AfD nomination of Music of Eastern Europe

[edit]

I have nominated Music of Eastern Europe, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Music of Eastern Europe. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?  – iridescent 22:07, 1 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:ZZTopAfterburner.jpg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:ZZTopAfterburner.jpg. 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) 05:51, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Timeline of music in the United States (1920 - 1949)

[edit]

Hi, on Timeline of music in the United States (1920 - 1949) I have mended most of the broken references (some had ]] closing a template when they should have had }}, and some had }}}} at the end of a template when they should have had }}) but there is one that I could not fix - it is a refname with no matching reference text.

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:RubberSoulUK.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading Image:RubberSoulUK.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia 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 under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:06, 8 September 2008 (UTC) [reply]

D&D articles for Wikipedia 0.7

[edit]

Hi there!  :)

As someone who's worked on D&D and/or RPG articles before, I'm inviting you to participate in our goal to both improve articles that have been selected to be placed in the next Wikipedia DVD release, as well as nominate more to be selected for this project. Please see the WikiProject D&D talk page for more details. :) BOZ (talk) 19:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Captain Rapp

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Captain Rapp requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. —Hello, Control Hello, Tony 17:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A new FL contest

[edit]

Wikipedia's epic FL directors Matthewedwards and Scorpion0422 have decided to try another FL contest as a follow up to the one held last June. As you entered the first contest, you may be interested in taking a look at the new one, which will have different rules. Although they are still being fiddled with, three FLs in different topics will be required this time around. For more information, see here. A start date has not yet been determined, but it will likely begin some time within the next week or so. Thanks for the time, Scorpion0422 15:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:RedLetterDay.ogg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

No content in Category:Reggaeton

[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Reggaeton, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Reggaeton has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Reggaeton, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

I'm impressed + Category:History of music

[edit]

I've just recently noticed your work on the timelines of American music. These really look well researched and nicely put together. Good stuff.

Last night I started an overhaul of Category:Music history. I kind of jumped in and got a bit ahead myself. I realize now that I probably should have run a few ideas by you first before launching in with both barrels blazing. This note is a belated heads up. ( I gather from your history that you are one of Wikipedia's primary editors on the subject of music in general, is that right? I've also noticed User:Hyacinth is also heavily in music. Is there anyone else I should be aware of?)

My basic goal is to try to link the whole topic together a little tighter so that a reader can navigate through the entire subject. The subject lends itself to a nice tidy category hierarchy (for example, by year, by region and by genre). Eventually, I'd like see more of the top level articles (starting with History of music) organized into a WP:Summary style hierarchy that reaches down to most of the articles on the topic. That's the idea, anyway.

Anyway, I hope my edits haven't been so WP:BOLD that they are annoying or disorienting. I've only touched the category hierarchy. Thanks for your patience. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 19:09, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Courtesy notice

This courtesy notice is being offered on your talk page as you have been active in music related discussions in the past.

Soundvisions1 (talk) 17:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Minnesota Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Festival, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Probably could be speedy deleted under A7 (no assertion of notability), but better to give an opportunity for improvement/discussion.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. cmadler (talk) 18:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re-evaluation of bureaucrat status

[edit]

Hi there! I'm posting to inform you of an ongoing discussion at Wikipedia talk:Bureaucrat removal, which is of relevance to you as an en.wiki bureaucrat. The discussion centres around whether bureaucrat status should be considered a 'lifetime' appointment like administrators, or whether bureaucrats should be subject to periodic reconfirmation in a manner more like the stewards. There is also consideration for a separate re-evaluation of the status of those bureaucrats who were promoted in the early days of wikipedia, when the standards at RfB were significantly lower than they are currently, and whether such users still retain the explicit trust of the community.

As an "inactive bureaucrat" (one who has not performed a 'crat action in the past year), we're particularly keen to hear your thoughts on these issues; in particular the following:

  • Do you consider yourself to still be a wikipedia bureaucrat in spirit, or is the flag essentially just a legacy? Do you have any intention of ever returning to being an 'active' bureaucrat?
  • What do you consider your position to be in terms of your 'mandate' from the community, in comparison to more recently-promoted bureaucrats?
  • Would you be amenable to surrendering the bureaucrat flag, or participating in a reconfirmation RfB, if asked to do so? In what circumstances would you consider such an action?

Your thoughts on these, and any other comments you may have, would be very much appreciated. We have set up a section on the discussion page, Wikipedia talk:Bureaucrat removal#'Crat comments, for such responses.

Many thanks in advance, Happymelon 23:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Pakatak

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Pakatak requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for musical topics.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. لennavecia 16:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Find sources for List_of_R&B_musicians: google news recent, google news old, google books, google scholar, NYT recent, NYT old, a9, msbooks, msacademic ...You can then cite these results in the Article for deletion discussion.

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:

1. List the page on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
2. At any time, you can ask any administrator to move your article to a special page. (Called userfication)
3. You can request a mentor to help you: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.
4. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. These acronyms don't need to intimidate you. Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: Deletion debate acronyms, which will help you argue that the article should be kept.


If your page is deleted, you also have many options available. Good luck! Ikip (talk) 15:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of List of R&B musicians

Hornbostel-Sachs Musicals Instrument Classification

[edit]

I see you've put in a lot of work in the section on Chordophones. I'm proposing to make all related pages in the same style. I'm basing my approach a bit on the German pages on this subject. I hope you don't mind. Ninehouse (talk) 23:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Template:Britishmusic

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Template:Britishmusic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).

Thanks. Sabrebd (talk) 23:26, 28 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:JurassFinishFirst.ogg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:JurassFinishFirst.ogg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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 non-free media 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 23:44, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Better source request for File:Olivisalati.ogg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Olivisalati.ogg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily.

Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talk page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:45, 12 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:ShinaPetersOmoEniyan,LoSora.ogg)

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:ShinaPetersOmoEniyan,LoSora.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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Hi TUF-KAT. Maybe since you've read up on this subject a bit, and can offer some pointers. I've been talking with someone at the Jazz Bridge project who is very interested in putting something up from the oral histories of Philly jazz musicians, maybe on Wikibooks. I've also had some discussions with someone from the Philadelphia Folksong Society. Any suggestions?--Pharos (talk) 14:25, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
