Revision as of 18:19, 27 July 2007
| WELCOME! |
| Hello, and welcome to my talk page. I will be glad to discuss anything with you. Click here to start a new discussion. All threads older than 3 days will be archived. Have a great day. |
| NOTE |
| I have been deleting many images tagged for deletion. If it was a fair use image, before requesting that I restore it, please make sure that you had an extensive fair use description of why it should be allowed, or be prepared to give one, as fair use images cannot be used under blanket reasons such as "it's from a movie" or "it's the cover of a CD." This being said, I won't restore 90% of the images I deleted. Thanks.
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, if you do ask me to look at an image I deleted, please provide me with the image name. A quick look at my logs will show you that I cannot possibly remember all the images I deleted. If you can't provide me with that, then there's not much I can do for you, as I don't have the time to dig through my logs or the page histories to find it. Thanks again. |

Recent deletion of Category:Wikipedians who scuba dive
I have undone this recent deletion by your bot ^demon. I ask you to discuss this deletion at the category talk page.

Wrongful Deletion of the File:Henry O. Studley Tool Chest Open.jpg
I have been away from wikipedia for a while, and I just noticed that the image for the Henry O Studley article that I uploaded was deleted by you. I was enquiring as to why it was deleted, as it was properly documented with the source and the licensing info, as it is a fair use image. I am fairly sure I complied with all the wikipedia rules regarding images.
If it can be restored by you please do so. If not please send me a message on my talk page explaining what I failed to do to make the image an acceptable wikipedia image. It is my understanding that all works done by the federal government fall under the fair use license.
Thanks for any reply. CoolMike 21:20, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
- Just thought I'd include a link to the article for your reference. I realize it was probably a while ago that the image got deleted.
Thanks
- Sorry about my somewhat angry tone earlyer... I have since discovered that the issue is a little thornier than I had thought. The image was from the smithsonian institution, which is funded by the US federal government. They have a long copywrite notice here: copywright notice The image that I want to re-upload is here: . Maybee you can help me make sence of this. According to the SI web site I should be able to use it as wikipedia is a non-profit, educational web site. I gather that there is some conflicting policies from the Smithsonian Institution about this sort of thing. Check out that wikilink for info. It seems to me like the image is good to be used in wikipedia, but I figured I'd ask your opinion and read up on the wikipedia policies a little more before uploading any more images from the smithsonian. CoolMike 00:17, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
- The only issue is that our downstream mirrors (such as Answers.com) do not necessarily support the "non-profit" model, which means this image cannot necessarily be distributed to them. ^demon 00:36, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

- There seems to be some contradictions on the wikipedia policy regarding the use of "Fair Use" images. See wikipedia:Reusing Misplaced Pages content (towards the end of the page) and wikipedia:non-free content (the section entitled "Down stream content". In my opinion the article in question warrents the use of a fair-use image becuase there is no other easily available public domain image. I have looked around pretty extensively for a picture of Henry O. Studley, or his tool chest that is public domain, and I was unable to find any. The tool chest is currently in the possession of a private and annonymous collector, and so it is unlikely that a free use image is going to turn up any time soon. Henry O. Studley him is deceased. This leads to a quandry, as there are only fair use images for the article. These images would add a great deal to the article. Also they are not expressely forbidden by the wikipedia policies. Is there any due process for appealing a speedy deletion? The more I read about wikipedia policy the more dissatisfied I become with the contradictory and ambiguous nature of the policies. A simple vote or something would be much more satisfying to me than trolling through some of these really porely worded guideline pages. Thanks for your feedback by the way CoolMike 01:22, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Restored. ^demon 15:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch. Is there anything I can do / should do to make the copyright/licensing notices more complete? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. It appears the old template for licensing from the smithsonian institution has been removed. CoolMike 16:03, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

could you point me to the nomination for this image for speedy delete? --emerson7 | Talk 14:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- There is no nomination page, it was nominated directly on its image page. ^demon 14:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Re:Signpost Report
Thanks for pointing this out. I'll put it into next week's edition. I'll just use the online edition because even if you sent me the scan, I can't link to it! Thanks. enochlau (talk) 00:08, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for mediation/Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Is anything progressing with this mediation? A user has placed a request on WP:RPP to have the protection removed from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but as it was protected with the statement "until med case is solved" I am hesitant to remove protection. If, however, nothing is to come from the mediation, I would like to remove protection from this article (it has been two months). Since you're listed as the one heading this case, I figured you'd know. - auburnpilot talk 23:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- To be perfectly honest, I haven't thought about the case in days. If I wasn't up to my ears in this whole ArbCom mess, I'd go look at it now. Perhaps you can ping User:Daniel to see if it can get reassigned and/or closed. I'm just not focused on it right now, sorry. ^demon 23:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, ^demon. I left Daniel a note. - auburnpilot talk 00:10, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Deletion of Image:Iran1980s.jpg
Thank you for providing administrative services to Misplaced Pages. The image you deleted, Image:Iran1980s.jpg was being worked on by the graphics lab in an effort to produce an image which conforms to wikipedia policy. We realize that Image:Iran1980s.jpg did not conform to policy, but nonetheless it was one of the source images for this effort, and it may have been vital to our success. We ask that you check in the future if an image is linked to by the graphics lab, or if it has the {{glhangon}} tag before deleting it. Thanks, --BsayUSD 16:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
P.S. I did read your red notice at the top of your talk page, we at the graphics lab are not claiming fair use, only that we were "in use" of the image for our project. As soon as an alternative was finished, the image in question was to be proposed for deletion, and the {{glhangon}} (if used) would have been removed as well as the link from the graphics lab. Thanks, --BsayUSD 16:59, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
