[edit] Daniel Cardoso

We can't seem to upload a picture from Daniel Cardoso. We noticed you did it with Kris Rygg, but everytime we upload one from Danil it gets deleted. Can you please help us? If possible just take it from Daniel's MySpace and upload it on his wikipedia page. Thank you

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Mindpre2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mindpre2.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairusein|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Sherool (talk) 00:35, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Rapp.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Rapp.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|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.

[edit] ICS Vortex

Just wanted to notify you. Vortex was not performing on Stormblåst (re-recorded) because Shagrath and Silenoz decided to do the job themselves with the help from Hellhammer. You remove the record from his discography list I didn't want to temper the article (Vandalize it) since you did most work for it. I think he had nothing to do with the Stormblast promo either but I don't know??? See ya! Death2 21:31, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Avant-garde

Hello again Karpsmom. I wanted to say that I've added some comments on the Talk:Avant_garde_metal page. I know you work on that subject and related bands so I just wanted to notify you. If you have some time please read that. You can give me a couple of comments too if you'd like.

On another matter I would like to ask for your help if you know something about this. Is Blasphemers (Mayhem, aura noir guitarist) real name Rune Erickson or Rune Eriksen. (see Talk:Mayhem (band) for more info on this). And also what is going on with Ved Buens Ende. Nobody mentioned Czral is better after his fall, I'm not sure the band is reuniting so soon. Thank you! Death2 22:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Connor McClure

Hi Karpsmom. I noticed that you've been making several additions to the article Connor McClure, I was doing some research on him and came up with nothing. Wikipedia uses only verifiable information, none of which is found on Connor McClure's page. It seems as if the article is an autobiography and might be more appropriate for FaceBook or MySpace. If I've made a mistake please let me know, but unfortunately I'm not sure that the aforementioned article is one that should be kept on Wikipedia.

Thank you, Vaniac 20:14, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Page Blanking

On 01-June, you blanked Norsecore. Blanking pages is generally considered a bad idea. I've reverted it to the previous version. If this was the result of a broken edit, you may wish to make the correct edits. If you believe the redirect should be deleted, please follow the redirect portion of the deletion procedures. If you believe an article should be written instead of the redirect, please write a stub. If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks! -- JLaTondre 23:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Carl-Michael Eide

Before

He used a croon while in the avant-garde metal band Ved Buens Ende.

Now

He uses a croon while in the avant-garde metal band Ved Buens Ende.

[edit] Wikipedia image policy

Hello Karpsmom. I have looked through your upload log, and need to mention several important points of Wikipedia's image use policy to you.

1. Most importantly, please remember that Wikipedia is a free content project. Our goal is to create an encyclopedia that is useable anywhere, by anyone. As such we have tight restrictions on the use of copyrighted unfree content, including photographs. One of the rules, fair use criterion #1, says that unfree images can only be used when it is not possible to create or procure a free alternative. You have uploaded dozens of unfree images of living, active musicians that are used solely for the purpose of identification. Since these people could still be photographed, or existing photographs released under free licenses, we do not allow unfree images such as the ones that you have uploaded.
2. You have labeled many uploads with {{promotional}}. This tag is intended for publicity photos, specifically intended for redistribution in the press, which not all material on a band's web site, or included in album liner notes are. In any case, even true publicity photos are subject to fair use criterion #1, discussed above.
3. The following images do not indicate their source and copyright holder. They may be deleted in one week's time if this information is not provided.

   • Image:Ihsahn 1peccatum.jpg
   • Image:Blackheim.jpg
   • Image:ULVER BLOOD INSIDE 1.jpg
   • Image:Solefaldpills.jpg
   • Image:Solefaldpic.jpg
   • Image:Solefald.jpg
   • Image:Solefaldoldpic.jpg
   • Image:Solefald2.jpg
   • Image:Solefald ship.jpg

   There are several others that list only http://www.metal-archives.com/ as a source. Unfortunately, this site does not own the copyright to those images, and does not supply the information that we need about their copyright status.

4. The following images were all tagged as either {{NoRightsReserved}} or {{GFDL}}, however there was no information on any of their source sites to back-up this claim. They too will be deleted soon if you can not provide accurate information about their status, as well as a detail fair use rationale The rationale must include, among other things, the reasons that the image legally constitutes fair use, the reason the image is essential to the article (some of your articles contain many unfree images for identification, which are certainly not essential), and the reason it is not possible to use a free image.

