[edit] Welcome back

Glad to see you back. I've always admired your knowledge and contributions in the R&B/Soul/Hip-hop areas. Mike Dillon 01:47, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed I too am glad you returned, if you ever need a second opinion in any dispute I'll be glad to drop my $0.02. - Tutmosis 00:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Hype-williams-screenshot.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Hype-williams-screenshot.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 21:49, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I've responded at the image's talk page. —ShadowHalo 23:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

On 6 January 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Wiz (film), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

[edit] "Motown Sound" proposed merger

I didn't appreciate you removing my merger proposal after just three days. According to WP:MM, you're supposed to DISCUSS the idea on the article's Talk page, and you're supposed to give it a couple of weeks to see whether there's a consensus. See this quote from WP:MM

"After proposing the merger, place your reasons on the talk page and check back in a couple of weeks for a response. You may be able to invoke a response by contacting some of the major or most-recent contributors via their respective talk-pages. If there is clear agreement after two weeks that the articles should be merged (or no response after four weeks), proceed with the merger."

[edit] Sly & the Family Stone

Sly & the Family Stone has been nominated for a featured article review. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to featured quality. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, articles are moved onto the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Remove" the article from featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. Reviewers' concerns are here. ShadowHalo 08:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I hope this isn't a rubbish explanation of combining cites, but here it goes. You'll have to look at this page in edit to understand what I'm on about;

^[1]
^[2]
^[2] - After you've used the same reference the first time, you do this abbreviation for all subsequent citing.

Hope this helps. LuciferMorgan 21:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

For an example, see my edit. Jkelly 22:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Awards and nominations for Dreamgirls (film)

An editor has nominated the article Awards and nominations for Dreamgirls (film) for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Awards and nominations for Dreamgirls (film). Add four tildes like this ˜˜˜˜ to sign your comments. You can also edit the article Awards and nominations for Dreamgirls (film) during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate.

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Gladysknight-pips-essential.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Gladysknight-pips-essential.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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Dreamgirls to an FA

Hi, Freddy. I noticed that you were a main contributor to Dreamgirls (film). I am trying to make this article an featured. We are currently undergoing the peer review stage. Could you please comment on this? Thanks. Real96 19:23, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sly & the Family

Don't worry: the article review is going fine. Keep up the work where it's asked and I'm sure it will pass. Still many days, and it can always be extended. Marskell 20:34, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing; I'll take a look. I completed the lead this morning. — Deckill er 00:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)"

Sorry, I was using the live spellcheck function in the Anti-Vandal Tool and I just corrected the word without looking at the article's content. Again, Sorry. Please reply...

[edit] Reference tag styles

Years ago, you added reference tags to Captain Marvel (DC Comics) in a style that's rarely, if ever, used any more. I'm hoping you know of a bot that can be used to convert the references to the more modern style supported by the citation templates, and can run such a bot on the page? Thanks. ThuranX 00:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Woody Woodpecker

I'd like to hear a fuller explanation about deleting the DVD info than just that "the parties involved" asked for it. Does that mean it's not going to happen? Is the reference to it false? What's up? Wahkeenah 21:17, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

If it's factual and verifiable, I'm not sure it's our place to "kiss up" this way. It's not like this is a Grand Jury leak. Wahkeenah 21:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I don't want to "jinx" anything either, so we'll leave it be. An official Walter Lantz DVD? I wonder if they would include any of his filmed TV segments about how cartoons are made. I remember that stuff fondly from the 1950s show, which tells you something about my chronological age. I also like the old Woody the best. He was basically a Daffy Duck knockoff, and even sounded like him (which figures, given that Mel Blanc did the voice early on). There's not a lot of philosophical difference between "hoo-hoo! hoo-hoo!" and "heh-heh-heh-HEH-heh!" :) Wahkeenah 01:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
  - Yes, let's hope they do right by their fans. Let's hope they aren't Knotheads. Wahkeenah 02:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Scooby Doo Where Are You! DVD

Sorry about the mix up, did not know these episodes are from a different show, then why are they calling it Season 3?? I noticed you deleted the entire section I created, I have put back the Season 1&2 release info for Scooby Doo Where Are You!, that should be there- are those not the 26 episodes from that show on that DVD?!?. Please don't delete it again. Thanks. HeMan5 02:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC) 03:38, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Miracles albums and Neutral point of view

Hello and thanks for the comment. I am glad that the pages on lesser known Motown albums as the ones by the Miracles are being revisited and updated. It's something Wikipedia was missing. I try to maintain a strict-to-the-facts style and if at parts that may seem objective my purpose is merely trying to be descriptive and accurate. I prefer pages with descriptions, facts and details than empty pages: "This is the album X by artist Y. end of page."
However, I do not always have details on albums - sometimes rare and old. So I might get carried away trying to fill pages. But that's why we're a community of Wikipedians exchanging info. Feel free to change the phrases I've written that seem objective. I'll look into that myself. Either way you seem to know the subject of Motown history pretty well. I might prepare more pages, so keep watching. Thanks. Zosakis 15:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Slyfamstone-smalltalk.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Slyfamstone-smalltalk.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:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 18:10, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
