User talk:RedWolf/2005 ArchiveRe: Image:Bernini-a-d.jpgOK, you got me. I uploaded this one in May 2003, at a time when I was, shall we say, less sensitive to copyright issues... As far as I can tell my version is derived from this image or a copy thereof, and I can't verify fair use. I have therefore removed the image from the relevant page. Have a nice year.Lee M 03:54, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Happy New Year!![]() Thanks for all the work you do, and continue to do, on image tagging. Happy new year. – Quadell (talk) (help) 05:30, Jan 1, 2005 (UTC) A (belated) Happy New Year to you as well. RedWolf 00:16, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC) Images from Bertrand's paradoxHello & happy new year. You left a message about tagging some images I made. I've added license tags to each one. I'll keep my eyes open for other images I've made that need them -- not too many I hope! Regards & happy editing, Wile E.

It's much appreciated! Grutness|hello? Computer role-playing game categorizationJust curious.... I noticed you removed the CRPG categorization from a number of Final Fantasy pages (Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy IV, etc.). I was just wondering why. -Seancdaug 11:42, Jan 14, 2005 (UTC)
Geo-stubsHi RedWolf -
I've been busy moving generic geo-stubs into their subcategories (Africa-geo-stub, UK-geo-stub, etc). Seems that every time I move a few from the category, you move a few new ones in (particularly African ones). Can I ask you to please put them into their subcategories? Cheers, Grutness|hello?
Endurance ImagesSorry about that...I've inserted the source for the Image:Endurance (II).jpg, but haven't been able to find where I got the Image:Endurance (I).jpg from. I've uploaded another one, making sure that I added the source to the page, so the first can be deleted. Thanks for letting me know User:Hammersfan - 19/1/05, 18.02 No, the Image:Endurance (I).jpg image didn't come from the Royal Navy's website. As for the Image:Endurance (II).jpg image, I'll get it sorted ASAP. User:Hammersfan - 21/1/05, 10.05 Mountain picsThanks for uploading so many great mountain pics to Wikipedia! Is it much of burden to carry a good camera with you when you're mountain climbing? I've never climbed anything bigger than a hill, but I imagine any extra weight - especially the fragile kind - would be unwelcome. I'm glad your wikistress is going down a bit. All the best! – Quadell (talk) (help) 21:16, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
Deletion of categories that won't deleteJust FYI, there's a template that somebody put together for articles and categories that can't be deleted due to "block-compressed revisions". See Template:Pending deletion. -Aranel ("Sarah") 15:05, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
User IDsEven if all you have is User IDs and you can't get the name, it would still be very useful to have the list of images grouped by User ID. It would look better with a name, but it would be almost as useful to not have that. – Quadell (talk) (help) 19:28, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)
Image sleuthingThere's a new project in town called Wikipedia:Image sleuthing, and you are hereby invited to become an official image sleuth. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 00:47, Jan 25, 2005 (UTC) Usage of numbersYou asked (Talk:Atlanterhavsveien) about the length of a road. As it is a long time ago, I'm letting you know here. The answer is that Norwegian numbers are written differently from English when it comes to the usage of "," and ".". --hans 13:07, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) Image permissionI noticed that you've tagged my "Beautiful britain.." images with unverified. I have obtained permission from the copyright holder by email. What do you want me to do? Please reply on my talk page. Thanks! Lupin 18:43, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) Speedy deletion candidateI would like to know why you consider Image:WindowMaker-0.80.1-FreeBSD-4.10.jpg to not be a candidate for speedy deletion. Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion says "An image which is a redundant (all bits the same or scaled-down) copy of something else on Wikipedia and as long as all inward links have been changed to the image being retained" is a candidate for speedy deletion. There are already two other screenshots at Window Maker, one of 0.80.2 and one of 0.91.0 . My screenshot is clearly not needed anymore and should be removed. Darrien 06:33, 2005 Feb 5 (UTC)
London categoriesPlease don't change the names of any more London categories unless you are prepared to do considerably more of the spadework of moving articles than you have done for London districts. There are 380 articles to transfer in this case! All for the sake of a microscope and debatable semantic "improvement". I've put a great deal of effort into the London menu, but I don't exactly relish making another 380 edits just now. Isn't it possible for an administrator to change a category name? By the way, Districts of London, would be better British English than Districts in London which sounds awkward to my ear. Philip 23:26, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Are you looking at the same page I am? I'm looking at Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Category:London_Districts. RedWolf 06:29, Feb 6, 2005 (UTC) Tagging images moved to CommonsAh... Thanks for the explanation. I'll try to remember that. I believe that I acquired a nasty habit of adding a "speedy" everywhere, from the pl-Wiki where we still don't have a firm policy on what is and what is not a speedy deletion candidate. I have been thinking of writing a draft of the rules based on what we have here on en-Wiki for some time now, though. Maybe this "incident" will motivate me. ;) Cheers, TOR 11:58, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC) Moving images from Wikipedia to Wikimedia CommonsHi. I'm a little confused about how to correctly move images from here to the Commons, without losing information or violating the GFDL. I've started a discussion at Talk:Wikimedia Commons#Moving images to the Commons, and your input would be appreciated. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 19:52, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC) WP:ANSorry, didn't grok your comment about "I really don't think this comment applies to this topic." Did you mean that you thought I had miscategorized that "Improper speedy deletion" entry? I was thinking that only points of some policy interest, etc were for "General", which is why I moved it to /Incidents. (I turned the old section header into a bolded text to keep the size of the TOC for the main board page down.) Noel (talk) 23:58, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC) Image:ArgyleStreetHalifaxHI, you mentioned that Image:ArgyleStreetHalifax.jpg was invalid... however, it appears perfectly well to me, so I'm not sure what I should do. This image is also on Commons, in case that helps. Peregrine981 11:11, Feb 9, 2005 (UTC)

