RE: File permission problem with File:Press Photo.jpeg
I am confused what you are requesting. Can you please help me better understand what it is that you require. I did already mark the image with OTRS? Pending ... The photographer who took the photo gave her permission via email to both myself and wikipedia. I can forward it to wikipedia again if need be, however, she agreed to make it a Free Use Image according to Wikipedia requirements for use. Waytagojoe (talk) 03:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Erskine Clock Tower Picture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2009_December_19#File:Erskineclocktower.jpg is an image of the Erskine Clock Tower located on the main building on the Erskine College campus. I took the picture in 2005. It is a symbol to Erskine College alumni since the Erskine Clock Tower is produced in artwork and produced in anything dealing with the college. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sycondavey (talk • contribs) 16:51, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Undeletion request
Two days ago you deleted because in a deletion discussion it was accused of being a copyright violation. This file was not a copyright violation though. In the discussion I tried to explain that this file was not a copyright violation because paramount pictures does not own the shape of a delta shield, the shape of the star trek logo. The picture that was deleted was a black delta shield. The star trek logo is silver with gold edging. The file was not a copyright violation, but was close enough to the logo to look ok in a userbox on star trek, since nonfree copyrighted files cannot be used in userboxes. I was wondering if you could please undelete the file. Thank you --Alpha Quadrant (talk) 16:25, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Seeing that the page of this file now reads that an e-mail was received, but doesn't have adequate permission for me to upload the photo, what do I need to do in order for the photo to remain on the site? This has become a very frustrating situation that has gone on for at least a few years now; it has been an ongoing ordeal between the photographer and me, and it is quite an inconvenience to continually bother him when he has sent his permission before.

Capolinho
Hi! You recently deleted this editor's uploaded images due to licensing issues. I've been chatting to them about an article they created (I declined a speedy on it). They're currently blocked, and asked me to ask you about restoring (apparently it's theirs, though licensing confused them and they didn't make that clear...)

I've not seen the image, and have no idea whether the image would be OK (assuming the licensing concerns were addressed), and I do continue to have concerns about the editor's competence (links "confuse" them, apparently). However, if you could consider restoring the image it'd be good - even if it just means me explaining to them why it can't be restored.

Many thanks, TFOWR 13:54, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

New here and need help
G'day, new here and need help in all things Wiki. Is there anyone in the northern suburbs I can spend some time with to help me get started on articles, images etc. Most of the stuff I read doesn't make any sense.

Thanks, Fairv8 Fairv8 (talk) 06:30, 25 September 2010 (UTC) As I live in Playford Council I though I might start with my hometown of Angle Vale and work out from there as my council area has Sweet FA on wiki. Also I travel around a bit in SA as I now have plenty of spare time (lucky me) and take many pictures and I sometimes read up about the history of an area b4 i go so I can see more of the places there, so I may as well put 2+2 together and contribute on wiki as I use it a fair bit. I will be starting an article on the Light River as well, those two articles should keep me busy for a while. I struggle with a lot of the info here on what to do and how to do it. On W.Commons I am having a few issues, operator error I suspect, usually is with me when it comes to computers. I'm sure it's something simple I'm not doing correctly but I am so blind to it (scratches head).

tosha thakkar
This article on an indian girl brutally murdered was deleted by you based on a discussion with your peers yesterday Mar15 2011 ,

There was a pattern of violence in Australia against Indian students who also worked part time there. If there is a discussion about showing the Australian authorities in a positive light, the resources linked to ,in this case and the case itself , would have been instrumental in showing the alacrity with which Australian authorities acted against the heinous and violent crime by an Australian , albeit of non-caucasian origin.

That page would have been an appreciation of the prompt action and also possible beginnings of a trend of serious action against Australian offenders in cases of violence against Indian immigrant/students.

