It was more my mistake than anything. I needed to substaciate sources I just did not have the time to do it. Will you please restore it and I will make the nessesary changes. Also the article is leaning a litle too much in favor of the actress I intend to change that so that the article returns to the required neutral view, or i can start all over too. Please just let me know, thanks?

I had mentioned reasons why the page should not be deleted. On the talk page have not received any concern about the article but you decided to delete the article. Happy to learn if missing something but so far created the article as per the prescribed guidelines ensuring usage of neautral language , no promotional / marketing mentions , cited in line references from globally respected news sources (which was filtered down as there are numerous mention about the Subject via - News , article , discussion boards , websites etc) . For indian automobile industry the subject have created historical milestones by introducing the global concept for the very first time. 'll be eager to understand your view points to enable post of this article.

Yishan Wong article deletion

Yishan Wong was just named the CEO of Reddit.

He is significant enough to warrant a Misplaced Pages page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.51.141.244 (talk) 06:24, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Image deletion which were self created

hello,

I created an article "Elixir Technologies Corporation" in which i uploaded a few images that were my own creation (graphics), but they got deleted. The licensing and copyright information was also provided but it said the images had copyright violation. Kindly tell me which licensing or copyright tags i need to put in for my own work as well as software screenshots.

Also there was a logo too of the company which i uploaded under the license Creative Commons 3.0 and copyright tags of Registered and Copyrighted. What exactly was the problem in that?

Kindly help and reply asap.

You'll need to email permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an email address associated with your company so we can verify who you are. You'll need to tell us (in absolute confidence) who you are, that you are happy to release the images under the chosen license, that you understand the implications of that, and the names of the images. You'll receive further instructions by email if there's a problem. Note that the process is currently backlogged, and so it might take a few days for your email to be answered.

File:Dead Man Walking (Body of Proof).jpg

Hi, I can see that you just deleted the image above. However, the deletion weas opposed, with their being no comments to sipport the deletion. Misplaced Pages:Files for deletion/2012 February 26#File:Dead Man Walking (Body of Proof).jpg. The image had a good rationale, and licensing. And for a fact I know is that it served a purpose in the article. Now, I can see it was a mistake, so could you undo it please? MayhemMario 16:04, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Can you clarify why this was deleted? Just stating "violation of F7" didn't help much. --Wikiwatcher1 (talk) 00:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

In the future, please be sure to add fair use rationale for EACH usage/link of a non-free image in an article. Failure to do so is a textbook violation of Misplaced Pages non-free content criterion #10c and may result in the deletion of the file in question. -FASTILY 00:26, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Your marching orders

Excuse me, but why was Fenwick and West deleted? Restore it now - this is uncalled for. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.81.131 (talkcontribs)

  • Allow me: it was deleted almost three months ago because it was a copyright violation. Someone thought it was OK to copy content from the company's website into an encyclopedic article. It could have been deleted as spam as well. Drmies (talk) 02:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
  • Though I don't like the tone of the OP's request, this is what the article in question looked like before User:Hpatsch spammed it up back in 2007. I'm not sure whether or not it should be restored though. In any case there is nothing to bar a neutral editor from writing a sourced article. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:06, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox

You recently deleted Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox under CSD G6, presumably in response to a {{db-g6}} tag added by User:Mootros. Unfortunately, the deletion was not as uncontroversial as Mootros believed, as they did not have consensus to make such major changes to the service award templates, and their changes have broken things. Furthermore, Mootros had copied the content of Template:Lord High Gom Togneme Userbox to another template, Template:Gom Userbox. Deleting the original template lost the attribution for that content. I realise that you weren't to know this, but I felt you should know what's going on.

I have submitted the templates to the Misplaced Pages:Cut and paste move repair holding pen to have their histories merged. Since, as I understand things, the administrator who merges the history will be able to see the deleted content, I don't think you need to restore the deleted template. If you know how to merge page histories, your help would be greatly appreciated.

I am still tracing through Mootros's edits to find and fix all the damage; I expect to find more examples of similar problems. (Actually, right now I'm going to bed. I'll continue with this tomorrow.) If you deleted any other templates yesterday because of a tag added by Mootros, you might want to double check those deletions. Thank you. – PartTimeGnome (talk | contribs) 03:19, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Multimedia University

Hello,

It has come to my attention that you deleted Multimedia University back in January as a copyright violation. The page actually has a very long history, including a good article nomination, and should have never been deleted this way. Any infringing text (if indeed there is any - its being looked into now) was clearly a later addition.

