Could you indicate at Image:Frost Aerial.jpg where you got that photo? You said above that such photos come from theTerraserver, but as far as I can tell the Terraserver photos are always black and white. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 15:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hey David! How's it going? I was hoping if you can help me make Star Trek a featured article. There seems to be so much content missing despite having a lot of content already. I believe it needs a complete rewrite and work over as well a lot of reorganization. As it stands, it is an interesting read, but there is much lacking here. Information about cast, production, or wikilinks to them... relationships of Star Trek in culture, relationship of Star Trek with NASA... stuff like that. Please help me by contributing your thoughts to Talk:Star Trek. -- AllyUnion (talk) 23:00, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, sorry about that. I just figured that out recently, so i'll remember next time. Thunderbrand 20:53, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
Why did you remove the ifd header on Image:MeStephenJW.jpg? RickK 21:16, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
Hi Ed. Would you be willing to release Image:2004 US elections map.png as {{cc-by-sa-2.0}}? Since the GFDL is incompatible with the Creative Commons licenses, Image:2004 election maps.PNG is technically a copyright violation at the moment. (One could argue that the other images used are implicitly GFDL, having been uploaded here by their creators, but that's slightly iffy.) Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 05:28, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Wapcaplet. I notice you multilicense all your PNG and JPG images with all the cc-by licenses. Would you be willing to license Image:Map of USA with state names.svg as {{cc-by-2.0}} or any other such cc license? I ask because for now, Commons:Image:United States 2004 election maps.png is technically a copyright violation, since it combines a GFDL image (Image:2004 US elections map.png, which was produced from your SVG file) with cc-by-2.0 images. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 16:01, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Kils. The high-resolution version of your iceberg photo from [1] has been uploaded to Image:Iceberg14.jpg. Are you willing to license this version under the GFDL? Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 02:56, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya, Dbenbenn! Thanks very much, and that's cool about not noticing, I got a microwave as it was. ;-) That request for adminship of mine was a real roller-coaster ride—if you want to see the weird side of it, take a peek at this request for arbitration, that just went live.--Bishonen | talk 23:24, 24 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately, "lets keep it" means absolutely nothing in copyright, court, or law in general. Find us a good, well sourced and free image and then I am willing to keep it. Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 02:29, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Hi Matthew. When processing your deletion request for Image:DSCN2091 vailpassrestarea e 600.jpg, I noticed it was different from Commons:Image:DSCN2091 vailpassrestarea e 600.jpg. I presume the version I just deleted here was the original? Anyway, I uploaded it at the Commons, and then reverted. dbenbenn | talk 23:46, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. You recently moved the page Los amantes del círculo polar to Los Amantes del Círculo Polar. This is incorrect nomenclature as titles in Spanish are not capitalised on any letter other than the first (note that the IMDB, which may be your source, gets this wrong too). I thought as you were an administrator I would ask you first to move it back to Los amantes del círculo polar rather than listing it on Requested moves. --Ngb 16:42, 31 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I like the two quotes from NPR on your userpage. Do you have more complete references for them, or at least who said them? Thanks. Osmodiar 09:26, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm rather perplexed at your taking this off of IFD as "not an orphan". The whole point is that it is unencyclopedic because the text has been deliberately garbled, not that it is an orphan. The only two editors to speak on this were myself, being the nominator, and the uploader, who agreed with its deletion. Perhaps you simply misread the disussion. Thanks.--Pharos 01:44, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hello I am working at first on es.wikipedia.org,
Can you help me with information about how to translate the chess board template?
I affraid the little images with this is based are not in wikimedia:commons, either in en.wikipedia, then the traslation to other languages are hard. Is this correct?
Can other wikipedias use templates from other languages?
Thanks
A copy of these questions are on the chess board template discussion.

