Why don't you fix stuff like File:Robert MacArthur.jpg yourself instead of going around making an arsehole of yourself? It's a trivial matter. Do something of value to the project. Richard001 (talk) 05:11, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * So making a request for rationales to the original contributor is not of value? Perhaps you should reconsider your attitude Sfan00 IMG (talk) 08:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Please do not tag with "no rationale" the images that have a rationale in place. They have a rationale in place, just not the newest template. As per person above, take the time to fix what you feel is inadequate if it takes the same amount of time or a little longer. When the current template for FUR gets superseded in the future we do not want people deleting the same images each time an old method gets superseded. It is a lot of work to find and load an image, and it is just as easy for you to fix what you find inadequate. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 14:49, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

The remains of the ahihud creature.jpg
Could you please explain your removal of my unknown source tag on this image? The tamplate says "To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale." I have no problem with your justification of the fair use wrt purpose of use and replacability, but the requirement to include all available copyright information is clearly not met. We don't know what the original copyright/ permissions were, and we have no way of determining them since all we have is a vague reference to a facebook conversation history.

Permission For Vox logo
Hi Sfan00 IMG, thanks for pointing out that I did not provide permission evidence for the logo image usage of Vox. I am the original owner of this image and I have now included a description of usage by Creative Commons CC-BY-SA at the source of the image, see this link http://www.indiedb.com/games/vox/images/screenshot#imagebox and the left hand description for proof.

Hey, I noticed you have tagged the file "50 cent and ne-yo.jpg‎" for deletion. I've uploaded it today, and I don't know what license would serve to it because Ne-Yo posted the picture on his Instagram's account. I think you might can help me with that... Also, I marked the file as licensed by Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 cause I didn't find any other there what would serve to it as I said above. I am trying to create a good article on the page Street King Immortal, which is an studio album by American rapper 50 Cent, and I think the picture should help to improve the page. I'll be changing the file's summary now. If you can help me, I'll be glad. -Luis Guilherme (talk)
 * Hm, also, how can I found a image here in Wikipedia? Cause I don't know who took the pic in the case, so it probably will be deleted soon. If you know any picture uploaded under Wikimedia with Ne-Yo and 50 Cent hit me up. SrGangsta (talk) 00:16, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

series of chemical images uploaded on subject of IUPAC-related nomenclature and with tagging for deletion
Hi Sfan00 IMG, many thanks for checking the copyright on these images. I have made the images myself specifically for wikipedia. I had (obviously mistakenly) thought that the tagging was good - indeed I had had talks with others I seem to remember about this and the images status that seemed to indicate that they were ok. However, if there are still problems with the copyright tagging for these images, I really cannot work out how to correct the copyright tagging on these images so that it is clear that I made them for this site - so that they do not infringe on the IUPAC nor wiki copyrights. Sorry about this but it really is not clear to me at all. Can you tell me how to add the tags please? I have read the related texts, and I'm afraid that I can't see a way in. Sorry about this, and thank you, Rogerchiorns (talk) 14:31, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sfan00 IMG, thank you very much for indication of what type of tag might be added. I have done this on two images with the hope that I have done it technically speaking in the right way. But I am not sure that I have. Would you be able to check that I added the tag in the right place on the image edit file please? If it is ok, then I'll do all the others. Sorry about this, but the edit codes are not very clear to me. The one I did was IUPAC phthaloyl divalent group.png. Thank you!, Rogerchiorns (talk) 14:51, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sfan00 IMG, Thanks for helpful link! Rogerchiorns (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2012 (UTC)

Dear Sfan00 IMG, have added tags of the PD-chem type to each of the small chemical structures you have noted for concern, therefore I think that the problems you raised were dealt with. However, I am not sure if I should remove the red tag on each image page now? I have not tried to do this as best thought would you or another administrator who does this, but nevertheless was a bit concerned in case I should have done this. Please advise. Many thanks.

