Hey, I just wanted to tell you that all 100ish of the MLB.com images that I uploaded have been deleted. Thanks for telling me about the problem in the first place. -- Nishkid64 23:50, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
At the following page, back in August — Categories for deletion-Wikipedians from Texas you posted the following:
"The result of the debate was void. Mike Selinker is apparently preparing a mass nomination of some kind. Discussion can begin once he posts it. ×Meegs 17:54, 21 August 2006 (UTC) Category:Wikipedians from Texas" However, I note that the category has, in fact, been deleted. Given that a deleted category doesn't have a history tab, I am a bit confused as to how to track down whether someone went through the legitimate process or not, and also whether it was deleted outright or merged with something else or renamed. How do I best find out what happened to this? Lawikitejana 07:48, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
There is a discussion of the fair use assertment of an image going on for this page. Your comments on the talk page would be much appreciated. note:This message has been sent to all recent registered editors of the article, less vandal fighters — xaosflux Talk 21:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I was wondering if you could provide me with some guidance on how to handle an image copyright problem I stumbled upon. The recently registered user Native Boy has uploaded over a dozen photos in the past few weeks [1]. The first six images were deleted because they did not have any copyright tags, however all of the photos uploaded since October 1 were tagged with the GNU free license. At least one of these GNU-tagged images appears to have been taken directly from a commercial website selling copies of the image. I sent an email to the site's webmaster seeking clarification that the image has not been released into the public domain, but my suspicion is that all of the user's contributions have been tagged as GNU just to get around wikipedia's copyright rules. Once the commercial site confirms that their photo is still under copyright, I will tag the image on wikipedia with Nothanks-sd, however I am not sure what to do about the other ten images. -- Kralizec!

Howdy Meegs! We have had a brief encounter or two in the past, such as here, dealing with images. Recently, I have been trying to help in non-admin capacity until I reach that distinction. I currently use WP:VP2 & Discussion Manager, I assess articles on projects I am apart of, and do new page patrol (trying not to WP:BITE). One particular area I have been drawn to more lately has been images. Anyway, I was wondering if you have any tips or such for me in how I can help. I have found this list, which I have been patrolling/checking for such stuff as copyright status, fair use tags, proper sourcing, ect. Anything else I can do? Cheers! -- moe.RON talk | done | doing 20:43, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs! Just seeking your opinion on something! This article page St George's Quarter scheme has been created as a spin off from the Huddersfield page by new well meaning editors. Do you think this, currently 1 line, article merits a seperate article page? I'm also a bit concerned that the two new editors are uploading copyright images from other websites. I've put a query up on the wiki help desk about them but would like a second opinion. Richard Harvey 20:02, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey Meegs. I saw your comments about the deletion of the eagle picture for La Sierra High school. I'm actually an alumnus from the school, and the logo is painted on the side of our gym and is on most of the merchandise. Would it help if I scanned those for the article? (I wasn't able to look at the original eagle picture that was used for the LS page because it has been deleted.) Please let me know. :) Roarke Stratton 23:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks Meegs, I am very thankful to get such notices and suggestion. I have made some appropriate changes to the. I am very sorry about that I could not respond when I was at the wikibreak and after that I simply archived the paegs without noticing such issues. Thanks for knowing about WP:FUC too. Regards, Shyam ( T/ C) 08:28, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi! repeat problems from two users previously mentioned:-
User:James Huddz Had uploaded these images to the Huddersfield article, despite just having similar ones deleted as copyvios.
The first has a spam link for the source link, the second and the third are repeat uploads of images that have just been deleted within the last few days.
I have tagged them with {{imagevio|url=http// whatever they were}}. Then added them to [3] and put the relevant notice on his talk page, for each image here:- User talk:James Huddz. As its the first time I have fully followed this sequence through I would appreciate it if you could check I have done everything correctly. I have removed them from the article page now. Richard Harvey 20:31, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs! I just spotted some problems that are appearing on the User:WTF user page, see history from the start of the month. Its beyond my ken to do something as I think its something that requires and admins block functions. Could you take a look? Richard Harvey 08:23, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
No problem. I just had no idea what was going on. The IP and the two other users seemed to be sockpuppets but then I found out that the page was moved from another user page, then one of the users says they are WTF's brother. Anyway, its over. Gdo01 09:16, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Greetings Meegs. The reason I am writing to you is to notify you regarding film articles User:Thamizhan has created regarding the actor Madhavan. I've searched and searched the whole net but I've yet to find a single article which mentions these films. Also, I am an avid followers of websites regarding Hindi language films and Tamil language films and I have not seen an article on these websites which gives mention to these films. Examples of these articles are : Yaaravan Nalam, Hello Zindagi, Aaval and Ivan Yaaro. Also note that all these articles provide the same trivia, that is that these so called "films" are being shot at a budget of Rs. 30 million and these articles have been created on the same day. These articles have also been created in a mere gap of 13 minutes, which is bound to raise suspicion.
