Hi, welcome to the fifth volume of my talk page.

Fair use rationale for Image:Mackenzie_with_the_winner_of_the_car.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mackenzie_with_the_winner_of_the_car.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is either no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use, or else the rationale given is not valid. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MER-C 11:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Mackenzie_mad_about_her_gift.jpg

I have tagged Image:Mackenzie_mad_about_her_gift.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. MER-C 11:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

I've reinstated the A-class status, congratulations! You might however want to look at the comments by John Carter, those could really improve the article. Errabee 16:28, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

In all honesty, considering her relationship to fashion, I can see some of the links to clothing items/page remaining, as the precise meanings may be more relevant in this context than in others. I wish I knew of a clearer guideline for what does and doesn't merit links, though. John Carter 16:50, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Allure cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Allure cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:10, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Bride Has_Massive_Hair_Wig_Out

I've nominated Bride Has_Massive_Hair_Wig_Out, an article you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that Bride Has_Massive_Hair_Wig_Out satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion; I have explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bride Has_Massive_Hair_Wig_Out and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of Bride Has_Massive_Hair_Wig_Out during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion.

1981 Irish hunger strike

Changes are made. Can you let me know what the "couuple of places I might want to see citations were this being nominated for FA" are please? There's a couple of places I've left a sentence or two uncited rather than use the same footnotes after multiple sentences, so it's possible that's what you're referring to. Thanks.

RfA nomination

NY 52

I was thinking about a possible WP:GA nom and future WP:FA candidate for NY 52. But the lead needs some work, and writing isn't my strong point, but I could use your help. We'll start from the lead and work our way down to the History which needs the most amount of attention. But the lead has been a big problem for me because there's a strict way of writing route articles without using them as the subject. -- JA10Talk • Contribs 22:51, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I just dont want to see what happened to Pennsylvania Route 145 happen to NY 52 during it's WP:FAC. But, I think the lead is fine for now. I'll find a ton of sources for route deacription like maps for example. After that, we can get started on the history, which may be a bit hard to find references to. -- JA10 Talk • Contribs 01:09, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I had the article on my watchlist and decided to look at Polaron's edit, and then made a few of my own. I can definitely do some more, hopefully including figuring out if it follows any old turnpikes.

About the original research, the main problem is the "parkway feel" wording, and the extra importance given that characteristic by making it a separate section rather than part of a route description. --NE2 03:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

By the way, [1] is one source that shows NY 52 on both roads. --NE2 03:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

There are arrows pointing to both. --NE2 04:00, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Do you know of anything that indicates which roads are maintained by the state and which by the county? --NE2 03:56, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Not sure what's going on with the junction table, although I'm not surprised that it was changed. Yes, the standard for NY routes is still the junction table template until further notice. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 14:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

The templates are inflexible, not allowing for special cases like the bridge on the county line. --NE2 21:45, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

And who says bridges are supposed to be included in junction lists?! (→zelzany - fish) 21:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Who says they're not? Don't answer that, since I'm sure you've made up your mind. Please consider that you may be wrong. --NE2 21:58, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

No, according to consensus, bridges are not supposed to be in junction lists. Please consider that you may be wrong. (→zelzany - fish) 22:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Even more, an RFC will be filed if you attempt to revert the junction list again. (→zelzany - fish) 22:08, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

For god sake, when will you for once agree with someone. NE2 has always disagreed with other editors on everything. -- JA10 Talk • Contribs 22:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Posting Photos to Wiki Articles: plus-size model

Daniel, noting your comment on need to add photos to the plus-size model article, however attempts to do so using magazine images found online results in constant deletion. Can you help me navigate the Wiki copyright tag system? AntiVanity 23:45, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for your reply Daniel, much appreciated. As a photographer I thought it rather bold to contribute my own photos of models but now I can see it is perhaps necessary - if the article is to look as pretty as the subject matter *ahem*. AntiVanity 07:06, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

More help needed

If you have been following along at WP:FLC#List_of_Chicago_Landmarks you know we need help creating stubs for the List to make it a more useful list and help it achieve WP:FLC status. Since I reminded people of this 7 stubs have been created. We need about 40 more to be safe although we may have a successful candidacy with the article as it stands.

