Meegs Hi. Thanks for your message. Now I've calmed down a bit I suppose what really p'd me most is that my image has been uploaded with a different name thus having someone else contributed with my image, then my original put up for deletion without me even being consulted. The fact it is used by other articles is some condolence. Would I be right in thinking that if I create a wiki commons account I could re-upload it, with the correct name and then have the duplicate removed? Would I also need to individually re-upload each of my images already placed on the English Wiki, (Possibly with a new username)? Richard Harvey 21:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
Hello Meegs, thanks for the help you're providing for Richard. By the way, I've tried to do some search to find if there are other images by him already moved to Commons [1]. I see that some of them are uploaded under a nc-nd licence (saying "subject to no commercial use for gain & the Image must not be modified"). I think they should be deleted unless the author is willing to grant additional rights (Richard, I hope you are reading this!) Conscious 15:54, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
OK. As you can see in your upload log, I've deleted all of the images that you moved over. A few things:
{{duplicate|preferred_filename.jpg}}
. Before tagging the bad version, though, use the check usage link at the top and make sure that all occurrences of the image have been changed to the other filename. For example, you changed the Spanish article's link from
Commons:Image:Torre del Campello.jpg to
Commons:Image:El Campello Tower.jpg, but did not change the two occurrences in the Catalan Wikipedia, nor the one in your en: photo gallery.
[2] If you need any help with this, let me know.That's it. × Meegs 10:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:JasonK.jpg I origninally saved this particular .jpg to my computer from an old image FROM wikipedia ITSELF. Someone deleted it and put an unnecessary arrest mugshot in its place. I simply remembered that i had a copy of it, and uploaded it back onto this site! It is indeed a sporting poster (considering that i have an exact purchased copy ON MY WALL). Thankyou for taking the time to read my message. By the way, all my other photos uploaded onto wikipedia were corrected as licensed sporting event posters as well. -- Meltzercool 01:47, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I award Meegs this barnstar for his efforts in deleting thousands of pieces of unworthy content from Wikipedia. Blnguyen | rant-line 01:51, 3 August 2006 (UTC) |
Hey Meegs, you're keeping a good job around here. Congratulations on the Barnstar. I just wanted to say that pages Andreas_Hedlund and Solefald are swarmed with un-sourced photos. You know how to explain properly the whole image licensing thing so just give User:Karpsmom (who is mostly editing those pages) a couple of tips. He already received a bunch of image tag warnings but I'm affraid he doesn't realize the problem (it is a bit vaugely explained at the image copyright page)... I have other obligations now so I'm not that frequent anymore here. Best regards Death2 02:13, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Yes true, but The VE Holden Commodore is yet to be released, and the images were realesed by Holden for people to use so I don't see the huge issue. I also believe that images should be of the highest quality availible and these ones obviously are. I just think it looks so un-professional if you use quick images that a user has taken as they are rarely anything special. OSX 11:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Here are the thumbnails of the images found on the Holden website:

I hope that these are good enough proof that the images were realesed by Holden. I am sorry to say that I cannot find these in high-res, but I will continue my search. OSX 12:09, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Originally, I would claim that they would be acceptable because they can be around until we find a replacement. But I have to agree with the argument that keeping a fair use version around will make people lazy. However, people will see the lack of image and just upload a fair use version in place, not knowing that we already killed the original fair use image. Plus if it were so easy to get pictures of celebrities... your call, though. —

Hi Meegs, how are you.
I understand the copyright policity really have exist, but, i don't understant how these pictures if i upload are problems of copyright. Most of the law and the topics of this policity are in english, and, my english is very poor (whateaver, shit! hahahaha). Please, if those pictures can be used, or have a possibility to fix my tagging error in this pictures, help me. I bust my ass to made this portuguese articles are clean, to pass e teach about the bands in question. Teach me how tag right. Hugs. Brazylianskies
Does that apply to baseball, too? (In this case, Victor Santos) 1ne 20:34, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
That's okay, Meegs — I guess I have been lazy in verifying the origins of images. I don't mind when you catch these things, because I learn from them. I've gotten a lot better at rationales than when I've started. Anyways, since then I've decided to not deal with fair use claims on living people pictures. —

