Hello Graped Ape, |
|||
I would like to petition for the undeletion of the photo you removed from Christian Keiber. |
|||
The notes explain there is no credit on the photo. I know Christian Keiber and he gave me his head shot to post. |
|||
How do I credibly make it clear that it is ok to be posted? |
|||
He owns the headshot and it is not necessary to credit the photographer. |
|||
Thanks, |

DYK nomination of Article
DYK nomination of U. Grant Miller Library
Hello! Your submission of U. Grant Miller Library at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Awadewit (talk) 17:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
A friendly FYI
Just so you know, generally {{db-u1}} is only used on pages in your own userspace (for example: User:Thingg/sandbox). {{db-g7}} or {{db-author}} (both are the same template) is more generic and it is usually used if the page isn't in your userspace. In practice, it doesn't really make any difference which one you use because they all mean the same thing: ("this is my page. I don't want it any more. please delete it.") but I just wanted to let you know. A belated welcome to Wikipedia by the way! :) Thingg⊕⊗ 05:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion nomination of Category talk:Wikipedians by alma mater: Washington & Jefferson College
![blanked page](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9e/Edit-delete-2.svg/48px-Edit-delete-2.svg.png)
Hi GrapedApe, this is a message from an automated bot, regarding Category talk:Wikipedians by alma mater: Washington & Jefferson College. You blanked the page and, since you are its sole author, FrescoBot has interpreted it as a request for deletion of the page and asked administrators to satisfy the requests per speedy deletion criterion G7. Next time you want a page that you've created deleted, you can explicitly request the deletion by inserting the text {{db-author}}
. If you didn't want the page deleted, please remove the {{db-author}}
tag from the page and undo your blanking or put some content in the page. Admins are able to recover deleted pages. Please do not contact the bot operator for issues not related with bot's behaviour. To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=FrescoBot}}
somewhere on your talk page. -- FrescoBot (msg) 00:46, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Sackville House
Nice work! I visited the W&J campus a week ago, for the first time; it's definitely a nice-looking campus. Have you ever heard of a building around campus known as the "Sackville House", on E. Wheeling St.? I tried to find it, but my best guess is that it's been torn down and replaced with the new fine arts center. Nyttend (talk) 03:12, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note; however, I did notice the house that you mention. I parked farther east on Wheeling (just barely west of the Wade Ave. intersection) and walked to McMillan Hall, stopping for the Sackville House. I photographed the house that you're talking about, only to notice that it had a different number than the one given for the Sackville House. Nyttend (talk) 04:17, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- I still believe that the house is gone. Its National Register nomination form includes a map, but there's nothing specifically marked as being the house on the map on page 5. Moreover, look at the picture; I don't remember seeing this house anywhere along Wheeling, and the shadows on Google Maps' satellite view don't seem to show any such house. Errors such as Canonsburg for the administration building are quite rare; I doubt that there's such a significant error here. I'll be happy if you can show me that there really is an error, and that it's still in existence :-) Nyttend (talk) 05:05, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- It's not the only situation that a landmarked building doesn't stay in existence for long after it's designated: check out Holy Rosary Catholic Church (St. Marys, Ohio), which was listed on the National Register a full year after it was demolished. Thanks for the link to Shorty's; I'm quite impressed by the 23,000 signatures especially. Nyttend (talk) 12:05, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- I was really only concerned with buildings on the National Register, so the only other building that I photographed was McMillan Hall. I did get several pictures of that, so I suspect that they could be useful; I've just not gotten around to uploading them yet. Nyttend (talk) 03:24, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

New page patrol
Hi, since you seem to be creating a lot of new pages recently (I'm looking through the old college football seasons), you might want to consider applying to be a autoreviewer so that your pages are skipped on new page patrol. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:02, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- No thanks, but thanks for offering.--GrapedApe (talk) 19:06, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- I honestly wasn't aware of this discussion until after I gave you autoreviewer. So, here are your new duties: continue exactly as you had been doing before. "Autoreviewer" is a misnomer; it should be "autoreviewed". All it means is that you, GrapedApe, are considered someone who can be trusted to not create inappropriate pages (in all namespaces, not just articles)... and that you do it often enough that it's more efficient to just mark them all as 'approved' by default. This gets you out of my backlogs (which are typically +3 weeks long). DS (talk) 13:03, 8 June 2010 (UTC)
- Well...as long as it comes with no responsibilities and I don't have to do anything... Thanks for the confidence!--GrapedApe (talk) 04:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Review
You're welcome. I can't let these things pass me by without having a bit of a look at them! Good work, by the way. The Rambling Man (talk) 19:03, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
OK, I'll try and have a proper look later on. Immediate thoughts are that you're missing accessdates on some of the web references, you might want to think about having the tables sortable by surname and appointment date (not hugely important, probably), and that the key in the notes section might be better located earlier, so we don't have to wait to find out what the symbols mean.

