Castle Oliver/mygodfrey

Hi, the reason for the various cameras is that I owned Castle Oliver until 2006. 2 of the cameras were mine at the time, 1 was my wife's, then some pics were taken by friends visiting who gave us many, many shots. I can't possibly remember who took every shot! I have subsequently visited the castle several times between 2006 and now and continue to take photos. None that I've used on wikipedia are taken from any other source, eg web, collections, libraries, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mygodfrey (talk • contribs) 08:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Michael Goodliffe portrait

You deleted the picture of Michael Goodliffe which I orginally uploaded and entered into his page on Wikipedia. This is a picture of my father. It is a photo commissioned and paid for by me with the consent of the estate of the artist. I have now restored it and should be grateful if you would leave it there please.

Charles Whitman Page - Connelly Image removal

I take issue with your removal the Connelly.jpg on the Whitman page. As Wildhartlivie noted on the idf page, it was never notified as being up for deletion, so no one knew. Do you just willy nilly according to your interpretations and dismiss input from other Wikipedians? I'll re-post the image again - this time if you have an issue, place the proper notification, or you will be reported to the appropriate committee! Victor9876 (talk) 06:21, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Re image uploads by User:Manutdglory

Multiple album covers

Have you tried {{subst:dnfcc|3a=yes|8=yes}}? It might be a good first attempt before moving to IFD if it's unsuccessful. Stifle (talk) 11:14, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for that -I think it will prove most useful. I decided to run the first few batches through IfD to gauge the reception as AWB tells me there are over 5K to look at. I'll probably bang a script together (perhaps mod twinkle for me) to make this all a bit smoother. Thanks again - Peripitus (Talk) 11:25, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

IFD batches

Looks like the FFDs aren't going very well. I'm trying to post detailed, individual refutations of Grk1011's cookie-cutter posts where possible. This could become quite a big issue. For future nominations, it might be better not to do so many at once. Stifle (talk) 10:29, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Yes, it has stirred up a bit of opposition and I think some space between them would be good. It will be interesting to see how someone deals with this as the closures popup on my watchlist. I've tried your more passive suggestion - only 3 out of 30 contested so less feathers ruffled - and may try again in a few days. Sometimes I think we need a Wikipedia specific dictionary

WikiProject opposition

Just to let you know that some opposition has been raised against your nominations (and my unrelated nominations) here, with the usual calls for desysopping. I think the best bet would be to discuss this with the WikiProject to get some kind of codified rule about not including alternate album covers unless there is meaningful discussion of them. J Milburn (talk) 21:42, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Consultation

Glad to hear you're open and reasonable, and accept the desirability of wider consultation.

In the meantime, as a reflection of that openness and reasonableness, can I suggest that until the results of that consultation are known, it would be appropriate to:

• remove the "under the radar" {{dnfcc}}s on images that have been nominated solely for being alternate covers. CSD is supposed to be used for non-controversial deletions -- not extremely controversial ones.
• reinstate recently deleted images where you have closed IfDs solely on the basis that they were alternate covers.
• withdraw the slew of current IfDs.

We should find where the lines are, before we start deleting things.

(And the test, remember, is whether they significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, not whether there is discussion of them. As I've noted in your IfD debate, we explictly recognise, as item #1 under "acceptable images" in WP:NFC, that it is possible for album cover art to pass that test even without any discussion of the art) Jheald (talk) 23:58, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

self made image question

Hi Peripitus, I have a questions about copyright status of political party flags and logos. I found this image in Commons and I am unsure if correct copyright tag is used.

Replaceable fair use Image:Trooper Mark Donaldson 2009.jpg

I have to admit to being a bit confused about this, my understanding is that as this image is provided by the Australian defence department as part of the a media release a claim of fair use can be made. Indeed the following is from their website:

Bona fide news media organisations only may republish and archive photographs and other material from the Defence web site for reporting news free of charge and without seeking further authorisation from the Commonwealth, subject to the following conditions:

1.Commonwealth copyright and Department of Defence origin must be appropriately acknowledged with status at least equal to other credits;
2.Users may not purport to license or assign copyright to other parties; and may not charge customers for its intellectual content; although they may charge for their production, research and retrieval, and distribution components of republishing;
3.Material from this web site must not be used in advertising, displays, other web sites, or in any public or mass media context other than reporting news, without specific written authorisation from the Commonwealth Copyright Administration; and

4.The Commonwealth reserves all other rights.

In your post you say that a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information - I fail to see how either of these assertions are correct. For a start as a currently serving member of the SASR it would be illegal for a media organisation to release images other than those approved by the Department of Defence, whilst secondly neither I, nor I imagine anybody else on Wikipedia, are in a position to chase this bloke down and ask him for a happy snap.

Of course feel free to delete if you wish - alternatively you could actually suggest how we might use this image (which clearly has historical signifance), with out violating copyright. Anotherclown (talk) 09:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Image deletion

Thanks for clarifying the copyright issue, I was under the impression an image published on a public facebook page by the owner had an open copyright (not true).

Peripitus Regarding copywrite issues of File:Index 017.jpg. I took the picture.

Picture removal of Miami Beach High

Why did you delete those images? I collaborate at my school with taking school pictures. The reason for different cameras is that other students use cameras and we have to cycle through all of them so i get a different camera for each occasion. In some of those cases, i had others take a picture with their camera, i don't see why having different camera is reason for deleting images that are license from me. Yes, they are also on a website that being the school which therefore are uploaded by our picture taking, we were sources of initial picture.

