Hi Lazytiger,

Thanks for your work on the drum and bugle corps and Drum Corps International pages. I have added some new comments to the former's talk page.

Best,

MattJ 20:21, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Hi,

Okay -- work's done on the drum and bugle corps page. The "modern" page probably needs some work now to drag it back from DCI back towards a more generic article, but it'll work for now. Please review all three articles in the chain and let me know what you think.

Best,

MattJ 17:38, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Greetings,

With Catherine's latest streak of vandalism on DCI/Drum Corps pages in general (check the histories), I was wondering if you and MattJ would be willing to seek arbitration in this issue. I'm of the opinion that Catherine thinks she can perpetuate biased views with impunity, and she'll continue a revert war as long as she can. Get back to me with your thoughts.

--Mr Bound 03:44, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)

Mr. Bound, do you have an email address I can reach you at? You don't have to post it here; go to my website and email me. Thanks.

Lazytiger 14:02, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Lazytiger: I contacted you at your "speak" account from your site. Hope to hear back from you soon.

--Mr Bound 21:27, Dec 6, 2004 (UTC)

Catherine

So this is more than just a battle then... I can't actually understand what she's trying to say, and hence I can neither agree nor disagree with what she has said about DCI. I posted on the [drum corps international] discussion page, and would be interested to hear from anyone who can explain what this is all about. Funny topic for an encyclopedia :\ --Sbutler 21:22, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Heads up! The Cat is back! See the modern and classic pages for edits, reverts, and commentary! Things finally get fun again. --Mr Bound 01:02, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

Wikiproject Drum Corps

I would like to invite you to join the newly formed WikiProject Drum Corps, a WikiProject for the expansion of all things drum corps. If you'd like, add your name to the list of members, and lend a hand in some of the things we have yet to do! There's plenty lying around, but even a small contibution is very welcome. Hope to see you lending your knowledge to our growing collection of drum corps articles! Mr Bound 18:50, 15 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strap It On (Helmet album)

I couldn't see what grounds you had for speedying this; I've made it a redirect. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect certainly isn't wrong, I'm just saying that this redirect isn't needed. Nothing points to it, and it seems unlikely that someone would type in exactly that article name. If it's not a problem for Wikipedia to be littered with unneeded redirects, so be it. — Lazytiger 18:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Well, the slogan that's always trotted out here is "redirects are cheap"; also, though, speedy deletion can only be done when an article meets specific criteria. For this to be deleted, it would have to go through AfD — and it doesn't really seem worth it. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strap It On (album)

There are three problems with your addition. First, the Manual of Style dislikes the use of concealed links such as [[1974 in music|1974]]; secondly, the infobox doesn't make clear what the two dates are, and the normal approach is to give original release dates, adding rereleases (if significant) in the body of the article; thirdly, dates should be given in Wikipedia format – e.g., [[23 January]] [[2006]] – so that reader's preferences can format them correctly (in this case: 23 January 2006). --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with all the points you've made here; I wasn't familiar with the Wikipedia preferences. This is an opportune time to mention a pet peeve of mine concerning Wikipedia: "overlinking". That is, unnecessarily linking generic words to other articles. Especially day/month/year articles. 99% of the time, anything else that happened on a particular day, month, or year has nothing to do with the article in question. In order to have some sort of relevancy to this article, I chose to use the "in music" links. Otherwise, I'd rather they not be linked at all. But I made them links, because it seems that Wikipedians love doing that in general, and I figured I'd beat them to the punch and make them "in music" links. But I see why that could be considered bad. — Lazytiger 20:39, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't agree more; I go along with linking years, etc., because I know that the links will be added by someone else anyway, but it usually seems pretty pointless. Wikipedians are split pretty even;y on the matter, I think; there have been many long debates on the issue. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:10, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Helmetphoto.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Helmetphoto.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 18:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marching percussion photos

Those all look great, keep me posted about the emails back from the staffs. I myself will be taking a couple of pictures of percussion equipment a week from now, I'll probably photograph on-and-off body, or on-stand and on-harness, see what all I can get, and then will put them on the Commons. Hopefully the article will be well-rounded in just a short time! Mr Bound 15:25, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WUSTL Project

Hello, I noticed you've made edits to WUSTL articles or that you are in some way connected to Washington University in St. Louis. I thought you might want to become a member of Washington University in St. Louis WikiProject . We've recently built the project page and started a drive to improve articles in the WUSTL series. Please take a look to edit an article or add one of your own. Once an article's status has been agreed upon, feel free to stop by and lend a hand in getting it to featured article status. Hope you can participate!