Speedy deletion nomination of John Canon
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.
A tag has been placed on John Canon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 05:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Examiner
I understand the timeline. But the articles are on a site that is now blacklisted. The blacklisting doesn't exempt certain dates. It simply blacklists the site, period. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:07, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- The problem is the intermix. Baltimore Examiner, Washington Examiner, SF Examiner and Examiner.com were all under the same company and used the same url, examiner.com. Washington Examiner is still owned by them, but is a separate part of the business. At the same time, there were the same ones currently on Examiner.com writing under that URL too. So not only do you have to parse out which city, but which dates and then decide whether it was a Baltimore Examiner writer or a writer for the Baltimore edition of Examiner.com. It's not as simple as just setting a cut off date. Niteshift36 (talk) 04:29, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Greetings. I came here wondering if you could supply a source for the Date of Death for Chase Clements, as I was unaware of what SSDI was. I see from earlier conversions that SSDI is the Social Security Death Index. So, now I'm intrigued. How does one search the SSDI?--GrapedApe (talk) 16:07, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. In order to search the SSDI, you just need to go to http://ssdi.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ and fill in the information (advanced search is usually better for common names) and, while you cannot link directly to the results, you can create a convenience link by clicking on the SS-5 Letter link, which gives you this (for George Clements, anyways). Generally it's better to then use the date you find to do a Google news archive search for an obituary, but that doesn't always work (if the obituary doesn't exist or was never uploaded etc.) You might run into WP:BLP problems if you use it for someone who is still thought to be living (since it might be construed to be original research), but in this case, Clements' NFL profile lists him as deceased, so there shouldn't be a problem. Canadian Paul 22:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, thank you very much! I'm surprised that there isn't an SSDI citation template. Maybe one could be created?--GrapedApe (talk) 03:30, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- I just did some searching and, apparentely, there is one! So that should be useful in the future. Canadian Paul 15:20, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- Wow, that's almost exactly the kind of thing I was thinking of. One last question: Is there a more reliable source for the SSDI than rootsweb? Does the Social Security office publish it in an authoritative way? Or is the rootsweb version considered pretty reliable?--GrapedApe (talk) 16:54, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- I just did some searching and, apparentely, there is one! So that should be useful in the future. Canadian Paul 15:20, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- As far as I know, the SSDI is the only way to access the United States Death Master File. As far as reliability, it's just as likely to make a typo or an error as any news report, so if those are considered reliable, this should be as well. Canadian Paul 15:03, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Someone reduced the size of File:WandJseal.png and totally reversed the transparency work that you did. I'm wondering if you would kindly be able to look at File:WandJseal.png again and restore the transparency. Also could you check and see if the shrinking of the image caused any artifacts? Sorry to bother you again...--GrapedApe (talk) 21:44, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
- No bother. I re-did the downsample with the transparency intact. By the way, maybe the seal falls into the public domain due to age? For example, according to this, p. 20, the first known use of the seal is from 1902. What do you think? —Quibik (talk) 22:33, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Uniform Images
Sorry for the delay. Yes, I was the creator of the hockey uniform images, as well as the creator of the baseball uniforms and the original football uniforms (which have since been redone). What questions do you want to ask? --The Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 17:03, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- Well, yeah, I guess I am the original creator of the template. I've never thought of the templates as works themselves. I edited my original football uniform to make a hockey uniform. The images themselves are not free, due to the logos, etc, but the templates themselves are certainly open to the public. People have already been using my football and baseball templates to make more uniforms and images than my original work. If you need it to be official and all, though: I, the Silent Wind of Doom, herby release my creations, the templates for my uniform images, under CC-BY-3.0. --The Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 20:14, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Washington county historical markers
Hey GrapedApe,
Sorry that I overwrote your last edit to List of Pennsylvania state historical markers in Washington County. I had a large edit that I hadn't yet saved. All the wikilink fixes that you had made were in my edit, except that I retained the official title of each marker to display on the table. I apologize if I stepped on your toes. I really don't care if the titles stay that way, but that is how I was filling them in for the rest of the PA county marker lists. Thanks for your help. I'm done with Washington County for now, so we won't get our edits crossed further. CrazyPaco (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Washington County NRHP stubs
Could you please not create one sentence NRHP stubs. Although, I see you've finished with Washington County. If you plan on going back and expanding some of theme, I can point you to where you can get the nomination forms, which are a great source to use in an article. There is plenty of interesting information on these sites if one looks (see Hawthorne School (Canonsburg, Pennsylvania) and the Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Station (California, Pennsylvania), which I was able to expand). Niagara Don't give up the ship 16:18, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

