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?

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)

 Done. Please let me know when you're finished with them. -FASTILY 18:43, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Done with both of those, thanks. You can also delete File:Apple first logo.png as I'm done with that one as well. --Tothwolf (talk) 22:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

A request to check (back)

Hi there,

I've created a referenced historical map. When asking for an oppinion, I was advised by an other admin to refer to you :). Can you have a look at it ? Thanks Aregakn (talk) 20:57, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind, my friend, I sent Aregakn here :). See user talk:HJ Mitchell#Could you please check?. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:01, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

ehh HJ... now, when you wrote it, Fastily will surely understand, that it is required to "mind" :) Aregakn (talk) 21:10, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll have a look at it. Will get back to you shortly on that. Best, FASTILY 06:58, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Just reverting the bot archiving of my pending request. Aregakn (talk) 23:07, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about that. Bot archived it before I had a chance to review the file. I'm afraid that this image cannot be used on Misplaced Pages. The external link you provide as the source specifically notes that the map image cannot be used for commercial purposes:

Per WP:IUP, files whose copyright places restrictions on commercial use/derivatives, or restricts use to educational use only are subject to on-sight deletion per speedy deletion criterion F3. Alas, I am sorry to inform you that I have deleted your file in compliance with Misplaced Pages's image use policy. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let me know. Kind regards, FASTILY 18:48, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Deletion: FRIENDSHIP-Framework

Dear Fastily,

yesterday we posted an article about the software FRIENDSHIP-Framework that you deleted. Of course we are aware that beeing from the developing company ourselves the accusation of advertisement seems natural. On the other hand we tried to stick to the facts and refrain from unambiguos content. The fact that we didn't use any reference yet was simply owed to the missing time. Wen ment to post references, but the deletion was just to fast to be able to do that.

We would like to post this article again in a revised form. Since this was our very first article in Misplaced Pages, we kindly ask for your suggestions how to improve it, respectively make it compliant to Misplaced Pages's rules.

Best regards, FriendshipSystems --FriendshipSystems (talk) 15:51, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Uno bus route SHTL

I would like to know why the page has been deleted. It is a notable bus route as the main link between the two university campuses, and on average Uno's most frequent route at 5-6 mins during daytime termtime. How notable must a bus route be before it is considered 'notable' enough? --BigToe7000 (talk) 18:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

The file was deleted per the WP:PROD process. You were given a week to contest the deletion from the time of the flagging to the time of the deletion. -FASTILY 18:57, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

speedy deletion

Hi Fastily. A page I was working on in my user account was speedily deleted and I have not been able to make any changes to a page that was written about my company. I would like to know more specifically what and how I can make changes to the DiMarzio entry and I would like to have a page that explains my background and history as well. I don't have any intentions to break the rules of wiki, I am just not familiar with them and must say that the guidelines and information on how to participate are not as clear and user friendly as I would like. Your suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LarryDiMarzio (talk • contribs) 18:55, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

File:LazerBrody.png

Regarding your decline of speedy deletion for this image, I don't understand your reasoning of "no assertion of free license". The whole rason I tagged it is that there's no assertion of license or permission. Could you enlighten me? VernoWhitney (talk) 19:32, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind, I was reading the text of {{db-imgcopyvio}} and not the actual text of CSD#F9. Sorry to bother you. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:36, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Essentially, a copyright violation does not exist until someone claims someone elses' work as their own. In the case of File:LazerBrody.png, neither attribution nor permission was claimed. For our purposes, a copyright violation exists only when an editor claims copyrighted/non-free work as their own, posting it to Misplaced Pages under a free license. It's a common misconception to assume that any file found online and posted to Misplaced Pages is immediately a copyvio. Hope that helps to clarify things. -FASTILY 19:37, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Ehh, all good. No worries. -FASTILY 19:38, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate your extra explanation. I'm used to working with text copyright violations where posting automatically claims free license/fair use, and so I guess I got carried away with tagging the image to go along with a copyvio article. I'll try not to make the same mistake again. VernoWhitney (talk) 19:42, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Advice, Reinhardt College

Fastily,

It's been awhile. I hope you are well. Question: Reinhardt College, today, changed its name to Reinhardt University. I made the changes in the Reinhardt page, but don't know how to rename the article nor put in a redirect tab, eg. those searching for Reinhardt College to be sent to Reinhardt University.

Any advice?

Nevermind. ;-) I think I figured it out. Thanks. Carsonmc (talk) 20:11, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Keyed-Up Motorsports Image

Hello. I recently uploaded the logo for Keyed-Up Motorsports which you deleted. I have hardly any experience with uploading images and I was wondering if you would be willing to help me licence it correctly. I'd really appreciate your assistance because the team specifically gave me the image for the sole purpose of putting it on Misplaced Pages. Thank you for your help.--Johncoracing48 (talk) 21:01, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
