Please reverse your deletion

Would you please reverse the deletion of Category talk:Wikipedians who say CfD needs more diverse participants. It is a test of wikipedian behaviour. It has been said that the talk page of a category is a place that next to no one will ever find. The fact that it is the talk page of a relink single member category is merely part of the details. It is not a "test page" as per G2.

Please do tell me how you came to discover the page? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 10:04, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

• Ha, Wikipedia:Database reports/Orphaned talk pages! Thanks for the answer. probably that's the end of the experiment. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 06:47, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Curly Howard in Malace in the Palace

Why did you delete this image? It is not from the film and it is a composite of 2 photographs from the production.

File:MaliceInThePalace.jpg - F3 - improperly licensed as {{PD-self}} - deleted 18 Nov.

Image:CurlyMalice.jpg - F3 - improperly licensed as {{PD-self}} - deleted 19 Nov, removed from article at same time. You re-uploaded it on November 24 with the appropriate license. Skier Dude (talk) 04:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to come in but is Image:CurlyMalice.jpg a screenshot or a blown up part of the standard publicity image [1]. ? Just seem strange that somebody would take a screen shot at exactly the same moment that was used for the publicity images. MilborneOne (talk) 12:48, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

That scene was never used in the film. These are photographs from the production. Lou72JG (talk) 20:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

The Image:CurlyMalice.jpg does have artifacts & blur that make it seem to be indicative of a screenshot, as opposed to a cropping of the much better quality [2]. However, but Lou72JG has now just seemingly has contradicted himself - is the wiki image a "photographs from the production" or a screenshot? Skier Dude (talk) 02:36, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Have a look at this deleted file

Per this log I see that you deleted File:Visalia, CA.jpg for lack of permission. IIRC, I tagged the original image and both you (once) and I (twice) recently tagged the replacement image File:Visalia Infobox.jpg for lack of permission but the tag has been removed each time. Is this the same image with the same info? The issue, as I see it, is that the uploader is not the person who is claimed to be the source or author and besides the uploader adding a licence another editor Gemini818, who looks like a WP:SPA or maybe a sock, added some licence info but always without any evidence of permission. I would like to formally nominate it for deletion but want to confirm the previous image was the same or has similar info. Thanks. ww2censor (talk) 14:58, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Check out my note at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Visaliaguy - rather than tackling these one by one, as soon as the puppet investigation is closed I'm going to start a Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations listing, as some of the license changes were very suspect. Skier Dude (talk) 20:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Trying to piece together that damn SPI had me staring at some of those images, and staring and staring... I'm not even sure why; in 1-2 cases it might have been because an uploaded one had appeared in an edit by an IP, which is just weird and why a a couple low-count IPs might have been on my list. I was so tired by the end I can't even remember completely, I'm sorry. Actually that was my first SPI report at all so I'm surprised you and the clerk admin made sense of what I included without anything more required.

One in particular though just made my head hurt. It had been gone, then back, or renamed, then a second version added or, just, strange... I think it was eventually they got through via bulk "forum shopping" on patrols for images, or via really cruel nonsense like that (←) montage picture that VISTALA changed from Vistala's version had inexplicably removed 9 width and 10 height pixels which dropped the size 1.06K; can I take it the filter for "same version" is <1K? I google image searched that thing to death, any image by those sizes, slightly different ratios, other generic city pictures. I think my end opinion on that was the top and center-left were yanked from elsewhere, the bottom was possibly self-taken, and the center-right looks like a shot taken from some kind of city downtown webcam but obviously no proof. I then realized I'd wasted 45 minutes on just that and that I didn't even need to talk about the pictures to make the report more than deep enough. Only then did I notice how ridiculously long I'd taken to research since I was winging the whole SPI on the spot (for the ANI originally, actually) and I'm far too ashamed to confess on actual time. Strangely, I seem to get a 1hr++ case of some sort by accident every night. As long as the SPI is helpful for anything instead of a glorified working permit to deconstruct all the related articles, then the time was worth it. I already know there's some copied text from various placed in the about 30 articles that need AfDs or merging, and duck/gut check gave me the impression that some of the house pictures were taken from real estate listings.

