Re: Lack of response

I'm trying to remain as civil as possible, which I'm finding it incredibly difficult to be when interacting with you. I have a longstanding rule not to post to AN/I. Please do not post to my talk page again. Thanks. --MZMcBride (talk) 01:27, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Whoops. I thought you were an admin. Seeing that you're not, feel free to post wherever you like. --MZMcBride (talk) 06:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi

You seem to have more free time than I currently do and understand licensing issues. I was wondering if you could possibly go over the images uploaded by this guy - most of them should be copyvios. Yonatan 18:52, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'll take a look. Kelly 13:20, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Mickey 117 pics

Hey Kelly, actually most of those political party emblems are not copyrighted , but you're right such a license would be better anyway. However, about those presidential pictures, the problem is that I didin't know how to license them properly! here's the source of most of them: www.presidency.gov.lb, but anyway, I don't think they should be deleted because these are official presidential pictures (most of them) as I know, they are usually in the public domain.... anyway, the rest of the presidential pictures come from personal collections of mine, they have absolutely no copyright. Thanks in advance! Mickey117 Mickey117 (talk) 16:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Image

Heh, duhh! I should have spotted that. All I saw was the CC license; I didn't see the links. Deleted now. :) By the way, when the page is on the Commons but the image page exists here, and the page is empty, can I delete it? I'm missing out about six CSD's because I wasn't sure, and as I've seen your name with images more than anyone else's I thought you'd know. :D Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 13:36, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, thanks. I thought so but I'm quite new to image deletion and there is quite a backlog. Helping out where I can. :) Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 13:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:DivinylsHomebake2007.jpg deleted

File:DivinylsHomebake2007.jpg appears to have been deleted.

Earlier today I had received a note at my talkpage from User:Kelly (User talk:Kelly) on 01:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC) which indicated it would be speedily deleted, I responded with a hang on plate but feel that I may have been too late.

On the talkpage for the article Image talk:DivinylsHomebake2007.jpg I responded with:

On 14:27, 1 June 2008, I found a photo on Flickr of Divinyls performing at Homebake on 8 December 2007 uploaded there by MikeLikesStuff and I uploaded it to the wikipedia article on the same band. I believe that such images are allowed to be used by wikipedia provided that the author is acknowledged, which I did, and that no profit is made by uploading it. Is Flickr no longer suitable as a source of Creative Commons photos?Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I have absolutely no desire to breach copyright, could you please clarify the status of images on Flickr? Do I have to get direct permission from the author or do I only obtain free images from Creative Commons?Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 08:05, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I see now where I made my error - when searching for a Divinyls photo - I inadvertently didn't check the CC search mode at Flickr. I apologise for uploading the above image and concede it may be CV. There is no need to reply. I will attempt to ensure I don't make this mistake in future.Shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:54, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the note. Kelly 13:37, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Weird tags

Hey Kelly, so if your page User:Kelly/Image license templates‎ is looking a bit weird, I'm probably to blame. I'm going through all the tags and changing them to the Non-free X style. But its leaving a lot of redirects that were once tags. Now if I left the redirects, people could begin using them again and break the whole machine readable goal. But if I delete them, it makes lots of wikilinks where they were once referenced look weird, so I'm using {{softredirect}} to maintain the connection to the new template name, while making them unusable as license tags. if you want a crib sheet to my work, its at User:MBisanz/BotR. Figured I'd give you a heads up since you do so much work with them. MBisanz 08:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Bellucci

Could you explain what this is for? There's no particular pattern of adding unsourced claims. It's actually the other way around. Two birthyears are common in reliable sources. Most people agree one of them is right, but have been unable to reliably and verifiably rule out the other. There's no real BLP issue here. Gimmetrow 22:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you're averse to this being added. It does no harm and puts extra eyes on the article, just leave it, please. Kelly 22:02, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

If you "blpwatch" articles unnecessarily, it fills the category and makes it more difficult to keep tabs on the articles that need it. Gimmetrow 22:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

There's like, 100 articles in the category? I don't think the watchers are overloaded. Kelly 22:23, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see User_talk:Howcheng#Misplaced Pages:Possibly_unfree_images.2F2008_June_6.23Image:Villianc.svg, thanks. Cheers! Gwen Gale (talk) 00:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Images

Hi Kelly, if you upload to Commons any of images I originally uploaded, could you please ask on the image page that a local copy be kept — particularly if they're animal rights-related images, which tend to disappear on Commons, even when they clearly have a free licence.
