Lee, excellent article about Thames Televison. Kingturtle 01:57 May 14, 2003 (UTC)

Thanks! I'll add a few more dates and programme references once I've done the research.

Lee, nice article on ATV, but it's best to leave the piped link to the "Central Independent Television" article - "Central" is basically just a disambiguation page. -- Arwel 19:50 16 May 2003 (UTC)

OK, no problem. I was slightly out on some facts but I've now been put straight. That's why it's a collaborative effort, I guess. You'll also notice I've added logos to a couple of the TV company articles, but it can be surprisingly difficult to find good-quality images of them...

Just wanted to say hi, you're doing some nice work.  :-) best, Koyaanis Qatsi

Thanks. Can get a bit addictive though. Sleep? Never heard of it.

I think most of us have experienced that. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Maybe both--good for the 'pedia, bad for the personal life.  :-) Koyaanis Qatsi

Lee. Hi. Well done on returning the I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue tapes. Unfortunatly I have to point out that due to the "no single author" nature of wikipedia, personal editorial comments are not appropriate for articles and so your comment on the page about returning the tapes will almost certainly be removed. It's something we all learn. Mintguy 02:05 19 May 2003 (UTC)

Oh, well. I was just blowing my own trumpet a bit. Just for the record, I also returned three rare Kenneth Williams shows as well, but the important thing is that the BBC can now lock them away in an airtight vault forever... :-)

lol. I hope you made copies. Mintguy 17:16 19 May 2003 (UTC)

Actually what the BBC do with returned shows is make digital copies for their own use and then give the original back to the owners. So I got my tapes back, and all I have to do now is find something to play them on!!!

This has reminded me of a good article I was going to create but forgot about "Lost episodes". Although perhaps that title might make some people think it's about the after effects of heavy drinking. Anyway it sound like you're an expert on the subject. Mintguy 21:21 19 May 2003 (UTC)

There's an article at wiping which sort of covers this. But it needs a lot of work (and a title change IMHO). Mintguy 17:06 7 Jun 2003 (UTC)

The reason for the "as of" pages can be found on Talk:As of 2003. -- Someone else 06:05 1 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up.

Pleased to be of service<G> - - Someone else 21:50 2 Jun 2003 (UTC)

I see you edited 1895 in literature and others. You might want to consider if it is worthwhile as the person who did 99% of all the work on the years in literature pages from the year 1800 in literature through to 2003 in literature was a banned user by the name of User:Black Widow and who also admitted to being the same person who logged in under 64.228.30.136 or variations on that IP number. According to Wikipedia Administrator User:Jtdirl, this IP and Black Widow are part of a sinister plot to destroy Wikipedia. Please see User:Joe Canuck in this regard because in accordance with the rules of the Wikipedia:Administrators, all edits by this user will be reverted and as such there will be virtually nothing on more than 200 years in literature. Note too, you are ordered not to reinstate any edits made by this user. Good luck, and thanks for participating at our Wikipedia community. ChuckM 00:49 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Hmm. Couple of points: (1) If the "years in literature" pages are meant as disinformation, would it not be possible to have someone go through them and correct any inaccuracies rather than deleting them? (2) I will of course make every effort to comply with the rules, but when you're editing a page you don't always pay much attention to who posted it in the first place.

Thank you for adding Feetlebaum to the List of fictional horses. You've solved two nagging problems for me: first, that I wanted to add Feetlebaum myself but couldn't; second, the reason that I couldn't, that until today I didn't have a clue how Feetlebaum's name was spelt. —Paul A 01:40 27 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Glad to help. BTW, since you happened to remind me of that article, I also happened to think of a few more horses in song, like "A Horse with No Name". Damn, can't get the stupid thing out of my head now. Naa, naa, naa-na-na-na...

UPDATE: I've since learned that it's actually Fietlebaum... Lee M

Lee, when you want to move a page from one title to another, such as you did with The Adventures of Robin Hood to The Adventures of Robin Hood (movie), you don't have to copy-and-paste. You can just use the "Move this page" link. This also keeps the edit history and the talk page intact. CGS 10:33 26 Jul 2003 (UTC).

