Simple Logo

Hi,

creating a transparent logo from a non-transparent one is a lot harder than just using the existing transparent one as a template. I would ask you to keep in place the Simple Logo I created, in order to maintain the distinction between the projects, until a better replacement can be found.-Eloquence* 19:21, Feb 13, 2005 (UTC)

Wikijunior Solar System Needs You

Danny Wool has challenged us to get Wikijunior Solar System out to hurricane evacuees by October 32005. This is going to be tough!

You expressed interest in WikiJunior. Would you be willing now to join the push to get Wikijunior Solar System completed?

Your help will be appreciated

I have replied on my talk page User talk:0.39 to your remarks about the template I have been working on (User:0.39/Orbiter (sim)/Infobox Spacecraft Template)... Is your offer of help still on?0.39 11:08, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Removing star ratings from albums

Was wondering if your bot could convert these star ratings (and their derivatives) in albums to plain text. I noticed you made the changes when the stars template was officially deleted. However, about a thousand remain. an example conversion. Let me know if you can do it. Otherwise, I'll just post on the bot requests page. Thanks. Gflores ^Talk 04:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Hulk Picture

Neto, I blocked Locke for his obvious harassment but Fair Use images aren't allowed in the user space, only the article space. So, yes, the image should be removed from your user page even though it's part of the project. --Wgfinley 06:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

The image has been there for a long, long time. I provided fair use rationale on Image:Ferrigno as Hulk.jpg, and as far as I know, it's the first time that's been done. I think it is sufficient, and could be an alternative to ideas that a blanket ban on FU images is needed. I'd really like it to be discussed, and will happily comply if fair use rationale doesn't cut it. -- Netoholic @ 06:31, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Fair Use Policy read #9, Fair Use images aren't allowed outside of the article space, sorry, this has been an ongoing issue. --Wgfinley 06:53, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I understand that's what's written, but that's very recent and "fair use rationale" was never brought up. All I've asked is that people hunting down fair use images take this and see if it fits for an exception. Leaving it up as a temporary demonstration would be nice. -- Netoholic @ 06:56, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I think that the blanket ban on fair use images on user pages is ill thought out. Had I been in charge, I would have granted more leeway for such images, so long as they were not likely to lead to actual legal trouble. However, the current ban is, unfortunately, a Foundation policy. Other users are required to follow it, so it would be unfair to them to grant you a special exemption.

You're right, it is fairly recent, yes, you put the pic on your user page before it was put into place but yes, I'm afraid you can't use it outside of article space. --Wgfinley 08:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
