- I love Jack and Daniels little interactions too! The character developement in the show is great. Jack doesn't seem too bright sometimes, but is witty and intelligent when he wants to be. Daniel and Teal'c have their funny moments too. I also like the fact that Jack is a Simpsons fan. PrometheusX303 13:51, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Minor edits
[edit]Hey, thanks for pointing that out; I guess I've just ignored that ever since I made every edit minor by default in my preferences. I removed the Aung San Suu Kyi photo from the Politics section of the Myanmar article due to objections made by 2 users. I've been trying to gain support to make the Myanmar article featured (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Myanmar), and it seems that some users do not feel that the photo be there. If you'd like to argue for the photo, please do so. Thanks. Hintha 03:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

She meant that the servants were all gay. As to the "quips and humour," well...maybe that has more character, but really: they're pretty bland, don't you think?Masalai 03:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
True, true, but you ought to have seen how the article looked a while back when it appeared substantially to have been written by contributers to the Women's Weekly, circa 1951 ("She had a never complain, never explain attitude that carried her through many heartaches" and like that). Masalai 04:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm not wildly committed to the bare-as-bones "Quotations" rather than "Reported quips and humour"; if you think it's really better, go ahead. My effort was calculated to tone down the breathlessness of previous drafts without descending to the mildly silly criticisms that some seem to delight in inserting. Possibly "Reported quips" as a compromise? Masalai 14:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
On the other hand (not to leave a dead horse unkicked) characterising the quotations as humour, quips, etc. somewhat prevents one from adding un-humorous quotations. I was just about to add the business about President Jimmy Carter kissing her and her reacting that nobody had done that since her husband died. Which is not exactly funny, but is nonetheless entertaining -- especially for those of us who found Jimmy Carter mildly cringe-making when he was in office.Masalai 18:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Flagging down admins
[edit]Hi TransUtopian: I noticed your comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Moogle Mafia about "flagging down" admins. There are a number of ways to get administrator attention, depending on the circumstance. For WP:AFD's, there's no need to contact anyone, they will be closed within a few days: often there is a great backlog that takes a while to clear. For other things, the administrator's noticeboard is a good place to get admin attention, or you can just contact an active admin from this list directly (or you could just contact me :-) —Mets501 (talk) 15:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the headsup. If I looked at AfD's more than a few days past freshness, I'd probably see they're all closed. Didn't think of it. I know some are relisted if there's not much discussion, but I didn't know if some slip through the cracks considering 100-200 per day. I knew about WP:AN but not WP:LOA, so thanks for that too! TransUtopian 15:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
- No problem. Basically no AFDs ever slip through the cracks, because Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Old is maintained by a bot, saying exactly how many AFDs are still open on a given day. —Mets501 (talk) 15:36, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Numbers of PMs
[edit]I can't cite, because, obviously, it's impossible to prove a negative. But, apart from the fact that it's just never done, it's an essentially silly thing to do with British Prime Ministers — the position wasn't even official until 1905, and before that there is often extreme doubt as to who, if anyone was, Prime Minister, and if certain short-lived ministries or attempted ministries really count. Saying "X was Prime Minister" is sometimes dodgy enough, without being so absolutely certain as to assign a number to him. Proteus (Talk) 15:38, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Ann-Richards-Senate-photo.jpg
[edit]How did you locate that image? It's really nice and looks official, but I can't find a link to it, aside from the direct one you provided, in the News section or via search on Senator Dorgan's site. I didn't list it for deletion, but the person who did does have a point. If it can be verified it's a work of the US federal government, it's PD. State governments aren't carte blanche PD, from what I understand. TransUtopian 22:57, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
- Hello, TransUtopian. If that Senate image is causing trouble, I can create another equivalent image quickly, as a closeup portrait. Let me know. That image of Ann Richards was displayed on a webpage that U.S. Senator Dorgan used to announce a conference event about Women's Health; a similar announcement also occurred at WHWL ("Women's Health ~ Women's Lives") [on the Whwl.org webpage: WHWL-Speakers2005]; however, the similar image of Ann Richards at WHWL is only 7865 bytes, not the same hi-resolution file size as the image on Senator Dorgan's website. The Senate photo seems to be a full-size PR photo perhaps distributed for Ann Richards by her entourage, but I could not find any webpage that claimed a copyright for that photo, and I cannot verify the origin of that photo. Again: I can create another equivalent image quickly from a public-domain photo, as a closeup portrait. Let me know. Thanks. -Wikid77 23:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit]"Two Strikes" is not (yet) an official policy. It's my personal policy, and one that I've encouraged other admins to adopt. You're correct in that it's a simplified way of expressing "placing the blatantvandal and test4 templates on a user's talk page within minutes of each other and having the person vandalise again a couple minutes later". Template:Two may provide some illumination; note the somewhat informal language. DS 12:34, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Blocking Vandals
