Are you Ashley Bickerton
Hello, I am acting on behalf of Ashley. He's asked me to create his wikipedia page as I work for the Gallery that represents him. Please help me in making sure I am set with regard to copyright for the images. I've taken several approaches thus far and all have been removed surreptitiously. Thanks Mdomino

Ah ha
Ah, so that's where my edit went. Sorry about the mixup. I thought the edit got lost because the Internet has been pretty weird where I live recently. I deleted that bit and your comment in response to it because it's obviously in the wrong place. It was supposed to be about the article on Toki Pona. Mithridates 22:56, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm
I'm not sure if I should start here or post it in your archive, so I'll do it here and you can move it if you want.

Returned Message
Hello. I went ahead and discussed my changes for that article, but the user making the changes keeps saying my edits are not cited when they are and put up some thing on my page saying that I'm a "sockpuppet" of someone named "JohnC1". I don't know how to get rid of it. I looked for "JohnC1" and I see nothing at all so I have no idea what that is about. I don't know what's going on but this dude is not even about putting facts about the situation because he keeps deleting all of them. Stormshadows00 21:36, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I didn't know about that rule
Thank you for the link....I wish I did know ahead of time. I got frustrated beicause the changes he made were false and no factual info was presented. I put up facts and they're deleted with this dude calling me "sockpuppet" and all this other mess. But I guess there's no use fighting. Do you know what a "sockpuppet" is and how I can get this thing off my page?

Frank Moore (artist) rename proposal
Hello Corvus cornix. See Talk:Frank Moore (artist) for a move proposal, based on the AfD discussion that you participated in. EdJohnston 03:38, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Gabriel family proposal
Hello Corvus cornix. Um ok now the whole reason that I became a member to wikipedia was to make a page about my family. Now the whole reson that I wanted to do this was to add the page as a gift from my generation to my Grandfather, my Grandmother and to my father and his nine other siblings. My modavation for this is because that I am the youngest of my generation and the only one who was born after my grandparents died. From what I read on the links you left for me to read I and my countless cousins can only make this page if our family was famous or did many great things. Now I have never meet my Grandfather I have been told that he did many great thing for example he came over from Italy to America just before the first world war all by himself with next to no money before he was even 17. Now if to you this does not seem like a great thing and you want my family to have done something that would have made us famous you should look at my father. My father and his old company Susquehanna America which invented the modern nursing home. Finally in conclusion I am sorry if I may have come across a little harsh but I realy want to get this page made so that my siblings and cousins can show it to our parents before they die because out of my father and his nine siblings only six of them are still alive and they are all at least 67 years old and some of them are in bad health and even when they are gone this page on wikipedia could be used by our kids to show them thier past. Now my last argument to try to convince you to let this page be made is that my family's past is not boring and is full of so many amazing stories that anyone could enjoy and find wisdom from. So with the last bit of energy left in my tired body I ask you Corvus cornix please give approval for this page even if it will take several months to make due to the fact it will have over 40 people working on it. Please with my heart, soul, mind, and body please give approval for this page. from someone who hopes to be your friend MPG1st

Message
Yes, I've readen many times durin fair use overuse. In fact, I joined that discussion since the beginning. In this case, a single image to depict a character (the article in question is all about a character) isn't fair use overuse neither mass use of fair use images in articles. I suggest you read it too. Cheers!

Kayvan Novak
I noticed a query on WP:AN/I by User:AnemoneProjectors about a possible copyright infringment about http://www.fonejacker.tv taking information from the Wikipedia article Kayvan Novak (and the IMBD entry) and placing a copyright tag on it claiming it is their own. Just letting you know I contacted the owners of the fonejacker.tv website and hopefully this can be resolved. I'll let you know if anything else develops. Cheers! — M o e   ε  23:39, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Golfdude8000
Hi, you posted on my article if it could be changed to a location without an honorific, Are you suggesting that it does not entail Dr. Melvyn Rubenfire? Because I did make a page originally as Melvyn Rubenfire, but I realized I forgot the doctor title and I thought it would be more respectful to use the title. Is there a downside to a honorific?

