It looks like the uploader/owner of this file wishes to keep a local copy of the file which was deleted after it was moved to commons. Can you help him? -- Sreejith K ( talk) 18:36, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

During this edit warring/ew HERE, seems to me they are both (XLR8TION and Chipmunkdavis) guilty, and thus BOTH deserving of a block. After reviewing the article's history, I am surprised your block favored one editor over the other. How do you determine which of the two users involved in the EW to block? In particular, they were both trigger-happy. If anything the editor you blocked (XLR8TION) was probably the least deserving of the block as he was the first one to make a rationale invitation to, and to start, a dialogue via the article's Discussion page... Seems to me that at least they should BOTH had been taught the good-citizenship lesson. Please explain your rationale.

I am not sure, AzureCitizen, what sanctimonious status you are seeking for yourself with your presumptiousness. (May we ask, how many do -you- have in common with Magog, and lower ourselves to your pitiful level?) Respectfully, but only a moron would believe it's a coincidence I just happened to come across XLR8TION today for the first time. What I said is what I said, and your seeking to find some sort of moral fault in my person is irrelevant to the question I posed,,, and, cleverly, falling just short of a personal attack. FYI, you failed to also find out I was once a sockpuppetter (so be sure you don't pass out this new opportunity to feed your frenzied sanctimoniousness). But can you cite just -one- wikipedia policy stating any of that matters in relevance to the my question? I didn't think so..., for it's not wikipedia policy, but editors like you, seeking battlegrounds, who want to make them matter. So do not seek to childishly obsfuscate the issue and let Magog get on the subject, whom, if you didn't notice, is the person I addressed my question to. If you can do something good and -help- then great, but if you don't know the answer, or can't at least make a -relevant- contribution, then do yourself a favor and go play your disruption games elsewhere. My name is Mercy11 ( talk) 03:27, 25 October 2011 (UTC), and I approve this message.
Thanks for the reply though you failed to answer the question, and no thanks for threat, I violated no policies, but go ahead and do as you want, I don't loose sleep over trigger-happy admins.

I just saw your closure on the FFD for this file - was going to move it to Commons, but based on uploader contribs, this photo is not of Sam Ewing. Should I renominate it? Kelly hi! 13:40, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
I was about to move File:Gy-map.png over to Commons when I noticed they have a newer/better version = File:Guyana-CIA WFB Map.png. What do you think - move over the old map, or replace its usage here with the new map? Kelly hi! 23:30, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

My mother taught me that when you point something out you don't need please for that. As far as the source goes whatever, I wouldn't post a pic just cause it comes from my personal collection. Another source might prove it wrong. At least that's what I'm learning. Besides I've never seen that image before. I've been a fan for over 10 years now and all I've seen show the one that's posted on the page now. That's why I wouldn't consider personal collection a source. That's why I tagged it. It doesn't give a verifiable source just their word. I just learned that in my adoption class on here. JamesAlan1986 03:40, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Okay, obviously you're getting hostile for no reason so I see no reason to continue this conversation. I wasn't rude to begin with I pointed out that you need to read more into things before you go removing tags on an image as there were two the one I tagged it with and the second one I pointed out to you which was it was orphaned, you obviously didn't look at the history to see it was tagged by a bot or check the article to see if it was being used. To point that out and to say you need to check into it more does not garner a please to anyone. That's pointing out what needs to be done before removing unnecessary tags. So however I said it, it doesn't matter, there's no reason to be hostile about this and take it so personally. And now I am choosing to end this conversation. Good day. Please drop it. JamesAlan1986 04:05, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
It is highly unlikely that you have the time but should a few spare minutes appear then could you please comment on the numerous uploads of photo portraits/"cartoon" portraits and similar made by User:LRBurdak in 2006 and earlier?