Just so you know because you dont go to my school or are associated with it, our photography club took those pictures for that website you claim, they wanted a few pictures for show on construction drawings and it doesn't give you the right to chase down all of those pictures because of your personal claim.

I repeat "mr. image remover", we all took those pictures, I GO TO THE SCHOOL. I CURRENTLY ATTEND IT. YOUR JUDGEMENT OF TELLING ME THAT DIFFERENT CAMERAS IS REASON FOR DELETION IS BOGUS, as i said before, we cycle cameras at our school and have asked others to take pictures with their cameras to feed back to me. I dont know about you but Im going to upload those pictures again because thery are ours. Capece?

as for the Marlins ones those are whatever i didnt take those pictures.

Picture Removal of MBSH PT2

Okay, heres the load down Peripitus. The AOHT one i got from website so i admit to that one. Now the pictures of MBSH were taken by assignment of our photography club and various parts of our school, we were told those pictures needed to be of the new areas of school so that a construction group could have them, there are a few of which they took (night ones). Now, the others which include our principal, football team, navy squad, were taken by other students but i asked them to feed me the pictures or whatever they had so that I could upload them to the site which they agreed to do. Just because it looks professional, well its because we had to mount them on tripod and use a expensive camera. I would greatly apperciate if the pictures be restored, i have worked the hardest on restoring this page than any other on wikipedia. Thanks.

Head counting

I'm sorry but your closing rationale at Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2009_January_28#GeorgeBushwithTateFamily.jpg was completly based on head counting. There's nothing on those "arguments" that exaplain why do we need to see that (notable) old-woman-on-a-wheelchair besides Senior Bush to understand the articles using that image. You should never use votes for establishing WP:NFCC#8 compliance. (Am I being an insensitive clod in referring her as the old-woman-on-a-wheelchair? Yes, but so should be anyone willing to apply WP:NFCC#8). --Damiens.rf 16:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

It's nice to have someone accuse me of headcounting on the keep side - more often than not the disputes over my Ifd closures are that I deleted it when there were more on the keep side. I took on board the pertinent comments from the two participants other than yourself:

• It is an important event in the life of Doris Tate, as the most significant form of recognition she received for her work as a victim's right crusader. (Noted by Rossrs in reference to the image rationale)

• The event was also part of a documentary, which is also covered in the article. These circumstances are well covered in the article and this image is used to illustrate that

Here both people are saying that the event being depicted is significant and, from the language used, that the image is also significant for that understanding. The event is noted in the article (for Doris at least) and without refuting argument from anyone I have to take heed that two people have stated that the image is significant and why. With the (admittedly small) supporting text in the article I can't see how I can close it other than keep. Both participants addressed your deletion reason and stated, in what I read as a reasonable way, why it meets the specified criteria. Had anyone come in to refute their assertions it may have been closed differently. - Peripitus (Talk) 01:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

"from the language used, that the image is also significant for that understanding" - I completely fail to notice that on the language used.

"Had anyone come in to refute their assertions it may have been closed differently." - So, you agree it's all about head counting? --Damiens.rf 01:51, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

That is a baseless assertion putting words into my mouth. I do not close any discussion based on a headcount (see this example) and you are twisting things to assert I have. It is a discussion. You asserted the image failed NFCC#8 and two others refuted this in a way that I saw a relevant. Had others re-refuted their discussions we may have ended up as delete but it is never a head count - Peripitus (Talk) 02:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I must be missing something here. What on their "arguments" is a refutation of "Fails WP:NFCC#8"? That is, what exactly they said that you interpreted as an assertion that the image "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic"? From my reading, they just said the old woman was famous and that the event that made her famous was covered in the article. Nothing about how this image is essential for the understanding of the article. --Damiens.rf 13:22, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

I clearly am not going to convince you I was correct here - you are welcome to take it to WP:DRV if you want - Peripitus (Talk) 02:50, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't like to open a drv based on "bad decision" just to have you to pop in and explain your reasons. Wouldn't you like to take the opportunity here now? (Of course you don't have to. I'm not a court. I just want to avoid to take it beyond where it belongs.) --Damiens.rf 03:52, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

That doesn't make any sense. If you're confident that the image should have been deleted, bring it up at deletion review and see if your claims hold up. And if I might add this as a user who primarily wanders around the Wiki as an observer...I see your request that visitors to your talk page "stay cool." That's indeed a reasonable request especially since you seem to get engaged in a lot of wars over deleting content. Nobody likes to see something they've posted get deleted. However, when many different people come to your talk page and are obviously irritated, it is time to consider that it might not just be their problem. Your attitude might be a contributing factor. Needlessly sarcastic edit summaries, for example, instantly set the tone of the discussion as a negative one. It reminds me of a time in high school when a student complained to a teacher that somebody attacked him completely out of the blue. Knowing the complaining student rather well, the teacher looked right back at him and said "no way, I refuse to believe you didn't done something to deserve it." 141.214.17.17 (talk) 22:25, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

I really still wanted to hear from you about that, Peripitus. --Damiens.rf 12:58, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

