Wiki Be Hatin'

Not sure how important this is, but I thought I would post it here. I don't know why, but they took down both the Shiina Ringo and Tokyo Jihen band images on Wikipedia, because they are copyrighted.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiina_Ringo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Jihen

Okay.. that's cool.

If you hold the copyright to an image (e.g. you photographed or drew it yourself) and would like Wikipedia to be able to use it, you will need to release it under a free license, such as the GNU Free Documentation License or the Creative Commons Attribution or Attribution/Share-alike licenses (versions 2.5 and earlier), which allow everyone to use, alter, and redistribute your work for any purpose, including commercial use.
Do not use this form for images found somewhere on the Internet or created by someone else.

Does this mean the pages go picture-less forever? Hmm...

It really is a shame how idiotic the internet is becoming.

Wiki.theppn is your friend.
You just don't know it yet.

Though wiki.theppn somehow has less information on some Japanese artists than even wikipedia...

Foolish creatures!

Anyone have a picture of Ringo they took themselves...? >.>

Tokyo Jihad · 2007.07.14, 07:51 PM

...well, there is that one...

bromithia · 2007.07.14, 08:04 PM

I'm sure we could upload one of these or something and they wouldn't notice. I don't have a Wiki account, though, and I don't plan on making one anytime soon. ;P

How would that work? A random image of her (from the Dynamite Out tour) was uploaded before and that's what got taken down. Unless you claim to have taken the picture yourself, it will eventually get removed.

bromithia · 2007.07.15, 10:07 AM

The picture of her was obviously not taken by a person from the crowd, though...

For instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Yeah_Yeah_Yeahs

That one is so crappy but it looks like it was taken from the crowd. :/ Well, it probably was, but um, that's not the point. >_>

Oh no wonder i've seen some shitty band images on wiki! They have to be taken by yourself ehh.....
