content about living persons to Wikipedia articles. I have reverted your additions to Jenna Bush and DeSisto School because your additions were unsourced and unverifiable. --Orlady (talk) 21:18, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I have sent an email to FOX to verify the content about Jenna Bush. As for the TDS alums, they all went there and there's no two ways about that. Wlmg (talk) 22:03, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Needleconan.JPG

Thank you for uploading Image:Needleconan.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) 15:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yosef Ben-Jochannan

Hello Wlmg:

I noticed your revert on the article Yosef Ben-Jochannan where you changed 'formally educated' back to 'claims to have been educated'.

I'm posting here because I'm interested to learn more about this unusual article.

I'm curious how large a credibility gap Yosef Ben-Jochannan has developed to have the article say 'claims to have been educated' and 'claims to be the son of'.

It seems to me there is sort of a double requirement for sources in order to say someone "claims to be ABC". A source to verify that the person has made the claim and also a source that casts serious doubt on the claim. If someone claims to be ABC and there is nothing that throws doubt on that claim, the normal wording would be (I think) that "they are ABC", not that "they claim to be ABC". (Ie, assuming good faith unless there is contradicting evidence.)

The reference says he misrepresents himself as an Egyptologist. Nothing about his ethnic heritage.

As I say, I'm curious about this.

Any light you can throw on the matter would be appreciated.

[edit] Greenlee's Picture

The reason I change the picture to the promo shot since other soaps are moving toward these types of picture. One reason is because they are having clearer, more descriptive, higher resolution instead of lower quality screenshots. Most pages are being like this , such as The Young and the Restless (i.e. Heather Stevens and Sharon Abbott), The Bold and the Beautiful (i.e. Bridget Forrester, Donna Forrester), Days of our Lives (i.e. E.J. DiMera and Max Brady), and some on All My Children (i.e. Kendall Hart, and Krystal Carey). Candyo32 (talk) 23:12, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I see that the picture from the ABC site has Rebecca Budig's name in large type, and Greenlee Smythe is in a much smaller font. Imho it does not illustrate the character Greenlee per se. There are other pics from the source that have Greenlee working at Fusion. That would be an unequivocal picture of Greenlee the same as a screen shot is. Fair use wikipedia pics are supposed to be low-res, so a high-res pic of Budig or Greenlee is a violation of wikipedia policy. Wlmg (talk) 03:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Candyo32, that's still a promotional shot, no matter whether it's more so of Greenlee or Rebecca. I don't have a problem with you using promotional headshots for the main picture, but Wlmg has a point about which rationale, promotional or screenshots, is the strongest.
Oh, and I agree that there has got to be a better promotional headshot of Greenlee than that. It does not have to be from 2008 either. She still looks the same from however long she's been on this show. Until that "right" promotional headshot is found, the screenshot that is there now should remain.