Freedom ForceThank you for your edits. I seldom remember to edit things except at work, which is obviously a bad time to be looking up information on a game. *wry grin* Probably not so good to be using work resources to update Wikipedia either, but that's another problem. Out of curiousity, are you primarily paraphrasing existing information on the characters, or are you kind of freehanding it? -Fuzzy 04:27, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Mt Damavand image and othersThe image is fairuse, merely because I know the photographer, and I wish his name to be given credit for. I'm doing this because I dont want other websites to take these images, and claim copyrights for them, without even using the photographer's name, which seems to be the case already. Afshain Bakhtiari works for Iran's Cultural Heritage Organzation, an official Iranian government organization that publishes such images for publicity purposes. I have done photography for them as well, and I can tell you that they are not concerned with Copyright issues, especially for non-proprietary reasons, like this Encyclopedia. They only care about the dissemination of Iran's proper image, especially outside Iran's borders. I also saw copies of this picture on the web. However, Afshin is the photographer of this picture, and therefore all other images you see on the web are copies of this. I scanned this particular image from a hard copy myself that I have at my resource. That is why the colors seem a bit sharper than those on the web. In fact, The Iranian Cultural Heritage Organization gives you these images for free, if they know you will use them for academic purposes. Which I gather this is. Isnt it?--Zereshk 20:46, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC) South Shetland stubsHi RedWolf - just a quick note to say that there is a separate Antarctica-geo-stub template for use with subantarctic islands, if you're planning to make more South Shetland articles! Grutness|hello? Calcutta -> Kolkata name changeHi there. I noticed you voted in the Wikipedia:Naming policy poll to keep the Wikipedia policy of naming an article with the most familiar English name. You may not be aware that another attempt has begun to rename the Calcutta article to Kolkata, which is blatantly not the most common name of the city, whether it's official or not. If you want to vote on the issue you can do so at Talk:Calcutta. Cheers. -- Necrothesp 13:28, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC) Norman L. BowenHi - when I did the re-write on the page I wasn't sure of the correct procedure for the copyvio thing. Hopefully I didn't mess things up with the re-write. Vsmith 03:56, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How can I then get rid of images in en: that should be on CommonsYou said for Image:Finnmark kart.png: Images moved to Commons cannot be speedy deleted. I have uploaded an improved version of this image (and 18 related images) to the commons. Do I need to go through the ifd process for these? Sounds a wee bit silly, if you ask me. After all, I uploaded these myself. We may soon be in the situation where we will have around 100 coats of arms for Municipalities of Norway which will be obsoleted by better images on the commons. Does all of there 100 images need to go through ifd? -- Egil 07:24, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Fwolinseal.gifThanks for pointing out to me that that image is going to be deleted. I thought it had already been deleted, actually. It's redundant to the one used in the Olin College article, and the image actually used is properly taged (it's fair use as a logo). --L33tminion | (talk) 17:52, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC) ReplyNo, my computer has an error, so I'm not aware of what's happening. I intended to fix it as an disambig, and I've fixed it already. Mr Tan 10:32, Mar 14 2005 (UTC) Category:Aboriginal peoples in QuebecHello, I've responded to your question to me about the proposed move of Category:Native peoples of Quebec to Category:Aboriginal peoples in Quebec on Categories for deletion. It's unclear to me what the timetable for the approval of this move is. The old category is empty after depopulation by another user before the name change was deemed required. Once it has been moved or a new category created it can be repopulated. What steps remain for the Category to be moved by an administrator? Thanks, Kurieeto 19:33, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
If you look at point 7 of WP:CSD#General, you'll notice that I was correct in putting it up for speedy deletion. "Any page which is requested for deletion by the original author, provided the author reasonably explains that it was created by mistake, and the page was edited only by its author." --BesigedB (talk) 12:34, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
GIF version of PNG not a speedy deletion candidate?Hi RedWolf. I noticed you didn't think Image:C-moe.gif was a candidate for speedy deletion. I guess it depends on how you interpret "all bits the same" at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images/Media. I wonder if it would be fair to change it to "all pixels the same". I've asked at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Image criterion. Cheers, dbenbenn | talk 21:02, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Korean Ceramics vs PotteryI noticed you changed a category on the Korean Pottery page from Korean Ceramics to Pottery. This has been a subject of discussion with the Korean contributors who are apparently just beginning a long series of articles on clay products and history. They seem to strenuously object to the word pottery being applied to any clay object other than wheel produced work. And they insist that ceramics is the only term for Korean ware. Another contributor and I have been writing them notes, trying to convince them that we are not vandalizing their work by changing the titles and categories to help people find their emerging articles. If you would look at the Pottery discussion, the Korean Pottery discussion and the Korean user's discussion pages( POofYS ), you will get a whiff of this apparent cultural misunderstanding. I've tried to assure them that once they get their articles into Wiki - we'll construct a clay oriented tree which will deal with some/all of their concerns. In the meantime -- I am going to add their Korean Ceramics category back and keep the Pottery one as well. Anything you can do to smooth these fussy waters would be good - as we would benefit from good Korean information on this subject. Comments welcome. WBardwin 07:31, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Can you delate this;Testttttttttttt. I was just testing my written. User:Albanau
Red Wolf, wait up: this sneaky little rat Albanau redirected the Origin of Albanians article to this blank page, and now the blank page is being deleted. The article Origin of Albanians was a legitimate article. Decius 08:53, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) This is vandalism of the First Order, and this calls for User:Albanau to be banned. Decius 08:54, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) See the bottom of User talk: Cyrius also, where Albanau's previous actions are discussed. Decius 08:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
You are 100% right Seeker of Knowledge, and furthermore User:Albanau deliberately did this in order to illegally delete a Wikipedia article that upset his nationalistic fantasies. The article was legitimate, created by User:Bogdangiusca, and fully provided with references for each point. User:Albanau is to be banned from Wikipedia immediately, and this is not his first act of vandalism. Decius 09:09, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC) I have to agree with all of this. Albanau's actions are vandalism, pure and simple. RickK 09:13, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