Golfdude REPLY:
Seems as those it was fixed automatically to redirect. Thank you very, very, very much, I am new to wikipedia article writing, and I appreciate your guidance. I definitely do not take annoyance, I think it's important that wikipedia has such policies.

re: Dean V
Sorry, that was a mistake. I perceived that the template was under a blank heading when I removed it which didn't make any sense. For the notable guitarists sections - those things just need to be nuked as far as I'm concerned. They are in almost every guitar article and they never have sources. There are rarely any reliable sources backing up such claims. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk  19:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:Sparkzilla
I'm currently not criticising Sparkzilla because everyone else is doing a good job of that. I do feel it is important that good faith be applied in this scenario. Sparkzilla has posted a request for investigation into an admins activities and received nothing but personal attacks in return. SlimVirgin's own prior history with Sparkzilla and modus operandi in the current matter requires attention.--ZayZayEM 01:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Reliable Sources
Hi I uploaded "The Citizens Foundation" article. The sources of this article are: 1.Various newspaper articles 2.The website of the organization 3.TCF annual reports

I have provided as many reliable refrences possible and have added some external links too. However some infromation (figures about the number of schools and students)is very recent which I got from the organization's employees. Uptill now, there is no written source available for that information.

What should i do? Are the present refrences and external links enough to make my article reliable ? --Ayesha munir 08:10, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Look at the edit just before my reversion: the user in question blanked the entire page, one section at a time.

Since then, he's been making more focused edits to try to improve the article. That's great, and I'm glad to see it--what I reverted was his wholesale blanking of the page. Tlesher 20:50, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

List of Victoria Crosses by School
Hello, I was wondering why this has the AFD tag (i.e....This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy....

Hi, I'm a neutral editor familiar with the field and I'm working on bringing this article into alignment with policy. GlassFET 21:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Disagree, they've got multiple independent reviews of their product in mainstream media. That makes them notable. GlassFET 21:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)


 * You're rather quick on the trigger and that would appear to violate WP:BITE with respect to the article creator. True, they had WP:COI, but you could have looked into it more. It took me seconds to determine that the company was notable, even though I hadn't heard much about them before. GlassFET 21:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Flag icons
"Flag icons bug me no end, everywhere I see them. I wish we could get rid of them everywhere." Have you seen WP:FLAG, an attempt to rationalise how we use flag icons? If not it might be worth a look. --John 13:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, I feel pretty much the same way. The essay is still at a fairly fluid stage. There are a few of us who would reduce greatly the number of flags displayed. Basically I would only use them on sports and international articles. Maybe see you at the talk page there some time. --John 00:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree. The guideline specifically says not to use them in birth and death dates. My monobook code will now delete those. If you want to use it, feel free. Lightmouse 10:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Current events/Inclusion
The reason Portal:Current events/Inclusion includes a specific date is because events on the portal are put in local time. Thus, if, for example, an event happens in the morning in Australia, the page needs to be updated. Additionally, if the first notable event of the day doesn't occur until the afternoon in Canada, there's really no need to have an empty box sitting on the portal all day. --  tariq abjotu  23:19, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

But when I went to Portal:Current events, I wasn't seeing today's or yesterday's news, and it said that July 19 was Wednesday. When I changed it, that problem went away. Corvus cornix 23:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Get an admin to look at the full history--there's an initial version from the other user, just like I said, that said, in its entirety: "Paulo Barros is a Portuguese guitar virtuoso." I was just doing my best to improve on the other user's version. Sohelpme 05:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Maggot
I wasn't attaking anyone I was just saying the truth... and all that I wrote was true... most of maggots are posers... and most of them are metalheads... most of them are just slipknot fans... I'm a maggot my self so... what is the problem?

