This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Yurika.gif. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Technically, it's been over seven days and this image, along with Image:Kyosuke.gif, Image:HinataWakaba.gif, Image:Chairperson.gif, and Image:Batsu.gif, could all be deleted immediately, but since they are used in article I'm going to hope you can figure out what website or wherever you got those images from. Otherwise, they will be deleted within a week. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 19:41, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So far, I've only given the source and fair use justification for Image:Yurika.gif; the website where I got the other images is down and I can't give a source yet, although the fair use justification is similar for them as well. Would you be able to wait until I can access the source of the other images? NeoChaosX 20:03, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for finding that website so fast. It looks like the website has all the images linked on the top, if that's where you got them from. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:07, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could put that site's pages as the source of the rest of the images (exact same images, in fact), but it's not the site where I found them. I will use it, however, if the original site I got the images from doesn't get back online soon. NeoChaosX 00:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's all Capcom's rights anyways at the end of the day, that's fine with me. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:07, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thought you might be interested in a Wikiproject involving anime. Give me a call if you want.

Comment moved from my Talk page prior to archiving -- wanted to be sure you saw my response.

Okay, I understand why the little versions of NHL team logos were removed from season and draft pages. However, I don't understand why you're removing the logo from pages about the teams themselves. Since they are on the page of the team they're illustrating, I don't see how having those images on the team pages would be a violation of Wikipedia policy. Could you explain how it is a violation of policy in that case? - NeoChaosX 23:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The large logo is acceptable under fair use in order to illustrate the team's logo. However, the small logos are not essential to identify the team in question and are instead just used decoratively; therefore, the images are not usable per fair use rules. It's pretty straightforward when you know the law, but a lot of people don't understand fair use and when it does and does not apply. In this case, the logo can only be used if no acceptable non-copyrighted alternative exists and if its use is essential in illustrating the subject in question (and other criteria, but those are the big ones here) and here the repeated use of the small logo serves no purpose other than ornamentation, even if it is on the team's article page. ⇒ B.Rossow ^talk_contr [[Sunday]], [[April 30]], [[2006]] @ 23:43 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. I get it now. NeoChaosX 02:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why do you persistently vandalize the Wikipedia in this manner? Your vandalism has been brought to the attention of the Wikipedia editors, and will not be tolerated. Michaelch7

I am not vandalizing, I am simply moving links that have very little to do with the articles you post them in. Neither of those sites are affliated with either San Jose State or the CSU system, and thus do not belong on those pages. Since they are mainly promoting the renaming of SJSU, I moved them to the GoState article I created about the renaming campaign. For California State Normal School, it was repeated information you could find in both the CSU and SJSU articles, so it seemed better to just redirect it to one of those pages. I apologize if these changes were not to your preferences. NeoChaosX 05:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that NeoChaosX was "vandalizing" your input, rather the consensus of Wikipedians decided that most of these matters pertained to advocacy and other forms of non-encyclopedic information. Streltzer 20:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you are the only user to have edited a template, and you have made it by mistake or believe it to be no longer useful, you can request its deletion by tagging it with {{db-author}}, bypassing TfD. --ais523 14:48, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

According to discussion in the TfD, I'm wrong; {{db-author}} apparently only applies to mistakenly created pages. --ais523 15:44, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, thanks for informing me anyway. I'll remember that if I ever manage to do something like that. NeoChaosX 18:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I got no problem with anyone else putting up the new team infobox for any of the other teams which don't have it yet. :D Go right ahead setting it up on the San Jose Sharks article. It'd definitely be a load off my shoulders since I've been going through the articles one by one.--Resident Lune 23:13, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for pointing out the revert to the infobox being added. I really don't know what he is referring to when he says that "rules and standards" for ice hockey articles are not being met, especially considering other project members haven't made any disputes about its use. Hopefully he'll respond now that I've asked him and changed the template back once again.--Resident Lune 03:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you think an editor is using an IP address to vandalize, you can make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser, and someone will check to see if the address and username match up. I've never gone through the process myself, so I don't really know what you should expect. Good luck. Gentgeen 08:03, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, thank you for that link. NeoChaosX 08:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I undid all of those edits because there was a massive move fest last night that I was alerted to through the antivandalism channel. Because the user was doing unilateral page moves, I undid all that I could. Ryūlóng 01:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So the move was mistaken as a vandalism? I can understand that. --NeoChaosX 01:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All hundred or so moves I mistook for vandalism. Ryūlóng 01:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Including moves over redirects that he performed while I was reverting moves of Masterhatch (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log). Ryūlóng 01:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And while following a guideline that is merely proposed. Ryūlóng 02:39, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You have once again redirected this article to the SJSU article. On what authority did you perpetrate act against California history?

Deletion is not "editing" it is vandalism, plain and simple, notwithstanding what your friends from San Diego State say. Michaelch7

The article was not redirected by me, but that was the result of the AfD vote on the article. I simply edited the redirect since it was a double redirect as initally done by the admin who changed the article. If you want it reversed, go to Wikipedia:Deletion review and state why you want the article back. --NeoChaosX 04:43, 27 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1. Naruto does NOT take place in modern-day Japan. Naruto takes place in a fictional world inspired by pre-Meiji Japan. 2. The English-language manga uses Japanese order. VIZ chose to use Japanese order because of the reason of Choice 1.

What the Manual of Style says on fictional characters[edit]

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_%28Japan-related_articles%29/Fictional_characters

And by the way, I posted this debate to the MOS. The Wikiproject's "rule" conflicts with the MOS decision (or lack thereof) made here. WhisperToMe 02:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