For reverting your edits to {{afd2}}. Creating a new template for use with the "must stay open..." after a relist following DRV for closing too quickly may be right, but somethings ought to be closed early. We have a hoax article that people were afraid to close early (myself included), so the hoax continues for 4 more days. But as I said, thanks for reverting. :-) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 00:10, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I understand the problem and actually sympathize to a decent extent, but a goodly percentage of items at AfD are just a hair's breadth beyond speedy land and the grief and drama that we get for an incorrect speedy, even if the article is so bad that it could never survive AfD, leads many admins to dump closer calls into AfD where after two days with unanimous delete sentiment a WP:SNOW close is probably just fine. Example, CSD G3 for hoaxes, as you suggest. I agree, but such things have been overturned at DRV because the hoax is not so obvious that we need to take to Afd for confirmation. An article about Joe Blow that claims notability as the 58th president of the United States - good G3, an article about a non-existent newly unearthed fossil or some non-existent battle in an obscure war takes lots more eyes (in the opinions of the DRV regulars) to decide "hoax". Thanks again. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Ccaj1995 (talk · contribs) is almost certainly a sock of CarloHi (talk · contribs), who was blocked by you, from his editing pattern alone: started editing the day after CarloHi was blocked, has an interest in Sequim, Washington and Jordin Sparks, and uploads copyright-violating pictures for those. I can open an SPI case if you don't block him right away, but could you have a look at the deleted uploads from CarloHi? I'm fairly certain that the exact image Ccaj1995 uploaded for Jordin Sparks was uploaded by CarloHi before.

Thank you.

I thank you for your advice and your cronstructive crtiticism to my uploads. I will take your advice and halt my uploads until I have completley understood the uploading policies. But the main question I have is how do I get a ordinary picture I find on the internet on to here? According to my readings, the Non-free media seems to be the best solution but it looks like it is not. And speaking of Non-free media, what exactly is Non-free media? What are the requirements to be classified as it? And also, if you find an image online and if you modify it, is that considered to be your own work? These are my big questions that continuouslly stumbles me. I appreciate your help and guidance. Thank you. (Dominick1283 (talk) 15:58, 16 February 2009 (UTC))

Re:Files for Deletion

Hello. I do not see how File:ŌtaniYoshitsuguKessen.jpg could be replaced by free methods or fits the second criterion for non-free content. Please enlighten me in why it would.

You are doing quite a good job of patrolling files, by the way! -BlueCaper (talk) 22:18, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Bluecaper, my argument for NFCC#1 is that he was alive until 1600 and there are either contemporary drawings of him or all images are simply made up. As a made up image it is no more or less relevant than any other possible freely created image of him. I can see what seems to be a statue of him - if correct a photo of this would do. Either the copyrighted image is based on a historical one or it is made up and thus of no more value than any other current image of a samurai of the same era. as for NFCC#2 - the non-free image is one that was created for commercial purposes and the copyright holder has the right to control copies. By hosting it here, not for discussion of the image itself but for decoration of an article on the image's subject, we are replacing their commercial right to control the image. This usage falls under the unacceptable usage points # 7, 8 and a number of other ones - Peripitus (Talk) 22:57, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

But it is not just a drawing; it is an official poster from the video game Kessen. It is something of popular fiction. Many Wikipedia pages about historical persona in popular fiction have these kinds of pictures in the appropriate section. It describes him in Kessen, not just a regular portrait of him. Also, it is not of commercial purposes; people are not required to pay for these.

Besides, that statue is of Sanada Yukimura, not Ōtani Yoshitsugu.-BlueCaper (talk) 01:51, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Surely it is a commercial image created by Koei and either owned by them or Electronic arts. The fact that they don't sell this image does not remove its commercial nature. Advertising/promotional images are covered by the same copyright, and commercial considerations, as the object they are promoting. - see Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Unacceptable_use images section. As for the statue, the internet led me astray - Peripitus (Talk) 02:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

It is neither an advertisement nor a promotional image. It is just an image related to the game. It is owned by Koei and EA, but it is used non-commercially. -BlueCaper (talk) 02:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Possible sock

Hi, You had earlier deleted several copyvio images uploaded by Light48 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) and blocked the user for 48 hours. I think the user is back as sock Solar20 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) and has resumed repeating same form of edits and uploading. See for example File:Skyline of Shimla City.jpg versus deleted image File:Shimla City.jpg, which are copied from [11]. Let me know if you prefer that I report this to checkuser or ANI instead. Abecedare (talk) 01:29, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick response. By the way, wouldn't it be standard to block the sock account indefinitely, and apply the escalating blocks to the main account; else it simply allows the user to split their editing history to avoid scrutiny ? Either way, I hope the user got the message that discussion, rather than socking, is the way to go. Abecedare (talk) 02:16, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

No problem. The hope, as always, is that the user reforms and further admin action is simply not needed. I'll let you know if I spot any recurrence. Cheers. Abecedare (talk) 03:00, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Fort Glanville

