Hi,
How do you feel about the images? I've been keeping an eye on possible promotions, and since none of the possibilities looked like that had good images, I settled on the ones I thought best, but you may have a different opinion. Would you rather have the insect instead of the ship, for example? Also, I made the glacier one slightly smaller than usual for the one in that slot, basically because (personal opinion) I don't think it's that interesting. Just me. Feel free. Best wishes, MathewTownsend ( talk) 23:49, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry it took me so long, but I finally made some comments on Wikipedia:Peer review/Chrisye/archive1 Ruhrfisch ><>°° 16:43, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Chrisye's Wedding.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 03:59, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I think we are in disagreement about two image alternatives - File:Promises JM.jpg / File:Promises promises poster 02.jpg (essentially the same image, one posted as FU and another as free) and File:Jayne Mansfield and Tommy Noonan in Promises Promises.jpg / File:Promises promises poster 01.jpg. I have but one discomfort - the alternatives may not be free at all. I understand that the posters are not carrying any license, but posters hardly do that, and may not be covered by the law for that. Can the legal aspect be verified?

Hi again, I was wondering if you could take another look at the images on Alexis Bachelot, since you last looked at them KAVEBEAR pointed out a couple good images to add and I put them in. I doubt there will be any issues though. Thanks, Mark Arsten ( talk) 01:01, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
I'm not quite clear on the criteria for Featured pictures, but what is the rationale for those massive nominations, like all the member's of a 2012 sports team (or all the baking pictures)? These look like snapshots, not at all featured worthy, IMO. What's the deal on those? MathewTownsend ( talk) 01:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
I assume MathewTownsend is talking about the picture on the left being the snapshot? The one on the left was not nominated for featured picture. The one on the right was part of a set and is the highest quality image of its type for profile pictures of water polo players, worth while particularly because it is part of a complete set of pictures for a team and one taken with team permission. It is higher quality than the comparable picture of the person on the official website. Could it be better? Yes. But it is really annoying to see some one's work degenerated as a snapshot. -- LauraHale ( talk) 00:56, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
I take exception to the derogatory remark you made on the DYK nominations page for the article Animal navigation. You stated, on the subject of my review, "The article isn't even in the hook! Please do a real review."
To start criticizing someone who is trying to help clear the large backlog of unreviewed nominations for DYK is absolutely unnecessary nor do I think it is warranted in this instance. Are you trying to put me off doing reviews? What about assuming good faith? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 09:35, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
How do I nominate a candidate for featured picture? Would this be a good candidate? It has an OTRS ticket at the Commons. MathewTownsend ( talk) 20:33, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi There, You are someone that I respect and I was wondering, if you have the time, could you take a peek at Template:Did you know nominations/Chardon High School shooting and if you do not want to do the review, could you give me your take on why people might be avoiding it. It is the subject? Is it too long? Is it me? Considering the article has had over 72,000 views since I started it a week ago, I thought it would be snapped up quickly. I have also been working very hard on the DYK backlog (like swimming up stream) in hopes, in part, of cultivating some good will so that someone might take a look at this.
Also, any tips you can give me on reviewing will be appreciated. I am thinking about sticking around to see about that backlog, but I had a review pulled from prep and I don't want to be that type of reviewer. Thanks in advance. -- Ishtar456 ( talk) 23:15, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Michael Crouse, Marcus Knecht, Chris Bisson, Andrew Albers, Jamie Romak, Tim Smith, Kyle Lotzkar, Mark Hardy, Nick Bucci, and Jon Malo is being done that long because of the hooks involved and my desire not to get pinged for missing things.

This discussion is closed, as ALT5 is promoted. So I don't think subsequent edits should be made. Any problems, do not use that template. Instead, let's use the Talk:A Young Man's World. As for the infobox, I did what you asked, I summarized what is already cited in the article, and should there be citations in the infobox? By the way, from Wikipedia:DYK#Images: "Pictures and videos accompanying the DYK hook". There have been no videos or pictures accompanying the hook. Non-free images may still be allowed, as long as they are not used for the main page. -- George Ho ( talk) 19:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

I take exception to the derogatory remark you made on the DYK nominations page for the article Animal navigation. You stated, on the subject of my review, "The article isn't even in the hook! Please do a real review."
To start criticizing someone who is trying to help clear the large backlog of unreviewed nominations for DYK is absolutely unnecessary nor do I think it is warranted in this instance. Are you trying to put me off doing reviews? What about assuming good faith? Cwmhiraeth ( talk) 09:35, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
How do I nominate a candidate for featured picture? Would this be a good candidate? It has an OTRS ticket at the Commons. MathewTownsend ( talk) 20:33, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I think an image should accompany such an important painting. See Wikipedia_talk:Did_you_know#The_Source_.28Ingres.29. -- SupernovaExplosion Talk 01:39, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Hi There, You are someone that I respect and I was wondering, if you have the time, could you take a peek at Template:Did you know nominations/Chardon High School shooting and if you do not want to do the review, could you give me your take on why people might be avoiding it. It is the subject? Is it too long? Is it me? Considering the article has had over 72,000 views since I started it a week ago, I thought it would be snapped up quickly. I have also been working very hard on the DYK backlog (like swimming up stream) in hopes, in part, of cultivating some good will so that someone might take a look at this.
Also, any tips you can give me on reviewing will be appreciated. I am thinking about sticking around to see about that backlog, but I had a review pulled from prep and I don't want to be that type of reviewer. Thanks in advance. -- Ishtar456 ( talk) 23:15, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

![]() | On 9 March 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Balinese literature, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a common theme in modern Balinese literature is dealing with tourists? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Balinese literature.You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hello Cris, thank you very much for your help :) I don't have much time right now to do a GA/FA nomination. Maybe next time I'll contact you if I have problems with the article. Regards. Bluesatellite ( talk) 01:29, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Template:Did you know nominations/Michael Crouse, Marcus Knecht, Chris Bisson, Andrew Albers, Jamie Romak, Tim Smith, Kyle Lotzkar, Mark Hardy, Nick Bucci, and Jon Malo is being done that long because of the hooks involved and my desire not to get pinged for missing things. It might be worth collapsing after I finish it and while a modifications are waited for. -- LauraHale ( talk) 02:01, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

This is NOT ready to go as the ref questions were nto answered.
This discussion is closed, as ALT5 is promoted. So I don't think subsequent edits should be made. Any problems, do not use that template. Instead, let's use the Talk:A Young Man's World. As for the infobox, I did what you asked, I summarized what is already cited in the article, and should there be citations in the infobox? By the way, from Wikipedia:DYK#Images: "Pictures and videos accompanying the DYK hook". There have been no videos or pictures accompanying the hook. Non-free images may still be allowed, as long as they are not used for the main page. -- George Ho ( talk) 19:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Ooh, lovely, thanks - happy to be of service. I shall, of course, support at once. :-) -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa? Lo dicono a Signa. 14:49, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
I've had the pics set up in a sandbox for a while, so I hope you don't mind if I do a little switching. Please feel free to revert or change anything you don't like. Trying to get rid of scroll bars on bottom pic.
Thanks,
