Hi Diannaa. Just a quick note FYI - when you blocked
AmyMeredithPoehler recently, you used an amended version of the standard {{
uw-ublock}}
template, but we actually have a specific template for usernames which match the names of famous people: {{
Uw-ublock-famous}}
. It's a bit more detailed and has some useful information in the event that the user genuinely is a famous person. If you come across such users in the future (though to be honest, we don't see them very often), you might find it useful. All the best,

Di, I have a ticket about this draft, and should I ask for the undeletion or ask the editor to recreate the page? Willy Weazley 02:08, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi. You may remember me as the editor who brought the paid editor Greatink to the community's attention. [2] This wound up with you blocking Greatink and the article Whitehall Interiors NYC being AfD'd into a redirect to the article Goldstein, Hill & West Architects. You may also recall that I mentioned that I had previously heavily edited the GWHA article for promotionalism.
You may notice that the GHWA article is a red link. This is because an editor named User:Deb, who is an admin, just deleted it. Here's the sequence of events:
1.Deb removed the entire section which describes the three founders of the firm. (I can't give you a link, obviously, because the article is deleted) This was maybe a day or two ago. Her edit summary said that the whole section was promotional.
2. I reverted her, with an edit summary which said something to the effect that there may be some promotional stuff still there, but she should remove it and not the whole section
3. Moments ago, she reverted me. I cannot recall what her edit summary said.
4. I reverted her and chastised her as an admin edit-warring instead of discussing.
5. I went to the talk page and composed a comment to the effect that she should do some more surgical editing instead of deleting the whole section, which was about the three people who founded the firm. I may have missed some stuff, but there's no way it was all promotional.
6. When I went to post the comment, I found that the article had been deleted.
7. Deb posted a note on my talk page which says "Since you've declined to remove the highly promotional content from the article, I've had no option but to delete it. Please don't recreate it without addressing the issue."
Now, I think this is lousy behavior for an admin. Even if I'm wrong and that section of the article was "highly promotional" (which it certainly wasn't}, the subject has been vetted a number of times by highly experienced editors who determined it to be a notable firm. I don't understand why an admin would simply delete an article on a whim, or because they were vexed at one editor, instead of taking one of the obvious routes towards getting it deleted: either put a speedy delete tag on it or send it to AfD. What she did seems to me like an abuse of her authority. She could have blocked me for promotonal editing, which would have been wrong as well, but at least wouldn't have deleted an article without any process whatsoever.
So, I'm here because I don't know exactly what to do. I'm going to post a link to this comment on her talk page, and hope that perhaps this can be resolved in that way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beyond My Ken ( talk • contribs) 03:54, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Diannaa, thank you for your evaluation. @ Deb: Considering Diannaa's opinion, could you see your way clear to un-deleting the article and sending it to AfD, so that the community can decide on the subject's notability? With great frequency, an AfD nmination also provokes editing which takes care of the perceived faults of the article, such as promotionalism. BMK ( talk) 15:20, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I couldn't help with this earlier in the week, and now am basically on my way out and dropping off the few diffs I've managed to cull for you. I'd noticed the SeeSpotRun acct a while ago and see a lot of overlap. An edit summary search on "trivia" for a couple of accts might be helpful. I ran these: [3], [4], [5]. Here is another diff that might be helpful: [6]. I've published an incomplete table I made a while ago in a sandbox; it never got finished because going through those accts is tough, and I didn't want to be told what essentially I got told today. The best thing to do is to look at the text and maybe find someone (other than me) who can recognize the writing. If you have questions ping me or stop by my page; I'll check in every so often.

