Thanks for uploading Image:Africa06.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:

[edit] Fair use rationales

If you look at the current license of the first image on that page, it says "To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Help:Image page#Fair use rationale, as well as the source of the work and copyright information." The fair use rationale is used to tell other editors or people reading the article that even though you do not own the rights to the image since you didn't create it, you are still using it to illustrate for educational purposes on Wikipedia. Some examples of a fair use rationale for some of the images I've added include Image:Smokin-poster2.jpg, Image:Bluesbrotherssoundtrack.jpg and Image:Mcveighmugshot.jpg. I'd recommend searching through the GA/FAs that have similar topics to your article, as you're more likely to find a fair use rationale that would be more appropriate for your logos on the page. Let me know if you need more clarification or have any other questions. --Nehrams2020 21:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates on the subject I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 22:06, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bring Me the Horizon

Please read our policy on sources: WP:ATT. Specifically note the part that says: "The burden of evidence lies with the editor wishing to add or retain the material."

Also please note that vandals had recently been adding nonsense to the Trivia section. Sorry but I'd rather risk removing content that might be accurate that risk leaving in vandal's nonsense. AlistairMcMillan 17:37, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Note that one of the points of citing sources is so people can use them to check the accuracy of the content they are supposed to be citing. Have you read that Kerrang article? I had a search around online and I can't find it anywhere. AlistairMcMillan 23:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

That's cool. I thought of asking Gpmuscillo myself, but never got around to it. AlistairMcMillan 17:51, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] (Melodic) Metalcore

Can't you just write something about how they're melodic in the Music section? Xcryoftheafflictedx 00:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivium

YES objection. Just because they themselves say theyre thrash metal does not make them so. They are just using this lately to try market themselves as real metal (See: front cover of latest MetalHammer magazine). Across of the cover of that mag, it said "Trivium: Destroyers of False Metal" and the quote from matt heafy: "Fuck metalcore...We're for real". Which is complete idiocy. Their new material may be influenced by early Metallica, but does not change the fact that they are a METALCORE band. They were always a metalcore band before they included a Metallica influence. This makes them a metalcore band (early), thrash metal- influenced metalcore band (recent). Still, its important to realise that any sources such as myspace and anything the band/promoters are responsible for, is biased as a marketing tool. "Heavy metal" sells.

Following your contribution to the discussion on football player notability you might be interested in voting on this. Rgds, StephP 10:24, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wigwam

You agree with me. However, you are telling me to do what I have done and he has reverted twice. I need a third party to tell him he is not right so that I don't have to worry about him reverting me. Please tell him to stop bothering people about well intended hatnotes that are well placed. TonyTheTiger (talk/cont/bio) 18:01, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