Just thought I'd say - very impressed re: your work on Fort Glanville Conservation Park. Had you been working on that for a while before I created the stub? It's got to be a GA candidate now. Is there a wiki collaboration of some sort regarding conservation parks and the like? I'd like to help out.--Yeti Hunter (talk) 00:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I started in late Jan after you created the stub. I liked my lead image and really wanted a longer article to go with it. As for GA I still have a few things I want to sort out (finish the top-down map, make the profile map showing the construction of the fort. Fixup ref45 which is missing information, some mos issues etc.) though some of these (the maps) are not required for GA. Not really a wiki collaboration for this though WP:Adelaide and WP:Australian History do cover this one. Someday I'd love to work with you on Marble Hill - if only I could find enough good written sources ! Local history and conservation parks are hard to source outside of sketchy web links and government management plans - Peripitus (Talk) 02:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Marble Hill, I've been to the SLSA and found quite a few good articles in the microfiche newspapers (one from the opening in December 1879 is particularly informative - describing the parliamentarian's reactions and outbursts as well as the building and the drive up). I'm also reading Lady Tennyson's diaries, which are a fascinating insight into life at MH (they would only be borderline RS though - self published). A good proportion of the information since 1955 is unfortunately in primary sources and therefore OR (though there are a few self published booklets or webpages).--Yeti Hunter (talk) 03:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Olivia and Natalia Forge a Friendship Possible Deletion

So the article is about two women as a couple on a television show. The storyline summary provides a written account, but by it's very nature, television is supposed to visually convey information. So, I would like a television picture from the show in each section. The storyline section in which the above described screenshot is found describes these two women having tough times and the two women being there for each other as friends. Though the screenshot is of the faces of the two women, it is a different type of screenshot which contrasts with the first photograph. In the first photogragh, they are both looking away into the distance and smiling. In this screenshot, they are not smiling. Olivia has a concentrated look on her face which conveys great concern for her friend. Natalia is visibly upset. There are different emotions being conveyed by these women in this screenshot and it contrasts with the first photograph. It also shows a specific moment from the storyline summary. Would a differnt description tag, one that ties in with the storyline, help with the fair use rationale?

The other screenshot in question I accept as needing to be deleted. I have another one that conveys a more pointed moment.

There are websites (like www.bohol.ph) where they have syndicated my columns credited my name for taking the photos. Please let me know if scanned or enhanced photos are not allowed to be uploaded at Wikipedia even though I took the pictures. By the way, the photo danlim.jpg was deleted though I took the picture.

Thank you, but your comment is highly inappropriate as insistent, POV-motivated massive blanking cannot be allowed, and you did not mention that in both cases my edits were in response to hyperaggressive editors intent on removing text, or, in fact, blanking entire articles (into which no administrator intervened). Our content is precious and pleading on "Discussion" for an editor to stop continually reverting was not efficacious in these instances. The solution is not to block one of WP's most productive, long-time, and sincere contributors, one who really cares about our project, without actually having the wherewithal to put a stop to the original behavior that elicits such a response. Badagnani (talk) 15:43, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to intervene here, but Badagnani, you are not assuming good faith here, and you do not participate in these so called "discussions" anyway. If a user wants to make a bold edit, let them be, and stop your constant lecturing. This unneeded edit warring on numerous other articles is getting tiresome. And again, follow WP:CIVIL. Regardless of what you claim, you are still violating 3RR and continuing to edit war. I do not consider that very "productive and sincere". Eugene2x-^talk 17:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, but WP:STALK is to be avoided. Certainly User:Eugene2x has the same problem the above editor has: a refusal to discuss collegially with fellow editors at "Discussion" before blanking huge areas of text in a given article. There's a very simple remedy for this, however: actually discuss in a thoughtful, deliberate, and considered manner at "Discussion" before removing huge areas of text from an article. We must be reasonable in everything we do at Wikipedia. Badagnani (talk) 18:26, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Badagnani, read WP:AGF, WP:BOLD, WP:OWN, and WP:CIVIL. Avoid words with negative connotations like being "hyperaggressive" and "blanking" when discussing with editors. Until you learn to stop frustrating other editors, stop violating policies, and assume good faith, I will regard you as nothing more than a nuisance. Eugene2x►^talk 22:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Marble Hill, again

Hi Peripitus. Need outside comment on another Mifren edit war. Something about a native title claim that he has put on Marble Hill (it's referenced to his facebook page and a pay-for-a-press-release website). This one is a whole lot more clear cut than the last one, but I suspect he's more personally involved in the issue this time. The constant low-level abuse is a little tiring, too. --Yeti Hunter (talk) 00:39, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

What I again find fascinating is how inaccurate YH can be in writing, "Something about a native title claim that he has put on Marble Hill". Where and how is such an amazingly inaccurate claim, jumping to a conclusion like that by YH tolerated by wikieditors? Also instead of personalising things YH by being suspecious, as I've previously indicated, you can see for yourself that Marble Hill has Crown Land and all that is within the 2000 Registered Kaurna Native Title Claim including MH and more recently Glenside are subject to the Kaurna Native Title Management Committee Agenda.

Hi Peripitus I note that you have made no further comment on YH's erroneous concern/s about a native title claim on Crown Land including Marble Hill Registered by Kaurna nine years ago and somehow leapt to the amazing conclusion that I had. What actually governs wikiEditors abuse of logic and assumptive erroneous conclusions they may jump to and then projecting that back onto contributions by others? Like YH, I find the whole abuse of wiki due process a little tiring, too. What is your current perspective as I note you have not contributed again to actually help address the underlying errors in YH's logic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mifren (talk • contribs) 16:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Please respond to: Where is the proof of the "clear consensus"? What was there on the Marble Hill Article Discussion page has been removed.

