The Sopranos non free use rationale
Hello, could you be so kind to tell me how can I change the non free use rationale for The Sopranos picture in order to use it in Italian American article? I wonder how - just because the picture already has another non free use rationale regarding a different article. I think that the latter could be suitable also for using it in the Italian American article, cause the rationale is pretty much the same: provide a visual description of the subject, even if this case I would like to show the elements of Italian American stereotyping. In addiction, I would like to exploit your knowledge asking the same question about Mario Puzo's The Godfather book cover that you removed. Best regards. --Conte di Cavour (talk) 11:18, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Neither image is really needed and would thus fail WP:NFCC#8 ΔT 11:20, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
re: User talk:J Greb#File:Star Sapphire power ring.jpg 2nd pass
Thank you for the templating about an image that does have a complete FUR.
If you feel the FUR falls short, please discuss it on the article's talk page in line with WP:BRD or nominate the file through MfD.
Please do not resort to deletion through orphaning at this point as that can be seen as disruptive.
Thanks.

- The problem is that your image did not have a FUR for "Star Sapphire (comics)", it had one for "Star Sapphire" (a disamb. page). I've fixed that for you, but the rationale has to include the exact article name for use. --MASEM (t) 14:58, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Ah. Thanks. I though I had copied the full article title over after Beetstra's run. Sorry about that. - J Greb (talk) 15:08, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Your wanton removal of images
Hello, though i understand why you are removing images from pages, you might want to tell users (such as myself) how to create a rational for an individual page since the policy is relatively new. I myself have no idea how to do it, ive never been asked to before. You should also be careful in removing images and double check them before you remove them. One that i reverted already had a pre-1923 public domain tag on it, and several others were obvioisly published before 1923 (several german world war 1 images).XavierGreen (talk) 22:17, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
- Just a few points, I do tell users how to fix the issues, Ive got a link to a guide to writing rationales and a FAQ both linked in the edit summary and a fairly detailed edit notice. Second, This policy is not new, its been around for at least 4 years (probably longer). Third every image I remove is in Category:All non-free media which classifies it as non-free. If it is tagged under a free license please ensure that it does not have a non-free rationale, because most of those templates classify the file as non-free and will lead to it being removed again.

- The one file you removed File:Corea-map.jpg, has a PD-1923 tag on it and is a free image. It shouldnt be in the category non free media in the first place.XavierGreen (talk) 01:02, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- It is tagged as non-free due to also including {{Non-free use rationale}}. Please adjust the file discription page so that that template is not used. ΔT 01:05, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Breadwinner (novel) - the image you removed
Hi - you removed the image from this article because I had forgotten the rationale - I have now included a rationale but please let me know if it is insufficient in any way. Mark 10:51, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- The rationale refers to the wrong article, so please correct it. ΔT 12:46, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Corrected - although you could just have quickly corrected it yourself. If you have any other issues please let me know. Mark 16:52, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I could have, however remember the old parable about giving a fish and teaching a man to fish. --ΔT 20:16, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Breen (Star Trek)
Is there some particular reason you cannot simply clarify what the problem is with a given image, and why instead, you simply say the same thing over and over again? Did you not see my edit summary, in which I stated that the photo has a rationale for article in question? If this is wrong on my part, why not respond to explain why? Why do you make no attempt at clear communication with image uploaders? Can't you see how this can be seen as non-collaborative, and possibly disruptive? Nightscream (talk) 20:07, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- That is where you are wrong, it does not have a rationale for where it is being used on. --ΔT 20:14, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, it does. It says "Breen (Star Trek)" where it says "article". Do you not see this? Again, if this is wrong, why can you not explain how it's wrong? Why do you refuse to communicate clearly in discussion.
- As for your edit warring accusation, edit warring does not refer to good-faith reversions of unambiguous policy violations, such as content deletion without a valid rationale by a user who refuses to communicate with others, a point J Greb himself has made.
- Can you please clarify so that we can work together to make sure the image has the right rationale? Nightscream (talk) 20:46, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- As Masem states below at the time of my removal the file did not have a valid rationale, which is why it was removed. Not sure how much clearer my edit summary can be, it clearly stated the reason for removal. As for edit warring it does cover your actions, Three reverts without fixing the problem is edit warring, it may not be blockable, but it is edit warring (good faith or bad faith, I make no assumptions either way).

- At the time that Delta had removed and reremoved the image, the image file did not say "Breen (Star Trek)" . SOmeone, after Delta's removal, your revert, and his rerevert, fixed the image to make it say "Breen (Star Trek)" correctly. So Delta did what was correct at the time. --MASEM (t) 21:09, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Can you please clarify so that we can work together to make sure the image has the right rationale? Nightscream (talk) 20:46, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- That's why all this happened? Because the wikilink was wrong? Why couldn't he just say that? Why do others have respond for him? Because a wikilink was outdated due to a page move, he has the gall to accuse others of 3RR violations? I'm reporting this at 3RR. Nightscream (talk) 21:26, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- Go right head, NFCC enforcement is exempt from 3RR. At the time the rationale was for a different article than where the file was being used. Thus it had no rationale for the article where it was being used. If needed We can take this to AN/3RR and prove it with another {{trout}} being handed to you. ΔT 21:29, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
3RR requires that the user in question discuss the matter with others. You refused to do so. Even now you only chimed in to make an uncivil comment, but refused up until to explain what was wrong with the rationale, when you very well could have. How can I "fix the problem" if I don't know where it is, and if you refuse to tell me? It's obvious that you just wanted to sit back and watch the image get deleted so that you can have the self-righteous satisfaction of someone else's work being deleted, when you could have made a genuine, good-faith effort to fix yourself, or at least work with me by telling me what the problem was. Nightscream (talk) 21:34, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
- I provided two links explaining the problem in my edit summary and provide details in my edit notice, if you refuse to read the information that I give you do I need to make it in XXXXL font, red and blinking so that you see it? because its fairly clear in all three places.
