Deleted photograph - Mirkwoodwikiphotosmall.jpg

Hi,

I'm hoping you'll help me. I'm also hoping you'll forgive me if I'm doing something wrong in contacting you in this way. I have tried to follow the correct procedure but am still not sure I've got it right.

I was flattered to see that the photo was thought to look professional and therefore might not be in the public domain. I'm not a professional but I did create the `composite' image myself on my PC using Corel Photobook from my own photos. I'm not sure what I should do now and would really appreciate any help you can give. The image is entirely my own work.

Yours sincerely,

1D Vs 2D

Thank you for replacing the Hawaii Seals with one dimensional images. However, the State of Hawaii seal is best represented by 2-dimensional representation, such as on a coin or medal. If one goes to the Capital building of the State of Hawaii, one sees a large 2-dimensional model of the seal. Not a flat computer generated image. I see that you are interested in establishing a visual standard of the Hawaii seals, but are they the official versions? They look somewhat different from the 2-D models.

I understand that your purpose is to establish a visual standard (self made by you) of the Hawaii seals, but are they the official versions? They do not look like official versions. Please re-verify with Hawaii State government officials.

Please reconsider restoring the actual 2-D image for the State of Hawaii seal or providing additional images officially used on coins, medals, etc.... They provide the vibrancy that 1-D can never achieve.

The removed silver medal image is an official 2-D representations of the seal, approved by the Hawaii Senate. Has your versions been approved by Hawaii State Government? Waipahu96797 (talk) 09:54, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Re:Orphaned non-free image File:Logo A.S. Casale Calcio.svg

Hello Skier Dude, i've created the logo through drawing with inkscape, because the actual gif logo has a low quality. Is it possible to add it into the article of A.S. Casale Calcio, including to modify the license? On the other hand, the designed license is contrary to the gif logo too, because copyright enjoys. See page of Casale Calcio.

1968 Texas gubernatorial election

Skier Dude, I added the 1968 and 1970 Texas gubernatorial election pages on Misplaced Pages, but they were removed for some reason.

I also need information on both of those campaigns (I added the candidates' vote percentages, popular votes, etc.,) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 725edwards (talk • contribs) 15:36, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

It appears that you created two empty categories Category:Texas gubernatorial election, 1970 and Category:Texas gubernatorial election, 1968, not articles. the contents were

{{Infobox Election |election_name=Texas gubernatorial election, 1968 |country=Texas |ongoing=yes |previous_election=Texas gubernatorial election, 1966 |previous_year=1966 |next_election=Texas gubernatorial election, 1970 |next_year=1970 |election_date=November 5, 1968 |image1= |nominee1=] |party1=Democratic Party (United States) |popular_vote1=1,662,019 |percentage1=56.99% |image2= |nominee2=] |party2=Republican Party (United States) |popular_vote2=1,254,333 |percentage2=43.01% |map_image=TXGov1968Map.png |map_size=200px |map_caption=Results by ] |title=]<br/>] |before_election=] |before_party=Democratic Party (United States) |after_election=] |after_party=Democratic Party (United States) }}

and

{{Infobox Election |election_name=Texas gubernatorial election, 1970 |country=Texas |type=presidential |ongoing=yes |previous_election=Texas gubernatorial election, 1968 |previous_year=1968 |next_election=Texas gubernatorial election, 1972 |next_year=1972 |Election_date=November 3, 1970 |image1= |nominee1=] |party1=Democratic Party (United States) |popular_vote1=1,232,506 |percentage1=53.43% |image2= |nominee2=Paul Eggers |party2=Republican Party (United States) |popular_vote2=1,073,831 |percentage2=46.55% |map_size=TXGov1970Map.sng=300px |map_caption=] |title=]<br/>] |before_election=Preston Smith |before_party=Democratic Party (United States) |after_election=Dolph Briscoe |after_party=Democratic Party (United States) }}

File:June 2011 Dirt - Ghaze x Dieselryder.jpg

I've been thinking of pictures like that. If it is illegal to grow the plant it is not likely that we can persuade someone to say "It is my plant and I took the photo and my adress is ...". We have a "rule" with grafitti that we can keep it even if it is copyrighted because it is illegal to make so it is not likely that someone will claim copyright. So I wonder if we could do the same here. --MGA73 (talk) 21:42, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

The issue here isn't the subject, as there's no way to verify where/when/by whom it was taken. The issue on-wiki is that there's no verification of the release of (c) by the person that actually took the picture. I guess that could lead to a longer-discussion (probably here somewhere, don't know where - I always contact the foundation and ask for oversight when I find these) about pictures of possibly illegal content/subject matter. Skier Dude2 (talk) 22:14, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Normally we do not oversight files uploaded without permission so I see no reason to oversight that image. Anyway I asked the uploader if it is illegal to grow where he/she is etc. Lets see what happens. --MGA73 (talk) 23:03, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Photos for deletion

Hey Skier Dude,

I see you tagged the Konica logo I replaced for deletion. I actually have a couple other pics that I replaced today that I need to get deleted as well. I have them tagged for speedy deletion, but they've been up for hours. One of them (the Minolta logo) I uploaded both versions of, so I really don't see why it would be a problem. It's located here. The other is the logo for Reprise Records. I replaced the jpeg with an svg, but the jpeg is still hanging around. It's here if you would like to take a look. Thanks!

Orphaned non-free image File:OSEA Logo.svg

This image is corrupted and so non-usable. I would delete it myself but, being new to Misplaced Pages, I have not yet figured out how to do this. Thanks for your help. Neil Fairhead 16:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil Fairhead (talk • contribs)

Jane Gazzo photo

Hello. I wasn't following but noticed that just today the photo "File:Gazzo1.jpg" was deleted and no longer shows in the Jane Gazzo article in Misplaced Pages. Didn't User:Satchett assert in 2008 when it was up for deletion that they owned copyright to it? Just a thought. Best wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 20:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The person did claim ownership, but since there is no connection between the red-linked User:Satchett and the picture, there's no way to confirm that this was really the person in question. There was a 2005 version of the image that cites risetv.co.uk as the actual source/owners of the headshot, which leads to additional questions about the authenticity of the claim made by Satchett. I guess that if the article is ever resurrected someone could do some research into the authenticity of the image, but given that the only version seems to be from here, which is a placeholder site now, it might be a bit difficult! Skier Dude (talk) 00:00, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for your explanation. I take your points. We'll see what pans out from all this. The archived page in the Wayback Machine wasn't just now accessible to me. Bests. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc (talk) 02:14, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

File:Mirkwood wiki photosmall.jpeg,

Hi Skier Dude,

Thanks for replying to my query re deletion of the above pic.

I note you say I need to produce the original source photo from which I made the collage. I still have the original photo in my possession - it is not a professional photo but was taken for me by a friend using my camera. All I have done is create a collage of head shots using Corel Photobook.

I am happy to upload the original photo but fear it might be deleted for the same reason as my collage was. I will be very grateful if you can find a few minutes to advise me what to do.

Many thanks for your help.

Thanks for setting a decent length of semi-protection on Chris Jericho. The sheer inanity of the anonymous edits was getting very wearing even before the incessant vandalism over the last day. Cheers! ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹ 04:17, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Funny CSD

I already tagged File:Promises JM.jpg‎ with db-author, which was declined. Please, go ahead and do whatever you want to that image. Misplaced Pages bureaucracy is becoming curiouser and curiouser by the day. When I want it deleted the process points another way, but when someone else wants it deleted the process points at me.
