[edit] ABC Sports and Bowl Championship Series

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article ABC Sports and Bowl Championship Series, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:ABC Sports and Bowl Championship Series. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Maxamegalon2000 23:20, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] B.J. Averell

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article B.J. Averell, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Importance). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:B.J. Averell. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Note that Tyler actually has a series of accomplishments outside The Amazing Race which make him meet the minimum benchmark of WP:BIO's requirements. Only notable racers (i.e., those with an expanded set of career highlights like Ron Young or Brittney Rogers) have articles on Wikipedia. --Madchester 00:32, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shallow water blackout photo

Hi there. Whilst it's showing as uploaded by me, Image:SWB3 temp.jpg was originally taken by User:Ex nihil. You'd be best off asking him for the details. Shimgray | talk | 12:42, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair Use Images

Please do not inline fair use images into non-article namespaces. This is against policy with respect to the use of fair use images. Only GFDL and other free images may be used on your User Page. Retropunk 00:15, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uploading images

I'm uploading a few images, but I still don't know exactly how to upload without problems.

Note, most images if not all are from sportslogos.net, so if I could get copyright info there I'd greatly appreciate it. Soxrock 23:08, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

For logos of sports teams, select "logo" from the dropdown menu and put the name of the team it's for and where you got the logo from in the summary box. --Carnildo 07:08, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cincinnati Reds logo

Soxrock -- I'm confused about the image of the 1961 logo you've reposted on the Cincinnati Reds article. The 1961 logo did not have a point on the back of the C -- the image you've posted has a point. And now there's a caption that calls it a "non-wishbone" logo, when clearly it's the same Wishbone C as in the other logos. Please discuss in the Cincinnati Reds discussion page before reposting. Acsenray 14:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image deletion warning

I am afraid I have nominated the files from your user page for deletion. They are not being used in any articles (and apparently more suitable files have already been uploaded for use in the articles about the sports teams), and fair use images shouldn't be used on user pages. (Wikipedia is not an image gallery.) For more details, please see Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Image use policy. Thank you. - Mike Rosoft 10:55, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Not only that, but criterion #9 of WP:FUC clearly states you may not use fair use images on user pages. I have removed them. Roguegeek (talk) 01:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not upload images in the GIF format

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you've uploaded a number of images in the GIF format. In the future, please save GIF images in the PNG format before converting uploading (see Wikipedia:Preparing images for upload). PNG images almost always have a smaller file size, which decreases the amount of time they take to load. There are a bunch of other advantages to the PNG format such as lossless compression that you can read about on its Wikipedia article. ---Remember the dot 03:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Darrent Williams memorial.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Darrent Williams memorial.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:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

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. 15:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use image above 500px

This is reminder that item #3 of Fair use policy states that:

The amount of copyrighted work used should be as little as possible. Low-resolution images should be used instead of high-resolution images (especially images that are so high-resolution that they could be used for piracy).

I have marked numerous images that are above 500px because that take up a majority of the screen on 800x600 monitors. Please do not remove the {{fair use reduce}} tags unless you are willing to save a smaller copy. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but Chris will tell you that he does not own any of the sports logos on his site -- all of the teams and leagues do. Chris does not have the power to grant usage rights to you or Wikipedia. Thus, they still fall under the fair use rules.

If you have some sort of image program, I suggest you reduce the images before you upload them to Wikipedia.

Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:58, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Please stop reverting my fair use reduction of images. --MECU≈talk 23:13, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use policy

Please review our fair use policy Wikipedia:Fair Use#Policy, in particular #9. Fair use images are not permitted inside of templates. Thanks -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 21:45, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indianapolis Colts seasons

The logo that you placed on the 2003 Indianapolis Colts season, 2004 Indianapolis Colts season, 2005 Indianapolis Colts season, 2006 Indianapolis Colts season, and 2007 Indianapolis Colts season articles are too large and very unattractive for use. I reverted your unnecessary edits, and please refrain from making edits with excessively large images in places where they should not be. Thank you. Manningmbd 00:29, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007 New York Yankees season

I am writing to ask you if you would like someome to work with to keep the article on the 2007 Yankees season up to date. I am more than willing to help you, because I know it is a large article to keep up with. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 01:42, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I fully understand why you signed up to maintain that article. I was getting ready to sign up for it when I noticed that you had, and I wanted to ask if you would like some help maintaining it. Please let me knowin which ways you wuld like me to help out, becaue I would lie to make the Yankees artcle one of the best. --Willy No1lakersfan (Talk - Contribs) 14:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why

Why do you completely ignore the talk page of the Green Bay Packers article and continue to engage in an edit war without discussing anything? I mean, you don't even have an edit summary in this edit. Would you please use the talk page?++aviper2k7++ 01:43, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you discuss this on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject National Football League before changing EVERY SINGLE LOGO to a larger, unneeded, duplicate version?++aviper2k7++ 02:02, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

If you want to settle this dispute, we can have an arbitration request. Read Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration.++aviper2k7++ 02:15, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for mediation

A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Green Bay Packers, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.++aviper2k7++ 03:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request for Mediation

A Request for Mediation to which you are a party was not accepted and has been delisted. You can find more information on the mediation subpage, Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Green Bay Packers.