Yeah, I got the changeover a bit ass-backwards there. I'll try and do it properly if there's a next time.

Hi. I got on your track via Feral children in mythology and fiction (quite excellent) -- but I'm a little concerned with your uses of likely copyrighted images -- Pyrénée, , etc. I like the fact that these are quite small, though. But just to be clear -- anything photos on here must be released to the WP under the GNU FDL, and therefore we editors must have permission to do so from their tm/copyright holders. This is sorta fuzzy though -- I dont want to make a stink. Thanks. -戴&#30505sv 20:45, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)

My feeling is that individual images of book or CD covers, comic panels etc. constitute fair dealing and there shouldn't be any objections. Even so, if there's a problem I will (with great reluctance) remove them.

I added a comic book cover to the Elfquest article but was careful to include their standard copyright disclaimer.

Lee M 01:42, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Since this is a pretty open discussion, and Im curious about the answer, Im going to continue this on the WP:Pump -- maybe there'd be a more concise answer there. -Regards 戴&#30505sv 01:58, Aug 9, 2003 (UTC) PS: On second thought, forget that -- read Wikipedia:Copyrights (using copyrighted material) -- It just calls for a bit more documentation on the process -- its still fuzzy -- but Id suggest raising the issue on VP or on the en:wiki mailing list at some point. Thanks 戴&#30505sv 02:08, Aug 9, 2003 (UTC)

Hi Lee, Re the Alf Garnett series. I checked with the BBC when doing the page on the series. Apparently its correct name is 'til Death Us do Part, written as that (ie., 'til). However technical problems meant they had to drop the ' as it looked like a speck of dirt on the screen. They spent ages screaming at the media "no, it isn't TILL its TIL" but gave up and now some texts use 'til, others til and many Til. The graphics package eventually evolved to use the double ll and in the end even the people associated with the series became confused as to just what the correct name of the series is, but the strictly correct title of the series is til Death Us Do Part, from the marriage vow 'til death do us part. I used the strictly correct name as that was the original name used for the show and and that is how because of that the article is on wiki as. FearÉIREANN 00:56, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Very interesting. Thanks for the clarification. Of course, nowadays "till" is probably a commoner usage than "'til" even if it isn't strictly correct. Lee M 01:51, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)

UPDATE: as I noted in the article, the 2004 DVD is spelt Till Death Us do Part, so the misspelling is widespread. Lee M 03:50, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Since your tube station articles don't actually contain any information, what is the point of them? Why not put them together and work them into an article that says something interesting? Adam 14:31, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

The articles on the London Underground lines have links to every individual station, most of which don't yet have articles. All I'm doing is adding articles about stations I happen to know a bit about, on the basis that every link should have an accompanying article. It's true that these articles don't say much, but in many cases there isn't much that needs to be said except where the stations are in relation to places of interest (e.g. South Kensington tube station), and what lines they're on. Lee M 14:40, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

In that case there shouldn't be a link for each separate station, there should be a list of stations on each line at the main article. Anyone who actually has something interesting to say about a particular station can then create a new page for it. Adam

I guess the real questions here are 1) how deep should links go? See for instance the article on author C. J. Cherryh, which has a link to every book she's written, and none of the links has an article yet. And she's written dozens. 2) What's the smallest amount of information an article can contain and still be useful? Obviously we differ on that point! Lee M 02:36, 26 Oct 2003 (UTC)

UPDATE: Most of the novel links on the Cherryh page have now been removed.

Double redirects

when you move pages (e.g. Hamlet's soliloquoy) please click on "what links here" and fix all double redirects. --Jiang

Oops. OK. Lee M 23:43, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)

And in any case, now academic because the Hamlet's Soliloquy page has been deleted and redirected to Hamlet. Lee M 05:44, 7 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Ainariel Arnatuille played by Bryna Bess?

