Hi. As you were involved in some of the recent discussion and debate about the images in the article on ], I thought you might like to know a separate proceeding was brought to remove the Time image by outright deletion from the wiki . It's at http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2009_February_12#Time_evolution_wars.jpg .
If you are at all interested in the issue, it would be reasonable to post a "keep" or a "delete" at that page. ... ] (]) 14:41, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

:Hi there, I see that you are making edits on ] without gathering consensus. I have unprotected the article, as I thought that the issue has been resolved - but it clearly hasn't. I would rather not re-protect the article, but suggest that you gather consensus on the talk page, before you make edits. The consensus needs to be definitive and clearly agreed between the editors, not a 'mention' for the consensus. The RFC maybe about non-free images, but if editors are disagreeing with your edits - then edit wars will start. Therefore, you '''must gather consensus''' before making any more edits to the page. I have reverted your edits to the page. Please note that if you don't gather consensus, then you maybe temporarily blocked, or the page protected for a further period of time.


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ].
:Regards,


Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the ], but other ]es exist.

::Respectfully, this RfC is about something altogether different. Using some free images is strictly a preference and there is no contention on this matter in the RfC or elsewhere. Since it is a matter of preference, the consensus should simply be should these free images be used in this article as a lead image or not.

The debate is not about what color to use. The question is whether the colors used should follow ] and be at a contrast level that permits the colorblind to read the information.