Of course, you ,being a cabal, can go ahead and delete whatever you wish.I hope you come to regret this decision on deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chimesmonster (talk • contribs) 06:30, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

US 131
Thank you for your edits to the article. In the US, we do say that a highway is "signed" as a synonym for "signposted", but the latter isn't uncommon here either. If you see any other little improvements, be bold, and if you're interested, the article is at WP:FAC.  Imzadi 1979  →   18:51, 17 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Imzadi1979, From my reading Signposted is more common in English writing outside the use and is consequently more widely understandable. Signed in the used context is odd as it introduces a clash of tenses. I was about to leave FAC comments but decided twas better to fix than complain - I'll try to read it thoroughly in the next day or so and leave comments - but my net access is somewhat poor - Peripitus (Talk) 10:53, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm just saying that in the US, and American English, "signed" and "unsigned" are common and acceptable adjectives to describe a road, a trail, a building or whatever. I didn't change that word based on your comments, but the usage was correct for American English previously.  Imzadi 1979  →   17:55, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Just a PS, but given the age of the nomination (it's currently the oldest open FAC and going on about 5.5 weeks in age), you might want to toss a note on the FAC page to say that you're going to offer a review or comments. The delegates might hold the nomination open longer if they know someone else is working on comments that are forthcoming instead of closing the review. The current suggestion is that if you have detailed comments, but expect to support the article at some point, put the comments in a section of the talk page for the review. (WT:Featured article candidates/U.S. Route 131/archive1 instead of WP:Featured article candidates/U.S. Route 131/archive1) and leave a link to that specific section on the FAC page. That way the delegates don't have to read through dozens of bullet points on resolved comments when the reviewer is supporting the article only to find that... the reviewer is supporting the article.

Questions re: mass deleted images
I'm trying to see if there are reasonable grounds for requesting an undeletion for some images. The questions are not about your procedural deletions which were made based on consensus, and I have no issue with those. It's more about whether a different standard for reviewing those initial image FfDs should have been considered. Had there been, based on a few points I'll mention below, a much higher burden of proof might have shifted to the tagging editor. Here are some questions:
 * Using the example of a swarm of deletion requests on 4/16/11, for example, it can be seen that the tagger placed tags on many images over a few minute time period - some within a few seconds. The articles they came from were quite large, so reviewing each image for compliance with NFCC#8 would not have been possible, and declaring them to be "decorative" could not have been reasonably thought out;
 * The above subject was referred to in a copyright questions discussion showing that similar mass taggings have been criticized previously, yet oddly was not criticized here;
 * Many of the images, like this one, used the same cut and paste statement, which ignored and undermined sourced rationales by noted experts. Note that most of these deleted files were declared and justified PD images. It seems that any editor tagging a PD image with a justification of "Not enough evidence for believing the claim . . ." requires that the image and editor's comments be given much greater scrutiny;
 * The tagging editor relied in many cases on an assumption of bad faith to support their tagging, in numerous cases simply pasting their POV that the rationale was "untruthful" and "untrustful." This ABF basis was used without any comment by "deleting" editors;
 * It is unclear and never explained how a completely evident, on its face, image like Laraine Day's could be anything but a publicity still,and fully PD as explained in the article about copyrights of such movie stills.

The above list gives some of the reasons why the issue is very significant for many other similar images used in other articles. Another admin states that on many images "generic support" is unacceptable to use. So I'm hoping you can explain some of this as an alternative to requesting a formal review. Thanks. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 20:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Article review
From the off set I just say there is no dramas if you say no to this request. Another editor and I are in disagreement about the contents of an article.

Is there a chance you could review the article and evaluate the claim in the banner? Again I will understand if you don't wish to get involve. Thanks. — [d'oh] 14:00, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Supposedly, user talk pages are not indexed. So it looks as if there's something mysterious going on. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:22, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * It was not me that raised this question initially. And the question raised, which has not been answered satisfactorily, is "Why?" What's special about this guy that his activities need to be hidden from the readers? And no one, yet, has satisfactorily answered the question, "Did he leave in good standing?" More to the point, did the user FDT leave in good standing? A simple "yes" or "no", please. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:50, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no personal stake in it other than concerns for the integrity of wikipedia. Your saying you "don't know or care" does not speak well to that integrity.

I am known for cutting the admins a lot more slack than a lot of users here do. But when you close out a discussion that still has unaddressed issues, and then refuse to talk about it, I wonder if my trust in admins is misplaced. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:57, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Burj Khalifa image on Marshall Strabala page
Periputus, I am trying to understand the non-free image use restrictions you used to remove the Burj Khalifa image from Marshall Strabala's page. In plain English, can you tell me why that image does not qualify for use there? Is it simply that the photo has to be placed there with the proper written explanation of why it is being used and the context? Finally, if that image cannot be used under any circumstances on Marshall's page, what CC licenses are best for me to find a Burj Khalifa image that can be placed on the page. Keep in mind, that many of the Burj Khalifa images taken are not taken by UAE residents, so while I am not a lawayer, I do not believe that UAE government rules will impact images taken by non-residents. Correct? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Mykjoseph (talk) 12:56, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

