Why are you knocking all the images out of List of iconic drinkers? These images are all from the articles for the people, and are in the public domain. And the Library of Congress. If you would look at the other articles, you would see this. Read the Talk page for List of iconic drinkers about this. Thanks. K72ndst 03:38, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I must have found that photo somewhere on Wikipedia and brightened it up and re uploaded it. If it doesn't meet the current criteria for Wiki use, then I guess it will have to be deleted. I have no idea where it originally came from.

Good morning, today you reverted and purged the histories for Guillain-Barré syndrome and Serum sickness. I'm the one who reported those copyvios, and wonder if someone automatically reviews the other articles "contributed to" by the violator (probably a single editor using two IP address, one of which I have misplaced). I have notes on other suspect articles by that editor but did not want to report them until I saw how this played out for the first two. Thanks for doing what must be a tough job. -- CliffC 13:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
FYI, this user created a copyvio article at Acute motor axonal neuropathy and linked to it from Guillain-Barré syndrome; I have to wonder if he is a fresh incarnation of 208.101.102.186. -- CliffC 00:36, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Would you make a case for how the "title in other languages" deleted from Scrubs (TV series) is contraindicated by WP:NOT, either on User talk:Jac16888 or Talk:Scrubs (TV series)? I'm worried that User:Jac16888 is having his work deleted for reasons that from his perspective will seem Kafkaesque.

08:08, 19 August 2007 Garion96 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Francis X Livoti" (Delete per Wikipedia:Copyright problems)
Could you please tell me exactly why this article has been deleted? Which text/copyright violations warranted that it should be deleted. Also, how can it be modified in the future so that it won't be deleted?
Francis X Livoti has served his time for the state's charge of "violating" Anthony Baez's civil rights.
He has the right to tell his point of view and not have his life story redirected to Anthony Baez's page.
His redirect to Anthony Baez's page has been protected and does not cite any references or sources.
The Francis X Livoti article, when it was originally posted, was attacked repeatedly by others to the point that another administrator has violated Francis X Livoti's civil liberties by protecting and redirecting his story to Anthony Baez.
What about fair use? Under guidelines for non-free content, brief selections of copyrighted text may be used, but only with full attribution and only when the purpose is to comment on or criticize the text quoted.
The text taken straight from refs was originally mentioned later on within the article itself, but must have been inadvertantly ommitted in the most recent version.
An important rule of thumb when writing biographical material about living persons is "do no harm". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Biographies of living persons (BLP)s must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy.'
The article was written as conservatively as possible to reflect a biograpghy of a living person using reputable sources as references i.e. The NY Times.
Sincerely,
NOT REALLY A Whitegirl01 15:38, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
The problem is in step 4 since you would have a hard time argueing that the expansion is not a derivative of the copyvio and thus cannot be used as the basis of a GFDL work. Geni 18:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Did you trim the letter when you removed the {{ copyvio}} tag because you agreed that it was a copyright violation? Or did you disagree with the tagger, but jsut remove it on some other editorial grounds?
Cheers! Geo Swan 21:02, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello! I recently noted the deletion/act of reverting of some of the TobraDex article. I do realize, at this point, my mistake in incorrectly (more like failing to the) sourcing of reference materials for said article. If possible, I would ask if you could send me what was written on the article before the major revert back to its original state, so that I could properly cite necessary reference material. If you happen to have any sort of further tips/advice as well, it would be much appreciated. Thank you. Invalidsyntax 04:18, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Are you sure about album covers being forbidden, 'cause on The Adventures of Tintin, which seems an article with many people working on it, there's a whole album covers gallery.

Hello.. I'm surious why you deleted the image Image:Golda Meir School.jpg for copyright problems? I stated in my upload description that I took the photo myself. Has someone asserted otherwise? Sulfur 21:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
More people have voted to "keep" the unsourced Rashi photo. They are claiming they've seen it in old Public domain books and French Dictionaries. However, they fail to provide any sources. I like the photo myself, but what is the point of creating guidelines against uploading pictures from random websites and tagging them as free-content with out knowing the actual source if no one is going to enforce them? This is getting ridiculous! -- Ghostexorcist 21:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

