image resizing
Hi, I understand your frustration and I'm sorry to see you leaving over the issue. For a long time Misplaced Pages had a higher tolerance for fair use images and as a result there are many. A lot of them violate fair use laws and prevent us from being a truly "free" encyclopedia. As a result, there has been a crackdown as of late and it has driven a lot of users away. However, it must be done and there are reasons for sizing the images down, etc. There are also many sources of free images but some articles (like articles about movies) will never have free images. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 15:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:
I'm sorry about those threats. I was upset at them and I did not mean no harm. This rule about resizing got me so upset that I wanted to put every single photo of mine uploaded up for deletion. If you ban me I hope it's for 1 or 2 days because I did not ever have a problem with wikipedia until now. What should I do, stop editing or stop coming here. I never had to quit editing here, Never. Please give me one or two days to think it over. Thank You.
Decline reason:
those comments were utterly unacceptable. Dark Falls did the correct thing - fair use pictures must be low resolution. If you do not like this, then perhaps you should not upload pictures. Reuploading the pictures and trying to get Dark Falls desysopped for simplying applying rules was also out of order. However, indefinitely blocking you for your first offence seems harsh. I've reduced the block to a week from now - please take this time to consider your future editing here on Misplaced Pages. When you come back, I strongly suggest you think about what you said, and whether you would like others to speak to you in the same way, or to be civil. — Neil ム 09:45, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- I'm ok with the block shortening :) -- lucasbfr 05:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
- I have no choice but when I am unblocked, I will have to get rid of all my uploaded photos and quit uploading photos of pictures that I took unless it is a picture of me or something I have been to. I found out that the rule has been on there for the entire life of wikipedia. I only did high res pics for information and not for piracy. If you think I have did piracy, I'm sorry. I will not threating anymore administrators and will have to do uploaded photos from amazon.com or other sites that have low res photos. I'm sorry. Bye.--Stco23 07:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