Also we really are only in a position to speak for ourselves and thus again there is no proof to the claim that "Those same three editors believe that the reference given for the more specific 2009 "claim" or "bill" or "sovereignty declaration" or whatever it is (ie, Mr Rossi's speech and Mifren's facebook page) is unreliable.'Again I repeat the questions, "Also that Consensus is no longer visible thus no longer clear on the Marble Hill Article Discussion page thus what is the basis for not restoring? Will perhaps meeting with FOI & Kaurna documentation will actually help "love to collaboratively complete the article"?'Mifren (talk) 01:00, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Wbbc.png

OK...just noticed this was deleted. First off, no notice was given to me about its deletion. Second, just because there is a "newer logo" "used in the article" does not mean the image should be deleted as there are hundreds of other pages that have older logos on them. I request this image be brought back, replaced on the page and if you want to have a discussion about it...discuss. Don't go all willy-nilly and delete things without telling the uploader. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 00:23, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

User:Orangemonster2k1 was my old user name. I dropped it after having issues with another user and moved to this one....but I still follow all the images that I uploaded under that previous name. Either way though, I would like to have another crack at the IfD discussion because I added under the image "Logo used from the early 2000s to April 2009", so the image was used for a little under 9 years. Many other radio station pages have like images on the page, so the precedent is there for them to be used and all the images have the correct FURs as well. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 00:39, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Machine slides

Hi Peripitus - I'm a little confused as to why you deleted the Machine slides page. I'm the one who wrote the copy for the original info page at IQS Directory, and I posted it with IQS' permission because I saw that there was a gap in Wiki's information (i.e. there was no copyright infringement, which is the reason that was given for its deletion). Following the same criteria, I also posted XY tables, which has been tagged with several suggestions on how to improve the article. The action taken on XY tables seems much more reasonable to me. Why wasn't this same action taken on Machine slides instead of outright deletion? I've read all Wiki's guidelines, and I don't see why Machine slides couldn't simply be tagged for improvement. Am I missing something? Thank you - Industman (talk) 18:06, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

O.K. I edited File:Hannah Montana 2 RockstarEdition.jpg and all the other media to what I think is what you meant. Is it correct?--Ipodnano05 (talk) 16:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The images might not be the primary, but they are quintessetial to the article. The 3rd image is the cover of the Rockstar Edition CD, which is the second release of the soundtrack. The fourth and fifth represent the Artist Karaoke Series albums that were released, both of these include songs from the CD and would probably not meet the notability guidelines to withold an article of their own, so it is better for these to be merged into the original and primary album. I think these images ARE needed and DO meet the criteria of being associated with the work. They have to remain in the article. --Ipodnano05 (talk) 22:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Paparazzimusicvideo2.jpg

a. Minimal usage. Multiple items of non-free content are not used if one item can convey equivalent significant information.

Both images are different, showing completely different sides of the video, so how one image could be equivalent to the other? Sparks Fly 17:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Different images will always be....well....different; and that difference is, of itself, insufficient justification for additional images. What is the usual interpretation, and mine and others in this case, or "equivalent significant information" is that all significant information that an image conveys to a reader can be covered by the existing image. None of the keep arguments showed how having this additional image conveyed such significant image. What a failure of NFCC#3a usually means is that the additional image adds little or nothing to reader's understanding and certainly does not add significant additional understanding of the article's topic - Peripitus (Talk) 06:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, the music video has nearly eight minutes of length, I know that is not a good reason to add new images, but it's certainly sure that one image can not convey all the meaning of this topic – in this case, the music video.
I still did not understand your point; the image deleted portrays the artist lying in a pool blood which is the climax of the video – I think that you are saying that it does not add significant additional understanding of the article's topic, is that right? Sparks Fly 16:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I have some concerns with this unblocking, given that it is the second time the user has been blocked for creating the same offensive redirect. Following the first block (where he claimed not to have made the redirect), he should have been well aware that it was not appropriate - and yet he did it again. He's also been making a fair number of problematic page moves, despite warnings, and as such I find the claims that led to the unblock somewhat suspect. Just my two cents. --Ckatz^chat_spy 08:11, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your reply:

"I see this unblock as either acknowledging a now valuable editor turning over a new leaf and positively contributing to the site..."

I could understand if he had made a significant change in his approach - but there was little or no change following the first block, several other problems requiring warnings, and again we have to remember that he has repeated the exact same action that led to the first block less than two weeks ago. --Ckatz^chat_spy 08:38, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

I guess what the user is trying to express is that he took the photographs at the Puerto Rico Department of State's first and only public exhibition of the state-owned portraits of Puerto Rico's First Ladies. During the opening of the exhibition, the Secretary of State invited the public and the press to photograph and disseminate the portraits since, once the exhibition ran its course, they would be returned to a part of La Fortaleza that is not open to the public. Thus, they are free images. Perhaps User:Rumpelstinkin should record this fact in the file he created of each of these free-use images of publicly-owned portraits.

Marble Hill - "Welcome to Country"

Internal links to Kaurna and Peramangk were and probably from past revert experiences will be removed recently on the basis of "Welcome to Country" not being wiki policy. I've reverted on the basis that a discussion could be had without a simplistic one line cryptic reason. As you have some awareness and perhaps insight and did not remove these links previously I'm curious to learn your consensus perspective.

On another angle Kaurna are rallying on SA Parliament House Steps 1-3pm Monday June 29 for the 130 year back rent bill 90 day payment due from March 29 when the original was given to our SA Governor & he followed Vice-Regal Protocol and gave it to our Government of the day.