Hello lady! Please translate this article - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flurname
I have two editors who are edit-warring on the WRVQ by adding and readding a mass of original research with zero references or sources. I have tried to explain what they are doing wrong. But I am getting the usual "this is all correct" and "leave it alone" responses.
What they are adding is ripe with original research, PEACOCK terms, non-notable content, and of course zero references. Can you help? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 13:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa! You recently revdeleted Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at my request (thank you!). The COI editor, Lauralibal, has had at least four copyright warnings, and some fairly extensive explanation of what to do and to not do. I told her both in an edit summary and on her talk page that I'd ask for her to be blocked if she added more copyvio; she did (I assume all of it, but have only verified that part came from here). So here I am, asking. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 02:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Diannaa, I reverted your latest change because I was concerned that this is a part of a pattern that takes articles done in one referencing style and changes them. Check back on the history of this article c. 2012 and there was not a reason to change from one style to another. This is also not the first time you have done this. I have bit my tongue at the changes to the V-1 article, but I do need to make a protest and this is it.
FWiW Bzuk (

I should have mentioned that my tirade/rant/hissy fit was not entirely directed at you but at editors in general who do go about changing articles for style rather than content. Take this as the addled tale of a sick person (really- a ferocious cough and cold) as I also have taken the article off my watch list just like the other article to which I refer, and should have been more clear in stating it wasn't necessarily you that had edited the V-1 article.

Diannaa, I just saw this. While I understand why you stated that the IP's edits were not WP:Vandalism, the IP was engaging in WP:Disruptive editing. That is why I called the edits WP:Disruptive editing. And it can be difficult to communicate with an unregistered Wikipedia editor who does not have a stable IP address.

I've read the reasons A7 and G12. That makes no sense. A7 Means no importance. His music is amazing and loved world wide by the Pagan community. His music is of great importance. G12 States that copyright wasn't stated properly and that the page should only be deleted if it is completely corrupted and there was no accurate info to salvage.

Hi Diannaa, I am sending you this message because you are one of the admins, OTRS volunteers, or other editors who regularly deals with image issues. I would like to propose that we move to monthly {{ OTRS pending}} and {{ OTRS received}} categories and that we have a bot help out with automatically tagging images for deletion where the tag has been in place longer than the current {{ OTRS backlog}}. The purpose of this exercise is twofold: (1) it reduces potential duplication of effort in checking on images and (2) it prevents images for which we do not receive appropriate permission from sitting around longer than need be. My idea is at Wikipedia:OTRS_noticeboard#Proposal to move to dated pending and received categories and I would welcome your input. Thanks, -- B ( talk) 12:47, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Dear Diannaa, Last year you properly deleted material from the Claude Fredericks bio page that had been used without an express copyright license. The license has now been granted and I would appreciate it if you could confirm that it is now acceptable to draw material from the licensed source. Please see this talk page for details: Talk:Claude_Fredericks
Additionally, the Claude Fredericks page was flagged as having been edited by someone with a conflict of interest. I have indeed taken an interest in the life and work of Mr. Fredericks but I don't believe that I have a conflict of interest as described at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest After receiving an unsolicited review copy I wrote two articles about the Fredericks Journal over a five-year period in the Gay & Lesbian Review / Worldwide. I have no personal relationship with Mr. Fredericks (who died in 2013); in fact never even met him in person, though I did correspond with him and spoke a few times on the phone. I have no financial interest in any of the publications or affairs of Mr. Fredericks, or of the Claude Fredericks Foundation. I would appreciate your comment on the appropriateness of my editing this page. Robert Mack Mergy ( talk) 15:11, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi - I uploaded this photo to the article Clearwater River (British Columbia) on April 18. I've already done a lot of editing and additions to this article. I credited the photographer, Fritz Schaer, a friend of mine. Soon after, I got a message that an email from him showing permission was required. He sent me that permission. The instructions said "if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org." So I did that on April 21 and on April 24 you deleted the photo with an explanation "No evidence of permission for more than 7 days." What did I do wrong? Was Fritz' permission email not sufficient?

If not I surely understand as I am very time limited and busy already with another article I worked on long ago and trying to slowly update it so it doesn't get delisted. I'm going to also contact the primary editor on that article but she has been very sidetracked as well.

