History of the National Hockey League (1967–1992)

I've gone through again and tightened up some of the wording, and am nominating it at FAC. I've added you as a co-nominator. Hopefully we can go 3-for-4 on this series. Resolute 18:52, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of article

I have looked over the "A7" guidelines, and I do not understand why the article is not about a notable person. Devon Hunter has created a blog that is becoming an important resource online for the community it addresses. It is also one of only a few (if not the only) blog of it's kind that deals with its subject material in the way that it does.Jack Kirven 1/3/2009 74.235.45.229 (talk) 04:59, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Many people run popular blogs, and it doesn't mean they should have an article. There were no independent references in that articles, and I can't find any myself via a Google search. --Maxim_(talk) 14:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Maxim, just wondering how Crystal Fountains page should be formatted in order to make it to Misplaced Pages. I found WET Design page and it's a fountains company as well that was not deleted. What's the difference between our articles? Should we reference more to educational terms and famous projects? Please let is know. Thank you.

Deletion of Eastfield Cricket Club

Hi, I note you have deleted the article for the Eastfield Cricket Club. The reasons given were "I live in Croydon and have never heard of Benson Oval or the Eastfield Cricket Club and Ringwood is over 100 miles away". Understand that may be the case for the Croydon in the UK, however in Australia these is definately an Eastfield Cricket Club in Croydon (Melbourne Australia) and Croydon and Ringwood are less than 1 Kilometre away from each other. Could you please re-instate the article? thanks Jarrod Bell President Eastfield Cricket Club 08.01.09

Isan article

Hi, I see you've been looking for references for the Isan article. Thanks! As you've noticed, however, it's a bit of a specialist subject. :) It would probably be as well to leave it for now and I'll get round to working on it again eventually, and just let the FAR shenanigans take their course for now.

Cheers, Henry 09:16, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thomas D. Brock

13:13, 6 July 2007 Maxim (Talk | contribs) deleted "Thomas D. Brock" ‎ (Non-notable (A7))

If the text is salvageable, could you please restore this? He's a famous biologist. I'm working on what links here. Viriditas (talk) 13:52, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm going to recreate a stub. I would appreciate it if you would restore any relevant content to the new talk page. Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 14:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

See Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review/Log/2009_January_12#Thomas_D._Brock. It's probably as well to start from scratch. --Apoc2400 (talk) 20:02, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

As was supported there. Since the deletion review was over so fast, i do want to protest at am a little troubled by your earlier speedy. an assertion of a named professorship is a clear assertion of importance not just enough to pass speedy, but to pass WP:PROF, now and even in 2007. Why did you not restore it when you were asked, and instead forced the work of deletion review? DGG (talk) 23:01, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me for butting in here, but why such a combatative tone DGG? Have you not seen Maxim's contributions? He hasn't edited in over a week and I'm sure he didn't see this message to restore it. If he had done then I'm sure he would have restored the text. There's no need to go running off to other other users talk pages saying you're going to be auditing Maxim's deletion log. It was a simple mistake and there's no need to shoot him down because of it. This sort of attitude is why we're losing good admins who donate their spare time. What thanks do they get for that? Misinformed slapped wrists when they haven't even edited since the request to undelete. Ryan Postlethwaite 23:58, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Agreeing mostly with what Ryan said, I also wish to protest the fact you expect every admin to provide a response within six hours and not be a human and not have a life and not be burnt out and not be able to take breaks. Maxim_(talk) 21:29, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

my apologies if it sounded unfair, but seeing such articles nominated for speedy two years ago when I came here is what in fact brought me to take an interest in WP process, and I am even less likely to pass over them now. But my tone did need some improvement, and I modified it for the record as I indicated. DGG (talk) 02:01, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Restore History

Hello,

Could you restore the history of Red Orchestra: Mare Nostrum that you deleted previously because it did not fit the requirements, but now it does and it has a full page? Thank you.

-PatPeter 03:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Certainly.  Done Maxim_(talk) 11:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Tug of War

How about restoring PaulMcCartneyalbum - TugOfWar.jpg? I am not sure where it was used that it was invalid, but it was used on the album's page and it's valid there. John Cardinal (talk) 04:33, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

My bad, of sorts. I got confused when deleting by the missing disambiguation. I've restored and fixed it for you. Maxim_(talk) 11:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Jupiterpanzergrenadiers.jpg

I have only just noticed there was a post on my userpage about this photo.

I know it states i didnt make an adqueate fair use claim; if you know - what was it missing, what didnt i do right?