Sorry if I caused any problems with my "spamming". I did not know this was against the rules. Anyway I was just trying to get the word out because this article needs another POV rather than just from obvious students who use this article as a stage for academic boosterism. We need a wide range of others who can provide a more balanced point of view about the institution, especially because of recent accusations of institutional racism, problems with student riots, and problems with alcohol. These problems are overshadowed by an elitist college riding on a reputation. Speedystickd 00:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

I would like to point out that a recent vote for prohibiting sollicitation of votes in WP:AID failed (7-9 vote count) (see here. I also would like to remind you of being civil, especially to newcomers. Calling someone's clumsy but innocent attempts to gain support for his article "spamming", is not my idea of civility, and almost resulted in losing this editor. Errabee 22:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello there.... User:StarbuckDude continues to upload copyright-violation images, and has been restoring them every time I try to remove them. Additionally, User:Lil Flip246 has also been restoring them (she's violated the 3RR rule on several articles such as Eva Pigford) as fast as editors can remove them, plus restoring unsourced gossip and text from each of the articles bundled in this nomination: [7] .....can you take a look? Other editors as well as myself have tried to explain WP:RS and WP:V to her but she refuses to change her edit-warring, stating that it's "retarted" that she should have to cite sources. wikipediatrix 23:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Now
User:Lil Flip246 and
User:PageantUpdater have been tag-teaming to re-insert the copyright-violating text, copyright-violating images, unsourced gossip, etc.... on my talk page,
User:PageantUpdater admits that she has not even bothered to check
User:Lil Flip246's sources but is restoring them anyway because "I've watched a few seasons of this show".
User:Lil Flip246 just now, for the third time, claimed on my talk page that I am doing this only to ruin the articles so they'll fail the AfD - which is preposterous, because they're more likely to PASS the AfD because of my cleanup than if I'd left them alone. Can you put a stop to this? The personal attacks from
User:Lil Flip246 are the last straw but I'd hate to drag everyone into an RfC.

21:43, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you just removed the no source tag from Image:Bobby_Fischer.gif. The tag itself says to only remove it if you have provided source info, which you didn't. But what does "for the time being" mean? Are you going to find some source info for this image? Hbdragon88 23:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Sure, I'd be happy to (now that I know the history), but...I don't see anything on the IFD page that instructs on how to withdraw it. Hbdragon88 03:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
User:Lil Flip246 is still ignoring advice given by multiple editors and admins. Take a look at the Lisa D'Amato article, for example. Not only is it filled with unsourced gossip, her citation links still don't contain the information they're supposed to be sourcing, and she still uses "I saw on it TV myself" and "Someone said it on MySpace" as sources. I would hate to think that an editor could get by with such recklessness on a grand scale simply by being persistent. wikipediatrix 21:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Meegs. These images have been tagged now for almost two weeks: I still don't understand the next step. Are you able to delete them? I will have limited internet access for the next two weeks. Sandy 13:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I have provided a more accurate information and licensing tags for the image Image:Trisha 2.jpg. Could you check it out and tell me whether it may be used in the article now? Thanking you in advance. Shammy89 14:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi there Meegs! The IRFU ball is definitely not a Free Software Foundation image and I'm not sure exactly why I tagged it as such (ignorance of proper image rationale, I suppose). I'll tag that with a CSD (in case you are away at the moment). I have been in contact with both the Boston RFC and Boston Irish Wolfhounds RFC clubs in the past, and I'm not sure if they will want to relinquish their copyright entirely to those particular images; I will call/e-mail them to alert them of the situation (both are well-aware of the articles). I know Declan Prenty fairly well, so I could forward along an e-mail or have him contact the WMF directly. I had been under the assumption that tagging the photos as promotional was all right. I'll update the fair use rationale on the staged team pictures, but if you could keep an eye on them and let me know if there are future problems, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot for letting me know! hoopydink Conas tá tú? 21:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Regarding your copyright question - Image:Tom_petty_live.jpg The image was upload to my website by a user. I then uploaded it to Wikipedia and put it on the Tom Petty page. I have changed the copyright to release all rights on it... I am assuming that is what you want me to do? - Mudcrutch
I don't buy category:fictional divorcees much, because you then need to do category:fictional married people and category:fictional single people, and those categories theoretically could hold every adult fictional character. However, I think category:fictional murder victims is fine, as it's a direct subcategory of both category:fictional characters and category:murder victims.-- Mike Selinker 06:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello Meegs. You see, I have this image of Trisha Krishnan I would like to upload. It is from the film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana in which a small section of the article is dedicated to. I was wondering whether I could upload the picture and place the image next to the small section of information regarding the film. I have been observing the image problems on the page and was wondering whether I could do this. I would really appreciate your help. Thanking you in advance! Polo246 17:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for addressing the issue. I remember that before I first started uploading these images, I asked some admin about it and he said it was okay (if memory serves me correctly). I saw that other users had uploaded from mlb.com and tagged it as {{promotional}} and I thought I could also do the same.
Although I am still a bit confused on this image copyright business, I know that I was once in a situation in which I replaced a user-created picture of Albert Pujols with my fair use from mlb.com. I did not know it at the time, but he told me about my mistake, and I learned to avoid adding fair use images to certain pages. I believe that most of the images I have added were to baseball players who really aren't that notable in baseball, with a few exceptions here and there.
I might have missed this while reading the fair use criteria, but when someone gets a free image, can't they just remove my fair use image and replace it with the free alternative?
I really appreciate any response that can help me understand this whole fair use business.
And...thanks =) I hope my RfA will succeed.

