Don Tapscott Promotional Shot

Hi there. A while ago I had uploaded a promotional shot of Don Tapscott for his biography article. A few days ago it was deleted. I re-uploaded the image, this time with a different explanation of why I felt it was fair to use it on Misplaced Pages (namely that his company gave it to me for exactly that purpose). I made sure I left such comments both on the article talk page, and on the image, then earlier today, the image was deleted all the same. Would you be able to give me a hand in making sure that I'm able to upload a promo shot so that it does not meet speedy deletion (or any deletion) guidelines? I've been reading through the various criteria but I'm at a loss for backing up my assertions. Thanks for very much for your time. - Jdechambeau 19:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

That was an extremely helpful reply, thank you! - Jdechambeau 20:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for the barnstar! But to keep it neat on my userpage, I've converted it to the {{award2}} template, so it matches my other stars and doesn't throw it off. Again, thanks! :) --AAA! 22:09, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Image Cornelis Dopper

Hi Redvers, I saw you deleted the photograph with my edit on the Cornelis Dopper entry because I forgot to add a copyright notice. My bad, obviously. I have now returned it with the necessary information; I have an e-mail confirming permission to use it from the Dopper Society's chairman. Hopefully all is in order now, but please let me know if it isn't. Thanks, Ilja.

For future reference

Greetings, Redvers. I have long understood that to create a stub for an entertainment group of any kind is to walk on thin ice in these parts, but perhaps I need a more quantitative understanding of the A7 test: I understand now that citing only two recordings published on a major label is insufficient; is it that I did not cite critical reception or sales figures? --Streetstealth 18:42, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Apologies

Sorry if that last message came across as terse. I know you have to deal daily with tons of pointless stuff that people post here, and I should have been more respectful of that. I appreciate that you have a hard job to do as a gatekeeper of sorts, and that given my very short list of contribs, there was almost nothing to distinguish me from the usual vanity page author.

The stub I'd like you to take a second look at was Chocolat & Akito. I'm not saying that I necessarily even disagree with your decision--I just want to know where the line should be drawn with regard to A7. Victor Entertainment is, of course, no small fish in the Japanese recording industry, so the group receives a fair amount of exposure in their native country. On the other hand, though, Victor releases quite a few albums each year.

Either way, I didn't mean to get off on the wrong foot with you. :) I really do want to contribute here, and to better understand the standards by which to do so. --Streetstealth 23:24, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Template:LondonSE

I note you speepy deleted this twice. I wonder which of the criteria at WP:CSD you felt it met. You might note that User:MRSC has recently removed a substantial amount of content on individual postcode districts (including 28 uses of this template), and I cannot find anywhere it has been discussed. --Henrygb 00:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Khador Script

You deleted my file and the reference to the file. http://forums.privateerpress.com/index.php?showtopic=38910

If you read there, you will see that the poster who created the fonts finally received full permission to disseminate them for non-commercial purposes from Privateer Press. Additionally, I have personally asked the creator of the font for permission in the said use just as a formality and received it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dana Montello (talk • contribs).

Keys and cupboards

Hi. Just under a month and a half ago you approached me on my talk page and very generously offered to nominate me for the keys to the janitor's cupboard in due course . I have recently had offers from several users who wish to nominate me for adminship at this time and feel it would now be rude to put the matter off any longer. However, I remain very touched by the fact that you were the first editor to express such confidence in me. If you still feel, allowing for my contributions since then, that you would like to nominate me I would be honoured to accept. WjBscribe 04:04, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

George Vithoulkas

Why did you delete the Vithoulkas photo i had used in the infobox ? If you check his website (both the bio page and the copyright policy page) you'll see they allow the use of photos on WP. Please reply here. Homeopathic 05:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Redvers, thank your for bringing to our attention the use of Vithoulkas' photograph. The photograph can be used freely by anyone now, we've changed its copyright status. Take another look at the links provided above. 62.38.76.63 09:57, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Uploading an Image with permission

Hi,

Sorry for the newbie question. Regarding Ehud Goldwasser - I got official permission form Habanim.org association to use the image in wikipedia. How can I use it now?

Thanks

POV-pushing

Dear Redvers, could you please intervene in Saint Petersburg March of the Discontented? Some aggressive POV-pushing seems to be going on there. Three edit history pages in one day. As you seem to be non-Russian, you are probably able to cool this down. Colchicum 07:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Khador Script 2

So, let me get this straight. . . if someone gives permission for something to be used (but not sold for profit) I can't use it? I have to be able to legally sell everything I write? And someone who gives me use for a font can't give me use for a font or a picture on wikipedia unless they also give me permission to package it as a commercial product? I'm just not understanding very well. . . I thought I did, but I don't.
