IABot question

Hi! I've been trying to figure out how other editors run IAbot like this, so I'm finally just asking someone. I know how to run jobs from the management console, but what tool are you using to run it in individual pages from your own account? Is this a module in AWB or something similar? Alyo (chat·edits) 18:37, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I'm not sure if you need special permission to do this but from a page's history tab just hit "fix dead links" which should be on the far right of "external tools". J04n(talk page) 19:30, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Ahh, I see it--never noticed that before. Thanks! Alyo (chat·edits) 19:31, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Artworks and Cover arts

Greetings J04n, thanks for adding the album art to King Zamar. I was wondering, since I heavily work on creating articles of songs and albums, how does one get permission to add an album art or a song cover art on Wikimedia commons, or get it licensed under Fair use?
Thanks in advance, I'll be on the look out for your response. dxneo (talk) 20:45, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, If it's under copy right it can't be added to commons but all you need to get fair use permission is to include the following during the upload and filling in the blanks:

{{Non-free use rationale album cover

| Article =

| Use = Infobox

| Name =

| Artist =

| Label =

| Website =

}}

== Licensing ==

{{Non-free album cover|image has rationale=yes}}

J04n(talk page) 20:52, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks a lot you're a lifesaver, I'll try and see if it works. dxneo (talk) 21:14, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

J04n, sorry to disturb you at this hour as it is 02:05am (SAST), Using the Upload wizard i seem to can't get past the second step which is "Release rights", I tried using the "Another reason not mentioned above" so that I can paste that template but instead I get slammed with a red link "Template:Non-free use rationale album cover". What do I do from here? dxneo (talk) 00:05, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

I don't use upload wizard, just type the name of the file you are going to create with .jpg into the infobox, which creates a redlink. Then clicking on the redlink will allow you to upload the image. J04n(talk page) 00:08, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Thanks, it worked. dxneo (talk) 00:52, 24 September 2023 (UTC)

Greetings sir J04n, a question, does music recording certification alone help a (stub) page to stay afloat? (I do recall that certificates signify notability)
I once created "Amaphiko" before I became an autopatroller and it was marked as reviewed meaning it wasn't auto reviewed, so I was wondering if maybe I could create one more without faltering my account or would it be abusing my rights? dxneo (talk) 06:57, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

A recording being certified is a criterion for notability, no once could fault you for creating notable stubs. J04n(talk page) 13:21, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

Hi, I just created article for Selena’s Preciosa album. Could you help me with some artwork. Tejanorules (talk) 01:28, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Tejanorules, in this case I think you should at least wait for a new page reviewer to patrol the article first, please be patient. dxneo (talk) 01:57, 3 October 2023 (UTC)

Hi JO4n, I was wondering if it would be possible for you to add alternative artwork to infoboxes of Selena’s independent albums. They were re-released in 2006-2007 as Selena Classic series. I just thought they could use them as other album articles usually have alternative covers included in their infoboxes along with original album artwork. “Alpha-vol 1, Munequito de trapo-vol 2, And the winner is Vol 3, preciosa-vol 4, Dulce Amor-vol 5. If you could do this, I would greatly appreciate it. Tejanorules (talk) 22:25, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Hi, considering that we have over 12,000 pages missing the primary cover art I'm not going to start spending time looking for secondary covers. Also there's this" ...per WP:NFCC#3 use of non-free content is to be minimal, and not to be used if one item can convey equivalent significant information. An alternative cover that is significantly different from the original and is widely distributed and/or replaces the original has generally been held to pass this criterion. Also, an alternative cover that is the subject of specific (sourced) critical commentary passes the criteria for inclusion. Covers that are essentially similar, despite differences in colouring, poses, text, etc., should not be included. Perhaps after cleaning up the primary backlog I'll look at some of these but I tend to find big backlogs and shift my attention to them. Be well, J04n(talk page) 22:48, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Wig Wam - Wall Street cover art

Hey dude,

Saw that you added a cover art for the Wig Wam album Wall Street (2012). The cover art that's currently in place is the European edition and according to the band, it's not the one they intended for this release. The artwork they wanted to use is the one that ended up on the Norwegian and Japanese edition. Some miscommunication between the band's Norwegian label and their international label caused a mix-up. See the following interview for a source on the matter: http://www.queensofsteel.com/2005/07/wig-wam-eng/

The album cover in question: https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/Music4/v4/20/20/1b/20201bdb-f5ce-3a29-5761-e30df1822666/7332334361247.jpg/1200x1200bb.jpg

