My Picture

I apologize for using two licenses. I wasn't sure since this is my first time uploading an image. Thank you for the information and I will make due changes. Marx01 (talk) 05:17, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

The intelligence, or lack thereof, of bots

Hi, Fastily. Perhaps your experience with bots has been better than mine, but I believe they're not only retarded, but persistently and agressively so. I've seen them needlessly delete countless images... Acceptable Fair Use and even Public Domain that were properly labeled, but the bot couldn't read whatever particular format was used. And nobody-- especially the bot-owner-- seems to care when they do. That's why I put multiple formats in my image descriptions... Anyway, I've got these images on my watchlist, so if some bumbling, self-important jackass of a bot tries to delete one, I'll catch it. :) Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 20:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I've got rants splattered all over Misplaced Pages, and not just for bot-use :) Editing here is a fun and educational hobby, but a frustrating one at times... Happy editing! Dekkappai (talk) 21:03, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Fastily -- what do I need to do to put the Zubis Rises picture up?

Zubis picture

Hi Fastily -- somebody named ImageBot removed the Zubis picture. What should I do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Critic11 (talk • contribs) 13:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

HI -- the author sent me the .jpg for me to use after I asked him/her; they have the copyright but said it was okay to put it up. So what do I do to tag it? I looked at the copyright page but I wasn't sure what to do!

I -- am new to this. Give me an email I can I forward the email I got from her to you?

Future Eyes

Thanks for explaining that I had uploaded the File:Sheila Walsh-Future Eyes 500.jpg image and it was in danger of being deleted. Too bad you didn't explain how to add the required information and haven't complained to the owners of the site that when uploading album art work, from the provided drop down menu, that additional information should be requested. Otherwise, otherwise legitimate material will be removed. These are the barriers that make entry into updating Misplaced Pages nearly impossible for the technically adept. I believe that I have added sufficient information that it won't make it to the speedy delete list. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 23:53, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Image copyright

Hi Fastily,

I have spoken to the original owner of the photos File:Anahita-Xerxes.jpg and File:Shir o Khorshid.jpg that I have uploaded recently and he granted me the full permission. His name is Dr. Nasser Engheta and his website is: http://nasserengheta.com/ketab-shirokhorshid.htm and his phone number is +1 661 254 8757. These files are all over Internet but he is particularly contented for adding his photos that are coming from his books to Misplaced Pages.

Image Description

I have removed the picture since the picture is already available on Misplaced Pages. Thanks for your concern. Nefirious (talk) 03:58, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Copyright on pictures I've uploaded

I am having difficulty figuring out how to add copyright info. I took a picture myself and uploaded it, so I have no real copyright. What should I do?

Added the hangon criteria

Please refer to ] and let me know if that's enough or if you need anything else. Cheers. Krupo (talk) 05:13, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• You are a wonderful wikipedian, thank you! Krupo (talk) 01:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Kevinrivers.jpg

Hi Fastly,

I've deleted the old image and placed a new one under the same profile Kevin Rivers. This image was created by Kevin Rivers and under the CC license. Please let me know if everything else checks out OK. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xandus (talk • contribs) 01:03, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Congratulations

After your successful request I have added the admin rights to your account. Spend some more time on the administrators' reading list especially if you take on a task you're not as familiar with. Be conservative with the tools, particularly blocking, as it's usually better to learn to de-escalate a situation than to inflame it with blocks, etc. Keep up the good work, stay conscientious, and I'm sure you'll do well. - Taxman 01:20, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
