Hi Dianna. Torchiest and I have developed a draft annual report. There are some items (marked tba) to fill in at 00:00 UTC, and I think Torchiest will probably want to expand the Plans for 2013. Please could you have a look and make any alterations you deem useful? I will then make the changes needed at 00:00 and ping you when it's ready to go. Is that OK? -- Stfg ( talk) 14:26, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi Dianna, it's ready to go now. Happy New Year! Simon. -- Stfg ( talk) 00:07, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey Dianna, if you get a chance, could you take a look here and see if there's anything else that could be added to this list? I thought it would be helpful to try and compile all the little things that can be forgotten into a single location. Thanks. — Torchiest talk edits 14:48, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
User:Greaymarshess is stalking my edits for all video game related articles and reverting them, calling it vandalism even though I have sources ([ like this]). Other edits he's reverted are on the Playstation 2, History of video game consoles (sixth generation) and History of video games. The user also placed a "warning" template on my talk page and failed to explain what he felt I did to deserve it.
[ this revert] the editor accuses me of changing dates and more vandalism (although I wasn't even the one who changed the dates in the first place). I think this person is just doing this to annoy or flame, but I'm not sure. I'd like something done about it, or in the very least get the user to stop reverting nearly EVERY edit I make on anything pertaining to video games. Also, isn't there a rule against accusing someone of vandalism unless it's blantantly obviously so? TJD2 ( talk) 02:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
I also contected User: Elen of the Roads about these particular incidents, but I figured since you've dealt with this user in the past, itd be a wise choice to consult you as well. TJD2 ( talk) 02:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you SO much! The user in question posted on Elen's talk page, and I responded accordingly. The accusation was that I used personal attacks on multiple counts (one is partially accurate, I mistook the account for a sock due to an older revision of the user's talk page, but I have since apologized for that as I've realized my mistake). I kinda feel bad about mucking up Elen's talk page. TJD2 ( talk) 03:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
What about his warning for removing sourced content? or his warning for adding unsorced edits? It's clear you are taking sides which is against Wikipedia policy for admins to do also you need to WP:BLOCK#NOTPUNITIVE. which states in retaliation against users; to disparage other users. Your waning was Punitive.If you leave a warning on one users page when the other users is just as much in the wrong that's punitive actions toward another user. also read Wikipedia:ADMINACCT#Accountability -- Greaymarshess ( talk) 04:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
You are obviously wikihounding, removing sourced content/reverting all my edits no matter what they are. Not only that, but you come on here high and mighty to trash talk an admin telling her she doesn't do her job right? Show some respect! TJD2 ( talk) 05:42, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
Diannaa, I am requesting you indefinitely block User: Greaymarshess from editing Wikipedia due to repeated counts of wikihounding, false accusations, lack of respect for admins, violating the 3RR, removing sourced content from History of video game consoles (seventh generation). If not indef. then at least temporary, because this isn't going to go anywhere. He has been constantly berating me and although above he said he'd stop reverting my work, he didn't [ stop]. Notice his version isn't cited either, so he falls back on the "my version's right, take it to the talk page before it gets changed" tactic. TJD2 ( talk) 07:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
I rest my case. TJD2 ( talk) 08:17, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
For.....I believe you are the one dragging this out Greay. I have appologized NUMEROUS times for my mistake, and you refuse to accept it. Diannaa didn't give you a satisfactory answer that sided with you so you took it to the vandalism board. They told you you were in the wrong so now you're requesting a ban. You know where this is going to end up. TJD2 ( talk) 16:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
That was because I posted in the wrong board another admin noted his edit could be considered disruptive. Either way I would appreciate it if all 3 of us could just drop it and move on.-- Greaymarshess ( talk) 23:53, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi there Diannaa. I noticed that you add often that "non-free reduce" thing. This JPG for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gokujou_Parodius_SFC.jpg ... what's the difference between 300 × 535 and 243 × 433? I see no significant difference at all. I'm starting to feel annoyed by these non-free reduce thing because in the past months I used to upload small images, something like 200 or 220px, but then two or three other Wikipedians started to complain because the JPG or PNG were too small and asked me to upload "bigger" pictures. I don't know, but honestly, what's the criterion after all? -- Hydao ( talk) 08:39, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm wondering if you might be able to do a copyedit on this article which has been requested by WikiCopter Returns during a GAR. I approached Dank without success. I've been reluctant to go through the normal process after a negative experience when a Guild copyeditor worked on this article on 18 July 2012.

Hi Dianna,
You're going to have to forgive me ignorance but I have no idea what your message about the file I uploaded actually means.
I've been asked by my institute to make a wikipedia page for the institute (ideally similar to the Sanger Institute page). The logo image which was uploaded is the official logo for the institute and as an 'agent' for that institute I am allowed to use it. It is also in the public domain on our official website and all of our stationary.
How do I go about getting it past the wikipedia approval system?

I have sent permissions-en@wikimedia.org the email granting me permission to use the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Residence_of_Mr._A._D._Henderson,_Suffern,_N.Y.jpg image. Below is a copy of that permission:
"After talking to the staff and people involved in the Hudson River Valley Heritage website, they advise that this is in the public domain, so you should be able to use it without any permission. I would just list Suffern Free Library as the source. Sorry for the delay. I haven't had this come up here before! Will get back to you about the newspapers. Hope you havea nice weekend, Carol Connell Cannon - SUF"