Would you like any generic info on articles even if I'm just giving them copy edit treatment? If so, what info, or is it to your liking to somehow magically rearrange the contents into black magic? Well, you're an admin so I guess you also get the advantage of looking at deleted article histories, too, even if I nominate them to be banished. Oooh, I hate that rollbackers don't have that... it'd help so much on a user research to look for content MOs. *Ahem*! Right, let me know if I can help in any way, but I get the feeling you're probably already on top of it. Rambling this much means need more sleep. Cheers~ ♪ daTheisen(talk) 22:41, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

I'd hold off on doing anything with the text additions right now... When someone is listed on Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations both the article/text additions and the image uploads/changes are checked. So, lets let the sock investigation go through first, and then move forward with the investigations. Skier Dude (talk) 22:52, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

Aha! I knew why I should have known better but forgot it anyway. Not so much fun if editors could toy with things in a current investigation. It might be a good spectator sport, but not so good for quality or study. I don't see why I'd want to change evidence in a case that could only be eventual entertainment for me, anyway :) It is good to know the policy for your new taskforce though, and I find the idea of what you're collecting to be most interesting. A lot of the text under this case looked incredibly subtle though, and without an overlord type of reference to look back at will probably be a challenge. Google can't solve quite everything just yet.

Oh, one question though-- should the things that get marked as pending CCI combover be given a noindex on the assumption of possible violation and don't want them as returnable search results to reduce traffic and keep away from mirrors, or do we assume the article is innocent until proven guilty for CCI; even if it was in process for or already approved for deletion in the mainspace? Rather, a CCI tagging puts an article on indefinite "pause", but does its existence get covered up temporarily pending review? That I could work with, and give some estimation on the article's status for after your cleansing I could decode its backlinks ahead of time for easier later changes or justify deletion. .....Oh and if I'm spouting off gibberish, I apologize. I just have a very strange trigger finger for getting my hands on articles from BLPs, SPAs, socks and recently blocked/banned users to see what damage there might be and may or may not be fixable if rubbish, and since I put the report for the mess up myself it's like fresh meat to me. ♪ daTheisen(talk) 00:09, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

If you've picked up some really egregious text violations, you might want to tag the article as such & add the noindex tag. Otherwise, I don't see the harm in waiting a day or two for things to get started in a coordinated way. Skier Dude (talk) 00:14, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Visaliaguy verdict is in!

As header says, awaited results have been through CU and judgment passed. I caught 5.5/9 including all named users I listed, covering 90-95%+ of the content. As such, all the biggest offenders handled, so you should have tons to work with. Even easier is that with only a few exceptions all the contributions are just in that narrow field so things I'd think would get more clear as you go along. I'll check in at the project mid-week :) ♪ daTheisen(talk) 00:31, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

I'll work on the admin side of it, then move on to the cleanup... Skier Dude (talk) 00:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

You guys were quick; I go out for dinner and don't get back here for a day! Should I tag any images I see that seem to be questionable? Some of VISALIAso559's images look ok because they have metadata. Should I leave these alone? Cheers ww2censor (talk) 04:07, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Yep, go ahead and start tagging! I did note, if I remember correctly, that some of the metada didn't jive - improbable times (i.e. a picture claiming to be from 2000 but taken last week), different cameras, etc. It would be good to see if there's a base/standard camera & then use that to eliminate those that don't fit the "pattern". Keeping notes somewhere would be helpful, until the CCI is done. I'll get to that sometime tonight. Skier Dude (talk) 04:16, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Skier Dude,

Thank you for your message regarding the image I uploaded. It is orphaned because I could not get it to load to the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JBoss_(company). Is this because the company information (upper right of page) is set up in the "defunct company" template? We're not completely defunct, we were acquired but still use the JBoss brand. I recently updated the page content and would like to add the logo if possible. I'm new to editing Wikipedia so any guidance you can provide is greatly appreciated.

FOP

While patrolling some new images I come across many new images uploaded for what I now know to be the part of the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia Saves Public Art!. The issue is that some of these editors have been uploading images of modern US sculptures which are obviously derivative images of copyright works because there is no freedom of panorama for sculptures in the US per Commons:COM:FOP. I have tried to discuss this with some, with some success in some instances, but others just revert my deletion notices. In one instance I have been able to reduce the image use down from 10 to one image with a good fair-use rationale and lower resolution file. I had tagged some images for speedy deletion as copyright violations but between my tagging and an admin review the editor added a fair-use rationale to each of about 10 images, so the admin refused the speedy. Several of the images are also hosted on the commons, some as duplicates and those I have found have been nominated there, some have already been deleted.

