Bert and Ernie

Watch DavidWBrooks revert your edit. I believe you're absolutely correct, but Jim Henson, probably on advice of his lawyers, denied that Bert and Ernoe have anything to do with Bert and Ernie, even though the coincidences are far too many to be purely coincidence.

Anyway, welcome to Wikipedia!

Image:1975gl1000.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1975gl1000.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. 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}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 20:48, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:1982 GL1100 Aspencade.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. 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 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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Amatterformen.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Amatterformen.JPG. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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. MECU≈talk 22:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Amatterformen.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Amatterformen.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, then 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, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 22:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 22:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Inga Arvad

Here's my response to your post about Inga Arvad on the John F. Kennedy talk page:

It's pretty big, and as interesting as anything could possibly be. Kennedy badly (and understandably: look at her) wanted to marry Inga Arvad but Joe Kennedy scotched it with the transfer because of the Hitler connection (one source of many for that: Seymour Hersh's book The Dark Side of Camelot---Hersh also broke both the My Lai story and Abu Graib). And she was Hitler's escort at the 1936 Munich Games, making it an extremely strong possibility to say the least, and long rumored, that she slept with both Adolf Hitler and John F. Kennedy, making Judith Campbell Exner seem like an inconsequential piker by comparison. To make the whole thing seem even more like a Harold Robbins novel, Arvad later became an MGM screenwriter and Hollywood gossip columnist, and married 1930s movie cowboy star Tim McCoy. Joe Kennedy figured that the spectre of a woman who dated Hitler as America's First Lady was a deal-breaker if there ever was one. Accubam (talk) 01:30, 16 January 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. I am glad to see that you are discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:Honda Gold Wing are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you. Brianhe (talk) 04:16, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Mr. Frump in Alice's Iron Lung Restaurant

Hey Mushrom! I thought I'd drop by and chat about the edits to the "Weird Al" Yankovic page (rather than just revert them like a faceless, souless Wiki-asshole, haha). So, in order to include info about style parodies in articles about Al, we need to have high-quality sources that back up these assertions. Specifically, we need sources that satisfy the requirements at WP:RS, which calls for references to be "reliable" and "published by a reputable party." This includes things like books, journal articles, magazine articles from high-profile publishers, etc. It's unclear if Knowzy is reliable or reputable, since the site you linked doesn't list an author. And while the site claims it has an editorial board, there are no names listed, nor are any sources cited. (For what it's worth, I do believe Al was pulling from Arlo Guthrie, but I am honor-bound by Wikipedia's rules. :P)--Gen. Quon (Talk) 14:54, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