What is your source for this entry? I can find neither the character nor the actor on Google or Yahoo, and the actor is not recorded on IMDB. Phil 11:48, Dec 19, 2003 (UTC)

Um, sorry, I wasn't responsible for that piece of info. All I know is, the character isn't listed in the Glossary of LOTR or Robert Foster's Complete Guide to Middle-earth, so she must have been invented by the filmmakers. Lee M 01:04, 21 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Oh. Well ... the reason I asked you is that you appear twice in the Page History out of a total of 5 edits. The first two were anonymous and the fifth added the VFD notice. You were the natural choice to ask. Phil 08:16, Dec 22, 2003 (UTC)

Image permission

Hi. Do you have permission under GFDL to use Image:Pyrenee-sm.jpg on Wikipedia? RedWolf 17:25, Jan 1, 2004 (UTC)

Ahem. This subject has come up before... I consider it to be fair use as it's a single panel from a comic, and also a very small reproduction. Some French comic sites have reproduced bigger panels (with more explicit nudity, which I deliberately avoided) or even entire pages.... If there are any serious objections I'll remove the image and replace it with the cover, since book covers almost certainly do count as fair use. Lee M 18:48, 1 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Zero-byte images

Hello; I just deleted three images you uploaded back in June and July 2003, because they were zero bytes. They were:

• Image:Stingraytv.jpg, which had the caption Stingray (TV show): DVD box set cover
• Image:Stingray-tv.jpg, which had the caption Stingray (TV show) DVD box set cover depicting the submarine and some of the cast. See relevant page for details.
• Image:Shata-s.png, which had the caption Cover from Shasta and the Wolves by Olaf Baker. Replacement for previous image, smaller and brightened slightly for clarity. See Feral children in mythology and fiction.

It's quite possible you already re-uploaded them or know about the upload errors, but I thought I'd let you know just in case. --Delirium 09:44, Feb 17, 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I originally screwed up trying to upload the images, but I managed to get it right eventually! Thanks anyway... Lee M 20:16, 17 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Cheddar

This is such a minor point but I couldn't resist telling you. The Cheddar pic is far from empty, it has 7 people and 5 cars (admittedly, not exactly the summer jam-up!). Best Wishes, 82.33.96.38 07:47, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I must confess I was originally just looking at the small picture...! Incidentally, just how old is the photo? The cars look a bit old-fashioned... Lee M 18:13, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Banners and LOTR

Hello Lee M, your article on The Lord of the Rings radio adaptation got me thinking. (This is my first attempt at adding information to wikipedia). One of the differences between the BBC version and the book you list is "Aragorn receives a black standard from Arwen as a sign that he should rouse the army of the dead. In the book the standard is that of the White Tree of Gondor."

I suppose this is in reference to the line "And with that he bade Halbarad unfurl the great standard which he had brought; and behold! it was black, and if there was any device upon it, it was hidden in the darkness." This appears both in the book and the radio series so I don't see there is any disagreement. Any thoughts? Am I posting this info to the correct page?

Also

Regards, Tim --TimSC 13:06, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hmm...I must admit I'd forgotten that particular reference...but then in ROTK Book 1 chapter 6 there's another reference to the banner: "There flowered a White Tree, and that was for Gondor; but the seven stars were about it....And the stars flamed in the sunlight, for they were wrought of gems by Arwen, daughter of Elrond..."

Obviously it's that passage that I was thinking of, and there's no reference to the White Tree at all in the BBC version. Assuming it's the same standard, and there's no reason not to, then presumably it was either wreathed in shadow in the earlier scene, or more likely enchanted so that it would only show its true colours when needed. Either way, I admit that the radio series article needs revising. If you don't mind, I'll include this correspondence on the article's Talk page for clarification.

Anyway, thanks for bringing it up... Lee M 02:04, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Alphabetisation

It's not the fault of the category. It's the fault of the people who put categories onto the articles and forgot to write them as Name of the Article, The. If you want, you can get a start on going through and fixing everything. :) -- Grunt (talk) 01:36, 2004 Aug 29 (UTC)

Hey Lee I was peddling as fast as I could!

