Speedy deletion of File:1930s photo of the foreshore above Jeffrey Street 001 001004.jpg

hello Orangemike

Apologies if I missed earlier warnings, or if the file was incorrectly tagged however can I check please your speedy deletion of this photograph. The photograph was important to the article. The reference citation in the article on Jeffrey Street was as follows and my recollection is that a similar citation was present on the photo page:

"View to St. Aloysius' College above foreshores of Kirribilli" (photo). 1 copyprint; b&w; 204 x 254 mm, This photograph shows construction on foreshores of Kirribilli above Jeffrey Street. Above the foreshores is St. Aloysius; College incorprating Dr. Cox's home. Whilst barely visible above the trees is the tower of Star of the Sea Church. The homes Greencliffe and Craiglea are also visible on the right hand side above M. Steel boatshed. Jeffrey Street Wharf and Jeffrey Street: North Sydney Council, original publisher unknown. 1930s. Retrieved 27 June 2010. Image 001\001004

The file appears on the Local Government website and the source attributes the photo to "c 1930s". I thought (mistakenly) that all of the correct tags has been used both in the article and also on the photo page. I refer also to the Australian Copyright Council which states that in Australia Copyright has expired in photos taken prior to 1 January 1955. This photograph is therefore approximately 20 years out of copyright. Refer to the copyright regulation here.

<http://www.copyright.org.au/find-an-answer/browse-by-what-you-do/photographers/>

Can I seek your advice please as to how to reverse this or what additional "public domain" style tag you feel was missing which should have been present on this photo to cover any other countries copyright laws etc? This photo has been on this article for almost four (4) years and this is the first time that the PD status / copyright of these very old photos has been raised as an issue.

Is my deleted article stored in the Wikipedia database?

I was told my article about Claudia Caporal was deleted because it was biased and I was too "close" to her to be able to write her article. Is there a way to rescue the writing I did for it so that I may then edit it to an appropriate stage for publishing? Thank you. KatieLee92 (talk)

Second consideration appreciated on Talk:Gregor Collins

Hi, Orange Mike, or other user - this is a request for a second look ie a consideration in deleting the "Some or all of this article's listed sources may not be reliable" note that has been on the Gregor Collins article since September of 2013. Reliable sources and additional, validated wiki links (including the recently approved article Goodbye Promise) have been provided in the interim, proving it a worthy candidate for no flags. I have no reason to be untruthful that this article is indeed associated with me but that is in no way an indication it is a puff piece or autobiographical piece, nor should it not be considered just as neutral as any other entry. If for some reason it's still considered flag-worthy I'd appreciate an updated explanation and what needs to be secured to have it fully approved. Thanks for your time. Gregorcollins (talk)

I've communicated with the creator by email and have walked her through requesting an unblock/username change. Could you take a look? (Can blocking admin unblock?)Naraht (talk) 21:01, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Don't be surprised if old User:CCPSmash doesn't response until Monday. We'll see if she replies directly or if she asks me first. I'm fine either way, as long as she understands. I'm using User:VZBob as a guide for her to see how it can be done.Naraht (talk) 01:27, 20 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

question , maybe advice ?

Hi Orangemike- I came across you only an hour ago and feel there's a kindred spirit. I've edited Aerotoxic syndrome in October, a problematic article, owned by EditorASC, whom you crossed path with I saw on ANI/NPOV re International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations in November. I dont know if you continued reading his response after you recused yourself. A very long tirade.

After seeing that today, I feel hopeless of lasting through an NPOV dispute that I declared with same EditorASC on Aerotoxic syndrome. Mr Boser appears to be a lonely person, with an unusual focus on just that page, and a declared POV. He has been hostile and non-cooperative. Though there were at least 2 supporters of change on the talkpage, as you can guess, nobody wants to stick their neck out. what to do? Editor ASC is threatening to take the flag off...

I may have dispute fatigue from another site I actively edit, Bitcoin, after we lost our second dispute with a similar kind of character; Today, I lost a 3rr filing for essentially unclear reasons.

Leaving WP sites because of people who own them? - and just then I read about the editor retention project on your user page - how awesome of you. I am quite impressed with your persona.

Hope you can help somehow, please advise, help me from dropping out..--Wuerzele (talk) 07:44, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oops

Oops wrong page for AussieLegend. Sorry. Thanks for informing me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Powerpokmon (talk • contribs) 13:31, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orangemike, thanks for your intervention at my user page but I'm not sure this was really a mistake as claimed above. I've been having troubles with Powerpokmon making peculiar edits to table screwing up the formatting and now, it looks like there's some sockpuppetry afoot.[1] --AussieLegend (✉) 13:43, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

AGF and all that. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:17, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
True. I assumed AGF and thought Powerpokmon was just a misguided editor engaging in sockpuppetry, but he's actually one sockpuppet of another editor, and now indefinitely blocked. --AussieLegend (✉) 00:26, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin Dictionary of History

Hi Mike-Some good news-the Wisconsin Dictionary of History is back on line! Yeah! This make editing easier. I sent a e-mail to the Wisconsin Historical Society asking that the dictionary be put back online and that the Wisconsin Historical Society put a weblink about Wisconsin Legislators Past and Present. The Minnesota Research Library has a Minnesota Legislators Past and Present link. Again my thanks-RFD (talk) 21:36, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

If we aren't supposed to edit other people's user pages, then why does Wikipedia let us? I think you should review Help:Contents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathewk1300 (talk • contribs) 06:52, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's a philosophical question. In part, it's because people by and large respect other folks' personal boundaries, without any enforcement effort. --Orange Mike | Talk 07:09, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

re: Gregor Collins

If you feel the sources are crap and there are now more flags than content, then in the interest of everyone I'd suggest deleting the Gregor Collins article entirely. It's getting ridiculous at this point.
