The article The Hills Have Eyes (band) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.
Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for 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. NawlinWiki 01:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Coupland.jpg
[edit]![Replaceable fair use](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Coupland.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) (random) 21:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Image source problem with Image:51351535.JPG
[edit]![Image Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/35/Information_icon.svg/62px-Information_icon.svg.png)
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:51351535.JPG. 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, 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, 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}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. 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: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 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 Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Regarding adding non-free images to articles
[edit]I have reverted your additions of non-free images to articles where free equivalents exist (ie. Attack in Black, Alexisonfire). violates . #1 of Wikipedia's policy on non-free content states no free equivalent must exist. Secondly, 10a and 10c state it must have "Attribution of the source of the material", and "a separate fair-use rationale for each use of the item" must be provided, respectively. I know they look nice, but Wikipedia must strive to be a FREE encyclopedia. Cheers. -- Reaper X 19:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Duplicate images uploaded
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Fortress cover 2.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Fortresscover.jpg. The copy called Image:Fortresscover.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.
This is an automated message- you have not upset or annoyed anyone, and you do not need to respond. In the future, you may save yourself some confusion if you supply a meaningful file name and refer to 'my contributions' to remind yourself exactly which name you chose (file names are case sensitive, including the extension) so that you won't lose track of your uploads. For tips on good file naming, see Wikipedia's image use policy.

Fortress (Protest the Hero album)
[edit]Your changes to the Fortress article are appreciated, but I did have to undo one of the edits. National flags should not be used in article infoboxes unless absolutely relevant to the topic at hand, especially when you can just as easily substitute with a country's name. See the Manual of Style. Too many flags are messy and unnecessary. Just thought I'd clear that up. --...Wikiwøw. 14:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Link targets must not be copyright violations
[edit]Greetings! I see that you added a link to the "official" video for "Waiting..." to the Bring Me Your Love article. However, the video is hosted as YouTube, and on prior investigation, the video was found to not be in compliance with Wikipedia copyright guidelines. Accordingly, the link has been deleted.
Please do not re-add the link to YouTube. If the video is official, a better link target would be the band's official page - but that link should be in the band's article, not the album's. —C.Fred (talk) 18:00, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
When adding links to material on an external site, as you did to Bring Me Your Love, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
- If the linked site is the copyright holder, leave a message explaining the details on the article Talk page;
- If a note on the linked site credibly claims permission to host the material, or a note on the copyright holder's site grants such permission, leave a note on the article Talk page with a link to where we can find that note;
- If you are the copyright holder or the external site administrator, adjust the linked site to indicate permission as above and leave a note on the article Talk page;
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. You have been warned for this previously. Further addition of the link may result in your accout being blocked. —C.Fred (talk) 04:38, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:RM 300.JPG
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RM 300.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. — Save_Us † 17:48, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Dallas Green.jpg
[edit]![Image Copyright problem](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Hi Gabriel Surette!
We thank you for uploading Image:Dallas Green.jpg, but there is a problem. Your image is currently missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Unless you can help by adding a copyright tag, it may be deleted by an Administrator. If you know this information, then we urge you to add a copyright tag to the image description page. We apologize for this, but all images must confirm to policy on Wikipedia.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks so much for your cooperation.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:AIB.jpg)
[edit] Thanks for uploading Image:AIB.jpg. 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.
