User talk:Scamdex
I have removed this image as I consider it to be problematic. Can you tell me (and evidence) how you came to be the owner of this image? CassiantoTalk 21:26, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
[scamdex] I have not the faintest idea how to reply to you on this medium and I don't have time to learn. I'm not sure what you mean by problematic, but I bought a bundle of three old theatrical posters at an antique fair here in California. I had them linen-mounted and reframed.There is no question that all three are genuine - I recently added them all to wiki pages ('My Lady Frayle', 'The Snowman' and 'Geo Robey') becuase I had never seen the images before and the Geo Robey one is spectacularly beautiful and I felt it needed to be shared. I did expect some interest, I'm not sure what you're getting at. Please enlighten me.
...Also plz let me know if you read this message. Your message was pretty pompous - however much you think your work is wonderful, this is a wiki and an over protective attitude to your pet subject such as you display makes infrequent contributors such as I hesitant to even attempt.
- If you bought three old theatrical posters and took pictures, you cannot claim them as your own work. They are derivative of whoever created the theatrical poster.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 11:19, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

I see you have been here a while. Unfortunately--
[edit]A little late to bring you these tidings, but your user page is too promotional to meet WP:user page, and your very username is non conforming with WP:user name. To save typing and leave a clearer message, I'll add templated messages-- fewer typos.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 11:25, 14 March 2018 (UTC)