- Hi GrapedApe. With Niagara's comment here and another's comment at Talk:National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Pennsylvania, you're running into an issue that some/many frequent NRHP article editors have opinions about. There's been some acrimony, in fact, and there's a wide spectrum of views about when starting new NRHP articles is helpful or not. One extreme could be that no article should be started if it is not Featured Article quality, immediately; the other extreme is that any start is an advance, and helpful. I and most others have viewpoints somewhere inbetween. I believe there's no Wikipedia policy reason why an article should not be started, however, and I for one look at your new articles indexed in National Register of Historic Places listings in Washington County, Pennsylvania as a contribution. I agree with Niagara and others that more in any one article is better, though, so if you can follow Niagara's advice and find your way to add NRHP nomination forms (great references for these), that would be great, though is not required by any absolute rule. There's some instructions meant to help with that posted at wp:NRHPhelp (scroll down to Pennsylvania). I'm not sure how good those instructions are, will try now to use them to further develop one or two of these Washington County articles. Anyhow, thanks for your contributions, and please consider joining the NRHP WikiProject and/or participating at its Talk page(shortcuts wp:NRHP and wt:NRHP). --doncram (talk) 18:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- P.S. Hey, i am trying to develop the Beallsville Historic District one a bit more, now, for example, using the NRHP nomination document available for it. Also, I noticed your comment about getting Pennsylvania state staff involved in correcting info about one of the NRHP entries, relative to the NRHP's NRIS system data about the place. That's great. You should know that we have an error note collection system about NRHP errors, at wp:NRIS info issues PA for Pennsylvania items. I have tried corresponding with the NRHP about fixing errors regarding other states, but I don't believe anyone has been working on getting Pennsylvania-related errors corrected. Thanks for working on that one! --doncram (talk) 20:53, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you for the notes. Frankly, I'm surprised that creating stub articles on obviously note-worthy subjects can arouse such negativity, like this rude comment. I fail to see how creating those stubs--with a reference, a full infobox, and relevant categories--can possibly be a bad thing. Featured articles don't spring fully-formed from the mind of contributors: they must start somewhere. Thanks for trying to explain what the dispute is all about, rather than just being nasty. I'll take a look at the Beallsville article. However, I'll probably steer clear of other NRHP articles, because I'd rather not be harassed by some self-appointed arbiters of protocol at the NRHP project. --GrapedApe (talk) 21:13, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Please don't be discouraged in article creation. Stub articles aren't ideal, but how many featured articles started out as stubs in the first place? I stubbed the entire National Register of Historic Places listings in Florida about 4 years ago, with basic two to three sentence stubs. I did put in a couple of extra refs in each one, though. Part of the problem with the short-short stubs is that they used to have deletion attempts made on them frequently, due to insufficient assertion of notability. Not as much of an issue now, but it is something to think about, when creating any stub. My philosophy, though, is that articles have to start somewhere, and it's easier to expand something already existing. Some of us don't have the attention span to create extensive and gloriously referenced articles. But stubs can be expanded, that's what they're for. Some of the ones I created have. I'm all about quantity. Oh, and quality too, I suppose. My two pence, for what it's worth. :) --Ebyabe (talk) 21:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I visited to try to explain the rude-type comment, which i thot would be disturbing (and i think it was meant to be). I cannot justify that behavior by another editor. To be clear, I think it is fine that you created the articles, with a reference, etc., as you say, and it is a positive contribution. I wonder, do you have connection to the Washington County area, and would you be able to take and upload pictures of any of these?
- If you might be interested, one area where I could use some similar help, and where your creating articles would be welcomed, is National Register of Historic Places listings in Fairfield County, Connecticut. I am working there on both creating new articles and also on developing them and adding NRHP nomination document references. There are about 15 remaining red-links there, and I would be very glad if you would start them, and I also believe i can assure you that others would not interfere negatively there. Others have not been bothering me there, and I would surely object strenuously if anyone did interfere negatively. Any which way, thanks again for your contributions. --doncram (talk) 15:28, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I do not review at GA often and it has been some time since I did a GA review.

