I don't see the picture being public domain and I tagged it. It's not from the House website, but the party website. I think we'll have to wait for his official picture to appear on his website. Hekerui (talk) 07:08, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Actually, it's not free to use. It seems to come from the Illinois Assembly page (which is a .gov; not all .govs are federal), which does not make it public domain by default. I'm going to tag it, but if you do get info from that site admin, let me know. I'll check in here from time to time. Either gop.gov is using with permission (likely), or they just took it.

(merging sections) After going through GOP.gov for a bit, I was unable to find any explicit copyright info on this image. As much as I want to see an image on that article too, this one doesn't seem to have a license. I also think this is from when he was a State Representative in Illinois, which wouldn't put it in the PD. Were you able to find a license?

I just received this e-mail: Hi , That is an official government image, and therefore, is free use. Any top-level “.gov” website’s content and images, unless otherwise specifically stated, is public domain, as it is owned by the American taxpayers. Thank you, The GOP.gov Internet Team Now I'm confused.  APK  straight up now tell me  20:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Me too. They should have at least identified the photographer and said when it was taken (and where Schock was at the time - in his career, I mean). I would still say play this safe. His claim about .gov websites is flat out wrong. Like I said, the Ill Assembly site is .gov, but as is clear in policy, only federal government creations are PD by default, not necessarily state works. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 21:22, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just leave the image there, put back the original PD on it and forward the email to WP:OTRS. Done. As the email said, all top level .gov domains, which gop.gov is, are public domain. Even if they allowed gop.gov to use it, under ignorance of the copyright law possibly, it is now free to use. - ℅ &#10032; ALLST☆R &#10032; echo 21:43, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Okay, but there is the chance that they used the image out of ignorance and convenience and never actually asked. If they had done the same with an image of mine, which was licensed here or at Flickr under CC (or even all rights reserved, for that matter), I wouldn't lose my rights just b/c they stole the image (it probably all comes down to one web-designer anyway). I still think this is questionable. ~  ωαdεstεr 16  «talkstalk» 05:42, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

 * It wasn't a cat. They were insinuating I had done something wrong by adding this template to the article, and adding the article in the template. (in the "Other media" section) This is a great example of why I usually avoid AfDs, especially ones related to political issues. There's always a few (fill-in political issue/person/organization) kool-aid drinkers that will hound someone and try to 'figure out their real intentions'.

1520 New Hampshire Avenue
Hi, since the AfD was closed as a keep and you were advocating a merger, I would be willing to have a discussion on the talk page regarding such a merge if you still believe it's right. It would be good to reach a definitive conclusion so that both articles can move on, rather than being "in-limbo". Whatever the outcome, there's work that needs doing on expanding the coverage of the embassy and the building. Kind regards, HJMitchell    You rang?  17:45, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I noticed the AfD was closed, though I'm still trying to understand how the closing admin thought there was a consensus to keep. I was under the impression you thought merging the content to where it was originally located was the best solution. Am I mistaken?  APK  straight up now tell me  19:33, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * You made a pretty good argument. I'm not sure, so I'm afraid I'm on the fence on this one. The building definitely has notability aside from the embassy, which is relatively new, however, as a search term, it is probably more notable. I would suggest giving it, say, 5 days, gauging consensus and doing a little research to see if, through a combined effort, we can't expand and source it. After all, even if it goes back to the embassy article, a few more refs and more detail couldn't hurt. Let's open a discussion on the talk page and invite contributions from those who partook in the AfD and others who might be interested and see what the consensus is in 5 days. Sound fair? HJMitchell    You rang?  00:36, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and as a favour, could you possibly leave a talkback on my own talk page when you reply? Thanks! HJMitchell    You rang?