I started a review of the articles linked in Template:IUPUIPublicArt which seems like the best listing of the articles in question that suffer from the FOP issue and got about halfway through it, putting the details on a new page User:Ww2censor/FOP statues. Most of the images should be deleted even if they have fair-use rationales because they will fail at least one or more of the NFCCs; minimal and gallery use, significance. Do we really have to go through the formal nomination process for each on at IfD or can we group them together as a bulk nomination? I don't know how to do that.

I thought it would be a good idea to post some FOP details as to what is acceptable and what is not. Would you agree with that and can you assist with the valid deletions? Goodness, I now realise tidying up after such projects, by newbie and uninformed editors, can be quite a task. RichardMcCoy, the coordinator has FOP problems with some of his images specifically the Lincoln images maybe others due to when artist died, but I have not even addressed that yet. Any suggestions to help me work through this more quickly? Any help you can give is welcome.

We should probably review the edits of all these Wikipedia|Saves Public Art members. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 05:19, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

It looks like you've made a good start with User:Ww2censor/FOP statues. It appears that there's multiple images in the list that can simply be tagged as "orphaned fair use" (i.e. 6 of the 7 at Anatomy Vessel (Saplings) and the same # for Casey Stengel (sculpture). I think that might be the easiest way to go - cleanup the article page & ORFUD the rest of them. This sub-page might be the easiest way to go through them... just make notes at the appropriate places to see if there's others that might be interested in helping (I'll pick up the size reductions later). Thoughts? Skier Dude (talk) 04:56, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

I will continue as I am going with the list but have received decent response from some of the editors and their coordinator who has posted some notes in addition to which I posted these instructions so we shall see if there are any editors who revolt. Fingers crossed. I think I am done with the commons images so far. Thanks for whatever you can do. ww2censor (talk) 05:05, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work. I have updated the worksheet, tagged some more images and IfD'd this group as a single nomination. Hopefully that format works, so there are not a load of individual noms. I am done for now and will wait for the redlinks to appear, then review the individual editors' remaining uploads. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 16:25, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Maxey Flat groundwater data.

I'm a little late getting to this. The image was deleted some time ago from what I can tell. It was a scan I made of a groundwater contamination study that's in the Superfund archive near the Maxey Flat Low Level Radioactive Waste site. They have two archives, actually. One is in the Flemingsburgh Public Library and the other is in the library at Morehead State. I scanned mine from the Public Library. The later groundwater sampling was done by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, but the one I posted is from an EPA-funded study that was part of the Superfund program. I'm pretty sure all that stuff from the federal archive is available for public reproduction. If not I'm really sorry, but I thought that's the way it worked.

R. Jackson (talk) 07:50, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I presume you're referring to both File:Maxey groundwater.jpg and File:2002 MaxeyFrmSoutheast.jpg. Can you supply the name of the specific books that they were taken from - ISBN would be really helpful to prove the fact they're EPA-related and would be eligible for the {{PD-USGov}}. We need to be able to trace it back to the government source to justify/support the USGov template. Skier Dude (talk) 05:06, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's not really a collection of books with ISBN numbers. It's a bunch of three-ring 2" white notebooks containing whatever papers didn't fall through the cracks when the facility was changing hands. The EPA established the archives when they were doing their remediation studies. So some of the stuff is sourced to federal agencies and some to state agencies. Some comes from the original private contractor, which I'd like to put up, but obviously can't. There's quite a bit of CDC stuff in the archives. I actually followed up on the CDC stuff and went to interview the author, a Dr. Paul Charp, at the CDC in Atlanta. BTW, MaxeyFrmSoutheast.jpg was taken by a photographer from the Commonwealth of Kentucky, so it doesn't fall under the federal umbrella. I don't actually know exactly what Kentucky's stance is on their documents. I've had quite a bit of trouble getting documents from Kentucky and never have had a straight story as to why. I asked for water contamination studies the first time I visited their labs and my liaison said, "Well, it's not something we're prepared to let just anyone see." I went through their state legislature and still didn't get anywhere, although I was repeatedly assured that if I filled out all the forms I'd get copies of the documents I was asking to see. The documents I did get from the Commonwealth came from disgruntled employees anonymously. The requests never worked. SO...I wouldn't have posted any of Kentucky's water contamination documents (not with an expectation of them staying up, anyway). The table I uploaded, Maxey groundwater.jpg, is a scan of an EPA water contamination study that was done as part of Dr. Paul Charp's health impact study for the CDC. I don't have any kind of reference ID number from the archive, though. I just scanned a page out of a 3-ring notebook.

