Blanking pages
You said: "I did not blank the image from the Shakira page, someone entered a dead link to an image that does not exist, I simply removed the dead link from that page. Should I refrain from removing dead links from now on? Also, you could go about it a different way of informing me that I made a mistake than a threatening post, it was a simple mistake that I deleted the second image, I am EXTREMLY sorry for ANY inconvenience that I may have POSSIBLY caused ANYONE in the world that used Wikipedia from my menial trivial mistake"


 * There was no problem with the image. I wonder if it was a temporary problem with the image server.  I'm sorry if you thought the warning went overboard.  It was the standard "blanking2" warning and I gave it to you because you (or at least, the IP address you were editing from) had already received the "blanking1" warning.  --Yamla 01:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Image:JeriRyan.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:JeriRyan.jpg. However, you have provided no evidence that you paid wireimage.com for the use of this image and we cannot use it under fair-use, as you may be aware from having read WP:FU. As such, we will have to remove this image within 48 hours unless you can provide the receipt for payment. Please do not upload any more such fair-use images. Thanks. --Yamla 14:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Album succession boxes
Hi there, thanks for adding all of these! If you continue to add them, can you please slightly change the template you're using? Instead of having "Number 1 Album", can you modify this to "number-one album"? The latter is proper formatting and it would also match all the succession boxes found on songs pages. Thanks! - eo 18:43, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I will change like you requested, but I prob. won't go back and change all the ones I already did until I complete all the other ones down the line, if you would, could you please help change those ones around? It would just be so much work in the wrong direction, so if they aren't yet, I will eventually change them all so they match. thanks for the advice!Ejfetters 19:16, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Lighten up, guy
Incumbent, 'bent...it's a pun. Hence the apostrophe; no harm/offense was meant. Sorry, I guess. -CapitalQ 02:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Seven of Nine
Whoa! Hold up, Darling! Noticed you've been doing a lot of work with this article and those associated with it. Thanks! Also noticed, however, that you've uploaded images that are all ready uploaded. Hold up a second and sort this out before you get too far - duplicate uploads add unneccessary strain on the systems (Wikipedia's, yours, mine, etc.). For instance the pic Image:7of9.jpg is the same as Image:Seven of nine.jpg. Sometimes, its easier to add or adjust an existing fair use rationale before adding, or subtracting, pics; or you can move an image if you want it renamed, or you can upload a new image over an existing one of the same desired name. If you remove an image such that it is no longer linked to any articles, please nominate it for deletion. Anyway, I'm gonna let you sort this out - I tend to shy away from too much image work and I was all confused when I logged on. This might help out. Thanks, Zue Jay (talk)  14:15, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Help with images I upload getting marked for deleting
Ok, sorry to bother you again, but you may have noticed someone took the initiative, and I just continued with it, to replace all those star trek publicity shots with screen caps and adding fair use rationales and copyright info, sources, etc. Now, is there a way to not get these listed for deletion when someone just clears them off the article and replaces them with another that we know will be deleted again for reasons already discussed. A few of these I uploaded get tagged as orphans now that people have cleared them off the articles. Just a thought, if I posted them temporarily on my user page when the tag comes up would that stop the bots from tagging them as orphans? Ejfetters 16:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You can't post non-free images to your userpages (per item #9 of WP:NFCC), and this won't stop them to be deleted as "orphan" anyway.


 * Whenever one screenshot is replaced be one of those images-believed-to-be-promotional, what you should do is revert the replacement and nominate the bad-promotional image for deletion. It could help to add some commented text to the articles, nearby the images,  explaining that those are not to be replaced by images wrongly believed to be promotional. --Abu badali (talk) 16:42, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Misterrick
Hi Ejfetters. As User:Misterrick is indefinitely (and deservedly) blocked from editing Wikipedia, there is little point in informing him - he couldn't do anything about such a notice anyway. Neil  ╦  10:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Ford Taurus
Check the differences pal, the guy removed two sections from the article for no reason. Karrmann 14:36, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

hey man, thank you so much for the proposal. However, today I just did a big cleanup on the Ford Taurus article. I have removed pointless images like that of the engines and whatnot, and I have added sections about its development, put the awards all into one section, and formatted the references, and added some more, as well as expanding on some points. I would just love it if you would review this new cleanup I just finished, and would tell me any more ways in which I can improve it. Then, we can work to correct those flaws, and send it into peer review, get some more feedback, and hopefully finally get it featured. The Mercury Sable article needs serious attention, however. It needs a major cleanup, new images, and the fifth generation section seriously needs to be expanded and updated. Thank you for any input! Karrmann 22:31, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Alright, I took your suggestion and created a new page called List of Ford Taurus Models, which has information on all the different models. hopefully, the Taurus article won't look so screwed up to some users. If you think there is any way to improve it, LMK, and I will get to it in the morning. Karrmann 04:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I hope not. I put a detailed fair use rationale on each page, so I hope that would allow them to understand. Whwat I find retarded is the fact that they think that we can take any picture of any car on a whim. Its not that easy, there are many hard to find cars that we can't get free images of. Karrmann 23:01, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Image:Kirk.jpg
I find this entire interaction to be distasteful. It would have been much much easier if you simply stated that there was a better replacement image rather than wasting my time with fair-use rationales and etc. In the future please just simply tell me what it is that you are doing without involving redundant policies. Thanks. -- Cat chi? 13:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry for upsetting you, it was not my intention. I stated on the images for deletion page it should be replaced with a screencap and waited a bit, but I figured I would try to be of help instead of saying what to do, and just upload it for you.  I will try not to upset you in the future, sorry. Ejfetters 23:57, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for helping out. I look forward in working with you again since I now realize you were trying to help while going by the book. :) -- Cat chi? 15:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh the image is deleted yet it is on commons. Fun. Admiral Alan G. Kirk. Not James T. Kirk :) -- Cat chi? 16:36, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Zelda Images Speedy Delete notices
Unless you are using a bot, it would be far easier for you to just do the FUR on your own.

The template on Image:04B Stallord.jpg should work - most of the images already list the source they were obtained from, and the purpose is always the same - resolution and portion can be figured easily, as well.KrytenKoro 01:14, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Verb tense
I just saw your rewrite to the JLPicard article. Please note that when writing about fictional people and events, it is appropriate to use present, not past, tense. --EEMeltonIV 21:47, 1 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, didn't notice I did that, I will try to fix the Riker article as well, as I overhauled it recently. Ejfetters 21:48, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Your sig
Hi, please edit your signature to include a link to your user page or user talk page. It just makes it easier for people to get in contact with you. Thanks.  howcheng  {chat} 23:41, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Races in The Legend of Zelda series recent change
Your comment (emphasis added)

"rv vandalism, blanking, removing valid speedy deletion tag, image has no fair use rationale, if none provided image will be deleted)"

seems innapropriate, as the editor was not vandalizing - they thought the tag was unneeded.

I understand that you feel you need to get this all done now, for some reason, but there's no reason to be calling other editors vandals when they were performing a legitimate (if incorrect) edit.KrytenKoro 23:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Removal of image from Emily Procter
I've asked about this on the talk page there, but perhaps you're not watching that page. What policy specifically required the removal of this image? I can't find it. The image is one of Emily Procter as the character she portrayed on The West Wing. Cheers, Kasreyn 02:43, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