I was reading about the Nepal earthquake and talk page and saw a very constructive comment. I was going to reply to that person but see you have blocked the user. I sort of see your reason because the name has the word poop.
However, I voted in a Afd and a non administrator was seeing that he was the only keep vote so he thought of a made up excuse to remove my comments, saying that afd was not a vote and I put it in the wrong place. I thought that removing comments and a afd vote will result in a block but another admin isn't alarmed by this removing of votes.
I ask you to block Davie2010. If you do not, I will assume that occasional, not daily, removal of someone's afd vote is acceptable behavior that will not result in a block. I hope this isn't true.
Thank you in advance for blocking Davie2010. That helps wikipedia by preventing disruption and preventing copycats from disrupting wikipedia.

Hi Diannaa, I took my first class in Wikipedia editing at MOMA in March. I have been helped there to put up my first wikipedia article, about the art critic Claire Henry, but I didn't know that the text wasn't supposed to be from another published material, I thought that it was OK when It came from a reputable source like thescottishartarchive. Since than I've read more about how to write a wikipedia article and also how to get other editors opinions before publishing it. I would like to start working on my new version of the article which I've rewritten following the wiki guidelines.

Hi, Diannaa. :) There is a CCI request that I believe needs review by someone other than me or User:Justlettersandnumbers - Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations#BrillLyle. I'm trying to work down the backlog in those requests (it can take some time to review one!) but wanted to just ask if you could take a look at that one. The user feels personally targeted and, as it is not the most egregious case I've ever seen and I believe she is working in good faith, I would prefer to get more eyes. If you're not available for that, please just let me know, and I'll check with User:Wizardman. It can wait, but given the backlog I'm afraid it may wait a long time and be a bit painful while it does. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:07, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

I contacted a few Flickr photo uploader asking for their permission to use their images in WP. Three of them have given me permission to use on Wikipedia only, with three different conditions.(First-send him the link of the image i upload and the WIKIpage i use, Second- to mention his name on the image file name, third- To mention her blog as my reference)
Now i have little knowledge of this picture uploading and copyright things. Those Flickr users don't have WP account and it's least likely they will understand critical WP rules.
Few days ago i asked this question, if the pic-uploader gave me permission through E-Mail what i will do next? /info/en/?search=User_talk:CosmicEmperor#Help_request_2
Acagastya told me about WP:CONSENT. They gave me permission to use it on WP only, but this letter looks like they have to give permission for other websites also. This is strange.I don' like this line "I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites" in WP:CONSENT.
Now when I wanted to ask Acagastya, I was shocked to see that the user has retired and Huon blocked him.
If I send them flickr-mail, then what am i supposed to tell them? . I am very much confused. They gave me permission through flickr-mail but still I can't upload their images as I don't understand this WP laws. And I don't know how to make them understand, you have to write this below your image, then only I can upload
The answer given by Wikimedia commons is much more confusing, i didn't understand anything he said C E ( talk) 17:52, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Dear Diannaa,
I wrote an article on my novelist aunt Hilda Stewart Reid, from which you deleted the image last month for copyright reasons. The image was among newspaper clippings I found in Hilda Reid's papers, the clipping in question being a review of her novel Phillida, published in May 1928. The review was in a journal called Eve, The Lady's Pictorial, which I am sure has long ago ceased publication. The image was, I assume, provided to the journal by Hilda Reid's publisher, but as this is all 97 years ago I have no way of identifying or seeking permission from the copyright owner. Surely the image would in any case be out of copyright if it was published 97 years ago? I can, if you wish, provide you with a copy of clipping, showing that the drawing was published in 1928.
In these circumstances are you happy, please, that I upload the image again?
With best wishes, Yours, Alex Reid, 27 Millington Road, Cambridge UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexreid2 ( talk • contribs) 16:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Dan,
This is very helpful indeed.
Here's an update for you. I followed up on Mike's lead and managed to speak to the owner of Sports and Legends Pics Inc photos company last week. His name is Arthur Rosenberg and he told me that unfortunately there is no copyright on the pictures he sells because a copyright application had not been put in place. So, according to what he told me all pictures from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s shot under the agency names of National, Cosmopolitan and Bryant are all out of copyright and permission is not required. He said that if I wanted to purchase the prints listed on his website I could go right ahead and just pay the cost price for each print and use them in my book.

