Image

I know it's stating the obvious, but if anyone has an image of the NSW Premier to be, it would be greatly appreciated. It was quite a feat gaining free images of every current Premier in Australia. Timeshift (talk) 03:04, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your wish is my command... I am afraid that in the small size it seems a bit dark but that's cos it was taken under the COLA at the school he was visiting for the prize giving. (I was there because my daughter was getting one) Albatross2147 (talk) 03:29, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That was quick! However, is there a reason why the image contains no metadata? Timeshift (talk) 03:43, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because I did a quick and dirty edit of an enormous original TIFF file and in the conversion I suppose the metadata was lost. Image metadata is not a prerequisite for inclusion of an image in Wp is it? Albatross2147 (talk) 00:10, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not as far as i'm aware. I just feel that metadata gives a free image license more legitimacy. After reading what you've said, and reviewing your image contributions, I have no doubt however that the image is genuinely free. :) Timeshift (talk) 02:52, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photoshop and a few other photo editing programs you can lose metadata (some RAW files converted can lose the meta easily then .jpg). Bidgee (talk) 03:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think this and Iemma's articles are going to be busy over the coming days...hopefully not much vandalism either! --Mikecraig (talk) 04:36, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Girraween Athletics Club

User:Wilbur56 has been inserting, "During 2001 / 2002, Rees was a member of Girraween Athletics Club and specialised in middle distance events. User:Bidgee has been reverting it.[1], based on lack of source. Both editors breached WP:3RR in this. However, let's hope that this is water under the bridge. In a post to his Talk page, Wilbur56 wrote

Thank you for your patience

Hello, I have tried to add information to the Biography of Nathan Rees but you said it was deleted as it was not cited. The information I woud like to add is: [...]

I am President of Girraween Athletics Club Inc. and our club records verify the additions I have made.

Regards --Wilbur56 (talk) 00:31, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I responded to this editor there regarding our need for reliable source and also regarding WP:COI, which might apply, and I suggested that the editor look for newspaper articles from the time that might confirm the claim; those could be used as sources (even if not available on-line). The club records are primary sources and generally could not be used. --Abd (talk) 16:02, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Geez it breached WP:BIO and WP:V (and I even looked for sourced before removing it). Stop using this as a witch hunt and stop stalking. Bidgee (talk) 16:04, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
