-== Psycho (1960 film) GAR notification ==
-[[Psycho (1960 film)]] has been nominated for a [[Wikipedia:Good article reassessment|good article reassessment]]. Please leave your comments and help us to return the article to [[Wikipedia:What is a good article?|good article quality]]. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status will be removed from the article. Reviewers' concerns are [[Talk:Psycho (1960 film){{#if:1|/GA1}}|here]].--[[User:TonyTheTiger|TonyTheTiger]] <small>([[User talk:TonyTheTiger|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/TonyTheTiger|c]]/[[User:TonyTheTiger/Antonio Vernon|bio]]/[[WP:CHICAGO]]/[[WP:LOTM]]) </small> 22:52, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

-::Ha, just noticed [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Psycho_%281960_film%29&diff=307043368&oldid=307039985 this]. I'm trimming the section right now and that was literally the ''first'' thing I removed. :-) [[User:Steve|<span style="font-variant: small-caps;">'''Steve'''</span>]]&nbsp;<sup>[[User talk:Steve|T]]&nbsp;•&nbsp;[[Special:Contributions/Steve|C]]</sup> 21:40, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

-== Bathurst redux ==
-I just read your email. Both ''Mirror'' sources (first-hand interviews with him) openly refer to her as a physiotherapist. Both are easily accessible by any member of the public. Like you said, it's hardly a violation of family privacy (not like publishing addresses). [[User:Wereon]] has restored the information now anyway (I don't have the article on my watchlist).

-==Removal of PROD from [[Spotlight Kid (band)]]==
-Hello The JPS, this is an automated message from [[User:SDPatrolBot|SDPatrolBot]] to inform you the PROD template you added to [[Spotlight Kid (band)]] has been removed. It was removed by [[User:Michig|Michig]] with the following edit summary '<nowiki>(deprod - article already links to a BBC interview, and a band with members of Six By Seven, Bent, Spiritualized, and Echoboy is almost certainly going to pass muster re notability. AFD if not convinced)</nowiki>'. Please consider [[User_talk:Michig|discussing your concerns]] with Michig before pursuing deletion further yourself. If you still think the article should be deleted after communicating with the 'dePRODer,' you may want to send the article to [[WP:AfD|AfD]] for community discussion. Thank you, [[User:SDPatrolBot|SDPatrolBot]] ([[User talk:SDPatrolBot|talk]]) 01:35, 18 August 2009 (UTC) <small>([[Template:Bots|Learn how to opt out of these messages]])</small>
-==Cantr II Article==
-The wikipedia article "Cantr II" was deleted, but has been edited at [[User:Junesun/Cantr II]].
-I'd like to know if this page is ready to be reposted on wikipedia, or if it is still missing something. [[User:Joshuamonkey|Joshuamonkey]] ([[User talk:Joshuamonkey|talk]]) 06:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
-==Madhouse on Castle Street==
-Not a criticism, just a genuine query - is it still right to change it to present tense even though the play doesn't exist any more? [[User:Angmering|Angmering]] ([[User talk:Angmering|talk]]) 16:36, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
-:I would guess on occasions like that, yes, present tense would be appropriate. [[User:The JPS|<font color="Purple">The <b>JP</b>S</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:The JPS|'''<font color="Purple"><b>talk</b> to me</font>''']]</sup> 18:01, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
-== Wikinews article reviewed ==
-Just wanted to let you know that I reviewed your WN article and you can find more about that on Wikinews, but I thought that you might see this before you saw the comment I made on your WN talk page. [[User:Calebrw|Calebrw]] ([[User talk:Calebrw|talk]]) 12:51, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
-== User:TheBeatles420 ==
-This person is back and once again adding totally unreferenced information about nonexistent films (possible hoaxes) to Wikipedia. [[User:Multixfer|&lt;&gt;Multi-Xfer&lt;&gt;]] ([[User talk:Multixfer|talk]]) 21:13, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
-:Thanks for letting me know. I've taken appropriate action. [[User:The JPS|<font color="Purple">The <b>JP</b>S</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:The JPS|'''<font color="Purple"><b>talk</b> to me</font>''']]</sup> 22:13, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

