Image:WisenthalOWU.jpg[edit]

Regarding your recent upload, Image:WisenthalOWU.jpg, who are the people photographed in this image, and who took the photograph? Hall Monitor 20:30, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The information that you asked has been recorded at the upload on the site that uses it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Simonwies (talk • contribs) 20:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC) ^[1]

Well, yes, that is partially true. There are several reasons I asked;

There is no description of the image at the image page, Image:WisenthalOWU.jpg, it simply says "Taken by user:Simonwies in 2001" in the summary, nothing else.
Following the article which links to this image, it says in the caption: "Former Wesleyan President David Warren, Simon Wiesenthal and in 1991 at a reception for his honorary degree".
Not including the fifth person whose face is obstructed by the gentleman on the far left, there are four people who appear in this photograph. The description provided within the article does not indicate which of the two are David Warren and Simon Wiesenthal.
Strangely, the image is titled WisenthalOWU.jpg rather than WiesenthalOWU.jpg.
Going back to my first bullet point, the image summary states "Taken by user:Simonwies". Are you Simon Wiesenthal, a friend, or a fan?

Please get back to me regarding these concerns at your earliest convenience. Best regards, Hall Monitor 20:52, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Provide what exactly you want me to provide? (a) Who is taken by? (already provides as you noticed) (b) List of all people in the photograph? Simonwies 20:56, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It is rather unclear who is in the photograph and who the photographer actually is. At your convenience, please respond to all of my concerns noted above when you have a chance. Thanks, Hall Monitor 21:03, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Don't have the time to write essays here. Provide exactly what it is that you want to see: (1) Who took the photograph? (I answered that question already...Taken by user:Simonwies looks pretty clear to me) (2) Who is the photograph? (I will provide that information). (c) Anything else specific?

With the best interests of Wikipedia in mind, I have removed this image from the article until you can thoroughly address these concerns. Please respond in full when you have the time. Best regards, Hall Monitor 21:15, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't overstep your authority or I will address the issue with another administrator. Follow the guidelines. They specify that whoever uploads it should specify (1) Who took the picture (anybody who can read english can understand that already from the image page (2) who is in it (I just added that information. (3) Whether I am a fan is irrelevant to you and the guidelines here. Please respond or I will address it with somebody else Simonwies 21:21, 28 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that I have been unreasonable or overstepped my bounds in any way, please do not hesitate to bring this before another administrator or mediator on Wikipedia for third party intervention. A more effective use of your time would be to provide the information requested, but should you wish to take the route of escalation, a full list of administrators is available at Wikipedia:List of administrators (WP:LA).