Does the External link on user Parkerh page make sense to you? It refers to English equivalent of Japanese but looks more like latin, of some sort? the talk pages refer to spam. Richard Harvey 09:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Do you believe those images are fair use? If so, can you help defend them because I can't do it on my own. Ivan Kricancic 04:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed it's been awhile . . . and thanks. I actually was suffering from a headache at the time I was looking at those. I guess might have been better-advised to wait for the aspirin to kick in before I addressed them, so that I wouldn't have been in quite such a foul mood when I did. lol. But at least I'm feeling better now. And much thanks to you for responding to the WP:PUI list. Mwelch 07:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
You have indicated an interest in the former article; would you mind hoeing in now? Some editor appears determined to delete the article on the grounds of non-notability. One can only assume some personal animus. Thanks. Masalai 02:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
What precisely are you saying here about "articles for deletion"? One person appears to have some sort of animus regarding the subject of the article. Is it the case that an "articles for deletion" tag may be added to ANY article with which one has personal issues? Masalai 02:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Meegs. I am currently involved in a dispute with two editors about the use of the Gulf Oil logo in the Betelgeuse incident article. It seems to me that this logo does not significantly contribute to the article, and thus fails the eighth point of the Wikipedia fair-use policy. The Total logo has just recently been added to the article, and though I haven't yet said anything about it, I think this image also adds nothing significant. I would appreciate your opinion on the matter; the discussion is ongoing at Image talk:Gulf.png. Thank you for your time. — Bkell ( talk) 17:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs. You see, I've acquired permission from several websites to use their images on Wikipedia and they've agreed to release the image under the Creative Commons Attribution License v. 2.5. So it's okay if I upload these images and provide proof on the image page right? Thanks! Hariharan91 13:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Nambiar, Our site is the official online media partner for the movie Stalin, from which you picked the photo. The photos have been given to us, to be exploited on our site for commercial use. We are also authorized to redistribute the photos. All the photos of the movie on all the other telugu movie sites were provided by us. Our site's sub-editor Mr. Srinivas Kumar is the publicity in-charge for the movie 'Stalin'. I can assure you we have all rights for the photo as long as its distributed for free. We only do not have the rights to print it or sell it. I hope I have clarified enough. If there is any other photo on our site - feel free to use them. We have a lot stills of actresses. Check out the list : http://www.nonstopcinema.com/gallery Regards, Venkat NonstopCinema.com Team
Should I email them again and ask them whether or not this image can be used by others as they wish? Hariharan91 09:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Ivan, I am sorry that you feel Abu Badali is harassing you, but there are some legitimate issues raised above that need to be addressed. Note that he could have immediately sought the images' deletion, but instead was trying to work with you to save them. If you will cooperate briefly, then we can settle these issues and you can both go your own ways. Let me try to restate the questions:
Regards × Meegs 08:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs. Woopsies. I though OrphanBot deleted the images, but I guess some get reinstated. Oh, dear, I'd better take a break as it appears either way, the backlog is irritating me.....Let's just say that only a few admins keep their "election promises"...Regards, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 04:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC).
Hello, Meegs, User:Hariharan91 has managed to get a free image of Trisha Krishnan and I haven't given up either to get some others. Anyway, just to make sure. Here's the page of the picture, Email conversation between Hari and copyright holder included. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Trisha_Krishnan.jpg Did Hariharan do everything the right way? Is that picture now really appropriate for Wikipedia and does it qualify as a "free picture"? Can we upload it on Creative Commons? Best regards, -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 16:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I think you may (unfortunately) be correct about the roller coaster images that I uploaded. Although I believe point one--the criterion banning any fair use image which currently does not exist under free licence (but has the potential to)--is unduly restrictive; that seems to be consensus and policy. After a more thorough reading of policy and discussion, I find that I really don't have many arguments against this. Feel free to tag them for deletion or fair use review. Thanks for the good wishes on my RfA though. Best, Irongargoyle 16:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Please, if those pictures can be used, or have a possibility to fix my tagging error in this pictures, help me. I bust my ass to made this portuguese articles are clean, to pass e teach about the bands in question. Teach me how tag right. Hugs. Brazylianskies

