User talk:Ryanjcole

I'm a user of Wikipedia for years, please do not put the welcome message back in or any messages regarding the 2006 Stagg Bowl logo. If it irks you so much about the copyright, delete it. Someone will upload it in my stead sometime in the near future I am sure.

Re: Justin Beaver
Hi, Ryanjcole! The images were copyright violations and had to go. Was there some sort of release or permission I should be aware of? Please get back to me on my talk page. east. 718 at 01:36, December 24, 2007
 * OK, we generally delete images that are suspected copyright violation on sight. I will restore the images - in the meantime, please send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org to verify that you are indeed the copyright holder. I apologize for all the hoops you've got to jump through, but they're there just to protect the copyright holders of images. Thanks for contributing such high-quality content! east. 718 at 01:46, December 24, 2007
 * Just so you know, images with watermarks are discouraged, but generally not removed unless there is a superior image. Also, since you're releasing your images under a free license, anybody can crop or otherwise modify them to whatever extent they wish. All the best, east. 718 at 10:08, December 24, 2007

Profanity
Dear User:Ryanjcole, I have some negative feedback for you. I wonder if you might refrain from using the words 'jesus christ' (or any other profanities) as you did an a recent edit summary. It's annoying to many at very least, and certainly does not show the assumption of good faith. Mannafredo (talk) 09:41, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Skille scores.jpg
A tag has been placed on Image:Skille scores.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on  explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * I'm surprised that watermarked images are accepted - it appears to be advertising you, if not the images, and I don't think it's in the spirit of Wikipedia. Still, I've restored the images. In the article, an editor changed the date of birth by two years, which I rolled back, but I don't know which is actually correct. Jimfbleak (talk) 17:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Watermarked images are generally not acceptible for use in Wikipedia - see Image use policy. —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 18:52, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Gagliardi-trophy.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Gagliardi-trophy.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk  06:44, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
