removal of picture of Maynard Smith

Thanks for your effort to compensate for the removal of photo of JMS. The removal was a massive error by Wikimedia Commons as full permission to use was received by them... See below. If you have any influence can you help to get the Maynard Smith photo reinstated. This is VERY frustrating to say the least. Best wishes --HowieKor (talk) 03:33, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, it's not something I know much about. I've a little experience of modern copyright, fair-use and the like but no experience of OTRS and the like, and spend very little time on Commons.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:38, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

Resolved and restored now by the looks of it.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 02:16, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

Template:Tol

Why would you try to speedy delete Template:Tol? I don't understand. I hope we can resolve this without a big fuss. Yours aye,  Buaidh  19:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

As always it's best to discuss this at the relevant discussion page.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 20:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

The merits of this template seem to have little to do with your actions. Perhaps we should discuss this offline.  Buaidh  21:57, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Template:LI redo

Substituting Template:Ll renders a simple template unintelligible. Yours aye,  Buaidh  19:13, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
