Replaceable fair use File:Tori amos 2009.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Tori amos 2009.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to
    di-replaceable fair use disputed
    }}, 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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. dave pape (talk) 19:39, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Catalouging Tori songs on Wikipedia

Unfortunately, this is NOT the place for that. There are a group of fans working on creating a Tori wiki; that is an appropriate venue. Not Wikipedia where few Tori songs bear any relevance to the masses or have any sort of citeable notability. You may find my AfD-ing some articles of yours unbecoming; however, as the GGEB AfD page shows, your goals and the goals of the most of us (and the encyclopedia in general) differ quite a bit.Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 07:53, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know all about the "fan wiki". I'm the one who began mention of it. In either case, I'll just stick to updating the albums on here. Thank you for your time (and patience). Mark-Alexis Gabriel

Re: Thanks for the compromise

You are welcome for the compromise, and thank you for not taking my edits so personally. I remember when I started out as a Wikipedian, I would be hurt/dismayed by edits, but I quickly learned that they were not to be taken personally-- rather they were made to improve the overall quality of the article in question.

I haven't had a chance to take a close look at the Midwinter Graces article yet, but you have done a great job compiling info and sources for Abnormally Attracted to Sin article. I particularly like the critical reception section, so 'job well done'! =)

Thanks for the compliments on my edits/changes. I strive to make articles concise and flowing. Some of my "babies" are the Boys for Pele article and the Tori Amos discography list. Cheers! --Pisceandreams (talk) 02:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Boys for Pele

Of course you can contribute. Anyone can contribute. I'm well aware that there's plenty more info out there on the album, I just haven't had the time lately to go search for more to include. (If you look at the article's history, you'll see that I haven't made any significant contributions to the article in quite a while. A lot has happened in life to keep me from delving into the article further.) My ultimate goal with the article is to nominate it for Featured Article status (it would be the first one of any of the Tori-related articles to achieve such a feat), so please contribute what you think is truly encyclopedic and pertinent, and for which you can provide a valid source.

I didn't read through all of your blog post yet, but I did skip down to the section on "Doughnut Song" (my favorite song on the album and one of my all-time favorite songs of hers) and it's interesting that she said, "I think one of the most important lines in the entire record for me was, “You told me last night you were a sun now, with your very own devoted satellite. I’m happy for you, and I am sure that I hate you; two sons [suns] too many; too many able fires.”" because that's the line that spoke to me the most, and that I believe is the essence of the album. Looking forward to reading your contributions. =) --Pisceandreams (talk) 06:01, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Night of Hunters

Hello MarkAlexisGabriel. I've been enjoying working with you on the article for the upcoming Tori Amos album, Night of Hunters. Thanks for helping to keep out non-encyclopedic info and all other stuff.

Just to clarify one of my edits, I moved the 'touring' section out from under the 'Background' section to give it its own section, as per the articles on most of Amos' other albums. I wasn't understanding how a tour to promote an album after its release could be included in a section devoted to the album's background, involving its inception and creation. Perhaps as more information is released and the article begins to take shape, everything will fall into its right place. =) --Pisceandreams (talk) 14:34, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Violation of Wikipedia's 3RR.

You need to review

Wikipedia:Three-revert rule. You have now reverted edits a fourth and a fifth time within 24 hours, a violation of Wikipedia policy. You should discuss issues on Talk:Night of Hunters rather than revert against policy. 99.192.60.38 (talk) 23:37, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply

Of course there is such a thing as an acoustic instrument

From the Acoustic music page: "Often a microphone is placed in front of an acoustic instrument which is then wired up to an amplifier." From the Classical guitar page: "It is an acoustic instrument." If you google "acoustic instrument" you get over one million hits. The idea that there is no such thing as an acoustic instrument is absurd. 99.192.58.167 (talk) 13:43, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Format for talk pages

You might want to check out how to format your contributions to talk pages. Firstly, when responding to a comment, you do not need to start a new section. Just hit "edit" on the section that exists and add your comments to the bottom of the existing section. Secondly, be sure to indent your comments by one more level than the one before. You do this by putting as many colons (":") before your paragraph as you want spaces indented. So if you are replying to a comment that starts with three colons, start yours with four. (If that explanation was not clear, just check any Wilipedia talk page with extended discussion and click on "edit" on one of them and look for the colons at the start of paragraphs. Thirdly, you always must sign your comments on talk pages. The way you do that is just put four tildes ("~~~~") at the end of your text. Wikipedia will automatically add a signature for you when you do that. (After writing a comment, put your four tildes and then hit "show preview" and you should see the signature as it will look when added.) For me, the four tildes translates to this ---> 99.192.87.117 (talk) 16:57, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

When you edited the

disambiguation page rather than an article. If you know from the source material whether it's referring to the Republic of the Congo or the Democratic Republic of the Congo, could you please edit your link to point to the appropriate page? Most common usage referring to the country simply as "Congo" is about Republic of the Congo, not the DRC, but I didn't want to assume that in this case since you're probably more familiar with the topic.

File Copyright problem
File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:LangeCongo2.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the

copyright tags
may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:25, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Jessica Lange

I see you are a fan of Lange, which I sympathise with, but statements such as "I like the lead" do not really make the lead good in accordance with

WP:NPOV
. And I hope you are aware that the article is not owned by you, so your personal preference does not matter as far as Wikipedia is concerned.

I spent half an hour to copyedit it and all of its mistakes, the huge amount of POV and redundancies. I added several films which were not mentioned and toned down the fan-led stuff. And there are many more such instances throughout the article which I am willing to take care of.

If you still "like the lead" the way it was before, then I don't mind taking it to

WP:DRN where other editors express their opinions about it. Until then, I request that you respect the hard work I've done and do not engage in an edit war, as you have in the past. Thank you. ShahidTalk2me 22:15, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply

The article is in need of a major copyedit. Some portions of it are just really poorly done, and it has a lot of POV and little sources. ShahidTalk2me 08:10, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have been blocked and accused of sockpuppetry, which I have admittedly engaged in in the past under this account. However, for the past two years I have been trying to make useful contributions to the

Jessica Lange filmography page. This user does not care about maintaining the encyclopedic integrity of this page, but rather continues to make edits that make the article convoluted and confusing to read, as a proper review of his edits and revisions will show. I would like to be unblocked and also be allowed to make constructive contributions to this page and others without being harassed and without having this underhanded vandalism continued any further. Please advise. I plan on escalating my complaints as far up as I can go if this is not addressed. MarkAlexisGabriel (talk) 11:25, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply

Comment
I believe I have learned a lesson, no less have other contributors who had the privilege to "work" with you. You have no respect for any other individual and for any matter else, but you and your self-destructive obsession with JL, and you have no sense what so ever for a neutral point of view as clearly obvious. For the past two years, you keep posting a content exclusively reserved to herself, her awards and accolades so forth and so on. You were told a hundred times there is
an article featuring such list with full details, and yet, you keep exhausting her additional articles with your countless totals of her awards in each possible section, just the same way as you keep creating your new and new "alter egos", filling all her articles with your own "rave reviews", adding irrelevant templates such as e.g. Infobox comedian awards, etc. As a matter of fact, your tiresome edits rather disrupting than contributing, they all make public dislike the woman actually than the other way around. This is not her fan page, some of us are also trying work around. My advice to you, get a life as soon as possible because you keep wasting your time, so much of those who have a real job to do. For what it's worth, I myself would not recommend to unblock you ever, my formal friend. Tweny13 (talk) 15:13, 27 July 2013 (UTC)[reply
