Thanks for uploading Image:LhfdKiani.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:
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. 10:07, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi Fisherjs and thanks for the message. I have many pages I would like to help expand and create, and I have some free time at work to do so ;). I surmounted the problem of creating layouts by freely copying existing articles and replacing the content, but this leaves me some problems:
Images: I am sorry but there are so many pages on Images that I cannot make sense of all of them. I see several images used on lots of pages that would make some of my doubts disappear, however reading the rules, it makes me think lots of uses use images a bit too freely. Some singers or artits have no pictures on their pages. I wonder if this is because of lack of interest or legal reasons? For example lots of big actors don't have pictures on imdb.com and I wonder why.
To avoid incurring in using images from the press I could stick to using pictures that are in the album artwork (and pictures found inside it) and stating the origins and adding tags. Do you consider my tag for the image LhfdKiani.jpg to be suitable for usage or is it likely to be deleted?
Thanks and have a nice day -- Dollvalley 12:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. When you say "drop-down", what do you mean? The only time I heard of drop-down was with drop-down boxes, where you select items from a list. Is that what you mean? Because you make your reply sound as though as if there is a complete template thing on here for album covers so that you don't have to waste so much time every time like I have? Do you have a perfect example of yours I can use as reference? Another user who helped me suggested I look at Image:HGG.jpg. That one seems fine. Can I use all those rationales for every cover? The seem to cover pretty much everything. -- Dollvalley 13:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Hehe thanks, yes I know, but I can alraedy see that the more you try the faster you'll go towards reaching the top of that steep road. I have seen the drop-down box next to licensing now, it escaped me before, totally. It explains a lot of references that I was not able to find before. However now the choices are infinite. I will continue and try to emulate other examples. One might think that articles about Madonna have been thoroughly checked by her people so i will consider some of her examples. One last question: if you obtain permission from the person to use a photo, how do you proceed? Do you have to state how and when you did, and produce some proof? (I actually emailed the singer in question through her website, as she seems approachable given her relatively niche-d popularity. I haven't been discouraged yet and thank you for the kind support. -- Dollvalley 14:41, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Fisherjs 14:49, 15 March 2007 (UTC)Hi Fisherjs, one last thing. I have prepared scans of lots of singles and am creating articles and learning new things. Since to actually "get" the manual of style here it would take repeated readings, can you direct me to a perfect album or single page? THanks Dollvalley 10:21, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes I prefer to scan my own cds instead of borrowing etc, also I can be 100% sure that what I am tracklisting corresponds to the actul image I'm uploading etc. One thing that I cannot figure out how to add is the table of contents. It is invisbile and yet it's on the page, but now on the edit the page tag. I finished the major edit on the Let The Music Play page and after a couple of minutes the table appeared just like that and I see no other contributors to the page. The singles examples are great, however I am doing articles on semi-unknown singers so to find all the informatio is virtually impossible, so I wil try to find a standard scheme and stick to it so there is some conformity among a singer's pages. Dollvalley 11:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Fisherjs, some idiot has edited the title on the caption of the album Long Hard Funky Dreams to make it sexual adding "oooooh yeaahh!!!". Now, there was no history of this, how is that possible? Dollvalley 15:39, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Yes I kinda know what the history page is, however the only change I saw that was done by someone other than me or you was done to the TALK page, so I thought that was not it. Dollvalley 11:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm glad you have come along. You will note from the article history that the article has previously been hijacked. Good luch in your endeavour! Ohconfucius 02:36, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the wishes Ohc, however, what does hijacked exactly mean used in this context? Dollvalley 09:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah, I see. I think there is still some debate over the different Grace bands that were around. Was that the reason for this? Was is a wikipedia admin/mod decision to lose the "dance act" label? I think that not only does it fit better with what Perfecto's Grace was, but it would help substantially separate the two bands. Dollvalley 09:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi... thanks for your comment re the Sandra album. The second single info is based on the fact that her record comany (Virgin Germany) have mailed out promotional items for the second single. Should the second single not get a release, the info will not doubt be updated. As and when a 3rd single is released, it will be added. InternationalHit2 08:55, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

It's fine to translate pages from other wikis. If it's a copy (and no translation has been done), you can tag it with {{notenglish}}. See Wikipedia:Translation and WP:PNT for more.-- Fisherjs ( talk) 20:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Sorry for being responsible for something you find messy and difficult to understand. :) The reason I did it that way is because every album article needs sufficient reliable sources to verify individual notability per WP:NALBUMS, and I didn't find sufficient sources on each iteration of this album to justify separate articles. If you do, then you're certainly welcome to create individual articles. If the only sourced information you find on a particular release, though, is the track list, these are likely to be merged back according to that guideline.
However, if you don't have additional sourcing, there is an alternative that you might find more aesthetically pleasing. Since I last contributed to the article in October of 2007, I have learned how to "hide" tracklists, which you might find a neater solution. This is sometimes done for titles that have multiple tracklistings for variant releases. For an example of this in action, see the Christina Aguilera album Keeps Gettin' Better: A Decade of Hits. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:18, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I only want to thank you and want you to know that it was a great idea to create articles about Liza Minnelli's albums. I also did this for the German-speaking wikipedia. It's an interesting work! Thank you! And just go on! :) -- Martin G. Wimmer ( talk) 15:41, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
You seem to have basically accused me of a WP:POINT violation here, so I thought I would comment. Whenever I see an article about a single that hasn't charted, won an award, or been covered by other artists (the tests at WP:NSONGS), I redirect it. If I'm reverted by anonymous editors, I tend to take it to semi-protection. If I'm reverted by named editors, I take it to AFD. Doesn't matter whether it's an obscure Bolivian artist or Christina Aquilera: there's no need to ever have an article about an unreleased or uncharted single.— Kww( talk) 14:22, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
Referencing may look daunting, but it's easy enough to do. Here's a guide to getting started. References are important to validate your writing and inform the reader. Any editor can remove unreferenced material, and unsubstantiated articles may end up getting deleted, so when you add something to an article, it's advisable to also include a reference to say from where it came. If you need any assistance, let me know.
A tag has been placed on
Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) (song) requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a
repost of material that was previously deleted following a
deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this:
which appears inside of the speedy deletion (
{{db-...}}

the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use
deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.