However, I know that I was sloppy about not putting up the copyright status in the beginning, and will avoid that in the future.

Also, is there a way that I can delete a file that I have uploaded without bothering an admin?

Thanks,

Skier Dude,

My friend expatscribe was editing on my computer and I sent you a message through his account by mistake. I (user:dcabirac) created the file from one I derived, and wish to delete it.

In regards to that file, you may go ahead and remove it as it serves no purpose (now). It was used two months ago, though, but the article got merged and left the little orphan behind. :-) --Mike Allen ^{talk · contribs} 04:27, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

crowned portcullis image

Noticed you tagged my image.

The image in question became orphaned due to an anonymous edit by someone else on the only page it was used on.

I created it by making a minor color tweak to the black one, if that helps. Opened up the raw SVG of the black one and hand edited the hexcode from black to dark green to match the green on the House of Commons page for the UK.

Checking with the UK's government site seems to confirm that copyright requirements are met.

At the moment I'm confident that fair use is met, the only question is what color the logo should be.

Do you have any advice?

The image itself is easy enough to recreate from the black logo so I'm not worried about deletion. Though it would be nice to know what the right color should be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shentino (talk • contribs) 06:07, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Add Copyright Tag

As you rightly pointed out the image has no copyright tag. Since i am a new user i dont know how to add the copyright tag. I guarantee that the image uploaded by me is under my ownership and there is no copyright violation. I would love if you can guide me on adding the copyright tag.

Thanks in advance.

File permission problem with File ...

I am not sure I understand your point: I have specifically selected pictures for which the author had attached a cc share alike license and added the URL of the page where it was stated... So what more am I supposed to do? Best, Cresus22 (talk) 19:29, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: Orphaned non-free image File:Crazy Bones logo.jpg

The image page specifies which article it was to be used in. Viewing the article would have revealed that there is a broken image link on the page– I suspect the only reason the image wasn't there is because of vandalism/human error. I have removed your speedy delete tag.

Thanks,

Hamidiye pic

Hamidiye3.jpg picture was tagged for deletion due to copy right issues as I understand it. 1-I thought I had indicated that it was a historically significant picture, already in PD and I assumed fair use 2- Picture is at least 95 years old. Ships were interned after armistice. 3- I have specific and explicit permission from the web site owner where I found it [4] 4- The picture is significant and adds value because its a rare instance of these two very famous battleships appearing in the same frame. Please help me straighten this out. I do not even know how to add a new form or edit it. Thanks.--Murat (talk) 02:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Due diligence and image files

You nominated File:5link3Dtop1.gif and File:5link3Drear1.gif for deletion under WP:PUI two months ago, and they were deleted without challenge (or apparent notice among those of us paying attention to vehicular articles...).

Once I noticed that, I did a 2 minute Google search and found the following:

• Professor Petru-Aurelian Simionescu
• Simiprof's contributions
• Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2009 October 3#File:5link3Dtop1.gif - both nominations accept the listed creator as (c) Simonescu 2006, which the files verify

A trivial comparison indicates that the contributions of User:Simiprof and Prof Simionescu line up perfectly - Automobile technologies, and Romania. "Professor Simionescu" -> "Simiprof" is obvious.

Maybe perhaps a goof there? ...

Thanks for the heads-up for the orphan status of the images that had been dropped from Howard the Duck. I have restored the plot section and reinserted the images.

I have another image that is an orphan, which might be used later for the exploded map of Sarasota. The creator of the current one at the article is making an updated one (among a series) and I have noted inaccuracies that exist in the old. Perhaps his new image will be corrected adequately, if not, this orphan might be useful. Since there is no copyright issue, do you think it can remain until he completes his new images? Will check back here for your opinion. ----83d40m (talk) 16:43, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Question on tags placed on images

Hi Skierdude,

You placed the following tags on my talk page regarding several images that seem to be orphaned and are to be deleted, I guess;

• Orphaned non-free image File:Odjava.jpg
• Orphaned non-free image File:Show Introduction.jpg
• Orphaned non-free image File:SegmentCredits.jpg

These images are included in article that had been deleted at an AfD and was placed into my user space (userfied by admin) to keep working on. The article in question is at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Turqoise127/Kresimir_Chris_Kunej I was under the impression that such userfications allowed for images to remain in article. Another editor did the same thing yesterday and when I asked him about it told me to go ahead and remove the tags that it was a mistake. Please advise if I need to do something or if this is ok.