File:Great Elm rail accident 6 Oct 2008 b.jpg
Hi. Please could you advise me regarding the correct licence status for this image (which you have marked as having the wrong license status).

The image was taken from a report published on the Rail Accident Investigation Branch website, whose terms and conditions state:

"The material featured on this site is subject to Crown copyright protection unless otherwise indicated. The Crown copyright protected material (other than departmental or agency logos) may be reproduced free of charge in any format or medium, under the terms of the Open Government Licence. This is subject to the material being reproduced accurately and not used in a misleading context. Where any of the Crown copyright items on this site are being republished or copied to others, the source of the material must be identified and the copyright status acknowledged."

However there does not appear to be a template for the Open Government Licence (the Wp:File copyright tags page mentions such a template, but it is a redlink: Open Government License).

Sixth attempt at Warren Coats Image permissions
I am writing to complain about Wikipedia’s image use policy as enforced by your editors. I’m not sure I agree with or understand why you have chosen a policy so strict that it basically negates the power and potential of the Internet—if you want to have the image policy of a print encyclopedia, that’s your business. What I object to is the impossibility of figuring out what you want and the apparent inability of any of your editors to actually help me solve the problem. The several editors who so vigilantly monitor licenses were quick to detect some problem, what problem I still don’t understand, then instantly delete the picture, and refer me to the same thicket of dozens of articles explaining licenses and policies. What I want to do should be very simple—upload a picture that a friend took of another friend that we all want to be used freely. Why is it so complicated to figure out how to do something simple? I believed I had complied with your demands proving this each time—we’re on the sixth attempt now—only to have someone else come along and complain and give me the same instructions that I thought I’d already satisfied. If I hadn’t satisfied the policy, can you help me do so? We’ve emailed you the permissions of both the person who took the picture and who owns the picture. So what do you want now? I love Wikipedia, but the number of hours I have spent trying to figure out what you want for one simple picture and the frustration this produced has greatly soured me. I’m all for quality control, but all this time that everyone has spent could have been much better invested than in proving the license of an image whose use no one will ever object to. Sincerely, Odell Huff (Writing in reference to the article and image of Warren Coats).

 * If you've already mailed in the permission, you should add OTRS Pending to the file description page Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:49, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

I reforwarded an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org from both the author and the subject (one contention has been that it was the subject's camera for the subject's computer but a friend snapped the picture--we had to track down the person who snapped the picture, the "author," to ask his permission to actually use it?). Then, in Wikimedia Commons on the file's description page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Warren_Baghdad.JPG#.7B.7Bint:license-header.7D.7D) under the licensing heading I inserted: An email containing details of the permission for this text has been sent in accordance with WP:OTRS. Does that satisfy the requirements? Thank you for help. While I do understand the reasoning, my personal opinion is that licensing requirements this severe and a decision tree this complex are consuming manpower in recreating the limitations of print. Surely a better balance could be struck between unleashing wiki potential, especially for content meant to be in the public domain, and Wikipedia's legal needs.Odellhuff (talk) 14:20, 4 October 2012 (UTC)

RE Macedonian-Radio Television logo issue
Hi there. I wanted to inform you that I delivered e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org about the copyrights of the logos. I noticed that the files I uploaded are pending for removal because I failed to provide evidence that they've been sent to me. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MRT_1_HD_logo.png, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MRT_1_new_logo.png, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MRT_Sobraniski_Kanal_new_logo.png , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MRT_2_new_logo.png ) IThe logos are clearly from the Macedonian Radio Television and I didn't take their copyrights at all but uploaded them just as every logo for television is. They will be found on their new website which is under construction and also at their e-mail mtv1.promo@gmail.com, in fact that's how i received them. I will send you the conversation between me and the guys from the Macedonian Radio Television. I asked them for the logos at a Macedonian forum for Television. This is copy from it.

