September 2013

[edit]

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. We always appreciate when users upload new images. However, it appears that one or more of the images you have recently uploaded or added to an article, specifically Aaliyah, may fail our non-free image policy. Most often, this involves editors uploading or using a copyrighted image of a living person. For other possible reasons, please read up on our Non-free image criteria. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Dan56 (talk) 20:01, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to upload media files with false or lacking copyright and source information, as you did at Aaliyah, you may be blocked from editing. Please make sure you have read and understood our image use policy before making any further uploads. If you have questions, ask at the copyright question page. Dan56 (talk) 21:48, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon Your addition to Aaliyah has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it!

Your recent editing history at Aaliyah shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 22:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Aaliyah Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 22:12, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was only uploading safe images for Aaliyah's main infobox image. I keep getting shut down when all I'm doing is trying to update her image so it can show Aaliyah at her best as an AALIYAH fan. I think I'm the only one of her fans on here. The images were my own work because I edited them. I did not get them from Google Images. That is why I should be unblocked. Thank You

Decline reason:

Per below. To respond to your response, as you may see by paging through the appropriate articles, we do indeed have plenty of images of popular musicians that have been taken and uploaded under a free license. — Daniel Case (talk) 13:53, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Editing other people's images doesn't make them yours. People tried over and over to tell you to stop uploading, but you continued. Why?—Kww(talk) 05:07, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First, this is ridiculous. How does Wikipedia expect images of FAMOUS artists to be uploaded if all of it is copyrighted. Where am I suppose to get an image of Aaliyah or Michael Jackson from. Yall think I have personal pictures of them on my camera or something. It's not making sense. Most pictures from celebrities are used everywhere, but you are blocking me like a criminal. I'm just an AALIYAH Fan trying to update her profile image. Yall trying to make people feel so bad for uploading images found almost everywhere. Do you have personal pictures of Aaliyah? Where are we suppose to get images from then our personal cameras? Can you update Aaliyah's profile image with a new non copyrighted image then? --Datyger (talk) 08:22, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the image that is Currently being used as Aaliyah's profile image is COPYRIGHTED...because I've seen it in Google Images and on multiple blogs So, how didn't that image get removed...because it's not original,it's a photoshoot image easily found on Google. Explain..... --Datyger (talk) 08:32, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing out the issue with the image currently on the page. Another editor has nominated it for deletion from Commons because it is not a free image. (Commons allows only free images.)
Regarding your question, for a live celebrity, yes, we expect you to take personal pictures of them on your camera. If you take the picture yourself, and you can demonstrate that you took the picture yourself, then you my license it under a suitable free license (Creative Commons, GFDL, or public domain). Then the image can be used by Wikipedia and pretty much anybody else.
There are limited exceptions, but as a general rule, we cannot use non-free images of living people in their articles. The presumption is that, since they're alive, somebody else could take a free image of the person to serve the same purpose. Thus, the non-free image fails our non-free content usage criterial, because a free image to serve the same purpose could be obtained.
With a dead celebrity, we lose the ability to take a new free image, so there is some relaxation of the rules about non-free images. However, the image still has to be attributed to the original creator, marked as a non-free image, and have non-free usage criteria listed for any and every article the image is used in.
Finally, just because the images are found everywhere doesn't mean that other sites are using them properly. We're not responsible for their misuse; we're only responsible to make sure we use them properly. To offer an analogy, just because everybody else is driving 80 in a 55 zone doesn't mean you should drive 80 also. —C.Fred (talk) 16:54, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Ok. I am a new editor so I did not know the extent of copyrighting. After going through all of this being Blocked I now understand. My future edits will not include uploading images, only text and grammar mistakes. Thank You --Datyger (talk) 19:05, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

The terms specified when User:Kww blocked you were "Any admin can unblock this editor when he agrees stop uploading copyrighted images and falsely claiming them as his own." Since you have agreed to that, I have unblocked your account. —C.Fred (talk) 19:45, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You --Datyger (talk) 20:10, 7 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

From the above: "My future edits will not include uploading images, only text and grammar mistakes". Please stick to this and do not place the picture back into the article without attribution in the hope that no-one will notice. Britmax (talk) 08:46, 22 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well if someone uploads an image for her info box it would not be a problem. It's real funny how everyone was ignoring me when I was asking about images for her info box but when I upload an image , everyone wants to get on their jobs. Point is I'm not leaving her info box empty and since you want to talk about what people will notice. Visitors to Aaliyah's page will NOTICE no image which is a problem . Somebody upload a non free image then. Most images used on celeb pages who have died are copyrighted and they don't get deleted . But not for Aaliyah. Upload an image and you won't have to worry about copyrights or whatever !!! Datyger (talk)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Aaliyah may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Platinum status

[edit]

According to this url, Aaliyah's album, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, has only been certified double platinum. Please refrain from changing it back to triple platinum without providing a more reliable source than the RIAA. Thanks! --Yamla (talk) 00:38, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You have been previously blocked for uploading copyrighted image, please don't add the image again. It fails wikipedia copyright laws and if an admin reverts the image, they can be tempted to block you again. Once the bot deletes the image, it doesn't replace it so the article may be without an image for weeks. Non-free images are only useful for articles where there is no other option for an image, Lupita is now a known actress so there will be more picture of her in the future so the NFC rules does not apply to her..--Stemoc (talk) 03:45, 4 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:AaliyahPurple.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:AaliyahPurple.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones  (Talk) 19:48, 8 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Aaliyah (album). Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. Dan56 (talk) 17:08, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is the American release date, not the earliest release date, which is July 7th (in Japan) as cited in Aaliyah (album)#Release history. The earliest known date should only be in the infobox (Template:Infobox album#Released). Dan56 (talk) 17:19, 24 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
