Re: Logo
I actually didn't create the image. User:Chetblong may be the one you're looking for. STORMTRACKER   94  Go Sox! 20:33, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Commons Image
Just so you know that image was kept by a Commons admin after the ™ issue was discussed. Chetblong T C 18:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I had asked another admin to look into the issue, and he said that there isn't any rule strictly against having a ™ in a freely licensed image. Also one of those pics was brought up for deletion for that same reason, and was kept by a Commons admin (which is where these pics are located). I would remove the ™, but some of the people who asked for a logo also asked for the ™ symbol as well. So since there is no real issue with the ™ symbol, I have chose to keep it in all the images. Hope I can be of assistance for you in the future! Cheers [[Image:Face-grin.svg|25px]], Chetblong T  C 18:29, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Gmail_New_Logo.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Gmail_New_Logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Dream out loud (talk) 04:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Adoption
I feel like such a noob saying this, but. I'm new here, and was wondering if you would adopt me? I'd like to edit articles greatly, but frankly, I'm not very good at it. Thanks. XD Bleach ~♥ ~ (talk) 17:52, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Chaubaby's images
Hello. Just in case you missed it, there's a WP:AN discussion in progress about the copyright status of Chaubaby's image uploads. Chaubaby has claimed there that at least some of his image uploads are copyright violations uploaded to Wikipedia with inaccurate free licenses (diff). Until this issue is resolved, we should probably be cautious about adding Chaubaby's images back to articles. --12:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Rfa
Hey Asenine I figured it would be better to respond here than on your Rfa page. First word of advice, do not respond to all the Oppose opinions right away. In fact, for a majority of the Opposes I would not even respond but take their words as constructive criticism and just move on. If you feel that a retort is necessary, take your time, and thoroughly think out your responses and than post. I have seen more Requests for adminship quickly go down in flames because the nominee felt that they needed to respond to every little concern. Second, and I will be honest here, you will get a lot of opposes because of your edit count. I agree that the number of edits does not necessarily reflect the quality of the edits. However, we are not discussing your ability to edit but what your edit count signifies. With such a low number of edits for me, indicates very little interaction with the community at large. As an administrator, one of the many duties does require interactions among a wide variety of individuals. I know you say, I will not use the tools for this or that; however promises and actuality are two separate and distinct realities. Remember both trust and respect are earned or received over time and interactions. Personally, I would recommend that you spend 4-6 months looking at Afd an other Rfa and any additional areas that you may be interested in. This will give a more rounded experience and the opportunity to view policies and interact with more experienced editors. Either way your nomination goes, I hope to see more of you here at Wikipedia. Good Luck. Shoessss | Chat  14:18, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

RfA
Hey, just FYI I have left you a few questions. Feel free to take your time answering them. Tiptoety talk 18:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/Asenine
Asenine, I am sorry to inform you that I have closed your RfA as an unsuccessful snowball closure: there was an 10:1 ratio against the request at the time of processing. However, don't be downhearted by this: I can assure you that your contributions are both highly welcome and valued—many editors have failed their first request for adminship, only to sail through later and become well-respected administrators. Kindest regards, AGK (contact) 22:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Admin coaching
I was a little surprised when I actually found out you weren't an administrator (hence the support). Would you wish to go under an informal administrator coaching session? I'd be honoured to do so. :) Regards, Rudget . 12:50, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool. I'll set up User:Asenine/AC and start the process tomorrow. :) Rudget . 14:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. Rudget . 14:33, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleting talk page content
I do apologise I was under the impression one was allowed to delete the contents of ones talk page if that is what one wanted. Would you please cite a wiki rule before I agree to anything? Thank you --Camaeron (talk) 15:44, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes please it would be much appreciated! Would you mind showing me how? That way I wont need to bother you in future! --Camaeron (talk) 15:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much. Its easier than it looks after all! --Camaeron (talk) 16:05, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Chipped_Paul.jpg
Hello, Asenine. You sent me a message regarding. If you read the summary, I put a (rather short) explanation of why it is fair-use. I said that there is no free alternative and that the context of the article is about the video that the image was taken from.

Please click the above link to see the summary. It is only two to three sentences, but it does explain why the image in question is fair-use. Thanks.

 * OH! You mean that template that you have to fill out when you upload a picture. Should I put that back on? Ringo Starkison McLennon (talk) 22:30, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay. I'll do that. Ringo Starkison McLennon (talk) 22:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, I put a rationale. Feel free to post me on anything. Have a great day! Ringo Starkison McLennon (talk) 22:45, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I put it on (and took off the speedy deletion tag). It's okay now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kodster (talk • contribs) 23:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I know that the picture is orphaned. I took it off the article it was on and replaced it with another picture. So, you can delete it now if you want. I don't really need it anymore. So just delete it and don't even bother telling me. That's all!

Have a great day!  Kodster  (Talk) 19:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC) 20:20, 4 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I assumed that since it was not a bot, it was a person. Okay, well, I guess I'll just have to ignore it. It doesn't matter, I was just saying that. I didn't mean to make you upset or anything (that is, if you were). Anyway, have a great day!  Kodster  (Talk) 19:40, 1 March 2008 (UTC) 22:36, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

AD or CE
I urge you to stop changing AD denominations to CE in articles you did not create nor participated meaningfully in it. You are in conflict with WP guide lines: User preferences for BCE/CE notation:

"We should bear in mind both that we exist for our readers and that we need good editors. It therefore makes sense that a new 'preference' functionality is developed. This preference would allow registered users who want to see BCE/CE notation to see it throughout Wikipedia. Unregistered users and registered users who have not chosen to see BCE/CE notation would see BC/AD notation."

Please also keep in mind that nobody brands "km" as atheistic only because this measure was created by atheistic french revolutionaries. Try to be tolerant. Regards Gun Powder Ma (talk) 14:55, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Images
Sorry, but I'm really not good at dealing with images because of my visual problems, so I think another administrator should take care of this. Try posting to WP:AN. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Academic Challenger (talk • contribs) 21:42, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Last.fm-software.png
Hi, there

I'm curious about this picture - your comment in the upload log reads This uses Creative Commons artwork (I am the artist, and as thus eliminates the second fair use, which is good) also better resolution. Are you referring to the album cover(s)? (If you are, I can upload this image to the Wikimeda Commons so that it can also be used on other Wikimedia projects.) Regards, Anrie (talk) 17:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Gah - just noticed that the album cover was in fact licensed seperately! Sorry, my mistake. Anrie (talk) 17:01, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Weighted Companion Cube (Portal).png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Weighted Companion Cube (Portal).png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Labour.svg
Thank you for uploading Image:Labour.svg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 13:27, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Glados ---> WCC (reply)
The singer is clearly GLaDOS, it's her voice. The cube is an inanimate object. Having played the game (not just watched the outro as you seem to have done) I can tell you that parts of GLaDOS were thrown into a fire too. If you really want to challenge this I suggest bringing it up at Talk:Portal_(video_game) where I'm sure they'll be happy to tell you the same thing. HAND. Rehevkor (talk) 15:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