I added this stub during my reading about bivouac. It really needs help, but there is so much skiing marketing and suchlike, I'm not even sure if that's the right mountain mentioned in 1877 (or whatever year the article lists). Are you able to give this article some help? Thanks Avriette 21:22, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Jason FalknerI see you made a change to the Jason Falkner page, are you a fan? Apologies if this is the wrong place for a question of this nature.
Where did the discussion go?Notice you removed the discussions over Category:Culture of mainland China from the Cfd. For one, it seems too premature to do so. And for another, the discussion just dissappeared! ;) Was there a mistake somewhere?--Huaiwei 12:36, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
List of mountainsReally useful list of mountains over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mountains! It made me run through all mountains in Category:Sierra Nevada, Category:Oregon mountains, Category:Washington mountains, and most of Category:California mountains and added {{Mountains}} to their Talk pages. If you'd like, you can regenerate the list: I added ~30 peaks. Thanks! -- hike395 14:23, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Conversion of Mountain infobox to use coor templateHi, RedWolf. If you'd like to comment, we're discussing the conversion of the Mountain infobox over to use coor templates (for external links to a bunch of mapping sites). Please see Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Mountains#Conversion of coordinates to Template:Coor. Thanks!! -- hike395 15:15, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC) Request for your botJust noticed your bot work on the Loan and Investing categories. Thanks a lot for taking care of that, btw. Is there any way you can run a bot on Category:Currencies to move all of the national currencies to Category:National_currencies? If necessary, I'll do any sort of prep work you need done... ie, flagging non-national currencies to stay. I'm trying to make the currencies section much more user friendly.