Hi there! I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. Recently, you [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=518098032&diff=prev reverted] my fix to Nachman Shai.

If you did this because the references should be removed from the article, you have misunderstood the situation. Most likely, the article originally contained both  and one or more   referring to it. Someone then removed the  but left the , which results in a big red error in the article. I replaced one of the remaining  with a copy of the  ; I did not re-insert the reference to where it was deleted, I just replaced one of the remaining instances. What you need to do to fix it is to make sure you remove all instances of the named reference so as to not leave any big red error.

If you reverted because I made an actual mistake, please be sure to also correct any reference errors in the page so I won't come back and make the same mistake again. Also, please post an error report at User talk:AnomieBOT so my operator can fix me!

Proposed deletion of Solar Realms Elite


The article Solar Realms Elite has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * I love BBS history, but this game game does not meet WP:N criteria. It doesn't have significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. czar &middot;  &middot;  06:30, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

File:Teletype Corporation Model 28 RT Set.pdf
I saw that you made this edit (This non-free media file should be replaced with a smaller version to comply with Wikipedia's non-free content policy and United States copyright law.) and have some questions. Do you look at file size alone when marking a file as you have done with Teletype Corporation Model 28 RT Set.pdf? Do you look for other criteria? Do you read the existing summary of the file in question? Do you look at the image to see if the quality is already poor?

In adding this image from a Teletype Corporation advertisements, I tried my best to provide an image that met all of the criteria that existed at the time (April 2012). You will note that the full resolution image is already quite grainy. I am sure that you took note of the fact that only one of six pages of the advertisement in question were uploaded. If I do reduce the image size any futher, the text will devolve into unreadability and the images of the tape punches and tape readers will become useless.Wa3frp (talk) 18:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

 * The bypassing is so that older templates can be deprecated and removed.Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:02, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * What benefit is this intended to provide? (Simplifying scripts, perhaps?)  Has this been discussed somewhere?  —David Levy 17:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Note that edit summaries like "Template migration" and "Template was redirected ." are not sufficiently informative. (They provide no explanation of why a "migration" from redirects is occurring.)  If a relevant discussion has occurred, please point to it via the edit summaries.  —David Levy 17:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * There are a number of reasons why the templates are being migrated, script simplification being one of them. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:44, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Again, where was this migration discussed?
 * And why are you still using the edit summary "Template was redirected ." (which provides absolutely no indication of why the redirects are being bypassed)? —David Levy 18:09, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Please kindly explain how making Wikipedia simpler is a bad thing? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:19, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Eliminating template redirects might make some things (such as script maintenance) simpler, but it has the opposite effect among editors unfamiliar with the templates' current names (whose transclusion attempts suddenly result in red links).
 * As you've again ignored my question regarding where this matter was discussed, I can only assume that it wasn't. Please cease the "migration" until consensus in its favor is established.  Thank you.  —David Levy 18:43, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I am sorry, please say that again. I should stop 'migration' because you have a difference of opinion?
 * Has anythign actually broken yet? Has 'migrating' templates caused any real inconvenience?
 * I also wasn't aware simple fixes like template migrations required community approval if they didn't actually change things,
 * Can you please indicate in which debate to which you were a party that guideline changed? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:54, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * You should stop because it lacks consensus.
 * I neither support nor oppose the idea in principle. I would need to consider the unspecified "number of reasons" (and others' assessments thereof) to weigh the advantages and disadvantages.  This is the sort of discussion that should occur.  —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

 * So YOU DON'T LIKE IT? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Did you read my reply? Again, I have no firm opinion on whether the "migration" is prudent.  I've asked you to stop because it's undiscussed and lacks consensus.  —David Levy 20:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I read your reply, so far you are the only other Wikipedian to have complained. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:36, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Again, my objection is based upon the community's established practices (as documented at WP:NOTBROKEN and WP:CONSENSUS), not upon my personal opinion.
 * You noted below that you're "prepared to concede that keeping the old names as redirects is a good idea". Does this mean that you've stopped bypassing them?  —David Levy 20:57, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm at the moment not bypassing generally. I am however partioning Film cover furto Non-free use rationale poster and Non-free use rationale video cover based on the license tag because of specific differences in wording between the NFUR.


