Reverting

Hi, DrBat. I've put a comment on the Danielle Moonstar talk page. I would appreciate it if we could get some dialogue going here to avoid a revert war. Daniel Davis 00:30, 31 December 2005 (UTC) (Doom127)

Reverting Supergirl & Powergirl

Is there a particular reason you are reverting the much newer and nicer image of Supergirl drawn by Michael Turner to that gawd aweful one that Ian Churchill did for SM/BM #19/SG #0???

Also, why are you doing the same thing to Powergirl. This image I loaded is the same except mine has none of the text & logos & a different color scheme???

• RE Powergirl: The original image I found was the one that was posted for the solictations for the month. The final version (with new color scheme) came out later. I found the new one on a Yahoo Group for... Powergirl. I will post the link later tonite.

• RE Supergirl: While Ian Churchill does draw the book & half the covers (Turner does the other) it was Turner who created the visuals of this Supergirl and with all due respect to Ian C (whose art I do like very much) the image you use is atrocious in the context it is used (ala minus Batman, Superman & the rest of the background).

New Wolverine News & Images

• I wanted you to know that I did not arbitrarily change the Wolverine images. There is new news (see the HOM aftermath tab) and you will see why I thought it merited the new character image. Dstorres

Poison Ivy

Please refrain from edit warring at the above article. It is now on my watch list and I will be blocking any user who violates WP:3RR. It would be better if you and User:Mistress Selina Kyle discussed your difference of opinion on the talk page rather than engage in an edit war. Learning to compromise and when to walk away is all part of being a wikipedia editor. Steve block talk 13:59, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Magneto's significant stories

I was about to put up those significant stories, until I saw that you beated me to the punch. I just wanted to say thanks and sorry. I know I said I would do it, but my life has just gotten so busy, these past few weeks. - -- LEC20 20:04, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Scarlet Spider

A few issues after Ben took Peter's place in jail, since Kaine had stolen all Peter's costumes. Tail end of Mark of Kaine, including the Sinister Seven Spider-Man Unlimited issue; and Web of Spider-Man #125. - SoM 12:48, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Drewbarrymore.jpg and fair use

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain why using this image in the Drew Barrymore article qualifies as fair use. Thanks! Postdlf 23:36, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I ifded it and removed from article as agency photos are generally not OK to use under fair use. Arniep 00:03, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

If you want to add Image:Drewbarrymorerwb.jpg you need to put some critical commentary in the article. Arniep 16:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi any fair use image needs commentary to make it fair use. You just need to say something on the movie, whether it got good or bad reviews etc. Arniep 16:21, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Wicked (comics)

Hey! Thanks for the image. I don't have a scanner, so it was good that you were able to add that. Tullyman 16:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Your war on Mel Gibson

• I'm removing that image of Herod from the Passion of the Christ that you put in the Mel Gibson article. As I've already written that article is about Mr. Gibson, not every movie he has been in. If you really think this business over Herod and how you think he's homosexual the movie, then put that in the Passion of the Christ article along with the image. It simply doesn't belong in the Mel Gibson page. And by the way, I asked you this last September: What do you have against Mel Gibson? What did he ever do to you to make you clearly hate him so much, as you've shown with your edits that obviously cast him in a negative light. -- Judson 21:20, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Orphan-Bot keeps leaving messages for me about this image; all I did was revert to a previous version of the image; I never uploaded any version. --DrBat 05:32, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

It's messaging you because you're the most recent person on the uploaders list, and it keeps notifying you because you keep removing the notification. I'll see what I can do to keep this from happening in the future. --Carnildo 08:24, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Aileenchild.jpg

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Aileenchild.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stan 04:02, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Man and dog

Though I didn't replace it in the articles, I created a modified image of Image:Man and dog.jpg sans the green eyes. What are your thoughts on it? --DrBat 14:22, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

that's fine, put it in the article if you like. the dog actually has green eyes, just not that green. Pedant 05:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:Typhoid_Mary46.jpg

I listed this picture for deletion as I replaced it with the actual comic cover Image:TyphoidMary46.JPG and replaced it on both the Daredevil and Typoid Mary pages. As the uploader of the original picture, I wanted to give you the courtesy of knowing. AriGold 18:19, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome. :-) AriGold 13:32, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagged as Fair Use

Greetings. Thank you for uploading Image:Uncanny451.jpg and Image:Uncanny94.jpg These images have been tagged as fair use. Please add a detailed rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image_description_page, as well as the source of the work and copyright

information. Regards, Dethomas 19:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Echo/Ronin

I know it's been a while since you asked this, but I was on WikiBreak.

I seem to recall comments by Bendis that the Ronin costume (and I don't think she's ever been called "Ronin" in-story, has she? Even the panel with her taking the helmet off had her say "They also call me Echo", with the handprint on her face) was only for when she didn't want people to know that they were talking to the Kingpin's adopted daughter or something like that. I'd leave it at Echo for now at least, with that in mind. - SoM 22:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Typhoid Mary image

AriGold has reported you for a 3RR violation on the Typhoid Mary (comics) article. Instead, I'll ask you to give up inserting your image (which IMHO is definitely nicer looking). You've been told by two administrators (Postdlf and Steve block -- and now add me, so that makes three) that it will be easier for Wikipedia to claim fair use of the lower resolution image. And honestly, is this really big enough of a deal that it's worth getting blocked for? I should hope not, so please just let it go. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 22:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I'd look at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics/Archive07#Header_for_linking_purposes:

One: If these are truly promotional images, then the fair use argument is quite good, actually better than for scanned images of the covers. Such images should be tagged as {{promotional}}, however, not as "comic book covers", because they're not. And they must be sourced or they will be deleted.

Still, don't keep reverting right now. - SoM 23:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, Kelly Martin (whom SoM is quoting) is right. However, you have to show proof that the image you found is indeed a promotional image. I went and read some of the threads you cited and that being a forum, there's no authoritative source that says the image was released by Marvel for promotional purposes. Assuming for the sake of argument that you do indeed find one, I would then cite that source on Talk:Typhoid Mary (comics) or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Comics as well as linking to Kelly's statement and seeing if others will agree. Don't just replace the image or you'll end up starting another revert war. Good luck. howcheng {chat} 06:41, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Image names

I noticed you've uploaded Image:2765 400x600.jpg and I thought I should warn you about your mistake. You shouldn't upload images with such names, because they're hard to track and we can't really know what is it about without actually looking at it. We suggest you rename your image with an intuitive name that describes the image itself. Thanks, and good editing! Flying Canuck 23:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

sorry, something went wrong it was Image:2765 400x600.jpg I was talking about.Flying Canuck 23:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