Also, the entire article regarding the actor in question, Madhavan, has not been written in a neutral point of view. All the images on this article shouldn't even be there as they infringe on copyrights. I implore you to look into this matter. Thank you. I had earlier reported this to User:Yamla but to no avail. He did not seem interested in the matter, he even archived the topic not even with a reply. I would really appreciate your concern into this. -- Visual planet 17:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Ah Thanks for the compliment. I'll keep that in mind in the future :) -- ShadowJester07 21:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs!; Following a revert by User:BlueValour to some petty vandalism by User:James Huddz, on the Huddersfield article, I've been having a browse through the contribs lists and some edited articles by him and User:Usman uk, mostly prompted by their continued uploading of copyvio images. looking at the Huddersfield edit histories from the 4th of Oct 2006, and the 25th of Oct 2006 edits to Karachi, then comparing the type of edits done, I am of the opinion that they may be one and the same! Possibly also including User:82.30.67.165. Would it be possible for you to check that hypothesis? It may prove useful if an editing block is required, which seems likely judging by the way they are going. Richard Harvey 18:23, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I could not figure out how to leave a message so I am doing it this way.

For reverting the Vandalism done to to my page by User:200.181.82.179. Richard Harvey 13:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Just checked this with VP. I'm not sure if the edits are vandalism or a copyright issue. Richard Harvey 15:57, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Good Morning (UK wise of Course). Could you take a look at the 2 contribs of this anon user please? I have knocked the edits off Dhulbahante with VP. Partly as they didn't seem right for the article, but also because I have seen the same edits on another article yesterday, though by a different anon user, which I left as I had only noticed the image and thought it sincere. It was on a wiki 'how to' type page. If you look at the http link that was put on it seems to redirect you back to the wiki upload file page. I will go and hunt for it and then revert it as well if you feel this is a touch of vandalism and not a badly done edit? Richard Harvey 09:21, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Dear Meegs, I have a favor to ask of you. Recently, the vandalism on the Dhoom 2 page by unregistered users have become more frequent. The page is literally being vandalized every single day. I've seen administrators protecting pages after being requested to. Could you protect the page? -- Maddy20 18:53, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello, CZmarlin. I've just tagged Image:93EagleVisionPR.jpg as replaceable as well. Cab forward could be illustrated just as well with a free content image, couldn't it? Regards. × Meegs 15:05, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs! Could you please delete this image of mine? I have now uploaded it to commons as Image:Orkney Islands.jpg. Many Thanks. Richard Harvey 09:06, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Meegs,
I take this pic from the English Wikipedia at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/73/Runninginthefamily.jpg/150px-Runninginthefamily.jpg.

Hey there Meegs! I was hoping you might help with something, or at least take a look and give me your opinions. We had a previous discussion about a user on your talk page here. Now, take a look at images uploaded by There's Been a Kill ( talk · contribs). I believe that this is the same user as Onlyslighted ( talk · contribs), Padgett22 ( talk · contribs), Steph11 ( talk · contribs) and SEGA ( talk · contribs). As you can see from my edits last night, I went through a lot of old photos by Onlyslighted and SEGA that are unsourced or used in a wrong way. Now, this new user starts uploading in a VERY similar manner. I really don't know what to do about it, though. Should I request a check user (none of the names are banned, it just seems the user started a new name when they thought they were getting close to being banned)? Should I post something on AN/I? -- moe. RON Let's talk | done 18:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey there! I was hoping that if you have the time, you can take a look at Image:bonnaroo_ETSU.jpg. The uploader, Trey Fan ( talk · contribs), states that it his his photo and when he inserted it into Trey Anastasio, he put that the photo was taken by Michael Tharp. In fact, I found the photo at [6] where it states it was taken by Jeff Kravitz and that "All Photos © 2002 Superfly Productions." What can I do or what should be done to call into question this image? -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 18:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I saw you blocked whoever this is. Is it possible to block this person/school forever? Nearly all of his/their edits are vandalism. Just saying... -- ASDFGHJKL 23:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Us it OK to upload a postage stamp? If it is, what type of a copyright description is required? please tell me exactly how to proceed. The stamp is from Mexico. Best, Healkids 05:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. What then is the {{ db-unksource}} to be used for? It specifically lists that the image is a CSD candidate because it has been tagged with the other tags for at least 7 days. Further, to "wait until an admin gets to it" isn't an effective process. It's too easy for admins to skip over the image listing categories at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion to get to the articles which seem to take priority and handled regularly. Images that are 5 days past the 7 day expiration need some pushing to get handled. This is the CSD notice I place on the images. I understand there are lots of images and things to get to and a backlog, but waiting isn't appropriate in my opinion. (As a note, to be clear, and please do not take offense, I do only CSD tag images that are more than the 7 days old and clearly CSD. That is, they don't include a URL or other clearly source info. Whereas most have nothing but the other tags.) -- MECU≈ talk 17:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs! Could you please delete the above image for me, that I uploaded a while back? I have now uploaded it to commons. I have edited the articles using it to the commons image;- Image:Victoria Cross Medal Ribbon & Bar.jpg. Though this article:- Portal:Australia/Anniversaries/August is still shown to be linked to the image for deletion. I have edited it as noted that when you click on the image it shows it to be the commons Image? I can't understand why the link is still showing! Thanks. Richard Harvey 19:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
hello Meegs, Thanks for your concerns. I had found 4 images from my initial uploads which could have copyright problems. Two of the images, Image:Nishan Pad Yatra.jpg and Image:Falgun Mela.jpg, I could found out here. But the website does not claim any copyrights. I had been unable to contact the wesite owner previously. For two other images, Image:Khatushyamji.jpg and Image:Teen Baan.jpg, I could not find out the appropraie source. Then , I suppose, all of the uploads should be deleted. Please suggest, Shyam ( T/ C) 18:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Meegs, first of all, you could not enforce to stay away any particular user from a project, where (s)he wants to work. I have good knowledge about image policies. I have read all the fair use criteria and image policies. May be, I need to read the talk pages of these policies as well before, so I could get clearer idea about those newly implemented policies, like, no fair use rationable, and replacable fair-use images. Those were implemented during my break from Wikipedia. I would read all the discussions carefully, as the time will permit me.