Yet another bot requestHi RedWolf. I have been using a new template to add links to biography for all Canadian people. Unfortunately, I got the text slightly wrong, and was using the template with subst: to save stress on the server. Anyway, if possible I need occurences of: Biography at the Canadian Dictionary of Biography Online Changed to: Biography at the Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online Your help is much appreciated.

Deletion of Category:Italian-American mobstersI'm sorry to bother you however it appears your CanisRufis bot has changed all articles in Category:Italian-American mobsters to Category:American mobsters. I couldn't find any record of its deletion and was wondering if you knew anything about it ? While I recently moved those articles from Category:Italian-American criminals to the preexisting Italian-American mobsters they should be moved to the former category in Italian-American criminals if the American mobsters sub categories are planned to be deleted. Again sorry to have bothered you and thanks for your time. 209.213.71.78 15:56, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Prusik knotHi,
Substituting templatesHi RedWolf, I noticed you placed {{idw-uo}} on User talk:SparqMan (diff). Don't forget to use {{subst:(template)}} for these, because (as happened in this case) the template was accidentaly blanked. Thanks, Alphax τεχ 00:52, 5 May 2005 (UTC) Template:MountainThat's fine: I just changed many of the talk page templates over with the understanding that if the change was undesirable they would be reverted. – ClockworkSoul 13:13, 7 May 2005 (UTC) Double redirect cleanup award![]() Category:Islamic terrorist organizationsHi, it appears you listed Category:Terrorist organizations for deletion back in March. From what I understand, there was a lengthy recategorization discussion, but I don't know where that is. I bring it up because I have just noticed that there is still this category: Category:Islamic terrorist organizations, which would have been a subcategory of the other, and hence also should have been recategorized. FWIW, I oppose such categories, as I oppose stating in the editorial voice that groups are "terrorists"; I believe that it is an opinion that should be attributed, hence such categories as those above are inherently POV. If this issue is not on your radar, forgive me for bringing it up on your talk page. -- Viajero 16:33, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
Interwiki BotsHi RedWolf. I've been thinking over the recent number of interwiki bot requests and I feel that introducing a more restrictive policy would slightly benefit the Wikipedia.