I have tried to link with Dianna regarding the Rudolf Hess article but get Diannaa with two a's at the end instead--so I will assume this Diannaa is the same as Dianna who is dis-satisfied with my using Dr Hugh Thomas' book "The Murder of Rudolf Hess" as a reference. Are you not aware that this book was written by one of the very few Medical Doctors and Surgeons ever to have had an opportunity to examine the prisoner called Rudolf Hess at Spandau? He is not some kook, who made up some story about how secret agents strangled 93 year old Hess. In 1979 when this book was published Harper & Row was a very respected publisher known to thoroughly vetted Dr Thomas as legit. The facts he uses in his book other than about the wounds and physical exam are also vitally referenced. Why is it that when I ask for a citation to a clearly speculative statement in the RH article are my citation requests deleted by you? Why is it that when I give a reference from a thoroughlt vetted author of a thoroughly respected publishing house am I accused of adding unreferenced material when I have in fact stated where my info came from? You consider the "double conspiracy theory" of Hess to be fringe conspiracy theory (your words) and yet you allow unreferenced 70 year old Nazi propaganda and misinformation to be gospel without need of any citation or reference? I am not saying you are some closet nazi, Dianna, but people who have kept up with the history of WW2 and more recent knowledge of the Ultra Secret decrypt efforts involving enigma, etc. since the mid 1970's have very good reason to feel that some odd sounding theories of events of WW2 are in fact quite true; and W. Hugh Thomas' book is one of those odd sounding events that in the light of day has a certain ring of truth. In response to your insulting actions and WARNING, I respond that you are correct in the fact that the Rudolf Hess article is in need of major re-do's; however, I am not part of the problem--rather trying to be part of the solution. I have read pretty much all the books about Rudolf Hess and his "trip to Scotland" written in English, and the only one with all the facts wrapped up tight is the Thomas book published by Harper and Row in 1979. Wikipedia is not about calling respected publishing houses vetting procedures lunatic fringe, or disregarding and deleting similarly referenced additions because they do not fit into your vision of the topic. Similarly, when well entrenched misconceptions on a topic are challenged for a citation or reference, quite simply they need to be cited or deleted. All I have done is request citation/reference for commonly held ideas on this topic that I have researched and found to be faulty or old WW2 propaganda. Get a copy of The Murder of Rudolf Hess by W. Hugh Thomas and read it well Dianna, for there lies the truth. Dunkmack9 ( talk) 06:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Diana, Wikipedia may and should be careful about copyrights but in this case it failed to make a phone call that would have ascertained that the company Bloom worked for and that published the four images I've used in its toy fair catalogs each spring and fall hasn't existed for fifty years, and the images I used in the article were originally taken by photographers working for the company that were also owned by the company that no longer exists, not the photographers. The photos are really "documents of historical interest" that no one but the eBay seller who's hocking them owns, which is why it was the eBay sellers I asked permission from. The original photographers never owned the photographs; the company did, and the company hasn't existed since 1962. Its trademark name was used into the 1970s by another company that no longer uses it. You can look these facts up.
I asked for and received permission to use each and every photograph in the article from the one and only owner alive. If I have cited "Bloom family", the photo is owned by my family and me. The photographers and owners of the images of toys, luggage, and tape recorders I used on the page were asked for permission to include them and gave their permission freely and, I might say, enthusiastically in every case. Also in every case, I quoted verbatim the emails that granted me permission in the "file description" of each image.
There is nothing more needed from these owners, most of them either webmasters of websites or eBay sellers. Neither is more needed from me as far as I can tell. To pursue the matter further is a disservice to every reader of Wikipedia, to me, and to the subject of the article.
Why didn't you look up Amsco yourself rather than making false accusations on my page? That's your job, not mine. You're paid to do that. I'm donating my time voluntarily, and frankly I suspect my time is more valuable than yours. I'm angered and want answers now.
Please respond to this note immediately either at this page or to my email address at <redacted>. It's Tuesday morning at 8:11 am EST. Thank you.--Richard Barnett "Dick" Bloom
Let's look at one of the images from the Amsco catalogue as another example: File:Amsco hichair.jpg. Contrary to what you have indicated on the file, the copyright is not owned by Heidi Ann of the Internet blog "Gold Country Girls". The copyright is owned by the person who created the image, or they would have transferred their rights to Amsco as part of their contract to do the work. You can see by the Hirtle chart that material published with a copyright notice in the United States between 1923 and 1977 has fallen into the public domain if its copyright has not been renewed. Material published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice is already in the public domain. It is up to you, the uploader, to prove the date of publication and whether or not it was originally copyright and whether or not the copyright was ever renewed. Likely the entire catalogue was copyright when it was issued, and a copyright notice was placed on the material somewhere. It would not appear on every page of the catalogue. Records on copyright renewal are available from the United States Copyright office. What you have to do is determine whether or not the material was originally copyright, and determine whether or not the copyright was renewed by searching the copyright office records. There's licensing templates to the right on the Hirtle chart. Please mark the results of your searches on each file and add the appropriate license template. Don't remove the deletion tags yourself please; an administrator will remove them once they have checked your work.
I am not a paid employee; I am a volunteer like yourself. Recently I have been specialising in copyright law as it pertains to images, and I have had a very high accuracy rate on my decisions. For the most part, my tagging will be correct. But you don't have to take my word for it; a different administrator with experience in this area will review the images again in a week and check over my work and delete any images that do not yet have the required proofs or permissions in place. Copyright law is very complex, so please feel free to post here again if you have any further questions or comments. But I will be unable to respond for some time, as I have to go to work now. I have removed your email address; it's a bad idea to post it on Wikipedia, as spammers scrape this site looking for people to spam. -- Dianna ( talk) 15:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC
I contacted the owner of the images, who sells them by the paper page on eBay, and she told me she'd clipped the ads "from an old magazine". On follow up I learned that the images were taken from an advertisement the company published in the November 16, 1953, edition of "Life". All Life Magazines are now in the public domain, as they are accessible for free on Google Books. The ads are not attributed to an individual photographer or artist; only to the name of the company at the bottom of the page, "American Metals Specialties Corporation". The company has not existed since 1962 and its trademark has not been used since the 1980s. I will post the fact that the images included in the Wikipedia article are taken from Life Magazines from the 1950s and when possible will cite the exact dates of publication. Please run these facts by your administrator associate. I'd appreciate being contacted before further notations and/or deletions are made. Thanks for your help. --Dick Bloom, user name Rbbloom.
I've just been advised that the relevant law for non-profit use of images like these ads, which are used exclusively for educational purposes and not copyrighted, is codified in Title 17 of the US Code of Regulations and elaborated by the US Copyright Office at its website as follows:
One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.” The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.
<the editor here made an extensive quotation from the law>
I've placed a call to Time Warner Company (which owns the Life Magazine trademark) Legal and will let you know what they say.
--Rbbloom 10:05 am January 17, 2013.
Diana, all but four of the images I've used on this site are either (1) owned by me or (2) images owned by eBay sellers of vintage consumer products which they themselves produced with their own cameras and gave me permission to "fair use", so their copyright owners have each, individually, granted me fair use of them and I've quoted them verbatim on that. The four Amsco toy ads in the first section (showing little boys and girls) are all apparently taken from Life Magazines. Although the magazine content was copyrighted by Life, the ads were attributed only to Amsco, not to photographers, and Amsco went out of existence in 1962; even a copyright renewal would have expired in 1979. I've put in a call to Time Warner and am waiting to hear what they say. As for the others, there's no ground for litigiousness whatsoever.
My main question--my only question--for you is: should I call the images (1) owned either by me or an eBay owner and (2) owned by Life Magazine "historically significant" fair use or "promotional material" fair use? --Rbbloom
Diannaa: when you have the time, I would ask you to look at the above article and its very recent edit history. A slow-motion edit war is percolating with a new user who is POV pushing. I will wait to revert his most recent additions. Thanks, Kierzek ( talk) 14:17, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
I see that you added a deletion caption to three images on St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Geneva, New York)
I processed an OTRS permission statement that referred to all three. In the case of the info box image, permission was required and supplied. I added the OTRS template.
The other two appear to be old enough to qualify as pd, so I left the license as pd, and did not attach the OTRS template, but removed the deletion notice.
I was to make sure you are in agreement, and I am not missing a reason for deletion of the two older images.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 21:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Howdy! I don't work with images a lot so I'm not really sure what this means. Are they listed somewhere for deletion or is there a particular rationale for their deletion? I couldn't work it out. Cheers, Stalwart 111 23:23, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa,
In September you deleted this 2012 color photo of John Hanlon working a mixing board...
Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2012 August 30#File:John hanlon.jpg
...from the John Hanlon (record producer) page that I built.
Yesterday, the photo's copyright holder Ben Johnson completed the "permissions" form letter and emailed it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, allowing me to publish his photo under the free license "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0."
What other steps must I take now to undelete the photo?