   • Image:Solefald runestone.jpg

5. Could you also please confirm that you are the creator of Image:Connor_urine2.jpg and Image:TUFFY.jpg, which you tagged {{GFDL-self}} indicating that you are the photographer and copyright holder. I ask only because you have unreliably tagged dozens of other images, and because the two images list different photographers. Neither one is used in an article and the first image's source link is broken. If these are not your creations, please remove the {{GFDL-self}} template. If they are, it would be helpful if you could explicitly state this on the image description page.×Meegs 11:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I'd also like to ask you to thoroughly read Wikipedia:Image use policy, Wikipedia:Image copyright tags, and Wikipedia:Fair use before you upload any additional images. If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. I know that I've just given you a lot of information at once, and I apologize, but this is very serious business. Regards. ×Meegs 10:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry for all the problems, I misunderstood the definition of the tag I had been using, and i believed that writing the source information for the image made it valid for use also. Unfortunately, I don't know the licensing for most of these images, so you should take them down if that's what needs to be done. I'll be sure to read up on things more before uploading anymore images, Thanks a lot!×Karpsmom 9:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for understanding. Regarding point 4 above, are you the photographer of those two images? It's quite common for people to use the {{GFDL-self}} tag by mistake, so it's not a big deal. All the best. ×Meegs 07:57, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I am the photographer and/or copyright holder of those two photos, but I don't really know how I can prove it. The Connor McClure picture I took with his brother's camera during a performance Connor was part of. The Tuffy picture I'm not the photographer, because I am a member of Tuffy, my friend took the picture with my camera and I hold whatever rights there are to the picture. Either way, it doesn't matter with those pictures because they aren't even being used in any articles! Thanks! =) ×Karpsmom 11:06, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

No problem. To avoid confusion in the future, you may want to add a phrase like "taken by User:Karpsmom" or "commissioned by User:Karpsmom" (substituting your real name if you want) to the image description pages. The thing is, those -self tags are misused — by accident and by intention — extremely often. A statement in prose, though it may seem redundant, is relatively good evidence that the claim is legit. ×Meegs 20:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rock music Wikiproject invitation

Hello WikiProject Metal member.
WikiProject Metal music is important in expanding encyclopedic coverage of the metal. It brings attention to the lesser-known bands, and significantly improves the quality of the famous ones. Five Featured articles and two formers is proof of that.
This is the stuff I wish to achieve with the somewhat recently resurrected WikiProject Rock music. I hope to also attract attention to rock music articles of all sorts, and hopefully change some to GA or FA status. I invite you to come join us, and embrace the links between metal and rock music in general.
Rock on.

[edit] Category:Norwegian musicians

I'm trying to minimize the items in this category. Perhaps you could look over the list and move articles over to the subcategories of Norwegian musicians by genre and Norwegian musicians by instrument I just created? Preferably the Norwegian heavy metal musicians category, as you probably have more idea of what the artists do compared to me. Spelemann 19:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shockertoys and Dethklok merchandise

It is my contention that despite being a toy company, Shockertoys is not a reliable source, considering thier history of making announcements that result in no product reaching the market. If what my google research hold true, they have a track record since 2003 of announcing merchandise which they later claim gets tied up in legal issues or people backing out of contracts, etc. It happened most recently with The Venture Brothers which they claim was part of the same deal as the Dethklok license. Look at thier concept for Shoulder Action Figures (SAF's) which never came out and check the reasons they gave for why. Look at thier Indie Spotlight line, which went through about a half dozen major changes in the series 1 lineup. They finally have a "concrete" lineup but it's unlikely they will ever see the light of day.

They have never had a product hit a mass retail or mass specialty retail shelf. They have been stringing along the GWAR license for 2 years now with what appears to be little to no headway being made. They were supposed to come out in the middle of last year and they pushed series one back to fall, then to winter and it appears to be indefinately in limbo. They have one product that has come to market from this and it is NOT a retail item, it was a conevention exclusive. Therefore the words "who made Shockinis and the GWAR action figures" are innaccurate to begin with since the only product they have so far is an inarticulated, unpainted resin test shot. That does not meet the classification of an action figure. It should be changed to reflect that they are "currently designing and fabricating protoypes for a potential GWAR action figure line." That's not even the main point.

My point is, that a manufacturer's announcement about a license is not valid by itself but must be corroborated. The validity of statements and announcements by even established companies such as Hasbro and Mattel about licenses they hold should be questioned unless they have licensor acknowledgement or the product hits the market. There has been no confirmation by the licensors, nor has there been corroboration by toy industry news sources on the story. My guess is that they cannot verify it either and that they consider the announcement to fail the test of attribution since without licensor confirmation it is tantamount to self-published material. NECA (National Entertainment Collectables Association) recently tried to release a John Lennon figure that they did not have the rights to despite the fact that they made prototypes, actually produced the figure and started shipping them to retailers who started selling them. A press release was issued stating that they did not in fact have permission to sell them and had been issued a cease and desist order. So despite the fact that they showed off the prototypes, talked about thier plans and even began selling them items they did not have permission from the licensor. That should highlight the fact that companies CAN and do make announcements that are erronous and as such a higher standard must be taken on how we handle them when it comes to posting in the wikipedia. I can register my own LLC and post on my company website that I have the rights to do Dethklok figures as well. Without licensor confirmation, my announcement would be just as reliable as thiers.

If it is to be included, it must and should be altered into a more appropriate and accurate format.