That's okay, Meegs — I guess I have been lazy in verifying the origins of images. I don't mind when you catch these things, because I learn from them. I've gotten a lot better at rationales than when I've started. Anyways, since then I've decided to not deal with fair use claims on living people pictures. —

Sorry if I caused any problems with my "spamming". I did not know this was against the rules. Anyway I was just trying to get the word out because this article needs another POV rather than just from obvious students who use this article as a stage for academic boosterism. We need a wide range of others who can provide a more balanced point of view about the institution, especially because of recent accusations of institutional racism, problems with student riots, and problems with alcohol. These problems are overshadowed by an elitist college riding on a reputation. Speedystickd 00:42, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks!
![]() Thank you very much for your comments on my recent Request for Adminship, and for reconsidering your opposition (even if it didn't result in any actual change). As you know, the request was ultimately unsuccessful - which wasn't entirely surprising - and so I'll be taking special care to address others' concerns before running again. If you have any feedback for me, please don't hesitate to leave it at my talk page. Thanks! |

I would like to point out that a recent vote for prohibiting sollicitation of votes in WP:AID failed (7-9 vote count) (see here. I also would like to remind you of being civil, especially to newcomers. Calling someone's clumsy but innocent attempts to gain support for his article "spamming", is not my idea of civility, and almost resulted in losing this editor. Errabee 22:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello there.... User:StarbuckDude continues to upload copyright-violation images, and has been restoring them every time I try to remove them. Additionally, User:Lil Flip246 has also been restoring them (she's violated the 3RR rule on several articles such as Eva Pigford) as fast as editors can remove them, plus restoring unsourced gossip and text from each of the articles bundled in this nomination: [7] .....can you take a look? Other editors as well as myself have tried to explain WP:RS and WP:V to her but she refuses to change her edit-warring, stating that it's "retarted" that she should have to cite sources. wikipediatrix 23:17, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Now
User:Lil Flip246 and
User:PageantUpdater have been tag-teaming to re-insert the copyright-violating text, copyright-violating images, unsourced gossip, etc.... on my talk page,
User:PageantUpdater admits that she has not even bothered to check
User:Lil Flip246's sources but is restoring them anyway because "I've watched a few seasons of this show".
User:Lil Flip246 just now, for the third time, claimed on my talk page that I am doing this only to ruin the articles so they'll fail the AfD - which is preposterous, because they're more likely to PASS the AfD because of my cleanup than if I'd left them alone. Can you put a stop to this? The personal attacks from
User:Lil Flip246 are the last straw but I'd hate to drag everyone into an RfC.