I was in the middle of creating a major expansion on the subject of Pirate Radio when you made your comments. Just to let you know I have put in hours on this project during the last few days and I have not completed what I set out to do. I also created discussion pages for each of the expansions to let everyone know that I am working on it. You said that it needed work, well I may be getting to it. But just in case you can see something that I can't, what exactly did you have in mind? You did not say. MPLX/MH 23:19, 30 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Ahem. It was just a general comment, the sort of throwaway remark I'm always adding to my comments - didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. I'll check back in a few days and see if there's anything useful I can add to the article. Lee M 01:39, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Not ruffled! I really was right in the middle of it at that moment. Thanx MPLX/MH 15:14, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Roykirk

Thanks for the correction on The Changeling (Star Trek). Wasn't sure if his name was Roykirk or Roy Kirk, like a synopsis I used as a guide spelled his name. Cyberia23 20:38, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Well, I was able to check it on [1] - the horse's mouth, so to speak. Lee M 00:27, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Just FYI -- I know it says Roykirk on the "official site", but when Mr. Spock shows the slide of Nomad's creator he clearly says, "Jackson...Roy...Kirk. Brilliant, but erratic..." So I've been making repairs in the error, error, error, and increasing the efficiency. BCorr|Брайен 02:02, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

I've got all three series of TOS on DVD, but I watched Season Three first and haven't yet got to Season Two...Lee M 02:39, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

I've never seen Roy Kirk used anywhere. Official sources including novelizations all use "Roykirk". 23skidoo 05:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Uluru images

Lee, you have tagged the excellent image of Uluru at dusk but not the other two used in the Uluru article. I'm forever being chased up on tagging images so thought I would pass on a bit of "chase up" to you. Cheers Tiles 04:53, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• Hi Lee - User:Pmurray bigpond.com has suggested at Talk:Uluru#photos that the photos on the Uluru page might have been taken by him and not used with permission. In the context of his comment I assume he is talking about the image of warning signs - he obviously needs to clarify. On the image page you assert that the image was taken by you. It is a very serious accusation and hence my drawing it to your attention. Regards--AYArktos 09:53, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for drawing this to my attention. I've posted a reply on the Uluru talk page. Lee M 10:10, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Seems the matter has now been settled and I'm happy to call it quits - see the aforementioned talk page for Pmurray bigpond's response. Lee M 21:57, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Adminship

Recently I did some analysis of contribution history for Wikipedia, the fruits of which are at Wikipedia:Another list of Wikipedians in order of arrival. As I reviewed the list, I noted that there are about a dozen longtime contributors who have not been made administrators. You are one of them. Accordingly, I would like to nominate you for adminship, with your permission. If you would appreciate such a nomination, please let me know on my talk page. If you do wish to decline, a note so saying would also be appreciated, though not necessary. Kindest regards, The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:45, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

On what grounds are you an authority on Robot fetishism? How exactly do you know so much about such an obscure subject?

Well, actually I'm more into statue and mannequin fetishism (statuephilia), but it's all just three sides of the same coin really. How do I know so much about it? I've always been into statues and immobility, and when I first got connected to the internet I was delighted to learn that there was a whole online community who shared my interest. If you care to research the subject further, here's a page linking to lots of related sites:

Arthur C. Clarke's list of the best science fiction films

Lee -- Thanks for adding those links to the actual films themselves.

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}}. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. -- Ram-Man 20:44, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

Unverified images

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

• Image:Iqwake-sm.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 22:11, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at User:Yann/Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

thumb|right|250pxI have now replaced this image with a bigger one (500 x 500): and added a thumbnail version (250 x 250, same as here) on the IQ (band) page. I've given the bigger image a {{verifieduse}} tag. I've done the same with a few other album covers.

However, I've since seen tags claiming that low resolution album cover images are permissible. Just how low is low? Just not big enough to be interesting? Seriously: some guidelines on the exact tag to use for album covers, together with a ruling on the maximum permissible size, would be a considerable help here.

