Fair use rationale for File:London_falling_1_6.jpeg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:London_falling_1_6.jpeg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Closedmouth (talk) 08:12, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

Article of the month – List of valkyrie names in Norse mythology In Norse mythology, a valkyrie is one of a host of female figures who choose which warriors will win or die in battle. The valkyries bring their chosen who have died bravely in battle to the afterlife hall of the slain, Valhalla, ruled over by the god Odin, where the deceased warriors become einherjar. There, when the einherjar are not preparing for the events of Ragnarök, the valkyries bear them mead. Valkyries also appear as lovers of heroes and other mortals, where they are sometimes described as the daughters of royalty, sometimes accompanied by ravens, and sometimes connected to swans.

2000 AD (comics) queries

• Page Friday (comics) says that Friday (comics) met Judge Dredd in an issue-length story (Judge Dredd: "Casualties Of War" (by John Wagner and John Higgins, in 2000 AD #900, 1994)) and the Rogue Trooper ("Blue on Blue" (by Steve White and Henry Flint, in 2000 AD #928-931, 1995)). In summary, what happened in those stories? Is there anywhere where I can get to see those stories? (I am in Manchester in England.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:39, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Merger proposal

As someone who has edited Horror comics, you may have an opinion on a merger proposal being discussed on its talk page. --Tenebrae (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Correction and Comment. ItsLassieTime was NOT banned for plagiarism. She was banned for socking. Three years ago, ITL was first blocked, then blocked indefinitly, then banned permanently for socking. ITL is now a ban evader writing GA articles for Wikipedia. In November 2010, she had an article passed at FA as "Susanne" something or other. She then submitted another article for FA review and it was discovered then that she was a sock. She was banned again as a sock/ban evader -- not as a plagiarist. Tenebrae is now rewriting one of her early articles "Horror comics in the United State, 1946-1954. First, Tenebrae should gather the sources ITL used to build the article and methodically go through the article revising passages that are too closely paraphrased from the original source. Essentially, the job is to put some distance between the article passage and the cited source. This is a very simple process. He is not doing this. Instead, he is writing a new article using his own sources. Secondly, he needs to record the changes he makes at this artiicle at the appropriate listing at CCI to prevent other editors from picking up the article for revision and to alert those who are managing this list that work is being done on this article. Thirdly, he is using very questionalbe sources. The business about the Japanese scrolls is cited to two Japanese museums. Neither of these museums posit any connection between the ghost scrolls and the western horror comic book. None whatsoever. One could just as easily say comic books are descendants of Greek vase paintings depicting gorgons and sphinxes. The passage in the article is actually a "fringe theory" of Stephen Bissette, a cartoonist whose only education is a two year cartooning course at a vocational school in New York City. Wikipedia does not publish fringe theories. Bissette is not a scholar, although he presents himself as one. Tenebrae cites him to some weird sort of promotional blurb that offers a movie of Bissette "lecturing" on horror comics. There's some sort of fee involved. What ever this business is, it is not a reliable, scholarly source. And the sad fact is this entire article could be sourced to reliable, scholarly sources from academic presses rather than these unscholarly, "fanboy" type things that are out of print and difficult to locate. I hope some others will get on this case about this. DoverWheels (talk) 14:35, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Emp. Since DoverWheels, or whatever this now-blocked editor is calling him/herself now, is speaking about me behind my back and not on my talk page, I hope you won't mind my alerting you that I've responded to these claims and accusations at User talk:DoverWheels#Attempted ban . Thanks, and I hope I'm not being a bother. --Tenebrae (talk) 19:33, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

GA Review for G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics)

Hello, I know that you are extremely busy, but if you have the time, please check out this discussion, on the proposed reassessment of G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics) as a GA-class article. The discussion there has gotten heated, because of a debate about sources, and the GAR was proposed while a peer review is still in progress. I would appreciate you giving your opinion as to what can be done. Thanks! Fortdj33 (talk) 12:55, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Hungarian Comics

Hi!

Sorry for nagging you with this article, but I thought you might help. About 2 years ago you checked the article above (checked against B-class) and gave me some advises on future editing. I took your advises and besides them made some major changes with the article (completely rewritten the current scene chapter, restructured references and notes, etc.) At the moment I think the article reached a stage where it would need some outsiders point of view on how to make it better, what are its flaws, could it reach a better class, etc. I listed it at request for review. I haven't received any answers there, so I don't know if that's a working solution. Anyhow, I'd be happy if some comics project editors could check it out. Thanks!

Non-Free rationale for File:JLA-100-08.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:JLA-100-08.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