sooo... are you saying that i have no sources? ok... first of all, search in google the words "slipknot maggot", before you see the little worm in rotting corpses hanging in a tree by a rope, you're gonna see that maggot is a slipknot fan. and if you're not satisfied with these, you can see urbandictionary.com there you CAN actuallly se that the word "maggot" alone means too a slipknot fan (of course not in a literal way... but death metal in a literal way is like... dunno, uranium) that's why the song "pulse of the maggots", is not about just maggots, it's about Maggots

OK... first of all... you said first that I was making a personal attack, I wasn't; second... i can use any page that apears in google... and third... i mentioned another page... and i know by myself what a maggot is

Wow - that was quick.
I cleaned up that article so that it doesn't read like such an advertisment. Incidentally, the article is not my creation. I am working with the AFC Backlog Drive and figured that the suggested article had enough sources to warrant an article. Anyway, I'm done with it - got to get back to my original project - if it still does not meet Wikipedia Guidelines then by all means delete it =D.

One last thing, how on earth did you find it so quickly? I had scarcely put the thing up and was about to add the tag to the talk page when I got the message that you had nominated it for deletion. --Counterpart0 18:50, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Sutton Grammar School
Why did you delete the entire School Song?

UPDATE: The copyright is from 1935, and in the name of the then Headmaster (Mr Cockshutt). He is now dead. Surely, therefore, the School Song can feature on the school's Wikipedia site. Many other schools have their school songs on their Wikipedia page. It's relevant information. The school choir and orchestra performed the school song at a relatively recent music event.

Thanks for reverting my Farquharson stub. I didn't think you could do what the other person had done, but didn't have time to chase up chapter and verse on it. Also it seemed hubristic to do it myself. Can you point me in the right direction for the "do not copy other people's websites" rule?

I do intend to do some real research and flesh out the stub sometime...

Corvus, I removed the names from wifeys world because of stalker issues.

The previous wikipedia volunteer named Tabercil respected this serious issue and monitored the page accordingly (and I might add - did an excellent job too) May I suggest you review his editing.

Otherwise I'm sorry if you interpret removing names and contact information as vandalism rather than protecting this family's personal safety.

Hi Corvus cornix; I see you removed many personal attacks from the  discussion of proposed deletion of Bay Valley Foods.

"Vandalism" on ustream.tv
Hi, just to let you know, I didn't "vandalize" the ustream.tv page. I was the one who created it to begin with, and I have reason to believe it was vandalized the very first time I created it. I wasn't aware of that until it was deleted by an administrator because "Ustream.tv leads to a non-existant page." Then you "reversed" the changes I made to it. Is there any way you can bring back the changes made to it before it was deleted the very first time? Nnssm 02:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm, Mr. Neutron seems to have an upper hand in knowing how to abuse the system yet again. The 3 revert rule violation is alleged as of now, and Mr. Neutron has broken it before I did. I will leave his talk page alone, since he obviously knows to whom to complain, but what he does is concealing information, and I will not allow that, one way or another.

Capricornis 18:59, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

The other parties are the cronies this guy called in to help him. The previous article is a blurb, and non-neutral to boot. The new article is a much better starting point. I am proposing mediation for this article. May the better version win.

ps. i have posted this on Mr. Neutron's talk page in hope to initiate conversation, but he immediately deleted it, probably so you cannot read it.

I also posted a request for mediation on the talk page of the disputed article.

Capricornis 20:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

request for mediation
from what i read in the docs, the parties involved need to agree on mediation first voluntarily, no? so far, all the other parties have been just completely deleting my article, and all my efforts to engage them in discussion have been futile.

