Non-free files and book space
I've been finding occasional violations of WP:NFCC #9 in people's userspace saved books. For example, File:Super Mario Bros. box.png previously on User:X-Tractor/Books/Super Mario: A Retrospective. However, your report does not appear to be scanning the Book namespace for violations. I found File:SHODAN hires.jpg on Book:System Shock, which the report did not have. Is this a bug, or is it not possible to scan that namespace, or was this not coded, or...? Can it be added? --Hammersoft (talk) 15:21, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Next time you find one of these dont remove it, I would Like to take a closer look. ΔT The only constant 15:23, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Will do. I manually scanned the first page of Category:Wikipedia_books_(community_books) and only found the one mentioned above. It's not a rampant problem. I did notify the associated wikiproject . --Hammersoft (talk) 15:34, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Went through the second page of that category too, with no hits. 400 out of 1466 with just one hit. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:45, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I found one bug, the book namespaces where not added to my code, I have since fixed it. http://toolserver.org/~betacommand/nfcc9/20101209_20%3a02%3a49.html does include the first example. ΔT The only constant 15:50, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * So it should pick up any further violations existing in the Book namespace now, yes? --Hammersoft (talk) 15:53, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just fixed it, there are currently 4 violations. Also I fixed the bug with sorting, so you can now sort the table again. ΔT The only constant 18:54, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

WP:NFCC
Hi Delta. I notice with this edit, you understandably removed an image in user namespace per WP:NFCC. However, with this edit, I put it back in, but commented it out so that it would not actually link to the image. A check shows that that user namespace page is indeed no longer linking to the image. Thus, it no longer appears in user namepace contrary to WP:NFCC. The reason I did this was that I wanted to save the fellow working on the userspace draft having to track down the image later when he’s ready to move it into article namespace. Is commenting out the image sufficient to satisfy WP:NFCC? Thanks! —  Spike Toronto  21:44, 11 December 2010 (UTC)


 * yes. ΔT The only constant 21:55, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Night Nurse Image
I don't quite understand why the image cannot be used. Please explain. I read the policy but still don't quite get what's wrong. -- Cprice1000 talk2me  23:36, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * non-free content can only be used in mainspace. ΔT The only constant 03:14, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Article Incubator is included. It means like no disambiguation pages. -- Cprice1000 talk2me  21:40, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Wrong, its mainspace only. Non-free content is allowed only in articles ... and only in article namespace. AA is not in the article namespace, neither are user sandboxes. Non-free content cannot be used in the wikipedia namespace, PERIOD. ΔT The only constant 02:19, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Non-free album/single covers may be used in the article for the song or album in the infobox under a fair-use rationale. -- Cprice1000 talk2me  02:45, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct, but anything in the Article Incubator, is not an article yet. If it ever makes it out you can add the image then. ΔT The only constant 02:47, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

BOTREQ
Kindly desist from removing my valid request from BOTREQ, before others have had the chance to consider it. I invite you to revert your latest instance of doing so. Andy Mabbett (User: Pigsonthewing ); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 22:15, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * No. People had a chance and it went no-where, that was a nice way of saying ITS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Please stop spamming BOTREQ with the same request when it goes no where the first time. Also you are ignoring the result of the last RfC so Im not as inclined to listen as I normally am. Further disruption by you may lead to an escalation on my part. ΔT The only constant

Changes to List of consorts of Montferrat

Deletion of links in private user pages
I would greatly appreciate if you would refrain from editing my user space pages. You may leave messages on my Talk Page, but leave everything else alone! If you continue to do so, it will be considered vandalism. &mdash;QuicksilverT @ 03:17, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Non-free images are not allowed on user pages. Delta is free to remove them, even if you are trying to prevent their deletion. That is not vandalism. --M ASEM (t) 03:25, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

3RR
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users who edit disruptively or refuse to collaborate with others may be blocked if they continue. In particular the three-revert rule states that making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the talk page to discuss controversial changes. Work towards wording and content that gains consensus among editors. If unsuccessful, then do not edit war even if you believe you are right. Post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
 * Please review our non-free content policy especially #9. Actions that comply with that policy is excluded from 3RR your reverts however are not. ΔT <sup style="color:darkred;">The only constant 19:20, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Closed without action for the reason you state. has now commented out the fair use file and edits in one's own userspace are ordinarily exempt from 3RR, so hopefully that is all that is needed here. Regards, - 2/0 (cont.) 23:12, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Dead Link
Hey, It appears are you doing some sort of semi-automated reference cleanup. I want to bring your attention to this edit you made. As you can see, that link is not dead.

Re: Note
Sorry mate, didn't realise that I wasn't allowed to use those images, I won't do it again.

Suggestion: Try being a bit nicer on talk pages. I mean, threatening to block me for making a simple mistake (my first one of this sort) regarding the non-free content policy? Seriously? I suggest you take a look at the talk page guidelines before you next decide to bite someone's head off.

Andrew vdBK ( talk ) 23:13, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I did not mean that to come of as biting your head off, rather I removed the images once pointed to the policy which stated that non-free content was not allowed in userspace, you reverted without comment, I removed the images again also pointing to the policy which stated that that image usage was not allowed, and left a note on your talk page stating that continued violations of the non-free content policy would result in blocking. The same thing happens with vandalism, vandals are warned multiple times about their actions before they are blocked, and the same principle applies here. I left one note in the edit summary, and then a second stricter notice after a repeat offense. I am sorry that you think I am biting your head off but my intentions where just to give a clear warning of the consequences of your actions before they led to a case where it became too late to avoid those actions.

re:File:Alton S Tobey Sailboats.jpg‎
I own the painting. I also own the rights to the image of the painting. I took the photo and I created the jpg file myself. And I release this photo, this jpg file, for the free, unlimited use of any and all in this universe and any other conceivable universe, whether for commercial or for non-commercial purposes. I swear, I own this painting. I took the photo of the painting. And I relinquish all rights to the use of this photo image or jpg file or whatever you want to call it of this painting. I do not see what can be the problem here. MdArtLover (talk) 04:00, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

NFCI #9
You closed the discussion prematurely. The discussion started only on Dec 22, and the dispute had not finished (only those users who frequently participate in this talk page discussion left their posts there). Please, self-revert.--Paul Siebert (talk) 23:12, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That discussion actually started on December 2, you are the only one who thinks that the non-free content policy needs changed and your point will never be accepted, so you are beating a dead horse. That is why I closed it, there is no point to continue for you to argue the same point regardless of the existing consensus. ΔT <sup style="color:darkred;">The only constant 03:11, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Firstly, this discussion is not about the policy (which doesn't need in any changes), but about the guidelines. Secondly, I started this RfC on December 22, and the discussion is not finished. The purpose of this RfC was to draw attention of editors others than those who participated in the initial discussion. Two days is not enough for that. Please, self revert. --Paul Siebert (talk) 04:40, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a formal notification that I started the ANI discussion regarding this case .--Paul Siebert (talk) 19:40, 25 December 2010 (UTC)

I've only just become aware of this discussion. I used to be fairly active in NFCC discussions, and I'm intending to become active again on that talk page. Do you think you could reopen that discussion so that those relatively new to the discussion or (like me) have only just become aware of it, could comment? Either that, or maybe I could take Paul's argument and improve on it to restart the discussion (I have some points to make that I don't think have been made yet).

Poorly-done removal of non-free images in a VPT discussion
In this edit, you completely removed some non-free images, which destroyed the sense of the post since anyone new to that conversation would have no idea what images were being talked about. It would have been much better to have left the images linked, like this. Anomie⚔ 20:25, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