I noticed that you just removed the no source tag from Image:Bobby_Fischer.gif. The tag itself says to only remove it if you have provided source info, which you didn't. But what does "for the time being" mean? Are you going to find some source info for this image? Hbdragon88 23:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Sure, I'd be happy to (now that I know the history), but...I don't see anything on the IFD page that instructs on how to withdraw it. Hbdragon88 03:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
User:Lil Flip246 is still ignoring advice given by multiple editors and admins. Take a look at the Lisa D'Amato article, for example. Not only is it filled with unsourced gossip, her citation links still don't contain the information they're supposed to be sourcing, and she still uses "I saw on it TV myself" and "Someone said it on MySpace" as sources. I would hate to think that an editor could get by with such recklessness on a grand scale simply by being persistent. wikipediatrix 21:35, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Dear Meegs: This is Brian Pinzon there is no way that I placed my pindome info 11 times on wiki. But that besides the point as to why I am writing you. Do you have a reason?

Hi, Meegs. These images have been tagged now for almost two weeks: I still don't understand the next step. Are you able to delete them? I will have limited internet access for the next two weeks. Sandy 13:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
I have provided a more accurate information and licensing tags for the image Image:Trisha 2.jpg. Could you check it out and tell me whether it may be used in the article now? Thanking you in advance. Shammy89 14:08, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi there Meegs! The IRFU ball is definitely not a Free Software Foundation image and I'm not sure exactly why I tagged it as such (ignorance of proper image rationale, I suppose). I'll tag that with a CSD (in case you are away at the moment). I have been in contact with both the Boston RFC and Boston Irish Wolfhounds RFC clubs in the past, and I'm not sure if they will want to relinquish their copyright entirely to those particular images; I will call/e-mail them to alert them of the situation (both are well-aware of the articles). I know Declan Prenty fairly well, so I could forward along an e-mail or have him contact the WMF directly. I had been under the assumption that tagging the photos as promotional was all right. I'll update the fair use rationale on the staged team pictures, but if you could keep an eye on them and let me know if there are future problems, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot for letting me know! hoopydink Conas tá tú? 21:23, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the archive fix, I must have been more tired than I thought when I archived it to the main namespace :-O -- Sherool (talk) 05:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Regarding your copyright question - Image:Tom_petty_live.jpg The image was upload to my website by a user. I then uploaded it to Wikipedia and put it on the Tom Petty page. I have changed the copyright to release all rights on it... I am assuming that is what you want me to do? - Mudcrutch
I don't buy category:fictional divorcees much, because you then need to do category:fictional married people and category:fictional single people, and those categories theoretically could hold every adult fictional character. However, I think category:fictional murder victims is fine, as it's a direct subcategory of both category:fictional characters and category:murder victims.-- Mike Selinker 06:10, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
The AFC Wizard Proof of concept is complete at Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wizard.

Since you kindly removed the Tom Petty photo I had placed on the Tom Petty page -- could you please add the following photo in its place? I have uploaded it and it can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tompetty_nissan_pavilion_06.jpg For some reason when I add it to the infobox it does not appear. Hmmm. - Mudcrutch
Hello Meegs. You see, I have this image of Trisha Krishnan I would like to upload. It is from the film Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana in which a small section of the article is dedicated to. I was wondering whether I could upload the picture and place the image next to the small section of information regarding the film. I have been observing the image problems on the page and was wondering whether I could do this. I would really appreciate your help. Thanking you in advance! Polo246 17:28, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for addressing the issue. I remember that before I first started uploading these images, I asked some admin about it and he said it was okay (if memory serves me correctly). I saw that other users had uploaded from mlb.com and tagged it as {{promotional}} and I thought I could also do the same.
Although I am still a bit confused on this image copyright business, I know that I was once in a situation in which I replaced a user-created picture of Albert Pujols with my fair use from mlb.com. I did not know it at the time, but he told me about my mistake, and I learned to avoid adding fair use images to certain pages. I believe that most of the images I have added were to baseball players who really aren't that notable in baseball, with a few exceptions here and there.
I might have missed this while reading the fair use criteria, but when someone gets a free image, can't they just remove my fair use image and replace it with the free alternative?
I really appreciate any response that can help me understand this whole fair use business.
And...thanks =) I hope my RfA will succeed.