In the event that I have to delete the big image I'll have to re-link the small one and tag it then... Lee M 00:40, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Sci-Fi

I noticed your objection to the use of "sci-fi" in the Thunderbirds article. I have to disagree with you in your assertion that, as a slang word, it is not a "proper word". Many slang words are proper words, especially after they have been accepted by the general public. As I stated in the Discussion page for Thunderbirds, it's more a matter of how the word is applied. In the case of sci-fi (note article), it was a term coined in the 1950s. I know Isaac Asimov was against it, and it is certainly used incorrectly often, but then again so is "science fiction". However, as the Wikipedia article correctly states, it is not slang but rather an abbreviation. All this said, if you want to try and discourage its use in Wikipedia, you might want to put a note up regarding this at the Village Pump. Maybe it can be added to the list of things people can be on the look out to correct. I've seen it used on many other pages. Cheers! 23skidoo 03:51, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Jack Gaughan and Witch World

• May I ask what is so disorganized about the Witch World bibliography? The books really are all over the place as Miss Norton explains in the essay I linked to. I do appreciate being rewritten (though there was a vague phrase in Planetary Romance which I could and did refer to a lot of bibliographical references to to defend when it was cut). More specifics would be appreciated.
• Much of my information about Jack Gaughan comes from the first Noreascon, the first World Fantasy Convention, and various Boskones in between where I met him and saw various of his covers and Galaxy Magazine illustrations for sale. Naturally I'm usually very careful about not putting in anything unless I have something lying around the house or can document it otherwise. Since you are so particular about his Tolkien contributions I put in some of his other design work. Unfortunately, I purged my Galaxy collection several moves ago, and there was this very impressively designed story by Harlan Ellison and someone else I can't find mentioned anywhere even (yes I tried the locus database) which after its Galaxy publication was printed in Partners in Wonder. I'm out in the sticks right now and my resources are limited. If you could track it down I'd appreciate it.Jplatt39 13:39, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Teacher's Pet

Hi there. Good to see another new comic strip article on Wikipedia, specifically Teacher's Pet (Cor!!), but does it really need a spoiler warning? The plot was basically the same every week, so there's theoretically nothing in the article that could spoil it for the readers. BillyH 02:51, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Good point, but I've got into the habit of adding a spoiler warning whenever I list any plot details. Just seems like good practice. Lee M 02:53, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I'm quite sure I read that Swann died of cancer, but I don't have the article to hand at the moment. I certainly don't recall hearing about any car crash. If I can uncover the biography I'll be able to confirm it. Lee M 12:34, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

lots of edits, not an admin

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins. If you're at all interested in becoming an admin, can you please add an '*' immediately before your name in this list? I've suggested folks nominating someone might want to puruse this list, although there is certainly no guarantee anyone will ever look at it. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:23, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

This isn't the first time my name has been put in the hat. I'm extremely flattered, but as I believe I mentioned before, I don't really think I have the expertise to be an admin. Lee M 18:37, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Link in London 2012 article

Lee, good sir- the webpage in question was updated yesterday? Why do think its an inactive website? At any rate, it contains a good deal of archived information and news articles. Thanks, Fernando Rizo 9 July 2005 04:47 (UTC)

Sorry - I got a dead link when I tried it. Presumably that was just a temporary glitch. I'll try and be a bit more patient in future. Lee M 9 July 2005 14:29 (UTC)

By The Saints: or, Will "The Saints" Go Marching Out??? (Answer: Yes)

My article on the webcomic By The Saints is being considered for deletion on the grounds that the comic is "non-notable". This to me shows up a fundamental weakness in the webcomic guidelines: namely that a promising newcomer can't get an article if it doesn't have enough readers. Ironically, I suspect that a webcomic with an article is likely to gain more readers as WP users click through out of curiosity.

The reason I wrote the article in the first place is that I consider BTS a Most Likely To Succeed in the current crop of webcomics. Whether or not the article is deleted, five years from now we'll see who was right.Lee M 23:43, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

Article now deleted. I will try not to let my wounded pride influence my opinion. Nevertheless, I do get the impression that there's a handful of people who spend a lot of time trawling webcomic articles looking for candidates for deletion. I do think the deletion policy is overzealous and obviously I feel it was misapplied in this case. I will be reviewing this comic's Alexa ranking and Google hits carefully over the coming months and years in the expectation of being able to repost the article.Lee M 23:46, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

signal spelling

• Differential signaling
• High-voltage differential signalling
• Low voltage differential signaling
• signalling
• signaling