File:Portalgame.jpg
While I am the primary contributor on the Portal (video game) article which the above image was used on, I did not upload it and so only saw that it was up for deletion when you actually deleted it. As such, I noticed you did not close out that discussion, so I have added my rationale to it (a keep, as the images in this article are the same as they were when reviewed at FAC a few years ago), and am a bit concerned that your interpretation of that discussion pointed to deletion when there pretty much was no consensus from the three inputs (the nominator and the two others). Mind you, I think there's a better solution to reduce the non-free images, but it is not the deletion of this specific image. --M ASEM (t) 12:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

please wait on these image files
I am currently on vacation, using an iphone for this comment, and will be back Monday. I will solve the issues for the files then. Also, with a valid fair use rationale I don't think these are good speedy candidates. Best, 4meter4 (talk) 12:14, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * My appologize on the press photos, I didn't realize that press images could not be used under a fair use rationale. That seems odd to me.4meter4 (talk) 12:22, 27 May 2011 (UTC)

FfD closure contnended
Hi there. Please take a look at the image below, the subject of the FfD discussion.



That copyright notice in the image means that, contrary to your FfD closing statement, the image is not free. I'd like for you to reconsider your decision to keep this.  S ven M anguard  Wha?  21:43, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Regex question
Did the answers you got at the Reference Desk solve your regex problem? If they didn't I thought I might take a crack at it but because it's a little stale I wanted to ask first. Shadowjams (talk) 22:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand your reasoning. F7 says "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of WP:NFCC; and may be deleted immediately." That's not the case. C T J F 8 3 16:59, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Deletion comment on Fire Department.jpg
Sorry, I'm afraid not. Although I know a great deal about the region, I do not live in this area nor do I know anyone who does. I have searched the web and have found no un-copyrighted images. Violeta123321

Deletion Reply
Ah, what a shame! All that hard work! *makes a frustrated face* I understand though. The real shame is that no free images exist to help illustrate the places! I'm new at Wikipedia and still learning, thanks for the tip and the polite response. (I've come across some very rude people due to the fact that I'm not 100% at writing and editing articles yet. I'm just trying to learn!) I will remember this and do my best to find and upload free images, versus non free ones. --Violeta123321 (talk) 00:52, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

Closing
Hi, I know it would be a to do in any case, but what is the rationale for ignoring the fact that all keep voters ignored the WP:NFCC concern involved in using the unique journalistic photo of a given event to illustrate the event itself, when the photo is not otherwise notable? Thanks, --damiens.rf 15:25, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * File:Stonewall riots.jpg - would have been a controversial close is a masterful understatement. The inimitable Damiens.rf fights against eight with a signpost article on the opposition side, loses the decision and still fights on. Any other close would have gone straight to DRV and been overturned. I would be, perhaps rightly, accused of using my close as a supervote. Peripitus (Talk) 21:46, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * And what is the rationale for ignoring the fact that all keep voters (and the signpost article) ignored the WP:NFCC concern? --damiens.rf 22:11, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Difficult question? --damiens.rf 17:33, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Life is more important and often more interesting than Wikipedia, and it took precedence. I judged that there was consensus in the debate that the image passed item 8 of NFC while not failing item 7 of NFC and there were enough who responded after your repeated NFCC#2 interjections that wrote in a way that showed they'd thought about it. Peripitus (Talk) 08:58
 * No keep voter ever cared to address the NFCC#2 concern, neither in reply to the nomination, nor in reply to any of my "repeated interjections". Do you really see a consensus in that discussion that the image passes NFCC#2 ? --damiens.rf 14:07, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Improper deletion request for File:2001 school class deleted scene.jpg
The well-known USER:DAMIENS.RF improperly this file without even trying to discuss it on the 2001: A Space Odyssey talk page, let alone notifying us that he had made the FFD so we could argue for its inclusion. His intentions are clear - after failing his previous attempt to delete another image in this discussion, he changed tactics and this time disregarded discussing the deletion of altogether. Instead filing the FFD without notifying anyone - the result of which was your deletion of the file(for lack of response?). I don't think this kind of improper and disruptive behavior on USER:DAMIENS.RF's part should be rewarded, do you?
