== Protection level on {{Lw|File Upload Wizard}} ==


Take the survey ''''''.
Hello Future Perfect at Sunrise, I recently requested the protection level of this template (in Misplaced Pages project space) to be lowered to the {{TE}} protection level, which was declined by {{U|HJ Mitchell}} saying that I should make my request to you directly. {{GENDER:HJ Mitchell|He|She|They}} also said something about the request being high profile, which I don't understand as both requests were simple requests for links. Hopefully, {{Heshe|HJ Mitchell}} will be able to clarify what they meant by that. Both of the edit requests on the talk page (of which one of them was mine), have now been answered, but I would like to be able to tweak the wording a little. I think that Template editor is an appropriate protection level for this template. Thanks! — <span class="nowrap">&#123;&#123;U&#124;]&#125;&#125;</span> <sup>(] • ] • ])</sup> 16:09, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
: Done. Thanks for volunteering to help with maintaining the upload script. I wasn't really familiar with that new userright level, but I guess it makes sense to assume that if an editor can be trusted to code Luo templates they should be trusted to work with this thing too. Please let me know if you have any questions about how the code works. ] ] 16:24, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Hey Future Perfect, thanks for posting on my wall your concerns about the file I uploaded. As far as I know (I looked around), there's no free image of the building available, so I grabbed one from the athletics web site and uploaded as non-free use. The photos of the basketball floor on the page I had the file page link to are out of date (the university changed its name, and the floor is different now), so I went with a front-of-the-building shot. Can you help me understand what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! ] (]) 20:42, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
: Hi, thanks for asking. The thing about our ] is, we consider a non-free image replaceable with a free one not just if such a free replacement is already available, but also if we merely know that one ''could'' be created. Since anybody could go and take a new free photo of that building at any time, we won't resort to a non-free one instead. ] ] 20:46, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
::Makes sense. But can the photo I uploaded still be used in the meantime in the article, until I can replace it with a photo I've either taken, or been granted permission to release? (My user page explains a bit of why I have this account in the first place). Thanks for the insight! ] (]) 20:56, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
::: No, I'm afraid Misplaced Pages is rather strict about these non-free content rules, so we really can't have the non-free photo. (There's actually the idea that we use the strict prohibition of unnecessary non-free images as a kind of incentive for people to create new free ones that otherwise they wouldn't create.) But if you're connected to the university, it should really not be so difficult to grab a camera and take a shot, or get a friend to take one, right? ] ] 21:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
::::D'oh. Duh. I realize now that my very question answered itself by reading your comment. Yeah, I should be able to get a photo somehow. Thanks for the advice and insight! ] (]) 01:04, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Future I don't wish to edit war and would like some administrative help. I recently reverted the page ] to my previous version which was fully sourced (pertaining to the lead) and completely summarized the artist, albeit may have needed some trimming and tweaking as the version by a new user had a lot of grammatical errors, wrong formatting, seemed to be adapted from foreign language conventions not from fluent english, and also strangely omitted sourced content, even non-contentious events. What's more is that the overall neutrality of the article did not change, it was just written more poorly. More importantly a lot of the writing in the article was manipulated in translation to convey a different message than what's in the sources. The ] keeps doing full reverts, which also removed a lot of non-contentious edits I had made, ie formatting, updates. I tried to speak with him but he wasn't very cooperative, just calling it "absolutely terrible" and insulting my writing. I don't believe he has even read the article or sources as, also I gave many examples of featured articles that contain similar content he was complaining about, although it doesn't seem like he has any knowledge of the topic anyway. Now I see he has reverted again, and to make things worse, he has completely cut the lead, not just critical reception and superlatives, but actual events, history, genre and artistic descriptions, sourced awards and titles. It is completely unrepresentative of the artist now. He's literally omitted the last 15 years of the artist's career! and neutral information and only left a negative about the military controversy, now giving it extremely undue weight. Also there is inaccurate information about 2 albums regaining commercial success, when the rise was critical. I don't see how someone can make such edits without any background knowledge, this current version isn't even supported by the sources, it was very careless. I told him to tweak the phrasing he didn't like (as the previous lead was fully sourced) or tell me so I could do it but he just keeps making destructive edits. ] (]) 18:49, 16 March 2014 (UTC)
</div>
:Actually, my last edit was ''not'' a revert: I just removed all the gushing from the lead that GreekStar12 keeps restoring. Not much of the lead was left after that. Hopefully some reasonably neutral editor will determine a neutral method of expressing any important material that I omitted in the process.&mdash;](]) 19:23, 16 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians, due to changed circumstances in my private and professional life I am currently hovering somewhere in between "busy in real life and may not respond quickly to inquiries" and "semi-retired". I'll probably be around from time to time, but please don't rely on me for quick admin action or the like, for the time being. All the best, – Fut.Perf. 05:27, 19 October 2017 (UTC)