-==Gallery Images==
-Instead of just removing them, why not try adding that "critical commentary" you are asking for.  It is easier to delete something, but better to try and fix it. - <small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #900;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;background-color:White;">NeutralHomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;background-color:White;">Talk</span>]] • 17:32, 2 October 2009 (UTC)</small>
-:You expect me to research 50+ articles? [[User:The JPS|<font color="Purple">The <b>JP</b>S</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:The JPS|'''<font color="Purple"><b>talk</b> to me</font>''']]</sup> 17:34, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
-::Yes.  It would be better than deleting a ton of images, which is what you are doing now.  Deletion is easy, research and fixing the problem, not as easy, but makes things better in the long run.  Try it. - <small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #900;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;background-color:White;">NeutralHomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;background-color:White;">Talk</span>]] • 17:39, 2 October 2009 (UTC)</small>
-:::By deleting the images I ''am'' fixing the problem. The problem is that these hundreds of images violate Wikipedia's core principle of being a free encyclopedia. The expectation is that those who want non-free images retained to do the work an justify their inclusion in a free encyclopedia.

-*Typical admin answer.  ''You'' do the work.  Right.  Anyway, you should read [[WT:WikiProject Television Stations/Archive 8#A Man In Black is back...|this discussion]] and [[WT:WikiProject Television Stations/Archive 8#293.xx.xxx.xx and non free images|this discussion]], where we have established consensus these images are within the rules of Wikipedia and we have a nice little posting from Mike Godwin....

-:Mike is probably correct in that the radio and TV stations are unlikely to object. That does not make it open-season for non-free media. I don't see a consensus in those links.

-::It is there, just buried under a whole bunch of talking.  I am not saying let's go "open season" on images, but deleting them outright shouldn't be the way.  There should be a way that the images can be included into the articles that makes the Non-Free people happy and the image-inclusionists happy. - <small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #900;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;background-color:White;">NeutralHomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;background-color:White;">Talk</span>]] • 18:55, 2 October 2009 (UTC)</small>
-:::I myself am a geek and I do enjoy looking through old images (TV Ark, for instance, is a great website). Logos can tell a lot about the evolution of a station of changes of ownership. But, we need sufficient prose to justify their inclusion. Quality over quantity. Can you point to a concrete guideline that supports your assertion. Have the discussions to which you point led to anything that supersedes [[Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Non-free_image_use_in_galleries]]?

-::::The only thing I have is the two discussions and the note from Godwin....I don't think that overrides [[Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Non-free_image_use_in_galleries]]....though in most cases users are not using galleries, they are putting the images in "thumbs" with a little blurb of information like "Logo used until October 2009" or something like that, though some of the blurbs are longer than that. - <small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #900;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;background-color:White;">NeutralHomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;background-color:White;">Talk</span>]] • 19:38, 2 October 2009 (UTC)</small>
-::::::Yes, it's not only a question of the galleries, it's the critical commentary aspect; dispersing the images as thumbnails throughout the article doesn't work either, I'm afraid. I've seen a few articles through the [[WP:FAC]] process, so know what standards we are aiming for. For instance, I was forced to remove ''one'' screenshot showing two characters next to a description of those characters, because the image provided no more information.

I am very troubled by the non-neutral words you use. "fair use = open-season for polluting our free encyclopedia with this." I would strongly suggest you get wider consensus before you dictate what should or should not be on wikipedia. [[User:Ikip|Ikip]] ([[User talk:Ikip|talk]]) 21:32, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

-::Consensus ''has'' been reached. [[Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Non-free_image_use_in_galleries|This]] is clear. Guidelines are established, worded and updated after extended discussion.

-You don't delete images because they "Violates non-free use policy", you don't get to decide what violates what and what doesn't.  There are plenty of pages of images that are perfectly OK.  If you have a problem with these images (because you were reverting) you don't use your admin tools to delete the image (out of sight, out of mind).  That is using your admin tools in a VERY bad way and a clear COI.  I request your restore any and all images you have deleted this way and explain exactly why you think they are "violating non-free use policy" when we had a discussion about where there is consensus they don't and Godwin backs that up. - <small style="white-space:nowrap;border:1px solid #900;padding:1px;">[[User:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:#900;background-color:White;">NeutralHomer</span>]] • [[User talk:Neutralhomer|<span style="color:Black;background-color:White;">Talk</span>]] • 20:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC)</small>
-:Every editor experienced in writings and researching articles to comply with Wikipedia policy has agreed that usage of these images in this way is a breach of our non-free policy. You must understand that this is not ''I'' disliking these images: I am merely carrying out my administrative, janitorial duties by removing non-free media that harms out goal of being a free encyclopedia. Policy, the pillars, and the guidelines are absolutely clear.<br/>In the meantime, most of those articles are an embarrassment; filled with crufty lists of current and past presenters, and rarely an inline citation to support the station histories, never mind justify the use of non-free media.