Cheers --EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 09:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

A non-free image must comply with our non-free content criteria (NFCC). In your case, you were completely missing justification, a requirement of NFCC#10. I've restored the image since you know best why you are using, and I've reset the time limit, so there are seven days remaining to fix it. Maxim_(talk) 11:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

File:David Byrne and Brian Eno 2008.jpg and NFCC

Thanks You requested that File:David Byrne and Brian Eno 2008.jpg be made a bit smaller to comply with NFCC #3b. Reviewing that guideline, there isn't a clear criteria of resolution or file-size, so I'm not sure to what extent the image needs to be manipulated. For what it's worth - and this is present in the summary at that file's page - I have already cropped the original image. If you have a more definite guideline, please let me know and I will be happy to comply as best I can. Please post on my talk if you would like to respond. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 00:54, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Onitsha File

How was my justification not proper? It is an advertising material, a book cover that is in the public domain, especially for the purposes of a non-profit article on the novel. I said that it in my justification, and now you've stripped my article of it's picture. I seriously don't know why I even try here anymore, not with the miles upon miles of bullshit and bureaucratic red tape, people have gradually decided there have to be strict guidelines and codes for everything. Please tell me though how the picture didn't meet the so-called "standards".--Robert Waalk (talk) 02:45, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I strongly dislike bureaucracy; however, you must realise that Misplaced Pages is licensed under the GFDL, a copyleft license. Misplaced Pages also accepts copyrighted material, under strict conditions. It's a matter of copyright issues here, and to avoid an abuse of these copyrighted materials, the conditions are strictly enforced. I can certainly take another look at your file if you provide me a direct link. Thanks, Maxim_(talk) 02:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I'll have to rewrite the whole justification and what not. The whole issue of images is something I don't like to deal with because its so much more trouble than it should be, and more than its worth. I think I'm just going to drop doing them, because I don't like putting as much effort in detail in my proposals as is deemed neccesssary. This is the third picture I've had deleted unfortunately.--Robert Waalk (talk) 22:13, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Polite reminder

Please remember when deleting files to remove links to them, avoiding leaving messy redlinks on articles. Thanks. --John (talk) 05:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Image:Rice MBA Logo 2.png

Please explain to me what was wrong with the rationale for this image? It's the school's logo. It's used only within the school's article, and I explained this in the rationale. It's pretty standard to include a school's logo in their articles - so what gives? Rklawton (talk) 05:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

I think you already know when you restored the image. Maxim_(talk) 15:02, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Any chance you could do this again? I spotted an error in the code but have now fixed this in the sandbox. Cheers! PC78 (talk) 15:36, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

Image deletion

Hello. You deleted File:Flo from Progressive Insurance.jpg without posting any advance warning on my talk page, and without asking me to give a better justification for use of the image. Furthermore, the justification for which I had already given for the image was already well within the proper wikipedia guidelines. Grundle2600 (talk) 01:37, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

You were notified by FairuseBot who flagged the image for deletion. Your rationale was highly deficient, as you just said it was under fair use and not justification as to why its usage was necessary. If you wish to fix the image (I personally don't see why exactly you need it, but as the uploader you likely do), I can restore it. Maxim_(talk) 13:56, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

I responded to the notification from FairuseBot by removing the image from the articles where I had not explained a rationale on the image page, and I left the image in the one article where I did put a rationale for use on the image page. And I explined all of this on my talk page right after the posting by FairuseBot, all in less than one hour from when the bot left the message. And yet more than a week after I fixed the problem, you deleted the image. There is no justification for your having deleted the image. If you had actually read my response to FairuseBot, you would know that. I want the image restored. Grundle2600 (talk) 17:10, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

You need to provide actual justification as to why it is fair use to use the image. You can't just say it's fair use and that's it, that's all. You must justify how it meets WP:NFCC (especially #8). Maxim_(talk) 02:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I said the image was being used in the article Flo (Progressive insurance girl). That's what the image is. It was the other two uses of the image that caused the bot to tag it, but I deleted the image from those two articles, and I explained so in the same place where the bot left the message. And how can you expect me to fix something that you deleted? Why did you delete it, instead of placing a message on my talk page asking me to fix it? How can you expect me to fix something after you deleted it? And why haven't you resored it yet like you said you would? How can I fix it if it's not there? Please restore it, and please tell me what you think I need to do to fix it. Grundle2600 (talk) 14:22, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

You need justify why that image will significantly increases the understanding of the article (which is a stub). I've restored it, but I honestly don't think you can make a good argument as to why that image should be included. Maxim_(talk) 22:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I added some more information to the image page about why the image is in the article. Grundle2600 (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Maxim, your deletion of PNG version left an article with no logo. Could you please have a look at this discussion? Thanks, --EnOreg (talk) 15:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

