File:DisraeliGears.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. 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) 05:08, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Is it okay for an editor to add a link under "External links" section to their personal (non-commercial) website?
For example, say I put up a webpage with photos I took of the Grateful Dead and added that link to a GD-related article on Wikipedia, that would be allowed, yes? Marcia Wright ( talk) 14:16, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Beretta92FS.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion 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.

On the Live at the Boarding House page, I saw that you changed the record label to Acoustic Oasis. I checked on the Rhapsody page, and that has the record label as Acoustic Disc. Do you know of any reason for the difference? Also on the Acoustic Disc website, it is listing a future project: AcousticOasis.com, however, this web page is not up and running. Moorematthews ( talk) 21:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
The sensible thing to do would be to create a page for Acoustic Oasis, but, there is not a lot of information about it. From looking at the Acoustic Disc website I could only find two other albums with the Acoustic Oasis label. I doubt that there are any wiki articles about those two albums. If one goes to AcousticOasis.com, they will find a web page that is meaningless. I say leave the label as Acoustic Oasis and then either create an Acoustic Oasis page or change the Acoustic Disc page to include Acoustic Oasis as a subsidiary of Acoustic Disc.

Where do you go to get this info? The reason I ask is a User talk:Drummercafe changed a certain date (which I reverted back) of a certain artist, and it might just be sneaky vandalism, but on the other hand, I would look real foolish if I e-mailed this certain person and asked to verify his birthdate directly and it was indeed April 7th and not May 7th.!!
Saving Face, :)

Here's just one mention of Beatle ice cream - there were likely dozens if not hundreds more (though most of these were, of course, from small regional producers - and probably not exactly original flavors). I'd be interested if Cherry Garcia did in fact turn out to be B&J's most popular flavor of ice cream. It's surely one of their "mainstay" speciality flavors (up there with Phish Food), but typically vanilla and chocolate are the top two sellers by a landslide, regardless of company or region.

