Deleted template
I deleted your template for the Reise Reise album, after seeing that most of the individual songs now redirect to the album, as they should according to our policy. Only very well-known singles merit their own articles; album tracks very seldom do. --Guinnog 10:53, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Briscoe Logan.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Briscoe Logan.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. Chowbok  ☠  01:23, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Silent Warnings.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Using one of the templates at 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 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.BetacommandBot 11:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Comments, questions, complaints - let loose.

Anarchism and anarcho-capitalism
There is no such dispute between anarcho-capitalism and other forms of anarchism in academia. It's simply some editors on Wikipedia debating over it and that's why there shouldn't be an article. You too seem to be assuming that anarcho-capitalism something other than anarchism in your wording that "this is a dispute between anarchism and the political philosophy of anarcho-capitalism." Anarchism is an umbrella term than includes various kinds of anarchism. A debate between anarchism and anarcho-capitalism makes no sense at all and is inherently POV because the POV being pushed is that they're two distinct philosophies. If you vote to keep you're allowing the anti-anarcho-capitalists on Wikipedia to "frame" the issue by assuming in the title of the article that anarcho-capitalism and anarchism are separate. DTC 16:24, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It is a debate among traditional anarchists and anarcho-capitalists, and it is quite real outside of Wikipedia. I personally consider myself both an anarchist and an anarcho-capitalist, but I understand the reasons why some anarchists make a distinction - and I think it is worth an article on Wikipedia to discuss.  Perhaps the title of the article needs to be changed to something like "Traditional anarchism and anarcho-capitalism", but I don't really have a huge problem with how the terminology is used - after all, the discussion is over whether anarcho-capitalism can legitimately be called "anarchism" at all.  I think it can, many other anarchists disagree.  But the edit warring over it is an exercise in futility, and I see this truly minor concession as a way to publicly air our differences.  As long as we're clear, readers will be able to figure it out for themselves.  Besides, this means we don't have to carry on the endless debate within the anarchism and anarcho-capitalism articles proper, and we can just say "look over here if you disagree about calling anarcho-capitalism a form of anarchism!"  --Academician 18:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

List of actors who have played the Doctor

Fourteen actors have portrayed the Doctor in a leading role in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. The series' protagonist, the Doctor is an extraterrestrial Time Lord. The transition to each succeeding actor is explained within the narrative through the plot device of regeneration, which allows Time Lords a change of cellular structure and appearance. The first actor to portray the Doctor was William Hartnell beginning with An Unearthly Child (1963) through The Tenth Planet (1966). In the final moments of "The Tenth Planet", the First Doctor regenerated into Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor.

The incumbent Fifteenth Doctor is played by Ncuti Gatwa, who took over the role from David Tennant following the conclusion of "The Giggle" (2023).

Outside of television many actors have played the Doctor on in various BBC-licensed spin-offs on television, stage, radio, film, audio plays, and webcasts. The character's ability to periodically regenerate appearance and personality has facilitated the ability of new actors to take over the role – in official and unofficial productions – while in most cases maintaining continuity with the television series. Several actors of have been considered for the role.

Furling.jpg
You cannot simply steal photos and slap a Fairuse justification on them. Copyright does not work like that. I've removed it to copyvio where it will be deleted. --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * From the text you entered onto the image page: "and that there are no alternatives to using it under that doctrine". There are a number of alternatives, such as asking the copyright owner for permission or taking your own photo of sails being unfurled. PUIdisputed is for cases where the copyright is disputed. In this case, the copyright is not disputed - it belongs to Tallships or their photographer. What is disputed is the licence for the image. You can argue your case on the copyvio page if you like, but I do not think that anyone will bite on your fair use argument. Sorry if I sound testy about it all. --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * Find the image listing on Copyright problems and explain there (e.g. on the next line, starting with ** to indent). That might get the image a stay of execution. Good luck, but without the permission of the copyright holder, I don't think the image will stay. I cannot overemphasise the importance of the rigour with a licence needs to be adduced for a wikipedia image, if wikipedia is not to get into trouble with copyright owners. Applying the fair use test suggested here leads me to believe that it would fall at step 9. Images on websites are not promotional (in the sense that album covers, actor PR photos &c., obviously are.) --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * Tag the image with an apprioriate tag - this should not be fair use, but a more definate one reflecting the permission given. Annotate the image page to announce to anyone who finds it later that permission has been given. Go to the Copyright problems page and delete the listing of furling, entering as a reason in the edit summary that the furling.jpg has now been licenced by permission of the copyright holder. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * Good job! --Tagishsimon (talk)