Does the External link on user Parkerh page make sense to you? It refers to English equivalent of Japanese but looks more like latin, of some sort? the talk pages refer to spam. Richard Harvey 09:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
Do you believe those images are fair use? If so, can you help defend them because I can't do it on my own. Ivan Kricancic 04:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed it's been awhile . . . and thanks. I actually was suffering from a headache at the time I was looking at those. I guess might have been better-advised to wait for the aspirin to kick in before I addressed them, so that I wouldn't have been in quite such a foul mood when I did. lol. But at least I'm feeling better now. And much thanks to you for responding to the WP:PUI list. Mwelch 07:31, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
You have indicated an interest in the former article; would you mind hoeing in now? Some editor appears determined to delete the article on the grounds of non-notability. One can only assume some personal animus. Thanks. Masalai 02:25, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
What precisely are you saying here about "articles for deletion"? One person appears to have some sort of animus regarding the subject of the article. Is it the case that an "articles for deletion" tag may be added to ANY article with which one has personal issues? Masalai 02:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Meegs. I am currently involved in a dispute with two editors about the use of the Gulf Oil logo in the Betelgeuse incident article. It seems to me that this logo does not significantly contribute to the article, and thus fails the eighth point of the Wikipedia fair-use policy. The Total logo has just recently been added to the article, and though I haven't yet said anything about it, I think this image also adds nothing significant. I would appreciate your opinion on the matter; the discussion is ongoing at Image talk:Gulf.png. Thank you for your time. — Bkell ( talk) 17:31, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs. You see, I've acquired permission from several websites to use their images on Wikipedia and they've agreed to release the image under the Creative Commons Attribution License v. 2.5. So it's okay if I upload these images and provide proof on the image page right? Thanks! Hariharan91 13:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Nambiar, Our site is the official online media partner for the movie Stalin, from which you picked the photo. The photos have been given to us, to be exploited on our site for commercial use. We are also authorized to redistribute the photos. All the photos of the movie on all the other telugu movie sites were provided by us. Our site's sub-editor Mr. Srinivas Kumar is the publicity in-charge for the movie 'Stalin'. I can assure you we have all rights for the photo as long as its distributed for free. We only do not have the rights to print it or sell it. I hope I have clarified enough. If there is any other photo on our site - feel free to use them. We have a lot stills of actresses. Check out the list : http://www.nonstopcinema.com/gallery Regards, Venkat NonstopCinema.com Team
Should I email them again and ask them whether or not this image can be used by others as they wish? Hariharan91 09:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Ivan, I am sorry that you feel Abu Badali is harassing you, but there are some legitimate issues raised above that need to be addressed. Note that he could have immediately sought the images' deletion, but instead was trying to work with you to save them. If you will cooperate briefly, then we can settle these issues and you can both go your own ways. Let me try to restate the questions:
Regards × Meegs 08:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs. Woopsies. I though OrphanBot deleted the images, but I guess some get reinstated. Oh, dear, I'd better take a break as it appears either way, the backlog is irritating me.....Let's just say that only a few admins keep their "election promises"...Regards, Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 04:20, 27 September 2006 (UTC).
Hello, Meegs, User:Hariharan91 has managed to get a free image of Trisha Krishnan and I haven't given up either to get some others. Anyway, just to make sure. Here's the page of the picture, Email conversation between Hari and copyright holder included. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Trisha_Krishnan.jpg Did Hariharan do everything the right way? Is that picture now really appropriate for Wikipedia and does it qualify as a "free picture"? Can we upload it on Creative Commons? Best regards, -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 16:00, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I think you may (unfortunately) be correct about the roller coaster images that I uploaded. Although I believe point one--the criterion banning any fair use image which currently does not exist under free licence (but has the potential to)--is unduly restrictive; that seems to be consensus and policy. After a more thorough reading of policy and discussion, I find that I really don't have many arguments against this. Feel free to tag them for deletion or fair use review. Thanks for the good wishes on my RfA though. Best, Irongargoyle 16:44, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