[edit]Many thanks for the helpful advice. Together we will fight the scumbags who vandalise this work !!! Pete Orme 10:28, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Re: User block question
[edit]Hey, there. The blocking policy is a little fuzzy on the matter, by my understanding -- there are admins out there who will indefblock an account if its first two edits are vandalism, and there are those who treat new accounts just as they would an IP, starting with 24/31 hour blocks. I think in my case, it depends on how malicious the user seems. Which I suppose is pretty subjective. It was once suggested that the real purpose of indeffing vandalism-only accounts was to break up their contribs; if they can only ever get a few edits in before being blocked, no one will ever have the misfortune of mistaking them for experienced users. Or something like that. It rarely ever hurts to report a vandal to AIV -- even if they're not blocked, they'll frequently at least get watched and/or warned. So, with that in mind, it's always good to see somebody patrolling for vandals. :) Thanks for that, I think it's important. Regards, Luna Santin 15:25, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Astronomical vandalism?
[edit]Why did you block User talk:198.83.126.254? I don't see any obvious vandalism after 3 October, unless my only basic knowledge of astronomy prevents me from preceiving the vandalism to the various topics today. (If you're wondering why I'm asking, I saw this reported on AIV when I reported someone else, and am surprised/confused by this block.) TransUtopian 17:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hello and thank you for your enquiry! The reason for the blocking is becuase the IP editor was adding many unsourced and unverified references to astronomical articles, such as [1], [2] and [3] to the Astronomical object article. The reason that these edits are vandalism is because the article doesn't mix hypothetical objects with measured and studied objects. Hypothetical objects should be listed in List of hypothetical astronomical objects instead. The same with this edit, which mixes the now-disproven with the actual objects in the Saturnian system. The reason why this is a block and not a blatantvandal warning is because of the extent of the edits and that the IP editor has received repeated final warnings but has still persisted. If they choose to use the unblock function and can make a reasonable case as to the validity of their edits then the block can be lifted. I am quite prepared to admit fault if the evidence can be presented to me but the evidence that I have shown above leads me to believe otherwise. Regards, (aeropagitica) 18:13, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I see now that the edits to Astronomical object are antithetical to the first sentence on that page, but are the edits to the other pages also vandalism? For example, the Saturn's natural satellites diff adds a disproven body to one already there. Should that be reverted (it's still top) or the sentence removed? There's several other edits that haven't been reverted that I'm not sure if they're good or bad.
Also, the repeated final warnings resulted from ten edits around 01:00 UTC 3 October, such as this one. The IP's talk page history shows no warning or discussion with the user re: the Astronomical object edits. Those and this one were bad, but the others, including one which was reverted, seem like good edits.
I'm also quite prepared to admit fault not being certain the other edits are good or at least good faith, or if there's something else I'm missing, but please consider what I've said. TransUtopian 18:39, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- You make some good points. It is possible that not all of the edits are vandalistic in intent or result; it is possible that they were all made in good faith. The point about contributing to Wikipedia is that that the contributions are backed-up by sources, references and citations, where appropriate. The block was made on the basis of systematic inclusion of theoretical astronomical bodies in an article about actual astronomical bodies. The systematic nature of the edits demonstrates intent and subtle vandalism is still vandalism.
- Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. No one can do everything. What we can do is to check our facts and also ensure that our edits are made appropriately. If you have a question about an editor's decision, you can either ask the editor directly or be bold and confirm or revert the edit based upon reliable sources that you have checked. The burden of proof is upon the editor including the facts. If they cannot supply a reliable source for their assertions then the facts can be questioned by anyone. All articles are open for review all the time. You are not at fault for questioning some edits rather than others. You are also not at fault for either attempting to verify questionable edits or marking those edits as requiring verification by other editors. Regards, (aeropagitica) 21:28, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi there. I'm checking about your opinion about the latest edits by Groggy Dice for the article 2005 Alexandria riot, as you made the latest edits just before him. The refrence says: Three people have died during a riot outside a Coptic church in Alexandria, Egypt, after a protest against a play accused of offending Islam. So it's not an anti-Christian riot...and not "felt", but it's a fact.