Image:Navclass.jpg
Sigh. What is your fair use justification for this? --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * Thanks. Being the photographer is always a good reason, and I take you at your word. However its confusing that you've written on the image page that the image is (c) 2004 Guided Discoveries, without at the same time specifying that you have any stake in the copyright or in Guided Discoveries. And the release from those photographed issue has no bearing on the licence, I think. If you adduce fair use, others may well borrow it as their "fair use".  However if it is your image, then you can do as you like with it, but I would advise that you add some more information to clarify the copyright issue. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Image:Alanvilliers1.jpg
From Image copyright tags (my emphasis)

Fairold: For use with images from old sources where copyright may have expired but not quite old enough for this to be certain, but where use would be contended to be fair use if still subject to copyright (eg, advertising from companies that have been out of business for 50 + years).

Please explain this one, also.--Tagishsimon (talk)

 * I don't know on this one. I am not keen (as you may have observed) on fair use, other than in exceptional cases. For this reason, I would not have added the image. You may have other opinions, and you're entitled to them. I guess my rule of thumb is that if I cannot find a suitable tag, then I take that as an indication that the image should perhaps not be on the encyclopedia. Finally, please do not let me put you off contributing to the wikipedia; you are very welcome here and your contributions are valued. It's merely that there are some people who wander around wikipedia doing (amongst other things) work to ensure that we respect the copyright of others. The evidence is that there is a great deal of cut and paste; and "borrowed" images by the thousand. This, sometimes, things get brusque. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Sail training
Wel, generally, an excellent article. I'm too tired to go through it tonight but'll return to it. I do take may hat off to you, very well researched, well written, following all known wikipedia conventions. I expect that you'll be able to push it to featured status soon, although perhaps it is as yet too short for that, despite being quite long. I think FP critics like a bit of length.

You seem to be winning the John Milius battle. Don't let it get to you. I've put the article on my watch list. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * I think the Tall Ships stuff in the article is getting off topic, and should properly be in Tall ship, since it relates primarily to a discussion of Tall Ships and only secondarily to sail training. And I hacked about with the first para, for the reason that I was uncomfortable with the word "unconventional" when from the initial words, sail training must once have been very conventional, albeit presumably Nelson would not have known it by that name.

 * I think, also, you may be being a bit didactic (though I've never been sure about the meaning of that word...) First and foremost, sail training is not intended to be like a vacation. or With many options out there, it can be a difficult choice . I'm not sure what advice to give to change anything, but it sails close to being a promotional piece - albeit of the very highest quality - for sail training, rather than an encyclopedia article about sail training. Meanwhile, I continue to salute your work in sail related articles, and kinda hope that your interests w.r.t. wikipedia broaden, since you are clearly something of an asset. --Tagishsimon (talk)

 * Unless you define sail training, up front, as being contemporary sail training, then surely when sail was king, it was not an unconventional?That was the gist of that edit. --Tagishsimon (talk)

You might want to set up an account and start uploading GFDL and PD images to - they are available, as normal, to the English wikipedia if uploaded there, but they're also available to all wikipedia langages - it's a central image server; but strictly for free images, not fairuse. I imagine that, ultimately, all GFDL and PD images will be ported to that site from the English Wikipedia image-space. Oh, and only embolden a personal name once, not repeatedly - you'll see I;ve edited your Irving Johnson and Alan Villiers pages. --Tagishsimon (talk)

Image Tagging Image:Jacobsenpilot.jpg

Location manager
i've noticed you've removed a link to the Teamsters from the article on location managers.

they are the duly elected representatives and labor organization of location managers on the west coast and as such, a useful link in the article.

i've looked over the List of policies and don't see any reason why they shouldn't be mentioned.

please cite your source.

thank you.

