Are you Michele Renouf, or related to her? --RCS (talk) 16:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

No - I'm a male Briton, she is a female Australian! If we're allowed to ask personal questions - are you Jewish? Oafc1990 (talk) 17:06, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

No - I'm German, though. Another question: do you know that you are moving on a slippery slope, surfinf as you appear to be websites like AAARGH? --RCS (talk) 06:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Are you David Irving (a male Briton) by any chance?--RCS (talk) 06:23, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Photo of Michele Renouf
Hey, Oafc1990 - You claimed in uploading the subject photo that it was "entirely your own work" but it appears just to be a screen grab from a YouTube video. I don't pretend to understand Wikipedia's policies on non-free images or the rest but at the very least it appears that you have misstated the basis of the license. Can you please correct that? Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 23:43, 26 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That's because I made the YouTube video as well. What's the appropriate license in this instance? Oafc1990 (talk) 09:25, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know. As I said, it's all very mysterious to me.  But if you recorded it off the air then I think you probably have a copyright problem, unless there's some kind of fair use exemption.  After all, what you recorded was copyrighted and your filming it doesn't destroy that copyright.  Indeed if you look around you'll find articles here and there that lack an image - not for want of images, but for want of one that doesn't present copyright issues.  Please look into the issue.  Wikipedia is very, very touchy about copyright stuff, so the photo may have to come down.  JohnInDC (talk) 10:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I didn't record it off air as it happens, it was supplied by the producers, so I'll research the most appropriate copyright designation. Oafc1990 (talk) 15:56, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I am going to guess that even if they gave it to you, they still own the copyright and unless they're willing to license the material under a suitably broad license, your only real argument will be some kind of "fair use" of the non-free image. Good luck.  JohnInDC (talk) 16:11, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

August 2016

 * I've just seen your response now. Your edit clearly changed the entire context of a biography by a rewording, and I just wanted to make sure that these were correct.  I believe you've already undid my change.  I took off the warning message from your talk page.  No worries, and happy editing!  -Primetime (talk) 03:15, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