Hi Diannaa. When I go to the Robert Burns article, I see the text "HARPO PIZZA" written above the start of the article text. I can't find the string "HARPO PIZZA" when I edit the article. Is this conundrum something you can unravel? Cheers. GFHandel ♬ 20:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. A debate has popped up here regarding my use of the {{ sfn}} referencing/citation mechanism. I'm not necessarily looking for input there, however I would be interested to read your opinion here. I have keenly absorbed the advice of yourself, Br'er Rabbit (RIP), and others regarding reference and citation schemes, and thought I had a go-to system with sfn; however now it seems that harv-based templates would be more "up to date". I really don't care either way, but I would like to settle on a system that is both powerful and non-controversial when used. Is there a good debate page that lists the various schemes and pros/cons?

Hi again. As you've probably noticed, I managed to get the Danny Green article to a standard so that all the text is consistent with reliable sources (and it was quite a lot of work). Unfortunately, now that your page protection has expired, a POV-pusher has returned and is persistent in wanting to introduce unreliable and biased opinion text. It is important that editors contribute, however I'm pretty determined to ensure that the article remains consistent with reliable sources. What is the best way to go about that? Now that the article has achieved a high standard of sourcing, is it a candidate for Pending Changes (at least for a little while)? GFHandel ♬ 08:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rudolf Hess, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lorraine ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hello,
In regards to the image of the Duquesne Garden wall. I took the picture of the wall with my Android during a recent visit to Consol Energy Center. The artwork that is attached to the wall, with their respective permission info, are already listed on Wikipedia and Commons for various articles regarding the Duquesne Gardens, Pittsburgh Pirates (NHL) and Pittsburgh Hornets. This is really just a wall inside of a public building that adds and showcases to the history of the article in question. If there is still a licensing issue, please let me know and work with me to correct this. Thanks. Pennsylvania Penguin ( talk) 14:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I am here in regards to a note that I received from you regarding File:ER Kvaran Sri Lanka, mid 1950s.jpg. I'd like to explain the circumstances and hear what you have to suggest. I have already sort of discussed the issue with my copyright guru/adversary User:ronhjones [ [2]]. Sort of, mostly it is about another picture from the carpcchives, but this one is mentioned by me. . It goes like this. I am my family's archivist and this picture is from there, the Caldwell Kvaran Archives, sometimes known as the carpchives. This is a picture from there. However to determine who the photographer is would be impossible. Erik Eslander (dead about 30 years) took a bunch of pictures like this. The United Nations sent around photographers every now and again who might have taken it. Wonder what their copyright policies are? They have not answered my emails, so, who knows? Could have been someone else with a camera, there that day. Anyway, I am in posession of the prints and figure to be as much the copyright holder as anyone, now. This picture is from the mid 1950s, taken in Ceylon, which might matter or might not. So . .... what do I do now? Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 03:33, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Diannaa, I think it weakens the point about the astonishing array of leading ladies sashaying through Hope's movie career (many people today think of Hope as mainly a television performer but his best work, as he always pointed out himself, was in his movies) but I see where you're coming from regarding the guidelines you cited, which I never bother to glance at myself except under duress.

Re the images you marked - file:Bloukrans Bridge Bungy - Bungy Jumper.jpg and file:Olav Zipser Space Games photo.jpg
I have re-uploaded these and other images to my WikiCommons accnt - commons:User:Quadtripplea - and have requested appropriate consent emails pertaining to each image be sent directly to permissions-en@wikipedia.org
The 2 files you marked which I uploaded to Wikipedia can be deleted. Wikipedia seemed to want them uploaded to Wikicommons in anycase! Which I have now done, and will relink the images to the main articles once approval is granted (I assume automated but will check periodically!).
I also note that some logos I uploaded to Wikipedia, namely FaceAdrenalin-Logo, Olav Zipser's First School of Modern SkyFlying Logo, and Olav Zipser Official FreeFly Astronaut Project Space Patch, have been marked as needing to be smaller and for some other stuff. I have also uploaded these and others to WikiCommons User:Quadtripplea as well as requested appropriate consent emails be sent direct to permissions-en@wikipedia.org for all of these.
Perhaps you can check some of my latest image uploads to Wikicommons and give it all an overview and let me know if there is anything I need to give any more attention to at this time. I am hoping to have this image uploading and referencing thing waxed and YES I have read hundreds and thousands of words from the various articles in an attempt to understand everything!

