Dear GentlemanGhost, in the past you have shown interest in the article 24/24 World Concert. I have listed it for deletion since I believe that it is too early to establish its notability. I would appreciate if you can take a look at the AfD and add your opinion to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/24/24 World Concert. Best regards, gidonb 13:58, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Please see my answer to your comments at User_talk:Gidonb#Vanity_page.3F. My excuses for the impersonal language of the message above, especially after you referred me to a related article. In order not to lobby one outcome or another, I added this standard message to the talk pages of all those who participated at some stage in editing the page, including its creator. It is always advisable to be consistent in these matters. Best regards and keep up the good work! Regards, gidonb 01:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
No offense taken at the impersonal nature of the post. Moreover, I appreciate the kudos and the interest. It's good to know it's not for naught. GentlemanGhost 03:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Please leave the deletion notices for my article (Mrozinski). No disrespect intended but my personal info has been edited repeatedly and erroneously, and I want the article deleted. Please comply with my wishes. Mrozinski 14:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Gidonb has made a final edit and hopefully you all will leave this page for deletion. It seems to have been the target of interest for people with no stake in its content. Now they can move on to objects of more legitimate concern and leave me alone. I do not know why everyone insisted on editing a page which is about me, but I guess I should be flattered. I hope they are happy to find someone else to harrass. Mrozinski 16:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Would you do me a favor and STOP FUCKING WITH MY INFORMATION. I don't know what your problem with me is, I am not a therapist, but I really think you need to take care of your own control issues. By the way you are neither a gentleman or a ghost. Take care of your own life and back off. Let this page be deleted and concentrate on your own excuse for existence. Mrozinski 02:09, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
In the past you have shown some interest in the Mrozinski article. I have nominated it for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mrozinski. Regards, gidonb 17:59, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Howdy, as you may have suspected, earlier versions of the Public Image Ltd. were written in a way that compared the band's history to the plot of Spinal Tap. While this was funny, it wasn't very encyclopedic and so most of the references were removed, but not all of them as you've discovered. Just FYI/FWIW. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:44, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
I saw the improvement you made to the article about James Randi. Would you look at the article Philip J. Klass, and see if it needs similar improvements? Thank you. Bubba73 (talk), 00:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
Baklunish Basin has been proposed for deletion. If possible, please comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baklunish Basin. Thanks. -- Robbstrd 17:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
You have an "etc." after the three articles you name as having edit wars going on. [1] You might want to list those articles so people can check them out. Getting dragged into an edit war over a newcomer's insistence on adding a "Batman as villain" section to the Batman article is driving me nuts. I've found that strength in numbers can help resolve these things without any one person wearing him/herself to death over it. I'd like to offer my two cents on these edit wars, to lend a hand to whoever is trying to bring them to an appropriate conclusion. Hopefully I won't get drawn into the whole-scale battle, but like I said, just showing strength in numbers, bringing in a variety of perspectives, can really help. Doczilla 07:02, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
This is the first time I've seen this thread, so I hope you don't mind if I comment. When User:Asgardian first appeared and started editing comics-related articles, I attempted to dialogue with him and explain why many of his edits weren't appropriate and refered him to the guidelines and policies that covered those edits. He became very combative, essentially dismissing anything that didn't meet his standards and would simply revert to his preferred version. I attempted to get a couple of admins involved in the discussion without any success. After weeks or months, I gave up trying to explain why his edits were being reverted and just did it. Others have occasionally become involved on a specific article or type of edit, and more often than not my interpretation has been supported by others. CovenantD 20:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi CovenantD. What did you find objectionable within the Civil War section of Wiccan (comics)? It wasn't immediately apparent to me. -- GentlemanGhost 20:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
You know, you kinda did that page move in the wrong way. By merely copying and pasting the contents, you lose the edit history of the article. There are other methods of moving articles that are more effective. See WP:MOVE. — Gordon P. Hemsley→ ✉ 00:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Just a question, but what was the reasoning for bumping the rating?
I had noted that I may have low-balled it in the "rating comments' when taking it down from "Top". It maybe worthwhile for the project as a whole for the reasoning for the bump be noted in the same section so that others can apply the same standards across the project.