Thank you, by the way, for your recent help in advising me in licensing tags for some images.Turqoise127 (talk) 15:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

About this image: File:Oliva Benson - SVU. I'm not the one that originally uploaded it, but I tried to update it with a recent picture and it wouldn't ever update, so I uploaded the image here and used it in the article. Just FYI. --Mike Allen ^{talk · contribs} 21:05, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, you have missed one.

Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Aradic-es/Future aticles/UK during destruction of Yugoslavia. There are two pages listed there because there is a mirror article. Please can you also delete it? Miami33139 (talk) 04:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletion in my userspace

Why exactly did you have a problem with this? SpinningSpark 19:47, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Spinningspark/Work in progress/Flitch of bacon was a redirect to a non-existent page Flitch (bacon) Skier Dude (talk) 05:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

yeah, I know, the intention was to move it into mainspace along with User:Spinningspark/Work in progress/Flitch (bacon). My question was not why did you delete it, but why was it causing a problem. I can understand that redirects in mainspace that don't go anywhere are a problem. But in a user's sandbox? I am clearly working on something constructive there, why disrupt it. SpinningSpark 15:59, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Because so many good "intentions" end up with redlinks in all "spaces". There's a cleanup list that these all appear in Wikipedia:Database reports/Broken redirects, and as redlinks don't serve any purpose, they're routinely deleted from all spaces. It would be best to just create the page in userspace, put a "working" template on it, and it won't get sorted into the cleanup lists. Skier Dude (talk) 05:16, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

No it wouldn't, it would get it on even more maintenance lists and endlessly templated, even speedy deleted. The whole idea of working in user space is that the project can be worked on in peace. Articles can be left in an unacceptable condition for long periods of time, or even just as rough notes, without fear of them being "maintained". In this particular case, even though the article is pretty advanced, we don't want to put it into mainspace now because it is being saved for a 1st March DYK special. It is not the business of administrators to dictate the working methods of editors, our task is to protect the encyclopedia, not interfere with the editorial process in any way. SpinningSpark 10:44, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and putting "intentions" in quotation marks shows a that you are not assuming good faith in my intentions. I suggest you go and re-read WP:AGF to remind yourself of what that is all about. SpinningSpark 10:50, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

Picture

Hi, I was wondering why this picutre you uploaded was deleted: [[7], seems like a good idea to show Kim's non-superhero side! Yabadabadoozie (talk) 20:27, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Azimage logo

Hi,

the image File:Azimage logo.png is referenced from User:Rotarucalin/AZImage, so please do not delete the image yet. Unfortunately the article was marked for speedy deletion, so I am trying to improve it under my personal page. Why this is not showing to you under file links I am not sure. I can find the page under file links, so why is this image an orphan? rac 20:37, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I have moved the article back to wiki space, so the file is no orphan anymore. Could you please remove the deletion? Thank you. rac 13:17, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

User:Virusunknown

Would you be willing to take a look at the seven media contributions of User talk:Virusunknown. You tagged serveral of them for various levels of deletion of scrutiny, and I tagged a few more after you were done (for lack of Fair use rational). The unloader has changed all of the licenses to public domain stating that he/she is the copyright holder. Despite this on this user's talk page he has stated he is neither an employee or student of the university, so I wonder how he can hold the copyright for 40 year old pictures. Anyways you seem to know much more about media tagging than I do, so if you have the time your attention would be appreciated. Thanks! Grey Wanderer (talk) 21:43, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

PSSAYMCD.gif

What's up with deleting the image? Look, it's too small to make a bootleg version of, and it would be dead obvious if anybody tried because the original is a silkscreened piece of felt with a Soviet military pin through the centre of it! Since this falls under fair use, please cut this nonsense out and put it back. Thank you. Eyevocal (talk) 21:35, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Re:File:Ikigami vol01 Cover.jpg

I already requested that file to be deleted to another administrator prior your notice.

See: User_talk:Dinoguy1000#Request_image_deletion rational is in the discussion. The time stamp is anterior to the message you left in my talk page.