What's the problem with putting up a picture of the 2004 Dead for the Grateful Dead? Obviousely they are different but that's why the caption clearly stated "SURVIVING MEMBERS of the Grateful Dead performing in 2004. I just think the article looks incomplete without some kind of picture and since wikipedia makes it very difficult to use photos and the "The Dead" photo was released into the public domain why not use it to represent the band, it does have 4 former members performing and there used to be a picture up there with just Mickey and Jerry, which is only 2 members. Representing the Grateful Dead with a photo of The Dead is better than not having a photo at all, especially since the subtitle mentioned that it was not the full Grateful Dead. 68.191.41.119 ( talk) 02:28, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
Cocaine is a good hyperlink to keep in that many wikipedia users click from one subject to the next to educate themselves. Removing it is not needed and any attempt to help users navigate the site to learn more about various subjects is important. Donmike10 ( talk) 04:42, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I almost took it out, but I'd rather defer to you the more experienced editor. regards Marcia Wright ( talk) 05:01, 27 June 2009 (UTC) :) It'll come up on your watchlist so I don't need to specify the article. Thats now my almost every day comment " got a footnote for that?" Cheers
Hi, Mudwater! I meant it, when I asked you to teach me to do things properly. I originally came to the Wikipedia to improve on my writing and referencing.. well, research skills. They were once impeccable.. (laughing)-- ..really! When I was, ah, 15-17, in college! (I don't do LOL well.. it has lost too much of it's meaning). But also, I have no computer smarts, & no truly personal help learning this stuff- just learned how to type within the last decade! Yeah. But most of the 1980s and 1990s even, are *fuzzy*. (the asterisk connotates alternative states of consciousness. ;) Lately, it appears that I'm using up a lot of time on other people's talk sheets which I admit is a bummer for us all, since people don't usually contact me on mine unless they want to complain. Working easily 7-12 hours most days on either the Wikipedia or other places- looking for photos- on all kinds of articles gets me under a lot of noses, usually those who don't want to "share" their article, and are totally new to the WP. Trying to talk professional photographers into giving up their copyrights in exchange for GFDL regulated photo status has left me building infoboxes and adding photos most of the time, and usually, once I find a photo I'm looking for there are often curious other ones, which I check in the WP here, and find we're missing too. That's how I come upon so many articles that are a mess, generally, unreferenced, no listas parameters, infoboxes, photos, lots of Peacock writing, etc. So before I can show these kind people that have given us their photos, I try to add at least add some sections, and a reference, and clean it up a bit. That's how I came upon the John Molo article which was lacking in references, I thought. That is how I came to bump into your article-and so I have some questions. OK? Most articles have an Intro, then the biography, equipment used by the artists and personal life, acheivements, discography, current work, or a section on how they died, and their legacy--not necessarily in that order. Then usually, there are references, and external links. What is the difference between those last two I mentioned and the Notes section you placed? Do Notes mean References? And, if editors on articles use different menthods of citing refs, (either putting the <ref> tags or using the cite button, does it mean that two reference sections would be required or how would that work? It's a little confusing for me, there, on the really long and glutted articles, like Peter Gabriel. Anyway, I've taken up enough space for now, but can I come and ask you lame little questions like this now and then, and maybe for some help sometimes? I could use some explanations, and guidance! Thanks again. -- leahtwosaints ( talk) 08:04, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Mudwater,
Just saying that I am fine with your peacemaking efforts. To that end, I made one constructive suggestion at Talk:Cowboy Mounted Shooting and made some minor edits to the article itself. Please note that I am acting completely in good faith. I am, however, deeply concerned about what will happen when Howes weighs in, and would appreciate it if you help to tone down anything that gets heated. Montanabw (talk) 00:24, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi! A couple of things. Because the Flickr to Commons upload is broken (prob. for good), it's hard & time consuming (not to mention really puzzling for me and the photographers at Flickr. I lost about 25 photos we need from 7 photographers who can't figure out the Flickr upload, esp. if they don't speak English or Portuguese (my languages).. and drives me to wanting to hack this computer to pieces, etc. Truly. You have no idea!!
Thanks my brother! That's it! -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 07:26, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Did you see my talk page? After you too, said to "try, try again", I did, and it worked! I never believe I'm capable of doing things in "unfamiliar territory" like Commons, esp. once I try and fail more than once. But it's the 2nd time Spinningspark has gone beyond the call of helping newcomers (and dummys) listing each step to do something for me. I was so happy for him when he made Admin! Thank YOU for affirming the directions, because I've uploaded 5-10 photos already and placed them, and there are more waiting. Can you think of some nice thing I can do for him to show my appreciation??-- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 15:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Should I nom ole Mr. Lukens Mudwater? What are your thoughts, oh and thank you for the Jambase interview link! I enjoyed that very much. I was glad to see he mentioned about the dolphin slaughter/Cove information and hope that gets stopped soon, the next scheduled kill is in September I think. Again Thanks!!