[edit] Colts Logo.

Hi,

I reduced the size of your images to 100px, because it is too large for the format of the articles.

Your uploaded image is too large to begin with and should have been reduced offline. But in the meantime, it should be a smaller image to be in line with other logo images, the size of the text blocks in the articles and the fair use policy. I would appreciate it if you would give me a rationale for them remaining at 150px or reduce them yourself. No sense in us just swapping back and forth.

Thanks!

Take care,

Larry Lmcelhiney 01:38, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Kingdome

Please note that Wikipedia's article naming conventions currently state:

If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the page name. This would be the case for the title of a work such as a novel. Otherwise, do not include it at the beginning of the page name.

Thus, the article should be Kingdome not The Kingdome. If you feel strongly that this should not be the case, please let me know ASAP before I or someone else moves the article back. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 02:57, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

True, but I've never heard it of "The Netherlands" informally called "Netherlands", yet that is the example cited on the policy page I mentioned. Plus, throughout the article, there are numerous instances where "the Kingdome" is used. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 03:06, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yankee Stadium, Shea Stadium, etc.

It is against wikipedia policy to state scheduled future events as if they had already happened. This policy is called "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball". Wahkeenah 13:54, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lawrence Taylor

I noticed you are a member of the Wikiproject National Football League, I'd like to ask a favor of you. I've done a lot of work recently to improve the Lawrence Taylor article and recently made a request to have it peer reviewed. Would you mind looking it over and giving me advice on what to do next? The peer review page is here. Thanks in advance. Quadzilla99 14:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Joey Galloway.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Joey Galloway.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:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. 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. mattbr³⁰ 15:56, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use images

The following images fail the first fair use criterion:

• Image:Norm Johnson.jpg
• Image:Donald Hollas.jpg
• Image:Carl Pickens.jpg
• Image:Chris Mohr.jpg
• Image:Leo Araguz.jpg
• Image:Kyle Richardson.jpg
• Image:Darrien Gordon.jpg
• Image:Damon Gibson.jpg
• Image:Jermaine Lewis.jpg
• Image:Latario Rachal.jpg
• Image:Derrick Cullors.jpg
• Image:Tamarick Vanover.jpg

This message should be treated in the same way as the images in the above two notices.

Please do not upload any more images that fail the fair use criteria, because they will be deleted. This means you must also provide a fair use rationale. Please check over ALL of your image uploads to ensure they satisfy the fair use criteria, otherwise they may also be deleted. Thank you, mattbr³⁰ 19:09, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't forget to use {{Replaceable fair use disputed|Your reason why a free replacement is not available}} so that the reviewing admin knows that you dispute the tagging. Thanks, mattbr³⁰ 22:40, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tags on images

Hi Crazy Canadian/Soxrocks,

What's going on? Suddenly there are tags everywhere. Can that stop, because it's been fine for now, why is it bad now? Crazy Canadian 19:35, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

---

Please read the fair use guidelines.

These images do not state their copyright holder. It is NOT copyright sportslogos.net and it came from sportslogos.net. They specifically state on their website that they are not the copyright holder and cannot grant permission for use.

Second, many of these images do not have fair use rationale, "why" they can be used as fair use. Please read the copyright notice on each of the images. It requires the Uploader to provide a rationale.

Third, please do not remove these tags without resolving the issues and communicating them on the talk page. Simply putting a comment in the edit summary is not adequate.

Thanks for your interest in helping.

Take care,

Larry Lmcelhiney 20:18, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Soxrocks,

I see that you have started using the Fair Use Rationale statements which I sent to you. They were a talisman for me, so I hope that you will find them useful as well. If it is your intent to create a version for use on the LOGOs and apply it to those which I'd previously tagged, I will be pleased to leave them alone. Please let me know if that is your plan?

Of course, that still leaves the image size issue unresolved and I realize that is not as simple as a written statement. I do believe that it will continue to be an issue until resolved, as I saw that others have also mentioned it to you.

I hope to hear from you soon!

Take care,

Larry Lmcelhiney 04:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale.

