Neon Knights Page
Hey you never got back to me on my last question. You said you would reinstate the Neon Knights (Band) page once a few adjustments had been made. What adjustments are these? Thanks
- Er. I happened to notice this post just now. If still applicable, could the person who posted this indicate somewhere so I know who posted? Thanks, FASTILY (TALK) 01:00, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Its me (vansheboy), just wondering what changes I need to make to get page back up as per our last discussion that was removed. Thanks
- Looks like the page was WP:PROD'd. Did I tell you I could restore the page for you if you wanted? Although FWIW, I recommend having a draft restored to your userspace so you can work on it there before moving it to the mainspace. Your call though. -FASTILY (TALK) 19:07, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily. I need a bit of clue: how does this List of libraries in Thailand, and all the individual items on it, fit within our notability critera? Thanks for your help. --Kudpung (talk) 02:45, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Well, I don't claim to be an expert of any sort on notability, but I had a look at the article. I dug around in some policy/guideline pages and came up with WP:L and WP:DOAL. WP:L makes no mention of notability as it has to do with Lists. WP:DOAL, point 5, implies that list entries that cannot be reliably sourced may be removed. I then did a Google search for some of the entries in the list. Not surprisingly, the National Library of Thailand appeared to have the most third party media coverage. If you're unsure of what to do, remember that AfD or WP:RFF are all viable methods for requesting community review and dispelling uncertainty. Of course, you could also PROD the article, but, your call of course. Hope that helps. Best, FASTILY (TALK) 06:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

my vandalism work
I think i can handle rollback i have read the entire page on rollback, done probably about 50 reverts of real vandalism, is that not the requirement forrollback? Why are you making such a big deal out of this. You have never once added up my total number of "real reverts" have you not? Inka 888 02:59, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
"Inka 888's Request for Rollback" on ANI
I just wanted to make you aware with 100% of the respondents saying "endorse decline" and none saying "oppose decline", I have closed and archived the thread on ANI as "Good Decline. Inka 888 should wait a reasonable length of time before reasking for Rollback." If you feel the thread should be reopened and more responses are necessary, please feel free to reopen the thread, just please let me know. If you have any questions as to my close response, my talk page is always open. Take Care...Neutralhomer • Talk • 04:10, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, alright with me. Thanks for taking care of that. Best, FASTILY (TALK) 06:36, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- Just a final note on this, since I archived/closed it, the bot has come by and put it in an archive file. There is another ANI thread open about Inka 888 if you wish to speak on that one, though it is not necessary. Hope all is well. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:58, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
Lisa Shaw (singer)
Hey Fastily,
That Lisa Shaw page shouldn't have been deleted. I'm new around here and don't understand the policies all that well, but Lisa Shaw should be on wikipedia. She's something of a legend in the house music world. Check her out on youtube, if you like.
Thanks

- The page was deleted per the prod process. This means I can restore it for you if you like, but I strongly recommend keeping a copy in your userspace and work on bringing the article up to standard there as to avoid needless re-deletion. How does that sound? -FASTILY (TALK) 06:44, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
This refers to our earlier discussion here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Fastily/Archive_5#Aloha_Editor.2C_deleted_page. Before I move the page back to articlespace I was wondering if you would mind to have a brief look whether it is good enough already? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Othertwice1504/Aloha_Editor Mainly took TinyMCE and CKEditor pages for reference to meet the same standard. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks. Othertwice1504 (talk) 11:22, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Looks much better. I think it's ready to be moved to the mainspace. Feel free to do so at your discretion. -FASTILY (TALK) 06:46, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
An image
I have run across the image File:Blink-182_tour_picture_two.jpg, and am unsure how to deal with it. Two of the parent images where deleted by yourself here and here for lacking license information. I was thinking F11, since it's impossible to determine the copyright status of the original images. Rehevkor ✉ 22:47, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
- Indeed, F11 applies. Accordingly, I've tagged the file for deletion for deletion under F11 with {{subst:npd}} as a derivative work derived from photos missing evidence of permission. That should solve the problem. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 06:49, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
are you kidding me
do you even read edits before you revert them or do you just see an angry edit summary and get all "take this, vandal!"
you have restored incorrect unsourced text overtop of accurate sourced text. you moron. 76.66.93.87 (talk) 01:48, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

- Hi Fastily, your revert has been reverted by the anon. In addition, the reason for the revert is "moron" which I suspect may have been directed at you from the tone presented above. Accordingly, I have warned the anon on their Talk Page. I believe (from the anon's and your edit history) that the article in contention is: Habitual be. The rest is all covered in the page's history and on the anon's talk page. Best, RobertMfromLI | User Talk 06:53, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Deletion opinion
When you get a chance, could you check out this article for deletion? It needs some more eyes and I'd definitely like to see some additional opinions. --JonRidinger (talk) 05:07, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Help for Apacer Technology Inc
Hi,
I just see you deleted the page of Apacer Technology Inc I did, without even giving me a chance to modify it. I did not promote anything, it was a very simple page, with many links towards other wikipedia sites. I used the example of Apple and kept a simple language. Why San Disk is allowed to have a Wiki page, and Apacer not?
Is there any content that I can post and stay online or I should just give up?
Thank you for your taking your time to reply (in case you will).