Kala PattharHi RedWolf. My spelling of Kala Patthar is based on the odd sign / pamphlet I saw in Gorak Shep (I think the spelling of this on Wikipedia of "Gorakshep" is incorrect though I haven't changed it. I have never seen it spelt as one word and doubt this is a translation issue. What do you think??) in October 2004 and a map I brought back with me (published by Sherpa Maps). I guess this could be one of those where there are two translations from the Nepalese name though I think it is generally spelt with an "h". I changed it because I assumed the spelling "Kala Pattar" was a typo. However, if you feel strongly, feel free to change it back. I've had a good stab in the last couple of days at adding info to Namche Bazaar. Am planning over the coming weeks on adding more information on other points of interest along the Base Camp trail and possible an Everest Base Camp Trek page (though this has been written loosely about in wikitravel). Also plan to upload photos. Good to se I'm not the only one here who's been to Base Camp. When are you off to Kili?? jxs97s 13:44, 27 May 2005 (BST) Image quality, CommonsThe comments currently at the top of this page explains the low resolution of your Image:Sagarmatha ck Oct18 2002.jpg. Having a somewhat better resolution would be nice, of course, although the main problem with the image are the compression artifacts that make the picture look pretty awful. However, the reason I am writing this is a question I didn't find answered anywhere: Could you please upload your GFDL images to commons, so WPs in other languages can use them as well?

I am confused about data on (sub-antarctic) Adams Island. You wrote that the island is at 66°33′S 092°35′E / 66.550°S 92.583°E and someone added it as the part of Auckland Islands, which is far away of Auckland Island (50°42′S 166°5′E / 50.700°S 166.083°E). It seems that Adams Island which you described is some other island? --Millosh 01:59, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
OK. Adams Island which you described is not the part of Auckland Islands.

Indian peaksHi. Why do think it's necessary to create a subcategory of Category:Mountains of India for the mountains that are technically considered peaks?

Images on the CommonsSince this might be new to you, I want to let you know how it works. As you know, the Wikimedia Commons is a image sister project, mainly dumping PD and GDFL images there. If an image is used from there, a link will be given to the Commons. Here is an example: click on Image:Order_of_Canada_(OC)_ribbon_bar.png. This image is used here on Wikipedia, but if you click on it, it will tell you it is located on the Commons.

This seems to be an account that was briefly used and abandoned in Jan 2003. If it was you, can you perhaps redirect the user page to yours? I ran into this on WP:LA, which had an entry for user:Redwolf (rather than user:RedWolf). I've fixed WP:LA, but it seems like a reasonably bad idea to have both accounts active (bad enough to have user:RedWolf and the recently made admin user:Redwolf24). -- Rick Block (talk) 02:21, July 24, 2005 (UTC)

Uploaded a Stephen Dorff ImageHi. Thank you for the information. I found a picture Image:SDorff018.jpg. I copyrighted as "This is a screenshot of a copyrighted movie or television program. It is believed that screenshots may be exhibited on Wikipedia under the fair use provision of United States copyright law." If I did anything wrong, please feel free to delete. But if it is correct is it possible for you to size the picture to thumbnail size. I got the picture a couple months ago from [[4]], and I did some editing to it by cutting it down some. I did not know how to put that info in. I tried editing the page and putting it below the copyright. If you could help me make the right corrections I would appreciate it. - [[5]](Angel21 still shows up as not having an article, when underlined.)

I think we need to do a tiny bit of disambiguation work on this article, and since you have contributed to it and appear to be currently active I thought I would ask you this. We need to create a disambiguation the page from Jean Smart's filmography, to go to The Yearling (1994 movie), and we need to move The Yearling to The Yearling (1946 movie). I've made the disambiguation to the former on Smart's biography for now, but, would this be correct? Feedback appreciated. Thank you. Bobo192|Edits 18:20, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Volcanoes of AlaskaHi RedWolf- I don't know much about editing Wikipedia, but I do know plenty about Alaska volcanoes. (I'm the db creator/info compiler for the Alaska Volcano Observatory.) I'd like to put the more improved information up (with citations!), but the learning curve here seems kinda steep. I assume you or someone else will tell me if I flub it up, but I'm apologizing in advance. Also, some of the Alaska volcano names are either wrong or not those commonly accepted by the Smithsonian and by AVO. Can/should I change these names? Thank you.