 * I'd appreciate you raising the issue of redirected templates somewhere appropriate because it seems silly not to try and update usages, even if the old name are retained as redirects. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:01, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clarifying. :)
 * It certainly is appropriate to replace Film cover fur with Non-free use rationale poster where the latter is applicable. —David Levy 21:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Noted 21:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Film cover fur redirects to Non-free use rationale video cover, but if bypassing the redirect makes it easier to weed out the transclusions that should be replaced with Non-free use rationale poster, that seems reasonable. —David Levy 21:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * A side effect is that I've found some rationales that needed cleanup in the process. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * There's wide agreement that when performing actual cleanup (such as improvements to a description or rationale), bypassing a redirect at the same time is essentially harmless. (It consumes no additional overhead and causes no additional edits to appear on watchlists.)  —David Levy 22:18, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The other issue is that by converting to Non-free use rationale types, Legobot22 picks them up for review,
 * I understand that changes have been made to that bot so it picks up balh fur types as well. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, any properly configured bot will recognize a template's redirects. —David Levy 22:18, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Definitely late to this conversation, but yes, Legobot will recognize redirects, and as a side-effect, it by-passes them. Legoktm (talk) 03:58, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
 * You're welcome to initiate a discussion. I see no need, as the matter already has been discussed at length (hence the aforementioned guideline).
 * The longstanding consensus is that it usually is harmless to bypass a redirect when performing one or more other edits (i.e. those affecting the rendered page) simultaneously, but editing a page solely to bypass a functional redirect is unjustified (because it results in non-negligible detriments and no significant benefits). —David Levy 21:47, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

 * No, not until the redirects are "deprecated and removed". Unless the community decides that such an occurrence is justified, your edits serve no valid purpose.  —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

 * In your opinion... Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * No, the community has determined that pages shouldn't be edited purely to bypass functional redirects. I didn't write WP:NOTBROKEN.  —David Levy 20:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * If consensus to delete the redirects is established, a bot can update the transclusions in a more efficient and less disruptive manner. —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The removal would need an RfD anyway. I'm prepared to concede that keeping the old names as redirects is a good idea though. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * So you're abandoning the "migration"? —David Levy 20:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * For now, I reserve the right to implement 'bypasses' when doing other cleanup work. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 21:55, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Are you referring to other edits performed to the same pages at the same time? —David Levy


 * Yes. I'm not going to be solely changing template usages, as that can be done by a bot after debate. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:26, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. (:  —David Levy 00:05, 26 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes. Your unnecessary edits are flooding people's watchlists.  —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. Your unnecessary edits are flooding people's watchlists.  —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * What people choose to watchlist is not my concern. There was a reason they were being flagged as minor edits Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * That doesn't help users for whom edits labeled "minor" aren't filtered.
 * I can see that you do a great deal of legitimate cleanup. Such improvements outweigh the aforementioned inconvenience.  Conversely, edits intended to "fix" functional template transclusions do not.  (Again, this isn't my determination; it's the community's.)  —David Levy 20:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * The redirects aren't broken, so these aren't "fixes". I linked to WP:NOTBROKEN above.
 * To what change are you referring?
 * Again, please cease your unilateral "migration". —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
 * To what change are you referring?
 * Again, please cease your unilateral "migration". —David Levy 19:20, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * And I would ask you to stop your 'unilateral' objection! Sfan00 IMG (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Again, this is the community's position. I didn't write WP:NOTBROKEN.  —David Levy 20:34, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

