File:ClydeFitch.jpg
Gday, this file has been deleted as no fair use rationale. I am not sure whether that is appropriate for the photo of a person who died more than one hundred years ago; such it would seem unlikely that the photo would now be covered by copyright.

The Original Barnstar | |
| to one of the nicest people in Wikipedia Suomi Finland 2009 (talk) 19:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC) |
- Thanks, I really appreciate that :) J Milburn (talk) 21:12, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- You deserve it! I thought of giving 3 barnstars to 3 nice people and quickly thought of 3 nice Wikipedians. One of them is nice but not uniformly liked because he writes hundreds of articles of obscure historical figures from the American state of Louisiana, a couple dozen which have been deleted.

Cry Cry Cry photos
Howdy, I just logged in for the first time in months and found some notices you sent me regarding photos in the Cry Cry Cry article. Both were tagged as lacking a fair use rational and have since been deleted. I do believe such rational had at one time been included. It is possible that someone at one time removed the rational (maybe for a reason, maybe not), but there is no way for me to check the history since they've been deleted. Is it possible to have this reviewed, or perhaps undeleted so that the rational may be added or restored.
Thanks for any help. -MrFizyx (talk) 22:27, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
Image galleries
Hi J Milburn, I want to clarify something. I removed an extensive image gallery in Sinhala article of Dambulla cave temple yesterday. Then si:User:Srimalpunchi has undone my edit. Since Sinhala wikipedia doesn't have its own policies and guidelines, I explained him it doesn't comply with WP:NOTREPOSITORY and WP:Galleries. Although he gave a bizarre interpretation of these two, I humbly believe my edit is quite legitimate. Here is the link to the discussion. In the English article we have had removed the image gallery twice. The first time and second time by myself. I just wanted to check my policy knowledge and hope you would tell me whether my edit is alright or not. Be your answer endorsing my view, however I will not quote it as a reference back in SIWIKI. Just wanna feel alright about it. Thanks in advance and regards--Chanaka L (talk) 06:51, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you very much for the clarification. Sinhala Wikipedia doesn't have a policy or a guideline saying that its Wikipedians should follow the policies and guidelines of English Wikipedia. Sinhala Wikipedians just quote enwiki because siwiki doesn't have any policies. It's just a common practice because there should be something to arbitrate the disputes in siwiki. Seems like it doesn't cause any harm in continuing the way I've used to do with the image gallerias in here. As I told above I won't use this as a reference, and sincerely thanks for your thoughts.--Chanaka L (talk) 02:35, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
DYK for Crinipellis zonata
 | On 20 August 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Crinipellis zonata, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

House of the People - Fair Use
Is it your understanding that there is not a fair use for this image for any of the articles in which it is used? It is a unique image of an historic event, specifically the anticlerical expropriation of a church in Spain during the civil war. Even if the building existed today, a photograph of it would be inadequate because it would not have the moniker which it has in the image. Mamalujo (talk) 21:50, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Comment
You are entitled to your opinion.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 16:40, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
See the nomination
I chalk this one up to my ignorance, but I'll be less destruction in the future in the form of comment only. Sorry, but I agree that it's really deserving. Good luck. Gut Monk (talk) 22:32, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

- Okay, what did I do that the image isn't showing up in this template or on the article page? I did the same thing I do every time! Help? Makeemlighter (talk) 01:18, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
Move didnt work
I tried to move Ethnic discrimination in Israel to Ethnic and racial discrimination in Israel as described in WP:Move but I got the error message:
The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. Please choose another name, or use Requested moves to ask an administrator to help you with the move. Do not manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text.
The new name is already a REDIRECT link to the original name. That is why I did a manual re-name. I just tried it again, and the same error message appears.
Do you have any suggestions? Would you mind doing the move? See discussion on Talk page for rationale for the move. --Noleander (talk)

- Ok thanks for your advice, I'll get round to nominating it some day. I've agfticked the DYK now. Smartse (talk) 17:13, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
!decurrent
Hi JM, I noticed your addition to the lamella (mycology) page (which I agree is a stubby mess). Lactarius subdulcis, however, has adnate, not decurrent gills. Go for Cantharellus if you want an example of prominently decurrent gills :) I'm working in the background on the stipe article, which is in a similar state. It's been quite challenging actually, as I'm preparing a table to list all the terms mycologists use to describe stipes, and trying to find a representative photo for each. If I'm lucky, I might get it finished this year... Sasata (talk) 18:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Someone removed most of the images that had consensus on the talk page, and replaced them with images from the anime, with improper names and rationale, and which were redundant to the lead image. As a result of the agreed upon images being removed, they were soon deleted. I've reverted the edit, retaining as much valid additions as possible, but I can't reupload the images due to their deletion. Could you, please? All of the deleted images (which were agreed upon by you and me) are linked to on the main article. You can also see the new, non fair use images by looking a few revisions back. Thanks!208.249.136.187 (talk) 20:19, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- We hardly agreed upon them... The article needs considerable work, maybe even merging somewhere. What it doesn't need is a slew of non-free images. J Milburn (talk) 20:23, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
- I explained on the talk page why the images there were needed, and you said it was good. If the images are not okay, I'd like you to continue the discussion with what is lacking. Regardless, the images that were recently there were entirely redundant to the lead image.208.249.136.187 (talk) 20:48, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