Image deletionsPlease restore the tags I put on the images. You are putting tags on images that I took and re-uploaded, such as Astate.jpg, and you are changing tags of images that are covered under fairuse guidelines. The Wikipedia gyuidelines for using images of fairuse are very clearly specified. They do not need a "rationale" as long as they comply with what is clearly termed here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fair_use#Images Thanx. These images were wrongly marked by Roozbeh in the first place. --Zereshk 04:46, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

{{No source}} tagsHi. I'm finding a bunch of images that you've tagged {{No source}} that are clearly dated prior to 1923 (well, or not so clearly-- a bunch of bird illustrations just said "old encyclopedia" but I figured out which encyclopedia, and they're all pre-1923). For the record, images published prior to 1923 can be tagged PD-US. And of course, 200-year-old paintings can safely be tagged PD-old. The ones I'm looking at mostly seem to have been tagged last January, so you may have figured this out already, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

Hi! I hope you're well, and thanks for your note. Sorry about not including source information for this pic: I did not take it and obtained it (legitimately, methinks) off of a mountain website. I did so because it seemed apt for the geography section in the Canada article (being its highest mountain) and because the prior pic was both unlicensed and ... rather plain (of Arctic rocks). As well, I upload some images and create others (past and prior), and have sometimes neglected including the license blurb. Forgive me! In the next week, I have every intention of revisiting all images I've uploaded/created and appending them with proper summaries/licenses. I hope this is OK. Thoughts? Thanks!

Walter HampsonI must admit to being somewhat annoyed at your deletion of a article I placed about My Great great Uncle Walter Hampson. Author and dialect poet 1864-1932.

May I ask what exactly was assumed to be a potential IP liability for Wikipedia here? Unfortunately I seem to have missed the discussion about this article, as I hadn't logged in to wikipedia for 3 weeks. There shouldn't be any intellectual property problems with this article. I was the original author of the article. Although I had borrowed some snippets from other sources, I had sought explicit permission from the involved intellectual property owner to publish the article as it was on Wikipeda under GNU Free Documentation License. I thought I had stated this clearly on the deleted articles' talk page; maybe I didn't though (I wouldn't be able see it now anymore anyway). I have previously pointed out intellectual property right infringements on wikipedia - and I would not bother to write an article containing IP infringements. At least, this is what I think - let me know if I am wrong. Is it possible to undelete this article? Thanks in advance for your advice. ReidarM 15:35, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Mtnbox templatesFeel free to revert them -- if tidy is still turned off on the servers, the reverted version will still be broken. If tidy is running again, they will work. The reason I made the change is that Wikimedia devs had to turn off HTML tidy on all the servers. This had consequences for templates with unmatched tags. In the case of the mountain box templates, what happened is the pages were served with the closing table tag at the end of the first template. The subsequent templates were displayed on the page as raw HTML (that is, all with tag delimiters all escaped to > and < in the source, so the HTML code was what appeared when the page was rendered. So each mountain page displayed 10 to 30 lines of HTML source at the top, and only the start template of each set was displayed as a table. I think tidy may have been re-enabled now, but as of yesterday, the developers said it was off indefinitely and we should take steps necessary to run without it. Like I said, feel free to revert it. --Tabor 14:04, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for all of your help, explanations, and suggestions. Jb05-crd 04:58, 30 November 2005 (UTC) Military imagesPer our discussion some time ago regarding a user claiming copyright on several military badges and medals, I believe the user returned under the anon ip of 165.189.41.11 and proceeded to add copyright tags to every one of the images and the articles in which they appeared. I reverted all of this and am prepared to state exactly where each and every image came from. Also, the root of this is that no one private citizen can claim a copyright on a United States badge or medal. It would be like drawing a picture of a Colonel's eagle and then stating that you hold the copyright on the insignia. Anyway, I did investgiate this and the images do match the website that the original user stated. The user pretty much has a website full of insignia, medals, and badges pictures which also appear in several U.S. publications through such organizations as Randolph Air Force Base and the Institute of Heraldry (to name but two). This situation will probably not go away, as the user in question is determined to state copyright ownership of these images. Just wanted to let you know where this stood. Thanks for your support. -Husnock 23:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC) Wikipedia Status - OpenFactsI noticed you recently comment on the OpenFact's Wikipedia Status page.

