Of course, what do you want me to do? But one question: why do you want to retire from Misplaced Pages? CG 08:26, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I don't understand your request. CG 15:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cool (song)

Look, as I said to you previously, I don't care that you're DrippingInk/Winnermario/Hollow Wilerding/64.123... But at the same time it's not very good for your reputation here to remove discussions that present your IP and previous usernames in a negative light whilst posing as a disinterested third party who just happened to come across an article "while browsing", and start undoing other people's edits without explanation (and with misleading edit summaries) and tinkering with its talk page in stange and contra-guideline and policy ways. This isn't just about the policies and guidelines and my own opinion on the matter, but also how other editors see you. Very many editor do not think highly of you, and you may want this to change, but you can't do that unless you stop doing the same things wrong over and over again and trying to deliberately deceive people. When you do that, it sends the impression that you don't trust other editors, and that's one of the worst things you could do because they'll stop trusting you. I don't know...I feel like I'm stepping on eggshells whenever I'm discussing things with you, there's just a lot of history and so much "drama" and deception going on with you (not all of which you can help, but a lot of it you can do but don't). If you really are leaving (and not just pretending to) then I'm honestly sorry to see you go, but if you're not then please reconsider your behaviour and attitudes. Anyway, just wanted to get that out, okay, bye. Extraordinary Machine 01:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC) I tend to agree. --MorwenofLossarnarch 21:13, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Great Bay Temple.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Great Bay Temple.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Misplaced Pages because of copyright law (see Misplaced Pages's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Misplaced Pages are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Pagrashtak 18:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Addition to standard text: I'm not sure where you got this image from, but it's not a screenshot from Majora's Mask as you indicated in the fair use rationale; that's why I struck the game-screenshot license tag. Pagrashtak 18:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

It's funny, because I had simply copied and pasted the rationale of fair use from the Termina map include in Majora's Mask. You are right, it was not the correct thing to do, but at the time I had been lazy to correctly filter the appropriate copyright status, which was certainly irresponsible. I don't have time right now, but when I come back online (which is likely going to be in about three hours), I will tidy the rationale. Please excuse this error and I hope you're not mad. —Eternal Equinox | talk 19:16, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

All right, I think I've corrected the rationale of fair use, but I am unsure of what copyright status it should be listed under. Thoughts? —Eternal Equinox | talk 21:17, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Since I have no idea where you got the image, I have no possible way of knowing the copyright status. If you are unsure of the copyright status yourself, you shouldn't have uploaded the image in the first place. Pagrashtak 21:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

An unwise idea, in my opinion. After all, Misplaced Pages is supposed to be all-around. I have a pretty good memory of where I located the image, but as long as it is not found, I don't think it has to be removed from the article until, of course, the seven-day limit expires. Next time, please respond on my talk page so that I receive the "new messages" alert. —Eternal Equinox | talk 23:23, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying; what are you referring to as an "unwise idea"? I think the image shouldn't be in the article myself, but that's another issue. So do you know the source and copyright status of the image? Pagrashtak 23:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

RE: "What You Waiting For?" image

No, I don't. (Or really know what you mean by 'location for others' :P) If you mean some uploaded pictures that were deleted, you should probably check the file history of the single's article. :) If there's nothing there, I'll be happy to upload some screens, like her in the house. :) Øřêōş 23:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you just can't take images off of a website and stick it on Misplaced Pages, whether they're owned by the RIAA or whatever. Either way, not really. Øřêōş 00:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I can make another screen if you want. Øřêōş 00:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I can only make one tonight, unfortunately- I have to go to sleep soon. I'll get to work on it pronto. Øřêōş 00:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
