== Don't worry! == | |||
Dear Duran, please, first of all, relax - you won't be blocked from editing. You must understand tho, that the policies that Moe explained to you are a must; copyrighted material is not allowed on our userpages. Also, although it is considered a courtesy not to edit other's userpages, we all do when it comes to enforce said policies, because we don't actually "own" them. I know, when we begin, these rules may be a little hard to grasp; you can read the relevant parts ] and ]. | |||
I happen to know Moe, and trust me when I tell you, he's a good person and friend. It may not have been the best way to approach you, but you must understand that there certain rules we must obey; see for example my own userpage, and you'll observe that all the material included there is free to use under our licenses. Copyright issues are hard to understand at first, so if you have any doubts regarding what can be featured at your userpage, I'll happily assist you beforehand, k, dear? Now again, relax, happy editing, and worry no more! And don't be afraid of Moe, he may be a little grumpy sometimes, but he has one big, golden heart :) Have a wonderful day!

Error: Image is invalid or non-existent. Myself as a albums wikiprojectsHi, For some reason i have been blocked from editing completely everything on wikipedia. I have been a member for over a year now and feel that it is very unfair that i am blocked. Is there any chance thet i can get unbloked? Thank you. DuranDuran 12:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not sure what the message on my talk page was about, but as Durin mentioned above, you have never been blocked. Nor have I ever interacted with you. Nor have I ever described any of your edits as "vandalism". I don't know why you posted on my talk page (the fact that you could post there showed you were not blocked). Sorry, Gwernol 14:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Image:Lebo_mathosa.jpg listed for deletionAn image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Lebo_mathosa.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 13:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC) Why on earth are you going around posting blatant misinformation on all of the Duran Duran pages? The band has stated no such thing, regarding the use of Saxophone on the new album. Instead, they have merely acknowledged a fan's Ask Katy question by answering thus :
Certainly not a confirmation of the use of Andy Hamilton on several songs. As for going from page to page, posting that the albums' working title is "The Music's Between Us". If you are going to post information of a dubious nature on several pages, you would be well advised to post the source of your addition. Adding falsehoods to the Misplaced Pages entries of your favourite band is only going to be damaging to them in he long run. And honestly, I hardly think the band are considering using the song lyrics from the first single off their last album as a title to their new album. Night RunnerIt's a clever cover but when a single's cover is not available,[REDACTED] has a gray cover to be the temporary cover until the actual single cover becomes available.you cant post your own version of single's covers, only the actual one. --Gregxscene 06:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
good luck --Gregxscene
--Gregxscene 19:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC) Fair use images in discographiesThank you for all your work on the Duran Duran discography and other articles. I would like to ask that you please do not add album or single covers to the singles chronology at the bottom of the infoboxes. It is, in fact, part of Misplaced Pages's fair use image policy that these copyrighted covers should not be used anywhere other than the article for that specific musical work: please see the WikiProject Music image guidelines. More generally, you can also look at the Misplaced Pages:Image use policy and Misplaced Pages:Fair use, where it explains that fair use can be claimed for "Cover art from various items, for identification and critical commentary (not for identification without critical commentary)." Discographies and infoboxes do not count as an article or as critical commentary; I learned this myself when I constructed the first singles table for the Duran Duran discography page and was asked to remove the images. You have done beautiful work that would be a shame to dismantle, but the images are not truly necessary to provide information to the readers here -- if they are curious about the cover, they can click through to the article which displays the image in its proper context. Misplaced Pages constantly struggles to balance our need to use clear illustrations with the limits of copyright law and fair use for images. I will be removing the discography images from the Duran Duran article (which is already both well-illustrated and overly long) in the next few days. If you have ideas on how to modify the Duran Duran discography so that it is still attractive but does not use fair use images, please go right ahead! Again, thank you for your work. — Catherine\ 14:56, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Image:Adam ant 2006.jpg listed for deletionDear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:Adam ant 2006.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Misplaced Pages by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Misplaced Pages, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Misplaced Pages needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.If you created this media file and want to use it on Misplaced Pages, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Misplaced Pages, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license. If you have any questions please ask at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you. —Pilotguy (go around) 23:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)re: Duran Duran Discography and "Gloss!"Hi. I did not mean to undermine any hard work you did, but I simply wanted to bring the page to formatting guidelines carried over from WP:CHARTS (i.e. no "#" symbol, no boldfacing chart positions, which the D2 page didn't have anyway, etc). I understand that people want discography pages to look good, but the extra coloring, etc. makes it look too much like a fan page and is not encouraged (I've worked on and witnessed many articles get changed because of things like this, and those only had various shades of gray). As far as the data is concerned, I did not remove any of it except "U.S. Modern Rock" statistics. I don't know where most of that came from, since the Modern Rock Tracks chart did not exist before 1988. I have the reference materials to check those other charts, but at first glance they look to be correct. I was also going to mention all of the album images, but I see you've had a conversation about that already on your Talk Page. Just as an FYI - I do have several discography pages in my watchlist and I have noticed editors and bots going through them recently and removing images, so I suspect a lot more will also have this done, including Duran Duran. - eo 21:48, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
License tagging for Image:JJBK.jpgThanks for uploading Image:JJBK.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, 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 Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 16:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Unspecified source for Image:BabyJane2007.jpgThanks for uploading Image:BabyJane2007.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged. As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Misplaced Pages:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Misplaced Pages:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 17:25, 1 April 2007 (UTC) Copyright issue with Image:BabyJane2007.jpgHello.

