BirthdateYou mentioned two birthdates of Kinzie Kenner (july 22 and in infobox, june 22). Place the appropriate birhtdate. Thank you NAHID 19:16, 3 November 2006 (UTC) Your bulk reversions*Edits with summary "rv vandalism by Aaron Brenneman": [1][2][3][4][5][6] Goodness gracious. First I'd refer you to WP:VANDAL to have you look up the definition of "vandalism" then I'd direct you to WP:EL and ask what "unique resources" these links provide. Finally, I'd mention WP:CIV and suggest that a quick note on my talk page would have been a a more appropiate response. - brenneman {L} 01:18, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Monique Covét articleTabercil, please kindly refrain from removing pictures from the Monique Covét article. They are perfectly valid fair-use images which serve as relevant and necessary illustrations of text. I can see your point about removing the filmography as unnecessary, but the pictures should stay. Anybody searching for the information contained in this article already has an idea as to the adult nature of the subject matter. You might not know this but many other wikipedia articles on sex- and pornography-related topics feature illustrations containing nudity. Therefore, such pictures are not improper for an article on Monique Covét.
StructureI'm relatively new at this so I want to make sure that what I am doing is correct, I've made some changes to some of the Pornstar articles. Most recently I did some clean up on the April Flowers article could you please take a look at it and critique it. Thanks in advance for you time. Dx316dd 23:50, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
Orphaned fair use image (Image:Pjsparxx.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Pjsparxx.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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. If you have uploaded other fair use 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. Abu Badali 00:35, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
THAT picture on the Misty Rain wikipedia site - isn't Misty Rain - it's Draghixia. Misty Rain has natrual breasts and were B cups - not like the ones that this frizzy haired model on the bike is sporting. Misty Rain is my favorite adult film actress - i've "studied" her for over a decade - THAT AIN'T HER! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.171.234.174 (talk • contribs) 16:56, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

You rock re: User:Tabercil/Luke Ford permissionThank you for your tremendous effort on that. Now I know what questions to ask if I across a good photo and the webmaster/photographer might be cool about it. TransUtopian 04:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC) Classic adult star bio imagesHi Tabercil, I am uploading some bio images for the classic stars but running into some issues. The images are copyrighted by VCX and should not be used commercially, but we want them to be able to be used here on Wikipedia. The images (as you have seen) are edited to reflect this. When I upload them and select the 'Owner gave me permission to use on Wikipedia' I get a speedy deletion notice and I read that it's pretty much not allowed anymore. What copyright mode should I use -- Should I use the screenshot mode? Also, what amount of nudity is allowed in the images I upload? Is frontal nudity ok? My images for Georgina Spelvin, Brooke West and Desireé Cousteau were deleted either due to the Copyright issue or due to nudity, not sure which. I want to contribute to Wikipedia but not sure how to handle these images & the guy deleting my images isn't leaving me any useful info. —Preceding unsigned comment added by VCXHomeOfTheClassics (talk • contribs) 14:38, 2 October 2006 Glad to be be help here. Let's tackle the questions in reverse order: nudity is kinda discouraged for the adult star bios. From the Wikipedia:WikiProject Porn stars guidelines: "images should not be explicit in nature...(t)he point of a picture is to put a face to a name", and they mention why they're choosing this route: "to avoid any legal entanglements due to the 18 U.S.C. 2257". So if the images you're uploading are full frontals, that's one reason why they're being killed. You might want to thing about cropping the photo to get around the nudity. As for copyright, that's stickier. Wikipedia has a natural preference for pictures that are Public Domain (or equivalent), so if there's any way you as the copyright holder can put a picture into one of those categories, that would be ideal. For instance, take a look at the Creative Commons and Creative Commons License articles. Note that while there are four subtags to the CC licenses, two of them (Noncommercial and No derivitive works) are not usable on Wikipedia, due to this message from Wikipedia head honcho Jimbo Wales. If you feel you cannot put the photo up as Creaive Commons, then I would suggest using the {{Promophoto}} tag, which lets you retain copyright but still lets it be used on Wikipedia. When you go to upload the photo, leave the box regarding License as "None selected", but put {{Promophoto}} in the summary box, brackets and all. Hopefully, this'll help you get your contributions to stay here. If you have further problems, don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail.

