Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lil-Weezy-Ana-Vol.1.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Lil-Weezy-Ana-Vol.1.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 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.

Akon[edit]

Stop reverting the improvements made to this article. It went thru an extensive cleanup which corrected a lot of formatting errors including grammar, punctuation, wikilinks, song and album title formatting, charts table, and other MoS style issues. You've repeatedly changed it back to the your preferred version, which is incorrect. Your edit summary language on this revert [1] also displays incivility. Disruptive edits and edit summaries like this are considered vandalism. I suggest you read up on guidelines found in the following places to help you with correct article formatting: WP:MoS, WP:ALBUMS, WP:SONGS, WP:MUSIC/TABLE. I've previously left these links in the edit summaries when I cleaned up the article. Thanks. - eo 01:00, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the Discography changes, can you explain why you think your format is better than the table? The table neatly lists his albums, sales, and singles instead of spreading it out unnecessarily. The before & after edits can be compared. Also why did you delete parts of the intro without explanation? The lead in must say how he is notable. If you think your format is better (which it may be), please discuss it on the talk page here under 'Discography section' rather than revert without explanation. Thanks. Spellcast 02:32, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I Agree that it's not absolutely necessary to put all the album info on the main page (shown in your edit here). But the reason I made a table in the first place was because it was unnecessarily spread out (as seen in this version). Anyway, keep it up. Spellcast 06:42, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Minor & CITE[edit]

Please read WP:CITE. Also:

Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'.

Bartender (T-Pain song)[edit]

Please stop adding Bartender to the list of number one songs by Akon. The song, as is clearly evidenced by the name of the page, is a T-Pain song. The fact that Akon appears on the song does not mean he gets credit for it. JCO312 05:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, those songs should be removed. Being featured on a song has never been grounds for getting credit as a number one single. If you feel strongly that they should be included, perhaps a different chart could be added for the songs he's collaborated on. But as it stands, it suggests that they are his songs when they are not. JCO312 18:21, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The entire discussion appears to be moot, as the table has been removed from the page. JCO312 19:46, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About your edit to Akon discography[edit]

The song "I'ma Rider" with Rick Ross, Young Jeezy, and Lil' Wayne is a fake video, from parody artists Broken Equipment Productions. Here's the chorus for proof of how fake it is:

“

If you lookin' for some soft or some hard/Come holla at the black-ass Kermit the Frog/I'ma rider/Hell no I'ma liar/You can find me on the block with my hand on my glock/In some draws, du-rag, and some baseball socks/I'ma rider/Hell no I'ma liar.

”

Still don't believe me? Check out the vid:

Fair use rationale for Image:I_Wanna_Love_You.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:I_Wanna_Love_You.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 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. Alpta 20:30, 7 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