Thanks for listening... — J Greb 15:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
1. Cited examples [3] are from more than 24 hrs.
2. It is not for you to judge.
Asgardian 00:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm. Well, if the edit warring continues, you can always try WP:RPP. At least we now know who is who. ;-) Khoi khoi 05:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I've protected Galactus. I'm not sure if the other pages need it though. If the edit wars continue once the page is unprotected, it's time to start blocking the edit warriors instead. I've seen sevral admins use this method instead of protecting pages. Khoi khoi 03:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
To follow up on previous discussions, I've posted a few potential solutions there. - jc37 23:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
There's been a Request for Comment initiated at Talk:Whizzer#Request for comment over style and content issues between two versions of Whizzer, one by Tenebrae, the other by Asgardian.
You're a regular and diligent contributor to WikiProject Comics and to the Whizzer article, and so might be a knowledgeable and disinterested party who could add an informed opinion. -- Tenebrae 13:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support for the image, I just want to tell you the issue has been resolved on User:Veinors talk page because he realized I wasn't trying to replace the original comic book image, but to illustrate its specialty by showing it in its packaging and its quality rating, but again thanks. Rodrigue 23:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
True, but he jumped in on a completely unrelated article to try and get a rise out of me. Happens a lot.
Asgardian 02:17, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi JC, any chance you'd like to step in at Vision (Marvel Comics)? There was some dialogue going on and there has been some compromise (I think the move issue has been settled), but it seems like an impasse has been reached. Currently, the discussion is taking place via edit summaries on reverts, which is not exactly ideal. -- GentlemanGhost 09:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Jc, just as someone watching from the sidelines, and mostly reading the edit sums and not going through the edits themselves, I second GG's request. The "snark" content, for lack of a better, printable, term, is rising fast as per this (bulk revert after multiple incremental edits by DrBat, this (another near total revert of other editor's contribs, whit an inappropriate ES comment), and this (another blanket revert). The last one is really troubling since it reads as condescending and makes the editor's immediately preceding ES read as an insult by sarcasm. - J Greb 08:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Marioman22 is acting as a sockpuppeteer to continue to edit Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus against the consensus that was already built. I have posted the sockpuppet template in both of their talk pages, but I don't know what else to do. I figure you would be able to help since you have much more experience than I do. Thanks!! -- Freak104 21:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
No problem. I thought you might be amused. -- GentlemanGhost 17:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Graphic Novels is a proper noun and part of Warhammer 40,000. The article isn't about comic books, but only about the plot that is companion to Warhammer, i.e. the fluff, and how that ties in with miniatures. The page was intended as that, hence Graphic Novels (the publishing project) followed by disamb (Warhammer 40,000) to keep it from being confused with a page on graphic novels in general. The user, someguy, is currently wikistalking me. He moved it in order to try and cause me distress. Hence, if you look, he moved it just five hours after the page was created, and he is not a member of either project, nor has he ever edited pages on Warhammer before. SanchiTachi 18:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Deleted previous to return to current: I have updated User:SanchiTachi/Graphic Novels Current. Please look it over and see which areas need more added (limit to only a few that I can manage on my own and tonight). It is a slow process trying to create a whole page when people from the project are on break for Memorial Day. SanchiTachi 01:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear GentlemanGhost. Please forgive my editing on Wikipedia. I'm very new, and only 14. I thought that editing the page would ONLY effect my view of it. I'm sorry, and I've learned better. I hope that this message goes to you, and if it doesn't please tell me how to message you or contact you!
-James.
Thanks - although I don't think it did much good in the long run. I suppose the only thing is that there were enough people involved that he wasn't able to intimidate us off. If it'd been just me and him I'd have just walked away. The sad thing is that at least 3 people have said they've left the Warhamer 40k Project because of him which is a bad state of affairs. I see at least one has signed back up so perhaps the loss of an informed editor (even if he seemed to miss the point of teamwork) will be balanced by more people feeling they can contribute. I stumbled across him on another Warhammer 40k wiki and as he has learned precisely nothing from this I fear he might poison their project. He isn't my problem anymore though so that is the important thing.