Deleted photos
GrapedApe,
I notice that the administrator User:Phantomsteve seems to have deleted a few of your images (File:4thavepgh.jpg and File:GatewayCenter.jpg), that you seemed to have taken and were used in, and valuable for illustrating, a couple of Pittsburgh articles. This administrator cited "(F9: Unambiguous copyright violation: from www.cyburbia.org/forums/showthread.php?t=26389 ("©1994-2010 Cyburbia"))", which seems unusual, because he is citing a copyright violation based on someone posting those photos in a thread on a public message board. Can you verify that these were your photos? I would like to get them restored to Wikipedia. Thanks.CrazyPaco (talk) 17:55, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the reply. Don't know how I got the uploader confused. (must have been that they were here) Thanks for setting me straight. It's still strange that the reasoning for deletion was that they were posted on a public message board. The copyright does not apply to the photo, but if wasn't that user's photo, then I guess it doesn't matter. CrazyPaco (talk) 00:51, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- Regarding Conk, yeah, I saw that Cathedral crop thing (btw, I do appreciate you defending it). Honestly though, while I don't like not being attributed, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that those things are going to happen if I'm going to upload images. I've seen my pic of the CoL (and others) on other websites, and there is really nothing you can do about it. That comes with the territory of having it accessible to everyone. I don't like Conk's behavior, but I'd rather have the project take the high road and give him his due process on those images which only would cost a couple of weeks delay. He/she has seemed to have also uploaded what appears to be some legit images. It did happened to me once where I had an image of mine tagged for PUF just because of how it looked. Now that said, I didn't have Conk's track record, but still...and some of my images have been scanned from older developed photos that I have taken so there is no exif, so I guess that is where I'm coming from on this. Hey, btw, great work on all the W&J stuff. Cheers..CrazyPaco (talk) 02:10, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hey, btw, a simple google image search pulled up the Children's Museum image as a © violation, so yeah, that should be speedily deleted. For the other images, I still think he should be given the opportunity to speak if lacking similar hard evidence. CrazyPaco (talk) 02:43, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'll help you with sifting through Conk's stuff. What exactly would you like me to work on? Do you want me to try to find the original source images for speedy deletion? CrazyPaco (talk) 03:55, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Statue Photo
I contacted Canonsburg Chamber of Commerce and learned there is someone there who does have a copyright on her photo of it that is used for post cards. Every photo I have found elsewhere has some type of copyright issues to it. There is a chance she may give permission for WP to use a photo or photos from the post card(s) on the Perry Como page. Would something of this nature be acceptable? If so, I might need to ask your help in the right way of tagging the image if we get any from the lady.

So you could have it in running, bicycle racing, etc. It is another name for a preliminary round. Could you please check your source to see if it is in fact a separate event or sport?

Image Question
Re: the Dick Biondi page. Am aware where I can get one with the original owner being WCFL (AM). The station owner (Chicago Federation of Labor) sold the station in 1978; the call letters on the AM band died out in 1987. Am aware that it's a lot harder in the case of living persons, and Biondi fits that category. So before I possibly create issues by this, can you tell me if an image with this type of background would be acceptable for use there?

- Well, the file description says "Copyright: Washington University," so I thought that finding the URL was superfluous. --GrapedApe (talk) 19:01, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

- I noticed you deleted the Mark Wrighton photo. Just so you know that was from a Army page (Army is under the Department of Defense). I am almost certain this is fair-use because it is under the purview of the US Government. NorwalkJames (talk) 17:28, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

I think puttting the entry on the possibly non-free list was the right thing to do. I noticed a couple of inadvertent mistakes in your description, one of which in particular you might want to fix (and the other, as long as you're there anyway). The more important one is: The date is given as "early 20th century," but that's very helpful. I think you meant not very helpful - no? The other is you just forgot a space between further and complicated. I wouldn't bring it up if it weren't for the first. I would have changed them for you, but I didn't want to be presumptious.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Removed AFD notice by mistake
I am sincerely sorry that I removed the AFD notice you put on the page Alexander_Henderson_Award before the discussion is complete. I wasn't aware that AFD discussions take place on separate pages and removed the AFD notice because I couldn't find a reason for why it was put up. After I realized how it works I have tried to contribute to the discussion.
Again, I am sorry for having made that mistake. I won't do it again.

