Speedy deletion nomination of File:DavidGaffneyAuthor.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:DavidGaffneyAuthor.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Revert on parliament diagram
If the diagram I created isn't popularly accepted then that's fine I have no problem with that (when you are bold on wikipedia things usually get reverted). However, the last thing any wikipedian wants is to put a rather notable amount of work into something and then have it trashed with a snarky remark (i.e. eyesore). That kind of discourse is common in the world of politics but it's not necessary on a project where we volunteer our free time. --Shabidoo | Talk 14:07, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

David Cretney MHK
Hi. Thanks for adding the composition diagram to the House of Keys article, Jack. I've just spotted that according to the Manx Labour Party's facebook page David Cretney was elected chairman of the MLP yesterday -- so I guess that he is still a party member after all.. :) -- Picapica (talk) 10:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Kezia Dugdale MSP Scottish Parliament.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Kezia Dugdale MSP Scottish Parliament.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:05, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Free images
Hey Jack - glad to see the uploads of free images to Wikipedia! Just a heads up that the Wikimedia Commons is Wikimedia's free image repository, hosting free images for all Wikimedia projects to share and use. If you'd like to upload a free image to Wikipedia, it's almost always best to upload it to the Commons instead (so that you may use it both on the English Wikipedia, and all other Wikimedia Projects). Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! ~ Super  Hamster  Talk Contribs 22:11, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

2015 UK General Election Results Page and 2010 Scotland Map
Hi there, I am in need some serious help on two fronts, it's regarding the Results breakdown of the United Kingdom general election, 2015 page, it's in a very bad way and is in desperate need of some TLC as well as much more information adding to it, please can you help and also ask your friends to make this a serious priority, if possible could the page be kept roughly in line to the 2010 page but instead of having the results on a county wide with regards to England I was wondering if it could be done on a regional basis as it would look a lot better and easier to follow also if we could have a look at this potentially for the 2010 pages well and even the 2005 page of the same than that would be a much much better way forward. Also whilst still on the graphics topic we need to modify this following map.



This as you can tell is the electoral map of Scotland for both the 2005 and 2010 UK General Elections however there is a major problem as it's been taken from another file and cropped and as a result you can't see the Outer Hebrides nor can you see Orkney and Shetland so please can that be corrected.

Non-free rationale for File:Bjarni Benediktsson.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bjarni Benediktsson.png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Party Colours
I have reverted your edits to party colours because there is no need or consensus to change them. They are fine as they are. Andreas11213 (talk) 01:41, 4 July 2016 (UTC)


 * The need is inconsistency. If you compare the election pages to other pages about Australian politics, you will see that most of them use different colours. By putting one template in another, like I have done, the colours will be the same across Wikipedia. JackWilfred (talk) 01:43, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
 * But you have completely changed the widely accepted colour of the parties. If you wish to make these changes, bring it up in the Politics Portal and gain consensus first, because to be perfectly honest, I don't have a clue what you are takling about. Andreas11213 (talk)
 * I'm not really sure where to seek consensus, so I have put a word in the Australian Politics WikiProject, I imagine editors with an interest in party colour templates will be there. JackWilfred (talk) 02:12, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

The Left (Germany) template color
Hi! Just to comment on your latest edit on Template:The Left (Germany)/meta/color: Cheers. Impru20 (talk) 22:27, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 1) First, your statement that "This red has been used for a long time in templates and such" seems wrong, seeing how the actual red used before change was #AA0000 and not the one you added, which was #800000 (which is nigh to brown, actually, not red).
 * 2) Purple is indeed used to represent the party in German media, so another statement of yours ("purple is never really associated with the party") that is not correct. Check these: , just for the latest German federal election, but it's widely used for state elections too. Also, maps and charts in Wikipedia do actually use purple/pink over dark red, indeed: File:Bundestagswahl2009 Zweitstimmen.svg, File:German Federal Election - Party list vote results by state - 2009.png, File:Germany Federal Election 2013 Map.svg.
 * 3) Then, the only official "red" color for the party is just red (#FF0000, would be), not dark red. Dark red is, thus, not "more accurate". It would be as accurate as purple, with purple's advantage that it's more easily distinguishable from SPD's color in charts, maps and such. This would be the same case as CDU's color. It's not black (its official party color is orange, and maybe blue), but black is the one customarily used to represent it, as well as the most common. Impru20 (talk) 22:27, 23 November 2016 (UTC)
 * 4) That "it would be a very large and unnecessary task to change it" doesn't seem a valid argument. Specially seeing how purple is the color actually used in charts, maps and such (as I've shown to you earlier in this comment). Wikipedia is a work in progress. Changes may be eventually done where needed, so that's not really that much of an issue.
 * Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. Firstly, I put #800000 by accident, I should have put #AA0000 as you pointed out. I still think dark red would be better, but you've convinced me on purple. I'll have a look over parliamentary diagrams and other things to see what needs changing.