I'm sure you were probably just in a hurry and made a mistake that day, as I can't imagine you'd be that careless normally. As such, this is just a friendly reminder to be careful with the delete button. It took nearly two months for someone to notice the error on this fairly high profile article. A similar error on a less well-known (but notable) subject might never be corrected since deletions are rarely reviewed.

Elaine Shemilt page

Dear Fastily

I have removed the sections that were paraphrased from another source, and inserted detailed references with sources? What remains from the website is a few career elements. Everything else now written in my own words except where referenced.

best — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve6212353 (talkcontribs) 12:11, 11 March 2012 (UTC)


Dear Fastily

I have now updated the page (off line) on Elaine Shemilt which was deleted. I have deleted much of the info which came from her website and found other sources which are referenced accordingly. I realise that there is still more to do and add, but before I do this I wanted to check that I am on the right lines?

I have pasted the offline version below:

Extended content

Elaine Shemilt is an artist and researcher, especially known as a fine art printmaker. Her work ranges across a wide variety of media. However hers is not a conventional approach to the medium. According to the art historian and theorist Alan Woods: "Her work ranges across a wide variety of media. Initially it focused on installation, the various printmaking media were used in an attempt to continue and develop the installations by other means. If the event is inevitably lost , a new artwork is launched from it, and as themes and subjects occur and re-occur, their re-generation might usefully be imagined as located within an extended family of images."

She is a graduate of Winchester School of Art and the Royal College of Art and has exhibited internationally including Switzerland, Denmark, Holland, Canada, USA, Australia, Italy and Germany including the Hayward and the Institute of Contemporary Art, London; and the Edinburgh Festival. She established the Printmaking Department of the School of Fine Art, Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design (University of Dundee) in 1988 and was Course Director of Printmaking from 1988 -2001. She is currently Professor of Fine Art Printmaking and a Professional member of Society of Scottish Artists and was its President from March 2007-2010. Elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 2000 and of the Royal Geographical Society in 2009. In 2002 she was made a Shackleton Scholar and awarded a Carnegie Scholarship. She is a Trustee of the South Georgia Heritage Trust which was established to promote the environmental protection and habitat restoration of this natural wilderness in the Southern Atlantic.

In 1998 she was invited to lead a project to improve the environment of the military base on the Falkland Isles by the the then Commander, Brigadier David Nichols. The experiences of the staff and student team she put together led inevitably, to independent artworks by all. Four years later in 2002 this led to the exhibition, "Traces of Conflict, The Falklands Revisited 1982-2002" at the Imperial War Museum. Shemilt's work in this exhibition was inspired by the abandoned field hospital at Ajax Bay, and according to the Imperial War Museum Keeper Angela Weight Shemilt " was gripped by the aura of a place where the writ of war did not run and young men were tended irrespective of whether they were friend or foe."

An important strand of her work involves collaboration between Art and Science. Her work with the Genome Diagram developed by Dr Ian Toth and Dr Leighton Pritchard at the Scottish Crop Research Institute resulted in a portfolio of work including installations, digital animation, prints and music.

She has also collaborated with the video artist Stephen Partridge on a number of installations, including "Rush" first exhibited at the Fieldgate Gallery , London and the most recent, "Quattro Minuti di Mezzogiorno", a HiDefinition Video installation. Exhibited in Fuoriluogo 15 - Una Regressione Motivata, Limiti Inchiusi Arte Contemporanea, Campobasso, Molise, Italy. December 2010, January 2011. The exhibition included work by Fausto Colavecchia (IT), Douglas Gordon (GB), and was curated by Deirdre MacKenna, Director of Stills - Scotland’s centre for photography in Edinburgh.

complied with permissions process, but wikimedia does not acknowledge

Dear Fastily... I'm writing you concerning: "05:52, 15 February 2012 Fastily (talk | contribs) deleted page File:G semantics1946model.png (Misplaced Pages:Files for deletion/2012 February 7#File:G semantics1946model.png - until adequate permissions are secured for the image)" As I think is evident to anyone who has looked closely at this item (see, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2012_February_7#File:G_semantics1946model.png ), I am a conscientious editor trying to comply with all standards. I am assured by Martin Levinson, president of the entity that "owns" this image, that he has submitted within the last 10 days the consent form to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. This is in compliance with the instruction you supplied: "F11 This file was missing evidence of permission. It was unclear whether the copyright holder had given permission for the file to be used on Misplaced Pages under a given license. If you are the copyright holder of this file, send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, in which you identify yourself as the copyright holder of this file and select a Misplaced Pages-compatible free license to irrevocably release the file under. If you are not the copyright holder, but are in contact with the copyright holder, have them send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, in which they identify themselves as the copyright holder of the file and release the file under a Misplaced Pages-compatible free license. For more detailed instructions on how to do this, refer to Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission."

