Black v. African-American

I've seen no source saying the hecklers were from Africa. Black people is a more appropriate link. BabuBhatt 22:55, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

An African-American doesn't have to be from Africa to be that. They have to have African roots and be American. Black implies African roots as well. Black would only be approporate since we don't know if they are from America. Mick65 01:22, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Edit Summaries

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labeled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

Filling in the edit summary field greatly helps your fellow contributors in understanding what you changed, so please always fill in the edit summary field, especially for big edits or when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. Wikipediarules2221 02:33, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Plenty of published sources, including the original on TMZ, do not censor the content. We're not quoting Washington Post, we're quoting the original source material. Jokestress 22:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

WP:XXXXXXX

Not quite certain what you were quoting here, care to clarify? *Spark* 19:14, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, read it again, if a free image can replace a copyrighted one, it goes. Find a pic of the band. *Spark* 19:27, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Read the image guidelines. They've gotten more strict. If you can find policy supporting your use of the image there, do so. Otherwise a free image or publicity photo should be easy enough to find. You've made 3 reverts. See WP:3RR. *Spark* 19:32, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

You should learn to check user logs. My first edit was just that, an edit. Since I've given you notice of 3RR, and you know enough about it to claim I've 3RR'ed (even though I haven't) I'm asking you to self revert your last change or I will submit a vandalism report. Thanks. *Spark* 19:41, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock|I feel that the user who requested me to be blocked also violated the 3RR rule. I have no interest in pursuing any revert war on the page [[Tesla (band)]] and have made only positive contributions to Wikipedia for a year and a half. I have read the discussion at the block page and it seems the whole fair use matter of this particular use of an album cover is still under discussion.}}

Your account or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Musical Linguist for the following reason (see our blocking policy): 3RR violation at Tesla (band)

Your IP address is 209.213.218.7.

Comment: As I stated above, I didn't violate 3RR. Note I gave you a link to Template:Albumcover, and if you reviewed it and Template_talk:Albumcover#Fair_use_rationale_needs_changing, it clearly states there is no consensus for using an album cover for anything other than illustrating the album. In other words, it's ok to use it in the album article or another article mentioning the album directly, but in a musical artist template it isn't appropriate. "Five Man Acoustical Jam" isn't even discussed in the article, only linked at the bottom. *Spark* 21:04, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

3RR block

You have been blocked for 24 hours for your violation of the three-revert rule at Tesla (band). When you come back, please use the talk page if you disagree with another user's edits. Also, please use edit summaries. Thanks. AnnH ♫ 21:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I've removed four unblock templates from your page. One is quite enough. As you can see, if you look at the bottom of your page, it adds your page to the category Requests for unblock. Som administrators look at that category pretty regularly, so I'm sure someone will look at it before the 24 hours are up. Having more unblock templates on your page does not increase the likelihood of someone checking the unblock page, and may indeed just cause irritation. I haven't checked WP:AIV today. Sometimes I check it several times an hour; sometimtes I don't check it at all. Anyway, admins rarely unblock 3RR cases, so they're more likely to tell you just to stick it out. Your page is still in the requests for unblock category, so please don't keep adding more templates. It won't do anything to help your cause. AnnH ♫ 21:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The reason I blocked you is that you made a fourth revert after being warned that you had made three, and you rejected the chance to self-revert which was offered to you. The issue of possible misuse of fair use policy is so serious that if a user feels the policy is being incorrectly applied, he must at least discuss it. Yet you continued to reinsert the image without discussion on the talk page, and without even using edit summaries. I have received your e-mail, and might consider shortening your block, as a gesture of good will, if I'm satisfied that you'll stop reinserting fair use images without discussion. Even with discussion, you're on very shaky grounds, as Jimbo wants the Fair Use policy to be very strictly enforced. AnnH ♫ 21:29, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I have no interest in a revert war at Tesla (band) and in addition, I do not wish to insert images anywhere, fair use or otherwise. What will it take to satisfy you of this so that you may remove this block? BabuBhatt 21:42, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I'll unblock. AnnH ♫ 21:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for ensuring this will happen. BabuBhatt 21:50, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I've unblocked you and have checked that any autoblocks are cleared as well. You should be able to edit now. Let me know if you have any problems. AnnH ♫ 22:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

• I've replaced the image in question with the band's logo. This creates a tolerable fair use situation and one that is not debatable. The band's logo is clearly appropriate for the band's article. In concur with Ann; in the future use the talk page of the article to discuss things rather than engaging in a revert war, even if you are absolutely certain you are correct. --Durin 22:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