Hello Magog the Ogre, I hope you're having a great day/night. On 1 November I requested speedy deletion of File:Ramp ceremony Kandahar Airfield 14June2007.jpg, which on 3 November you changed to a 'RFU' (not sure what the acronym stands for). I'm fairly confident the file will be deleted when the delay expires, but I was wondering why the procedural change. Reading the non-free content criterion, especially "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of WP:NFCC; and may be deleted immediately.", I assumed speedy was the way to go. I definitely see the National Post as meeting the criterion for 'commercial source' and not a mere re-user in this case, as the author of the drawing is Richard Johnson, an employee of the newspaper (which therefore holds the copyright of the work, in the same way Reuters would own the copyright to a photo taken by one of their photographers). Furthermore the article where the file is used ( War artists) has little to do with the said work and its use on the article is a clear infringement of the NFCC: someone wanted to do an art vs reality comparison, and in the process infringed on the copyright of the original author and publisher of the work. Obviously the file is not irreplaceable as there are hundreds of public domain images from war artists readily available on Commons. Would you be so kind to clarify the reasoning behind the procedural change so I know when and when not to request speedy for copyright infringement in the future and understand why? Cheers, — CharlieEchoTango — 08:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Magog. I probably should have given a link to the works in the speedy deletion request to make that distinction. Best regards — CharlieEchoTango — 22:58, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Pseudoscience? What are you talking about? have you got the right person? PiCo ( talk) 10:15, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Even so, what article are you talking about? What edits? PiCo ( talk) 10:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
My edit was stylistic, not substantive - it left both the "narrative" and "myth" words in place, and was aimed at saying the same thing in fewer words. Plus, I haven't touched the article in the last 24 hours or so. PiCo ( talk) 10:28, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Myth is definitely not a pejorative term in this sense - you'll find most commentaries on Genesis referring to the Creation story as a "myth", and discussing just how it differs from (and is similar to) other ME creation myths. The word does, however, provoke heart attacks in many Wiki-editors, both true-believing Creationists and faithful atheists. I do wish that more editors would actually read books about the subject - not many do, you know. PiCo ( talk) 10:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi, what is the difference between this file and this other one ? they have both been uploaded to commons from en.wiki, but the first one is not available in the en.wiki anymore, while the second one is! Thanks, In fact 20:10, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

thanks very much for letting me know and that much appreciated - i have sent an email to the right address now with proff of permission to use the photo so hopefully that will sort it out. Thanks again for your help. ( Jamesmaharrison ( talk) 16:28, 10 November 2011 (UTC)).
You have nominated File:Toyota 3r-c.JPG for deletion, an action which I find a mite hasty. The picture has been here since 2007 without any expressed concern; the uploader is dormant for over two years: Is it really reasonable to expect Blueck to somehow respond to these concerns in a timely fashion? The fact that the picture has been available here for over four years without any worries should go some way towards alleviating any fears about copyright theft. I am trying to locate the original uploader to fix the concern, but I do find the state of affairs somewhat ridiculous. This from someone who has endeavored to delete many stolen images, see here for an instance of my requesting a deletion. I would like to protect this shot and while I do hope that the original uploader will be interested in protecting the image I also worry that this kind of thinking will lead to a continuous shedding of material over technicalities as our standards keep changing over time.