 * This is not going to work. I know that wasn't you doing the merge, but let me explain why this whole issue is bothersome. I seriously hope you don't take offense to the following comments, but it's how the situation looks from my perspective.
 * 1) I started Embassy of Jamaica in Washington, D.C. with properly formatted references and reliable sources.
 * 2) You copy and paste most of the content onto 1520 New Hampshire Avenue (created after the embassy's article) instead of discussing it on the talk page.
 * 3) You deleted the embassy's sourced content and replaced it with content that includes improperly sourced/formatted references. (i.e. take the good, replace with bad)
 * 4) I nominated the building's article for deletion because none of the sources show notability. I said, "Articles such as Embassy of Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C. and Thomas T. Gaff House combine the architectural, historical, and diplomatic information into one article." You said I was "flawed", the building has a "claim to fame", and the "nomination should be withdrawn immediately".
 * 5) There were four votes at the AfD. Two for merge, one for keep or merge, and you for speedy keep (without a reason to do so). The closing admin was incorrect to claim there was a consensus to keep, especially considering the last two comments were "Have you been able to locate a source that specifically covers the building?" and "Alas not, though I'm still looking."
 * 6) I fully explained why the building does not meet notability requirements: "The reliable sources are not discussing the actual building, only the people/organizations that used the building. I added them to the original embassy article to avoid another 2-sentence stub. The information and sources in 1520 New Hampshire Avenue were just copy and pasted; I don't see any evidence of the building's notability. Ref #1 is about the embassy. Ref #2 is about property value and being located in a historic district (almost every building in Dupont has a high property value and contributing property status; this is nothing special). Refs #3-7 have nothing to do with the actual building and don't even include a full sentence covering the topic. They're directories and other material I used to simply show past ownership." I forgot to add that almost every home or building once used as a home (most Dupont embassies are in former homes) includes a past owner who could be considered notable. My home served as a legation over 100 years ago, but that doesn't mean it's notable for an article. If we started writing separate articles for every building once owned by a notable organization or individual, there would be literally thousands of D.C.-related articles about buildings. I've researched the history of countless old buildings in Dupont Circle, Logan Circle, Capitol Hill, Georgetown, Woodley Park, Sheridan-Kalorama, etc. I'm not exaggerating when I say 98% of them were once home to a congressman, senator, embassy/legation/attaché, author, activist, organization, or prominent businessperson. (ex: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 - All of them include notable past owners. Most, if not all, meet notability requirements for an article. None of them warrant two separate articles.)
 * 7) Even though I showed why the embassy warranted its own entry, while you never provided any evidence of notability for the building, User:SilkTork finished off the embassy's article through a redirect. I've reverted because the redirect is completely backwards and it was done without discussion. If the articles are merged, the building's article should be redirected to the embassy. If someone wanted to read a Wikipedia article about the subject in hand, I doubt they would Google "1520 New Hampshire Avenue" instead of something like "Jamaican embassy US".
 * To sum it all up - I feel as if I've followed WP guidelines and very clear precedent, yet the embassy's article is getting the short end of the stick. I wouldn't normally spend so much time worrying about a stub, but it seems like such an obvious example of disregarding WP:N, WP:NAME, and WP:DGFA.  APK  straight up now tell me  18:12, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, for the record, I had nothing to do with the redirecting and/ or any subsequent shit it's caused and, also for the record, I have a pretty thick skin and I'm glad we're speaking our minds. Firstly, however, if you feel so strongly that the close was improper, I would suggest you take it up with the admin whose name, unfortunately escapes me. That said, my justification for the speedy keep, not that it matters now, was that you nominated it for deletion almost as soon as it was created and your rationale implied that you wanted it "re-merged" rather than deleted, for which AfD is not the proper forum. When all is said and done, I suppose, with the benefit of hindsight, I should have discussed the split on the talk page beforehand. I still think the building has notability of its own, but, when it comes to DC, you are more knowledgeable than I and you make a valid point. After all of this, I think it's best left as it is- in one place and, as a search term, the embassy article is the right place. We should let sleeping dogs lie, as such, if I can help with the embassy article, just let me know. Until then, I shall sign off. Regards, HJMitchell    You rang?  22:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks, ASE. That makes sense, at least the first part. I must say, I find the following information from the lead of that article hilarious:

"In the early 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service was investigating homosexuality in the Chicago area. Agents discovered that gay men sometimes referred to themselves as 'friends of Dorothy.' Unaware of the historical meaning of the term, the NIS believed that a woman named Dorothy was at the center of a massive ring of homosexual military personnel. The NIS launched an enormous hunt for Dorothy, hoping to find her and convince her to reveal the names of gay servicemembers.[7]" How much effort and money did they waste?
