AfD, 2026 FIFA World Cup[edit]

G'Day there! I am TollHRT52, a new, well, member (I guess) of Wiki. I would like to ask why you deleted the page 2026 FIFA World Cup. Thanks. – User:TollHRT52 15:55, 30 July 2012 (AEST)

I did not delete it. I see you've only been here for a few days (welcome to Wikipedia, by the way), so I'll explain how it came about: there used to be a template indicating that a page had been deleted, but that template became obsolete so I deleted that template off the page. In fact, 2026 FIFA World Cup had already been deleted by User:Mailer diablo in 2006 in accordance with the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2026 FIFA World Cup. That said, I agree with the deletion, because Wikipedia should not have articles on things that are so far in the future that nothing meaningful can be written about them. While this event is almost certain to take place, we do not have an article on it because there is no coverage of it in the news. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:50, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I went ahead and added a description, which I'd forgotten to do before. Regards, - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 22:11, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image of Kapodistrias Airport[edit]

Thank you for the information in your edit summary. The reason I did not upload to Commons are best summed up by these horror stories. So I would like a local image to be kept here just in case. :) Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 00:57, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

{{Do not move to Commons}}[edit]

I think that you made some error here. Expiration years have always worked differently for {{Do not move to Commons}} and for {{Out of copyright in}}. In the first template, the indicated year is the last year of copyright. In the second template, the indicated year is the first year of public domain. For example, {{Do not move to Commons|expiry=2024}} means copyrighted, but {{Out of copyright in|2024}} means public domain. Try the following and see that it looks wrong:

The first one is "copyrighted" according to both templates. The second one is "copyrighted" according to the first template but "public domain" according to the second one, and after your template change, you see both "copyrighted" and "public domain" templates on file pages with that combination, which is confusing. In the third case, it is "public domain" according to both templates.

Also, it used to be possible to use either {{Do not move to Commons|expiry=2023}} or {{Do not move to Commons|1=2023}}, but the second option seems to be broken (the template just vanishes and displays nothing at all). --Stefan2 (talk) 22:19, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Non-free architectural work[edit]

Hi, I noticed you rewrote {{Non-free architectural work}}. Could you just update me, did we finally resolve that issue about how to treat foreign non-FoP situations in some authoritative way? I must have lost track of the various places where it was discussed.

If the template remains the way it is now, I'll have to modify WP:FUW accordingly. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:51, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, see Template talk:FoP-USonly#RFC: Does US FoP apply to foreign works?. In short, buildings from anywhere in the world are OK on the English Wikipedia. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:36, 23 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:PUPInterfaithChapel.jpg[edit]

I did resize and edit and the photo, and yes, I use the right phone. Oh, and here's the original and unedited version.

Thanks. I am convinced that this is from your phone. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:56, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

File:Concordelafayette.JPG[edit]

This file, like some I saw you restoring recently, is free in the US only, so can you restore the deleted version? I asked the admin who deleted the old versions, but haven't got a response. —innotata 17:40, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Done Yeah, I'm trying to restore all the pictures that have been fair use reduced due to FoP, but of course I can't find all of them. Thanks, and if you find any more, be sure to let me know. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:48, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. —innotata 19:04, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OTRS question[edit]

There's a question about File:Irina Slutsky and Randi Jayne Zuckerberg DYK crop.png at Wikipedia:OTRS_noticeboard#Is_this_ticket_valid.3F_.28III.29 which you handled. I see that the uploader added an TRS template, but did not fill it out correctly. Would you care to comment?--SPhilbrick(Talk) 17:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That was quick, thanks.--SPhilbrick(Talk) 19:33, 31 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