Are we at the point where we should consider a mass delete of the image uploads made by User:LRBurdak? Scanning through their talk page I can see dozens of "successful" delete notifications since 2008, including a batch that I nominated only last week but which had mostly existed for a few years. What is worse, is that they still do not get it - they attempted to fix one of my noms but got it wrong, then tried again when I pointed that out & they have still got it wrong.
There are still quite a few images loaded and a lot of them appear dubious (Photoshop, scanner etc) & claim to be self-created, as were all of the batch that have just been deleted. - Sitush ( talk) 20:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
You'll have to talk me through the "clearly licensed" that you have just added. They claim that the photo was taken by a studio, so we do not know who holds the copyright. Is that why it is potentially unfree? Even though we're dealing with a serial violator? Commons have deleted stuff like this, no problem, so I am a bit confused! I'm not doubting you, btw.
Re: scanner, yes, indeed & I am aware of that issue. It is just the sheer number that have gone already both here and at Commons because of false claims. I think that Kumaranderjan (or whatever they were called) had less images deleted before someone decided to call it a day. The compromise position would be to delete all pictures of people but not of buildings etc, since the latter are certainly more likely to be self-created/scanned etc. - Sitush ( talk) 20:45, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
Ah, permission vs license. Yes, that is a misunderstanding on my part. I'll do as you suggest, and while awaiting a response I'll take a look at the PUF process just in case. Thanks for your help and advice. - Sitush ( talk) 14:05, 11 November 2011 (UTC)
You left me a message mentioning an imge I uploaded. I am not sure what you mean by deriviative....this is an photograph of a public work of art I took whilst on holiday in Gent. What do I have to do to clear up any confusion RoyalBlueStuey ( talk) 11:42, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
I don't really know how to answer about that, it was public work (on top of a lampost) on a public street (so tracing the artist is prabobly impossible)...if it breaks the rules there's nothing we can do about it. Pity because it is a lovely example of St Michael and it was just there on public display. RoyalBlueStuey ( talk) 15:17, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Is there an alternative licence that could be used for this? The source is stated to be a site hosted on Blogspot and, as such, I think that it probably does not meet the current non-free terms, ie: "This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person." There is absolutely no basis for the assumption that it is "most likely" an official photo of the Pakistani military, although it certainly is possible. - Sitush ( talk) 01:26, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

), but at any time it could get deleted anyway.There are too many different types of licence. Bloody nightmare! Anyway, he was a serving officer 1946-1980, per his own article, & so the 1961 date could work in favour of leaving it as it is. Oddly, his own article has no photo. Thanks for your advice. - Sitush ( talk) 01:53, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Ah'm confused :-S I understand your point about NFCC8 but not about NFCC1 and being alive. Are you suggesting that a Wikipedian should go knock on his door & take a photo? I mean, I am quite content for that particular blogspot image not to be used anywhere, mainly because it is such poor quality, but I don't fully understand how NFCC1 prevents its use in the bio article.
BTW, just noticed how you formatted the file name above, with the colon in front to prevent display but provide the link. I'll remember that - very handy. - Sitush ( talk) 02:06, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Gosh, I need to digest that entire article. However, WP:NFC#UUI has an italicised bit at the first bullet point. So, we are not only saying someone should go see him but also, by "refusing" use of the blogspot image, implying that they might want to ask him to dress in his old uniform for the pic. Would the italicised bit not count in the case of his own article? Again, not that I particularly want to see it used anywhere ... but there are policies and there are personal opinions, and the latter count for nothing. - Sitush ( talk) 02:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm not fussed enough about this one to get involved in some community image assessment process, & in any event even I can see that there are arguments on both sides & the result will likely be "no consensus".
I'll take a look at the training link but I have no plans to run for adminship. I am named far too often at ANI for that to ever progress beyond a pipe-dream. I'll just keep picking the brains of those who have got there, and read up on stuff that get raised along the way. :) Thanks again for your help. Sitush ( talk) 02:44, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
These categories should be inspected. As for my talk page, I give you my gratitude that you have responded very well about my edits. You did clean up my edits by tagging them as "possibly unfree". However, you have removed them per WP:CSD#F7, which I have not yet considered yet. Right now, I'm struggling with computer addiction, and I hope you do better than I. Thank you! -- George Ho ( talk) 03:42, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Magog the Ogre, you recently fully protected this article - the reason being "edit warring/content dispute". I think that was a bit of an over-reaction to the trivial incidence of 2 reverts each between 2 editors. It means that those of us uninvolved with the minor "dispute" are disproportionately inconvenienced. My prior edits were reverted as collateral damage during the "dispute" and I cannot now get back to work on the article. Please consider unprotecting the article so we can continue to improve it in the spirit of Wikipedia. Thanks. -- de Facto ( talk). 22:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I was looking at the 36 hours immediately preceeding your action. I have only made one edit to that article - the one adding new information that I alluded to above. I am not, and do not intend to be, involved in any other "dispute" that may, or may not, be ongoing between other editors there. I'm asking you to unprotect the article because I believe that protecting it was unjustified - other sanctions are available, that don't impact the uninvolved editors, to tackle "edit warriors" - so that I can continue to work on it in the traditional spirit of Wikipedia. Full protection is surely only a final and desperate last resort when all else has failed, not the first action in an attempt to settle a localised tiff. -- de Facto ( talk). 16:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Mr. Ogre:
Let me try to answer your question, "Why is it a bigger story in the US when Juan Williams is fired by NPR than when countless innocent journalists are murdered by a covert Russian govenment inside the US and out?"
Everyone know the Russians have been up to political murder from Rasputin and two Nicholses to Trotsky, Krivitsky, Grigori Markov and Litvienko. That story is "Dog bites man," about somebody else's country. But some of us are old enough to remember the original promises when NPR was created that it would respect its federal funding by being scrupulously neutral on domestic politics. That is why firing Mr. Williams for opinions expressed outside his capacity at NPR when other NPR employees have been permitted opinions at least as controversial (but on the other side) reopens the question of continued federal support for NPR.
I hope that this different perspective helps to answer your question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.96.107 ( talk) 00:26, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Why did you rush to undo what I was doing before I even finished?
I'm planning to make "the eleventh commandment" a default page of the phrase itself and move the book article to a dedicated page. Just as the "apple" page is about the fruit and not the computer firm. And there is no controversy or dispute among multiples of people here. There are no people claiming that the centuries old English phrase "the eleventh commandment" is less applicable than the book or that the phrase is mostly used to refer to the book. Therefore it would be a waste of time to propose a move and all that jass and the rules as stipulated in the "movign a page" WP instruction link shows it is perfectly OK to move such uncontroversial stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loginnigol ( talk • contribs) 08:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

