What about the keep votes were compelling? Thanks. ÷seresin 18:29, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Nothing. If you ask me, I think it fails WP:NFCC#1 cold. Consensus however, was to keep the file, and I respect that. -FASTILY 02:56, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Well consensus, particularly at FfD, is not determined by numbers. If the delete votes are policy-backed, then they win, even if they're outnumbered. So the keeps had to be compelling in some respect to warrant a "no consensus". ÷seresin 03:30, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay then, it will be at DRV shortly. ÷seresin 18:35, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Brace for War

Hi there, new to this, not trying to advertise just state what event the fights are on, can you fix it to be complient? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pukman (talk • contribs) 23:37, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

My article about HoloTouch Technology was apparently deleted as being unduly promotional even though it simply describes specific technology, with patent references, and lacks specific product information of the sort found in any number of other articles, such as GestureTek. As I'm new to this, although I've read the policies, is there a cogent source of information which might illustrate why specific product information is permitted for some articles but even basic techical descriptions in articles without product or promotional information such as HoloTouch Technology are not?

Can you check on his contribs? There is odd stuff afoot about sockpuppet accusations and such. He just came off a block so it appears suspicious. Alatari (talk) 08:48, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Will keep an eye on the IP. Thanks for the heads-up. -FASTILY 01:46, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of File:77th Infantry Division.patch.jpg

I am confused as to how when other U.S. Army patches are allowed under

"Permission

This image is in the public domain because it contains materials that originally came from a United States Armed Forces badge or logo. As a work of the U.S. federal government, the image is in the public domain."

Would that not then apply to the shoulder patch of the 77th? If not, can you explain the difference? And can you tell me then where I need to get permission for us to use that photo here? Thank you.Degenret01 (talk) 12:00, 29 May 2010 (UTC) My primary wiki.

What is the source of the file? (i.e. where did you find it?) All material uploaded/posted to Misplaced Pages must be verifiable. -FASTILY 01:48, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

I do not know where it was originally obtained. I was not the uploader. As for verifiable, are you looking for proof that it is indeed the shoulder patch of the 77th? What would you accept as proof? Any online store selling Army insignia sells it, any search of the internet will show you many examples that this has indeed been the patch of the 77th. , , , , , . These all show that it is the patch of the 77th. As such, it fits under the same allowance of use as all U.S. military insignia patches as being in the public domain.Degenret01 (talk) 04:04, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

That will do just fine. File restored. -FASTILY 06:01, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Was there a reason you deleted the Misplaced Pages page for this file? It is a featured picture, and the page is used to indicate so, as described in the notice at the top of the page when editing: . Jujutacular  07:25, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Is it now? My mistake. Page restored. -FASTILY 17:00, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Jujutacular  17:20, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry. But I don't quite understand.

Hello fastily. You have recently sent me a message reguarding if I am still aiming to become an administrator. I do, however I do not understand what you are asking. Please do not delete my RfA as there are merely two comments on me - both negative - and I would like others to rate it. Thanks --_MICHAELIPF5_SUMAN 00:20, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Your RfA has not been transcluded yet, meaning, it has not officially been submitted for review. Those two votes you have were made prematurely. If you like, I can submit your RfA for you, but please bear in mind that you risk the possibility of failure. Do you still wish to continue? -FASTILY 01:10, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I would like to continue. I thought that all I had to do was submit the message where I had already sent it. Could you please move - or transclude - it to the correct location for assessment (if you don't wish to do so, please tell me how to do this myself) Send me a link so I can answer any questions needed if you DO move it. Thanks --_MICHAELIPF5_SUMAN 09:05, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Alright then, I've transcluded the page. You can see it at Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship#Ipfreely555 2. -FASTILY 18:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Files for deletion/2010 May 23#File:Norton-RichardArthur 1958 1966b.jpg

Hi, Fastily. I see you closed this as "no consensus"—however, I do think that there is an issue there that needs sorting out, and would observe that WP:FFD states, "Files that have been listed here for more than 7 days are eligible for deletion if there is no clear consensus in favour of keeping them."

However, if you are not planning to delete it on that basis, I must take the issue further, because it needs resolution rather than indecision. I'd be interested to hear your advice as to whether I relist the file, or take your closure to DRV? (Nothing personal, but there must be a conclusion to the matter!) Best, ╟─TreasuryTag►inspectorate─╢ 08:40, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Fastily, please could you respond to this ASAP, because it needs to be acted upon. Thanks. ╟─TreasuryTag►most serene─╢ 17:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi TreasuryTag. I agree with you that the file, despite being a photo of Mr. Norton, is likely a copvio or file with questionable copyright status. When closing the discussion, I felt that there was no consensus whatsoever (especially since most !votes were choppy and w/o argument) to keep or delete the file. Feel free to relist. -FASTILY 18:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks; I'll do that. ╟─TreasuryTag►quaestor─╢ 18:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, could you please explain what was said in this IFD discussion that allows us to completely disregard criteria 2 of the fair use policy for this particular image?--Vaypertrail (talk) 13:12, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

The image met "criteria 2" – as almost everybody pointed out. Nobody would decide not to bother buying the game just because they'd seen that tiny image, so the manufacturer lost no income. ╟─TreasuryTag►person of reasonable firmness─╢ 13:17, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Eulogy Recordings and Ferret Music

Hi, I'd like to have the Eulogy Recordings and Ferret Music pages restored. I don't know what the articles looked like, but the subjects are long-running rock music labels. I can remove promotional material from the articles if need be, but at the very least a list of artists signed to the labesl is critical. Chubbles (talk) 17:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Certainly. Would it be alright with you if I were to restore them to your userspace? -FASTILY 18:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine, I'll dump out any promotional puff and move them back over. Chubbles (talk) 18:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

 Done at User:Chubbles/Eulogy Recordings and User:Chubbles/Ferret Music. Sorry for any inconvenience. -FASTILY 18:26, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Apple logos

Could you restore File:Apple Computer Logo.svg so I could verify something? I want to make certain I got something right when I transfered it to commons. Could you also restore File:Apple logo Motter Tektura.png so I can properly tag it as {{PD-US-no notice}} and {{Trademark}} so I can then transfer it to commons to preserve the attribution path for File:Apple logo Motter Tektura.svg (which is now properly tagged)? --Tothwolf (talk) 22:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