I'm just getting ready to move the information in it to a database-style site, which will make it easier to search and sort and find what you're looking for -- part of why I've been procrastinating about updating the 2007 page; that and not enough time in the day. :) The only band member I have met was John, and that was a totally crazy story -- you can see it on my site at http://www.durandurantimeline.com/misc/sugartown.html . :D Maybe someday I will meet the others... As for "Night Runner", welcome to Duran Standard Time! Take any firm date they give you and add at least six months. Once they started working with a new producer it was inevitable that the release dates would get pushed back. I think they're missing their window for a summer tour, which probably means a Christmas release instead. But I wouldn't put anything on any of the Duran pages here until it's confirmed on DD.com -- rumors are great on fansites and message boards, but it shouldn't be here until we've got a reliable source. Best wishes! ~~
re: Wet Wet WetHi there.... I took a look at the Wet Wet Wet page.... not sure exactly what to do just yet, as this page is utilizing the "gallery" method of album images.... I've seen a bunch of pages like this and to my knowledge there is still discussion about how exactly images are being used in discographies and whether they should even be there at all per non-free image use guidelines. Please feel free to read and/or contribute to it here. - eo 18:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

(See Misplaced Pages is not a crystal ball). I didn't recall that some of those tracks were reported in Billboard, which IS a reliable source, so I replaced those in the text of the article, although of course there's a good chance that the songs and/or titles may be different by the time this thing finally sees the light of day. I'd prefer not to have a list at the bottom, because it only encourages people to add rumored or hoax titles to the list. Anyway, while I believe some of the songs reported on various blogs and fansites may be correct, those should not be added here until they're confirmed by the band. This really isn't meant to be the place for "breaking news", it's supposed to be a place to collect what's already known. :) I appreciate your enthusiasm for the band and the album, but try to be patient with "Duran Standard Time". :) — Catherine\ 16:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC) "The Music Between Us"As for where people got the idea that you added it, I'm afraid it's plainly there in your contributions history: see this diff and this one. It's okay to make mistakes. You've learned a lot since you started editing here! :) — Catherine\ 02:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC) Re: Wet Wet Wet editingScanning and cropping images doesn't make them your own. The original copyright is still in place. I'd recommend reading up on Misplaced Pages's image policies, because they treat such violations very seriously apparently. - Dudesleeper · Talk 03:22, 25 April 2007 (UTC) Thats Hot!A tag has been placed on Thats Hot!, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages.

You must understand tho, that the policies that Moe explained to you are a must; copyrighted material is not allowed on our userpages. Also, although it is considered a courtesy not to edit other's userpages, we all do when it comes to enforce said policies, because we don't actually "own" them.

It may not have been the best way to approach you, but you must understand that there certain rules we must obey; see for example my own userpage, and you'll observe that all the material included there is free to use under our licenses. Copyright issues are hard to understand at first, so if you have any doubts regarding what can be featured at your userpage, I'll happily assist you beforehand, k, dear? Now again, relax, happy editing, and worry no more! And don't be afraid of Moe, he may be a little grumpy sometimes, but he has one big, golden heart :) Have a wonderful day!
