speed racer article: Extensive Use?
"Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information"

Well, one image in this article definitely doesn not convey similar visual information. How are people supposed to know the history behind the Speed Racer franchise and how it looked like BEFORE it came to america? Most o' these images are pretty hard to find right of the bat and I think they are of some importance in the article. I do not think 5 copyrighted pics could pose harm to this article. If there's a destinated amount of image that should be used, I understand. (Megamanno (talk) 17:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC))

WP:DTTR
I think you need to check out the actual revisions before templating a regular, the 3RR cleary states "A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time" I for once didn't undid the actions of anothe editor three times, I reverted twice an editor and discussed, before manually removing a third piece of content that was originally added by an entirelly different user. If you had actually taken some time to check that before templating my talk page, you would have noticed it. -  Ca ri bb e a  n ~ H. Q.  10:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Please be thorough
I received a warning about violating the 3RR, even though it wasn't violated (at no point were there three reversions of the same material, although several different edits were made to the article), the discussion page was used to clarify the issue, and everything was resolved between the other person and I long before I received a warning about being in an edit war. Please be thorough in going through the history of an edit discussion before warning people about rules that haven't been broken. Thanks! ChargersFan (talk) 14:59, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

That Mustang logo image
Part of the fair-use exemption for logos is that the image must be low-resolution. You yourself admitted that it was not when you uploaded it. Thus, it fails the requirements. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:32, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

NFC Images
In re this, where you posit 1980 as your birth year - it may take you ten years to understand that I'm not being patronising but - it may take you twenty years to understand the significance of old logos. You will first have to establish an appreciation for the relentless march of time. I'm not trying to talk down, I'm just trying to convey that items that don't seem relevant to you are the same items that other people using the same encyclopedia would be actively trying to find.

You probably don't care what a Shreddies box looked like in the late-1960's. I do - I compulsively read it every single morning when I was a little kid. It looked nothing like the current box, it had a thing on the front about the little prize inside (which made me enthusiastically eat the cereal until I could see the little package). The Shreddies box was important to me, the style and branding were significant. It's still important to me, it's the kind of thing I'd like to research and contrast in the world's greatest encyclopedia.

Why do I care what helps you pick something off a supermarket shelf? It's my encyclopedia too, and my encyclopedia incorporates the aspect of time. And time is an important factor, which often and unforunately is only understood through the perspective of time itself. Franamax (talk) 09:17, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Camaro image
Hi 293. I removed the "no permission" tag because it wasn't appropriate; it's for use when an uploader has identified another person or organisation as the owner of the image, but hasn't provided any proof that they've agreed to its use. For example, if User:FredSmith01 uploads an image and identifies the source as "Mary Brown - used with her permission" but doesn't give us any evidence of this.

On the second occasion, you used the "no source" tag, which was also inappropriate, because the uploader had identified a source (themselves).

For images like this where you find the source to be implausible but for whatever reason can't prove it to be a copyright violation, you need to take it to Potentially Unfree Images and explain your concerns.

In this case, archive.org confirms that the image has been on the camarosource.ca site since at least September 2003 and I have dealt with it as a simple copyvio. Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 09:48, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Because it didn't occur to me to do so. I spotted an incorrectly tagged image while doing a check of "no permission" images and removed the tag. There's simply nothing more or less to it than that. If you knew of a source for the image, it would have been of far greater use had you provided it on the image page or in your edit summary. Both the "no permission" and the "copyvio" tags provide for this information to be provided in the tag itself. ("No source" doesn't, for reasons that should be obvious). --Rlandmann (talk) 10:55, 27 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Because I wasn't "checking to see if you had done anything wrong". I was removing an incorrect tag from an image, and left a note in the edit summary suggesting appropriate further action in case anyone wanted to follow it up further. --Rlandmann (talk) 11:13, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

Top Gear test track
Hello,

I have no idea who you are or what gives you the right to remove my additions to the article on the Top Gear test track and threaten me with being "banned from Wikipedia" because I asked why the paragraph had been taken down, but I find your attitude offensive. You say "Wikipedia:Copyrights#Linking_to_copyrighted_works is one reason why your edits were removed" but actually if you'd checked you would have noticed that the YouTube clip to which I linked was posted by BBC Worldwide as part of the official Top Gear YouTube channel, so that Wikipedia rule doesn't apply; there was no breach of copyright. When commenting on the content of a television programme, I can't think of more reliable proof than that the relevant excerpt from that programme itself, posted on the internet by the programme's broadcaster, the BBC. It seems perverse to expect corroboration from "a well-known TV critic" when the proof is there for all to watch.

I emphasise that the paragraph which I tried to add to the article was truthful, and I believe it was of interest to readers of that page. I was referring to a verifiable fact, not something which is a matter of opinion. I am happy to discuss it with anyone, but did you really have to be so rude? 86.146.134.175 (talk) 16:22, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: Edits/Reversions to The Stig.
Not entirely sure why you removed a large portion of the "Other Stigs", section, specifically the information on the Communist Stig. It's certainly not a violation of WP:CRYSTAL, given that his existence is a confirmed fact, complete with video and photographic evidence. Clarkson has even referred to him by name. Perhaps you should do some research on the subject before you start an edit war. 82.5.173.164 (talk) 19:55, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Shameless self promotion
I think your excuse to replace the photo on the VIA FP9ARM is just shameless self promotion. There is no need to replace an existing photo with one of your own when it is the exact same object. 67.193.221.128 (talk) 02:54, 6 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I have to say that your recent change to once again put your photo as the main one for VIA FP9ARM does support the above argument by 67.193.221.128 (talk). I changed the photo to one of a different engine to stop a possible revert war, I even mentioned that in the change.  But you seem intent on having your photo as the main one.

Top Gear
Can you explain to me when exactly Wikipedia's policy on banishing all criticism of a subject into a separate "criticism of" article came into effect? If you can't, stop editing Top Gear-related articles as if such a policy is in place. Thanks.  Warren -talk- 21:59, 23 May 2009 (UTC)


 * This nonsense you are engaging in of removing any and all information from a variety of Top Gear articles that meets your entirely arbitrary (and completely unsupportable by policy) criteria of "if it doesn't appear in the episode, it doesn't belong in the article" must stop. I am going to go ahead and revert ALL your edits along these lines, and I fully expect that unless you can justify its removal using POLICY, you will leave it the hell alone.


 * I defy you to explain how Wikipedia is improved by removing information relevant to the episode from the encyclopedia. This is the kind of behaviour I expect to see from people who want to push their own personal opinions, and don't really give a shit about making the encyclopedia more interesting and informative, which is the whole bloody purpose of doing this work in the first place.

NRHP infoboxes on your sandbox page
Hi, 293, I don't know how active you are in WP:NRHP, but Infobox nrhp just got a code update that allows for better handling of contributing properties to historic districts. We created a temporary category, Category:NRHP infobox needing cleanup, and your sandbox showed up in the category. I've been going through and updating the infoboxes, but since it was on your user page, I figured I'd ask first. I can make the changes if you want, but if you'd like to, all we're doing is changing all instances of "designated=" to "designated_nrhp_type=" and editing the CP infoboxes to use "partof" in conjunction with "partof_refnum" to indicate the district to which they contribute.
