An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:WideOpenSpacesSongSheetMusic.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

• Hey, I noticed we were having a disagreement over this image. I didn't realize I'd already nominated it. You seem to have been the only editor who defended it in the last ifd. Every other time that I've nominated a sheet music image for deletion, it has been deleted, so I would say that no, you can't use the sheet music to identify the single, as the sheet music isn't a means of promoting the song in the same sense that single cover art is. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 03:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  • I don't see in copyright law where "promoting" is a criteria for fair use. For example, we can quote snippets of words from novels and snippets of lyrics from songs and indeed snippets of audio from records, and none of these things are involved in promotion. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

• There's no fairuse template for sheet music, for one. Furthermore, the article is about the song itself, not the sheet music. Furthermore, the label doesn't own the sheet music, the sheet music printer (Hal Leonard or whatever) does, so your fairuse rationale is misrepresentative. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP)} 04:33, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The article is on the album single, not the sheet music. Adding the cover of the sheet music would not only be misleading, but also misrepresentative of what the article is about. It's like putting this on this article. — neuro^(talk) 04:40, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Huh? Wide Open Spaces (song) is about a song, not an album. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:43, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

(ec)The fair use templates are just a convenience mechanism, not law. The article is about all aspects of the song: the single cover is one, the sheet music is another. Indeed, the sheet music is a much closer representation of a song than the cover is. Ownership of a song and recording is split multiple ways: the record label owns some, the recording artist owns some, the songwriter owns some, and the song publisher owns some. Both the single cover and the sheet music represent 1 out of 4 of these parts. I still don't see a difference. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:42, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

There's still no precedent that says that the sheet music is acceptable, however. I have never seen a sheet music picture used in a song article. And yes, fair use is law on en.wikikpedia.org at least. Using the sheet music to identify the single would be like using a DVD box set cover to identify a TV series; it just doesn't work that way.

Disputed non-free use rationale for Image:WideOpenSpacesSongSheetMusic.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:WideOpenSpacesSongSheetMusic.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Soul2Soul II Tour

These similar reverts (Revert 1, Revert 2) caught my eye, while the overlapping edit histories (Contributions 1, Contributions 2) just raise my eyebrow even further.... --Madchester (talk) 06:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it caught my eye too. It's clearly the same person, which is even more evident once you go further back in their histories. Same topics of interest, same types of comments in edit summaries, same disrespect for other editors (with the IP address used for the most rude comments), same disregard for discussing major changes to articles or sets of articles with existing editors before plowing ahead, etc. There have been many complaints and warnings against the IP address that it just removes from its talk page. Moreover, the IP address has also been used to delete complaints and warnings from the registered user's talk page! such as here and here. Furthermore, the IP address has pretended to be a third party in a dispute between the registered user and another use, for example here and here. Seems like a clear case for WP:SSP, wouldn't you think? Finally, I'm not convinced that the IP address is shared by multiple users, as its talk page banner suggests. The first edits suggesting this were from the IP address itself in the middle of an edit dispute, see here and here. The banner was then put on by an apparently sincere other editor here. There definitely aren't "14 current Wiki Editors" at that IP address, all or almost all the edits look like they come from this one person. Wasted Time R (talk) 13:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

GA Review of Anne Dallas Dudley

Thanks for your patient and thoughtful reviews of the Anne Dallas Dudley article. It was very helpful for improving it. It also inspired me to do some deeper research which I hope to integrate into the article soon. Best wishes. Kaldari (talk) 16:30, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

GA Review of Teletubbies say Eh-oh!

Thanks for your review to which I have responded. After I have attended to the matters that you raised, should I notify you specially for a re-review? I'm not sure whether the process prefers a separate reviewer (for a second opinion) or the same reviewer (who will be familiar with the matter). Colonel Warden (talk) 19:53, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much

Thanks to you for letting me know and to those who found out. I think Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Alkclark should be banned completely, as this user has not only lied but also used this encyclopedia for cyber-bullying of other users such as myself. JWAD (talk) 19:12, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Ahaha. Thanks for the note - I had a sneaking suspicion re/ their behaviour at the time, but just couldn't face the hassle of dealing with them long enough to complain (and, er, the embarrassment of bringing up a fight over something so abnormally trivial). Shimgray | talk | 00:29, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

