image resizing
Hi, I understand your frustration and I'm sorry to see you leaving over the issue. For a long time Wikipedia had a higher tolerance for fair use images and as a result there are many. A lot of them violate fair use laws and prevent us from being a truly "free" encyclopedia. As a result, there has been a crackdown as of late and it has driven a lot of users away. However, it must be done and there are reasons for sizing the images down, etc. There are also many sources of free images but some articles (like articles about movies) will never have free images. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk  15:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Unblock reviewed

 * I'm ok with the block shortening :) -- lucasbfr talk 05:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I have no choice but when I am unblocked, I will have to get rid of all my uploaded photos and quit uploading photos of pictures that I took unless it is a picture of me or something I have been to. I found out that the rule has been on there for the entire life of wikipedia. I only did high res pics for information and not for piracy. If you think I have did piracy, I'm sorry. I will not threating anymore administrators and will have to do uploaded photos from amazon.com or other sites that have low res photos. I'm sorry. Bye.--Stco23 07:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Stco23, of course any pictures that are free (ie, that you created of something you have been to, or that you took of a famous person, and so on) can be high resolution. But when an image is "fair use", this means it is not free to use because someone else owns it, and so we have to use a low res picture. I don't think anyone thought you were guilty of piracy here, just perhaps you didn't understand the rules.  As I can see you now do understand the rules, that's good. I hope when the block runs out you will carry on contributing to Wikipedia, your effort is appreciated.  Neil   ム  09:00, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Unblocked
While reviewing my recent contributions, I decided to unblock you since you apologized for your behavior. At the moment, the block is only punitive, and blocks are not made to be that way. Please keep in mind that a cool head is needed when editing :). Cheers, -- lucasbfr talk 12:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well the best quality for an admin is not to be perfect (very few are ;), but to know how to learn from your mistakes. I'll have a huge advice for you, though: Don't aim for adminship. Start by being a contributor, get involved, and at some point you'll see that you have a use for the tools. :) -- lucasbfr talk 22:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
 * hehe, sorry for the confusion I think there is a misunderstanding (it was kinda late and English is not my primary language). I didn't take it as a threat of course :]. -- lucasbfr talk 12:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Disney's Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, Volume 1 and al.
Just asking, but do you tink you can expand these articles further? As fas as I see it, it might be a much better idea to bundle your articles per series (eg. in Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers) for ex. PS: Ow, I've just seen the messages above, hi again ;). -- lucasbfr talk 23:10, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll first give you my personal opinion: I don't think the DVD covers would add much in the article (I fixed my link). There's some controversy regarding the usage of DVD covers to illustrate articles. I checked List of The X-Files episodes for example and there is none. I think that's the safest way to go (our goal is to produce a free encyclopedia, and putting fair use images might cause legal problems one day or an other). That being said, if I were you I would extend the Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers section if you have more information (#of episodes, ...). You could also go for a whole List of The Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers episodes, ordered by airing date if you have the time :). Just keep in mind that screencaps to illustrates episodes is a big no-no :). -- lucasbfr talk 23:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's intended, List of The Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers episodes does not exist yet :). But that would be (in my opinion) the best way to expand the main article. You could use an other series episode list to see what's expected from an episode list. Cheers! (Going to bed now, good luck!) -- lucasbfr talk 00:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * List of Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers episodes does exist. To Stco23, please stop creating tiny little articles for individual DVD releases. Individual DVDs do NOT need separate articles. The releases should be listed in either the main article or in the episode list article. Collectonian (talk) 00:17, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Stco23, you do realize that going around asking others to redo your edits is considered Meat Puppetry and is a blockable offense, right? You not liking the enforcement of Wikipedia MOS, guidelines, and policies does not mean I was not rude to you.  I removed the photos because they were unnecessary and you messed up the article with the way you added them.  DVD covers are not a requirement in an article nor is it necessary (or normal), to illustrate every DVD release with an image.  The fact that you have had "too many photos" deleted because you didn't get your way goes to show that I'm not the only editor to feel you are trying to add excessive images to articles.  Read WP:Image. Collectonian (talk) 15:43, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Collectonian (talk) 16:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * This also applies to Image:Chip 'N' Dale Rescue Rangers Vol. 1 DVD Box Set.JPG. This is hardly about me; this is about Wikipedia policy. If you have a problem, put on the hangon template and put your rationale on the talk page where an admin will review it. -- GJD (Talk to me|Damage I've done) 16:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know anything about chip-n-dale, so I can't help you. Editing disagreements can be frustrating. The only thing I can suggest is to see if people on the particular WikiProject page can somehow mediate. Looks like chip-n-dale fall under wikiproject television (see the article's discussion page for the link to the wikiproject). DavidRF (talk) 19:52, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Please note that unused, unfree images are deleted systematically. And linking to them in your userspace will not change that because unfree images are not fair use in your userspace. Frankly, I don't really understand what the DVD covers bring to these articles. Unfree images are only used when their use "significantly increases readers' understanding of the topic, while their omission would be detrimental to that understanding" (quoted from Non-free content criteria).

 * My deepest apologies, I missed your message. I'm probably a bit late, but I agree fully with David and Pascal above. I know editing can be distressing, but User:Collectonian was IMO not rude in his comments. -- lucasbfr talk 14:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