GA Nomination for M-6 (Michigan highway)
I know this is a bit out of your comfort zone, but I started a GA review of M-6 (Michigan highway) and there seems to be a difference of opinion with the author over how much explanatory material should be included to make the article self explanatory. I would appreciate a second set of eyes reading the article to see whether it should be clarified, particulary with respect to who designates roads as a part of the National Highway System and the use of exit number designations. I would appreciate if you could spend a couple of minutes looking it over. Thanks. Racepacket (talk) 13:01, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Washington & Jefferson College
You worked hard... and it is difficult to get people to review the article... I have an idea of what you go through, because I recently spent some time in developping the French article on the University of Heidelberg (Université de Heidelberg).
I read it quickly through and I have a few comments I'd like to discuss with you first. In some case I find the history very detailed, for example, William E. Slemmons apparently did not do much, so I would not expect to find him in the main article. On the other hand I think Relations with the city of Washington belongs to the history of the university. --Anneyh (talk) 17:31, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
Copyvio tags
I see that you tagged a number of images (mostly related to brass Rat) as possible Copyvios. However, I don't see that you notified the uploader of the image. In some cases, there may be a simple answer, for example, if the creator of the image was a member of the ring committee, it is not impossible that the creator also added the image to the MIT page. I'm like to hear from some of them before deleting, but they haven't been informed.--SPhilbrickT 15:37, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

W&J football-related
Hi GrapedApe – a few things to note regarding W&J football coaches.
- I upgraded the W&J football coach navbox per new WP:CFB standardization. While doing so, I noticed that you never put R. LeBlanc Lynch in List of Washington & Jefferson Presidents head football coaches, even though the 2007 W&J football media guide lists him as the first coach spanning from 1891 into part of the 1892 season.
- In the coach navbox, I listed J. J. Clark as an interim head coach, because according to the 2007 media guide, he was the head coach for only 4 games in 1892. If Lynch is listed as the head coach for 1891 and 1892, this (to me anyway) signifies that Clark was an interim. If you disagree please raise the issue and we will try to hash it out.
- I happened to find that there is a mention of R. LeBlanc Lynch in the article St. James Episcopal Church (Amesbury, Massachusetts). I would be stunned if the Reverend and the football coach weren't one in the same. I was thinking perhaps this might interest you in creating his article (if you can find the sources)? Anywho, that's about all for now. Cheers! Jrcla2 (talk) 13:59, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

While I appreciate that for most of the social fraternities that changing the link from Washington & Jefferson College to Greek organizations at Washington & Jefferson College makes sense, Alpha Phi Omega is not mentioned at all in that Greek Organizations page. Since you seem to have an interest in the page (or at least mentioning the page on your personal page), I thought I'd talk to you before reverting since adding Alpha Phi Omega to the Greek Organizations page would also be a solution. Having said that, there are probably other schools with pages in Category:Lists of chapters of United States student societies by college where they mention Alpha Phi Omega and thus the link makes sense.Naraht (talk) 10:51, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

I see your respectful restore, but four cites, all from Fiji publications, seems first excessive, and second both redundant and derivative. How about we go with the best, and you (or someone) finds a non-Fiji reference that could support, or better, replace, it? Let me know before I restore my edit, as four are overkill for a general purpose encyclopedia, not a Fiji history page at a Fiji specific or Greek Org website. Yours.

Hi GrapedApe, I just wanted to let you know that I added {{W&Jcats}} to this Template for Deletion discussion. The reason I'm doing so is because I was unaware that Template:Category tree existed, which in my opinion seems to be the most concise and user-friendly approach to sorting categories. Feel free to contest the deletion, but I wanted to drop you a line. Jrcla2 (talk) 19:42, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
- That's fine. Besides, I copied that template off of your W&M one.--GrapedApe (talk) 00:11, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah I realized that, ultimately I decided it was kind of junking up the W&M categories, but I didn't want to touch the W&J one since it seemed to work well for you. Well hey, as long as the cats are all navigable, ya know? Jrcla2 (talk) 00:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Theta Delta Chi crest.png
Thanks for uploading File:Theta Delta Chi crest.png. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