Sorry about that. I was reverting with VP at the same time you were. VP got confused and left a vandalism message on the wrong page, which I had to clean up. Seems like a bug. I will post it as so. Thanks. Alexf (Talk/Contribs) 21:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Dr. Bruno Scopacasa
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dr. Bruno Scopacasa, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dr. Bruno Scopacasa is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dr. Bruno Scopacasa, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

RE: Dave Randolph
Hi. Thanks for the note. I would agree that just saying "is a podcast host" would not be a sufficient assertion of notability unless there was some assertion of the notability of the podcast itself (or some other factor to indicate possible notability). However, because we have a long-standing article on the Systm podcast (plus other hosts and related podcast), I felt that the article, albeit borderline, did have some realistic claim to notability. It may well be that the podcast and related articles are eventually deemed not notable, but for now I erred on the side of caution. Cheers TigerShark 19:22, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Sport (software)
I removed the speedy request, because I declined it and put it in afd instead. For WP:CSD to apply: "There is no credible assertion of public domain, fair use, or a free license". Given that the guy who has been authoring the article in a very ad-like way says that he's the author of the copied fluff it seems credible enough to decline speedy; it's still not notable and the article is listed at WP:AFD. Carlossuarez46 21:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I'd much prefer proof rather than assertion, but that's not how the policy is worded. We have procedures and we have people who don't want speedy deletions at all. These collide producing compromise. You can always tag it with so it's two paths toward deletion. Carlossuarez46 21:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

You tagged it, in any event it probably doesn't matter if it went to the copyvio folks they would have seen the talk page assertion and given it sufficient time (probably longer than Afd takes) to send the email. Carlossuarez46 21:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

There's been a change in G12 to permit credible assertions of copyright. Feel free to talk about it at the talk page to WP:CSD. Carlossuarez46 21:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

--Natevoodoo 22:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

I am not clear on what you are saying on my user talk page. I believe that I am explaining why the deletion was incorrect and while all the arguments made against it are invalid. I don't believe the standard you seem to be requesting (and infallible first draft within a few hours) is at all fair or universally applied to other pages on this site.

If you can show me a page stating that I am required to do this and that you are not arbitrarily imposing this standard, I would be happy to read it.

If not then please reconsider your vote and allow others to contribute to the page in a reasonable time span.

--Natevoodoo 22:21, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

But I don't understand the justification for deleting my original comments and then protecting the page so that the revision has to be made on a new page.
 * Okay thanks for explaining yourself a bit better.

If their opinions were flawed and the decision to delete was made fast on bad information but that doesn't mean they were wrong to delete and the page won't be reinstated, then what does that say about the content on wikipedia as a whole?

Is this some kind of fascist control by the few, likely biased, individuals who happen to show up that day to vote and are informed enough to know how?

Please point me to "Policy Violations" as I feel this must violate some but I have yet to be pointed where to look.

Also I'm not going away on this if that is what the multiple levels of bureaucracy is intended to achieve.

--Natevoodoo 22:37, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey These are some good points. I see that you are trying to build some consensus here. I do feel that I am not the only one being defensive. I do get irritated when people take action without discussion naturally.

You are stating here that if a consensus of anyone who shows up on the first day is reached, then it doesn't take 5 days. Certainly the article I put up wasn't given 5 days. I am not aware that my article adds nothing new to the last article, as I don't have a copy of that article to read. Do you? By reading the deletion discussion it seems that they may not have had all the articles I have. I certainly feel as I have already stated that calling Reuters not a reliable source is a violation of that policy. I also feel that disclaiming the notability was a violation which is why I quoted what I did on the DRV (sic) page. Please see this and tell me how it does or does not talk about a policy violation on their part. Just because someone somewhere has not heard of Paul Addis, it does not mean they are not notable. According to authoritative news sources he is, right?

Anything you can do to further help me see your perspective is appreciated. I will do what I can to get people to collaborate on a new page, but less contributions are likely than if people could find the Paul Addis site directly and it seems to be an unfair standard given the huge extent of crap/trivia of wikipedia.

How do I do this exactly? Link?