I suspect the correct spelling is "signalling" with 2 "LL", in analogy with "run -> running". But I thought I'd check in with someone on your side of the pond before changing all these articles. (My dictionary does *not* support my suspicions -- it lists *both* spellings.) (This isn't one of those UK vs. US controversies, is it? http://www.sfs.gr/en/dfr7.html claims that "In USA, the term 'Railroad signalling' is used (with two 'l'), while in the UK the term 'Railway signaling' is used (with one 'l')." while http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwesl/egw/jones/differences.htm claims the exact opposite -- that American English uses "one L signaling" while British English uses "two LL signalling". I'm not sure what Wikipedia:List of spelling variants has to say about it. ) --DavidCary 22:52, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

An image or media file you uploaded, Image:Nhm-sm.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia: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.

Image source/licensing for Image:Bronowski-sm.jpg

The image you uploaded, Image:Bronowski-sm.jpg, has no source information. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Unless the copyright status is provided, the image will be marked for deletion on 24 October 2005.

Hello LM

thanks for helping clean up the Frederick MacMonnies crossfire, but it is not over yet. Unfortunately the page that remains, Frederick William Macmonnies has his name wrong. It should be "MacMonnies." I would fix it but do not know how to change titles of articles. Perhaps yopu do? Carptrash 01:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC) PS if this works out perhaps we can take a look at E.W. Marland too?

The problem here is that apart from the initial letter, entry titles don't seem to be case-sensitive. Normally you'd retitle an entry using the Move function, but the system doesn't recognise Macmonnies and MacMonnies as being separate and so assumes you're trying to move the entry to the same place, which can't be done. I definitely think this one requires some Admin assistance. Lee M 02:33, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

List of anti-heroes

I just want to inform you that the article List of anti-heroes was deleted today after being listed on VfD. I am not sure if you knew it was listed or not, or if you care or not. I felt, since you had participated as a contributor on the article that you should know.

I was wondering if the image of Pallas' album cover The Sentinel you scanned could be used again on Patrick Woodroffe's article page as an example of his work (Woodroffe painted it)? PJB 12:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely, no problem. Images get recycled here all the time anyway. (PS added a link to the Pallas article)

The Hobbit (1968 radio series) looks great!

Hi there. I've just stumbled across The Hobbit (1968 radio series). I think it looks great! I don't have much to add, but have gladly added it to the existing category scheme, putting it in Category:Middle-earth adaptations. If you create any more articles like this (there isn't one for the 2003 Hobbit game yet...), could you add suitable categories. Thanks. Carcharoth 10:40, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

PS. I thought your name looked familiar! I remember 'meeting' you here at one of the other radio series articles. Would you have time to look at The Lord of the Rings (1955 radio series) and see if you can add anything there? Thanks. Carcharoth 10:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Pyrcov.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pyrcov.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

I don't understand the objection here. It's a corporate logo and the boilerplate for corporate logos clearly states:

It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos to illustrate the television station, network, corporation, or other organization in question on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law.

Portalofevil.com Page Deletion

The page has been in the wikipedia for a pretty long time, why did you delete it? What site was mentioned on poe that was dear to you? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cheznoir (talk • contribs) 02:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC).

Ahh the truth is discovered. Lee M was a member on poe, someone on the forum, not a site owner said something to him he didn't like so he retaliated. Good work! Just shows what a joke wikipedia is.

The above posts seem to imply that I deleted the POE page because I disagreed with something POE said to or about me or my friends. Not that it didn't, but I COULD NOT HAVE DELETED THE PAGE BECAUSE I AM NOT A WIKIPEDIA ADMIN. I actually disagreed with the deletion! Don't go making false accusations.

Unspecified source for Image:Dark-crystal-dvd.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Dark-crystal-dvd.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 Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 03:17, 18 May 2007 (UTC).