Re: Parliamentary diagrams
You're welcome. And thanks for explaining the cases of the reversions in Ireland and Turkey. I personally think that when the diagram shows the literal seat location it will be better for them to not use the arc but to use the shape of their plenary, like with the Westmister systems or like in the Congress of Mexico. Otherwise it get confusing, but is another matter. It could be a good idea still to have a separated diagram with the spectrum composition even if is not use in the actual article for educational purposes or to use in elections articles before they are seated. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 21:05, 26 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Hi Jack, a question; don't you think the Westmister style diagram would be more fitting for the Irish Parliament? Is the system they use. --Dereck Camacho (talk) 04:45, 28 August 2017 (UTC)

Interference in Norway 2017 election articles.
I'd appreciate if you'd avoid changing party colors without providing any reason, and replacing an image file that is used across Wikis in several languages with an identical one, again with no explanation provided. If you want to make a uniform change to an image that is used on several articles and versions of Wikipedia, just update that image; don't post another one and replace the original manually. The original file that you just replaced has to be updated, as the final result gives the SP party 1 extra seat at the expense of the FRP. That update can be made easily if all the parliament diagrams are the same file, but if you've gone and put your own, identical and erroneous diagram in (and in only some articles), then there's confusion. — Μαρκος Δ  15:55, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry but I can't agree with anything you have pulled me up on here. I accept that I didn't provide a reason for updating the Norwegian Labour Party's colour, I reverted it back providing a reason, to which you disagreed with no basis and rudely demanded that I don't revert again. I ask that you go to the Labour Party's website, and use a colour picker on the logo, you'll find that the colour I updated it with is correct.


 * The reason why I didn't update your parliamentary diagram is because yours has, for some reason, been rastorised into a PNG file. Parliamentary diagrams should be SVG vector files. That's why I had to make a new one. If the diagram is incorrect, all you have to do is change it yourself, or, if you have some issue working with SVG files, ask me to change it.


 * In future I ask that you look closer before making changes, and think about the tone in which you're speaking to other editors. JackWilfred (talk) 16:02, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * On Labor's color code, you are wrong. I gave you a clear reason as to why your change was out of place: the code you insist on including does not match the actual logo as displayed in the article. They are, undeniably, two distinct colors. Notably though, all parties naturally print their logos in different color variations over time. Perhaps a different logo is displayed on their current website, than the one in the article. But unless Labor come up with a major logo update, we should stick with the version actually used here. And unilaterally changing party colors like you did, especially without any reasoning, is not okay.


 * On the matter on replacing the use of a PNG file with an SVG file, that's perfectly fine. A conflict would have been avoided, however, had you provided an edit summary. However, as my file has already been taken into use in other articles and WPs, I have to ask you since I don't know myself — is there no way to simply "update" my original file as your file? That is, to effectively convert the original PNG file into your SVG one, without actually having two separate files? That way, we avoid having two distinct files, and avoid further confusion.


 * Finally, I apologize for the rude tone; your contributions are of course as valid and valuable as any. — Μαρκος Δ  16:37, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Labour's logo and overall branding has been notably updated. The only reason I haven't changed the logo on Wikipedia myself is that on Labour's website the 'Arbeiderpartiet' isn't part of the logo image file, it's seperate text, and the logo itself isn't an SVG file, it's a path script. The next best option in my view is to keep the old logo (which I recognise has the same rose) but to change the colour template to #E01220, a colour which now features all over the website and on the website's logo. I am very rarely asked to seek consensus for template changes, as usually my edits are based on seeking accuracy, although I admit that an edit summary would have been helpful.


 * I apologise for not providing an edit summary. There is no way to edit files of one format and replace them with files of another format. I respectfully request that you request deletion for your PNG file, and use my SVG file instead.


 * Apology accepted. I totally get that people put some time into Wikipedia edits and are miffed to see it reverted or messed with. It's cool. I'll try to ensure I provide edit summaries in future to avoid misunderstandings. JackWilfred (talk) 16:50, 12 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Alright, then I understand your reasoning. And I have now nominated the PNG file for deletion. Thanks for the discussion, and your edits :) — Μαρκος Δ  17:05, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

Help
Maybe you can help. I'm trying to update the with  which I think suits better as the file is suppose to show the seating (I personally think that, if the file is suppose to show the seating then instead of an arc is better to use a similar looking images of the parliament's plenarium) but no matter what I do it's always invisible. I don't know if is matter of size or a technical problem or what. The original is in svg of course, I ad this in jpg because in svg happened the same even as a new file. What do you think? --Dereck Camacho (talk) 07:37, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The file that I was trying to use was svg, that's the strange part. I fact the new version was uploaded and replace the current one but it could not be seen.