Some of you may also be following the success of WP:CHICOTW at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/COTW/Good Articles. For the last 4 weeks no one has been very active. Thus, I am fearful that Historic Michigan Boulevard District, Harold Washington Cultural Center, Crown Fountain, & Art Institute of Chicago Building will all fail at WP:GAC when their turns come up. Also, Magnificent Mile did not experience the collaborative spirit. Our reputation as a successful collaboration is at stake. In addition to making stubs for the FLC we need your contribution to our collaborations. I am sorry to pull you away from whatever other wikipleasures you may be experiencing, but we need your help.

Back Closure article

I saw you tried to help out with my article about Back closures. Any help I can get on that is appreciated. I was able to compose this article with only a minimal amount of available information, mostly from college textbooks. You mentioned it would look better with a picture, and I wish I could provide one, perhaps of a dress with a back zipper.

I was inspired to write this article because of my son's rare condition. It causes him to uncontrollably take off his clothes. Therefore, I find it necessary to dress him in jumpsuits with back zippers to prevent this from happening. Had I been taking care of a girl with this problem, this would be easy. But for a boy now 12 years old, it's a different matter. Jumpygirl 21:07, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

---

Response: I'm sorry but I do not own a digital camera. That is why I have no picture for this article. I have plenty of clothes with back closures that would otherwise make excellent photo examples. It's too bad I can't use them. I do not have permission to use the pictures of such clothes in online catalogs either; these would otherwise look perfect too. I just learned about Wikipedia this year. I've been searching online for websites that I can use for references in this article. They are hard to find. Websites make the best references, because a link can be provided straight to them. For a printed book, it is much harder to fill in the information needed.

By the way, my son has Diaz-Fedder syndrome, a rare condition that is like autism. One problem he has is he is sensitive to having clothes on his body. When there are any on him, he does anything he can to take them off, like a drowning person panicking to come to the surface for air. The only way to keep him dressed is to put clothes on him he cannot take off himself. For a boy, these are hard to find. I had some back-zipping jumpsuits custom made that look boy-like. For extra security, I put a safety pin underneath the zipper pull tab, blocking the zipper from being pulled down. It sounds strange, but he is smart; he talks like a normal person and does well in special ed. Jumpygirl 15:36, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

re: Some recognition

No, of course I don't mind, thank you. :) I'm keeping a close watch on the film article, as well; still twittering over the recent casting announcements! Take care, María (críticame) 12:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Hm, someone reverted your comment to the film's article. I've found that some of the Film WikiProject folks are way too protective of the talk page. According to Variety and other sources, however, Gosling will play Jack Salmon, something I was somewhat skeptical of, as well. I thought he would have made a great Mr. Harvey, but who knows; I haven't seen anything about how the script is going to look. Details should start coming out once they begin filming, though.

Image:Rosetta Stone screenshot.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Rosetta Stone screenshot.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Rosetta Stone screenshot.jpg fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

replaced with more FUC-compliant .PNG; thus is now orphaned fair-use image. Requesting deletion as original uploader under g7 and other relevant criteria

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Rosetta Stone screenshot.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it did not nominate Image:Rosetta Stone screenshot.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

re your message

Okay, that just takes so long sometimes, I thought it could be reported as vandalism. IPSOS (talk) 16:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Belated congratulations on your RfA

I would have gladly supported you, but I was in California for a couple of weeks and wasn't online much. Sorry I missed it, and I hope you're enjoying the new tools. Kafziel ^Talk 17:19, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Sure am ... in fact, when your message came in, I had just made my first 3RR block (on one of those hotly-contested Middle East-related articles) and was afraid someone was contesting it. Then I indefintitely blocked a vandal-only IP ... fortunately that was pretty clear-cut. Daniel Case 17:24, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Requesting removal of a block

Hi Daniel, I'm sorry to ask you to remove your first 3RR block, but I've protected the article in question and am trying to resolve the situation on the talk page. The block was clearly valid, but I just suggested an RFC to try to resolve this problem. What do you think?--Chaser - T 18:05, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, Tiamut has accepted responsibility here, and I think his observation that he needed something like that to get him offline and calmed down is well-taken. Perhaps I should wait a few hours more? Daniel Case 18:29, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but we block for preventative rather than punitive reasons. With the page protected, there's no preventative reason to block the user. Also, I noticed that the other major participant in the edit-war also violated 3RR and has a much longer history of blocks for same. If they become incivil on the talk page, another block may be necessary.