Radio North Sea International

Hi, Lee. Last November, you edited the Edwin Bollier article and added some interesting details about the pirate radio station, Radio North Sea International (RNI), that he owned in the 1970s. We know from Bollier's evidence at the Pan Am Flight 103 bombing trial that he sold the RNI radio ship to Libya (see Trial told of bomb timer links). Your edit said that Mebo II was "allegedly" used for military target practice in the Gulf of Sidra. Can you source this allegation please?Phase4 11:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, Lee M. RICHARD GEOFFREY ASHTON along with Johnde517Mol, KarlDoenitz, Roderick Dadak, Tunbridgewellpsychopath and Sarahdarling have all recently vandalised Radio North Sea International, and are all sock puppets of the indefinitely banned Deathwatch2006. Any further nonsense from any of them, and a sympathetic administrator should be requested to ban the lot of 'em.Phase4 21:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I just posted a comment on Phase 4's Talk Page. We do seem to have a problem. I have disagreed on the discussion page that the material which long post-dates the closure of the station should be in the RNI article, but three of us at least seem to be editing in good faith. Is it time to approach an administrator about the other stuff?KD Tries Again 21:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)KD

Fair use rationale for Image:Lw79.gif

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lw79.gif.

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.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Album-cover-the-visitor-by-arena.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Album-cover-the-visitor-by-arena.jpg. 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 may 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) 05:39, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Atomium-sm.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Atomium-sm.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 13:18, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Indigo and Asimov

Would you happen to have an idea where I might go looking for a source for this statement that Asimov suggested that indigo should not be regarded as a colour in its own right? It certainly sounds like the sort of thing he might have said, but most of the online sources I can find seem to trace back to our article. I am guessing maybe one of his books of collected essays from the 1970s or 1980s or something like that? I know this is a five year old edit, so no worries if you have no paricular insight into what you were thinking then. Regards, - 2/0 (cont.) 17:06, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Uluru image

Hi Lee, back on 25 August 2003 you uploaded the file Ulurudusk.jpg, which was later moved to Commons:File:Uluru.jpg. That description page was showing some issues with the license, so when I tracked back the original upload, I noticed that you never applied a license, but that User:Trilobite applied the {{GFDL}} license in September 2004. I just wanted to know if that was an acceptable license to you, or if something else should be applied, or the image deleted. Thanks for your help! — Huntster (t @ c) 02:25, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

A discussion has begun about whether the article The Wotch, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Wotch until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 18:18, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Clive Nolan

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Clive Nolan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 19:28, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

The text of the article was a clear copyvio of http://www.clivenolan.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&Itemid=29 . I suggest that you take this up with the admin who deleted it or ask for review at WP:DELREV, but I will counsel you that it is very unlikely that a copyvio will be restored, even to user space. Probably best to start over.  – ukexpat (talk) 15:50, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Osgiliath

The article Osgiliath has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This is yet another article about a relatively little-mentioned, esoteric and/or completely fictional topic in the Lord of the Rings series. There can be no sources other than the Lord of the Rings books themselves or sources that paraphrase or interpret the book, and thus this article is neither notable nor has more than one possible source. This article may belong on another wiki, or should be merged with the other similar ones into one "List of places in Lord of the Rings" (or similar) article. See WP: LOTR Notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Interchange88 ☢ 20:00, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Blank Label Comics requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Tales of Beatrix

The article Tales of Beatrix has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Article contains no sources to prove its existence; fails WP:GNG and WP:NFICT.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Copying within Wikipedia requires proper attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Tales of Beatrix into Taral Wayne. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was moved, attribution is not required. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:15, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Doniago. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Citizen Kane, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Pangaea Ultimania corrected.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Pangaea Ultimania corrected.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pirate radio: WP:RS sources vs. your recollection

Hi Lee. Could you cite a source for this? Your edit directly contradicted the cited source, so we'd need a new source for that sentence. Cheers, - LuckyLouie (talk) 13:43, 13 December 2023 (UTC)

Well, the cited source is dead wrong and seems to be anecdotal. I might suggest for starters the Pirate Radio Hall of Fame's 60s timeline. https://www.offshoreradio.co.uk/hist04.htm If I think of a better one I'll add it. Lee M (talk) 01:38, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

Yeah I've removed the exact number from the paragraph since it really isn't needed to get the gist across. You may want to contact Hugh Chignell at the Media School and Sage Publishing to let them know their error and refer them to your website. The book source is still used to cite the other info in the paragraph, so I left it in. - LuckyLouie (talk) 15:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