Hi Soxrock,

I have modified the Cleveland Browns helmet image with fair use rationale per our discussions:

Place a simple description at the beginning without any further copyright or location information:

Cleveland Browns helmet image (2006)

Then place the following statement (with modifications) as shown (remove the "nowiki" tags and leave the comments, if you want to make the rationale usable for others):

User:Soxrock asserts that the limited use of this copyrighted image in Wikipedia articles directly pertaining to it is a fair use of the image, for the following reasons:

• It is of the logo, helmet or uniform of an NFL team <!-- Substitue other sport (i.e. NBA, MLB, etc.)-->which retains the copyright.
• It was obtained from the Sportslogos.net website <!-- Substitute with actual website location name (not URL)--> which serves only to collect and archive these images.
• No free-license alternatives are available that convey the same information.
• The image is no larger, and of no higher quality, than required for its use in articles. <!-- To use this statement, you must downscale images which are significantly larger than that which will be placed in the article. -->
• It is used in Wikipedia only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
• Its use on Wikipedia does not compete with the copyright holder.
• Its use on Wikipedia is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.

Of course, you will still need to resolve the image size issue, as that puts WikiPedia in a difficult postion.

In future, just place all of the information in the box when you upload an image, along with the "logo" tag.

Hope that this helps.

Take care,

Larry Lmcelhiney 14:03, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Los Angeles Dodgers logo section

Hi there. I understand that you want to include as many of the old logos as possible, but the captions obviously do not match the logos. Half of them are mis-identified. I'm going to delete those bad ones again. If you want to put them back, please correct the images. Thanks! --Chancemichaels 21:19, 22 February 2007 (UTC)Chancemichaels

[edit] Fair Use Rationale (cont'd)

Hi Soxrock,

I appreciate your attempt at putting copyright information on the Image:IndianapolisColts_1001.png, however it can be as simple as just saying that the Indinapolis Colts are the copyright holder...

On the other hand, you still have not addressed the Fair Use Rationale issue. Even something as simple as the bulleted list that I have provided for your use above would be adequate, but you must assert it there on the page, not on the Talk page or in the Edit Summary.

So, please do not remove the Fair Use Rationale tag until you have completed this step. You might also consider doing all of the others which you have uploaded under Soxrocks and any of your other aliases.

Thanks!

Larry Lmcelhiney 00:43, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:IndianapolisColts 1000.png

Thanks for uploading Image:IndianapolisColts 1000.png. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Lmcelhiney 00:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Carolina Panthers

May I ask why you deleted half the Panthers article? JTRH 20:01, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

I found the History page that you created, but I'm still wondering why you chose to delete the Seifert Era from the main page, while leaving Capers and Fox? JTRH 20:10, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: spliting content

As stated on Wikipedia:Summary style, what you should do when you move a large section into a separate article is that you must leave a several paragraph summary in its place -- summarizing all of the content you moved.

However, if you are lazy about writing such a summary, the only other option is to remove all of the content from the history section and place {{further}} instead of {{details}} (Remember to wikilink the target pages when using {{further}}, it does not do it automatically like {{details}} does).

What you should not do, as you have done, is to remove selected sections, which leads to huge gaps. It is better to write a simple sentence like "The Bengals did not make the playoffs throughout almost all of the 1990s" instead of not mentioning what the team did during that decade at all.

Hope this helps. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 00:33, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Added Tags

Hi Soxrock,

I noticed that you'd identified User:CollegeGameDayRocks! with this account as well. I went ahead and placed a tag on your three user pages, User:Soxrock, User:Crazy Canadian, and User:CollegeGameDayRocks! to more clearly identify[1] that you are not attempting to violate policy WP:SOCK. Please feel free to add this tag to any other accounts that you might use or remove these if you feel that my assumption is incorrect.--Lmcelhiney 16:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:BearsNavyBlueOrange.png

Thanks for uploading Image:BearsNavyBlueOrange.png. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ↔NMajdan•talk 14:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Multiple accounts

You appear to have more than one account and to be using them both. This is not allowed on Wikipedia (See Wikipedia:Username and Wikipedia:Sock puppetry). Please choose one account and stop using the other account. You could put redirects from the account you no longer wish to use to the account you will continue to use. I saw this because you used one account to add another to the list of active participants at WP:CFB, see [2]. Thank you for understanding and your cooperation. MECU≈talk 13:03, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually multiple accounts don't always constitute violation of WP:SOCK. This does raise questions, though, since that sort of practice is so often employed by problem editors. Soxrock, thank you for declaring that these accounts are all yours. You could help ease the worries of other Wikipedians by posting an explanation of each account's purpose. I've been asked to look into this and I'd appreciate your help. Regards, Durova^Charge! 16:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
