Re: TSQ
The three images that you wrote about on my talk page actually refers to the same structure. Given the tags on the images, unless you get the consent of the uploaders, I think the images should stay. Nevertheless, neither of the three drawings are "good" skeletal representations of the molecule. The one in use is under-simplified, while the unused ones used the pseudo-element notation "Me" for -CH3, which is uncommon. --Deryck C. 14:16, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Oz covers
What is wrong with the rational of these many covers? I thought book covers fell underneath fair use. It says it all in the tag. Please clarify your rationale. &mdash;Jo nMo ore  22:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't believe it said these things TWO YEARS AGO when the images were uploaded. I don't understand how one is supposed to keep up with such things if the rules are constantly shifting.

FoxTrot book cover image
You recently left a message on my talk page stating that a FoxTrot book cover image which I uploaded a year ago is now orphaned. However, I find the reason the image was orphaned was because you removed it (and all other cover images) from List of FoxTrot books.

As regards points 3a and 8 of the Non-free content criteria, they seem to indicate that I could possibly create an article for each individual FoxTrot book, and use a single non-free image (i.e. a book cover) for each article to represent the item being discussed. However, in many cases it is better to combine short stubs into one list, as per WP:WINAD. Hence instead of 35 individual stub articles, we have a single list of FoxTrot books which is a more cohesive representation of the same collection of information. And yet the list is not allowed to use non-free media in the same manner as the individual articles it would replace? Well, perhaps this is a discussion better suited for the WP:NFCC discussion page... -- wacko2 19:19, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair Use of Images
I recently logged onto Wikipedia to find that my images were tagged for not having fair use. They do have fair use justification and it is in hidden text under all the summaries.

Image:Logistics_management_magazine_cover.gif
I'm trying to write a fair use rationale for this image but the description of what the rationale has to say is very ambiguous. This image is fair use. I used the text box from the fair use page and I tried to fill it in as best I could. Please tell me if this works or what specifically needs to be mentioned to help it. I also removed the template you added just because it said to remove it if a rationale was provided. I provided what I think constitutes a rationale, but if it is not good enough, I am willing to work to get the right one in there. Thanks for all your help Sean Montgomery 14:31, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Galaga '88 Orphaned images
Hi there. I added db-author to each of the images that you notified me about on my Talk page. These images can be deleted right now - I have no issue with getting rid of them. The images were for showing detailed information about Galaga '88 that Wikiproject Video Games later deemed unencyclopedic. The images could/should be transferred to StrategyWiki, but I can upload them there at any time.

Affected images:
 * Image:Galaga88_Dimension_1_Host.gif
 * Image:Galaga88_Dimension_2_Host.gif
 * Image:Galaga88_Dimension_3_Host.gif

Hey BigrTex. I have noticed that you have been moving Illinois maps over to Commons and leaving the categories and project tags along. I must say that I am glad you are doing that. I was wondering, if I got you a list of images would you be able to move those also over to Commons and leave their cats and projects tags here alone? Thanks for your assistance.--Kranar drogin 02:04, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, I will put the tags on them a little later. Yeah, most of these city located maps will eventually be gone. The new ones with the geobox are just so much better to use. So if I orphan some, should I just tag them as orphans from now on and tag to move to Commons if they aren't there already?--Kranar drogin 02:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I will notify you from now on of the images I orphan (maps anyways). Actually, I have been changing things up over there in Commons. You will find categories on each county that has maps, ie Category:Maps of Ogle County, Illinois etc. Cause there is going to be a large influx of maps soon (I hope) for the counties.--Kranar drogin 21:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging
You would be doing the project a much better service if, instead of blindly tagging fair-use images without a fair-use rationale for deletion, you instead determined the most logical rationale and added that to the image description page as required. Please note that many of the images I uploaded were uploaded prior to the fair-use rationale requirement. Thanks. —Locke Cole • t • c 01:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use of image...
Mate... WHAT ARE YOU DOING? DO you have ANY idea how long it took to find to appropriate images for all of these album covers, and you're simply slapping on the "fair use" of them and having them deleted? The summary wasn't good enough? How can that be? They're album covers, how can I summaries that any better? The licensing of the use of that was enough, but I actually explained where I could about them. What else can be added? You can't just undo all that hard work so easily, it's not a 'fair use' of your given e-powers, or whatever the term is. At least discuss it with me if you're taking off like close to 20 albums so I can sort out what's missing, which from the reason you've given, doesn't feel like anything. Discuss it. Or so help me, I'll take this further however I can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Harish101 (talk • contribs) 23:03, 20 July 2007