I'm thanking all the good folks who are tending to the Derek Trucks and The Derek Trucks Band articles. It might seem there's not enough information on the members of Derek's band, but if anyone can help, there's a whole lot on NPR and other places. I really appreciate it; my computer won't connect to the internet, and this is a quick on the sly use of my old man's computer, and I can't spend the time I'd like on it. Perhaps next week it'll be fixed. Thanks. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 16:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi M- In my acquaintance with a photographer who is also the head of the Brazilan fan club for the Dave Matthews Band, (half of my family is Brazilian.. so..) anyway, we've emailed each other a handful of times. He came back from vacation and said that their drummer, Carter Beauford has commented that 90% of what has been written about the band is dubious at best, (probably true), and that he wants the "Personal Section" about his marriages and children removed. I told my contact in Brazil, that if he himself was to contact Wikipedia it would most likely be removed, but I left a message on his article's talk page anyway. What can be done in instances like this? -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 05:19, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the help on the image. I figure you saved me about five hours! So many people so far seem focused on saying no, instead of "this is how..." Thanks for being different. Any suggestions on my wikistalker now deleting any reference to the band in other articles?-- VMAsNYC ( talk) 03:06, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:ABB2004.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:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 22:17, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, a note about the David Grisman article. I saw it had a photo but no infobox, so I built one, but didn't populate the box with as much information as was available in the article b/c I was unsure as to what really applied. I know you don't like people messing with the Grateful Dead-associated articles, so I wanted you to know, and maybe you can do the touch ups. Also, the article hasn't got any references, the discography is sloppy, and a section named "Notable" is mostly trivia, or belongs other places. That's about it. Sorry it's not as happy news as could be. :] -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 01:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Okay, it's my turn to jump in...I have no idea where you got the idea that Mudwater "don't like people messing with the Grateful Dead-associated articles"! With his constant and persistent encouragement, I added details on the New Orleans drug bust to the article, which, as shy as I was then as a new editor, would not have even thought to attempt.
I really take umbrage to that statement, for the record. Marcia Wright ( talk) 15:15, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Following up on you comment on the talkpage of The Shells, I'm a bit at a loss, and would be interested in your input.
As you may have seen, there are now ongoing discussions as whether to delete that talkpage -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Shells.
And even whether to delete the MTV VMA that the band was nominated for -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Best_Breakout_New_York_City_Artist_Award.
If it would as some have suggested help settle down the fuss, perhaps it is best to put the album page info into the band page, and redirect album inquiries to the band page?
That might satisfy deletionist by reducing the number of pages, while at the same time keeping the information available.
Otherwise, I have no idea what the result will be of the above 2 deletion discussions.-- VMAsNYC ( talk) 20:32, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm wondering why you rolled-back Shoemaker's Holiday on my talkpage? It's generally considered rude to use that on established editors, and it isn't helpful to revert without leaving a message saying why you did so. Them From Space 01:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm looking for vintage photos of The Who and the Rolling Stones, amongst some others.. (for some reason I can't find a single photo of Gram Parsons which is driving me insane). Anyway, I came across the following photo, which the photographer mentioned to me, and I believe she'd make it a free image for us to use. Do you think it would help any page you are aware of? : [4] Jerry Garcia and the Allman Brothers Band. Let me know OK? -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 15:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on the disambig of The Shells. Quick question. The name that has just a couple of days ago been given to it is wrong (The Shells (folk band)). That is because its music genre is not folk -- rather, it is broader than that (it describes itself as "an American all-female pop/folk rock harmony trio". I've no great feeling as to whether it should be "pop/folk rock trio", or something else that incorporates other aspects of its background (e.g., editor Rja I believe mentioned the possiblity of call it a "New York City" ... (forget -- band or trio)) ... but to call it a folk band is a mischaracterization, as it too narrowly describes its type of music as reflected in the sources. Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 02:17, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
I have started the GA review, and my initial comments are here. Regards SilkTork * YES! 20:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Mudwater, I accidentally typed in Sweethearts of the Rodeo and got the article on that band (both ladies look exactly like me by the way ;). Do you think a disambig page is useful here? Just a thought. Marcia Wright ( talk) 19:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you think of some nice thing I can do for him to show my appreciation??-- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 15:38, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Should I nom ole Mr. Lukens Mudwater? What are your thoughts, oh and thank you for the Jambase interview link! I enjoyed that very much. I was glad to see he mentioned about the dolphin slaughter/Cove information and hope that gets stopped soon, the next scheduled kill is in September I think. Again Thanks!!