I was looking over your other uploads to the Commons, and there's some problems. First, I'd like to say that only files to which you personally own the copyright should be uploaded to the Commons, plus those images with OTRS permssion tickets in place, and those with OTRS pending. Corporate logos should not be on the Commons unless they have an OTRS ticket attached. Non-free logos need to be uploaded here to en.wiki and marked for fair use. Several of these logos are already here and are marked for fair use, and thus should not be on the Commons. These I will nominate for deletion from the Commons:
Hi, thank you for alerting me about my screen-shots, but I don't see what is needed from me.

So you presented me with a list of some of my rather subjective comments. As you stated, it is not an exhaustive list. However, let's try and avoid a double standard and check fellow WP editor Cynwolfe's comments to me. Cynwolfe initiated this whole thing by stating I am showing my ignorance...To a general observation of the nature of discussion which reminded me (for those who are old enough, like me) of the 1960s. I don't particularly like being called "ignorant" either. I thing you should investigate word-for-word Cynwolfe's comments as well. I think she is overreacting...She even made a comment to me that her typo was "not sinister"...Don't you think that type of a reaction is hypersensitive (?) I did ask Cynwolfe to relax and keep the harmony. I have eased up considerably, and yet you are giving me a warning. Another editor (who did apologize to me) stated to me that I will be blocked so fast that my head will spin...I didn't like that either. Before you start lecturing me, I couldn't care if you are the founder WP, please review both sides and don't cop to a double standard. If I am blocked do you think that really scares me ? LOL I don't like threats...Not from you or anyone. I am also not particularly pleased with some of your tone, either. Do what you will, but before doing so, be fair and just in your assessment. And don't cop to a double standard because another WP editor is getting almost hysterical. Now this other WP editor (dougweller) explained to me an error in my deletion without being condescending (like Cynwolfe has a few times), but did so in a courteous, mature manner and I had no problem with it. Once again, please look at both sides of the issue before you or anyone else takes further action. There have been some rather colourful characters among WP editors who have used some colourful language, and they are still WP editors and not blocked. Cynwolfe has not responded to me entirely properly, either. When I sincerely made an effort at reconciliation on her talk page (after she notified me of her complaint), her response was that she wanted no further interaction with me. However, she continued to interact with me on Marc Antony Talk Page after this seemingly implacable response to my gesture of reconciliation. You can view this in her Talk Page (unless it was maybe deleted). Again, I do enjoy editing on WP, but it seems like with every human social environment, where the possibility of egos and attitudes exist, there will be degrees of disagreement. I will no longer directly respond to Cynwolfe, but will offer a third person type analysis. Do what you will. Flagrantedelicto ( talk) 06:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

There's a serial pest at the Sylvia Young Theatre School article. Fairly regularly, an editor (usually anonymously) comes along and tries to get his name inserted into the article. It is always explained (via edit comments) why that isn't appropriate, however more care was taken the one time the editor edited under an account (which John ended up blocking). The article receives very few genuine edits per year, so would it be appropriate to apply a fairly lengthy PC protection to the page? If you do, I will undertake to monitor and quickly act on any PC requests that are generated. Thanks for any help you can give there. Cheers. GFHandel ♬ 23:45, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
I noticed you added a {{ Non-free reduce}} template to the File:WTLR Radio Station Shooting.jpg image.

Hi Dianna. If you have a moment, could you please look at the very recent history of the Jhené Aiko article? A user (whose talk page shows all sorts of problems with Category usage) is adding "Category:Jews in the African diaspora" to the article when it is quite clear that the article text is not supporting her identifying herself as Jewish (just that she identifies with her ethnic heritage – which is probably not supported by the sources anyway). I've reverted a couple of times (with reasons), however I'm not willing to revert again (especially since the editor's edit comments show a shifting rationale). I'm also not comfortable with another category just added: "Category:Yaqui people" (for the reason given in my revert edit comment). Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, however if your page is not the appropriate venue for this, where would you recommend I raise the issue for a wider discussion? Cheers.

Hello Diannaa, Can I ask you a question? In the main article about Hitler, it says "Hitler followed a vegetarian diet", with a link to the page Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism. But if you actually bother to go to that page, it says there that "Adolf Hitler has been regarded by some historians as a vegetarian". As I said, Hitler's biographers Albert Speer, Robert Payne, John Toland, and others, show (think) that he was not vegetarian, but EVEN IF he was, why should the main article pretend that there is consensus in this matter? Of course I am NOT going to start an edit war over such a silly question, but I should like to know why you have decided to delete (hide), in the main article, that only some historians think Hitler was a vegetarian (even if he indeed was one). Thanks very much. ~ Daniel Tomé ( talk) 01:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Recently, you placed a non-free reduce tag at File:Flyer News Issue 21.jpg. While I understand you likely did not build this template, I find it to be somewhat less than helpful. It suggests reducing the file size, but does not offer a guideline as to what a permissible size would be. The file at that page is 477 by 574, certainly not what I would consider to be high resolution. The image, which is of a newspaper page, has been reproduced at a size small enough to make the body text of the page illegible, which seems to me to satisfy the non-free content policy as I am reading it. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. Newsboy85 ( talk) 09:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, just to let you know that I've removed your request for a reduced version of this. [7] This is already a reduced version. It's an historically important front page in the events following the death of Ian Tomlinson. The newspaper was misled by police sources, according to subsequent reports. It's a long story, but this front page became an integral part of how events unfolded politically in London on that day and the days that followed, and it's important that the headline and subheads be clearly legible.