For making the Fortune cite more accurate on Charles Keating. I think a few more of the Binstein cites need replacing as well (looked like the article was relying almost entirely on one source). Collect (talk) 17:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Missing in Action

The Missing in Action revert-war has flared up again, I fear. ToTheCircus has "corrected" the article so it's now got the same-old heavy emphasis on Vietnam issues i.e. as if the problem of MIAs suddenly cropped up in the 1960s, and had never existed before that decade. It's a pity that the page can't be protected from such perverse and inaccurate editing. Nabokov (talk) 21:09, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Caroline, no (well, maybe)

Yeah, I know about the Post story - but Olbermann just reported moments ago that a source in the Kennedy family says she did not withdraw her name, but there was a miscommunication with Paterson's office. So, as I said, we don't know shit and shouldn't be including it yet. (Great section title, by the way. Most of the children around here won't get it.) Tvoz/talk 02:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

And now AP says some anonymous Kennedy family member (and Lord knows there are dozens of them) says she has not dropped out. Fiasco isn't the word. I really think we should keep it all out of the articles until it's sorted out but it's a losing battle, as usual. About Brian Wilson - my son gave me a copy of the remake of Pet Sounds - very eerie really. But he sure has come back from the brink - what a life. Tvoz/talk 05:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest in the article. The article has failed its FAC. I would appreciate it if you would continue to help clean it up.

This has been withdrawn for one final push around the 20th. User:SandyGeorgia, the WP:FA delegate, says that it can be renominated with an independent copyedit. That means you and others need to keep cleaning it up between now and then for us to have a shot at the main page. Please keep up the good work.

Relocated user page comment

[ Regarding User:Wasted Time R#Quotes and italics ]

It's a bit hard to follow. Is 'just proper nouns' significant or just a way of saying that neither double quotes nor italics are needed? Why did you write 'go in bold' instead of 'goes in bold'? What does 'title subject' mean? 77.103.171.131 (talk) 21:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

If you start looking at FA- or GA-level music articles, you'll see what I mean. And please put comments on people's talk pages, not their user pages. Wasted Time R (talk) 22:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Just a leg up, I guess

I've noticed that you left these little "warnings" 1 2 3 4, which I can only assume that you can do within the confines of Wikipedia, however, this does "classify" as cyberbully-ing and that person (or persons) can bring up a civil case against you (or depending on what country you live in, a criminal charge). Its no different (as it was explained to me) that if your house were to get robbed and this person was caught and you then took that person's mug shot and hung it up around your neighborhood and said "Hey, this person rob my house, be sure to look out for him because he could rob your house." That person's family can sue you. If you want to place it there, you could reword it. Again, I don't know where you live as the cyberlaws vary state to state and country to country but just wanted to give you a leg up, as this has happened to me before (not Wikipedia related but another online site). Jj wiki1 (talk) 00:30, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

If this person is Alcklark and he is accusing you of Cyber-bullying (which its so clearly not) and is talking of legal action, I am sure his legal representative would be interested to see all the comments this user and his sockpuppets made on others talk pages! --JWAD ^talk 18:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

McCain GA review

Not to worry; this isn't unusual for one of my GA reviews. Not everything I'm identifying is actually a defect; I just think there's some room for improvement in a lot of them. I've considered fixing issues myself in the past, but I'm concerned that if I did so I'd no longer be an impassive reviewer but a major contributor to the article. Additionally, while we all know nobody owns Wikipedia articles, I'd rather give the people who have gotten them this far the chance to evaluate my suggestions, instead of just imposing them and daring a revert (a lot of the time, once I've identified the issue the original author comes up with a better fix than I had anyway). Sorry I've been so slow with this - I'm a little busy in real life, and I'm also on the receiving end of another pretty thorough review. I really should be done by the end of the day. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 13:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello - I have reviewed House and Senate career of John McCain, until 2000, which you listed at the Good Article nominees page. My review of the article can be found here. As you can see, I've raised quite a few issues with the article. Before you panic/become depressed/burn me in effigy, though, here are some things to bear in mind:

• The points I raise are not necessarily all things that need to be addressed before I list it as a GA. Instead, they are things that I think could improve the article. In my view, the actual GA status is of secondary importance in the GA process; what's more important is improving the article, and I think that goal is best served by making as many suggestions as possible.
• In my experience, I'm among the most stringent GA reviewers out there, especially in the "well-written" category, where I tend to review GA and FA candidates in essentially the same way. Again, I do this because I think it's best for the article; however, if you think the points I've raised are too nit-picky or minor and you'd rather not address them, I may be willing to promote the article without them all being addressed.
• The opinions I express in my GA reviews are just that - my opinions (I also express some things, like grammatical rules or the requirements of WP:V, that are not my opinions). If you disagree with any of my opinions, please say so; you don't need to convince me that you're right, just that your position is a reasonable one. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 21:53, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I've gone over your responses. For your convenience, I've bolded the points that I'd like you to take another look at. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 23:22, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Well done; I've listed the article. I hope the process wasn't too painful for you. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 13:51, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

I spent a few hours digging at the University of Chicago Law School today. Please have a look at the new content that I have added.

After another research adventure earlier today, I think this will be up at FAC with the latest changes in the next day or two. Your continued participation in its improvement would be appreciated.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTM) 08:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree with your edits - separating the career from the waitressing took care of my problem, and you're right that it should be "had" proposed. What do you think of the "Second Lady" vs "Wife of the Veep" brouhaha? Tvoz/talk 08:25, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Either term, or a mixture of both, is okay with me. I'm not convinced there there is a formal title for the position, and the Wife of the Vice President of the United States article gives no cite in this regard. Mary Cheney has an amusing list of terms her mother has been addressed as here in her book. Wasted Time R (talk) 12:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

HRC pic

It looks to me like MOS:IMAGE says that it may be appropriate to force the size of lead pics - that is, infobox pics - to no more than 300 pixels. Since the original is kind of small, maybe we are better off with 220 or 250 pixels than the original? Am I missing something here? Tvoz/talk 08:34, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I missed/forgot that, so my reversion was wrong. I've put it back to 250px with an edit summary quoting the MOS:IMAGE guideline. We'll see what the reaction is. Wasted Time R (talk) 19:17, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

It looks like you have to save the whole page (all the files), then from there you can bring up the top HTML file, then from that you can save just the image. As for McCain, I don't think the new photo is high enough resolution for the top photo in the main article. Wasted Time R (talk) 14:52, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Conspiracy Of Hope

Thanks for flagging me on this. I concur with you 100%. The word "tour" in the article title is not appropriate. The fact that there was a huge Live Aid style finale carried live for 11 hours on MTV - plus the multiple press conferences highlighting the cause - made this much much more than a regular rock music "tour".

Orphaned non-free media (File:U2 360 Tour.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:U2 360 Tour.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:41, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hilda Solis GA review

I'm putting the article on hold so issues can be addressed. Feel free to contact me on my talk page and let me know when the issues have been addressed. They are more suggestions, so no need to check mark them. Best wishes Hekerui (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I wanted to remove the italics, because one, it seems, either uses |work= to make it into italics or leaves it as it is in publisher. Well anyway, I copied everything into Windows notepad and had Strg-H running over it, which killed the links, so I also delinked the two remaining things because it was not easily reversible (should have done it differently, I know). I hope the rest of the edits is better, one can't properly see quite a number of them in the history because I moved around a paragraph so as to first mention the most important stuff in her time in the House. Hekerui (talk) 01:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

As I said, it was a mistake. These reference links are a minor issue, they are not what most people even look at and it's hardly worthy of the name a disruption. As for the single edit, I intended to do just a single edit so you could more easily compare and reverse what you don't like. Looking back, I see that makes it more difficult to actually reverse specific changes. However, I think I really improved the article overall. Hekerui (talk) 02:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

HRC Commencement

The lede of the HRC page says she gave the commencement address at graduation. I vaguely remember that being incorrect. Am I right? CouldOughta (talk) 03:21, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

She did indeed give an address at commencement. The thing that the article once had wrong a couple of years ago was to say that she was valedictorian of the class. She wasn't. She was head of student government, and when students demanded a speaking role at commencement, she was the one they wanted to do it.