Hello,
I edited the "Rhomboid protease" entry on May 19th adding a new image ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=File:S-E_complex.png&action=edit&redlink=1). This was later deleted by you because of copyright concerns. Unfortunately I couldn't attend to this earlier to dispel the copyright concerns. I have made this image myself and it is based on a figure in my paper that is open access and I own the copyright to it. So there is no copyright problem. Could you please restore the image on the page? Or can you send me a screenshot of the page before you deleted the section so that I could regenerate it properly?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
If you scroll to the very bottom of the page you cite here, you will see that the authors of the article (i.e. myself) own the copyright for the *content*. The article is open access under a licence that allows reproduction. And that figure was not modified. Is this sufficient? So can this image be used now? What do you need as a proof?
Thanks for clarification. I can easily modify the figure to be different from the one in the paper, since I made it. :) Would that be then OK without any copyright issues? If this would be possible, can you just undelete the whole figure temporarily so that I can just upload a modified, different version of the image? It would simplify and speed up the whole process for me...Cheers. Kvido KvidoS ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:46, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. Just a quick note FYI - when you blocked
AmyMeredithPoehler recently, you used an amended version of the standard {{
uw-ublock}}
template, but we actually have a specific template for usernames which match the names of famous people: {{
Uw-ublock-famous}}
. It's a bit more detailed and has some useful information in the event that the user genuinely is a famous person. If you come across such users in the future (though to be honest, we don't see them very often), you might find it useful. All the best,

Di, I have a ticket about this draft, and should I ask for the undeletion or ask the editor to recreate the page? Willy Weazley 02:08, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi. You may remember me as the editor who brought the paid editor Greatink to the community's attention. [2] This wound up with you blocking Greatink and the article Whitehall Interiors NYC being AfD'd into a redirect to the article Goldstein, Hill & West Architects. You may also recall that I mentioned that I had previously heavily edited the GWHA article for promotionalism.
You may notice that the GHWA article is a red link. This is because an editor named User:Deb, who is an admin, just deleted it. Here's the sequence of events:
1.Deb removed the entire section which describes the three founders of the firm. (I can't give you a link, obviously, because the article is deleted) This was maybe a day or two ago. Her edit summary said that the whole section was promotional.
2. I reverted her, with an edit summary which said something to the effect that there may be some promotional stuff still there, but she should remove it and not the whole section
3. Moments ago, she reverted me. I cannot recall what her edit summary said.
4. I reverted her and chastised her as an admin edit-warring instead of discussing.
5. I went to the talk page and composed a comment to the effect that she should do some more surgical editing instead of deleting the whole section, which was about the three people who founded the firm. I may have missed some stuff, but there's no way it was all promotional.
6. When I went to post the comment, I found that the article had been deleted.
7. Deb posted a note on my talk page which says "Since you've declined to remove the highly promotional content from the article, I've had no option but to delete it. Please don't recreate it without addressing the issue."
Now, I think this is lousy behavior for an admin. Even if I'm wrong and that section of the article was "highly promotional" (which it certainly wasn't}, the subject has been vetted a number of times by highly experienced editors who determined it to be a notable firm. I don't understand why an admin would simply delete an article on a whim, or because they were vexed at one editor, instead of taking one of the obvious routes towards getting it deleted: either put a speedy delete tag on it or send it to AfD. What she did seems to me like an abuse of her authority. She could have blocked me for promotonal editing, which would have been wrong as well, but at least wouldn't have deleted an article without any process whatsoever.
So, I'm here because I don't know exactly what to do. I'm going to post a link to this comment on her talk page, and hope that perhaps this can be resolved in that way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beyond My Ken ( talk • contribs) 03:54, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
Diannaa, thank you for your evaluation. @ Deb: Considering Diannaa's opinion, could you see your way clear to un-deleting the article and sending it to AfD, so that the community can decide on the subject's notability? With great frequency, an AfD nmination also provokes editing which takes care of the perceived faults of the article, such as promotionalism. BMK ( talk) 15:20, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
I just nominated this page, one you recently restored, for CSD as a copyvio. I was wondering what request led you to undelete it, became the editor making the request could do with being informed, please. Fiddle Faddle 09:12, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, I couldn't help with this earlier in the week, and now am basically on my way out and dropping off the few diffs I've managed to cull for you. I'd noticed the SeeSpotRun acct a while ago and see a lot of overlap. An edit summary search on "trivia" for a couple of accts might be helpful. I ran these: [3], [4], [5]. Here is another diff that might be helpful: [6]. I've published an incomplete table I made a while ago in a sandbox; it never got finished because going through those accts is tough, and I didn't want to be told what essentially I got told today. The best thing to do is to look at the text and maybe find someone (other than me) who can recognize the writing. If you have questions ping me or stop by my page; I'll check in every so often.