--Lmbstl 11:45, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response! You are more than welcome to edit WUSTL articles for geographical accuracy. It really would be nice to have the coordinates for the notable places, too! However, your polite declination is duly noted. Best regards, Lmbstl 14:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the confusion, I wasnt aware of a new category, and just saw the red linked category on the project page. Sorry! >.< Rokbloom 16:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

UMR Patch logo

I uploaded a PNG version of the UMR patch logo and tagged the gif version for deletion. I think I chose the right tag...

Orphaned fair use image (Image:UMR patch.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:UMR patch.gif. 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 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. 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.

Image:Drum harness.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Drum harness.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 {{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 any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok ☠ 05:31, 14 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Helmet_Monochrome.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Helmet_Monochrome.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. 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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. Bigr Tex 20:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Helmet-Unsung.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Helmet-Unsung.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 will 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. Bigr Tex 20:08, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image source problem with Image:Blue stars logo.jpg

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Blue stars logo.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 19:52, 12 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.

Thanks for the complement! I believe I used this map as a basis.

Redirect of East coast jazz

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on East coast jazz, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because East coast jazz is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting East coast jazz, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:HelmetBand2.jpg.

University of Missouri

The naming of the entire system was in usage from 1963, so for 44 years the diplomas from the schools all said University of Missouri at the top and students on campus called their schools University of Missouri.

Fair use rationale for Image:RBOC map.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:RBOC map.png. 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.Guest9999 (talk) 20:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested page move

Hey, I know you don't want to get into it again about the name change, so hopefully this will go one way or the other without much trouble. I certainly wasn't going to bring it up again, but the issue keeps coming up, and so I'm going to examine it one more time. I let all the old folks know about the new discussion (including Altari and anybody else who commented in Archive 2). Do me one favor and examine everything again and let me know if there is any likelihood of another change of opinion, because that could effectively put an end to any more debate. I'm going to stay away from too many my facts/your facts debates because I feel like we've all had enough of that. Anyways, here we go again. -Grey Wanderer | Talk 21:43, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MU MOS

What do you think about adding University of Missouri–Columbia back into the article along with Mizzou and MU in the first sentence. I think the name still has enough pull to warrant that. Also do you think it would be a good idea on the category renaming to get a bot on the task. Perhaps it could tackle all the messed up categories from both the UMR→Missouri S&T renaming and the –Columbia→University of Missouri one. Grey Wanderer | Talk 20:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to be all-or-nothing about such things, keep it nice and clean, etc. But, yes, it probably would be appropriate to include it in the parenthetical with Mizzou and MU. I don't think we need to worry about involving a bot to move the categories; only admins can move categories (not sure why that is... policy? software limitation?) so let them decide how to do it. Just be sure to make them aware of all your concerns.—Lazytiger (Talk | contribs) 21:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I phrased that poorly. I should have said: If the category is removed, there are thousands of articles particularly the alumni and faculty articles that will need to have the category they are in changed. I don't think that happens automatically (I could be wrong). Also only admins can move a cat because there is potential for serious side-effects if a vandal moves Category:People from Missouri to Category:Fuck that displays "fuck" on an awful lot of pages. Grey Wanderer | Talk 21:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, gotcha. I'm not sure whether subcategories are automatically fixed or not. Automatic in the sense of an admin will do it along with the cat change. From my limited experience with cat changes, I believe they (the admins) do fix the included articles. But maybe that's totally dependent on whether the admin remembers or feels like doing it. Regardless of whether it's us or an admin, absolutely we'd want a bot to do it! I've never used a bot before, so that's all you.—Lazytiger (Talk | contribs) 21:23, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.

Copyright issue

No problem. I think I can explain it a little better than was put on the MU logo. In short, letters cannot be copyrighted. Neither can phrases or simple shapes. This is an outline of two letters and cannot be copyrighted under U.S. law. I can refer you to a few places, but I think the simplest explanation is that MU wouldn't even want a copyright if they could get one. Copyrights eventually run out, but trademarks can last forever. They can protect this logo from illegal use in association with their school forever, but at the same time, not spend inordinate amounts of time/money to protect it through a copyright process. That doesn't mean there aren't restrictions on it, but the image isn't copyrighted either. For its intended use here, it is fine. I'd be happy to explain far more in depth later, but I need sleep for an upcoming checkride. Here's a quick read Night! — BQZip01 — ^talk 06:42, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