I received a notice that the above image was up for speedy deletion, but unfortunately I did not see the notice until after the image had already been deleted. I am still learning more about copyright laws myself, but it is my opinion that within the context of this image's usage on Wikipedia, this image constitutes fair use. Do you think it would be appropriate to undelete this image under a license similar to the one applied to the image File:450 Years of the Polish Postal Service coin.png? Specifically, since the image on the Icelandic coin is itself the subject of commentary discussed in the article Icelandic heraldry, I believe a fair use rationale would apply. It may also be noted that this is a commemorative medallion with no value as currency, not a coin intended for circulation, so it is not "money", as pertains to Icelandic law, though the design may still fall under copyright protection. The digitized image was my own work, though a similar image of the same commemorative issue exists on the internet here if that is of any help. Thank you. Wilhelm Meis ( Quatsch!) 04:54, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for the help, Magog. I might add that yes, in my original rationale for digitizing and uploading the image, it was to illustrate the use of Iceland's national heraldry in numismatic applications. The Landvættir also frequently appear in the actual circulating currency of Iceland, but since this is a particularly striking example, which I happen to have on hand, and since there is no concern of counterfeiting for currency value, I thought this would be a good choice to show how elements of Icelandic national heraldry appear in coins (circulated and commemorative). Thank you both for your thoughtful suggestions, and for your assistance. Wilhelm Meis ( Quatsch!) 08:24, 4 December 2011 (UTC)

During this edit warring/ew HERE, seems to me they are both (XLR8TION and Chipmunkdavis) guilty, and thus BOTH deserving of a block. After reviewing the article's history, I am surprised your block favored one editor over the other. How do you determine which of the two users involved in the EW to block? In particular, they were both trigger-happy. If anything the editor you blocked (XLR8TION) was probably the least deserving of the block as he was the first one to make a rationale invitation to, and to start, a dialogue via the article's Discussion page... Seems to me that at least they should BOTH had been taught the good-citizenship lesson. Please explain your rationale.

