Prematurely deceased entertainer categories
Hi. FYI, folks are trying again to delete the prematurely deceased entertainer categories at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 January 17#Entertainers who died.... I noticed you voted to save them in the past and thought you might want to know. :) —Wknight94 (talk) 00:14, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi. I'm afraid I really don't like the idea of canvassing for votes on people's talk pages, it seems to be clogging the deletion process up. --Sachabrunel 15:57, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for the cleanup on Prague. I also answered your question on Talk:Franz Kafka. Pavel Vozenilek 00:57, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
Britpop
Hi, I see you're working on the Britpop articles. I've left a comment on the list deletion page (agreeing with you). Rgarding Robbie Williams' inclusion on the list, I did consider removing him but on balance I felt he probably belonged. I know he was the dancer from Take That and all that, but he did ride the wave of Britpop. I don't care for the fella myself but he's a stronger keep than ludicruous inclusions such as Neds Atomic Dustbin! What do you think? --kingboyk 20:37, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
I am affraid Jarvis Cocker explained in Live Forever documentary that he as most of the Britpop peers were taking cocaine like a cup of tee. I think that all famous bands during this time took much drugs, including Blur, Oasis and Pulp, so I certainly don't know why the hell not tell it, that Jarvis was having problems with drugs, which is obviously true. Painbearer 23:23, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
No edits for a while? I hope you'll be back soon. Just popped by to say good work on the Britpop list. --kingboyk 17:59, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
CfD for Category:Films by author
I am posting this message to all participants so far in the 2007 April 22 CfD for Category:Films_by_author, because there appears to be a consensus to keep this category, and also to standardise the naming format. However there is so far no consensus on what format should be used for the standardisation. I have no opinion on any of this myself, but have suggested that this CfD be left open a little longer for discussion of the renaming, and you may wish to revisit the CfD to clarify your preferences ... otherwise I think it is likely that we will likely have anoter CfD on the same categories, which seems like avoidable duplication of effort. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 12:58, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Image:Makeup.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Makeup.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 that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image description page and edit it to add
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template. - 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, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, 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. 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. Durin 14:46, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:Micaelfoster.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Micaelfoster.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. 15:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The Make-Up pages
As pretty much the only consistent editor to The Make-Up, I thought you might like to know that The Make-Up and The Make-Up discography are both Featured Article/Featured list candidates. The nom pages can be found here and here. I'm having some difficulties getting people to look at the articles and give suggestions/vote, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. If you could spend a few minutes to look them over and perhaps give a vote one way or the other I'd appreciate it. Thanks! Drewcifer 00:36, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Micaelfoster.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Micaelfoster.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 10:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey
I realised we're probably going to end up in some revert war over the Klaxons discography issue, so I thought I would come talk to you about it. I have an issue with "new version", as the song is still essentially the same instrumentation and lyrics. Would you be happy with the use of "re-recorded", if we then sourced with the other two which you pointed out? Thanks for getting involved. --SteelersFanUK06 HereWeGo2010! 03:28, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
- Haha, thanks very much! I'll source everything and make sure it's accurate. Happy New Year to you too! SteelersFanUK06 AFCNorth2k10 22:36, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Twin Sister
![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Twin Sister 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Armbrust Talk Contribs 01:12, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

What's going on with that
What's going on with the Holocaust deaths by occupation categories is that I nominated them for deletion based on the trivial nature of the intersection between a person's occupation and "died in the Holocaust" was a trivial intersection because none of the people were killed because of their occupation. Several editors who rarely if ever edit outside Judaism-related articles decided that deleting these categories was somehow about Judaism and made arguments about how they document anti-Semitism or the impact of the Holocaust on the arts in Europe and what-not. Not a shred of evidence was given that the occupation of any of these people was a factor in their deaths but the issue was obscured sufficiently to allow the closing admin enough cover to close them as "keep".

Hi there Bienfuxia. I really like the graph that you uploaded to Commons displaying the number of #1s on the UK Singles Chart since 1953. I'm quite keen to see if I can get List of UK Singles Chart number ones to featured list status, and your image certainly would improve the article. I was just wondering, what source did you use for the graph? Do the numbers include songs that were #1 at the end of one year and the beginning of the next? Thanks very much.

Hi. Please stop adding the apparently non-notable and unsourced "Herr Grimm's Blaskapelle" to the list, until such a time that they have their own article which attests to their suitability for inclusion. The addition has been reverted twice now, so if you disagree, please discuss it on the article's Talk page and please do not just reinsert it again. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:57, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sandra_Gregory&oldid=prev&diff=589107319, that makes sense to me. How about adding a reference for it, so it doesn't look like unsourced content? -SpuriousQ (talk) 14:31, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