This artwork is the preferred version of the band and what they consider the album's 'real' artwork. Highly suggest that the album page use this one instead of the other cover art. I replaced the file that you originally uploaded (apologies for doing this right away instead of giving you a heads-up on the issue), but as this is technically not the right solution and I'm not too savvy with uploading and filling out the forms in Wikimedia, it would probably be best if you uploaded a new file and set this one as the main artwork. :D ValhaIl (talk) 19:50, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Aseq

Hello J04n, I hope you're doing well. You recently edited the article and rescued the sources. Looking through it I got the idea that you are archiving the source. I didn't knew if there a local tool or how does it works. So I would like to more about the tool and its usages on articles. Thanks C1K98V 04:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Howdy, very easy: from a page's history tab just hit "fix dead links" which should be on the far right of "external tools". J04n(talk page) 13:30, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

I didn't came across this tool till today. The usage of the tool is only for dead links fixes or it can be used on newly created articles too (maybe with a week old sources). Thanks C1K98V 13:59, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)

Hello C1K98V, try using the IABot, easy to use and I think it is or does what you're asking for. I'll be on the lookout for your response Thank you. dxneo (talk) 13:55, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Oh yes J04n definitely used the IAbot, I just checked the page history. Ciao! dxneo (talk) 14:04, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Translation

Hello J04n, I have a small problem, someone translated Afro house to Japanese, however the content written in the Japanese version does not correspond with the English/primary version or so the google translator tool say, and worst part is that I cannot CSD, PROD, AfD or even improve nor rewrite the article since I don't know Japanese. Could you please resolve this problem? Thank you. dxneo (talk) 14:01, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Request of third opinion in dispute

Hello J04n. I found your name, looking at Misplaced Pages:Administrator review. Because you willfully submitted your work for review, I decided to contact you. I am currently in a dispute with an administrator. I was wondering if you are willing to provide your input as part of the dispute resolution process. Regards, Thinker78 (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Looks like this dispute ended a few days ago, move on and happy editing. J04n(talk page) 00:19, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Don Ienner: Later career and Columbia Records

Hi. I noticed that you are an active member of WikiProject Musicians. Therefore, I thought you might be interested in taking a look at an edit request I recently posted at Talk:Don_Ienner#Later_career. Although Don Ienner is not a musician himself, as the head of Columbia Records and Sony Music, he helped launch the careers of many popular contemporary musicians, so I am hoping this might interest you. I wonder if, while you are already on the talk page, you would also look at a previous edit request I posted at Talk:Don Ienner#Columbia Records & Sony Music section, which was only partially implemented. I was in a discussion with another editor about the bullet points he did not implement, but he has not responded to me. I would really appreciate it if you can look and see what you think over there as well. Thanks, GarrettEye (talk) 12:53, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
	Thank you for addressing Category:Album infoboxes lacking a cover. You've greatly improved Misplaced Pages by uploading so many images and illustrating so many entries! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:45, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

@Another Believer Thanks! Appreciate it, J04n(talk page) 02:27, 28 January 2024 (UTC)

thanks for adding album cover

thanks for adding album cover for me Samchristie05 (talk) 16:51, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Infobox television

Hey, thanks for adding infoboxes to television articles. If you can, please don't add the complete list of parameters as those are just not useful for most articles and some are mutually exclusive so adding both is never helpful. If you really must add empty values, use Template:Infobox television#Short which at least has lesser things to clean up after. Also, if you don't want to care about spacing, please use {{subst:Infobox television/subst as it automatically fixes spacing. Gonnym (talk) 14:39, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

New categories and templates

Hey J04n, when creating album by artist subcategories (live, compilation, EPs, etc.) could you also include the categories “by artist” and “by Fooian artists” as well as any appropriate genres as parents? Also, it is not absolutely necessary to create such subcategories for an artist who releases a single live album or one compilation album. Nothing against it either but it can make things simpler to stick with the status quo.

Out of curiousity, what got you interested in creating categories and musician templates? You are a long-time editor but really haven’t delved in those areas previously. I know you have always done a fabulous job adding album covers to articles that didn’t have them, and I noticed this change when your creations began showing up on User:AlexNewArtBot/AlbumSearchResult. Cheers. Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars 05:47, 20 February 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the tip. I simply started adding categories because I (finally) cleared the backlog of missing album covers. J04n(talk page) 13:08, 20 February 2024 (UTC)