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
User:Greaymarshess is stalking my edits for all video game related articles and reverting them, calling it vandalism even though I have sources ([ like this]). Other edits he's reverted are on the Playstation 2, History of video game consoles (sixth generation) and History of video games. The user also placed a "warning" template on my talk page and failed to explain what he felt I did to deserve it.
[ this revert] the editor accuses me of changing dates and more vandalism (although I wasn't even the one who changed the dates in the first place). I think this person is just doing this to annoy or flame, but I'm not sure. I'd like something done about it, or in the very least get the user to stop reverting nearly EVERY edit I make on anything pertaining to video games. Also, isn't there a rule against accusing someone of vandalism unless it's blantantly obviously so? TJD2 ( talk) 02:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Thank you SO much! The user in question posted on Elen's talk page, and I responded accordingly. The accusation was that I used personal attacks on multiple counts (one is partially accurate, I mistook the account for a sock due to an older revision of the user's talk page, but I have since apologized for that as I've realized my mistake). I kinda feel bad about mucking up Elen's talk page. TJD2 ( talk) 03:21, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
What about his warning for removing sourced content? or his warning for adding unsorced edits? It's clear you are taking sides which is against Wikipedia policy for admins to do also you need to WP:BLOCK#NOTPUNITIVE. which states in retaliation against users; to disparage other users. Your waning was Punitive.If you leave a warning on one users page when the other users is just as much in the wrong that's punitive actions toward another user. also read Wikipedia:ADMINACCT#Accountability -- Greaymarshess ( talk) 04:03, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Diannaa, I am requesting you indefinitely block User: Greaymarshess from editing Wikipedia due to repeated counts of wikihounding, false accusations, lack of respect for admins, violating the 3RR, removing sourced content from History of video game consoles (seventh generation). If not indef. then at least temporary, because this isn't going to go anywhere. He has been constantly berating me and although above he said he'd stop reverting my work, he didn't [ stop]. Notice his version isn't cited either, so he falls back on the "my version's right, take it to the talk page before it gets changed" tactic. TJD2 ( talk) 07:58, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

You know where this is going to end up. TJD2 ( talk) 16:46, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

This JPG for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gokujou_Parodius_SFC.jpg ... what's the difference between 300 × 535 and 243 × 433? I see no significant difference at all. I'm starting to feel annoyed by these non-free reduce thing because in the past months I used to upload small images, something like 200 or 220px, but then two or three other Wikipedians started to complain because the JPG or PNG were too small and asked me to upload "bigger" pictures. I don't know, but honestly, what's the criterion after all? -- Hydao ( talk) 08:39, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm wondering if you might be able to do a copyedit on this article which has been requested by WikiCopter Returns during a GAR. I approached Dank without success.

Hi Dianna,
You're going to have to forgive me ignorance but I have no idea what your message about the file I uploaded actually means.
I've been asked by my institute to make a wikipedia page for the institute (ideally similar to the Sanger Institute page). The logo image which was uploaded is the official logo for the institute and as an 'agent' for that institute I am allowed to use it. It is also in the public domain on our official website and all of our stationary.
How do I go about getting it past the wikipedia approval system?

