thread_title: BIG FAVOR

message: :Image:Datypeofgurl.JPG is being used on this article. 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.
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 insure 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 there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  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.BetacommandBot 00:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Datypeofgurl.JPG

message: An image used in this article, , has been nominated for speedy deletion at Wikimedia Commons for the following reason: Copyright violations 
;What should I do?
Don't panic; deletions can take a little longer at Commons than they do on Wikipedia. This gives you an opportunity to contest the deletion (although please review Commons guidelines before doing so). The best way to contest this form of deletion is by posting on the image talk page.
* If the image is non-free then you may need to upload it to Wikipedia (Commons does not allow fair use)
* If the image isn't freely licensed and there is no fair use rationale then it cannot be uploaded or used.
* If the image has already been deleted you may want to try Commons Undeletion Request

thread_title: File:Rasheeda.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: I propose that Rasheeda discography be merged into Rasheeda. Most artist pages have their discographies integrated in the article of the artist and the page Rasheeda discography doesn't seem to work as a standalone article.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I am about to delete all mentions of the birthdate from this article. This is because:
* The birthdate currently listed is not in the source listed for the birthdate, which merely lists the age of a person by that name.
* The in-article discussion of the birth date says that there are multiple conflicting sources about the birth date, but cites only one, a press release, rather than the articles that it claim exist, which may be more reliable sources
*For us then to say that there are sources that say both, but to announce one as the correct one original research. If there was a reliable, third-party source discussing the conflicting dates, that would be a different matter.
*It is not so vital that we list a birthdate that we should do it improperly.
Please do not readd birth information until there is better, clear sourcing. (Added: Also removed graduation information; see this Reliable Sources Noticeboard discussion on use of classmates.com --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:31, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthdate 

message: I just removed the birthday given. A couple sources were being combined to build a birthday. This runs into two problems within our rules and guidelines.
*WP:BLPDOB tells us that "Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object to the details being made public." Since none of the three sources used actually had the specific date that we were listing, we have not shown that any source gave it. And that's leaving aside the question of whether two references within a local paper counts as "widely published".
*WP:SYNTH tells us that we should not be combining references to build a fact, which is what we were doing to assign a specific year to the birthday.
One thing to remember is that the birthdate isn't that important. WP:BLPDOB makes it is something we can (and often should) simply do without. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:09, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