The sad thing is he was wrong on so many things but refused to even take on board the idea he might have been. For example the above issue he mentions. There is no Graphic Novel project. The Black Library page on the trade paperbacks calls them Graphic Novels and they print GRAPHIC NOVEL on the cover. However, they call the novels, Novels and print NOVELS on the front. I suspect this is to help people avoid confusion about what is what. It certainly isn't indicative of some wider plan. As mentioned he utterly failed to provide a reference for it and was trying to prove it existed by juxtaposing the two sets of information which isn't on. Ironically the new entry he started made no such claims and had a much better range and scope.
Anyway thanks for the help too - the more level heads involved the better (granted it got messy but it could have been worse). ( Emperor 14:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for cleaning up my user page! -- GentlemanGhost 11:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Just something I've been deliberately trying to do with them...
I've been trying to keep the cover cats strictly limited to scans of the covers as published, with logos, titles, prices, etc included. Everything else is essentially just images, even it it is the art that eventually winds up on the on the cover.
- J Greb 07:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I noticed you added the template for the Food and Drink Wikiproject on the Strawberry article talk page. You may want to include Garden strawberry either in addition to or instead of the Strawberry article, as that is the article that discusses the use of the strawberry as food (including nutrition information). It seems like that would be a better candidate for the Wikiproject. HeirloomGardener 01:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
I've restored the image and added a rationale. Have a look and see if there's anything else needs adding or expanding. Steve block Talk 17:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Which usage of Image:10000Days.jpg were you writing a rationale for? It is used in 3 places, but you have only added one rationale. ~ Bigr Tex 15:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi GentlemanGhost.
Thanks for letting me know about the Blackadder image. As you surmised however, I only edited the file, it was originally uploaded by User:Crestville. I get a lot of notifications about images I have edited, mainly because the bot reads the last user name on the image page. I'm not really bothered what happens to the image, but thanks for the thought anyway. Regards, Ian Dunster 09:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I think I understand why you added "|*" to the cat listing. It brings the two up to the first page. But it does make the others look a bit odd (M, Q, B?)... Should the others be similarly treated?
- J Greb 18:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I've been following your thread regarding Asgardian ( talk · contribs). For once, I have something to say in his defense. The video game information that he excises from the comics articles falls under the category "Wikipedia is not a game guide". Although WikiProject Comics's exemplars are not very specific, the "in other media" section does say that this information should emphasize differences in the characterization, if any. The stuff that he takes out is never about that, it's usually "so-and-so appears as a boss on this level" or sometimes it's a summary of game plot. In my opinion, this kind of thing belongs in the game's article, not the character's article. However, since the exemplars aren't specific, I brought it up on the project's talk page. It was a valuable discussion and the general feeling was that the "in other media" section should be concise unless the other media contributed greatly to the understanding of the character. Consequently, I'd say that Asgardian's deletions are in keeping with the community consensus, at least in this area. There are plenty of other reasons to mediate or arbitrate, but I don't think this is a strong one. Cheers, GentlemanGhost 17:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is indeed based on Prod, but it works fundamentally different. The idea of Prod is to remove articles if nobody objects, so any objection counters the Prod. The idea of this DFU template is to remove images lacking a fair use rationale, and this may be countered only by adding such a rationale. So to avoid confusing people, I'd say the two templates should not look the same. >Radiant< 07:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
They must be the best kind of bad girl I'd imagine. ;)
In some ways it is true - it might sell a lot due to the sex angle but the reviews all give it a lot of praise for story and art. I might not give Lady Death and the like house room but I might be interested checking out the big fat collected volume (if it had wider availability).
So from what I've read of other people's opinions I'm afraid I'd need a lot of convincing that she doesn't count and it seems she is a major example so I think it needs mentioning on her entry. Anyway we'll see how it works out. ( Emperor 19:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC))
I see no problem with the continued heavy tagging. It is better to have tagged articles that are unassessed than to not have them part of the project at all. Some guys like myself will just have to put a bit more time into assessment, you've doubled our articles for the project and I am very happy to see that. People seeing those tags as well will invite people to join the project. Perhaps I will think of editing the tag to have an invitation to join the project as Warfreak had suggested to get more people involved. Any word on that tagging bot?-- Christopher Tanner, CCC 17:36, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
GG, any idea about this? It took a lot of work to source all those users. I think the Exceptions section has merit. A blind wipe seems a tad much.