"Image" categories need renaming
Once Legobot finishes tagging everything, we should probably rename Category:Non-free images for NFUR review and Category:Non-free images with NFUR stated to Category:Non-free files for NFUR review and Category:Non-free files with NFUR stated. Legoktm (talk) 04:44, 26 October 2012 (UTC)


 * If you want to update all the templates, I'd have no objection to this :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 10:20, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Peter Wild
Thanks for the review of Peter Wild. Did you notice that I'd already tagged it refimprove? The difference was my tag read "Refimprove" and you added "refimprove". I'm wondering if this occurred because of Page Curation (or is it "page curation")? No Big Deal -- I've removed my redundant tag.--S. Rich (talk) 18:08, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Non free reduce tag
Hi. You placed a non-free reduce tag on an image I uploaded, File:Cocaine can make you blind advertisement.jpg.

The original version of this file was in PDF. I don't know how to reduce a pdf in size, so I cannot reduce the original file. So I downloaded the jpg image straight from wikipedia and reduced the image in size by 50% using paintbrush, however, upon trying to replace the image with the smaller version I was given this error message: "File extension ".jpg" does not match the detected MIME type of the file (image/png)."

I am not experienced in either editing images, or uploading images to wikipedia, so I just don't know how to reduce it in size on wikipedia. Just thought I'd let you know that so you don't think I'm ignoring the issue. Freikorp (talk) 05:53, 15 November 2012 (UTC)

Stub sorting
Recently, I've been working on WikiProject Stub Sorting, moving articles marked as to more specific stub categories so that people who know about a specific topic can focus on stubs about that topic. I noticed that you've tagged a lot of articles with a generic  , which makes more work for stub sorters. A (mostly) complete list of all available stub types can be found at WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types. A userscript which makes finding stub categories easier is available at User:MC10/stubtagtab.js. &mdash; Wolfgang42 (talk) 15:20, 17 November 2012 (UTC)


 * As a long-term stub-sorter, I'd say it's OK for you to add stub to articles which need it, but you must check carefully that they don't have a specific stub tag already. In this edit you should not have added stub, as this just wastes time of stub-sorters. Thanks. Pam  D  12:34, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Non-free image rationale
Hi ShakespeareFan!

There's about to be some minor tidying of the rationale templates because their names, content and redirects have gotten out of sync - see here for details. The effect is going to be a minor one, just that you need to start using Non-free use rationale instead of the redirect Non-free media rationale. I'm letting you know because a bot run is about to happen to change all the uses of that redirect, and you've been identified as its most frequent user.

Thanks, and please let me know at either of the above discussions if there's a problem! &mdash; Hex    (❝  ?!  ❞)   12:21, 19 November 2012 (UTC).

Non-free rationale for File:Keaton in Annie Hall.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Keaton in Annie Hall.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free 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 the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:01, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * You tagged too fast, and you templated rather than communicated. We all have moments of editing a little too quickly or thoughtlessly, without consideration given to what is occurring or the impact of our own actions, and I assume this was a one-off action, and that you normally take a little more care in your editing.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  14:19, 31 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Looking at User:Sfan00 IMG/CSD log you have a high number of wrongly placed CSD tags. You are an experienced and knowledgeable user, so these mistakes are due to you tagging too soon, rather than not understanding the criteria. I'd like to see you making a little more assessment of the files and pages you are about to tag, and see if you can improve on your CSD accuracy. Possible approaches involve waiting at least 30 minutes on newly uploaded files to see what the uploader is going to do, or contacting the uploader with a handwritten query or offer of assistance.

