DYK for Hal Malchow[edit]

On 25 May 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Hal Malchow, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Hal Malchow consulted for every Democratic presidential nominee from 1988 through 2004? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Hal Malchow. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Hal Malchow), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Orphaned non-free image File:MyWorld logo.svg[edit]

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:MyWorld logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 23:00, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Technoblade voice clip embed[edit]

I just saw the new voice clip you added to the article. From what I understand, its purpose for the article seems to be something close to the Wikipedia Voice Intro Project, but is there a reason you selected a recording of a Discord voice conversation as the audio file? Curious to learn more; the edit summary didn't give me many hints. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page) 04:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

RayDeeUx Yeah, it's kinda like that project. Ideally we would have a recording that is in line with the other audio introductions, but since he passed away we can't produce a freely-licensed clip ourselves. A freely-licensed clip of him speaking may aid the reader like an image would. Since I recorded some games with him, that's what I have and what I can give away. I don't think we can get an audio clip of him speaking with a fair use argument; there are already two images with them and I've never seen fair use audio files not used for song samples. I could be wrong, and there could be better freely-licensed audio clips out there.

Since you've been an active contributor to his article, what do you think of it? Yay? Nay? SWinxy (talk) 18:39, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was originally going to suggest clipping any given YouTube video of his, but given the whole ambiguity around fair use policies on Wikipedia, what's there right now is the next best thing. I'm also in favor of replacing it with a shorter clip *only* if a fair use rationale can be made anytime in the future—similar to a past approach with waiting for a reliable source rationale before including The Daily Iowan as a citation in the article.

TL;DR: Yay, and also welcoming shorter options if it can fall under fair use. Cheers, u|RayDeeUx (contribs | talk page) 20:55, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