SD decline

Hey mate,

I'm writing in reference to the article New English School (Jordan) which you declined to delete. It might not be obvious at first, but almost all of the content there was written by me; besides my current account Aua and occasional editing without logging in, I have also edited with this account AuaGood and this account AuaAua1. Not sockpuppetting since I don't believe I have ever used those accounts simultaneously, and have no access to the latter two since I lost the password way back in time (in fact that was the reason to start new accounts, I kept forgetting the password to the previous one).

In any case, you will notice all of the good current content was added by me, even the very pictures (all of them) were added by yours truly. Please have it deleted.

Cheers mate!

Λuα ^{(Operibus anteire)} 19:40, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Please do not speedy delete (or regular delete, for that matter)

I stumbled across the page for the New English School in Jordan yesterday and have been working to tidy it up. I do not understand, but user Aua seems to have some sort of burning desire to have it deleted. Please see my comments on the talk page for that article. Yesterday the page was (almost) totally blanked, tantamount to a deletion without discussion. The user only uses as a justification for removal that he/she created the page, though this justification is only meant to be used in very narrow circumstances--a much higher standard of justification would be required for the blanking of this particular article. There are definitely some citations lacking in the article, but none likely to be challenged as controversial enough to be summarily removed (by anyone other than Aua). I have removed quite a bit of the unencyclopedic text and claims, and, I will admit, I have added even more "citation-needed" (and "clarification") tags, but nothing in this article is as egregious as to be pulled without a chance. Yesterday, I added eleven references (there were zero to start with), from reputable sources, including Cambridge, and some other outside sources, inluding the European Council of International Schools. This article has been discussed for deletion once (though it definitely wasn't speedy, which is completely inappropriate in this circumstance), and the decision was a unanimous keep by seven out of seven editors. I really want this article to be acceptable to user Aua, but I don't know who to ask to help me tidy it up so that it can be up to Aua's standards. I'm sure the best resources for referencing this article are off-internet print sources, but I don't have access to these. The thing that stumps me even more is Aua's response to me on the talk page, where he claims both he wrote the whole article and thus he can justify its deletion, and he is deleting it because it isn't verifiable. This seems oddly contradictory. If he wrote the majority of the article, as he claims, he either made stuff up or got it from some source (though probably not internet-based).

Wow, I've discovered a few gems. Like user Aua's removal of a table [[17]] with the justification "someone wanted to promote the school with false ad" (the included claimed awards which I was easily able to source, fairly reputably: Cambridge University). The amusing key here, however, is Aua added that whole table [[18]] about a year before. I might just give up on this one, because on deeper inspection it is patently obvious something weird is going on with user Aua and this article.

Image licence migration

Why are all of the licences for images on wikipedia being changed?

Is there a good reason for this?, or am I just being cynical when I think that this change in the image licencing is just being used as an excuse to purge wikipedia of images that the administrators don't like, and also being used as a power trip to show that they are in charge?

Please can you resond to my usertalk page as soon as possible. Dreamweaverjack (talk) 00:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

P.S. this isn't meant as a personal attack on you, more a generalisation of the fact that so many images are now diplaying licencing issues on their pages by wikipedia adminstrators over the last week or so. Dreamweaverjack (talk) 00:49, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Please read the article Wikipedia:Image license migration if you are unsure about this, I found the link on the user page of the administrator User:Drilnoth under the heading "What am I doing?". It says "I control User:DrilBot to do various tasks, such as Checking Wikipedia and updating files in accordance with the image license migration."

Does this clear things up, and now do you see where I am coming from with my confusion over the image licencing issues. One administrator is telling me one thing, and another is telling me something different. Please respond - Dreamweaverjack (talk) 01:08, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

(from Drilnoth) No images are getting deleted because of this... the notice is just saying that they may be more easy for others to use. –Drilnoth (T • C • L) 01:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Singing Fools image copyright

Hi, I am the copyright owner of the photo, I posted it on UKScreen. I am Kevin Murphy. I am a Singing Fool and own all the rights (except performance royalties)to Singing Fools Music and "Chelseamorning2006". It is a publicity photo taken by me (with a malfunctioning shutter timer). I am a lawyer (but don't hold that against me). Please let me know if you need further authentication of this issue. Thanks.

P.S. In accordance with your previous instructions I have sent an email to info@wikipedia.com from the UKScreen.com website where this image originated confirming that I am the copyright holder and granting permission to reproduce the image. I trust this will be satisfactory.Chelseamorning2006 (talk) 18:20, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

My Images uploaded to wikipedia

Why have you just went and grouped all of the images of cars that I have uploaded onto wikipedia for deletion? Is this a personal vendetta against me due to the uploading of the image Morris Minor MM Series which I misunderstood to be my copyright due to the editing of it by me prior to uploading onto wikipedia, as most of the images that I have ever uploaded are from pictures that I own and NONE OF THEM are sourced from magazines scanned into my computer!!!

I regard this as an abuse of your position as a wikipedia administrator, who seems to think that if you don't like something, to hell with anyone else's opinion, you delete the image or article.

Please respond to my usertalk page as soon as possible!! - Dreamweaverjack (talk) 10:43, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Please try to remember that all of the images that I have ever uploaded onto wikipedia were put on the site in the spring of 2007, just months after I found out about the website when I joined Glasgow Caledonian University. This was due to the fact that we were told to look at the website as one of many possible sources of information about the topics involved in the degree that I was studying for (BSc in Networking and Computer Support).