Seasee 05:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * The relevant policy is External links - specifically, the way I read it, external links should bring additional information on the subject. Having (briefly) browsed through the Teamster's website, they only bring information about themselves (who they are, what they bring to members...), not information about location management itself. Also, the Teamster's Union is a bit too localised for my tastes - if it was an organisation spanning all of the US (or maybe even across the Atlantic or south of the border?), it would suit the purposes of Wikipedia, which is a worldwide information source, much better. So, my view would still be that it should be removed, noble as the Teamsters surely are.
 * However, rather than doing this unilaterally, I wanted to check back with you first. Let me know what you think. And I just wanted to say that I appreciate that you sent me a message about this rather than unilaterally reverting my changes! :) — QuantumEleven | (talk) 06:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * PS Do you know about the Teamsters article? How about we just mention them in the article that way? — QuantumEleven | (talk) 06:57, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

 * i may not submit very often but at least i like to communicate with those that do when they critique my pages...i know the teamsters are a bit of a strange bedfellow for location managers but considering that the majority of the working feature location professionals are based out of hollywood and consequently, associated with the teamsters, i thought it was pertinent. the motion picture division is mentioned in the main Teamsters article and that article is mentioned in the Location manager article so it is my belief that you might as well cut out the middle man and jump straight to the parent organization but i'll submit to your judgement if you feel strongly about it.

Image:Hmsrosephoto.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hmsrosephoto.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:

 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) 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.

User:TUF-KAT/List of music areas

African musical areas
Main article: Music of Africa

Africa can be divided into music areas using several schemes. Geographically, one might distinguish between North Africa, with its Arab and Muslim musical influences, and Sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is furthermore frequently divided into regions like West Africa, Southern Africa, East Africa and Central Africa; to some extent, these geographical regions correspond to music areas, however there is much variation within regions and similarities across borders.

Linguistically, African music can be divided along the basis of the lingua franca, the most commonly spoken second language among a group of people who otherwise do not speak the same tongue. The former Portuguese colonies, like Angola and Mozambique, can be grouped together, as can the numerous countries that emerged from French West Africa and other French colonial entities; English-speaking colonies like South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria can also be seen as sharing some characteristics. The other colonizing powers of Africa were Belgium (Congo), Italy (Somalia) and Germany (Botswana), but they left comparatively little musical influence behind.

Certain musical instruments, like the balafon and kora, can also be used to demarcate African music areas.

Gahnite

Gahnite, ZnAl2O4, is a rare mineral belonging to the spinel group. It forms octahedral crystals which may be green, blue, yellow, brown or grey. It often forms as an alteration product of sphalerite in altered massive sulphide deposits such as at Broken Hill, Australia. Other occurrences include Falun, Sweden where it is found in pegmatites and skarns; and, in the United States, Charlemont, Massachusetts; Spruce Pine, North Carolina; White Picacho district, Arizona; Topsham, Maine; and Franklin, New Jersey.

It was first described in 1807 for an occurrence in the Falu mine, Falun, Dalarna, Sweden, and named after the Swedish chemist, Johan Gottlieb Gahn (1745–1818), the discoverer of the element manganese. It is sometimes called zinc spinel.

Omer (unit)

The omer (עֹ֫מֶר ‘ōmer) is an ancient Israelite unit of dry measure used in the era of the Temple in Jerusalem and also known as an isaron. It is used in the Bible as an ancient unit of volume for grains and dry commodities, and the Torah mentions it as being equal to one tenth of an ephah. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia (1906), an ephah was defined as being 72 logs, and the Log was equal to the Sumerian mina, which was itself defined as one sixtieth of a maris; the omer was thus equal to about $12/100$ of a maris. The maris was defined as being the quantity of water equal in weight to a light royal talent, and was thus equal to about 30.3 L, making the omer equal to about 3.64 L. The Jewish Study Bible (2014), however, places the omer at about 2.3 L.

In traditional Jewish standards of measurement, the omer was equivalent to the volume of 43.2 chicken's eggs, or what is also known as one-tenth of an ephah (three seahs). In dry weight, the omer weighed between 1.56 - 1.77 kg, being the quantity of flour required to separate therefrom the dough offering.

The word omer is sometimes translated as "sheaf" — specifically, an amount of grain large enough to require bundling. The biblical episode of the manna describes God as instructing the Israelites to collect an omer for each person in your tent, implying that each person could eat an omer of manna a day. In ritual, the Omer offering (which began the Counting of the Omer) consisted of an omer's quantity of freshly harvested grain. During the Temple period, the offering of the omer was one of twenty-four priestly gifts, and one of the ten which were offered to priests within the Temple precincts, when Jewish farmers would bring the first of that year's grain crop to Jerusalem.