Your deletion of photograph: File:St. Pius X school crest.jpg
I am requesting an explanation of your deletion of the file St. Pius X school crest.jpg. 1. As explained in the deletion debate, the file was legally acquired under Irish law. 2. Your deletion note said, "The result of the debate was delete", however, the only one who voted for delete was the original proposer. The others who took part in the debate voted for keep, so I do not understand how "the result of the debate" was delete. I am planning to appeal this decision on these grounds but I thought I would see if perhaps a misunderstanding had occurred, first. Thank you. --O'Dea (talk) 19:09, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- I deleted the file because of the egregious interpretation of FOP that was being applied to back the keep !votes. Remember that PUF discussions are not a poll and that deletion discussions are judged on the basis of the validity of the points raised. Since none of the rationale provided for the keep !votes was valid, I deleted the file accordingly. For future reference: FOP applies to images of entire buildings and statues ONLY; it is unacceptable to zoom in and photograph a logo on the side of a building and claim it as free content under FOP. Hope that helps to clarify. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 00:51, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- I maintain that my use of COM:FOP#Ireland is entirely valid and certainly not egregious as you argue. Let's look at the actual text of the law: "...sculptures...and works of artistic craftsmanship" may be reproduced. The law does not maintain that only entire buildings may be photographed, as you say, but clearly identifies that subsidiary elements may be photographed such as "sculptures and craftmanship", such as carving details and finishes, fairly small details. The law nowhere prohibits isolation of detail of a work in a public place: "The copyright in a work...is not infringed by...making a photograph or film of it" and the wording explicitly embraces building elements because they are displayed in public. Do you think this is allowed by FOP, File:Gonzaga College Crest.jpg? (See image description, too.) --O'Dea (talk) 16:42, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I'll look into it. -FASTILY (TALK) 18:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, thank you. You see, I was thinking of going at the question this way, too: I have a picture of the school gates with pillars, with the buildings in the background. Then I have a picture of just the pillars with gates between them. The school crest is up there publicly for all to see (and photgraph, I submit); the crest is not private. Then I have a picture of just one pillar. Finally, a picture showing a close-up of the crest on the pillar. Now, at what point does a picture become invalid, by your lights, along that continuum — and how do you know where to draw the line? I can take a picture of a church: are you saying I can't use a picture where I isolate a gargoyle or sheela-na-gig? (See detail pictures at those two articles, please, showing legitimate use of building detail; they support my case.) I submit that Irish law says I can capture an image of craftsmanship, including artwork on a school pillar. --O'Dea (talk) 19:15, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- Have a look at these building details from Wikicommons: Sign and logo; corporate logo/sign, plaque detail, plaque detail, organization logo. The taking of pictures of public phenomena is legitimate and legally protected in many countries. --O'Dea (talk) 19:29, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of page
I am not sure whom to contact.
You just deleted the Avail-TVN page due to my username matching the page. As a new Wikipedia user, I was unaware that I couldn't do this. The only changes that were made to the Avail-TVN page were updating the company name and logo. There wasn't anything written that was different than what had been online for some time.
Can you please bring the page back to allow me to make edits?

Tosca Lee Wikipedia Author
Fastily,
You recently deleted the wikipedia article for Author Tosca Lee.
I am curious why this page was deleted. The Tosca Lee article is linked to several other articles on Wikipedia and is just a quick introduction to this well-known author.
Can you please verify why this was deleted and provide feedback on how this article can be revised to pass the appropriate requirements?
Thanks, Katie Weaver 174.157.228.12 (talk) 23:54, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
- Do you have an account registered with Wikipedia? It would make it easier for me to reply to your query if I knew which editor you were, as, I wasn't able to tell through looking at the article's deleted revisions. -FASTILY (TALK) 00:57, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Your decision in regards to File:Special Tribunal for Lebanon logo.jpg
Hello, you recently closed the discussion into File:Special Tribunal for Lebanon logo.jpg here. You said the result of the debate was "delete" although no one voted for deletion (other than the nominator) and my comment to the contrary was never addressed. Could you please reconsider your decision or at the very least provide a reason for your decision? – Zntrip 03:27, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- In your comment at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2010 August 25#File:Special Tribunal for Lebanon logo.jpg, you state you "think" the file is free, but do you know for sure? This was the entire reason as to why the file was listed at WP:PUF in the first place. Provide me with the document/website that provides solid evidence indicating the file is indeed free content and I'll restore the file. -FASTILY (TALK) 03:34, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Hey I tried (twice) to write an article about a music festival- The Ashland Mind Music Festival. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashland_Mind_Music_Festival Both times it was removed- due to 'unambiguous promotion.'

Category:Recipients of the Silver Buffalo Award
Nyttend just restored this after he deleted it, after I raised the lack of clear consensus at CfD (one keep and one delete within a few months), then you come along and delete it again.

Image copyright
Hi, you deleted File:Carl freer.jpg for a lack of licensing information. If I remember correctly, the uploader, User:Truthmaker1, had claimed that the copyright belonged to Carl Freer. A virtually identical image has now been uploaded by the same user as File:Carl freer 1.jpg. This time the uploader claims to hold the copyright and releases the image under a Creative Commons license. To make matters more interesting, the image has been added to the article by an IP editor who also claims to hold the copyright. I have no idea whether the IP editor, User:Truthmaker1 and Carl Freer are one, two or three persons. I've asked Truthmaker1 for clarification, but he has not yet responded. Should anything be done, and if so, what? Yours, Huon (talk) 17:11, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
- In that case, I think the file may be possibly unfree/copyrighted. I'll list it at WP:PUF. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 18:44, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