This is a British film what's going on? This is an American film list ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
It of course was part American but it was probably the most British of Huston's films . I agree about if there is a free image then use it but I added a full rationale earlier and I have conferred with some of the image taggers that if I add a full rationale for only one image oer page it should be ok ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Well its not for decoration any more than images on film pages are. I believe an image of the most acclaimed film of each year is encyclopedic in looking at years in film. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
If a free image of a top film that is from the commons can be found then of course this is ok. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:16, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
How that now? American films of 1951. It is really a British film was it is part American. At least have an image of a character in it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:18, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Here was the rationale. Note it only applies if a free image cannot be located for a well known film of the year. You're right in this regard. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Ah Meester we meet again. It isn't a speedy but the copywright has been there for weeks and User:Sengkang who I am a great fan of has done little about it and doesn't regard it as important to address. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 09:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I must admit I love Sengkang;s articles on Singapore his contribution to the city is one of the best. Nearly every article is quality -he practically has the whole city on wikipedia - But direct copywright can't sit there for weeks really. I hope WikiProject Singapore will address it soon. Hope you are well ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 09:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The script has been jacked up since the "file history" format on Image description pages was changed last week. Looks like the script fails at the point when it tries to retrieve the name(s) of the uploader from the history. So it still works for functions with no uploader notification (like "Move to Commons") but fails for everything else. Howard left a note on his talk page last week that he would work it. I feel crippled also - it's a sign of how many people use the script that the number of listings at IfD and PUI have gone way down. I hope he has a chance to fix it soon.

I'm writing you since you deleted what became red links to that picture, and I cannot find out what happened to the picture itself. Obviously it was deleted; did you do that?
I'm asking because I put the picture up here. I believed it was OK to use, since it was from the cover of a record album that's long out of print. Do you know the rules governing this? It's a shame, because it was a really nice picture of both the instrument and its creator.
I'll watch this page for replies. + ILike2BeAnonymous 23:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed Image:Sabrina Lloyd in Sports Night.JPG from the Sabrina Lloyd article. Even though it has a very clear source and fair use rationale. Congratulations on that btw, not many non-free image have that. However the image is still replaceable with a free content image per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria#1. Garion96 (talk) 18:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, the image is depicting a certain point in the actress Sabrina Lloyds career, I have again placed the image in the Sabrina Lloyd article along with a caption explaining exactly what the image is off. The image is a screen shot and is depicting the time in Sabrina Lloyds carer when she was a cast member of Sports Night, another image could not replace the image because no other image would adequately represent this and therefore it is the only useable image and should remain in the article. MR-WRIGLEY (talk) 19:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, Does this mean that the image is permitted to be place in a different section of the article relating more directly to Sports Night, and also what type of image is permitted to be placed in the infobox. MR-WRIGLEY (talk) 19:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, But if I were to upload a different image, copyright would be an issue, with a screen shot image copyright is not an issue because of the fair use rationale provided, another image would do, but there are no other images available on Wikipedia, making this the only image that can be used, if this image is the only image available then it cannot be replaced, unless you upload an image and apply the correct free use details. In this case, this image is the only one available, and it gives readers an understanding of what Sabina Lloyd looks like, since the image is perfectly acceptable to be housed on Wikipedia, why can it not be used in the article about the person whenever it is the only image that can be used, isn't it better to use this image until a more fitting image comes rather than having people not know what the person looks like at all. MR-WRIGLEY (talk) MR-WRIGLEY 19:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, Please explain to me what a sock user is, I created a wikipedia account because I wanted to have one if I ever so mistake on pages of interest, I live in a house with several other people who could be who you are thinking off. The reason I am uploading this image is because I discovered the image in my folder, I had previously heard of and seen the persons work and decided that since there was no image on her page I might aswell of uploaded the image. I myself have never previously had a Wikipedia account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MR-WRIGLEY ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Garion - I'm kinda new to the whole Wikimedia commons scene although I have been aware of it's use for a while now.

Hi Garion96. I know that you take good care of Michael's page so I wanted to run an idea by you. Infoboxes have a spot for the personal website for the people that the page is about. In the case of Michael's page the one used is actually the site for his travel series. Now it is a well done site giving info about, and selling items from, his various series, but, I don't think that is valid to have it in the infobox. I do think that, in spite of the commercial nature of it, that it would be fine as an external link, but, to me, it doesn't meet the criteria for being in the infobox. However, I will defer to your thoughts and if you are okay with it there I will leave it alone. I look forward to your thoughts and thanks for you time in this matter. MarnetteD | Talk 21:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
You deleted my entry for artist Barbara Rosenthal because you think I violated copyright, but if you'll notice, I wrote, and signed, both the article for Wikipedia, and the link from the-artists.org to the Video History Archive at Experimental TV Center. I don't see why I should have to write a completely new article if only to say the same information. What do you suggest -- I want to have an article about this artist in Wikipedia.

