Need copyright help
Hi! How do I get the copyright stuff for my picture of Kristin Kreuk? (Kyla 23:53, 21 September 2005 (UTC))
 * Hi. First of all nice to meet you. As for the pic of KK I'm not sure that can be used in any capacity on wiki. I think you will agree that it isn't a magazine cover but actually from inside the magazine. This most likely will make it copyrighted - although I'm unsure where you found that copyright notice since it looks out of place. What is wrong with the Toro cover that you used to use? I always thought KK looks better on that one anyway. --PTSE 10:57, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Disambiguation Work
Disambiguation is important, but it is better to have a link point to a disambiguation page, than point to the wrong specific article. I bring this up because I noted your change to Twizel which pointed to Watercraft and not Sport rowing... Limegreen 01:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
 * That article was only tangentially about rowing. If you'd clicked through to the Lake where it happens it would have been a little clearer that it was competitive rowing. On the other hand, most of the time, someone with better knowledge will check (although I don't often bother because I'm a bit slack). Anyway, keep up the good work. I fixed up all the other New Zild oriented rowing pages I think. Cheers, Limegreen 01:23, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the assistance disambiguating Mine, we have that one finished now. Thaagenson 17:50, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Baseball on Wikicities
Hello PTSE, Googie Man here. I'm writing to you because I've seen that you make some edits on baseball players on Wikipedia. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks!  Googie Man ( Talk), 17:37, 5 January 2006 (UTC).

Katie Holmes
Greetings! You have edited the Katie Holmes page in the past. I've completely reworked the article and have posted it on WP:PR in the hopes of advancing it to WP:FAC. I would be grateful for your comments at Peer review/Katie Holmes/archive1. PedanticallySpeaking 18:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Kristen Kreuk
Hi. What exactly is the "Google test" that you cited on the Talk Page for that article? Thanks. Nightscream 08:02, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Virginieledoyen.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Virginieledoyen.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Kevin 09:57, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

I have removed this image from the Virginie Ledoyen article because it is used only to illustrate the cover subject, and therefore does not qualify as fair use. Kevin 09:58, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Lonympics
You made me feel suicidal after all the pages you deleted. I added useful info How can you suggest my pages are spam. You are a bully what upsets me is that you probably had a smug smile on your face after wrecking my life, and destroying my work. Now you have probably added me to your watch list and will follow me around removing anything i do. People like you Little Hitler type people. Who bully people and then expect them to grovel to them. You are a bully A little Hitler. What annoys me is your idea of leisure time is wrecking other peoples time. anmd then coming up with some spurious moral justific\ation for it by claiing E VERY single page I ever did is spam. You sopent half a day wrecking all my work, that i sepnt moths creating, and that's it all gone in a night's "fun". You have deleted every link I have ever done you are a bully you are not anti spam you are going around deleting legitamate links. You even deleted pages on Irish PMs that lists the birthdates of every Irish PM How can you call that spam you are a bully. Put my pages back up. Then you ask everyone to help delting my work why. I have added lots of work to wikipedia your onluy satifaction seems to be destroying me Why answer me why. And don't just be robot giving an answer you bully. Wjy are you so vindictive do you want to destory me why>? I demand you put my pages back and stop bullying me why did you go out of your way to get me why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Newuser123 (talk • contribs)

If you want to remove spam why not look at the "antifeminsm" page there are pages advertising a forum why will you not go after them instead of someone like me who has done no harm, are you againme me poltically. I want to know and give me your real name and address. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Newuser123 (talk • contribs)


 * You're welcome. It's unfortunate how pained he was about this whole thing, but he was clearly uninterested in Wikipedia except as an inbound link. It's amazing how impossible it is to reason with some people. &mdash; Saxifrage ✎ 00:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Supermodels
Hey!! There are alot of supermodel stubs here at wikipedia. The only non stubs seem to be the VS Angels. I was wondering if you could please help add more/edit articles of supermodels such as Doutzen Kroes, Jessica Stam, Gemma Ward, and Bianca Balti. Thanks. Lil Flip246 16:33, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

...What?
Thank you for experimenting with the page Jessica Simpson on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. --PTSE 00:43, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I didn't edit anything on Jessica Simpson's page. Good job?

Image:Stuffbyduff.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Stuffbyduff.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Extraordinary Machine 13:32, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Insider trading links
PTSE, why did you remove those links after I talked to Elipongo? Please add them back, as they are valuable data. Thanks. 24.238.205.15 (talk)


 * To 24.238.205.15 - It doesn't matter that you discussed this with one other editor, although I note that Elipongo didn't agree with you anyway. Consensus among editors seems to be that the links are unnecessary. I moved them so they weren't inline, as this was clearly inappropriate, however, all other editors involved believe they should be removed altogether.  I think you need to face up to the fact that these links will keep being removed as nobody else thinks they should be in JPMorgan Chase QuiteUnusual 10:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * (PTSE, apologies for putting this here, but there is a better chance of it being seen - this discussion should really be on the JPMorgan Chase article discussion page). QuiteUnusual 10:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for dealing with this whilst I was away. --PTSE 01:41, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Kimsmith.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Kimsmith.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Fair use and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelvinc 09:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

request for comment: Talk:Drew Barrymore
Hey PTSE: I'm big on cutting down fansite external links on celeb bios as well and I got in a little spat with another editor over my practice of doing this. Could I get your opinion on his argument? Am I in the right to cite WL:EL and WP:NOT as a reason to remove multiple fansite links? Thanks! Cornell Rockey 14:56, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Specsavers.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Specsavers.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:19, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Elle
I see you've been changing Elle to ELLE. The latter was indeed the title of the article, a fact I hadn't noticed until one or two of your edits popped up on my watchlist. However, "ELLE" doesn't conform to Manual of Style (trademarks), whereby we have Life (magazine) and not "LIFE", etc. So although I regret rendering your work useless, I've just now moved the article from "ELLE" to "Elle", and fixed redirects accordingly.

If you'd like to reply, please do so either here or at Talk:Elle: I hate pingpong discussions. Thanks. -- Hoary 04:34, 28 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, no problems. Thanks for the useful link --PTSE 02:02, 29 July 2007 (UTC)


 * That's a relief. I thought you might tell me to stick one part of my anatomy into another part: an understandable if not always deserved reaction to having one's work undone.


 * There's an awful lot of GOOFY CAPITALIZATION in Wikipedia -- particularly in Japan-related stuff, as the anglophone fanboys are overly influenced by the quaint Japanese notion that capitalization is immutable (see this set of edits and this discussion). Let's do away with it. -- Hoary 05:34, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:CahootLogo.gif
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:CahootLogo.gif. The file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.