Hi, I just wanted to leave you a note that I've declined/contested the template-space redirect CSD nominations you've made because I don't believe they meet the limit of CSD R3. Redirects are cheap and it seems plausible someone may use them so I don't think there is any need to delete them. Prodego talk  23:41, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * That's reasonable, BRD . I Did the B, you did the R, Lets now habe the D part somewhere appropriate. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:03, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I suppose the next step would be to send the pages to TfD if you think additional discussion is required. Then we could get some additional opinions. If you do that, I'd suggest just making one TfD for the whole set. Prodego  talk  01:50, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually, silly me, RfD is the appropriate place of course, I forgot that even exists. Prodego  talk  01:52, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for January 11
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Theatre-Five, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages George Petrie and Robert Dryden (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Template replacement
Hello,

I noticed that you are are carrying out mass replacement of template with  template. Would you share the link to the relevant community decision on replacement or explain why you think the previous template is wrong? Many thanks. <span style="font-family: 'Candara', sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-shadow: #AAAAFF 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class: texhtml"><font style="color:#3300CC">kashmiri 20:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)


 * There wasn't a community decision on this. It needed doing so that the fur form can be depreciated Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:22, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Was there any formal decision of the Wikipedia community to deprecate this template? Or it's your own idea? Sorry for asking about these details. <span style="font-family: 'Candara', sans-serif; font-weight: bold; text-shadow: #AAAAFF 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class: texhtml"><font style="color:#3300CC">kashmiri 00:20, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It was semi-deprecated when it was re-directed, fixing the usages means it can be formally deprecated at a later date. :)Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:25, 13 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Which is never going to happen because the only person that cares about deleting redirects for templates is you, and because the number of people that still use the original FUR templates is rather large. Honestly, your recent editing behavior is getting very grating.  S ven M anguard   Wha?  23:20, 13 January 2013 (UT


 * Is it actually breaking anything? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 00:01, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Your orphaning of redirects and then nominating them for deletion as unused is borderline gaming the system, and if the redirects are deleted then it is likely that this will break things. Also you are needlessly polluting watchlists and recent changes, increasing the chance that something damaging will be missed. The standard you, like every editor, should be holding your actions to is not "does this break anything?" but "does this benefit the encyclopaedia?". Thryduulf (talk) 01:23, 14 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Reduction of complexity would be of benefit, but I understand your viewpoint.I won't be reverting anything already updated, but your viewpoint seems to be that I should cease trying to 'fix' stuff. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 01:24, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Fixing things is fine. It's fixing things that are not broken, such as needlessly bypassing redirects, that people have issues with. Nominating these redirects then for deletion is not so much fixing things that are not broken, but trying to break things that are not broken. Thryduulf (talk) 12:03, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletions
You have placed notices on my talk page saying various files are candidates for speedy deletion, and i cant find any evidence of such a tag at those files. i did not upload them, some are featured images. Please explain your edits to me, they make no sense.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:24, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * They were CSD under F2, because the file was already described at Wikimedia Commons Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:01, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Help requested
I'm not sure why, but I've been notified of five Speedy deletion nominations of photo files.

Four of them titled: Models-sean-kelly-onstage.jpg, Models-james-freud-la.jpg, James-freud-models-san-francisco-2.png and Sean-kelly-models-miyako-500.png were all uploaded by Andwhatsnext.

The fifth file, Serious - Deborah Conway at Fitzroy Gardens.jpg, was uploaded by Flickr upload bot.

As far as I can tell the two uploaders have not been informed of these Speedy deletions.

From my limited understanding, I can not find any particular problem with their permissions and so would like some clarification as to what, specifically, is the problem. You point to F2 at WP:CSD, which talks about a 'Corrupt or empty image'. However this does not help me: I still can't see where the problem is, the images look fine to me.


 * 1) Where do they fail this criterion?


 * 1) Where do I contest the speedy deletion of each file? i.e. Where is this 'speedy deletion tag' that I'm supposed to click on?


 * 1) Why was I chosen for this quest?

Could you please help by clarifying these points.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 21:13, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * F2 also covers 'local file description page for images at Commons, NONE of the media has been lost, It's just the files concerned are now on Wikimedia Commons rather than locally. :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * 1. The images are fine BECAUSE they are on Commons and show through.
 * 2. The tags no longer exist, because someone deleted the local description page.
 * 3. You received the notifcations, because as far as the logs were concerned you created the local description page.