Just some more thoughts

--Natevoodoo 23:00, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Please help someone has place a tag for deletion on my Paul Addis User Page. I am not looking for attention. I'm just a noob who seeks clarity. WebHamster seems dead set on actively attacking all my efforts. Please Please Please. I just want to work on the page and make it better. --Natevoodoo 17:03, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Mistake
I was at a library today to print some school papers and I needed the birthdate of Keneny Chesney for a report. So i went to Wikipedia to check it. Then i finished typing and printed it out. Then i came back and X'd out of the Word document and i must have not W'd out of the Wikipedfia page with my account logged in. It was about 10 Minutes before i realized it while i was eating at Mc Donalds so i rushed back here and got on a computer to X out but someone had done it for me. Then i checked and i had something on my Accoutn from you and about editing the Kenny Chesney Page. I DID NOT edit this page i took a birthdate off of it and thats it. I would like to say that there has been a mistake and IT WAS someoneELSE who did this on my account.

Thank you in Advance

Revisiting Articles for deletion/Sport (software)
PLEASE REVIEW I am leaving you this message because you have participated in Articles for deletion/Sport (software) I have reduced the Sport (software) article to a stub with one valid assertion of notability which can be verified by a reliable source and is properly cited. From digging through the sources that Mr. Badger provided, I have concluded that the software has just made it under the wire to qualify as notable because it was the subject of a lecture at an international symposium of SmallTalk programmers just a week ago. I have tagged the article for WikiProject_Free_Software and I have posted a note about the article on their TO-DO list. The article is not what Mr. Badger envisioned, but it might be worth keeping now. Mr. Badger has had many Wikipedians drill into his head warnings about the problems with his conflict of interest and unfamiliarity with Wikipedia standards and practices, and from direct email correspondence with him I am sure he will comply. Please let me know what you think of these changes. Thanks very much. OfficeGirl 00:27, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: Matchi kaguri (original harry potter character)
Hi. Which speedy criteria do you believe this fits into. It does not seem to have been a test page and "fan fic" is not a criteria. Let me know and I will be happy to delete. Cheers TigerShark 22:42, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem to fit into any of those. The creator hasn't exactly said that it is fanfic, just that it is not in the books. I would suggest speaking to them and confirming exactly what this is. We don't need to alienate potentially good editors by whacking their contributions with a speedy deletion, especially as we are not 100% sure of the facts. I am still happy to delete once this is clearer. Cheers TigerShark 22:52, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, that's fine. In that case I have deleted it on the basis of G7 (they didn't exactly request it, but implicitly agreed to it). BTW please do not use the rollback function to revert good faith edits (see here) and consider using WP:PROD rather than AFD in these kinds of cases. Thanks TigerShark 22:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Because PROD is a lightweight process designed exactly for situations were an article doesn't fit in CSD but is not expected to be a controversial deletion. Either way the article will exist for a few days, but that is not a problem. Thanks TigerShark 23:02, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I also just had a quick read of the AFD page you created, just before I deleted it (per you request). I understand that you were feeling frustrated, but my actions were in good faith, so try to keep it civil, eh? TigerShark 23:43, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi C.C.,

I see that the editor who started the Cinema in Delhi article has made every one of the changes you requested, including the name change. You mentioned that would change your vote, and closing time is less than 24 hours from now. Please take another look and give us your reaction on the AfD page. Thanks!

You did cross out the "Delete" and thank Rohtak8, but no "Keep" vote. I hate to bug another editor on his talk page, so I won't bother you again. Please take another look at the AfD.

How was that an attack?
I didn't say that he was annoying, evil, or mean, I've seen his talk, and he's had an attempted RfC, that he wouldn't comply with, and he has done such in the past. It wasn't an attack, it was a mild oppinion. Yamakiri 19:19, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * More points,


 * It was not a biography
 * It was not a image/page
 * It was a response
 * It was a matter of personal oppinion
 * It was on a page that wouldn't be so easily deleted
 * And, I assume that was a level three or four warning there.