Dr. Levinson's emailed submission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org read in part, "To: Misplaced Pages Permissions Email Response Team

On behalf of the Institute of General Semantics ( http://www.generalsemantics.org ), hereinafter referred to as "IGS"

I hereby affirm that IGS is sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the Alfred Korzybski "silent and verbal levels" diagram, also sometimes referred to as the "process of abstracting from an electro-colloidal non-Aristotelian point of view" diagram (seen in the attachment).

Dr. Levinson told me yesterday he has had no reply. I then sent a follow-up email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and also have no reply. This is why I am coming back to you. Your deletion of the file assured us that the deletion was "until adequate permissions are secured." I request your help. Canhelp (talk) 14:46, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

Hiller Flying Platform

Hey Fastily, would you mind a quick explanation for deleting File:HillerFlyingPlatform.jpg per Misplaced Pages:Possibly unfree files/2012 February 29#File:HillerFlyingPlatform.jpg? The nominee's rationale was rather questionable to me, since the only unfree component, the dummy, seems like it would fall into the de minimis category given that only the head and hands are visible. — Huntster (t @ c) 19:17, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

Before I answer that question, could you please answer a question for me? What is the museum's policy on reusing/licensing photos of exhibits? -FASTILY 07:42, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Don't know, and cannot find any relevant information on the Hiller Museum website. Perhaps this should have been asked of the uploader, User:RadioFan, or at least raised in general before simply deleting it. Given that the nomination was challenged at PUF and an issue raised, this should not have been deleted without further input or discussion, per existing processing instructions. — Huntster (t @ c) 08:59, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
Then the deletion was fully justified. The purpose and scope of PUF is to ascertain the copyright status of media files. If this cannot be done in certainty, the discussion defaults to delete, irrespective of the number keep !votes. Bear in mind that the vast majority of museums copyright their exhibits and thereby effectively place their displays under the category of Non-free 3D works of art. While yes, it is true that this particular exhibit was composed of utilitarian objects, it is not the objects themselves that are subject to copyright, but rather the unique and 'artful' manner in which they are arranged. To put this in perspective, consider a sculpture that is composed solely of pieces of scrap metal. While yes, the pieces of metal are utilitarian objects (i.e. trash), the sculpture is still under copyright due to the sculptor having arranged these pieces of metal to create the final display. That said, I will not be restoring this file unless you, or some other editor can provide concrete evidence that User:RadioFan is entitled to publish this photo under the terms of the CC-BY-SA-3.0 license. Until then, this photo is at best, a derivative work missing evidence of permission. -FASTILY 06:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

I happened to notice that you deleted the aforementioned article due to vandalism. This is rather unfortunate, as it denotes a legitimate political system/form of government, and thus deserves a Misplaced Pages article about it. I wish to recreate the page, and have it protected again vandalism. It is essential that there be an article about the subject; as it is a notable political topic and is listed as a form of government on the government article. --UkrainianAmerican (talk) 00:50, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Am I right that three mistakes weere made here? (1) at the time the image was nominated as "orphaned fair use", it was actually in use, (2) when it was deleted it was still in use and (3) a bot then removed the link to the file from University of West Florida. Apart from human errors, to me it seems unfortunate that if a file is deleted as "unused" links to it should then be removed by a bot. Thincat (talk) 10:45, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Request for deletion review

Fastily,

You recently closed a deletion discussion of several bookcover photos which I uploaded.

You deleted the photos although every one of them was accompanied by newspaper articles, direct quotes to those news articles, and
in-line citations to those news articles. This critical commentary existed for each and every photo. As such, all of these photos met the WP:NFC#UUI "critical commentary" standard.

I pointed this fact out repeatedly in the discussion. Also, if you look at the article where these photos were placed, you will see exactly what I mean.

Each and every photo correlated to extensive critical commentary, from sources such as The New York Times, Washington Post, Publishers Weekly, Time Magazine, the Chicago Tribune, the San Francisco Chronicle, Library Journal...the list goes on and on.

Could you review this matter when you get a chance, and re-consider the deletion? I would greatly appreciate it, and thank you for your time. Below is the list of photos.

Nelsondenis248 (talk) 06:14, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

Fastily's deletion summary for all of them reads "textbook violation of WP:NFCC" and that's exactly what it looks like: photos of lots of books in a list of books, which is identical to WP:NFC#UUI §2 on discographies. --Stefan2 (talk) 14:30, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