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 22:07, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that extra information. So the images are still usable by Wikipedia from the Commons files and will still appear in the relevant articles? I don't need to do anything else to keep them accessible?shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 01:20, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Should do ,provided they retained the same name on transfer :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:30, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Me, too, with a question. Were these files, that Shaidar and myself were notified about, previously found ONLY on WP, and were they recently transferred to the Commons (like this week or on the day of the csd)? i cant tell if some of these were WP images previously flagged by a bot for transfer. My faulty memory says they may have been, which explains why i gave them categories here. If so, then this all makes perfect sense now. I had noticed a lot of files here flagged for transfer, and the process for transfer looked too daunting for me. I think i know the answer to Shaidar's questions, but i suspect you are MUCH more familiar with this whole system. PS should i have their talk pages blanked here, as i place them in the SFBA task force?Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:57, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keeping the local talk page is fine. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 11:30, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Vanda Varvara
Hi there. I thought you might want to know that I've AfD'ed Vanda Varvara, an article that you patrolled almost a year ago, on the grounds that it appears to be an elaborate hoax. The hoaxster's goal was clearly to mimic the style of a high-quality article, and I imagine that if I were to see an article like that, I'd probably mark it as patrolled myself, so I'm not here to give you a hard time or anything; I was just wondering if you'd mind taking a look at the AfD entry, and give your take on the matter. Thanks. — PinkAmpers  <font color="FF1493">&#38;  ( Je vous invite à me parler )  06:07, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Singapore2.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Singapore2.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Retitled image, no incominglinks, Shadows commons

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

"Non-free biog pic"
Excuse me, but what are you doing changing all those "no-permission" deletion candidates to "non-free biog pic", like ? These are obviously all living persons, so a non-free use claim obviously wouldn't stand a chance. If you seriously think it would be justified, you should at least also put in a FUR to that effect, explaining why. Letting a file that has already been queued for deletion slip back into such an obviously inappropriate state of tagging doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:24, 27 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Fair enough, I was being Bold in trying to rescue the images. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:27, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Also, it takes lots of time to tag all of those files with {{subst:rfu}}, {{subst:nfurd}}, {{subst:orfud}}, non-free reduce and other tags when the files just need to be deleted, and the uploaders just get troubled by extra talk page notices. --Stefan2 (talk) 19:06, 27 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Noted, I am however not going to stop trying to 'rescue' images, I'll just need to be a bit more selective! Sfan00 IMG (talk) 20:10, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh come on. Now you took an image that was correctly tagged as "no source, no license", removed the correct tag, added an empty "information" template in instead, and left it sitting around – still with no source and no license on [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Adriatic_Sea_View.png&diff=535491886&oldid=535348646]. Sorry, but that's not "rescuing". I hate to say this, because I normally appreciate the work you do with images, but I really don't get how you could think this was a constructive thing to do.

 * P.S.: Same here [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:ZoilosII.jpg&diff=prev&oldid=535491730]. With how many images did you do that? Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:39, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

File:Highways Agency.svg
I would be interested to hear how you think this file meets the Threshold of originality to be protected by US copyright law (given that is the law Wikipedia works to) and why it should not be tagged. <font color="lightgreen" face="Lucida Sans">LightGreenApple <font color="darkred" face="Lucida Sans"> talk to me 01:25, 29 January 2013 (UTC)


 * It's above threshold of originality in the UK, where it clearly orignates from Sfan00 IMG (talk) 01:27, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * That may or maynot be the case, however that is why we have for logos that are PD in the US (due to threshold of originality), but may be non-free in their home country and are not able to be copied to commons for that reason. <font color="lightgreen" face="Lucida Sans">LightGreenApple <font color="darkred" face="Lucida Sans"> talk to me  01:41, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