I am not sure, AzureCitizen, what sanctimonious status you are seeking for yourself with your presumptiousness. (May we ask, how many do -you- have in common with Magog, and lower ourselves to your pitiful level?) Respectfully, but only a moron would believe it's a coincidence I just happened to come across XLR8TION today for the first time. What I said is what I said, and your seeking to find some sort of moral fault in my person is irrelevant to the question I posed,,, and, cleverly, falling just short of a personal attack. FYI, you failed to also find out I was once a sockpuppetter (so be sure you don't pass out this new opportunity to feed your frenzied sanctimoniousness). But can you cite just -one- wikipedia policy stating any of that matters in relevance to the my question? I didn't think so..., for it's not wikipedia policy, but editors like you, seeking battlegrounds, who want to make them matter. So do not seek to childishly obsfuscate the issue and let Magog get on the subject, whom, if you didn't notice, is the person I addressed my question to. If you can do something good and -help- then great, but if you don't know the answer, or can't at least make a -relevant- contribution, then do yourself a favor and go play your disruption games elsewhere.

My mother taught me that when you point something out you don't need please for that. As far as the source goes whatever, I wouldn't post a pic just cause it comes from my personal collection. Another source might prove it wrong. At least that's what I'm learning. Besides I've never seen that image before. I've been a fan for over 10 years now and all I've seen show the one that's posted on the page now. That's why I wouldn't consider personal collection a source. That's why I tagged it. It doesn't give a verifiable source just their word. I just learned that in my adoption class on here. JamesAlan1986 03:40, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
Okay, obviously you're getting hostile for no reason so I see no reason to continue this conversation. I wasn't rude to begin with I pointed out that you need to read more into things before you go removing tags on an image as there were two the one I tagged it with and the second one I pointed out to you which was it was orphaned, you obviously didn't look at the history to see it was tagged by a bot or check the article to see if it was being used. To point that out and to say you need to check into it more does not garner a please to anyone. That's pointing out what needs to be done before removing unnecessary tags. So however I said it, it doesn't matter, there's no reason to be hostile about this and take it so personally. And now I am choosing to end this conversation. Good day. Please drop it.

Hello Magog the Ogre, I hope you're having a great day/night. On 1 November I requested speedy deletion of File:Ramp ceremony Kandahar Airfield 14June2007.jpg, which on 3 November you changed to a 'RFU' (not sure what the acronym stands for). I'm fairly confident the file will be deleted when the delay expires, but I was wondering why the procedural change. Reading the non-free content criterion, especially "Non-free images or media from a commercial source (e.g., Associated Press, Getty), where the file itself is not the subject of sourced commentary, are considered an invalid claim of fair use and fail the strict requirements of WP:NFCC; and may be deleted immediately.", I assumed speedy was the way to go. I definitely see the National Post as meeting the criterion for 'commercial source' and not a mere re-user in this case, as the author of the drawing is Richard Johnson, an employee of the newspaper (which therefore holds the copyright of the work, in the same way Reuters would own the copyright to a photo taken by one of their photographers). Furthermore the article where the file is used ( War artists) has little to do with the said work and its use on the article is a clear infringement of the NFCC: someone wanted to do an art vs reality comparison, and in the process infringed on the copyright of the original author and publisher of the work. Obviously the file is not irreplaceable as there are hundreds of public domain images from war artists readily available on Commons. Would you be so kind to clarify the reasoning behind the procedural change so I know when and when not to request speedy for copyright infringement in the future and understand why? Cheers, — CharlieEchoTango — 08:54, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Magog. I probably should have given a link to the works in the speedy deletion request to make that distinction. Best regards — CharlieEchoTango — 22:58, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Even so, what article are you talking about? What edits? PiCo ( talk) 10:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
My edit was stylistic, not substantive - it left both the "narrative" and "myth" words in place, and was aimed at saying the same thing in fewer words. Plus, I haven't touched the article in the last 24 hours or so. PiCo ( talk) 10:28, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
Myth is definitely not a pejorative term in this sense - you'll find most commentaries on Genesis referring to the Creation story as a "myth", and discussing just how it differs from (and is similar to) other ME creation myths. The word does, however, provoke heart attacks in many Wiki-editors, both true-believing Creationists and faithful atheists. I do wish that more editors would actually read books about the subject - not many do, you know. PiCo ( talk) 10:42, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