no sourceI refer to this - you listed my image as no source, when my source was clearly stated - GFDL, user-created. In fact, it should be obvious that all the images are either created by me, or from helpful volunteers who were helping me create these myriad of images, that require precise positioning in order for the images to be symmetric. It should be obvious from the simplicity of the images that what the source was, but it is also not something easily recreated, as the symmetry has to be precise. I am very infuriated over this. Why did you list as no source? Why didn't you contact me, as per procedure? It's been three months now and I didn't know a single thing about it, an integral part of the system. Now a piece of my hard work has been deleted, thanks to you. Please undelete it. Sorry for the tone, but I'm quite upset that an image I uploaded was deleted without me being notified, and that it was deleted in the first place when it was very obvious where the source was from. I had painstakingly listed all the similar images, if you didn't see, listed how it was used, and you would think I had got off some copyrighted website? -- Natalinasmpf 18:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Also, what other images of mine did you delete I do not know of? I skipped the deletion review process and uploaded the same thing anyway, well, because I honestly don't think there's any debate about its source. Can't people who go around deleting stuff be more careful in the future? -- Natalinasmpf 19:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC) image taken by friendHi, I'd like to re-aupload the image I've put on the Blind Myself entry (and removed by you), but don't know what form I should provide the authors statement about the copyright. I guess it's not enough if I say, that "she told me that ...." thnx Gergely Vass
Deletion of "El Gordo's Revenge"greetings. i noticed you were the final voice to delete the entry "El Gordo's Revenge" - reference info found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Undelete/El_Gordo%27s_Revenge user JJay flagged the article as a copyright violation of this page: http://www.stlscene.com/band-index.asp?BandID=6175 it's good to know you all know how to use google, but you are all wrong. the stlscene article is the copyright violation of El Gordo's Revenge's myspace.com bio found here: http://www.myspace.com/elgordosrevenge the myspace.com account is managed by the retired band members, you should contact them to verify their authorship of the article, then re-post it as it does NOT violate copyright guidelines, and El Gordo's Revenge are a quintessential component of the history of punk rock music in St. Louis Missouri. regards, nick normal
deleting dymondWhy did you delete the entry on Alfred Hutchinson Dymond? Eric Dymond
My photosYou put tags on two of my pictures, saying that there was no source for either of them. I would have appreciated if you had taken the trouble to bring this fact to my attention at the same time that you tagged them, so that I could have dealt with the situation, rather than your leaving me in ignorance of what you had done, which I consider to be uncivil on your part. If you had taken the time to inform me that the photos contained no sourcce, and were in danger of being deleted, then I would have considered that more courteous. The leaving off of the copyright information from the pages was an accidental oversight, and could have been fixed easily, had you chosen to notify me personally. Figaro 05:15, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
I've been looking on Google and I've found two websites with that picture (and oddly, both had the same file name, but wasn't the same as the one above) here and here. No idea which site the uploader of the image got it from. Also, I've tagged the image with the PD tag. I'd imagine the fellow who took that picture is dead, but I'm not sure if I should slap on the PD-old-50 or 70 tag. Thoughts?--Kross | Talk 09:24, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
Star Wars imagesWhy have you deleted ceratin images from Star Wars articles, namely Rom Mohc and Admiral Harkov? This was an unnecessary act of viciousness and quite frankly I think it ought to be reported as vandalism. Thankyou--Billy Goat 04:05, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Also, AIBD was left over from Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting Development. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:06, 23 December 2005 (UTC) George Reeves ProjectHi there, get in touch to [email protected] to answer your questions and I am new here, so I dont know if I am doing this right, this is the only way to send you this message... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!HAPPY NEW YEAR!! RedWolf!! -- William Harrah photoThis photo was a publicity photo taken in the 60s at an event by the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. It was scanned by me and thus does not appear anywhere else on the internet. So I don't exactly know how to tag it. --Dysepsion 20:07, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
