Your actions on commons
I don't spend any time actually editing on commons, so I'll do this here. You recently blocked me for uploading "copyvio" images after warning. I'd like you to find out how many actually were violations. The one you claimed, or the one that the previous admin claimed, was a copyvio was originally found here. The original uploader had stated that he did take the picture. Now, regardless of it being a press picture, that does not mean it is a copyvio. We here at en.wikipedia have a few professional photographers and it is no uncommon to find images like that. I think your block on commons was rash and ill thought out. When I transfer images, I look for a source or for a license, or both. If the image is not a free one, I don't transfer it. But, if the image has claim of self authorship, then I normally do transfer it. I still don't know if the image in question was a real copyvio or not, I just went off of the original uploaders information. And on this topic, your comment below mine on my commons talk page brings up questions as to how you became an admin. ("Frankly, I don't give a damn if your family has died") Your comment was very, very un-adminlike. If you had done that here, I would have reported it. Undeath (talk) 05:49, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