You have nominated File:Toyota 3r-c.JPG for deletion, an action which I find a mite hasty. The picture has been here since 2007 without any expressed concern; the uploader is dormant for over two years: Is it really reasonable to expect Blueck to somehow respond to these concerns in a timely fashion? The fact that the picture has been available here for over four years without any worries should go some way towards alleviating any fears about copyright theft. I am trying to locate the original uploader to fix the concern, but I do find the state of affairs somewhat ridiculous. This from someone who has endeavored to delete many stolen images, see here for an instance of my requesting a deletion. I would like to protect this shot and while I do hope that the original uploader will be interested in protecting the image I also worry that this kind of thinking will lead to a continuous shedding of material over technicalities as our standards keep changing over time.

Are we at the point where we should consider a mass delete of the image uploads made by User:LRBurdak? Scanning through their talk page I can see dozens of "successful" delete notifications since 2008, including a batch that I nominated only last week but which had mostly existed for a few years. What is worse, is that they still do not get it - they attempted to fix one of my noms but got it wrong, then tried again when I pointed that out & they have still got it wrong.
There are still quite a few images loaded and a lot of them appear dubious (Photoshop, scanner etc) & claim to be self-created, as were all of the batch that have just been deleted. - Sitush ( talk) 20:30, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
You'll have to talk me through the "clearly licensed" that you have just added. They claim that the photo was taken by a studio, so we do not know who holds the copyright. Is that why it is potentially unfree? Even though we're dealing with a serial violator? Commons have deleted stuff like this, no problem, so I am a bit confused! I'm not doubting you, btw.
Re: scanner, yes, indeed & I am aware of that issue. It is just the sheer number that have gone already both here and at Commons because of false claims. I think that Kumaranderjan (or whatever they were called) had less images deleted before someone decided to call it a day. The compromise position would be to delete all pictures of people but not of buildings etc, since the latter are certainly more likely to be self-created/scanned etc. - Sitush ( talk) 20:45, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Is there an alternative licence that could be used for this? The source is stated to be a site hosted on Blogspot and, as such, I think that it probably does not meet the current non-free terms, ie: "This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is most likely held by the person who created the image or the agency employing the person." There is absolutely no basis for the assumption that it is "most likely" an official photo of the Pakistani military, although it certainly is possible. - Sitush ( talk) 01:26, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Ah'm confused :-S I understand your point about NFCC8 but not about NFCC1 and being alive. Are you suggesting that a Wikipedian should go knock on his door & take a photo? I mean, I am quite content for that particular blogspot image not to be used anywhere, mainly because it is such poor quality, but I don't fully understand how NFCC1 prevents its use in the bio article.
BTW, just noticed how you formatted the file name above, with the colon in front to prevent display but provide the link. I'll remember that - very handy. - Sitush ( talk) 02:06, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
Gosh, I need to digest that entire article. However, WP:NFC#UUI has an italicised bit at the first bullet point. So, we are not only saying someone should go see him but also, by "refusing" use of the blogspot image, implying that they might want to ask him to dress in his old uniform for the pic. Would the italicised bit not count in the case of his own article? Again, not that I particularly want to see it used anywhere ... but there are policies and there are personal opinions, and the latter count for nothing. - Sitush ( talk) 02:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm not fussed enough about this one to get involved in some community image assessment process, & in any event even I can see that there are arguments on both sides & the result will likely be "no consensus".

