[edit] Images in userspace

Nice images. FYI, fair use images aren't allowed in userspace like your userpage. They have to be used educationally for it to be fair use, and userpages don't count. I used to have like 50 on mine, till I learned (I did the first 12 Black Lagoon images). You can put a colon in front of the image name within link brackets and the name will show up instead of the image like Image:Black Lagoon 01 Captain.jpg. - Peregrinefisher 19:12, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

What I was planning to do originally, but couldn't figure out how to. Thanks for the heads up. --BrokenSphere 19:43, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Slam Dunk manga page

Good work on the new images and edits. The character bios I wrote when I removed the player resemblances were quite basic, so I'm delighted to see them expanded. Cheers. Bhamv 11:57, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I've been getting more as I find them; I think the page has the potential to expand and include many other characters who have so far been left out. I plan to write up some of these when I get the chance to reread the relevant portions of the manga. --BrokenSphere 18:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:China help

Hey, I just wanted to say thank you for your continued help in finding and adding articles to WP:China. There are so many articles and subarticles about China, I could never find them all, but I will keep reviewing them as long as you keep reeling them in.--Danaman5 23:06, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem, I'll keep adding the WP tag and/or history tag to articles as I find em. --BrokenSphere 23:21, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Copyedit Request

Hi there! I saw your name in a list of the League of Copyeditors. I'm about to send Same-sex marriage in Spain to FAC for the first time. Would you terribly mind copyediting it before I do? Peer review revealed prose issues that needed addressing by a good copyeditor, which is why I'm here asking for your help. Pretty please? :) I'd be willing to help you in exchange with anything you might need. I've seen you have an interest in anime, so do I. Maybe I can help with one of your articles? Cheers and thanks for your time Raystorm 22:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

If you don't mind waiting, I'll give it a look when I have the time; ATM I am involved with a time-sensitive project at work that should clear up after Wednesday, so by then I should be able to give it more attention. --BrokenSphere 01:37, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your help. Looks great! I've followed your advice and added a mini-preface to that paragraph. I'll be sending the article to FAC now. Thanks again, and anything you need, please drop me a line. :) Cheers Raystorm 12:31, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Singing Priests of Tagbilaran

Thank you for your edit/s. I really appreciate the big help. Maybe you can also do the same honors for Chorus Paulinus, Arnold Zamora and Loboc Children's Choir? Thank you... --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 00:04, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem, glad to make imrpovements to Philippines-related articles. --BrokenSphere 00:06, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chorus Paulinus

Yes, there are already specific pages for each album...on-going, but we are getting there. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 00:29, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Please refer here

Albums by Chorus Paulinus
Chorus Paulinus (SLO) | Blessed Be God, A Cappella | Joy of Christmas

. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 00:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking it might be better to link to those instead of having them reppear in other articles, like Chopa. --BrokenSphere 00:42, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Please expound further. Thanks. --Ate Pinay (talk•email) 02:38, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Taking Chopa as an example, in the Discography section the album information for each of their 3 albums is pretty much the same thing that can be found on each individual album's page. The albums are already linked to. So what I am suggesting is removing what is duplicative and migrating anything that does not appear for each individual album onto that respective album's article page. In the end, you would be left with a Discography section listing all 3 albums.

I also noticed the Notes on selected pieces section; this section be taken out of the Chopa article and appear in the pages for all 3 albums containing only those notes relevant for that particular album. As it appears right now, the reader cannot tell where a song appears unless he/she scrolls up and searches. It would be more relevant to have the specific information pertaining to songs appearing on particular albums on the respective album's pages. --BrokenSphere 03:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Black Lagoon 07 Whatsup.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Black Lagoon 07 Whatsup.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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

[edit] Images

If these three images are still orphaned after 5 days, they'll be deleted. If you'd like them deleted sooner, you can tag them with {{db-author}}. ~ BigrTex 03:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] League of Copyeditors participation drive!

Dear League member,

We've started a participation drive for the remainder of February. If you can, please help clear the backlog by adopting the following goals each week:

• Select an article to copy-edit from the backlog. After your copy-edit, list the article in the articles ready for final proofread section.
• Select a different article to proofread from the articles ready for final proofread section.

Thanks for your help! BuddingJournalist 01:48, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject ships

A big list of potential ships is at List of world's largest wooden ships. Many of these articles are new.--Filll 02:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Feel free to assess any of the articles that you are tagging for WPMILHIST.--Looper5920 04:58, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Article handling

I find it's always a good idea to move non-notable pages to the creator's user space, as a lot of the articles have had a lot of effort put into them, and personally I think that an unfriendly speedy deletion notice followed by the removal of the page is kind of WP:BITE ^_^ Mathematician triathlon I don't think is speedy deletion material - it's not really that it doesn't "assert the importance or significance" of the band, but that they're just not notable at all. Personally I'd be more inclined to PROD or AFD it. ShakingSpirit^talk 05:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MB16_Principal.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MB16_Principal.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
