Speedy deletion tags on images
Hi there - just thought I should leave a note to say I've removed the speedy deletion tags you applied to a lot of our photos of Irish coins. When you tag something for speedy deletion, please ensure that you indicate which one of the criteria listed here are met - in this case, I think you were aiming for "CSD F6", as the media are indisputably not free. Nevertheless, the uploader had labelled it with a "non free use rationale", showing why he felt the images could still be used in spite of this (e.g. the inability to ever have free images in such a case). As a result, if you want to tag them for deletion, the correct way to do it is with the template Template:Dfu, which will dispute the rationale the original uploader has used. I did not remove the tag from the images which did not have such a rationale.

If you'd like any help, or have any questions, please do leave a message on my talk page. All the best --Saalstin (talk) 15:52, 8 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I've removed the speedy deletion tags you places on some pictures of Irish coins following discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion. Essentially, speedy deletion is used in clear cut cases, and it strikes me that the matter is not entirely clear cut. First of all, while Ireland has retrospectively applied copyright to its currency, this may not be recognised in the US, and Wikipedia works primarily according to US law. Secondly, it's my understanding that Irelamnd applies Freedom of Panorama; i.e. a three dimensional copyrighted work, such as a coin, can still be photographed freely so long as it is in a public place. And thirdly, even if the images themselves are copyrighted, many of them could still be used under fair use law according to outr non-free content creteria. So while I don't claim to know for certain what should be done with the images, I don't believe they should be deleted without some wider discussion. If you still think they should be deleted, you can still list them at WP:PUI or WP:FFD to get the opinions of a wider range of editors]].

Speedy deletion declined: File:Francia 20 franchi.JPG
Hello Mvllez, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of File:Francia 20 franchi.JPG - a page you tagged - because: '''this file is on Wikimedia Commons. Please tag it there if needed.''' Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know.  So Why  20:18, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Irish money
Hi Mvllez,

Thanks for your message - from the link you provided, would I be right in assuming that you'd uploaded your photos to the Wikimedia Commons? They use stricter criteria than the English Wikipedia (because if a file is at the Commons it can be used anywhere, whereas if it's only on en.wiki, it can only be used on en.wiki). The photos you tagged had a 'fair use rationale' on them which is used where a user wants to explain why their non-free content should be permitted, and there's a policy on non-free content - basically to use it as little as possible, and only where unavoidable - so, for example, copyright coins can never have an image that is within copyright, so under the US law (state of Florida, where Wikipedia servers are based), there's a limited tolerance of the breach, so long as it's not commercial, low quality, etc. I hope this helps somewhat? (If you've got any questions, comments or reply, do please leave me a message, or you might find more knowledgeable people at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content) Cheers, --Saalstin (talk) 15:48, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Algerian money images
Hi there, I removed your Dfu tags from the ALgerian money pictures, as the reson was clearly invalid. The rules for commons do not apply to the English language Wikipedia and non free images are allowed here. For fair use images there has to be a fair use rationale, which there was in this case. Let me know if you need help uploading pictures, as I also work at WP:IFU. You seemed to uploaded nothing here yet. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:38, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Mvllez. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mvllez~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 02:03, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
