WP:POINTY in a nutshell
Don't follow the rules or consensus if it might offend someone. Macktheknifeau (talk) 04:15, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
 * And the complete and total ignorance of WP:NOTPOINTY. "As a rule, someone engaging in "POINTy" behavior is making edits which s/he does not really agree with, for the deliberate purpose of drawing opposition." None of my edits in the last two blocks are ones I do not agree with. Macktheknifeau (talk) 04:19, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

New Stadium Design/Artist Impression
Hi, I'm currently working on a sandbox for new football stadium that is currently under construction. I have access to various design documents (as they are public record because it's a government project, although not public domain as they were created by a private company who did the design) that includes 2 low resolution (I've since cropped them to 450 wide x 250 high) 3d renders as a kind of "artists impression". 1 of the interior & 1 of the exterior. My question is about if it is appropriate/possible to use these two images for the article, and if so what criteria best apply. The stadium has only just begun construction so there is no ability to take photos of a non-existent interior or exterior. Thank you. Macktheknifeau (talk) 10:39, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the first thing you need to determine is whether the stadium is notable enough for a stand-aone article because it might make justifying non-free use a bit easier to do if it is. I am not sure if there are specific notability guidelines for buildings under construction, but WP:GNG lists the basic criterion that typically need to be met. Using the image in a sub-section of another article is not totally impossible, but it can be harder to justify non-free use per WP:NFCC for such a usage than when the image is being used as the primary means of identification in a stand-alone article. In any case, the copyright license that I think you should use is Template:Non-free architectural work and a non-free use rationale you could possibly use (if you want) is Template:Non-free use rationale 2, but you might prefer another template or even writing out your own rationale. If you want to see some examples of what others have done, check Category:Non-free architectural works, but try and remember that WP:OTHERIMAGE is not a justification for non-free use. One last thing is that you shouldn't upload anything that is non-free content until it's ready to be added to the article namespace; otherwise, it's likely going to get tagged for speedy deletion per WP:F5 because of WP:NFCC or WP:NFCC. -- Marchjuly (talk) 12:09, 13 September 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for that explanation. You have a good point regarding notability. I'll look into that, while working on the sandbox article. I will also keep in mind to not upload anything until the article itself is ready. Thank you. Macktheknifeau (talk) 08:24, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

A couple of things
First of all, my revert was not incorrect - the WP:BURDEN of proof is on those adding the material. Second, it would be helpful if you would format references correctly, rather than with bare links, as you are creating more work for others. Thank you. Parsecboy (talk) 23:18, 18 March 2018 (UTC) k.
