 Freqently Asked Questions (FAQ)
|
Q: Why have you reduced the size of my file?
A: In accordance with Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria 3(b): An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low, rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate, is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). If you believe I have made an error in reducing the image, please let me know. If there was no error is the lowering in the resolution, please keep the image reduced and keep it tagged until an administrator has deleted the larger versions of the image.

Q: Why have you tagged my file as {{di-bad fair use}} 10(c)?
A: I have tagged it as in violation of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria 10(c): The name of each article (a link to each article is also recommended) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use. Meaning, provide a fair use rationale on the file description page, every time you use it on a different article. Otherwise it does not meet criteria for inclusion and it can be nominated for deletion.
|
Q: Why have you removed my image from an article because of 10(c)?
A: The file does not have a fair use rationale on the file description page for why it is on that article. If you add a rationale, you are free to use the image on the article once again.
|
Q: Why have you tagged my file as {{di-bad fair use}} 10(a)?
A: I have tagged it as in violation of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria 10(a): Identification of the source of the material, supplemented, where possible, with information about the artist, publisher and copyright holder; this is to help determine the material's potential market value. A source for where the image was taken from needs to be specified, otherwise it will be marked for deletion.
|
Q: Why have you added {{deletable image-caption}} to an article?
A: This is to notify users that the image next to the caption is a candidate for speedy deletion in a number of days due to problems specified on the image description page.
|
Q: Couldn't you just fix this image problem yourself?
A: While I tag and re-sizing images, I do keep a look-out for things I can fix, rather than tag it for fixing. There is somewhere near 340,000 non-free images on Wikipedia, so I can't do this alone.
|
Q: Are you an administrator?
A: No, I am not an administrator here. I can not protect or delete pages, move over redirects, or block users. For a full list of privileges I have, and projects where I have them, see this page. Also, if you offer to nominate me for adminiship, I will probably decline. I have had a few nominations in the past, the last being in 2006. If I ever run again, it will be a long time from now.

Are you back from your Wikibreak, now that you've restored your userpage? MITB LS 02:54, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It was premature on my part, but yes, for the most part. — Moe ε 15:14, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Beautiful, my stalker, just in time :P — Moe ε 15:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Gasp, the finger! Now thats promoting WikiHate! :P — Moe ε 19:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- lol, welcome back Moe ;). I've put those things on a couple of my user subpages so we don't have to copy and paste them anymore. User:The Hybrid/Blank, and User:The Hybrid/Finger. Sooooo, how's life? The Hybrid 19:44, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks. Life, well, lets say life is changing as I know it, or at least mine that is :P and I needed to keep up (thank goodness for wikibreaks).. — Moe ε 19:48, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you grow some eyes and see who's putting the returns on the WWE Superstars or are you going to allow it now? —Noarules 17:10, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't have time to check every article, telling me to "grow eyes" or let you return them is incivil. You can remove them yourself whenever you see one. — Moe ε 17:18, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You have an attitude problem mate. What the hell is that about vanity? I designed a page for myself to use rather than the bland standard page. All you had to do is ask me to move it to my namespace nicely (which I was going to do anyway). How can a "vanity" page not mention anything about myself.
