WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Das Ansehnlisch! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

May 2009

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Paint It, Black, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. We have some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section I7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free image with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria.

If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the image can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the {{non-free fair use in|article name that the image is used in}} tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the image. If the image has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.

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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. FASTILY 23:24, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. FASTILY 23:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Glass of Water

Regarding your comments on User talk:JD554: Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. I redirected (not deleted) the article because if fails Misplaced Pages's guidelines on notability as I indicated in my edit summary. JD554 (talk) 06:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Please read WP:NSONGS, there is not point in making the article "better" if it fails the criteria for notability. --JD554 (talk) 12:06, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I think it would be best if you WP:CIVIL as well. --JD554 (talk) 12:11, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Glassofwater.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Glassofwater.jpg. 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 06:50, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

JD554.

I suggest you read WP:OWN], since you believe that articles that you create are you own. 月 (Moon)と暁 (Sunrise) 12:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Glass of Water (song). Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 12:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Glass of Water (song), you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. 月 (Moon)と暁 (Sunrise) 12:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Misplaced Pages pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 12:46, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Strawberry Swing

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Strawberry Swing, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non-notable song which doesn't meet WP:NSONGS

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages'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. JD554 (talk) 14:59, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Strawberry Swing

I have nominated Strawberry Swing, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Strawberry Swing. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. JD554 (talk) 18:58, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Misplaced Pages, as you did to Ode to Deodorant/Brothers + Sisters, you will be blocked from editing. JD554 (talk) 07:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. JD554 (talk) 12:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Postcards from Far Away

I have nominated Postcards from Far Away, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Postcards from Far Away. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. JD554 (talk) 12:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove the maintenance templates from Misplaced Pages articles, as you did to File:Postcardsfromfarawaysheetmusic.jpg, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. JD554 (talk) 12:50, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Struck out per this comment on my talk page. --JD554 (talk) 13:13, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Re Request

I can assure you that I don't not like you as you suggest. The problem is that despite repeated attempts you keep creating or recreating articles which are on non-notable subjects. Misplaced Pages has notability guidelines which need to be maintained otherwise we would be full of articles on subjects which simply aren't notable. You should make a point of reading WP:N, WP:GNG and WP:NSONGS to see why I've nominated a number of your articles for deletion. If you've taken my actions as a personal attack, I can only apologise, that certainly is not what I intended. However, I maintain the articles I've nominated for deletion should be removed from Misplaced Pages. I hope this helps clear the air, --JD554 (talk) 13:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Proskpects March

Adding the information that you've been trying to create articles for to the Prospekts March article is a good idea. It's worth noting though that anything you add needs to be verified by reliable sources (see WP:V and WP:RS). It's probably also a good idea if you have a look at some of the links that are in the welcome message at the top or this page, paying particular attention to the "Policies and guidelines section". Cheers --JD554 (talk) 13:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

...And don't forget that anything you do add is likely to be edited mercilessly by other editors. Don't take it personally though, we all simply want to make the articles better. But it does say at the bottom of the page when you edit anything "If you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly or redistributed for profit by others, do not submit it." --JD554 (talk) 13:44, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

The best place for non-notable songs would be their parent album, a big list of non-notable songs would simply create a non-notable list. However, the songs you've mentioned already have their own articles or are already in better placed articles: Life in Technicolor II, Lost+ and Lovers in Japan (Osaka Sun Mix). --JD554 (talk) 14:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

A page like that is likely to be redirected/deleted as well as it will simply contain non-notable songs and therefore not meet the notability criteria itself. It would be best to simply create a section in the Prospekts March article for information regarding the specific songs not released as singles. --JD554 (talk) 14:33, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

No, see WP:ALBUMS#Tracklising, that section is simply for the tracklising. Any other information should be in a separate music and/or lyrics section along the lines of Blood Sugar Sex Magik or Thriller (album). Have a look at WP:ALBUMS for how the structure of an album article should look. --JD554 (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Mentor

I'd rather not be a mentor, thanks for asking anyway, but I prefer to get on with editing as much as I can. However, if you would still like someone to mentor you WP:ADOPT is the place to go as there are plenty of willing volunteers to act as mentors there. --JD554 (talk) 06:51, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Page moves

Please use more discretion when considering page moves. Several of your recent moves have been without any discussion, and have resulted in incorrect page placement that other editors have had to repair. One in particular - Pavel Chekov - created a real mess with the multiple moves and redirects. In future, it would be better to first propose moves on the article's talk page. Thank you in advance. --Ckatz_spy 03:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Seriously. Please discuss page moves prior to making them. You have made a series of moves that do not meet the requirements of the Style Guide, and you have not discussed them. It only takes a moment to post on the article's talk page, whereas it takes considerably longer for other editors to clean up afterwards. Thank you. --Ckatz_spy 18:14, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Glassofwater.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Glassofwater.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file 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. JD554 (talk) 08:29, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Coldplay whatif.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Coldplay whatif.jpg. 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 Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JD554 (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

WP:OWN

I notice that you created many new Coldplay song articles and take it very personally when someone comments about your edits or makes changes to them. Note that no one "owns" articles per se on Wiki. This is a collaborative project and anything you add to Misplaced Pages will be edited or changed by other users, especially when it's in violation of existing Wiki policy, in this case WP:NSONGS.

WP:NSONGS is our basic notability guidelines for inclusion of songs in Misplaced Pages. We aren't a personal blog or Coldplay fan page/wiki, so we don't include independent articles for each track from the band. Again, please do not take ownership of articles and understand that other editors are working in good faith when nominating some of your articles for deletion. --Madchester (talk) 14:40, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jonas Retards

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Misplaced Pages has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Misplaced Pages and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Thank you.

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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Promo releases

First of all - don't talk to me like I'm an idiot ... comprende? You aren't clear if these are promo releases or singles. A promo release is a release that is given to radio stations etc to play when an album or dvd is being released, but they aren't available to buy. A full release is one that it is possible to buy. Which are these? --JD554 (talk) 06:47, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Strawberryswing.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Strawberryswing.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 Misplaced Pages 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) 06:31, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
