Misplaced Pages

Freqently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why have you reduced the size of my file? A: In accordance with Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria 3(b): An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low, rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate, is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). If you believe I have made an error in reducing the image, please let me know. If there was no error is the lowering in the resolution, please keep the image reduced and keep it tagged until an administrator has deleted the larger versions of the image.
Q: Why have you tagged my file as {{di-bad fair use}} 10(c)? A: I have tagged it as in violation of Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria 10(c): The name of each article (a link to each article is also recommended) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use. Meaning, provide a fair use rationale on the file description page, every time you use it on a different article. Otherwise it does not meet criteria for inclusion and it can be nominated for deletion.
Q: Why have you removed my image from an article because of 10(c)? A: The file does not have a fair use rationale on the file description page for why it is on that article. If you add a rationale, you are free to use the image on the article once again.
Q: Why have you tagged my file as {{di-bad fair use}} 10(a)? A: I have tagged it as in violation of Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria 10(a): Identification of the source of the material, supplemented, where possible, with information about the artist, publisher and copyright holder; this is to help determine the material's potential market value. A source for where the image was taken from needs to be specified, otherwise it will be marked for deletion.
Q: Why have you added {{deletable image-caption}} to an article? A: This is to notify users that the image next to the caption is a candidate for speedy deletion in a number of days due to problems specified on the image description page.
Q: Couldn't you just fix this image problem yourself? A: While I tag and re-sizing images, I do keep a look-out for things I can fix, rather than tag it for fixing. There is somewhere near 340,000 non-free images on Misplaced Pages, so I can't do this alone.
Q: Are you an administrator? A: No, I am not an administrator here. I can not protect or delete pages, move over redirects, or block users. For a full list of privileges I have, and projects where I have them, see this page. Also, if you offer to nominate me for adminiship, I will probably decline. I have had a few nominations in the past, the last being in 2006. If I ever run again, it will be a long time from now.

SITCIOT

I changed it to redirect to Click It or Ticket, I'll admit I'm not totally confident if this redirect is needed/related or not. So feel free to revert.--Andeh 15:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, #2 will be fine. Good thinking.--Andeh 16:11, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Doc's "please refrain from editting Tony's page" comment

M.E. -
Doc knows he can tell it to me straight. While I would like to be able to communicate with Tony, if Mr. Glasgow reckons I'm just making it worse, I believe him. Thanks for the thought though!

Objectivity

Search for this term still redirects to "Accuracy and precision". Why is that? Search for "Objectivity" should go to its disambiguation page, and "Accuracy and precision" should perhaps be placed on that page. Amerindianarts 00:25, 9 October 2006 (UTC) Sorry to bother. It appears the search function needs awhile to refresh. Amerindianarts 00:29, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:RM

Your listing at WP:RM was improperly formatted. I'm assuming that it was a noncontroversial proposal, but it was listed in the controversial section with the wrong template and no discussion set up on the article's talk page. —Mets501 (talk) 01:53, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it! See you around! —Mets501 (talk) 02:02, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

No, WP:RM has only had a noncontroversial section since yesterday or the day before :-) —Mets501 (talk) 02:03, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Let me know if you need anything else, or if you need help downloading the tool (it should work on most computers.) Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 21:48, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. --Rettetast 23:30, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my page! I barely saw it before it was gone!  :-) Confiteordeo 20:23, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

RuthieK and page redirection

Sounds like exactly what needed to be done. My only concern would be whether or not that redirect should exist at all, or whether it would be considered 'pov' itself. --InShaneee 20:25, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Apparently, "arab" refers to speakers of Arabic, meaning this user is trying to make this about ethnicity. I'd nuke it, to be safe. --InShaneee 20:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Consider it nuke'd. :) --InShaneee 21:07, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Reverting at WWE roster page

I added a post on the talk page about it, see that before reverting it back. This problem needs a compromise. Snitsky is known as Gene Snitsky AND Snitsky, same goes for Mr. Kennedy/Ken Kennedy. RobJ1981 22:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, how can we compromise though? We've tried compromising on Kennedy and TJ Spyke insists on changing it back despite WWE.com's references to him as Ken. For the same reason, I felt it should be Gene Snitsky, but it's just an edit war. And I really don't like it, but I'm trying to help make this page accurate. DaHumorist 18:53, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:LA

The TOC is great. Any updating between active and semi-active is a waste of time, people go back and forth often and the Steve Block update will wipe out any changes anyway. Inactive is different, changes for people who have completely stopped editing or have returned is worth doing. But I think you just want to make my life difficult updating User:NoSeptember/List of Administrators ;). NoSeptember 06:53, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

re: Album covers

There's really no discussion to be had, or rather the discussion has already been had. Misplaced Pages has established policy regarding decorative use of fair use images, which is what I removed in the articles being discussed. Revert their removal again, and you will be the one contravening policy. By the way, thanks ever so much for the personal attack in calling me a "nuisance"; I really appreciate it. --keepsleeping slack off! 19:42, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

User:MarkS/Extra edit buttons/dev2.js

Thanks for letting me know about this. This came about because I wanted the page deleted. However, you can't add the deletion request template to a javascript page so I actually moved the page to a 'dev2' (without the .js at the end). As far as I know the dev2 page has been deleted. However, I forgot that the system would automatically create a redirect page so I'm still stuck with the original page which I don't know how to delete. Any ideas? --MarkS (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

agreement!

Yep...frogs raining from the sky, cats sleeping with dogs...I hope there's no bad feelings. Rx StrangeLove 20:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm back

Hi moe epsilon. China just lifted its ban on Misplaced Pages. I saw your post on my talk page. I'm happy that people actually noticed ;-)

You may not remember me anymore, but,

Regards, Exir Kamalabadi 08:17, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

I saw your reply. Misplaced Pages has changed a lot. Radiant is back, Essjay and Redwolf24 is gone and the WikiProjects has changed a lot. PS. I don't think China will ban Misplaced Pages for long moments now, not after their ban-certain-articles policy. --Exir Kamalabadi 23:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you tell me the full story of how Redwolf24 and Essjay left? Why did Redwolf24 go? What "other thing" in real life did Essjay pursue? --Exir Kamalabadi 00:07, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