Prior to this I hadn't heard about wikipedia, and when I discovered about the wesbite, I thoght that I could share some of the knowledge that I have with others, to help them learn about the topics that I knew information about which I thought might be useful to others, that is why I created a user profile to allow me to create these articles.

At this time I didn't realise that all uploaded images required a metadata section on them, as none of the pictures that I looked at to learn about uploading to wikipedia had one on them either, and I uploaded my images in the same way. As no-one told me about the problems with the image licences attached to my images, I didn't realise that there was anything wrong with them as they were done in the same way that the other licences were shown at the time.

Please can you respond to this at my usertalk page, thanks - Dreamweaverjack (talk) 11:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Also, why do you fully rely on the web programme Tineye, and then in the case of the Renault Clio MkI facelift image, say on the Commons:Deletion requests/File:Cliomk1 facelift.jpg page on Wikipedia Commons - "image taken from a website by enwiki uploader who has proved confused about "self made". I cannot identify the exact source but tineye shows me higher resolution versions. This appears to be a professional promotional shot" - and still put a copyright warning on it, even though the web program has proved that it is not the same image resolution or in fact the same image. You should also see that there can be more than one image of a car, which will look very similar, but in fact be from a different source, as in this case!! - Dreamweaverjack (talk) 13:52, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Adam Wilson (The Young and the Restless) Chris Engen image

Hello, Peripitus. Would you mind explaining why you felt the Adam Wilson Chris Engen picture is better off deleted? I am not seeing how J Milburn's argument beats out the majority of votes and valid reasoning for the image to be kept. In fact, I really am not seeing how his argument, seeing as he was the main one arguing for deletion, was/is stronger than ours (the ones arguing against the deletion). How would having two images of fictional character Adam Wilson in both of his adult physical incarnations, for example, be that different than showing the different physical incarnations for Jabba the Hutt (which are also all fair-use images)? The 30-images scenario does not "fly" with me. As I stated there, I highly doubt that all 30 actors would be notable/significant enough as the character to all be displayed. And even if that were the case, we would not list all 30...but rather go by the most well-known in the role (which would be limited to two at most in regards to fair-use rationale).

Images uploaded by User:Dreamweaverjack on wikipedia

Why are you automatically presuming that due to the fact that I made a mistake with one image that I uploaded to en.wikpedia.org, that I am suddenly some corrupt user who steals photgraphs that are copywritten by other people.

Is it not ironic that wikipedia is trying to (supposedly) remove images of copyright violation, that the orgainistaion that runs it are trying to fight a legal challenge by the UK National Portrait Gallery due to the fact that they are will known artworks.

In the UK it is seen as theft, yet in the US it seems to be all right to do this due to the fact that the pictures are on display in an art gallery in an other country.

Why are you not hounding that user for copyright violation but are harrassing me due to the fact that I misunderstood the image copyright issue for ONE uploaded image. - Dreamweaverjack (talk) 11:03, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Protection on "Brianna Stewart" page?

Can we put a protection on the page? Some IP address (who I believe is probably the same person) is continually posting that they think that the movie "Orphan" is based off of BS's life or used as an influence. Now they posted a link to IMDB where someone posted their hypothesis that the movie is based off of BS. I'm guessing that the same person who has been putting in the bit is also the same person who posted the theory on the IMDB page. Can we protect this for a while so this person won't be able to keep vandalizing the page with their unsourced claims? Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Tokyogirl79

I also looked up the episodes that were claimed to be related to the BS case. Neither has anything that even remotely comes close to the BS case. This person either is very delusional about what qualifies as "inspired by" or they are trolling the page. (Sorry if I sound angry, but I've had to alter that page a few times because they keep changing it back to suit their opinions.) Hopefully you can put a protection on the page until that person's interest has waned? Tokyogirl79 (talk) 11:18, 25 July 2009 (UTC)Tokyogirl79

Can you do something about the BS page? There's an edit war brewing between me & this other guy on there & now there's a user who is claiming that the IMDB trivia page is a verifiable source when I KNOW that the info wasn't on there previously. (I'd bet money that the person who added in the info added in the trivia on IMDB so they could post their info on the site.) Even with the IMDB link the information is still hypothetical.

slight update on BS page edits

I tried to be nice about it & left it as a "possibly inspired by" as a way of making peace, although I know that theory isn't really supposed to be up on Wikipedia. I also wanted to make you aware of one thing- I'm 99.9% sure that the user (Emlodik) is the one who posted the trivia up on the IMDB page. He's a user on the page itself & was actually the first person to post anything about the Brianna Stewart/Orphan comparisons on the IMDB page. I think he made the post on IMDB because he wanted to claim it as a verified source to prove that he was right. To date, there is nothing else on the web to back up his claim on that nor on either of the two episodes that he claims is also based on this person. I don't want it to seem like I'm turning it into a peeing contest, but I just dislike that I'm having to compromise with this because some guy thinks that his opinion is enough to warrant a change to an article & is posting his opinion on other sites & claiming them as a verified source. It just irritates me. Tokyogirl79 (talk) 08:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Tokyogirl79

Hi, a file you deleted as a copyvio was reuploaded: Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 January 6#Danja.jpg. I nominated it for deletion and found the user had uploaded a lot of stuff from the same tainted flickr account that is full of copyrighted material. I made a list but I don't know how to list this properly in a single request (unlike on Commons), can you look over these:

I don't see why you'd find such a thing amusing, nor why you think my question might've been rhetorical (or even "retorical", as you put it).