Not to be rude, but I don't feel that to be as bad as you make it out to be. I'm sorry if you disagree, but it was just an oppinion.Yamakiri 19:23, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * But I've got proof! He's removed bits on his talkpage requesting a RfC so it wouldn't go through, which it didn't, he's acted irrational in mannor several times previously, such as blocking users he had problems with.  And if I may, disregard this if you don't care, but how did it hurt anyone?  I'm not trying to be ignorant, I'm just puzzled.  Yamakiri 20:42, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I think Yamakiri's last point was that the uw-attack template wasn't appropriate. That's the template I use when I delete an attack page and warn the user. Perhaps you wanted uw-npa1. Or, perhaps, you could have said exactly what you meant, rather than trusting a template to be misinterpretted.  Leebo  T / C  20:43, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok then, I'm sorry if I made you mad, I wasn't intending anything bad... *Feels guilty* Yamakiri 20:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Still, I feel that was a bit emotionless, I'm kinda new here, so I might be missing out on something, but that was harsh (mabey strong would be a better word...). Yamakiri 20:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Nerdy derk
No identifiable person was the subject of the article, so there was no WP:BLP issue. Anyway, as I understood it, the article wasn't about any person, identifiable or otherwise: it was a about a purported slang neologism, "nerdy derk". Also, when there's already a speedy tag on the page, it's not necessary to remove it and substitute another. --Rrburke(talk) 23:06, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi... I didn't restore a page; I merely reverted to an earlier version, with a tag,, which is often the quickest way to a speedy delete.  Since the page has already been deleted before, it's a quick way to get it gone.  Anyway, even if Derk were a first name, it being only a first name, there is really no BLP issue.  Finally, as I mentioned, it's generally not considered good form to substitute your own speedy tag for another editor's that's already on the page.  --Rrburke(talk) 23:15, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Discography
Hi there, thanks for your message regarding the album covers on band pages. Regarding them not being permitted as tumbnails in discography sections of band pages, is this a new aspect of the fair use policy? Their inclusion in small discographies has been a common feature in the pages of musicians on Wikipedia over the past few years, I wasn't aware this was no longer the case. I'd appreciate it if you could point me to any relevant discussion about the issue, or policy pages. Thanks in advance. --Featherfin 22:47, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back to me. After reading through the policy page and some of the discussion surrounding the issue, and taking into account your comments, I am going to put the discography back on the page. The images in question are small thumbnails and are certainly conducive to improving the nature of the article by illustrating visually the recordings of the band. If and when the fair use standards change, and such inclusion becomes invalid, I feel the images should be removed then. At present there are multiple other pages that still contain discographies with thumbnail images on band pages to support the written content, which have not been retroactively altered, which begs the question of why The Cooper Temple Clause article specifically should suffer from the loss of visual aids. I respect and encourage the avoidance of including FU images in new articles, but unless the removal of discographies is going to be comprehensively perused, I see little merit in targeting a sole article. Thanks. --Featherfin 00:32, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Double image
This article does not require any references further than the two issues of Detecttive comics about which it is concerned.

This article contains just about all the internal wikipedia links that it can.

This article is written in the correct tense.

This article is written using unbiased language.

This article is writeen in an attempt to increase the number of Batman storylines which are properly categorised in Wikipedia - especially stories which feature key events for the main characters - such as Jason Todd confronting his father's killer for the final time before he died.

The call for 'wikification' is unjustified.

Sorry about all the "I"'s here, but i don't know you, and I'm sure you want Wikipedia to be what i want it to be - complete & authoritative. If you can do that, you have every right to feel proud about that. At the end of my life, I would have liked to have left more of my knowledge in Wikipedia. You still have time to do that.

So much waste when you find that your contribution to Wikipedia is not only valuable, and appreciated, although you may never see it, but also permanent. In a hundred years time, "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" may not matter, although I hope it does.

URGENT, regarding Aaron Neville's mole and your assertion about the image upload
I am attempting to write a serious article about the pop cultural discussions of Neville's mole, both in terms of parodies and in terms of the peculiar presence of the mole despite concerns of friends and family about the health risks. I am aware that the mole has been a source of vandalism edits on Neville's article, but I am trying to create a proper article. My image upload was not meant as an attack, but rather as an identification of the mole for audiences unfamiliar with Neville's appearance. If you deem it an attack, then by all means remove it, but what measure should one take to depict the subject of the article? It IS a pop cultural phenomenon. The article is NOT nonsense.