Asgardian 05:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Now I have discovered that a handful of people just decided to rewrite the trivia tag. This is going to create a huge mess. I just told them so, but I'm just one voice. [9] Doczilla 05:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Is really starting to annoy me, because for every tag you place, its another one I have to judge. I hope there will be a finite supply to stop you. -- Warfreak 10:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Overzealous seems a bit non intentionally insulting to say though Warfreak. I particularly appreciate that the project has someone tagging so many articles for the project. It is better to have numerous articles tagged for the project unassessed than not at all. As I had mentioned on the project page I will add a comment on getting other members to help in the next newsletter. With GentlemanGhost's assistance we have been able to finally get our number above our smaller off shoot projects, which seemed before that point slightly embarrassing to have them garnering more articles to work on than us. I think we should be thanking him over chastising him.-- Christopher Tanner, CCC 06:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mexican Radio.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:U1ModuleCover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 19:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Would it be possible for your to review your image uploads to [10], adding sourcing information (noted some already have this) and a DETAILED fair use rationale? If possible it would be much appreciated if you could do the same for other uploads in the same category. :) ShakespeareFan00 10:58, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Baklunish Basin has been proposed for deletion. If possible, please comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baklunish Basin. Thanks. -- Robbstrd 17:52, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
You have an "etc." after the three articles you name as having edit wars going on. [1] You might want to list those articles so people can check them out. Getting dragged into an edit war over a newcomer's insistence on adding a "Batman as villain" section to the Batman article is driving me nuts. I've found that strength in numbers can help resolve these things without any one person wearing him/herself to death over it. I'd like to offer my two cents on these edit wars, to lend a hand to whoever is trying to bring them to an appropriate conclusion. Hopefully I won't get drawn into the whole-scale battle, but like I said, just showing strength in numbers, bringing in a variety of perspectives, can really help.

This is the first time I've seen this thread, so I hope you don't mind if I comment. When User:Asgardian first appeared and started editing comics-related articles, I attempted to dialogue with him and explain why many of his edits weren't appropriate and refered him to the guidelines and policies that covered those edits. He became very combative, essentially dismissing anything that didn't meet his standards and would simply revert to his preferred version. I attempted to get a couple of admins involved in the discussion without any success. After weeks or months, I gave up trying to explain why his edits were being reverted and just did it. Others have occasionally become involved on a specific article or type of edit, and more often than not my interpretation has been supported by others. CovenantD 20:38, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi CovenantD. What did you find objectionable within the Civil War section of Wiccan (comics)? It wasn't immediately apparent to me. -- GentlemanGhost 20:13, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
You know, you kinda did that page move in the wrong way. By merely copying and pasting the contents, you lose the edit history of the article. There are other methods of moving articles that are more effective. See WP:MOVE. — Gordon P. Hemsley→ ✉ 00:00, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Just a question, but what was the reasoning for bumping the rating?
I had noted that I may have low-balled it in the "rating comments' when taking it down from "Top". It maybe worthwhile for the project as a whole for the reasoning for the bump be noted in the same section so that others can apply the same standards across the project.
Thanks for listening... — J Greb 15:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
1. Cited examples [3] are from more than 24 hrs.
2. It is not for you to judge.
Asgardian 00:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Hmmm. Well, if the edit warring continues, you can always try WP:RPP. At least we now know who is who. ;-) Khoi khoi 05:50, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I've protected Galactus. I'm not sure if the other pages need it though. If the edit wars continue once the page is unprotected, it's time to start blocking the edit warriors instead. I've seen sevral admins use this method instead of protecting pages. Khoi khoi 03:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

There's been a Request for Comment initiated at Talk:Whizzer#Request for comment over style and content issues between two versions of Whizzer, one by Tenebrae, the other by Asgardian.
You're a regular and diligent contributor to WikiProject Comics and to the Whizzer article, and so might be a knowledgeable and disinterested party who could add an informed opinion. -- Tenebrae 13:51, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your support for the image, I just want to tell you the issue has been resolved on User:Veinors talk page because he realized I wasn't trying to replace the original comic book image, but to illustrate its specialty by showing it in its packaging and its quality rating, but again thanks. Rodrigue 23:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
True, but he jumped in on a completely unrelated article to try and get a rise out of me. Happens a lot.

