==Some Historical Background==
Damiens, I'm writing this to you in a truly positive spirit, so please do not feel that I am criticizing you, because that is not my intent. I noticed that in the discussions for the deletions of photos regarding ] and ], you referred to Campos as "this guy" and Lebron as "this lady."

But it turns out that Albizu Campos is a highly regarded figure (controversial, but passionately regarded by many) in Puerto Rican history. To Puerto Ricans he is analogous to ], ], ], ], and other revolutionary liberators. Lolita Lebron (also controversial) has a passionate following amongst Independence and Nationalist parties and sympathizers in Puerto Rico. So I'm writing to provide you a heads-up -- when you refer to them as "this guy" and "this lady," it appears callous even though I don't think you intend it that way. How you proceed with this information is up to you, but I thought it might be helpful for you to know this.

Again, no offense intended. I'm only trying to provide you a little background. I hope it helps. ] (]) 03:54, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

:Damiens, I too found the "this guy" categorization as callous when you referred to . I had already made a similar observation and, with all respect to Damiens, I too provided him with a bit of information of how such wording ("this guy") is offensive to others. Insensitive at least. Ignorance of other cultures and/or other people's history at the very least. As for Albizu Campos, he is the ] of USA. Just some insight. Thank you. ] (]) 05:21, 14 January 2014 (UTC)


I'll be more careful. No offense was intended. I use "''this guy''/''that lady''" because, for what's relevant for the deletion discussion, is that we already have images of those people, regardless of how historically important they were (the people). And thanks for such a polite notice! --] 11:53, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

::Don't mention it. Thank you for receiving it, in the same spirit that I wrote it. ] (]) 22:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

* For the record, ''"the discussions for the deletions of photos regarding ] and ], you referred to Campos as 'this guy' and Lebron as 'this lady'"'' that Nelson is referring to above are (Pedro Albizu in prison) and (Lolita Lebron being arrested). However, what makes this doubly interesting is that it wasn't until, in a spirit of colaboration, Nelson mentioned above that ''"But it turns out that Albizu Campos is a highly regarded figure (controversial, but passionately regarded by many) in Puerto Rican history...he is analogous to ], ], ], ], and other revolutionary liberators"'', that Damiens then went back into the ] and started turning over every other image there, at which point he stumbled upon the image of "Clemente Soto Velez, Juan Antonio Corretjer and Pedro Albizu Campos prior to their trial" and found it was being licensed under fair use. He went into trigger-happy mode and upped the ante and didn't just nominate the image for deletion but outright as "decorative" (no talk page discussion). After I reverted his removal with an invitation to the TP and/or ], he entered into an edit war with me and going back to his preferred version of the article (the version w/o the PAC trial image). And this was all happening while he was also edit-warring with me at ]. Then, fortunately for everyone, along comes Nelson and puts more text into the Pedro Albizu Campos at trial image's caption, returns the image to the article and civilly starts discussion in the PAC talk page. Unhappy with the direction of the discussion, and without allowing others to chime in, Damiens then quickly jumps the gun and aborts to discussion, premptying Nelson's goodwill and ]. Damiens, in effect, within 24 hrs] while ]. Does this show Damines wants discussion? No. But it does show ] once he realized that there were more editors that differed with his opinion. This is called ]. With that said, I will AGF, Damiens, and assume that you are not targeting PR images. ] (]) 06:48, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

== Need help with BLP ==

Damiens, I need help with ''''']'''''. I don't specialize on polishing content nor on BLPs. I'm more of a content creator and tend to focus on organizations/institutions. I need this BLP to remain and to be as referenced and neutral as possible. This person is very important to ]. Could you please lend a hand? —] (]) 00:34, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
:Sure. I'll take a look. --] 12:08, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

Steak Escape

Hello, In an effort to change content the correct way, could you give me a few pointers on my next steps. I did create a standard account, however this will be used by one person (myself). The Steak Escape page has not been updated in forever and since taking over in my position, I wanted to bring things up to date. Let me know and I will take the proper steps in doing so. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteakEscape (talkcontribs) 19:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

You should really read Misplaced Pages:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. It may be the case that it's not a good idea that you edit that article at all. --damiens.rf 19:54, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Interesting, I would think wiki would want current and correct information to be posted on their pages. Is the purpose of the wiki to have user driven content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteakEscape (talkcontribs) 20:16, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Should I send information to you to post or is this something that should be generated by random users? Thanks, — Preceding unsigned comment added by SteakEscape (talkcontribs) 14:04, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
You can add information by yourself, and "random users" are just as entitled to do so.
Some information, even if real and uptodate, may be unwelcome in Misplaced Pages. Item #5 of WP:NOTPROMOTION says "Advertising, marketing or public relations. Information about companies and products must be written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery.". Keep that in mind when editing the article about your company. --damiens.rf 14:20, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Will Do, thanks for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.124.240.199 (talk) 1:01 pm, Today (UTC−2)

Nice catch, thank you again!

Photo on Yara Arts Group page

HI Damiens We actually have the right from all of our photographers to use the photos they take of our shows on our wiki, website, and all printed and digital marketing material. Most of them are actually members of our company and several are even on our board. Please do not delete the material but rather let us know what to do step by step.

Hi there Damiens

I saw that you had contributed to the discussion on this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/File:UNESCO_IJD_TMIJ.jpg

Thanks for your input! I am still new to this site, so I apologize in advance for my ignorance on the whole process. When I uploaded this image, I had originally thought that it would be appropriate because it showed which organizations partnered to create the celebrated date. I did not mean for it to be decorative and promotional as much as I meant it to be informative in a visual way.

Perhaps you think that I should try to remove this image and move it onto the International Jazz Day page? (Found here:https://en.wikipedia.org/International_Jazz_Day) So it is more relevant to the article it appears in?

Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this whole process is still relatively new to me and is a bit overwhelming at times.

Thanks

Also, what do you think of the permissions that I put up on this image: https://en.wikipedia.org/File:Saxophone_Man_by_Billy_Dee_Williams.jpg

Is this the right way to display (C) info or am I still missing something? Barrett Kinsella (talk) 17:41, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