Soccer Logos - Fair Use
You tagged a couple of dozen soccer team logos I uploaded as not having a fair use rationale. I'm not sure exactly why you did that - when I uploaded them, I tagged them as being "logos", which was one of the fair use rationale drop down options on the upload page. Was that not enough? Is it not completely obvious why they're there? Just wondering. --JonBroxton 20:56, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi BigrTex, seems you've upset an editor by tagging this image for review. I received this message when I restored the tag you placed.

I'll leave it with you. Cheers Rossrs 13:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Ronstadt TIME
Per the above noted message as referenced by Rossrs, the issue pertaining to Linda Rosntadt TIME magazine cover on her bio site, this photo has been resolved as to the photos noteworthiness and stays, and if you had read the fair use rationale you see that there is no questions as to its fair use. These is a widely used photograph and can be found on the internet and because you are arguing its legal rights and copyright infringement, the fair use rationale according to the copyright law expalins it, so drop it! Don't you read the fair use rationale on any photos, i'm a copyright lawyer, i know and because this info is by law "The fair use of a copyrighted work...for purposes such as criticism, comment,...scholarship...is not an infringement of copyright." and because the criticsm on this pic has already been deemed to be noteworthy to keep (read the discussion comments on this photo) this photo by law reflects the intent of section 107 of the United States Copyright Act of 1976 and stays. Also, ''This image was nominated for deletion on 2007 July 6. The result of a discussion was keep.'' Therefore because of its noteworthiness, because it was deemed keep and falls within the copyright requirements of section 107, it requires no tag. It appears that your tagging is arbritrary, have a problem with her politics, background, fame, etc? I find this a lot with this artist so I have to be vigilant. Who knows what your INTENT is. No matter, this photo adheres to legal and fair use scrutiny. If you want to legally (fair use tag) challenge this then go ahead, it will open up a lot of fun other challenges. And to just site Wiki policy will not change the facts. (Sharkentile 20:08, 10 August 2007 (UTC)).

EBM samples
Hi, just noticed you removed the samples from the EBM article as you said they violated WP:NFCC#3 and WP:NFCC#8. I disagree.

Those rules state:

3.1. ''Minimal usage. Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information.''

3.2. ''Minimal extent of use. An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). This rule also applies to the copy in the Image: namespace.''

8. ''Significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic.''

And as a lot of people obviously still don't understand what EBM is after listening to these and add bands like VNV Nation to the list I think more of them, not less are needed. It was only short samples, so 3.2 could obviously not have been violated. Describing music by only using text is obviously not good enough. So samples were needed and WP:NFCC#8 was not violated.

However, I could probably contact some EBM bands and get their permission to have samples of them on wikipedia. But how should I do that? Obviously can't post their signatures on the page. It probably wouldn't be the same samples then though.

Help Fellow Texan On Deletion Review
Hi BigrTex,

As a Texan who is involved in photos on Wiki, I'm asking for your help in helping a fellow Texan, photographer and author, on what appears to be an improper deletion. Here is the deletion review in question. I admire your straight forwardness and experience as an admin and how you understand the adminship on Wiki better than most. The original article in question was "speedy deleted" after being listed here on Wikipedia for over two years and having endured an AfD before. The admin in question deleted links from the original article then used his "speedy delete" powers to delete it. When questioned, the article went before a 2nd AfD, at which time the admin in question allowed the article to be judged, sans his link deletion of credible sources from the original state of the article. When the sources were added during the 2nd AfD, the admin would delete them and eventually block them, including a link on the Univesity of Texas, San Antonio's list of notable alumni on Wikipedia (Wikipedia approved pages should be a credible source, especially from the University of Texas school system) where the notability of the person (article in question) was clearly established by the university. You appear very knowledgeable in these matters and do not appear to be the type described in this article, and because of this, we request your help in overturning an improper deletion. Thank you for your time. --72.191.15.133 (talk) 19:39, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