Hi JC, any chance you'd like to step in at Vision (Marvel Comics)? There was some dialogue going on and there has been some compromise (I think the move issue has been settled), but it seems like an impasse has been reached. Currently, the discussion is taking place via edit summaries on reverts, which is not exactly ideal. -- GentlemanGhost 09:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Jc, just as someone watching from the sidelines, and mostly reading the edit sums and not going through the edits themselves, I second GG's request. The "snark" content, for lack of a better, printable, term, is rising fast as per this (bulk revert after multiple incremental edits by DrBat, this (another near total revert of other editor's contribs, whit an inappropriate ES comment), and this (another blanket revert). The last one is really troubling since it reads as condescending and makes the editor's immediately preceding ES read as an insult by sarcasm. - J Greb 08:01, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
Marioman22 is acting as a sockpuppeteer to continue to edit Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus against the consensus that was already built. I have posted the sockpuppet template in both of their talk pages, but I don't know what else to do. I figure you would be able to help since you have much more experience than I do. Thanks!! -- Freak104 21:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
No problem. I thought you might be amused. -- GentlemanGhost 17:11, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Graphic Novels is a proper noun and part of Warhammer 40,000. The article isn't about comic books, but only about the plot that is companion to Warhammer, i.e. the fluff, and how that ties in with miniatures. The page was intended as that, hence Graphic Novels (the publishing project) followed by disamb (Warhammer 40,000) to keep it from being confused with a page on graphic novels in general. The user, someguy, is currently wikistalking me. He moved it in order to try and cause me distress. Hence, if you look, he moved it just five hours after the page was created, and he is not a member of either project, nor has he ever edited pages on Warhammer before. SanchiTachi 18:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
Deleted previous to return to current: I have updated User:SanchiTachi/Graphic Novels Current. Please look it over and see which areas need more added (limit to only a few that I can manage on my own and tonight). It is a slow process trying to create a whole page when people from the project are on break for Memorial Day. SanchiTachi 01:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
Dear GentlemanGhost. Please forgive my editing on Wikipedia. I'm very new, and only 14. I thought that editing the page would ONLY effect my view of it. I'm sorry, and I've learned better. I hope that this message goes to you, and if it doesn't please tell me how to message you or contact you!
-James.
Thanks - although I don't think it did much good in the long run. I suppose the only thing is that there were enough people involved that he wasn't able to intimidate us off. If it'd been just me and him I'd have just walked away. The sad thing is that at least 3 people have said they've left the Warhamer 40k Project because of him which is a bad state of affairs. I see at least one has signed back up so perhaps the loss of an informed editor (even if he seemed to miss the point of teamwork) will be balanced by more people feeling they can contribute. I stumbled across him on another Warhammer 40k wiki and as he has learned precisely nothing from this I fear he might poison their project. He isn't my problem anymore though so that is the important thing.
The sad thing is he was wrong on so many things but refused to even take on board the idea he might have been. For example the above issue he mentions. There is no Graphic Novel project. The Black Library page on the trade paperbacks calls them Graphic Novels and they print GRAPHIC NOVEL on the cover. However, they call the novels, Novels and print NOVELS on the front. I suspect this is to help people avoid confusion about what is what. It certainly isn't indicative of some wider plan. As mentioned he utterly failed to provide a reference for it and was trying to prove it existed by juxtaposing the two sets of information which isn't on. Ironically the new entry he started made no such claims and had a much better range and scope.
Anyway thanks for the help too - the more level heads involved the better (granted it got messy but it could have been worse). ( Emperor 14:21, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
Thanks for cleaning up my user page! -- GentlemanGhost 11:40, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Just something I've been deliberately trying to do with them...
I've been trying to keep the cover cats strictly limited to scans of the covers as published, with logos, titles, prices, etc included. Everything else is essentially just images, even it it is the art that eventually winds up on the on the cover.