Mother of Fraternities article dispute
Greetings. A brief note of acknowledgment of your seeking to move a disagrement over content at the Mother of Fraternities article towards a resolution this past May 16th. I'm sorry that I did not contribute to the discussion at that time. I found the behavior of user 71.106.150.61 so frustrating that it resulted in a six month hiatus from Wikipedia just to chill out.
I see the article reverted to its inadequately supported state in the wake. I'm not interested in banging my head against the wall with that user again. If anything ever works out for the best, do drop a note. Thanks. Wikiuser100 (talk) 17:03, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

The deletion discussion doesn't mean you did something wrong. In fact, other editors may have useful suggestions on how you can continue editing and improving Touched: The Jerry Sandusky Story, which I encourage you to do. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Help Desk.

Speedy deletion declined: MC Lars discography

Hi GrapedApe. Thank you for your work on patrolling new pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I'm just letting you know that I declined your deletion request for Babyboom (EP), a page that you tagged for speedy deletion, because the criterion you used or the reason you gave does not cover this kind of page. Please take a moment to look at the suggested tasks for patrollers and review the criteria for speedy deletion. Particularly, the section covering non-criteria. Such pages are best tagged with proposed deletion, proposed deletion for biographies of living persons, or sent to the appropriate deletion discussion. I just wanted to give you a heads up. While the referenced article did not indicate importance and/or significance, it was not applicable for deletion under the A9 criteria for speedy deletion, due to the existence of the artist's article. In these situations, the general response is to redirect the article to the artist article, in accordance with the guidelines at WP:NALBUMS. If you have questions, feel free to contact me. Best regards, Cind.amuse (Cindy) 20:01, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi.

GetCITED
Hi. Just to let you know, I've removed the speed deletion tag from GetCITED because it does make a claim of importance : "It indexes over 3,000,000 publications from over 300,000 authors." Also it has already been the subject of an AfD the result of which was no consensus; this would suggest that deletion is potentially controversial and therefore it is not a good candidate for speedy deletion. --Mrmatiko (talk) 13:57, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

I'm wondering about your proposed deletion of the above file. It was uploaded from Flickr, with a free license 4.5 years ago. Unfortunately, the free license cannot be checked NOW, because the original photog is no longer on Flickr. It seems to me that the uploader probably followed the rules as they existed 4.5 years ago, and that if you had wanted to check the license you had plenty of time to do it earlier. Best to AGF now. Smallbones (talk) 04:22, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- So, your argument is that Wikipedia should host content without any evidence that it is freely licensed...because it probably is OK?--GrapedApe (talk) 04:24, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, I am simply stating that the file has been OK for 4.5 years, it was uploaded in Good Faith (probably according to the rules then in force). It seems to me that you've missed your chance to challenge the license. Otherwise, rules can be changed and enforcement practices shift, resulting in the possible deletion of ANY file on Commons.

American Football helmets
The use of the helmets taken from either http://nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/index.htm or http://nationalchamps.net/Helmet_Project/ cant be justified under fair use, your will see from Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 December 11#File:LSU Helmet.png the helmet element (not the logo) part image IS replaceable, just go to any game and take a free picture (then make a Fair use claim for the logo element) , and in cases where the logo is not copyrightable as in the case of File:North Texas.png (as it only contains letters) there is no need to make a fair use claim. Mtking (edits) 19:43, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, but I already made my opinions known.--GrapedApe (talk) 22:30, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
- Graped, my understanding of copyright and trademark law and Wikipedia policy is that Wikipedia requires CC-By-SA released images. Irregardless of the team/school logo, the helmet drawing is the problem here in that helmet image itself isn't released for commercial use. Using it in WIkipedia is a copyright violation of the helmet project website that created it as it has not been released it by CC-By-SA. Also, in the case of the Pitt football helmet, for instance, it isn't actually a copyrighted or trademarked logo of the football team so fair use doesn't apply (only "Pitt" is trademarked). It is also replaceable since one could get a photo of any of these helmets (unfortunately, I don't have the current helmet for pitt, although I have two older helmets) or draw our own helmet. None of any other team's helmet images have survived deletion requests and most have now been deleted. CrazyPaco (talk) 06:42, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello Graped Ape, I would like to petition for the undeletion of the photo you removed from Christian Keiber. The notes explain there is no credit on the photo.
