Magazine Covers and Stuff

In case you overlooked my previous complaint...

As you know better than anyone, an image of a magazine cover is fair use for an article about that magazine. So why did you delete the cover images for Stuff (magazine) and Blender (magazine) despite our previous dialogue? If there's a minor problem with the image tag, fix that if you like, but don't obliterate the images that obviously are not a copyright violation. I cannnot figure out how to retrieve the cover images you deleted for Stuff (magazine) and Details (magazine) so I'd appreciate your help. Thanks Ghosts&empties 03:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, I haven't had the chance to go back and verify. I'm not ignoring you. My understanding is the following. Legally, we are probably permitted to use a magazine cover to depict the magazine generally. However, Wikipedia policy, which is more restrictive than the law requires (for example, no copyrighted images in user space, no matter what the rationale) still does not permit this. I haven't had the chance to double-check to see if this has changed recently so I may be out to lunch. I am sorry that you and I are running up against this. --Yamla 03:32, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A block....

My username is Dwslassls...Why did you block me? It says for "multiple vandalism"...I'm going to assume it is just my IP being blocked, but could you just clear that up please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwslassls (talk • contribs)

I've never given out a block to that username. That you can edit my talk page implies that you are not blocked. However, it is entirely possible that your IP address was blocked. If you let me know which IP address, I can look into it for you. --Yamla 18:08, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's an autoblock, from Tanerious (talk · contribs · page moves · current autoblocks · block log), I've been hitting them too--152.163.100.70 18:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
