Unspecified source for Image:Moya comb.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Moya comb.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 02:42, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I updated the image description the way I think it should be done to meet Wikipedia's requirments for copyrighted images. The "source" of an image is the copyright holder, which in the case of Farscape is the Jim Henson Company. I also reduced the resolution. This helps with the fair use claim. -Nv8200p talk 12:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Moya comb.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Moya comb.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.

Minbari not born of Minbari[edit]

I have noticed you have changed the quote "Minbari not born of Minbari" to "Minbari not born of Minbar." I see where you are coming from, but the show and books quite often use the former and not that latter. There are about 6 times as many results found for the former as well over the latter. I also seem to remember that in one of the novels the meaning of "Minbari not born of Minbari" was brought into question - a very important point. If the change stands (Minbar instead of Minbari), the quotations should be removed. Radagast83 (talk) 22:11, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

They should stay the way it is, because the way its said Minbari = race, Minbar = planet/people's/culture's origin in the way i see it.

Just like we would not use Earth to discribe our race, generally we use terra/human to discribve our race in sci-fi. So therefore it should stay as i put itMementh (talk) 21:36, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Sorry Mementh, but I do not think that you shoud go around changing quotes just because you think that your way is better. I have the DVDs and I am looking at the English subtitles right now. The quote is clearly "a Minbari not born of Minbari". Your argument might be interesting, but ultimately one has to go back to the primary source, and that is the episodes themselves. Whatever other subsequent sources (books and comics, even those considered canon) are out there, the only one that can change the quote is Mr. J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote it in the first place. You should respect what the original author said. Amj1967 (talk) 16:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