Hi Magog the Ogre, you recently fully protected this article - the reason being "edit warring/content dispute". I think that was a bit of an over-reaction to the trivial incidence of 2 reverts each between 2 editors. It means that those of us uninvolved with the minor "dispute" are disproportionately inconvenienced. My prior edits were reverted as collateral damage during the "dispute" and I cannot now get back to work on the article. Please consider unprotecting the article so we can continue to improve it in the spirit of Wikipedia. Thanks. -- de Facto ( talk). 22:36, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
I was looking at the 36 hours immediately preceeding your action. I have only made one edit to that article - the one adding new information that I alluded to above. I am not, and do not intend to be, involved in any other "dispute" that may, or may not, be ongoing between other editors there. I'm asking you to unprotect the article because I believe that protecting it was unjustified - other sanctions are available, that don't impact the uninvolved editors, to tackle "edit warriors" - so that I can continue to work on it in the traditional spirit of Wikipedia. Full protection is surely only a final and desperate last resort when all else has failed, not the first action in an attempt to settle a localised tiff. -- de Facto ( talk). 16:12, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

Mr. Ogre:
Let me try to answer your question, "Why is it a bigger story in the US when Juan Williams is fired by NPR than when countless innocent journalists are murdered by a covert Russian govenment inside the US and out?"
Everyone know the Russians have been up to political murder from Rasputin and two Nicholses to Trotsky, Krivitsky, Grigori Markov and Litvienko. That story is "Dog bites man," about somebody else's country. But some of us are old enough to remember the original promises when NPR was created that it would respect its federal funding by being scrupulously neutral on domestic politics. That is why firing Mr. Williams for opinions expressed outside his capacity at NPR when other NPR employees have been permitted opinions at least as controversial (but on the other side) reopens the question of continued federal support for NPR.
I hope that this different perspective helps to answer your question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.96.107 ( talk) 00:26, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Just as the "apple" page is about the fruit and not the computer firm. And there is no controversy or dispute among multiples of people here. There are no people claiming that the centuries old English phrase "the eleventh commandment" is less applicable than the book or that the phrase is mostly used to refer to the book. Therefore it would be a waste of time to propose a move and all that jass and the rules as stipulated in the "movign a page" WP instruction link shows it is perfectly OK to move such uncontroversial stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loginnigol ( talk • contribs) 08:21, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I did it and it worked (you may check it out for yourself and see if I didn't succeed or made some sort of error while doing it) Loginnigol ( talk) 08:48, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
I received a notice that the above image was up for speedy deletion, but unfortunately I did not see the notice until after the image had already been deleted. I am still learning more about copyright laws myself, but it is my opinion that within the context of this image's usage on Wikipedia, this image constitutes fair use. Do you think it would be appropriate to undelete this image under a license similar to the one applied to the image File:450 Years of the Polish Postal Service coin.png? Specifically, since the image on the Icelandic coin is itself the subject of commentary discussed in the article Icelandic heraldry, I believe a fair use rationale would apply. It may also be noted that this is a commemorative medallion with no value as currency, not a coin intended for circulation, so it is not "money", as pertains to Icelandic law, though the design may still fall under copyright protection. The digitized image was my own work, though a similar image of the same commemorative issue exists on the internet here if that is of any help. Thank you.

Thank you for the help, Magog. I might add that yes, in my original rationale for digitizing and uploading the image, it was to illustrate the use of Iceland's national heraldry in numismatic applications. The Landvættir also frequently appear in the actual circulating currency of Iceland, but since this is a particularly striking example, which I happen to have on hand, and since there is no concern of counterfeiting for currency value, I thought this would be a good choice to show how elements of Icelandic national heraldry appear in coins (circulated and commemorative). Thank you both for your thoughtful suggestions, and for your assistance. Wilhelm Meis ( Quatsch!) 08:24, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
