Filmographies
[edit]IMDb can be used as a source for the appearances of an actor/actress. Although it cannot be simply copied and pasted as was done here. I've reverted your change to the article for Sylvester Stallone. Dismas|(talk) 10:02, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Except that the filmography featured in this article wasn't a simple cut & paste, it was fairly extensive edited. Also, I think you'll find the filmograpy on the Sylvester Stallone article is a direct IMDb copy & paste (with the only editing being the 'aka' titles of the films removed). Therefore, by your own very logic, either the filmography in the article returns, or the Sylvester Stallone one goes.Pagga 10:30, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't really want to get into a discussion over semantics. The best places to ask for clarification would be at the Help desk or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Films. If filmographies weren't allowed then the thousands of articles with them would have them removed and yet they're still there. If IMDb weren't allowed at all as a source, then I suspect that we wouldn't have an actor's IMDb page as the first link in the external links section of pretty much every actor here.

Dismas|(talk)- I'm only going on the reason cited for the initial removal of the IMDb-sourced filmography from the Tony Pierce article. It seems that Wikipedia is full of contradictions depending on who you ask, so getting a definiteve answer is like banging your head against a brick wall. Also, I noticed that you have since replaced a partial filmography on the Tony Pierce article. However, you listed a film which is still in post-production (The Undeserted) as being released in 2004. This is an error on IMDb's part (see offical site in external links), so it would be appreciated if you could rectify this. Also, from my understanding a 'selected filmography' should include the most notable roles, but you neglected to include The Bodyguard, one of his biggest roles to date. Again, you might want to look at correcting this.Pagga 10:58, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also, could you please post further discussion regarding the article in question on it's talk page, rather than here on mine.Pagga 11:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Tony Pierce.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Tony Pierce.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 ☠ 17:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
