Thanks for uploading Image:Skid_Row_In_A_Darkened_Room.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}} 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 22:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rockfang (talk) 22:33, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Livin' on the Edge[edit]

An IP keeps adding the category Category:1993 songs to the article "Livin' on the Edge", when it's already listed under Category:1993 singles. I've already reverted twice, made a comment about this in the history, and warned the user about making unconstructive edits. In case you aren't familiar with the categories regarding songs, "1993 singles" is supposed to be used primarily for singles released in 1993, while "1993 songs" is supposed to be used for songs which were not released as singles. Both categories are not supposed to be used, as one is a sub-category of another. Therefore, since "Livin' on the Edge" is a single, it is supposed to be placed under the 1993 singles category only. Since I don't want to break the 3-revert rule, if you could please help me tackle this vandalism, that would be great. Thanks. Abog (talk) 16:25, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edits to WikiProject Aerosmith[edit]

Hi there. My edits were to convert WP:AERO's project banner to use {{WPBannerMeta}}, a meta-template for project banners which was recently developed. Using a meta-template has many advantages, ensuring consistency and standardisation across all project banners. Of course modifying something as complicated as a project banner has potential problems, most likely to have been caused if WP:AERO was using non-standard quality or importance classifications, or unique features. I did check about twenty talk pages using the template after conversion, and fixed any errors I noticed; if you see any remaining mistakes (redlinked categories, lost pages, or corrupt display) do let me know and I will ensure that they are fixed. Happymelon 13:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No pages are actually in the categories I have deleted; if you actually go to the talkpage you will see that they are now in the new categories, it's just that the pages have not been recached and so still populate the deleted categories. The same is true for WhatLinksHere from the categories. No, there was no discussion, it's called being bold. This is not "testing", but implementation - the metatemplate has already proven itself reliable in extensive testing, and is used by twenty other projects none of whom seem to have a problem with it. I say again: if you see anything broken, just let me know and I will make sure that it is fixed. Happymelon 19:41, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Good Article status[edit]

I agree. That, along with a "musical style" section, and it should be well on its way. We also need to properly cite all existing references, showing the title of the article, the date, the access date, etc. I will try to do what I can. We should try to push for at least around 50 references for now. Abog (talk) 15:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Aeroforceone logo.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Aeroforceone logo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes 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 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. Polly (Parrot) 19:36, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barnstar[edit]

The Original Barnstar
For your tireless contributions to improving the quality of Aerosmith-related articles, I award you this barnstar. Keep up the good work! Abog (talk) 03:30, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Aerosmith article[edit]

I think the article is just about ready for GA status. It already has over 100 references now. By adding about 20-25 or so more references in key places, as well as doing a general double-check and cleanup (per manual of style) of the references, I think it might even be ready for FA status once those references are found. I came up with a list of the 20-25 items that still might need citation. Let me know if you'd like to see it.

Also, I hope the Walk This Way autobiography references aren't too excessive. The book is just really definitive though for finding all the information, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, periods of the band which aren't documented as comprehensively or as accurately elsewhere, especially on the Internet. The article on Kiss, which is listed as a good article, also contains lots of citations from a particular book. However, the AC/DC article, a featured article, doesn't rely too heavily on any one source.

Please let me know how you think we should proceed. Abog (talk) 07:53, 2 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds good to me! You did really great work as well, particularly with updating all the references and bringing them up to Wikipedia's standards.
As far as the list of items which may still need referencing:
  • The Lead:
    • "pop" and "glam"
    • "inspired legions of rock artists that came after them"
    • "cemented their status as hard rock superstars"
    • "among the most popular hard rock bands in the world
    • "regained the level of popularity they experienced in the 70s"
    • continue to maintain high levels of "popularity" and "success"
  • 1970s:
    • "local success doing live shows"
    • "Toys in the Attic" and "Big Ten Inch Record" were also rock radio staples" (maybe they weren't back then, but they certainly are now)
  • 1980s:
    • "after recording the guitar parts for "Lightning Strikes"
    • "replaced by Rick Dufay"
    • "began working on a comeback"

**Walk This Way (1986) "helped introduce Aerosmith to a new generation"

  • 1990s:
    • first ever performances in Australia on the Pump tour
    • Pay-Per-View performance with Guns N' Roses in Paris
    • "the hard rocking "Livin' on the Edge" and "Eat the Rich""

**Cryin, Crazy, and Amazing "proved to be huge successes...on MTV"

    • Alicia Silverstone referred to as the "Aerosmith chick"
    • Liv Tyler featured in Crazy video
    • "accusations of selling out"
    • I Don't Want to Miss a Thing introduced Aerosmith "to a new generation"
    • I Don't Want to Miss a Thing being "forever solidified" as a "slow dance staple"
  • 2000s:

**Joe Perry's Grammy nomination for "Mercy"

    • performed in Latin America to "sold out stadium crowds"

**first ever performances in India and the United Arab Emirates

There are about three other items I didn't list, which I am fairly confident I know where to find them. I will add those in as soon as I can. Abog (talk) 16:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of links to Aerosmith-related pages[edit]

Not to be nit-picky, but why the removal of links to Aerosmith concert tours, Toxic Twins, Blue Army/Aero Force One, Awards and Achievements, Outtakes, etc? Is there a policy regarding this? Can there only be sections on these, if there is summary text?

Also, there are plenty of good articles on musicians that list some singles (often #1's), with a link to the main singles discography. Why can't we list the Top 40 on the main page, since it's a pretty concise list of their most popular, well-known, and sought-after singles?

If you could point me to some policies or precedents set in the past regarding this, that would be great. Thanks. Abog (talk) 21:00, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess I could see it more from a structure/MOS perspective rather than from a NPOV perspective. I've read up on these policies but there really is no definitive answer on whether we can have sections with only links to other articles and no summary text.
I see where you're coming from though in not wanting to clutter up the article. Hopefully, if people really want to, for example, find a list of Aerosmith's awards, they will be able to find it in the template. Abog (talk) 23:31, 3 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that's great! Abog (talk) 00:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the Barnstar. I'm glad we finally got the Aerosmith article through to GA. Granted, it did take some compromises and some effort, but I'm pretty happy with the result.

Redirect of BMW F11[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on BMW F11, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because BMW F11 is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting BMW F11, 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.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Aerosmith Amazing.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Aerosmith Amazing.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) 05:13, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