In my limited experience with 3RR blocks, I've found this happens commonly. Someone reports the other participant for 3RR, but both have violated it. It's often difficult for me to decide what to do in those circumstances, as protection prevents other editors from working on the article, while a block stops the edit-warriors from editing other articles. I usually block both parties, considering the block from the whole site an unfortunate consequence of edit-warring on a single article. Nobody likes being blocked, but them's the breaks. In this case I protected because the recent history is almost all edit-warring.--Chaser - T 18:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Will do. That's why I didn't want to venture over there, because it's usually a question of who can get the other party to make the fourth revert and then run over to tell (or if not, get the right version protected). But was checking it out because I'd removed an AIV report on the grounds that it was better off at 3RR (or even AN/I since it involved some suspected sockpuppetry (it has now been duly reported as such)). I'll be going offline soon, and that will be the last thing I do beforehand. Or so I'm saying to myself now. :-) Daniel Case 18:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Daniel.--Chaser - T 19:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Reported

Daniel Case, I have reported Grandia01's abusive behavior to ANI, as you suggested.[2] However, no one has done anything about it - this is exactly why I tried AIV. WP:SSP is even more useless; reports there are, in my experience, very often completely ignored.Proabivouac 02:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Mice In Fiction

Hi, I was just wondering why you closed it as a keep. It seems to me that the whole page, sans two lines in the intro are just trivia and WP:FIVE says that WP isnt a trivia collection. The lone (valid) reference is a movie review article, which I wouldnt categorize as "Significant coverage" as mentioned in WP:NOTE. Thanks Corpx 07:00, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll do that

I appreciate it and will do my best to participate constructively in the RfC there. See you around. Tiamat 13:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songs whose title constitutes the entire lyrics

Closed as no concensus? Really? Most of the support was WP:ILIKEIT, as far as I could tell. I suppose there's some bit of reasoning I missed-- might I suggest you elaborate a bit when you close XfD's that aren't obvious snowballings? I'm not contesting, just wondering.  :-) — Coren ^(talk) 06:52, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Box Office Mojo screenshot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Box Office Mojo screenshot.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 20:55, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Deletion Review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of songs whose title constitutes the entire lyrics. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review.. Hi Daniel, I hate questioning your admin discretion like this; please don't take it personally. Bulldog123 00:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Same here. Don't take this overturn !vote of mine personally. I didn't feel about the closure strongly enough to DRV it myself, but I couldn't in good conscience say I didn't disagree with your decision. For what it's worth, I don't feel this is a reflection on you-- two intelligent people are perfectly allowed to look at the same data and reach different conclusions.  :-) — Coren ^(talk) 03:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Yea now I especially feel bad given your wonderfully detailed closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of famous people trained in mathematics. Bulldog123 03:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

A very unusual (unique?) situation

G'day Daniel, howzitgoing? I just noticed that you (properly) deleted List of Vietnamese companies and followed the AfD link back to an improperly listed AfD from 2004 - is that right? Holy cow Batman that's a long time for an incomplete nom. Thing is, this list is also under a slightly more current AfD here at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Greek companies which is trending towards keep at this time (full disclosure, after some stunning keep arguments from me). In fact, List of Vietnamese companies has just popped up as a red link in the middle of the AfD, which is not yet closed. I have no idea what the best solution would be, but would suggest, a bug report for User:DumbBOT, perhaps restore the list until the other AfD closes and then go and have a beer and scratch your head - this is a strange one :) Cheers, Paxse 04:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Apparently, List of Vietnamese companies was nominated on 1 April 2004, while the article itself didn't exist yet... I think that the article was deleted then, and does not show as deleted revisions because at that time deleted articles weren't saved. Probably Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Vietnamese_companies isn't closed because the deletion process didn't include an explicit closure at that time. Then, it has been recreated and recently renominated for deletion, but linking to the old nom (which is indeed not correctly linked, by the current process). Tizio 17:08, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