I reverted the edit by User:98.196.103.246 because of notability. Yes, Sela Ward was in Suburban Madness but she was in dozens of other TV movies, too, and they aren't included in the filmography. If any one should be singled it out, it should be Almost Golden: The Jessica Savitch Story, for which she won acting awards. But it isn't. Suburban Madness is no more noteworthy than any of her others except in the mind of User:98.196.103.246. This user seems to make no other edits on Wiki except about that one TV movie, repeatedly altering pages on related topics like private investigators to include mentions of it (much to the consternation of editors of those pages). I left an entire passage about it on the Sela Ward article in hopes of placating the user. If Suburban Madness warrants inclusion then wouldn't ALL her TV movies deserve inclusion, regardless of notability or linkability? I can do that but I thought it would be better to winnow it down.

The text taken straight from refs was originally mentioned later on within the article itself, but must have been inadvertantly ommitted in the most recent version.
An important rule of thumb when writing biographical material about living persons is "do no harm". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives. Biographies of living persons (BLP)s must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy.'
The article was written as conservatively as possible to reflect a biograpghy of a living person using reputable sources as references i.e. The NY Times.

The problem is in step 4 since you would have a hard time argueing that the expansion is not a derivative of the copyvio and thus cannot be used as the basis of a GFDL work. Geni 18:40, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Did you trim the letter when you removed the {{ copyvio}} tag because you agreed that it was a copyright violation? Or did you disagree with the tagger, but jsut remove it on some other editorial grounds?

Hello! I recently noted the deletion/act of reverting of some of the TobraDex article. I do realize, at this point, my mistake in incorrectly (more like failing to the) sourcing of reference materials for said article. If possible, I would ask if you could send me what was written on the article before the major revert back to its original state, so that I could properly cite necessary reference material. If you happen to have any sort of further tips/advice as well, it would be much appreciated. Thank you. Invalidsyntax 04:18, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Could you explain to User:Neutralhomer why the Abby Sciuto picture is not fair use for the Pauley Perrette article? I don't think I am explaining it right. Kat, Queen of Typos 23:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
Are you sure about album covers being forbidden, 'cause on The Adventures of Tintin, which seems an article with many people working on it, there's a whole album covers gallery. I thought album covers in low resolution are allowed, since they are only meant for identification purposes.. Please explain to me. Either way, thanks for the notification. -- Sandpiper800 21:57, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Hello.. I'm surious why you deleted the image Image:Golda Meir School.jpg for copyright problems? I stated in my upload description that I took the photo myself. Has someone asserted otherwise? Sulfur 21:16, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
More people have voted to "keep" the unsourced Rashi photo. They are claiming they've seen it in old Public domain books and French Dictionaries. However, they fail to provide any sources. I like the photo myself, but what is the point of creating guidelines against uploading pictures from random websites and tagging them as free-content with out knowing the actual source if no one is going to enforce them? This is getting ridiculous! -- Ghostexorcist 21:20, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. Just a quick update to that Chamberlain image debate, in case you missed it. See what I wrote here. Carcharoth 00:13, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
This is a British film what's going on? This is an American film list ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
It of course was part American but it was probably the most British of Huston's films . I agree about if there is a free image then use it but I added a full rationale earlier and I have conferred with some of the image taggers that if I add a full rationale for only one image oer page it should be ok ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:09, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Well its not for decoration any more than images on film pages are. I believe an image of the most acclaimed film of each year is encyclopedic in looking at years in film. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
If a free image of a top film that is from the commons can be found then of course this is ok. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:16, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
How that now? American films of 1951. It is really a British film was it is part American. At least have an image of a character in it ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:18, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Here was the rationale. Note it only applies if a free image cannot be located for a well known film of the year. You're right in this regard. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:20, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
Ah Meester we meet again. It isn't a speedy but the copywright has been there for weeks and User:Sengkang who I am a great fan of has done little about it and doesn't regard it as important to address. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 09:19, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I must admit I love Sengkang;s articles on Singapore his contribution to the city is one of the best. Nearly every article is quality -he practically has the whole city on wikipedia - But direct copywright can't sit there for weeks really. I hope WikiProject Singapore will address it soon. Hope you are well ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 09:26, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Good idea. I'm just very very surprised that someone who has the motivation to create articles like Sengkang hasn't bothered to attend to it. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 18:12, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The script has been jacked up since the "file history" format on Image description pages was changed last week. Looks like the script fails at the point when it tries to retrieve the name(s) of the uploader from the history. So it still works for functions with no uploader notification (like "Move to Commons") but fails for everything else. Howard left a note on his talk page last week that he would work it. I feel crippled also - it's a sign of how many people use the script that the number of listings at IfD and PUI have gone way down. I hope he has a chance to fix it soon.

