Dear Pn57,

I am trying to start a WaterSports Wikiproject. I got this idea when I noticed that the Phelps page did not have a picture, even when it was a featured article on the main page, and when he broke the world record. Swimming/WaterSports needs a hub of workers to help with swimming related articles. The project would include long and short course, along with water ballet, syncro, diving, water polo, open water and the players of those sports. It might be given the name WaterSport(s). Its all up for discussion. If you are interested in helping out, please add your name to this list and add any comments you might have. See you around the pool, --wpktsfs 03:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I restored the notability tag that you removed from The Scientists of Modern Music. It's not smart to remove a valid tag, when you don't fully understand Wikipedia policies. If you remove it again without first adding references to verify the band's notability, I will propose deletion of the article on the grounds of non-notability. If you dispute the proposed deletion, then I will nominate it under the WP:AFD process where other editors will examine the article and very likely conclude that the band lacks notability and will therefore delete it. You have three choices: 1) find reliable sources to verify the band's notability; 2) leave the tag alone and perhaps months will go by before someone decides to delete the article; 3) remove the tag and escalate to an AFD deletion within two weeks.

Thank you for responding. Let's start by looking at the notability guideline. Here are some of its criteria:

1. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart.
2. Has had a record certified gold or higher in at least one country.
3. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable).
4. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.
5. Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury or Grammis award.

From the article I don't see that any of the above apply. So the best chance is this criterion:

1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
   • This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, and television documentaries except for ...

Now let's look at your references:

• the Falls Festival is merely a mention that the band was on the schedule.
• the Triple J reference looks okay but even it might not be totally independent and reliable.
• sanity.com is just a catalog entry

So perhaps you see why I say that the band's notability is questionable. Your best bet is to find newspaper or magazine articles about them - and add those references to the article. Or read WP:music to see if some other criterion will demonstrate notability.

Even though notability is marginal, the article is written and formatted better than many. I'm not (for now) proposing it be deleted. But someone else may see a complete lack of notability and propose deletion. On the other hand, some other editor might come along and try to find references to establish notability.

Thank you for uploading File:CalYoung.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Radiant chains (talk) 05:31, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've looked at the page but can't find anywhere to change the copyright status. How can I do it? I took the photo so I don't think there is any problem, I just have to put it on the page right? Can you help me?  PN57  20:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, all you have to do is put the copyright template on the page. There's a couple to choose from; you can find a list (with explanations of each) at WP:ICTIC. Once you've added one of those templates, you can remove the "no copyright" deletion tag that's currently on the page. Radiant chains (talk) 23:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:The Experiment.png. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

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

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 11:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I just moved your photo of Angus and Julia to Commons, because the German Wikipedia didn't have a photo. Hope that's o.k.:)

Thanks for uploading File:Alexander Burnett Sparkadia.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:00, 21 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