Hello lady! Please translate this article - https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flurname
I have two editors who are edit-warring on the WRVQ by adding and readding a mass of original research with zero references or sources. I have tried to explain what they are doing wrong. But I am getting the usual "this is all correct" and "leave it alone" responses.
What they are adding is ripe with original research, PEACOCK terms, non-notable content, and of course zero references. Can you help? - Neutralhomer • Talk • 13:49, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa - sorry to bother you but at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Babasalichai/Archive the editor TLVEWR was discussed by you and others but no action was taken on that account - looks like it just fell through the cracks. the account "woke up" today per this.

Hi, Diannaa! You recently revdeleted Daniel K. Inouye College of Pharmacy at my request (thank you!). The COI editor, Lauralibal, has had at least four copyright warnings, and some fairly extensive explanation of what to do and to not do. I told her both in an edit summary and on her talk page that I'd ask for her to be blocked if she added more copyvio; she did (I assume all of it, but have only verified that part came from here). So here I am, asking. Justlettersandnumbers ( talk) 02:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
Diannaa, I reverted your latest change because I was concerned that this is a part of a pattern that takes articles done in one referencing style and changes them. Check back on the history of this article c. 2012 and there was not a reason to change from one style to another. This is also not the first time you have done this. I have bit my tongue at the changes to the V-1 article, but I do need to make a protest and this is it.
FWiW Bzuk (

I should have mentioned that my tirade/rant/hissy fit was not entirely directed at you but at editors in general who do go about changing articles for style rather than content. Take this as the addled tale of a sick person (really- a ferocious cough and cold) as I also have taken the article off my watch list just like the other article to which I refer, and should have been more clear in stating it wasn't necessarily you that had edited the V-1 article.

Diannaa, I just saw this. While I understand why you stated that the IP's edits were not WP:Vandalism, the IP was engaging in WP:Disruptive editing. That is why I called the edits WP:Disruptive editing. And it can be difficult to communicate with an unregistered Wikipedia editor who does not have a stable IP address.

I have no idea how this Wikipedia thing works tbh.
I've read the reasons A7 and G12. That makes no sense. A7 Means no importance. His music is amazing and loved world wide by the Pagan community. His music is of great importance. G12 States that copyright wasn't stated properly and that the page should only be deleted if it is completely corrupted and there was no accurate info to salvage.

Hi Diannaa, I am sending you this message because you are one of the admins, OTRS volunteers, or other editors who regularly deals with image issues. I would like to propose that we move to monthly {{ OTRS pending}} and {{ OTRS received}} categories and that we have a bot help out with automatically tagging images for deletion where the tag has been in place longer than the current {{ OTRS backlog}}. The purpose of this exercise is twofold: (1) it reduces potential duplication of effort in checking on images and (2) it prevents images for which we do not receive appropriate permission from sitting around longer than need be. My idea is at Wikipedia:OTRS_noticeboard#Proposal to move to dated pending and received categories and I would welcome your input. Thanks, -- B ( talk) 12:47, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
Dear Diannaa, Last year you properly deleted material from the Claude Fredericks bio page that had been used without an express copyright license. The license has now been granted and I would appreciate it if you could confirm that it is now acceptable to draw material from the licensed source. Please see this talk page for details: Talk:Claude_Fredericks
Additionally, the Claude Fredericks page was flagged as having been edited by someone with a conflict of interest. I have indeed taken an interest in the life and work of Mr. Fredericks but I don't believe that I have a conflict of interest as described at Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest After receiving an unsolicited review copy I wrote two articles about the Fredericks Journal over a five-year period in the Gay & Lesbian Review / Worldwide. I have no personal relationship with Mr. Fredericks (who died in 2013); in fact never even met him in person, though I did correspond with him and spoke a few times on the phone. I have no financial interest in any of the publications or affairs of Mr. Fredericks, or of the Claude Fredericks Foundation. I would appreciate your comment on the appropriateness of my editing this page. Robert Mack Mergy ( talk) 15:11, 28 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi - I uploaded this photo to the article Clearwater River (British Columbia) on April 18. I've already done a lot of editing and additions to this article. I credited the photographer, Fritz Schaer, a friend of mine. Soon after, I got a message that an email from him showing permission was required. He sent me that permission. The instructions said "if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org." So I did that on April 21 and on April 24 you deleted the photo with an explanation "No evidence of permission for more than 7 days." What did I do wrong? Was Fritz' permission email not sufficient?

