Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight

As a member of WikiProject Comics, I thought you might be interested in the Comics Collaboration of the Fortnight we have set up. Please feel free to vote on the articles listed, although bear in mind that a vote for a particular article means you are pledging to help improve the article. The goal of the collaboration is to improve articles to Featured Article status, as we feel Comics is under-represented in that area. Thanks for your help.

Image copyright problem with Image:Steve_bissette.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Steve_bissette.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images 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}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Carnildo or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

Image Tagging Image:John linton roberson 5-2004.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:John linton roberson 5-2004.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media 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 media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media 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 media, 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Jamie delano.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an arguement why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

Literal cartooning

Literal cartooning has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this term might not be significant enough for an article. Please review WP:NEO and WP:V for relevant guidelines and improve the article if possible.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe (Talk) 01:54, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So you are Mr Roberson

John, I'm not sure what you are gaining by removing my messages, but if you wish to cite them as vandalism the place to do it is the Admin's noticeboard. It's bad form to remove messages from your talk page, you know.

I did ask you if you were youWikipedia:Votes for deletion/John Linton Roberson. Common decency should have surely led you to confirm your identity earlier. I'm disappointed, but not shocked. For the record, I only put the article up for deletion to see where the boundaries were, not for any other reason. Steve block Talk 19:18, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not understand what you hope to gain from harassing me. For the record, I have a large number of trolls following me around the web and I have no idea whether you are or are not one of them. My usual policy is to ignore such people. I don't know why you keep hounding me, but i really wish you'd stop.

On wikipedia the policy is to always assume good faith. Be assured that my opinion of you does not influence my actions, which are in the interests of Wikipedia and it's users. For the record, I've always enjoyed your posts to TCJMB, but I take my position on Wikipedia seriously, and my edits are in that interest. I think it was pertinent at the discussion for deletion that you declare yourself as being the subject, I like to think if the boot was on the other foot you'd agree. I can only ask you to accept my action in listing it for deletion was not one of malice but one of working out the boundaries of who within comics merits an article. Your inclusion is actually something I welcome, but I needed it confirmed by process. Steve block Talk 19:33, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, and nothing personal. The reason I did not self-identify was because of said trolls. I expected vandalism if I did. I also liked your rewrite of the entry, by the way. Much more concise than mine, which was messy as hell.

Fair play, I've seen the crap you get at TCJMB. Good luck with the writing and the comics, and thanks for the kind words. Steve block Talk 19:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image tagging for Image:Floralwetter.jpg

Fair use disputed for Image:10-catch.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:10-catch.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Phil Sandifer 02:12, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of John Linton Roberson

A tag has been placed on John Linton Roberson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. I Will Be The Sunlight In Your Olneyverse (talk) 19:13, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