I'm thanking all the good folks who are tending to the Derek Trucks and The Derek Trucks Band articles. It might seem there's not enough information on the members of Derek's band, but if anyone can help, there's a whole lot on NPR and other places. I really appreciate it; my computer won't connect to the internet, and this is a quick on the sly use of my old man's computer, and I can't spend the time I'd like on it. Perhaps next week it'll be fixed. Thanks. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 16:44, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:NRPSMarinCountyLine.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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 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 "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 images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shubinator ( talk) 14:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi M- In my acquaintance with a photographer who is also the head of the Brazilan fan club for the Dave Matthews Band, (half of my family is Brazilian.. so..) anyway, we've emailed each other a handful of times. He came back from vacation and said that their drummer, Carter Beauford has commented that 90% of what has been written about the band is dubious at best, (probably true), and that he wants the "Personal Section" about his marriages and children removed. I told my contact in Brazil, that if he himself was to contact Wikipedia it would most likely be removed, but I left a message on his article's talk page anyway. What can be done in instances like this? -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 05:19, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the help on the image. I figure you saved me about five hours! So many people so far seem focused on saying no, instead of "this is how..." Thanks for being different. Any suggestions on my wikistalker now deleting any reference to the band in other articles?-- VMAsNYC ( talk) 03:06, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:ABB2004.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:
{{
di-replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.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. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 22:17, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, a note about the David Grisman article. I saw it had a photo but no infobox, so I built one, but didn't populate the box with as much information as was available in the article b/c I was unsure as to what really applied. I know you don't like people messing with the Grateful Dead-associated articles, so I wanted you to know, and maybe you can do the touch ups. Also, the article hasn't got any references, the discography is sloppy, and a section named "Notable" is mostly trivia, or belongs other places. That's about it. Sorry it's not as happy news as could be. :] -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 01:56, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Okay, it's my turn to jump in...I have no idea where you got the idea that Mudwater "don't like people messing with the Grateful Dead-associated articles"! With his constant and persistent encouragement, I added details on the New Orleans drug bust to the article, which, as shy as I was then as a new editor, would not have even thought to attempt.
I really take umbrage to that statement, for the record. Marcia Wright ( talk) 15:15, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Following up on you comment on the talkpage of The Shells, I'm a bit at a loss, and would be interested in your input.
As you may have seen, there are now ongoing discussions as whether to delete that talkpage -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/The_Shells.
And even whether to delete the MTV VMA that the band was nominated for -- see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Best_Breakout_New_York_City_Artist_Award.
If it would as some have suggested help settle down the fuss, perhaps it is best to put the album page info into the band page, and redirect album inquiries to the band page?
That might satisfy deletionist by reducing the number of pages, while at the same time keeping the information available.
Otherwise, I have no idea what the result will be of the above 2 deletion discussions.-- VMAsNYC ( talk) 20:32, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm wondering why you rolled-back Shoemaker's Holiday on my talkpage? It's generally considered rude to use that on established editors, and it isn't helpful to revert without leaving a message saying why you did so. Them From Space 01:20, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I'm looking for vintage photos of The Who and the Rolling Stones, amongst some others.. (for some reason I can't find a single photo of Gram Parsons which is driving me insane). Anyway, I came across the following photo, which the photographer mentioned to me, and I believe she'd make it a free image for us to use. Do you think it would help any page you are aware of? : [4] Jerry Garcia and the Allman Brothers Band. Let me know OK? -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 15:20, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your help on the disambig of The Shells. Quick question. The name that has just a couple of days ago been given to it is wrong (The Shells (folk band)). That is because its music genre is not folk -- rather, it is broader than that (it describes itself as "an American all-female pop/folk rock harmony trio". I've no great feeling as to whether it should be "pop/folk rock trio", or something else that incorporates other aspects of its background (e.g., editor Rja I believe mentioned the possiblity of call it a "New York City" ... (forget -- band or trio)) ... but to call it a folk band is a mischaracterization, as it too narrowly describes its type of music as reflected in the sources. Many thanks in advance for your thoughts.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 02:17, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
I have started the GA review, and my initial comments are here. Regards SilkTork * YES! 20:02, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Mudwater, I accidentally typed in Sweethearts of the Rodeo and got the article on that band (both ladies look exactly like me by the way ;). Do you think a disambig page is useful here? Just a thought. Marcia Wright ( talk) 19:10, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

I know I'm early, but time gets away from me more and more these days.
For your anniversary, I have brought two items.
First is this oil painting image that is up for deletion.
And second is this essay from the Wikipedia library about Wikipedia.
Happy editing! Marcia Wright ( talk) 17:52, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