Hello. Banff National Park is likely to go to FAR soon I suspect. I see you live in Alberta and was wondering if you might be interested in assisting on helping maintainand improve the article so it retains its FA level. If not I surely understand as I am very time limited and busy already with another article I worked on long ago and trying to slowly update it so it doesn't get delisted. I'm going to also contact the primary editor on that article but she has been very sidetracked as well.

I was reading about the Nepal earthquake and talk page and saw a very constructive comment. I was going to reply to that person but see you have blocked the user. I sort of see your reason because the name has the word poop.
However, I voted in a Afd and a non administrator was seeing that he was the only keep vote so he thought of a made up excuse to remove my comments, saying that afd was not a vote and I put it in the wrong place. I thought that removing comments and a afd vote will result in a block but another admin isn't alarmed by this removing of votes.
I ask you to block Davie2010. If you do not, I will assume that occasional, not daily, removal of someone's afd vote is acceptable behavior that will not result in a block. I hope this isn't true.
Thank you in advance for blocking Davie2010. That helps wikipedia by preventing disruption and preventing copycats from disrupting wikipedia.

Dannis243 is taking it upon himself to edit against the consensus reached concerning the infobox maps for Nazi Germany simply because he does not agree with the result. I have spoken to him, but he appears to be shrugging it off and has created another Talk Page section concerning the same issue. Director had spoken with him about the same issue back in March when the consensus was reached, but he has ignored my mention of it. He now claims that I am going against WP:ASSUME GOOD FAITH, but I am simply reverting his edits that were made against a prior discussion. Please can I have some assistance? Thank you.

Hi Diannaa, I took my first class in Wikipedia editing at MOMA in March. I have been helped there to put up my first wikipedia article, about the art critic Claire Henry, but I didn't know that the text wasn't supposed to be from another published material, I thought that it was OK when It came from a reputable source like thescottishartarchive. Since than I've read more about how to write a wikipedia article and also how to get other editors opinions before publishing it. I would like to start working on my new version of the article which I've rewritten following the wiki guidelines. But I noticed that if I want to use my sandbox to work on a new variation of the same article I have to contact you. Please help, Thank you, Mitzura2 Mitzura2 ( talk) 02:24, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks much for applying semi-protection for that article. Hopefully, it will get the message across and they will finally stop the repeated COI, OR vandalism.

Hi, Diannaa. :) There is a CCI request that I believe needs review by someone other than me or User:Justlettersandnumbers - Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations#BrillLyle. I'm trying to work down the backlog in those requests (it can take some time to review one!) but wanted to just ask if you could take a look at that one. The user feels personally targeted and, as it is not the most egregious case I've ever seen and I believe she is working in good faith, I would prefer to get more eyes. If you're not available for that, please just let me know, and I'll check with User:Wizardman. It can wait, but given the backlog I'm afraid it may wait a long time and be a bit painful while it does. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 11:07, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