The rationale was pretty deficient; should I restore it so it can be fixed? Maxim_(talk) 02:32, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I would hope that this is fair use of a logo as described in the guideline. I don't know what the rationale was and I'm afraid I have no experience how to get a better one. Can you help? Thanks, --EnOreg (talk) 14:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

In any case, yes, please restore it. --EnOreg (talk) 20:41, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

File:Cooling curve.png

Hi, I noticed that the file File:Cooling curve.png at the Commons is missing the author data and a description. The source info says that it was originally transferred from here, the en.wiki, so after looking at the delete logs I found that you deleted. I was just wondering if you could either quickly undelete it or get its author in some other way (and perhaps any English description info) so that I could update it at the Commons. Thanks! Wizard191 (talk) 03:33, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

US-Airport Template

I believe that there is a consensus to make the changes, that were suggested when the template was up for deletion, to the US-Airport template. It is being done to remove private party links until guidelines are put in place for third party links.

The only people against the change are people that have not participated in the discussion for months and only appear right as the change is going to be made, Dual Freq being the exception. Dual Freq’s position is that the template should be deleted all together, but since it did not pass I have simply been trying to follow through with the recommendations on the deletion talk page, that private party links be removed until guidelines are formed about how those links are chosen.

If the change is performed with the addition of the FAA government website and the non-profit Aviation Safety Network, it will be in the best interest of Misplaced Pages, to use these non-commercial websites instead of commercial websites that are for profit and have advertisements on them. -Neilh89 (talk) 15:47, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

There seems to be no consensus at the talkpage. Have you solicited WP:AIRPORT members to comment? Maxim_(talk) 22:50, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

I have not solicited WP:AIRPORT, however I will do this soon, how is this change not in the best interest to make the template conform to Misplaced Pages’s policy on External Links Misplaced Pages:External_links, and provide more reliable government and noncommercial information to Misplaced Pages users. - Neilh89 (talk) 19:01, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

User:PD's Reply

Good evening to you, I've now got some time to explain to you what happened. As the Wikipedian who constructed the Misplaced Pages article called the Georgia Centralist Party I only managed to have some time for a brief glance at the article to find that soime users had put several names of the leader of this party and I wanted to ask them where there sources were or why they did it.

However some time ago I found that this article was deleted and didn't know why. Was it because of the various unsourced names those users placed on the infobox beside the word leader? I give that to you as apossibility however I think you feel the article doesn't have enough sources.

I've done a brief search on google and could only find this third party source, is this website a suitable source to support my Misplaced Pages article on the party which I think is also called the Centralist Party of Georgia?

Apart from that I've found just now from what is called a cached version of this deleted Misplaced Pages article on the GCP. [http://74.125.77.132/search?q=cac he:FD-FZ6zlNg8J:en.wikipedia.org/w iki/Georgia_Centralist_Party+Georgia+Centralist+Party&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=be] the names that were placed by the users onto the infobox beside the word ″leader″. They were Barry Panozzo, Bright Moilly, Stark Stain and Bryant Moil. One final comment I want to make is that maybe this weekend when my dads less busy we can send an e-mail to the Georgia Centralist Party asking to send us any third party sources like newpaper articles discussing them or even ask them to send to us any of their policies.

If you want to discuss more about this then please reply here or on my discussion page, thank you. Political Dweeb (talk) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.235.223.165 (talk) 18:05, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of File:Apple Computer Logo.svg

Quite frankly, this wasn't warranted. Andrew c (talk · contribs) removed the FUR for Apple Inc., which caused the image to be orphaned. Did you not check the image's history before deleting it?

Please restore the image as currently the relevant section looks a bit odd now that it is missing the rainbow Apple logo. ~ Paul/_C 02:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

I concur. This is one case where determining the justification is trivial by inspection: The justification for the other images in that section applies to this image as well. Adding the missing justification is greatly preferred to deleting the image. Conversely, if you think none of them are justified, treat them as a group and send them all to FFD. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

My apologies, I didn't check the history on that one, probably would've weeded out the problem, so I've restored it. @Davidwr, I was not promoted to admin a week ago, I've been doing fair use issues for well over a year, and I don't need a lengthy lecture about it--in fact, how did you find this discussion and why did you decide that I need a talking-to? Maxim_(talk) 00:32, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

My apologies if my tone was out of line. I came here because this page showed up on the "File links" section of File:Flo from Progressive Insurance.jpg a few days ago and I hadn't got around to de-watchlisting this page. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 00:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
