Orphaned non-free image (Image:Sliders2.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sliders2.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Peaks2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Peaks2.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.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 00:07, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: "Human"/"human"

I read your post on the human species (and it was a good one), but I should point out that the actual word "human" derives from the Latin "homo," both of which are proper species-designations for humanity, according to taxonomy.

Thus, even though (as you properly point out), "Terran" would be a similarly correct designation, "Human" (capitalized) is also a correct designator, despite mankind hailing from the planet Earth, and is applicable in this situation.

Maybe a compromise -- when phrases like "Minbari-human hybrid" crop up, the capitalized form could be use (as it should be), but we can leave the lowercased version as a standalone elsewhere. What do you think? --The Bandsaw Vigilante 21:45, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for being mature about this; I was half-fearing an argument about it. As for your compromise suggestion, would you be prepared to give me half an hour to look into it in more detail, elsewhere on Wikipedia and the web, before you make any such edits? Many thanks, Liquidfinale 21:51, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right then. It appears that while human is related to homo, it is not directly derived from it. Also, modern taxonomy states that species names are not automatically capitalised, though the genus is (e.g. "Homo sapiens"). Make of this what you will; further reading may be required on both our parts. However, I would not automatically revert a change to Minbari-Human; it at least scans better that way. Best regards, Liquidfinale 22:21, 8 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, sure, that's not a problem at all, really -- it's a very minor point in the grander scheme of things, and I have no issue with taking a "slow-'n-steady" approach to stuff like this, either. When you get right down to it, it's not something that's hugely noticeable by most folks anyway, and I'm pretty much open to whatever you might think would work best overall for the article. --The Bandsaw Vigilante 17:49, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent. And as I say, were you (or someone else) to amend the article accordingly ("Minbari-Human), I would not feel the need to revert it; it matters not in the scheme of things, and probably does look better that way. Many thanks, Liquidfinale 18:09, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Longwalk.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Longwalk.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Punctuation

Hello... first off, thanks for your contributions. One note, though: please keep in mind that when formatting TV and film titles with italics and quotation marks, any associated punctation goes outside of the formatting, even if at the end of a sentence. (For example, we would say:

Johnny likes to watch Babylon Trek, his favourite show. He especially likes the series finale "All Good Things Go Boom".

instead of:

Johnny likes to watch Babylon Trek, his favourite show. He especially likes the series finale "All Good Things Go Boom."

This is as per Wikipedia's style guide. Again, thanks, and please feel free to ask if you have any questions about this. --Ckatz^chat _spy 18:57, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use disputed for Image:Robotech1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Robotech1.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 23:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DVD cover art

Hello. Please be aware that Wikipedia's policy on non-free content does not allow galleries of fair-use images in articles. I've removed the DVD cover images from Sliders because of this. Unless critical commentary is provided on the image (the box art is unusual in some way, for example) then the images cannot be used (see Remington_Steele#DVD_Releases and 21_Jump_Street#DVD_Releases for an example of box art with critical commentary). Thanks. Brad 11:21, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Highlander character edits

Hey there. Saw your additions to the various characters. Might I suggest that you get some input from WikiProject Highlander, so as to better find a consensus before you add a llot of info that most folks are unaware of? I've reverted your additions to this point, and think you should stop until you can get some input. If you need help, just ask. :) - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:19, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