Hi! I noticed you added the template for the Food and Drink Wikiproject on the Strawberry article talk page. You may want to include Garden strawberry either in addition to or instead of the Strawberry article, as that is the article that discusses the use of the strawberry as food (including nutrition information). It seems like that would be a better candidate for the Wikiproject. HeirloomGardener 01:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
I've restored the image and added a rationale. Have a look and see if there's anything else needs adding or expanding. Steve block Talk 17:30, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Which usage of Image:10000Days.jpg were you writing a rationale for? It is used in 3 places, but you have only added one rationale. ~ Bigr Tex 15:09, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi GentlemanGhost.
Thanks for letting me know about the Blackadder image. As you surmised however, I only edited the file, it was originally uploaded by User:Crestville. I get a lot of notifications about images I have edited, mainly because the bot reads the last user name on the image page. I'm not really bothered what happens to the image, but thanks for the thought anyway. Regards, Ian Dunster 09:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
I think I understand why you added "|*" to the cat listing. It brings the two up to the first page. But it does make the others look a bit odd (M, Q, B?)... Should the others be similarly treated?
- J Greb 18:28, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Hey, I've been following your thread regarding Asgardian ( talk · contribs). For once, I have something to say in his defense. The video game information that he excises from the comics articles falls under the category "Wikipedia is not a game guide". Although WikiProject Comics's exemplars are not very specific, the "in other media" section does say that this information should emphasize differences in the characterization, if any. The stuff that he takes out is never about that, it's usually "so-and-so appears as a boss on this level" or sometimes it's a summary of game plot. In my opinion, this kind of thing belongs in the game's article, not the character's article. However, since the exemplars aren't specific, I brought it up on the project's talk page. It was a valuable discussion and the general feeling was that the "in other media" section should be concise unless the other media contributed greatly to the understanding of the character. Consequently, I'd say that Asgardian's deletions are in keeping with the community consensus, at least in this area. There are plenty of other reasons to mediate or arbitrate, but I don't think this is a strong one. Cheers, GentlemanGhost 17:30, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, it is indeed based on Prod, but it works fundamentally different. The idea of Prod is to remove articles if nobody objects, so any objection counters the Prod. The idea of this DFU template is to remove images lacking a fair use rationale, and this may be countered only by adding such a rationale. So to avoid confusing people, I'd say the two templates should not look the same. >Radiant< 07:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
They must be the best kind of bad girl I'd imagine. ;)
In some ways it is true - it might sell a lot due to the sex angle but the reviews all give it a lot of praise for story and art. I might not give Lady Death and the like house room but I might be interested checking out the big fat collected volume (if it had wider availability).
So from what I've read of other people's opinions I'm afraid I'd need a lot of convincing that she doesn't count and it seems she is a major example so I think it needs mentioning on her entry. Anyway we'll see how it works out. ( Emperor 19:42, 15 June 2007 (UTC))
I see no problem with the continued heavy tagging. It is better to have tagged articles that are unassessed than to not have them part of the project at all. Some guys like myself will just have to put a bit more time into assessment, you've doubled our articles for the project and I am very happy to see that. People seeing those tags as well will invite people to join the project. Perhaps I will think of editing the tag to have an invitation to join the project as Warfreak had suggested to get more people involved. Any word on that tagging bot?-- Christopher Tanner, CCC 17:36, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
GG, any idea about this? It took a lot of work to source all those users. I think the Exceptions section has merit. A blind wipe seems a tad much.
Asgardian 05:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Now I have discovered that a handful of people just decided to rewrite the trivia tag. This is going to create a huge mess. I just told them so, but I'm just one voice. [9] Doczilla 05:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Is really starting to annoy me, because for every tag you place, its another one I have to judge. I hope there will be a finite supply to stop you. -- Warfreak 10:57, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Overzealous seems a bit non intentionally insulting to say though Warfreak. I particularly appreciate that the project has someone tagging so many articles for the project. It is better to have numerous articles tagged for the project unassessed than not at all. As I had mentioned on the project page I will add a comment on getting other members to help in the next newsletter. With GentlemanGhost's assistance we have been able to finally get our number above our smaller off shoot projects, which seemed before that point slightly embarrassing to have them garnering more articles to work on than us. I think we should be thanking him over chastising him.-- Christopher Tanner, CCC 06:10, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Mexican Radio.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 04:03, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:U1ModuleCover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 19:01, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Would it be possible for your to review your image uploads to [10], adding sourcing information (noted some already have this) and a DETAILED fair use rationale?