Thanks for your concern. --TheEgyptian 00:23, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Images of Lost characters
[edit]Greetings. Five images of characters from Lost (TV show) were listed on WP:CP. I replaced the copyright tags, and gave a fair use rationale for each. I believe it is a fair use of the images to use them in articles about the fictional characters -- howevery, it is not "fair use" to use the same images in articles about the actors. (This is because anyone could take a photo of the actor and release it under a free license; but a photo of the character would violate HBO's copyright no matter what.) For this reason, I kept the images, but removed them from articles about the actors.
Unfortunately, two of the images, Image:Lost-claire.jpg and Image:Lost-jin.jpg, are now orphans. If these images are not used in articles about the characters, they will be deleted in seven days. (The articles Claire Littleton and Jin-Soo Kwon exist and have an image already each, although the images are incorrectly tagged.) Do what you will.
Just keeping you in the loop. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (random) 18:13, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hello again. You asked why the images of the characters didn't qualify as "fair use" in the pages about the actors. That's a good question, and the answer is complicated.
- As you well know, Claire Littleton is a fictional character. There is no way to illustrate her that would not violate Touchstone's copyright. (I assume it's Touchstone that hold's the copyright.) Even if you drew a picture of her yourself -- in fact, even by describing her -- you're violating Touchstone's copyright. That's not a problem, of course, because that would clearly be "fair use" under U.S. law ("fair dealing" in Australia). But the point is, there is no possible way that anyone could create a picture of Claire Littleton that would be truly "free".
- Now the actress, Emilie de Ravin, is a real person. Using the image of her playing Claire Littleton would legally be "fair use" under U.S. copyright law, but on the other hand, it would be possible to take a photo of her (or draw a picture of her) and release it under a free license. A free replacement image might exist, and if none exist, one could be created.
- Until recently, Wikipedia had a fairly permissive attitude about fair use. But recently, the rules have tightened up. If a free image exists or could be created, then even if it would be very difficult to create that fair image, we can't use a non-free one. We used to keep the non-free one until a free one is found, but not anymore. That's why we can't use the Emilie image to illustrate what Claire looks like.
- All the best, – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:31, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. One more thing. You'll note that the Emilie article contains an image of her playing Brenda in The Hills Have Eyes. Why is that okay, you may wonder? The answer is that the image in the article is obviously not being used to illustrate what the actress looks like. It's in the "filmography" section, not the lead. It isn't in the actor infobox. It isn't even large. So yes, it would be possible to use the image of Claire in the Emilie article so long as it is clearly being used to illustrate the character, and not the actress. (It can't be in the infobox, or at the top, etc.) This may seem like a fine line, but the principle is that you can't use a non-free image to illustrate what a free image could illustrate. Make sense? – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:37, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
"Could be created"? Can you link me to the policy update for that please? TransUtopian 14:36, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sure. It's at Wikipedia:Fair use criteria (included at Wikipedia:Fair use), right there at the top of criterion #1. Discussion is here. – Quadell (talk) (random) 14:43, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Serena St Germaine.jpg)
[edit]Thanks for uploading Image:Serena St Germaine.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

I promoted it to ITN on the reasoning that the removal of a state executive is, IMO, notable whether the subject himself is or not (though I'd figure it is inherent). Seemed obvious to me that this was more than Wikinews, which is why I skipped the discussion phase.
As to the portal, thanks for letting me know, I was not aware of the duplication being needed in the editing, I thought it was transcluded. Learn something new every day ;)
And lastly, I still think that it should be on the main page. While I can understand Spencer's logic in that it needs more information to make it encyclopedic and not just news, I personally don't think that anymore should or could be added to the article on the Blagojevich scandal at the time and it is a pretty descriptive article.
No matter it all, thanks for the input and the learning opportunity from all three. Keegantalk 06:11, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Astley jones.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please remove the tag.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 01:50, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