ROL3 and FOL3

Hello Peripitus. Could I get you to have a second look at ROL3Cast.jpg and FOL3Cast.jpg? It seems as though there was some disagreement over interpretation of the word significant in NFCC #8. I was not aware of any guidelines in this regard when it comes to low resolution full cast photos. I am aware of guidelines when it comes to individual photos of living individuals. I thought I would see if you could take a second look before considering doing something more formal, e.g., a review. Thanks in advance for your consideration, and best regards, Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 23:20, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

I responded on my talk page. By the way, I believe that this particular case may have been tainted due to history between the nominator and the uploader. The uploader has now been blocked by the nominator. I probably would have asked another admin to do the blocking, but that's me. In any event, I am mostly worried about a precedent being set without a clear community consensus. Thanks. Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 17:35, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

If you need one with a higher ppi ration, I have one. The credit line should read Bachrach. Best wishes, Emily".

Magazine Covers and Modeling for Krystal Meyers

I read this and it leaves it up to your interpretation so you can basically remove any image you want and there is nothing anyone but God can do about it.

"Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding."

All I can do is recommend this: You need to leave two of these in there. I am getting married to Krystal Meyers so if you remove them I will put them on her site and link to it from the words in the article. I feel they add to the article. I will compromise with you now if you wish and I will leave File:AERA-ENGLISH-with Krystal-Meyers-2.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Uniqlo-with-Krystal-Meyers.jpg because it makes a better article. I have already made these changes.

I'd also like this one left available for later use: File:AREA-ENGLISH-with-Krystal-Meyers.jpg I will talk to Krystal and see if she would rather have it than File:AERA-ENGLISH-with Krystal-Meyers-2.jpg on her page.

If Krystal and I get permission from the copyright holders can we include that when we upload the next time and keep the images online and free from deletion?? I am sure it's just an email away to get that.

Thanks that is very helpful. I let Krystal know. And, thanks for the congrats. We are getting married this Wednesday; then off to Honolulu.

Actually, the image you deleted was as you said is from the source: http://www.jkcivildefence.org/newsletters/images_06feb/igp_jammu.jpg but was originally captured by my team for this organization. The website does not talk about its copyright status either, so what I request is, that if someone objects then go ahead and delete it. As for now, I can probably upload it as my own work if you allow. *Truth* (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:16, 1 December 2009 (UTC).

Image copyvios from User:Psamtik 1

Hello. Just saw/edit conflicted with your note to Psamtik 1 (talk · contribs · logs) and wanted to let you know that I have already started deleting any of his images that have watermarks and/or obviously invalid licenses. Depending on his response to either of our messages, I suspect that we may need to delete everything he has uploaded. Your thoughts? — Kralizec! (talk) 21:53, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Having just gone through deleting all the obvious image copyvios and tagging the rest, it may be worth noting that quite a few of the images had been previously uploaded (using the exact same license verbage) by Ramsso (talk · contribs · logs) and/or Ahmad Soliman (talk · contribs · logs). Also, not that there was much doubt, but the proof of duplicity from Psamtik is in the images themselves; in File:Giza 7.jpg he states "I (Marwa Morgan) created this work entirely by myself," while in File:Port Said 29.jpg he claims to be "Waleed Montaser" and in File:Shobra Kheima 1.jpg he is "Alaa Awaad." — Kralizec!

A second-chance offer has been put on the table [22]. What he does with it is up to him, but regardless I will be putting his favourite articles on my watchlist so that I can closely monitor what is going on. Since I only deleted those images that were unambiguous copyright violations, more than a hundred of his uploads are currently winding their way through the {{di-no permission}}, {{db-unksource}}, and {{puf}} process. Should we let them go that route, or delete the images now ourselves since there is little doubt that they were all uploaded improperly?

Full-discosure #1: While I have helped with a few image copyvio issues in the past, Wikipedia image law is not exactly my forte. As such, I would gladly defer to your more experienced wisdom on the issue.

Full-disclosure #2: I deleted so many freaking images last night that my mouse-clicking finger hurts today. As such, the prospect of deleting another hundred images has my finger twitching in fear.

As always, thank you for your time and assistance. — Kralizec! (talk) 16:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

The editor is indefinitely blocked now, and all of his uploads are deleted. Thanks for the Special:Nuke pointer ... it was scary to use! — Kralizec! (talk) 01:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I completely missed that! I'll work on it right away. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Resbusha (talk • contribs) 02:31, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deleted image

Hi Peripitus. Whrn you have a second, could you please explain what the deal is/was with this image? It's use on Albert S. Ruddy would seem to be a clear-cut NFCC instance to me, so I'm slightly confused as to the reasons for it being speedily deleted is all.

why are you in Lebland so often, are you in the UNIFIL ??? Eli+ 20:29, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

so you're Leblandese? well the eshmun temple is not so impressive especially when its covered by a thick coat of vegetation, nevertheless i felt mesmerized by the site, it had a magical aspect i had never experienced anywhere else... its a weird place, very desolate yet very poweful Eli+ 20:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