Ironiclly, there is a template message that explains this: {{Subst}} Link spamThank you for your efforts to combat the link spam that has continued to dog the porn star and Playmate articles for months, if not years. I wish that there were a bot or something that could make this effortless for users to free up our time for more constructive tasks. Dismas|(talk) 12:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I see you speedy deleted this article as being a copyvio to another page. From what I remember (since I'm not an admin and as a result I can't take a look at the article as it stood before deletion) the Azlea article had seen a large number of edits... Are you sure the Wiki page is a copy of the gallery-porn-star page and not the other way around?? Tabercil 00:47, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
DVD CoversDVD covers are used throughout Wikipedia as illustrations for the person who is the subject of the article, as there is usually no other available source, which is what fair use is about.—Chidom talk 22:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Seems clear enough to me. And there is no effective difference between a magazine cover and a DVD cover from a fair use perspective. Tabercil 22:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Please. I'd love to see the discussion... try and get sense of what the larger consensus is since some of my "fair use" contributions have been pulled out. Tabercil 02:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
You have violated the three-revert rule, desist now. Mactabbed 19:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
Penny FlameHey Tabercil! Could you keep an eye out for an acceptable image of Penny Flame? The current infobox pic, Image:Penny Flame cropped.jpg, is being questioned for fair use rationale. Olessi 03:53, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

It seems to have unofficial links listed as the official site, as well as a user (the same who appears to have added the unofficial links) who reverts references without explanation, despite them originally being listed as needing citation. I didn't want to break the three revert rule in order to try and correct the article, so I thought I would ask for advice. Steve355 21:12, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Thankyou, the input was much appreciated, however from looking at the history of the page I doubt this will be the last time this issue will come up. In reference to your battle against linkspam - it seems very much like something that will be hard to detect and prevent due to the fact that each spam is obviously for Search Engine Optimisation purposes and will come from different IPs most of the time (probably proxies) which means that as long as whoever is doing it has the incentive to, they will keep editing as they create new pages. I think the only possible thing to do is look at the page structure as you suggested, which is practically indentical for each different page (along with a link to others from the same network at the bottom for more indentification). I wish you the best of luck in trying to deal with that problem and I will endeavour to help out if I see it happen while I am expanding articles.Steve355 21:55, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Ironic that only hours after we discussed this I was writing you new email regarding linkspam :). I also made some changes to the Raven Riley page that was in dispute as it seemed there were some minor errors and other issues (notes that went nowhere due to the dispute, Italian heritage was interlinked to Mexican, presumably vandalism was the cause, added citation on the revenue estimate information due to information like that being removed frequently if not cited and added lesbian to the scenes that she performs online). Hopefully that should have cleaned it up a bit more, the only thing I could ask for is more information on the "awards" she has recieved, as I do not think she has won anything major so far (Xbiz, AVN etc).

How many pages are you constantly patrolling? Mactabbed 22:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Fair use vs. free useIn your attempt to follow the rules of wikipedia, I think you have lost sight of the goal of wikipedia, to be constantly expanding and improving in quality. Now my efforts of replacing low quality, unattractive images with better, more flattering images and to improve wikipedia are being hindered by your groundless reverts. Just for a minute, stop thinking about the technicalities and the rules, and concern yourself with the quality and welfare of wikipedia. No harm is done by me uploading images, so stop worrying about whether or not they are "free use" or "fair ues", and let wikipedia grow. Mactabbed 01:23, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
==Seriously stop stalking me==This is harassment and you're really starting to annoy me, just leave the edits as they and stop trying to rever them to statisfy your ego. You longer care about improving wikipedia, you only care about Wikipedia:wikilawyering to enforce meaningless rules and regulations. Mactabbed 23:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC) Would you care to explain why this is link spam?Why did you remove the link to http://www.boobpedia.com/boobs/Laura_Lion on the Laura Lion page?

Could you please find a free use alternative because I'd like to see an image up for Mena Suvari (there wasn't one previously) but can't find a free use or at least fair use. I just want an attractive image put up. Mactabbed 00:03, 16 November 2006 (UTC) More replaceable fair use images—Chowbok ☠ 01:42, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
