User talk:Ben King
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] STATEMENT
Any articles submitted by me were done so on good faith on the understanding that Wikipedia was a reputable resource. I do not agree with many of the backward policies on this site or with the insularity of its administrators. I request articles such as Howards' Way, Prisoner and the Secret Army episode guide be rewritten so my original text is no longer featured on the site. I do not endorse the reliability of Wikipedia in any way, and would not recommend it (either for reference or contributions) to anyone in the future. Ben King 12:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] STATEMENT 2
Administrator The JPS is an insular, officious little drone who is obviously on a power trip. An utterly sad, small-minded piece of shit.
[edit] I don't blame you for leaving
Of course I don't know your reasons for leaving the Wikipedia community, but if they have anything to do with the dispute over fair use regarding magazine covers, I don't blame you. You may or may not have noticed that all your TV Guide images have been removed. Sorry, man -- I do NOT support the current fair use policy regarding magazines and I feel it is unnecessarily restrictive (you should see the damage being done to articles on magazine models). That barnstar you received was well deserved as I personally feel Wikipedia is a poorer place because of the loss of these images. 23skidoo 11:47, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks for your note of support.
- I would second that. They were helpful and illustrative, and it seems over-zealous that they were removed, and in a rather abrupt manner too. Certainly the articles I am involved in look much poorer now. It seems a shame that the users so bothered about removing the magazine covers couldn't find images to replace them with first. Bob 20:44, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks again. You're quite right - there are some very sad individuals on Wikipedia whose administrative "status" has clearly gone to their heads.
-
- I would certainly agree that it's a shame you decided to leave Wikipedia - I saw many of your contributions and they were great - particularly with regard to articles such as Secret Army and Survivors. The current policy about magazine covers I have no hard opinion about, but the lack of (use of) such covers is surely only a minor thing and the information that Wikipedia contains (including the content you have added) is surely vastly more valuable. I'd like to thank you for that content, and hope that you don't continue to try removing it. Stephenb (Talk) 09:00, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

- Administrative "status" is seriously the best way of putting it. I imagine these users are on a power trip with their admin "status" and don't realize they're deleting valuable things and chasing away great users like you. You are worth a million Carnildos and a thousand Mindspillages.
-
- Please rewrite the Secret Army episode guides. I do not wish to have my original text featured on Wikipedia. Thank you.
- Unfortunately, I disagree with you here. When you press "Save page," you make the text property of WP. juppiter talk #c 18:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:ColbysTracyScoggins.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ColbysTracyScoggins.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that 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.
If you have uploaded other fair use 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 any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 23:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:V-paperback 1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:V-paperback 1.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kimchi.sg 03:11, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Fw1DVD.jpg
 |
This file may be deleted. |
Thanks for uploading Image:Fw1DVD.jpg. 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. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, 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.
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 fair use images 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. JDtalk 00:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