I contacted a few Flickr photo uploader asking for their permission to use their images in WP. Three of them have given me permission to use on Wikipedia only, with three different conditions.(First-send him the link of the image i upload and the WIKIpage i use, Second- to mention his name on the image file name, third- To mention her blog as my reference)
Now i have little knowledge of this picture uploading and copyright things. Those Flickr users don't have WP account and it's least likely they will understand critical WP rules.
Few days ago i asked this question, if the pic-uploader gave me permission through E-Mail what i will do next? /info/en/?search=User_talk:CosmicEmperor#Help_request_2
Acagastya told me about WP:CONSENT. They gave me permission to use it on WP only, but this letter looks like they have to give permission for other websites also. This is strange.I don' like this line "I am aware that this agreement is not limited to Wikipedia or related sites" in WP:CONSENT.
Now when I wanted to ask Acagastya, I was shocked to see that the user has retired and Huon blocked him.
If I send them flickr-mail, then what am i supposed to tell them? . I am very much confused. They gave me permission through flickr-mail but still I can't upload their images as I don't understand this WP laws. And I don't know how to make them understand, you have to write this below your image, then only I can upload
The answer given by Wikimedia commons is much more confusing, i didn't understand anything he said C E ( talk) 17:52, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Dear Diannaa,
I wrote an article on my novelist aunt Hilda Stewart Reid, from which you deleted the image last month for copyright reasons. The image was among newspaper clippings I found in Hilda Reid's papers, the clipping in question being a review of her novel Phillida, published in May 1928. The review was in a journal called Eve, The Lady's Pictorial, which I am sure has long ago ceased publication. The image was, I assume, provided to the journal by Hilda Reid's publisher, but as this is all 97 years ago I have no way of identifying or seeking permission from the copyright owner. Surely the image would in any case be out of copyright if it was published 97 years ago? I can, if you wish, provide you with a copy of clipping, showing that the drawing was published in 1928.
In these circumstances are you happy, please, that I upload the image again?
With best wishes, Yours, Alex Reid, 27 Millington Road, Cambridge UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexreid2 ( talk • contribs) 16:12, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

As we re-work the article, we need to work Magda Goebbels into the Joseph Goebbels article in a better way. There is only a small mention of her in the "Early Life" section. She started working for him in 1930, I recall and they were married in December 1931. We could add the meeting and marriage in the chronological way or with a "family sub-section" near the end of the article. What do you think? Kierzek ( talk) 13:00, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

It is ok that you deleted the image of Jack Thompson in my Jack Silver article. There are other images I used in the article.

Thanks Dan,
This is very helpful indeed.
Here's an update for you. I followed up on Mike's lead and managed to speak to the owner of Sports and Legends Pics Inc photos company last week. His name is Arthur Rosenberg and he told me that unfortunately there is no copyright on the pictures he sells because a copyright application had not been put in place. So, according to what he told me all pictures from the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s shot under the agency names of National, Cosmopolitan and Bryant are all out of copyright and permission is not required. He said that if I wanted to purchase the prints listed on his website I could go right ahead and just pay the cost price for each print and use them in my book.

Hello,
I edited the "Rhomboid protease" entry on May 19th adding a new image ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=File:S-E_complex.png&action=edit&redlink=1). This was later deleted by you because of copyright concerns. Unfortunately I couldn't attend to this earlier to dispel the copyright concerns. I have made this image myself and it is based on a figure in my paper that is open access and I own the copyright to it. So there is no copyright problem. Could you please restore the image on the page? Or can you send me a screenshot of the page before you deleted the section so that I could regenerate it properly?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
If you scroll to the very bottom of the page you cite here, you will see that the authors of the article (i.e. myself) own the copyright for the *content*. The article is open access under a licence that allows reproduction. And that figure was not modified. Is this sufficient? So can this image be used now? What do you need as a proof?
Thanks for clarification. I can easily modify the figure to be different from the one in the paper, since I made it. :) Would that be then OK without any copyright issues? If this would be possible, can you just undelete the whole figure temporarily so that I can just upload a modified, different version of the image? It would simplify and speed up the whole process for me...Cheers. Kvido KvidoS ( talk) — Preceding undated comment added 13:46, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
