Photo[edit]

The photo might have to be removed, as the photographer has not yet given permission for it to be used. Ekehoe 15:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I used the same Licensing as there was on Ryan Tubridy, Image:Ryan_crowd.jpg. --Ablaze (talk) 12:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elana. It might be okay under Fair Use - Alison ^✍ 16:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've given it a copyright, with permission and attribution. That sound right?Ekehoe 18:49, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added {{withPermission}} to the licensing - Alison ^✍ 19:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not following the image thing, can someone explain it to me? I've looked at the image pages in Help and feel like I need to be a lawyer to understand 'em Ekehoe 05:52, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you click on the image it brings you to a page all about that image, you can see who uploaded it, a summary of it and details about the Licensing with it. There is currently 2 licences, one showing that it is a copyrighted image and that This is a copyrighted image that has been released by a company or organization to promote their work or product in the media, such as advertising material or a promotional photo in a press kit and the other showing that it is used with premission In addition to (possibly) being usable under fair use, the copyright holder has granted permission for this image to be used in Wikipedia. It also states who owns the copyright in the summary. I'm no lawyer but thats the best i can work out with the image!! --Ablaze (talk) 09:09, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But is there a reason that the photog isn't being credited with the photo itself, instead of clicking through? I'm just trying to understand...Ekehoe 18:42, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- All the WP licensing stuff lives on the photo page itself. Otherwise it would bung up/detract from the article itself. Folks know to click through to get details on the pic itself, which is often an encyclopedic page in itself. - Alison ^✍ 21:47, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! That's what I was looking for :-) Ekehoe 18:36, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Naming conspiracy[edit]

Is his name really Rick O Shea, or is that just a pseudonym? 86.42.35.211 20:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is also a fictional DJ called Rick O'Shea from the 1960's TV show Thunderbirds eposide Ricochet written by Tony Barwick. This could be where the idea of the name Rick O'Shea originated. http://www.fanderson.org.uk/epguides/tbirds2eg.html#Episode%20Five —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.146.164.244 (talk) 20:22, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fake name, the real name for some reason keeps being removed. But a google can find that in a easy search.86.42.163.167 (talk) 13:22, 22 March 2008 (UTC) There are obviously vested interests at work in keeping the real names of Irish DJs off of wikipedia. 63.98.47.67 (talk) 15:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ooh, a conspiracy... Irish style... :) --Candlewicke (Talk) 19:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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

Image:RickOSheameteordjnom.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 this Wikipedia article 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 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.

Hot Press interview (2004)[edit]

Rick, don't lose that number! --can dle •wicke 19:50, 12 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mr. Vernon[edit]

Mr. Vernon is making use of his rollback button to remove many valid edits and is not discussing the issue. Clearly this is not right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.109.132 (talk) 01:12, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are spamming tags all over the article, which is disruptive. If you continue, we will have no choice but to block you. --MuZemike 01:16, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've just spent ages carefully reviewing the thing. So I get blocked for doing reviews of bad articles now? Nice to know my contributions are valued. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.40.109.132 (talk) 01:30, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You've added 22 tags to the article. Can you explain why you added each of those tags? Tell us, what part could date quickly? Where is the weasel-wording? How does the article lack a single coherent topic? This is vandalism. --Mr. Vernon (talk) 04:54, 3 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
