Masem, the pending RfC is phrased in a partisan manner in order to bias its outcome. It uses non-neutral phrasing and it misrepresents long-standing AfD !voting options as well as so-called standard practice. As an administrator who favors the other side of this debate, I would ask that you close this discussion until a neutrally worded RfC question replaces the present problematically phrased one. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 01:07, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Masem, as an administrator, I thought you would be interested to know that the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion explicitly recognizes "Delete then Redirect", stating "Redirect is a recommendation to keep the article's history but to blank the content and replace it with a redirect. Users who want to see the article's history destroyed should explicitly recommend Delete then Redirect." The Guide has incorporated such guidance regarding "Delete then Redirect" since September 2005; before that, it previously included the concept of "Delete and then re-create as Redirect". Anyone who is suggesting that "Delete and redirect" !votes and outcomes are either improper or unheard does not know our well-established AfD procedures. Moreover, anyone who suggests that there is a built-in policy preference for keeping and/or restoring article history after a consensus "delete" or "delete and redirect" AfD outcome needs to do some more reading; nowhere in either WP:Deletion policy or WP:Editing policy is such a preference for the preservation of article history (as opposed to article content -- not the same thing) actually stated. The Guide to Deletion recognizes the distinction recognizes the distinction between history and content, and the validity of an !vote to delete the history.

Hi there.
With regard to this edit, I'm still not convinced, and think that it can be read either way. Based on your understanding though should the similar hatnote for Total Recall (2012 film) be removed?

Copyright question. Why wouldn't File:Screenshot wikiwand.JPG, as a composition, be copyrighted by Wikiwand? I don't see the explicit permission of the developers and I see nothing in the terms about licensing its screenshots/printouts. Or is the layout not copyrightable on its own because all of the content is available under free licenses? Would I, for instance, be able to upload this screengrab of Wikiwand's Menacer rendering to Commons under a free license (while noting the individual copyright of the constituent images and deleting the fair use ones)?

Hi there Masem. I've noticed your contributions to Rock Band DLC pages here both before and after Rock Band 4 was released, so I figured you would be a good person to talk to about this. The page for 2015 DLC is a mess in my eyes right now. Only half of the DLC has the "family friendly" and "additional Rock Band 3 features" filled out. Not only that, but where are people getting the "family friendly" info from? I can't find such info on Rock Band 4 DLC. And do you think we should get rid of the "additional Rock Band 3 features category" for 2016 DLC, since it'll be solely Rock Band 4 DLC from that point on? I can understand it being on the 2015 DLC since we got some Rock Band 3 DLC earlier this year, but it by no means had the "core" features because they didn't chart keys on them, as they were preparing for Rock Band 4, which has no keys. So I don't understand that. Hopefully you can help organize this a bit. Percivl ( talk) 15:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi,
I inquired about the images on the Half-Life 2 article some time ago, about why the images were so small. You replied saying that 640px wide was too large for a non-free fair use image in a video game. For the life of me, I cannot find an article on Wikipedia stating exact maximum sizes for ANY non-free images much less video games.
Can you provide me a link that says all non-free images on Wikipedia must be 300px or less? It seems some official article of Wikipedia must of stated maximum size for non-free images to be 300px wide or less.. since virtually no images on this site are larger. Thank you!

Yes, RfC/U would have been the way to go; I wish we hadn't done away with it. Now, "harsh editing restrictions was taken simply based on volume of discussion and ratio of talk-to-mainspace edits, and seems a way to silence what seem to be reasonable counterpoints to at least discuss"--as I said repeatedly, they weren't simply based on volume and ratio, and "a way to silence", well, I would have been the one dong to silencing of reasonable counterpoints, right?

Masem, the pending RfC is phrased in a partisan manner in order to bias its outcome. It uses non-neutral phrasing and it misrepresents long-standing AfD !voting options as well as so-called standard practice. As an administrator who favors the other side of this debate, I would ask that you close this discussion until a neutrally worded RfC question replaces the present problematically phrased one. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 01:07, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
Masem, as an administrator, I thought you would be interested to know that the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion explicitly recognizes "Delete then Redirect", stating "Redirect is a recommendation to keep the article's history but to blank the content and replace it with a redirect. Users who want to see the article's history destroyed should explicitly recommend Delete then Redirect." The Guide has incorporated such guidance regarding "Delete then Redirect" since September 2005; before that, it previously included the concept of "Delete and then re-create as Redirect". Anyone who is suggesting that "Delete and redirect" !votes and outcomes are either improper or unheard does not know our well-established AfD procedures. Moreover, anyone who suggests that there is a built-in policy preference for keeping and/or restoring article history after a consensus "delete" or "delete and redirect" AfD outcome needs to do some more reading; nowhere in either WP:Deletion policy or WP:Editing policy is such a preference for the preservation of article history (as opposed to article content -- not the same thing) actually stated. The Guide to Deletion recognizes the distinction recognizes the distinction between history and content, and the validity of an !vote to delete the history.

Hi there.
With regard to this edit, I'm still not convinced, and think that it can be read either way. Based on your understanding though should the similar hatnote for Total Recall (2012 film) be removed?