I have tried to link with Dianna regarding the Rudolf Hess article but get Diannaa with two a's at the end instead--so I will assume this Diannaa is the same as Dianna who is dis-satisfied with my using Dr Hugh Thomas' book "The Murder of Rudolf Hess" as a reference. Are you not aware that this book was written by one of the very few Medical Doctors and Surgeons ever to have had an opportunity to examine the prisoner called Rudolf Hess at Spandau? He is not some kook, who made up some story about how secret agents strangled 93 year old Hess. In 1979 when this book was published Harper & Row was a very respected publisher known to thoroughly vetted Dr Thomas as legit. The facts he uses in his book other than about the wounds and physical exam are also vitally referenced. Why is it that when I ask for a citation to a clearly speculative statement in the RH article are my citation requests deleted by you? Why is it that when I give a reference from a thoroughlt vetted author of a thoroughly respected publishing house am I accused of adding unreferenced material when I have in fact stated where my info came from? You consider the "double conspiracy theory" of Hess to be fringe conspiracy theory (your words) and yet you allow unreferenced 70 year old Nazi propaganda and misinformation to be gospel without need of any citation or reference? I am not saying you are some closet nazi, Dianna, but people who have kept up with the history of WW2 and more recent knowledge of the Ultra Secret decrypt efforts involving enigma, etc. since the mid 1970's have very good reason to feel that some odd sounding theories of events of WW2 are in fact quite true; and W. Hugh Thomas' book is one of those odd sounding events that in the light of day has a certain ring of truth. In response to your insulting actions and WARNING, I respond that you are correct in the fact that the Rudolf Hess article is in need of major re-do's; however, I am not part of the problem--rather trying to be part of the solution. I have read pretty much all the books about Rudolf Hess and his "trip to Scotland" written in English, and the only one with all the facts wrapped up tight is the Thomas book published by Harper and Row in 1979. Wikipedia is not about calling respected publishing houses vetting procedures lunatic fringe, or disregarding and deleting similarly referenced additions because they do not fit into your vision of the topic. Similarly, when well entrenched misconceptions on a topic are challenged for a citation or reference, quite simply they need to be cited or deleted. All I have done is request citation/reference for commonly held ideas on this topic that I have researched and found to be faulty or old WW2 propaganda. Get a copy of The Murder of Rudolf Hess by W. Hugh Thomas and read it well Dianna, for there lies the truth. Dunkmack9 ( talk) 06:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Diana, Wikipedia may and should be careful about copyrights but in this case it failed to make a phone call that would have ascertained that the company Bloom worked for and that published the four images I've used in its toy fair catalogs each spring and fall hasn't existed for fifty years, and the images I used in the article were originally taken by photographers working for the company that were also owned by the company that no longer exists, not the photographers. The photos are really "documents of historical interest" that no one but the eBay seller who's hocking them owns, which is why it was the eBay sellers I asked permission from. The original photographers never owned the photographs; the company did, and the company hasn't existed since 1962. Its trademark name was used into the 1970s by another company that no longer uses it. You can look these facts up.
I asked for and received permission to use each and every photograph in the article from the one and only owner alive. If I have cited "Bloom family", the photo is owned by my family and me. The photographers and owners of the images of toys, luggage, and tape recorders I used on the page were asked for permission to include them and gave their permission freely and, I might say, enthusiastically in every case. Also in every case, I quoted verbatim the emails that granted me permission in the "file description" of each image.
There is nothing more needed from these owners, most of them either webmasters of websites or eBay sellers. Neither is more needed from me as far as I can tell. To pursue the matter further is a disservice to every reader of Wikipedia, to me, and to the subject of the article.
Why didn't you look up Amsco yourself rather than making false accusations on my page? That's your job, not mine. You're paid to do that. I'm donating my time voluntarily, and frankly I suspect my time is more valuable than yours. I'm angered and want answers now.
Please respond to this note immediately either at this page or to my email address at <redacted>. It's Tuesday morning at 8:11 am EST. Thank you.--Richard Barnett "Dick" Bloom
Let's look at one of the images from the Amsco catalogue as another example: File:Amsco hichair.jpg. Contrary to what you have indicated on the file, the copyright is not owned by Heidi Ann of the Internet blog "Gold Country Girls". The copyright is owned by the person who created the image, or they would have transferred their rights to Amsco as part of their contract to do the work. You can see by the Hirtle chart that material published with a copyright notice in the United States between 1923 and 1977 has fallen into the public domain if its copyright has not been renewed. Material published between 1923 and 1977 without a copyright notice is already in the public domain. It is up to you, the uploader, to prove the date of publication and whether or not it was originally copyright and whether or not the copyright was ever renewed. Likely the entire catalogue was copyright when it was issued, and a copyright notice was placed on the material somewhere. It would not appear on every page of the catalogue. Records on copyright renewal are available from the United States Copyright office. What you have to do is determine whether or not the material was originally copyright, and determine whether or not the copyright was renewed by searching the copyright office records. There's licensing templates to the right on the Hirtle chart. Please mark the results of your searches on each file and add the appropriate license template. Don't remove the deletion tags yourself please; an administrator will remove them once they have checked your work.
I am not a paid employee; I am a volunteer like yourself. Recently I have been specialising in copyright law as it pertains to images, and I have had a very high accuracy rate on my decisions. For the most part, my tagging will be correct. But you don't have to take my word for it; a different administrator with experience in this area will review the images again in a week and check over my work and delete any images that do not yet have the required proofs or permissions in place. Copyright law is very complex, so please feel free to post here again if you have any further questions or comments. But I will be unable to respond for some time, as I have to go to work now. I have removed your email address; it's a bad idea to post it on Wikipedia, as spammers scrape this site looking for people to spam. -- Dianna ( talk) 15:36, 15 January 2013 (UTC
I contacted the owner of the images, who sells them by the paper page on eBay, and she told me she'd clipped the ads "from an old magazine". On follow up I learned that the images were taken from an advertisement the company published in the November 16, 1953, edition of "Life". All Life Magazines are now in the public domain, as they are accessible for free on Google Books. The ads are not attributed to an individual photographer or artist; only to the name of the company at the bottom of the page, "American Metals Specialties Corporation". The company has not existed since 1962 and its trademark has not been used since the 1980s. I will post the fact that the images included in the Wikipedia article are taken from Life Magazines from the 1950s and when possible will cite the exact dates of publication. Please run these facts by your administrator associate. I'd appreciate being contacted before further notations and/or deletions are made. Thanks for your help. --Dick Bloom, user name Rbbloom.
I've just been advised that the relevant law for non-profit use of images like these ads, which are used exclusively for educational purposes and not copyrighted, is codified in Title 17 of the US Code of Regulations and elaborated by the US Copyright Office at its website as follows:
One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of “fair use.” The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.
<the editor here made an extensive quotation from the law>
I've placed a call to Time Warner Company (which owns the Life Magazine trademark) Legal and will let you know what they say.
--Rbbloom 10:05 am January 17, 2013.
Diana, all but four of the images I've used on this site are either (1) owned by me or (2) images owned by eBay sellers of vintage consumer products which they themselves produced with their own cameras and gave me permission to "fair use", so their copyright owners have each, individually, granted me fair use of them and I've quoted them verbatim on that. The four Amsco toy ads in the first section (showing little boys and girls) are all apparently taken from Life Magazines. Although the magazine content was copyrighted by Life, the ads were attributed only to Amsco, not to photographers, and Amsco went out of existence in 1962; even a copyright renewal would have expired in 1979. I've put in a call to Time Warner and am waiting to hear what they say. As for the others, there's no ground for litigiousness whatsoever.
My main question--my only question--for you is: should I call the images (1) owned either by me or an eBay owner and (2) owned by Life Magazine "historically significant" fair use or "promotional material" fair use? --Rbbloom

I see that you added a deletion caption to three images on St. Peter's Episcopal Church (Geneva, New York)
I processed an OTRS permission statement that referred to all three. In the case of the info box image, permission was required and supplied. I added the OTRS template.
The other two appear to be old enough to qualify as pd, so I left the license as pd, and did not attach the OTRS template, but removed the deletion notice.
I was to make sure you are in agreement, and I am not missing a reason for deletion of the two older images.-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 21:03, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa,
In September you deleted this 2012 color photo of John Hanlon working a mixing board...
Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2012 August 30#File:John hanlon.jpg
...from the John Hanlon (record producer) page that I built.
Yesterday, the photo's copyright holder Ben Johnson completed the "permissions" form letter and emailed it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org, allowing me to publish his photo under the free license "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0."
What other steps must I take now to undelete the photo?

Hi Diannaa. A debate has popped up here regarding my use of the {{ sfn}} referencing/citation mechanism. I'm not necessarily looking for input there, however I would be interested to read your opinion here. I have keenly absorbed the advice of yourself, Br'er Rabbit (RIP), and others regarding reference and citation schemes, and thought I had a go-to system with sfn; however now it seems that harv-based templates would be more "up to date". I really don't care either way, but I would like to settle on a system that is both powerful and non-controversial when used. Is there a good debate page that lists the various schemes and pros/cons? As always, thanks for any assistance that you can provide. GFHandel ♬ 20:21, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi again. As you've probably noticed, I managed to get the Danny Green article to a standard so that all the text is consistent with reliable sources (and it was quite a lot of work). Unfortunately, now that your page protection has expired, a POV-pusher has returned and is persistent in wanting to introduce unreliable and biased opinion text. It is important that editors contribute, however I'm pretty determined to ensure that the article remains consistent with reliable sources. What is the best way to go about that? Now that the article has achieved a high standard of sourcing, is it a candidate for Pending Changes (at least for a little while)? GFHandel ♬ 08:05, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I am here in regards to a note that I received from you regarding File:ER Kvaran Sri Lanka, mid 1950s.jpg. I'd like to explain the circumstances and hear what you have to suggest. I have already sort of discussed the issue with my copyright guru/adversary User:ronhjones [ [2]]. Sort of, mostly it is about another picture from the carpcchives, but this one is mentioned by me. . It goes like this. I am my family's archivist and this picture is from there, the Caldwell Kvaran Archives, sometimes known as the carpchives. This is a picture from there. However to determine who the photographer is would be impossible. Erik Eslander (dead about 30 years) took a bunch of pictures like this. The United Nations sent around photographers every now and again who might have taken it. Wonder what their copyright policies are? They have not answered my emails, so, who knows? Could have been someone else with a camera, there that day. Anyway, I am in posession of the prints and figure to be as much the copyright holder as anyone, now. This picture is from the mid 1950s, taken in Ceylon, which might matter or might not. So . .... what do I do now? Einar aka Carptrash ( talk) 03:33, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

Re the images you marked - file:Bloukrans Bridge Bungy - Bungy Jumper.jpg and file:Olav Zipser Space Games photo.jpg
I have re-uploaded these and other images to my WikiCommons accnt - commons:User:Quadtripplea - and have requested appropriate consent emails pertaining to each image be sent directly to permissions-en@wikipedia.org
The 2 files you marked which I uploaded to Wikipedia can be deleted. Wikipedia seemed to want them uploaded to Wikicommons in anycase! Which I have now done, and will relink the images to the main articles once approval is granted (I assume automated but will check periodically!).
I also note that some logos I uploaded to Wikipedia, namely FaceAdrenalin-Logo, Olav Zipser's First School of Modern SkyFlying Logo, and Olav Zipser Official FreeFly Astronaut Project Space Patch, have been marked as needing to be smaller and for some other stuff. I have also uploaded these and others to WikiCommons User:Quadtripplea as well as requested appropriate consent emails be sent direct to permissions-en@wikipedia.org for all of these.
Perhaps you can check some of my latest image uploads to Wikicommons and give it all an overview and let me know if there is anything I need to give any more attention to at this time. I am hoping to have this image uploading and referencing thing waxed and YES I have read hundreds and thousands of words from the various articles in an attempt to understand everything!

I was looking over your other uploads to the Commons, and there's some problems. First, I'd like to say that only files to which you personally own the copyright should be uploaded to the Commons, plus those images with OTRS permssion tickets in place, and those with OTRS pending. Corporate logos should not be on the Commons unless they have an OTRS ticket attached. Non-free logos need to be uploaded here to en.wiki and marked for fair use.

After reading the link you suggested, it seems I've done all that is needed by providing the URL to Ustream, from which the screen-shots came. Please leave me simple instructions so I can help further. [Simple being the operative word (it's one of those days... or months)]. Much appreciated, petrarchan47 t c 01:16, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Simple instructions:

Would you please consider blocking this single-purpose account engaged in slo-mo revert war with everybody (experienced, long-term editors only)? There are no summaries. No reliable sources. No discussion. The user was already reported to ANI just recently, but I think, the case was closed prematurely. [3] User Kaskusia ( talk · contribs) probably thinks, it's a game. Thanks, Poeticbent talk 15:55, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Dianna. Can you delete the extra revisions of File:Daniel Stern.jpg that are not the original upload? Looks like someone got the author and the actor mixed up at one point. The correct image is the one that is shown twice, at top and bottom. I'm also pretty sure the middle image should not be included for licensing reasons. Thanks. — Torchiest talk edits 21:24, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

So you presented me with a list of some of my rather subjective comments. As you stated, it is not an exhaustive list. However, let's try and avoid a double standard and check fellow WP editor Cynwolfe's comments to me. Cynwolfe initiated this whole thing by stating I am showing my ignorance...To a general observation of the nature of discussion which reminded me (for those who are old enough, like me) of the 1960s. I don't particularly like being called "ignorant" either. I thing you should investigate word-for-word Cynwolfe's comments as well. I think she is overreacting...She even made a comment to me that her typo was "not sinister"...Don't you think that type of a reaction is hypersensitive (?) I did ask Cynwolfe to relax and keep the harmony. I have eased up considerably, and yet you are giving me a warning. Another editor (who did apologize to me) stated to me that I will be blocked so fast that my head will spin...I didn't like that either. Before you start lecturing me, I couldn't care if you are the founder WP, please review both sides and don't cop to a double standard. If I am blocked do you think that really scares me ? LOL I don't like threats...Not from you or anyone. I am also not particularly pleased with some of your tone, either. Do what you will, but before doing so, be fair and just in your assessment. And don't cop to a double standard because another WP editor is getting almost hysterical. Now this other WP editor (dougweller) explained to me an error in my deletion without being condescending (like Cynwolfe has a few times), but did so in a courteous, mature manner and I had no problem with it. Once again, please look at both sides of the issue before you or anyone else takes further action. There have been some rather colourful characters among WP editors who have used some colourful language, and they are still WP editors and not blocked. Cynwolfe has not responded to me entirely properly, either. When I sincerely made an effort at reconciliation on her talk page (after she notified me of her complaint), her response was that she wanted no further interaction with me. However, she continued to interact with me on Marc Antony Talk Page after this seemingly implacable response to my gesture of reconciliation. You can view this in her Talk Page (unless it was maybe deleted). Again, I do enjoy editing on WP, but it seems like with every human social environment, where the possibility of egos and attitudes exist, there will be degrees of disagreement. I will no longer directly respond to Cynwolfe, but will offer a third person type analysis. Do what you will. Flagrantedelicto ( talk) 06:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Could you userfy Easter Egg Archive under User:Lexein/EEA, including Talk page and history? The original deleting admin is no longer an admin. I plan to flesh out the article: site is regularly cited by RS, has been published in book form, and has been discussed in RS. I'm aware that the histories may be missing size info due to a bug from that era. Thanks. -- Lexein ( talk) 12:03, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Because I'm no longer happy with the control that {{ NewGrove2001}} gives over its parameters, I edited an article to replace its use with {{ cite encyclopedia}}. There are a number of problems with the NewGrove2001 template, with the inability to use |ref=harv being the greatest. Could you please cast an eye over my edit, especially in relation to the following issues:
{{sfn|Hicks|2001|loc=volume 10, page=770}}

| editor-last =

parameters, which gives a different layout, one which is correct according to
Chicago. I will add these parameters to the table in the template documentation.Regarding the LCCN number, it looks like they changed their numbering system from 2001 forward, but 00-0055156 does not fit the new structure or the old structure, so this is obviously not an LCCN number. -- Dianna ( talk) 22:58, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
There's a serial pest at the Sylvia Young Theatre School article. Fairly regularly, an editor (usually anonymously) comes along and tries to get his name inserted into the article. It is always explained (via edit comments) why that isn't appropriate, however more care was taken the one time the editor edited under an account (which John ended up blocking). The article receives very few genuine edits per year, so would it be appropriate to apply a fairly lengthy PC protection to the page? If you do, I will undertake to monitor and quickly act on any PC requests that are generated. Thanks for any help you can give there. Cheers. GFHandel ♬ 23:45, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
I noticed you added a {{ Non-free reduce}} template to the File:WTLR Radio Station Shooting.jpg image. Unfortunately, this was the only image available at the time (I am the uploader) and there wasn't a smaller version available. At present, the image is used on the WTLR page at 150px, so it is not used at it's full 512x305 pixel size. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:36, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey Diannaa. Sturmvogel 66 recommended me to ask you to give this article: Santa María de la Cabeza castle a copyedit. It is not very long, so I guess copyediting it won't take too long. I'd really appreciate all the help :) Thank you! — ΛΧΣ 21 13:59, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Can you see if there is any more history for File:TheDig-AudioBookNovel-AlanDeanFoster.jpg? I think it fails NFCC #8, and I raised the issue on the article's talkpage, but I wanted to see if there was any information on the original uploader, not the bot that uploaded the most recent version. I'm debating over whether its inclusion is just pure trivia, and thought maybe the original uploader would have a justification for keeping it. Thanks. — Torchiest talk edits 16:21, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. The image file File:Tears Of The Enchanted Mainframe - Album Cover.jpg is indeed under the GNU Free Documentation License. Any idea why you flagged it otherwise? Let me know if there is anything else I need to do on my end as I am the creator and sole owner. Thanks. Cadillacula ( talk) 00:48, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Hey. I'm sending you this since you helped out during the initial rush at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Ktr101. It's now down to the final 200 articles, less then that technically, and if we were to all do a few a day we could probably wrap this one up in a week. Hopefully you'll be able to help out again.

Hi Dianna. If you have a moment, could you please look at the very recent history of the Jhené Aiko article? A user (whose talk page shows all sorts of problems with Category usage) is adding "Category:Jews in the African diaspora" to the article when it is quite clear that the article text is not supporting her identifying herself as Jewish (just that she identifies with her ethnic heritage – which is probably not supported by the sources anyway). I've reverted a couple of times (with reasons), however I'm not willing to revert again (especially since the editor's edit comments show a shifting rationale). I'm also not comfortable with another category just added: "Category:Yaqui people" (for the reason given in my revert edit comment). Thanks in advance for any help you can provide, however if your page is not the appropriate venue for this, where would you recommend I raise the issue for a wider discussion? Cheers.

Hi.
Something weird just happened: I tried to revert this edit of yours and suddenly Twinkle took over and reverted it as vandalism! Can't think why it happened. Sorry. I had to fix it with another edit.
Anyway, I wanted to let you know that {{ Microsoft screenshot}} has a host of requirements which File:Windows Chicago (build 58) boot screen.jpg does not fulfill.
Best regards,

The photo referenced was found in an archive and scanned. It is also on the Mn Historical Society's site where it is listed as belonging to Murray County Historical Society. The link is included on the Wikipedia page where it is used. It was taken in 1910, and I'm pretty sure it is safely in the public domain.

Hello Diannaa, Can I ask you a question? In the main article about Hitler, it says "Hitler followed a vegetarian diet", with a link to the page Adolf Hitler's vegetarianism. But if you actually bother to go to that page, it says there that "Adolf Hitler has been regarded by some historians as a vegetarian". As I said, Hitler's biographers Albert Speer, Robert Payne, John Toland, and others, show (think) that he was not vegetarian, but EVEN IF he was, why should the main article pretend that there is consensus in this matter? Of course I am NOT going to start an edit war over such a silly question, but I should like to know why you have decided to delete (hide), in the main article, that only some historians think Hitler was a vegetarian (even if he indeed was one). Thanks very much. ~ Daniel Tomé ( talk) 01:40, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Recently, you placed a non-free reduce tag at File:Flyer News Issue 21.jpg. While I understand you likely did not build this template, I find it to be somewhat less than helpful. It suggests reducing the file size, but does not offer a guideline as to what a permissible size would be. The file at that page is 477 by 574, certainly not what I would consider to be high resolution. The image, which is of a newspaper page, has been reproduced at a size small enough to make the body text of the page illegible, which seems to me to satisfy the non-free content policy as I am reading it. I would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks. Newsboy85 ( talk) 09:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
I have found another source Statisticbrain.com which have the list for bets selling PS3 games and Xbox 360 games. Here are the links ( http://www.statisticbrain.com/playstation-3-best-selling-game-statistics/) and ( http://www.statisticbrain.com/xbox-360-best-selling-games-statistics/). Before editing the article again I want to verify with other editors and the adminstrators that if it is a good and valid source. Also It stats that COD: MW3 is the best selling game for PS3 and best selling non-bundled game for 360. Also one more thing don't get confused between the us and global sales ection because the global sales includes us sales too. Thank you. KahnJohn27 ( talk) 10:38, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, just to let you know that I've removed your request for a reduced version of this. [7] This is already a reduced version. It's an historically important front page in the events following the death of Ian Tomlinson. The newspaper was misled by police sources, according to subsequent reports. It's a long story, but this front page became an integral part of how events unfolded politically in London on that day and the days that followed, and it's important that the headline and subheads be clearly legible.

Hey Dianna. I'm trying to be a nitpicky meanie today and find mistakes in everyone's copy edits for the drive. And so it came to pass that I corrected a dangling modifier you left behind at Princess Nukata. Of course your edits are otherwise solid as always. Cheers. — Torchiest talk edits 20:03, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