To answer to the original question, yes, it is a bug. I'd probably not fix it, given the unlikeliness of this scenario. Tizio 17:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining the 2004/2007 mix-up, I think I almost understand :) Now, what to do about the article (probably) being AfD'd twice simultaneously with two conflicting results? The other AfD has just closed as keep after a good discussion - but this list has been deleted. Cheers, Paxse 04:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

The old AfD the bot has (incorrectly) "completed" is about the old version of the article, which is now lost so we cannot compare it with the current version. Personally, I'd undelete the list and possibly re-nominate it. It is significantly different to the others because of a total lack of links, plus the deletion rationale in the old nom still applies to the current version. Tizio 11:56, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Closing admins on DRV

Yes, XfD closing admins are welcome to participate fully at deletion review. We want your explanation and opinion, thus we ask those opening a review to notify the closing admin. In addition, we give the originally acting admin (XfD closer or speedy deleter) the privilege of overturning themselves and ending the review. (Because their self-overturn changes the situation enough that a new conversation needs to be held in the proper forum.) GRBerry 14:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Moodna Creek and Congratulations

Hi Daniel, congratulations on making admin! I don't generally watch RfAs or I would have supported your candidacy.

I looked at Moodna Creek and like it. Very nice pictures (and no, I still haven't made it to the source of White Deer Hole Creek or Larrys Creek for pictures yet. Do you want to include the USGS GNIS page on the creek as a source?

I also ran the semi-automated peer review script on it. Here are the suggestions from it:

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.^[?]
• See if possible if there is a free use image that can go on the top right corner of this article.^[?]
• Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.^[?]
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]

Block of User:68.103.249.21

Hi Daniel. I was about to block this user, but you beat me too it :). However, I see you blocked the IP address indefinitely. My understanding is that IP addresses (unlike user accounts) should almost never be blocked indefinitely - see Wikipedia:Blocking IP addresses - being that the IP address may subsequently be assigned to someone else.--Kubigula (talk) 03:30, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Locator map

Hi Daniel, since the picture in Shawangunk Grasslands National Wildlife Refuge was 300 px wide, I set the NY locator map to 300 px wide too (nice photo, by the way)(as always).

List of famous people trained in mathematics

>>The result was delete. This is a tough call, but after thinking it over all day I just can't see how this list would work. It could focus on people with advanced mathematics training who chose other careers, but frankly so many people receive graduate degrees in things that have nothing to do with how they achieved notability that I don't see what makes mathematics special in that respect. Advanced mathematics study doesn't commit one to a career in the field (not like, say, seminary would). A list of people with advanced math degrees who do things other than math (like Art Garfunkel) would have to have a title more intricately worded than this, and such wording would probably more easily expose the triviality of the subject (while the current title is, as the keep votes admit, overly broad). I can see where the keep voters are coming from, but ultimately while this is interesting, it would belong better in a wiki focused on math, not the general Wikipedia. <<

Gosh, it's nice that you thought about this "all day" before you dropped the cinderblock on this article's head. How agonizing a decision it must have been. I wish you folks would show that much concern for intellectual purity when it comes to a description of an episode of Scooby-Doo. While Wikipedia is the encylcopedia that anyone can edit, it is rightly criticized as being childish because it turns over the deletion process to a rather intolerant group of people... who, by and large, love Scooby more than they like boring ol' stuff about math majors. Face it, you counted the number of votes in the treehouse. Why can't grownup articles be on here too? Can't spell wiKIpeDia without K-I-D. Mandsford 01:31, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: letters

Any account that adds spoilers to that page are sleeper accounts for the sole purpose of vandalism until proven otherwise. Will ^(talk) 17:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Because the page is semi-protected. Hence the sleeper account thing - the autoconfirm wait is 4 days, and it's obviously bad-faith. Additionally, the account I reported had been left idle for four months - it could've been compromised, but even if it isn't, the spoiler could land Wikipedia in very hot water (as Scholastic and Bloomsbury already sent notices to Gaia and GameFAQs, which have 1% of the traffic the Wiki has).