Hi there Masem. I've noticed your contributions to Rock Band DLC pages here both before and after Rock Band 4 was released, so I figured you would be a good person to talk to about this. The page for 2015 DLC is a mess in my eyes right now. Only half of the DLC has the "family friendly" and "additional Rock Band 3 features" filled out. Not only that, but where are people getting the "family friendly" info from? I can't find such info on Rock Band 4 DLC. And do you think we should get rid of the "additional Rock Band 3 features category" for 2016 DLC, since it'll be solely Rock Band 4 DLC from that point on? I can understand it being on the 2015 DLC since we got some Rock Band 3 DLC earlier this year, but it by no means had the "core" features because they didn't chart keys on them, as they were preparing for Rock Band 4, which has no keys. So I don't understand that. Hopefully you can help organize this a bit. Percivl ( talk) 15:00, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Doctor who wall crack.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 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 18:27, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey Masem. Just letting you know that the retention period for Guitar Hero Live for Wikipedia:Featured topics/Guitar Hero series is going to end last this month on the 20th. So you might need to prepare it for GAN soon. GamerPro64 20:55, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
So I just recently remembered that Guitar Hero Live is now a Good Article but not part of the topic. Might need to start a supp nom for it soon. Masem GamerPro64 02:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi,
I inquired about the images on the Half-Life 2 article some time ago, about why the images were so small. You replied saying that 640px wide was too large for a non-free fair use image in a video game. For the life of me, I cannot find an article on Wikipedia stating exact maximum sizes for ANY non-free images much less video games.
Can you provide me a link that says all non-free images on Wikipedia must be 300px or less? It seems some official article of Wikipedia must of stated maximum size for non-free images to be 300px wide or less.. since virtually no images on this site are larger. Thank you!
Cody-7 ( talk) 14:43, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
Your take on this? Would it be better to upload a version where the photographer licensed under cc-by-sa or freer so we're only dealing with the fair use derivative aspect? (Where is the policy on that?) czar 19:42, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
There are three "keep" votes, but I don't see how it constitutes unanimous consensus. Can you undo the closure by TRM and then comment on it if you support removing it from the Main Page? -- George Ho ( talk) 08:25, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
This concerns a previously discussed and approved historic photo [ /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2014_February_27#File:Dancehalls_of_Pacific_Street_Facing_West_San_Francisco_1909_SFLibraryCode_AAB-6692_CropA.jpg ] , of which you weighed in the discussion. Stefan2 is once again encouraging its removal by placing it on the Files For Discussion page [ /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Files_for_discussion/2016_January_9#File:Dancehalls_of_Pacific_Street_Facing_West_San_Francisco_1909_SFLibraryCode_AAB-6692_CropA.jpg ]. When you get a chance, could you please weigh in on the new discussion to preserve the use of that valuable historic photo? Thanks. James Carroll ( talk) 21:59, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited This Side of Paradise (Star Trek: The Original Series), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Appendix. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

You seriously expect someone to update the viewcount on all 30 videos? I mean it's not as if there is a specific as of date let alone time, but rather a month so technically speaking all the details would still be correct. I mean, the view count figure would immediately be wrong anyway so what's the problem? Feudonym ( talk) 03:13, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Just noticed you created this category. Great idea! I'm not to familiar how categorizing categories works though. I was thinking of adding Category:Video games or maybe Category:Video game development. Would that make sense? — Strongjam ( talk) 17:56, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
The article
Guitar Hero Live you nominated as a

Masem, because of the interest you expressed in a closely related topic during the discussion @ Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Texas Longhorns football series records, I am notifying you that a new discussion is taking place as to whether the following articles are suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether they should be deleted:
These articles will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Iowa Hawkeyes football series records until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the articles during the discussion, including to improve the articles to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the articles. Dirtlawyer1 ( talk) 09:53, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
File:Examples of Ibid, from "Justice" by Michael J- Sandel 2013-04-08 20-17.jpg would be copyrighted text, no?

@ Finnusertop: of these: NewCUSALogo is non-free, the 3D effects are not simple and adding to originality. Assuming the Clemson paw SVG is PD as it states, then the wordmark with the claw for the "O" is PD. The rest are PD-textlogo otherwise. -- MASEM ( t) 14:56, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Hey Masem, I have some videos from the U.S. Dept of Energy. Is it sufficient to assume that these videos are in the PD and fine for Commons since they were produced by the dept, or would we need special assurances? Do you know whether they have to mark if they were using unoriginal content under fair use in their videos? czar 19:23, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes, RfC/U would have been the way to go; I wish we hadn't done away with it. Now, "harsh editing restrictions was taken simply based on volume of discussion and ratio of talk-to-mainspace edits, and seems a way to silence what seem to be reasonable counterpoints to at least discuss"--as I said repeatedly, they weren't simply based on volume and ratio, and "a way to silence", well, I would have been the one dong to silencing of reasonable counterpoints, right? Which suggests I did so intentionally. You may not have meant to suggest my intent, but it did come across that way. Thanks, Drmies ( talk) 13:20, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
Your reversion on the SpaceChem article seems to me to be inadequately justified. You said, "it is generally presumed that game software is proprietary". By whom is that presumed? By Wikipedia? I doubt it. I'm willing to be proven wrong, though. Please fill me in. Thanks! zazpot ( talk) 23:55, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
I've opened a case @ Wikipedia: Dispute resolution noticeboard for Sandy Hook. Please also be advised that I complained about your advocating for what I consider censorship and being an Admin.

![]() | On 2 March 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Upside Down & Inside Out, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the band OK Go filmed their music video for " Upside Down & Inside Out" in zero gravity using a reduced gravity aircraft? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Upside Down & Inside Out. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |
