Sandra Pupatello

Dear Vytal, I noticed you reverted the changes I made to the above article. Let me explain those changes to you, so you understand why they were made. First, the external links section needs to be below the references section, as per the Wikipedia manual of style. Second, since none of the references have any external links, their read-ability is improved by having a two column reflist, and using the {{reflist}} is preferable to the old <div class="references-small">. The effect is exactly the same, but it uses the Wikipedia template to format references. The Template:FootnotesSmall has been proposed to be merged into {{reflist}}, because reflist offers more flexibility. I would urge you to make those changes, as they are proper, and helpful. Thanks, ^Ariel♥Gold 14:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Oldaker

The article Jamie Oldaker has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki 01:54, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Santana

This sentence does not make sense:

"Interestingly, Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green, composer of "Black Magic Woman", was inducted the same night where he performed with Santana on the song."

"Where" causes a fragment. What does "where" reference in the sentence? ~ IP4240207xx 02:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote the sentence. Vytal

Julia Moulden

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Julia Moulden, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Julia Moulden. brew crewer (yada, yada) 04:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

Hi there. I just noticed that you changed the Roxy Music article from is to are. There seems to be a lot of debate about this lately, but I've always considered it are (as in Roxy Music are). The rule is 'he is' and 'they are' - and I consider a group to be more than one person. However, other people say a group is singular (a group is an it). With this in mind it seems understandable to say Roxy Music is - but I still prefer are! By this stage I'm completely confused - despite English being my best subject in school! Do you know which is correct (or can they both be used?) ? Thanks.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 20:22, 25 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi: The rules for collective nouns are different in the UK than in the US. British grammar dictates the use of a plural verb. Because Roxy Music are/were a British act, UK rules apply. Likewise, if one were to refer to an American band, the singular would apply, as in "R.E.M. is home now from the world tour". Cheers. Vytal (talk) 14:22, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that. I can see where the confusion comes from then, but also a relief to know I was right. Thanks again.--Tuzapicabit (talk) 14:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:Juliamoulden1.JPG

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Juliamoulden1.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, 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, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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 created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged files may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the file will be deleted 48 hours after 05:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Image Screening Bot (talk) 05:28, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Juliamoulden.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Juliamoulden.jpg. 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 "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. 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.

File source problem with File:Juliamoulden.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Juliamoulden.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Salavat (talk) 06:22, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

David Kershenbaum

Hi I see you are willing to cross swords with User:Natkersh again and revert his edits to this article. Did you have a chance to read my comments on the article's talk page? I am convinced that there is a conflict of interest between author and subject AS WELL as the user being an SPA for this article. If your edits are reverted again, I ask that you appeal for the page to be locked. Eddie.willers (talk) 17:32, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the supportive response to the latest complaint by User:Natkersh. Can we take this to arbitration, do you think? Eddie.willers (talk) 12:55, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, I see that the page has been reverted again. I have filed an Editorial Assistance request to see what may be done. Clearly, User:Natkersh shows little understanding of the way Wikipedia is supposed to work. Eddie.willers (talk) 00:32, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

=TO EDDIE.WILLERS and the other names he/she is using

Please stop this edit-war, it seems like you have a strong desire to change this page, assuring us that you are improving the page, however, in fact, making it look unprofessional. From simple spelling mistakes and etc, to the style of your writing... is not an "edit" like. Professional "editors" would not present the information the way you are trying to. I strongly suspect a personal conflict of interest from your side, assuming that you know the target of your attacks personally and that forces you to keep coming back to the page over and over and making that page look unprofessional through your continuous non-stop reversions. It is called an edit-war and it is not acceptable. Please find a place for your personal satisfaction anywhere other than DK's wikipage. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Natkersh (talk • contribs) 06:08, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Monro

I agree that the claim you have recently moved from the Matt Monro page, regarding 100m record sales in his lifetime, needs a citation and has been waiting for one for a long time but I just thought you should know that Monro certainly did have No 1s - "Born Free", an Oscar winning one, being among them - and that for reasons I do not understand he was and remains massively popular in the Phillipines (something to do with their cultural love of ballad songs, according to a recent BBC documentary, which seemed to suggest he was still the biggest seller there even though dead for many years). Where did you check the info for No 1s ? Sitush (talk) 06:50, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, we've got crossed wires here. I am aware that Michelle Monro appears for a long time to have been carving quite a career off her father's back (as is her brother, Matt, whose WP page resembled an advert until I cut it right back recently). I realise that she is an unreliable source. But my question to you was where you determined that he had not in fact had any No 1s, anywhere. Following on from that, is it not possible that an artist could accumulate massive figures by consistent appearances in, say, the top 5 ?

I don't dispute that the claim needed removing under WP:Verify, but the comment you attached to it seems surprising. Sitush (talk) 07:15, 18 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for File:Book Cover V2.jpeg

Thanks for uploading File:Book Cover V2.jpeg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 16:06, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for File:Book Cover V2.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Book Cover V2.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 '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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 08:04, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Julia moulden.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Julia moulden.jpg, which you've attributed to Paul Orenstein. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy.
