[edit] Notable
I fail to see how The Green (Dartmouth College), which is "a grass-covered field and common space" is notable. Are you saying people who have been written about/potrayed on film/cited as being a strong influence are not notable, and a playground/lawn is? --andreasegde (talk) 14:26, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] FAC
As I have brought up one of your comments from a GA Review, I feel it's appropriate to mention that I have referenced your GA Review here: Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/The Thriving Cult of Greed and Power. Specifically, your comments about the free-use images currently used in the article. Cirt (talk) 15:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC).
- Responded to your comment at the FAC page, as did another editor. Some specific clarification or suggestion as to how to implement your recommendation would be helpful. Cirt (talk) 12:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC).
[edit] goodbye
Because of overzealous attacks against me by Jehochman, I will no longer be editing the three articles that I was working towards FA status nor Congo articles. Jehochman went on a rampage RFCU. His RFCU claims were disproven and according to another user, he lied about the category.
WP:SOCK#LEGIT allows multiple accounts for segregation and security. The multiple accounts edited separate articles.
A multiple account was necessary because of the controversial nature of User:Profg. Editing about him would bring stalkers to the 3 FA contenders. Edits about User:Profg were never meant to defend him but to point out things that the community was overlooking. The community shouldn’t overlook everything that a user says simply because he is bad. One member of the community said he was seeking a ban just to make it easier to accuse others. These is a diabolical scheme.
What good does is exposing User:HappyBirthdayClubMember? That’s like exposing the identity of Santa Claus. Congolese fufu (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Downgrade of Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy article
- Dear Kane, I note that you recently downgraded Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy from "mid" to "low" on the Project Dartmouth importance scale. I'm unfamiliar with the basis for such assessments. Could you steer me to the guidance on which they are made? Sincerely,--User:HopsonRoad 15:18, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification, Kane. That's why I asked, rather than reverted! Sincerely,--User:HopsonRoad 20:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Dredg logo.svg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dredg logo.svg. 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) 09:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fantastic FAs
Congrats on your many Dartmouth FAs! Fantastic and impressive work. I'm a Dartmouth alum (T'97) and just wanted to drop by and say hello and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hannah Montana Logo.PNG
Thanks for uploading Image:Hannah Montana Logo.PNG. 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.BetacommandBot (talk) 23:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] I applied to Dartmouth
Hey Kane5187, I recently applied to Dartmouth. I have never been there, but I've heard its wonderful. I have seen the surrounding area of Hanover (surely called Hangover by yourself - not that I drink, for that would be illegal!), and I love the park across the river, the idea of a summer sophomore bonding term, and its cultural diversity. However, I am curious about your experiences? How do you like it? Also, is the 40k a year really worth it? What 'bang' do you get for each 'buck'? Why pay 40k to Dartmouth whereas you probably could have gotten a full ride to a semi-good state school? Thanks Niyant (talk) 04:19, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Big Green
Thanks. I only recently found out the difference (New Hampshire's attempt to make a public university adn to regulate the private Dartmouth College). Mandsford (talk) 21:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FailureBand.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FailureBand.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Andrew c [talk] 16:22, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:LouisRamey.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:LouisRamey.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 11:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Michigan State Spartans logo.svg
A tag has been placed on Image:Michigan State Spartans logo.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Gary King (talk) 18:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't create the version at the Commons; it's been there for months. Also, I've seen precedence with this type of image, such as at Image:Facebook.svg and Image:Microsoft wordmark.svg, to name a few. Especially in this case, it's basically a big, green letter S, and therefore the argument is that it is such a simple image that it can even be reproduced by mistake and therefore does not allow the original creator to sue any copiers because of that. Gary King (talk) 19:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AlienAntFarm GreatestHits.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:AlienAntFarm GreatestHits.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 22:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
