The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

[edit] Stille Post

A tag has been placed on Stille Post, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. If you plan to provide more notable material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately, and also put a note on Talk:Stille Post. An administrator should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 1 under Articles. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such material.Elomis 06:09, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ohbijou

A tag has been placed on Ohbijou, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Chris 73 | Talk 17:16, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I have deleted it again. Please check Wikipedia:Notability (music)) before recreating the article. -- Chris 73 | Talk 17:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Stop deleting my articles while I'm writing them, please. It's annoying.Cmedley 17:32, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleted the page again. Do not recreate, rather read Wikipedia:Notability (music) for the reason why the band was deleted. Two albums plus a local press coverage is not a notable band. -- Chris 73 | Talk 17:47, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

I know what a notable band is, and I've used my own judgement on this case by looking at other pages on Wikipedia and seeing what's been allowed, and trust me, Ohbijou are notable enough in Canada to allow them to have their own page. I've added a 'stub' tag to the bottom though, since I don't have the time to finish writing it now. Alright, cool. Cmedley 17:57, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Negative, not cool. Still no assertion of notability (A must) or sources (also a must). Retagged. User:Logical2u_Talk 17:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our neutral point of view policy will not be tolerated. -- Chris 73 | Talk 18:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Disruptive edits? First off, I created a new page, and did not make any edits to an already existing page. And second of all, I thought the point of wikipedia as to share knowledge and information from all around the world. Just because you have never heard of a band doesn't mean they're not notable. This is one example of a band that is definitely notable in Canada among the indie-music scene. I would not be creating a page for them if I felt otherwise. I've been using wikipedia for years and have always been against people using wikipedia as a tool to help promote their own causes, but this is not one of those cases. I have no connections to this band other than an observer. I feel my block should be removed and their page recreated immediately.Cmedley 18:54, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The new page about the obscure band is not notable. 4 different people including 2 admins agreed on that. Yet, you never started to talk but merely recreated the content, despite numerous warnings on your talk page. Now you have 24 hours to read Wikipedia:Notability (music), and think about how to talk with other people if there are problems rather than just recreating content. See you back in 24 hours -- Chris 73 | Talk 19:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Where were you having this discussion. A link to it would be nice, so that I could perhaps take part.Cmedley 02:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

I have restored the Ohbijou article, as they clearly are a band who meet our inclusion criteria. I've shown Chris 73 the relevant CBC Radio 3 chart links, and have advised him that I believe an apology to you is in order for blocking you over it. However, I would also strongly suggest that in the future, you should try to make the notability of an article subject clearer within the article itself. I've added the line

Their music has been playlisted on CBC Radio 3. Their song "St. Francis" peaked at #4 on the network's weekly charts in December of 2006 [1], and ranked as the #34 song on the network's year-end singles chart [2].

to the article. In future articles, could you add a similar statement of notability up front, so we can avoid misunderstandings of this type, instead of waiting for an administrator who's familiar with the topic to stumble across it a month later? Thanks. Bearcat 09:31, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The references of Bearcat satisfy WP:MUSIC. My apologies for my mistake. As Bearcat said, next time please provide links to satisfy the notability criteria to avoid similar problems from happening again. I judged the band based on the info at the time of the deletion, which looked very much non-notable. Hope you understand -- Chris 73 | Talk 19:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up.Cmedley 00:51, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
