Gaelic football club logo

Hi Werieth,

You removed the logo from Wikipedia:WikiProject Gaelic games/club - but if you check the permissions given, you'll see that use of that logo is specifically allowed for the Project page as well as for the article on the club itself. No harm done, I've reinstated it. Please contact me if you need more info. Brocach (talk) 19:49, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

It does not matter if permission was given unless that file is released under a free license it cannot be used outside of the article, see WP:NFCC#9. Werieth (talk) 19:58, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

PS see email from Jimmy stating that wikipedia only permission files will be deleted. [1] Werieth (talk) 20:06, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

WTF are you doing????

The images used have been shared for Wikipedia to use. A WV County logo, is free use (as it pertains to the specific Copyright of non free use) in short, I dont have a publication I am using it in, look at the policy concerning the specific image. You have deleted thousands of images, WHAT are you doing ?????????? I researched every image on MY user page. I cant tell you how HELPFUL it is to be given NO heads up, NO warning, just a kiss off and removal. Thats NOT cool. In fact, its rude as hell. There are efficient and intelligent ways to inform people of such actionsCoal town guy (talk) 21:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Please review WP:CIVIL, as for the removal of File:Seal of Raleigh County, West Virginia.png in your userbox, it is a blatant violation of our non-free content policy which limits the usage of non-free media to article only. It was not shared for wikipedia to use, we are using it under the terms of fair use. Just because an image is on wikipedia does not mean it can be used on your user page. Only free media can be. As for notifying you it is not required, and doubles the amount of work necessary for someone cleaning up the violations there where over 700 such violations when I started. Most are quite harmless mistakes by users who are not familiar with the policy. If you have questions please let me know, and remember to please remain civil at all times.

Please review WIKI policy on dont be a dick. I shall remain civil. While you are by rule not obligated to be civil in letting people know that you are changing user boxes, per policy of course. Civility, would assume that any person would have the base instinct to say, golly, I am about to change thousands of images. While a person does not own their user page, it is again, basic civility to not snidely drop a link and walk away. AND yes, it was snide. Believe it or not, MOSt people, on Wikipedia and the real world do not quote a policy link and walk away. The logic of thi encyclopedia is to encourage editing. I cant tell you how inspiring it is, toquote a policy and then chide me about how I dont own it, with yet another policy quote......Pardon me while I wipe the sweat of eager anticipation off of my brow....Coal town guy (talk) 22:13, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

So far in this discussion you have used the phrase fuck and called me a dick. I however have remained calm, and attempted to explain policy to you. 99% of the removals no one has issues with, however on occasion there are a few users that do not understand policy, or decide to cause drama over it. With 700+ removals needed I am not going to make 1400+ edits to do what should not be necessary in the first place. When removing a file from non-articles leaving a pointer to the relevant policy which explains why said removal was done is sufficient. There isn't a need to double ones work just to leave a nice pretty note on someone's talk page. We have edit summaries for a reason, and I use them for that. Werieth (talk) 02:55, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

You removed File:Homer_Simpson_2006.png from my WP:Teahouse/Hosts profile. I was quite upset, and about to ream you a new one... However, after following the link to the sections pertaining it, I would instead like to request that {{Non-free promotional}} and other similar templates that are used on files that fall under this restriction have a note added to them "This image is only allowed to be used in the main namespace on articles. FMI: WP:NFCC#9." Something as simple as that would have prevented me from using the file, or properly requesting use of it up front. It is very agitating to invest time and effort into something and have it reverted or deleted outright. That line in those templates used on those types of files "may" reduce some of the hurt feelings and rantings such as ctg has posted above, unless your some sicko that is into that sort of thing (j/k ) — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 22:56, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

I didnt think it was necessary to modify those those templates, they already include Any other usage of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, might be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content which includes WP:NFC#9. To my knowledge every non-free file has that or similar wording. But a general rule is when using or re-using any non-free media is to ensure that every use meets WP:NFCC Werieth (talk) 02:44, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Dear sir or ma'am,

The images on User:Sundogs/Gameplay of The Sims 3 is a subpage for The Sims 3 which I have copied and pasted onto my subpage for editing prior to R.F.C. status. Please make sure you do research prior to deletion. Thank you. Sundogs ^{talk page sandbox} 03:53, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