Nancy Reagan

Hey Wasted, I've reworked some of the first lady section at Nancy Reagan. The Russians section at the bottom always sort of bugged me since I put it in, so I've moved the material into other parts of the section. I'm working on trying to give better balance to all the aspects of her ladyship. I created a new subsection meant to cover state dinners and other dealings like that (I'll expand on it in the next few days). I was wondering if you could look it over, though, and make changes where you see fit. I'm not sure if it flows well.

Also.... any photo suggestions? We may be able to add one more in the protector section. Check out Commons:Category:Nancy Reagan if you'd like.

Thanks a bunch, Happyme22 (talk) 06:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Question

Hello Wasted Time,

On the talk page of Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2008 on September 29, 2008 you stated:

“ I do plan to revise all the Hillary campaign material, and to get this all back to one article ... there's no reason we can't describe a campaign that didn't even with the nomination, in one article! ”

Why then do three articles exist instead of just one? --William S. Saturn (talk) 20:43, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

The reason I ask is because if you are not planning on merging the articles, I'll just have to do it myself.--William S. Saturn (talk) 00:37, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I was planning on doing it after more books come out on the 2008 election. One way to reduce the overall combined article size will be to replace all the newspaper/CNN-type cites with book cites, which are much more compact. Also, I suspect many of the existing cite urls are deadlinks now, which book cites also avoid. And books are higher-value sources anyway. But if you want to take a crack at it now, that's up to you. Be aware though that people are on the warpath against long articles – see Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/GA1 and Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Hillary Rodham Clinton/3, the first of which explicitly applauded the prior reduction of the campaign article. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I see what you're saying. It looks like it's going to be a tough task but hopefully it can be done. I wish the Obama campaign article wasn't split as well but that would be impossible to merge.--William S. Saturn (talk) 00:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Amendmant to be

Was my Ted Kennedy contribution OK in your opinion, other than being in the wrong place? Isn't it relevant that he received a mention in popular culture? I think so, particularly by a renowned outlet of right wing media such as Fox. Your thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.71.152.175 (talk) 21:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Your contribution had nothing to do with Kennedy per se, who had no voice role or other involvement in the episode. It has everything to do with a Simpsons episode. Currently, the The Day the Violence Died article doesn't mention this song. Adding it there is the appropriate action. The Fox connection is irrelevant; Fox News didn't even exist yet when the episode was aired. Wasted Time R (talk) 00:41, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

OK that's fine, just looking for an opinion. Seems like you are much more experienced in wikipedia than me, so thanks for clarifying your thoughts. Do you think the entry was written OK other than the place it was made? Also do you think if I could cite an opinion of the episode from Kennedy it would be more relevant? I'm tryin to learn about this stuff and discussing with people is easier than wading through the policies and basing my entries on my own interpretation, so any feeback is helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.71.152.175 (talk) 19:38, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I don't think it merits inclusion in the Kennedy article even if Kennedy voiced an opinion. Kennedy has a long career, the article is already long and is still unfinished (the 2000s section is missing), and minor cultural references like this just don't belong. As for the text itself, you'll find that many editors object to using YouTube as a source, and they'll say that your final "in an aparent grievance by one or more writers towards Kennedy's liberal views" statement needs a third-party source. If you add this to the The Day the Violence Died, you'll find out directly what other editors think. Wasted Time R (talk) 22:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Not everything is about political parties

This edit summery was a bit over the top considering that it was at best a good faith edit. Politics doesn't need to be the reason behind every edit.

Whack! You've been whacked with a wet trout. Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

Why has the GA article nomination process become so complicated? It used to be much easier.--William S. Saturn (talk) 04:19, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

And I believe the editor discussed above edited the article recklessly, and it was inappropriate. He was changing around what Vilsack had said, and I am glad I intervened, even if he reviewed it and passed it (because at the time I was not even aware that this was his intention). I have dealt with this editor in the past and I was very surprised that he was attempting to do a GA review, at first I believed his edits were simply misguided albeit in good faith. In this particular article, individual words were quoted for flow and emphasis, and this is permited by MOS. I wanted a good review and that is why I contacted you. I will try to find out what tags I need to use, and then I hope you will take a look at the article. --William S. Saturn (talk) 04:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