You seem to have permanently protected this template. You might note that it has been marked for deletion [3]. --Henrygb 10:52, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi Dmcdevit. Great work listing unverified orphans on IFD! But when you do that, you need to add {{ifd}} to the image description page, and drop a note at the uploader's talk page asking for information. For example, I decided not to deleteImage:AXthree001.JPG (which you listed on June 6), since it looks like a user photo. I instead asked the uploader, User:Alezane, for more information. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 19:48, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
If the image is still orphaned, then may I ask why was the image kept. The orphan issue was why I listed the image on IFD in the first place. Also, I hope the creator of the image still does not think I am running a conspiracy here. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:02, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Do you think it will be ok to place the image at IFD again, since it has not been used since it has been removed from the templates? Zscout370 (Sound Off) 03:09, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The contrast doesn't seem too good for the boards. Why not create a separate template instead, that way we can choose either. -- Natalinasmpf 01:30, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Last night, all of the colored squares in the Wikipedia chess tournament boards became white for me, making it impossible to distinguish light-color squares from dark squares. I much prefer the previous colors. H Padleckas 14:41, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, Uwe! You tagged Image:Iceberg.jpg as being fair use. Is the bottom berg someone else's? Do you remember where it came from? Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 00:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Good afternoon. There's recently been some discussion about ways to simplify the VfD closing process. I know I have some pride-of-authorship issues and may not be as perfectly impartial as I'd like. Would you mind taking a few minutes to review the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Deletion process#Simplification and share your thoughts? Thanks. Rossami (talk) 20:41, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Greetings Dbenbenn. I was wondering if the picture Image:The Little Prince.jpg from The Little Prince could be moved to Commons.. what do you think? And, would you know, how to do that? (I am a very new user :)
The image was scanned by fr:User:MagicTom for Le Petit Prince and then copied by you into the English version; then there are more local copies in other languages, as well. And I just started one in Russian. Thanks in advance for any help! - ru:User:Bepa - Introvert 09:05, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC) (Talk)
I have move the page back to Gdansk. I think you should wait for a consensus as specified by WP:RM before moving the page. The Gdańsk spelling is not used in English.

Hi Ben, and welcome to Wikipedia! To get an image deleted, after adding {{ifd}}, you have to actually list the image at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Cheers, dbenbenn | talk 1 July 2005 19:52 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I can't find the reason you removed the Image:Fiery knight.JPG image from IFD. Is there reason? The picture was taken in 1944 Burma with swastikas everywhere. It is titled "Fiery Knight." The other picture on his user page was also listed as 1944 Burma with more swastikas under the title, "Swastika Knights." I don't think the references are subtle. Yes, it is his user page, but this is not his private website. Wikipedia and a public shared resource that must submit to standards of decorum. I am not aware of User:Curtsurly publicly defending the pictures in any way. I may be mistaken.--Muchosucko 7 July 2005 15:09 (UTC)
Hello,
Thank you for your vote of confidence regarding the image, "Fiery Knight", which is simply an image of my Father that I doctored deliberately to reflect my interest in the Swastika in all its guises. I appreciate your swift action most significantly. Again, much thanks for helping me save this personal image from deletion.

Yes, I guess I could've, but I was pressed for time at that particular moment. I didn't have the time to go through the entire upload process. Besides, wouldn't it need to be deleted afterwards anyway? Is still a lot of work. Thanks for your help and the tip anyway. - Mgm|(talk) 17:37, July 13, 2005 (UTC)
Please be more careful when listing images at WP:IFD. For example, on July 6 you listed Image:Peaches and Bongo1.jpg, saying that it has no source. It has a source clearly indicated. Also, you failed to tag the actual image with {{ifd}}, and you did not notify the author. dbenbenn | talk 15:41, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if Image:NZNF with banner small.jpg is related to the above. I created it as a smaller version of another photo because the Fair Use was being challenged. One of the fair use criteria is that the image be reproduced at a lower resolution. Is there a specific reason that you don't think the fair use challenge was sincere or that we can reproduce the image at full resolution and still claim fair use? The discussion spread across many different talk pages, so it'd take me a little while to find all the previous discussions on this image, but I'd be happy to do so if you'd like to review them. Thanks, -Willmcw 20:20, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