Hello Garion, I think the blocking of User:Wyndhammafia failed - they vandalised again this morning, severl hours after you'd posted on their talk page about blocking them indefinitely. Their block log is empty, too. Since they are patently only here to vandalise, you might want to take a look at it. Thanks :-) -- Bonadea 20:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm writing you since you deleted what became red links to that picture, and I cannot find out what happened to the picture itself. Obviously it was deleted; did you do that?
I'm asking because I put the picture up here. I believed it was OK to use, since it was from the cover of a record album that's long out of print. Do you know the rules governing this? It's a shame, because it was a really nice picture of both the instrument and its creator.
I'll watch this page for replies. + ILike2BeAnonymous 23:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

I removed Image:Sabrina Lloyd in Sports Night.JPG from the Sabrina Lloyd article. Even though it has a very clear source and fair use rationale. Congratulations on that btw, not many non-free image have that. However the image is still replaceable with a free content image per Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria#1. Garion96 (talk) 18:12, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, the image is depicting a certain point in the actress Sabrina Lloyds career, I have again placed the image in the Sabrina Lloyd article along with a caption explaining exactly what the image is off. The image is a screen shot and is depicting the time in Sabrina Lloyds carer when she was a cast member of Sports Night, another image could not replace the image because no other image would adequately represent this and therefore it is the only useable image and should remain in the article. MR-WRIGLEY (talk) 19:11, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, Does this mean that the image is permitted to be place in a different section of the article relating more directly to Sports Night, and also what type of image is permitted to be placed in the infobox. MR-WRIGLEY (talk) 19:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, But if I were to upload a different image, copyright would be an issue, with a screen shot image copyright is not an issue because of the fair use rationale provided, another image would do, but there are no other images available on Wikipedia, making this the only image that can be used, if this image is the only image available then it cannot be replaced, unless you upload an image and apply the correct free use details. In this case, this image is the only one available, and it gives readers an understanding of what Sabina Lloyd looks like, since the image is perfectly acceptable to be housed on Wikipedia, why can it not be used in the article about the person whenever it is the only image that can be used, isn't it better to use this image until a more fitting image comes rather than having people not know what the person looks like at all. MR-WRIGLEY (talk) MR-WRIGLEY 19:46, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Comment, Please explain to me what a sock user is, I created a wikipedia account because I wanted to have one if I ever so mistake on pages of interest, I live in a house with several other people who could be who you are thinking off. The reason I am uploading this image is because I discovered the image in my folder, I had previously heard of and seen the persons work and decided that since there was no image on her page I might aswell of uploaded the image. I myself have never previously had a Wikipedia account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MR-WRIGLEY ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Garion - I'm kinda new to the whole Wikimedia commons scene although I have been aware of it's use for a while now. I have transferred this to here but do not know what to do with the wikipedia version.

Hi Garion96. I know that you take good care of Michael's page so I wanted to run an idea by you. Infoboxes have a spot for the personal website for the people that the page is about. In the case of Michael's page the one used is actually the site for his travel series. Now it is a well done site giving info about, and selling items from, his various series, but, I don't think that is valid to have it in the infobox. I do think that, in spite of the commercial nature of it, that it would be fine as an external link, but, to me, it doesn't meet the criteria for being in the infobox. However, I will defer to your thoughts and if you are okay with it there I will leave it alone. I look forward to your thoughts and thanks for you time in this matter. MarnetteD | Talk 21:12, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
You deleted my entry for artist Barbara Rosenthal because you think I violated copyright, but if you'll notice, I wrote, and signed, both the article for Wikipedia, and the link from the-artists.org to the Video History Archive at Experimental TV Center. I don't see why I should have to write a completely new article if only to say the same information. What do you suggest -- I want to have an article about this artist in Wikipedia. She's becoming increasingly important, having had solo shows in Beijing and Moscow in the last 2 years, and is showing in NYC right now.

Thx for your help with the Panorama stitchers, viewers and utilities page but John Spikowski has now put his promo page at Panorama Stitchers, Viewers and Utilities.

I reverted the edit by User:98.196.103.246 because of notability. Yes, Sela Ward was in Suburban Madness but she was in dozens of other TV movies, too, and they aren't included in the filmography. If any one should be singled it out, it should be Almost Golden: The Jessica Savitch Story, for which she won acting awards. But it isn't. Suburban Madness is no more noteworthy than any of her others except in the mind of User:98.196.103.246. This user seems to make no other edits on Wiki except about that one TV movie, repeatedly altering pages on related topics like private investigators to include mentions of it (much to the consternation of editors of those pages). I left an entire passage about it on the Sela Ward article in hopes of placating the user. If Suburban Madness warrants inclusion then wouldn't ALL her TV movies deserve inclusion, regardless of notability or linkability? I can do that but I thought it would be better to winnow it down.

I saw indication of a copyright problem which I have dealt with THREE times before. Every single thing on that page is owned by me. I've said this three times before.
Would you like me to write it in blood on a napkin and mail it to you?