Cordially.

sig

Hey! I know I have worked on your signature in the past and you decided not to use it because of the length. I am back here to ask you something. Do you want me to make you a noticable, cool, but all at the same time new signature? Btilm 03:25, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

No thanks, I'm settled with the green/brown, which is my visual cue. Thanks for the offer!Skier Dude (talk) 03:27, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

About the Category About the 2010 American Television series Endings

I just saw the category about the 2010 television series endings a few minutes ago and I wondered how the category has gotten repopulated but I think that the category should have one or more American television series endings in it. Ericthebrainiac (talk) 16:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

All I am saying is for you to recreate the category with two or more American television series endings for me, please. Ericthebrainiac (talk) 16:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Help with Photograph

Hello - You have tagged AG Lafley.jpg as not having enough information and candidate for deletion. I am the photographer and the poster, so I may need just a bit of help as to what I'm supposed to do. I'll try by adding a description, but the Copyright details are a bit confusing for me. Any help appreciated. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pnblair (talk • contribs) 20:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Don't know if you remember but you nominated some Wikisky images at PUF. I deleted them. I just wondered if you'd noticed just how many more there are on enWP: another 100 or so. Bummer. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:16, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

1961 Corvette

The first version is red (61 Corvette) the second one (was) B&W (1961 Corvette) I downloaded the second one because I tried to download a new version of 61 Corvette with a different photo.. (update didn't take right-shows a distorted version of the first photo) You should have deleted that one-61 Corvette (orphan), not the new upload 1961 Corvette in the article. Please don't delete the one in the article this time. Thanks (Vegavairbob (talk) 06:48, 21 December 2009 (UTC))

OK, looks like a cache error. By the way - File:1961 Corvette.jpg is still showing up as not in any articles. The top image for File:61 Corvette.jpg is identical to 1961 corvette - but both of the images in the detail boxes (bottom) show up as the coloured versions!? Even weirder - click on the thumbnail of the 2nd upload for 1961 corvette - comes up as the black and white version! I'm going to wait a bit on both of them to see if it's just a problem of the servers catching up. And, to make things a bit easier, could you format the image names as links -- [[:File.extention]] (colon before File and double [[]]) -- makes it easier to figure out what you're referring to. Skier Dude (talk) 07:03, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Neither of these images is showing up as being used in any articles. Skier Dude (talk) 07:09, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

My mistake. The edits I was working on including the second File:1961 Corvette.jpg were not saved. Was working for hours on C1 Corvette I saved the last edits and the correct second download (b&w) 1961 Corvette image is now showing. File:61 Corvette.jpg reverted to original color image. Now they are different images. No need to delete it. Is there any way to reduce the size of File:61 Corvette.jpg to match the size of the other photos in the article? (Could you do that?) That's why I included File:1961 Corvette.jpg in the article, but would prefer the color image if it matched the size of the others. Thanks(Vegavairbob (talk) 08:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC))

Template:Newpage/doc

Thanks for the FYI there at my talk page about protecting Template:Newpage/doc. I've no problem with this, I simply created outline documentation because none existed before (one of my pet hates about many templates, people are just magically expected to know when, where and how to use them). Of course I'd prefer it not to be protected, but I was not really expecting to maintain it much. I've never used this template myself, and would probably regard it as redundant, since the creation of a page by definition means it as a new page, and I imagine it is to be expected that content will be added shortly after its creation (define "shortly after" :) ).

But it would be nice sometimes to have a "basically new page" template of some kind where one can mark a page as being essentially a total rewrite or expansion. Of course there is {{inuse}}, but one which can be permanently placed e.g. on the talk page that says "this article was basically entirely rewritten between versions x and y", giving kinda a "stable" checkpoint in the article's history. This might aid future editors who see a stream of small sub-editing kind of edits after a big rewrite. I'm thinking, for example, at the recent rewrite of botanical garden, which after consensus that a rewrite was desirable, this was mostly accomplised in user space, but was still subbed significantly in the article space after the rewrite was moved over.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:TheSinglesCollectionCover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:TheSinglesCollectionCover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Chase wc⁹¹ 23:41, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey can you help me out?

There is a user named "Tonyvillagomez21" and he keeps on editing rapper Lil' Flip's page over and over again putting things that aren't true on the page and deleting my changes every time. He puts information that doesn't have any sources, when my information has sources. If there is anyway that you could stop him in some way, I would be appreciative.

Thank you very much,

I downloaded this image in the wrong format (TIFF), and couldn't delete it, so I blanked and orphaned it as my only option.