Will you please let me know, where I had made the wrong decisions? If you think I had got the admin tools earlier and you are not convinced with my admin actions, you could make request for de-sysoping me. Let the community decide, if I am not eligible to carry the tool. I would like to say one thing, please do not make harsh comments. Regards, Shyam ( T/ C) 10:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
hi Meegs. Could you restore the File:Akayev.jpg for now? I believe it was deleted in error: Shyam Bihari referred to invalid fair-use claim, but this requires 7 days wait for images uploaded before July 13, 2006. The disputed fair use tag was present already. - Ktotam 14:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Jeffness has taken to harrassing me by continually adding a huge chunk of text to a page I set up explaining RFU issues, User:Chowbok/Robth's RFU Explanation. If I revert, he threatens me with 3RR. Am I really obligated to let him add whatever he wants in there? What can I do about this? It's not exactly vandalism, but it seems like I should be allowed to set up an unmolested site in my userspace that lays out the issues as I see them. — Chowbok ☠ 00:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Could images created by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency be used in Wikipedia articles? The JAXA Photo Archives policy [7] leaves me a little unsure. Here are excerpts from the particularly relevant sections:
While my understanding of Wikipedia's image copyright rules is incomplete, my understanding is that given the above stipulations, JAXA images would be ineligible for inclusion under {{ CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat}}. However, I am not sure if JAXA images could then be used via {{ Fair use in}}.
Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, I tried looking through existing JAXA articles (see Category:Japanese space program), however most of those images appear to be (incorrectly) tagged as being {{ PD-USGov-NASA}}. As always, thanks again for your help! -- Kralizec! ( talk) 19:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to figure out how your edit is an improvement, since "Long Beach" in the info box is not an internal link. That's the only place the term appears. Jeffpw 13:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey there Meegs! I was hoping you might help with something, or at least take a look and give me your opinions. We had a previous discussion about a user on your talk page here. Now, take a look at images uploaded by There's Been a Kill ( talk · contribs). I believe that this is the same user as Onlyslighted ( talk · contribs), Padgett22 ( talk · contribs), Steph11 ( talk · contribs) and SEGA ( talk · contribs). As you can see from my edits last night, I went through a lot of old photos by Onlyslighted and SEGA that are unsourced or used in a wrong way. Now, this new user starts uploading in a VERY similar manner. I really don't know what to do about it, though. Should I request a check user (none of the names are banned, it just seems the user started a new name when they thought they were getting close to being banned)? Should I post something on AN/I? -- moe. RON Let's talk | done 18:36, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Hey there! I was hoping that if you have the time, you can take a look at Image:bonnaroo_ETSU.jpg. The uploader, Trey Fan ( talk · contribs), states that it his his photo and when he inserted it into Trey Anastasio, he put that the photo was taken by Michael Tharp. In fact, I found the photo at [6] where it states it was taken by Jeff Kravitz and that "All Photos © 2002 Superfly Productions." What can I do or what should be done to call into question this image? -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 18:41, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello, I saw you blocked whoever this is. Is it possible to block this person/school forever? Nearly all of his/their edits are vandalism. Just saying... -- ASDFGHJKL 23:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Us it OK to upload a postage stamp? If it is, what type of a copyright description is required? please tell me exactly how to proceed. The stamp is from Mexico. Best, Healkids 05:10, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
I disagree. What then is the {{ db-unksource}} to be used for? It specifically lists that the image is a CSD candidate because it has been tagged with the other tags for at least 7 days. Further, to "wait until an admin gets to it" isn't an effective process. It's too easy for admins to skip over the image listing categories at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion to get to the articles which seem to take priority and handled regularly. Images that are 5 days past the 7 day expiration need some pushing to get handled. This is the CSD notice I place on the images. I understand there are lots of images and things to get to and a backlog, but waiting isn't appropriate in my opinion. (As a note, to be clear, and please do not take offense, I do only CSD tag images that are more than the 7 days old and clearly CSD. That is, they don't include a URL or other clearly source info. Whereas most have nothing but the other tags.) -- MECU≈ talk 17:48, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs! Could you please delete the above image for me, that I uploaded a while back? I have now uploaded it to commons. I have edited the articles using it to the commons image;- Image:Victoria Cross Medal Ribbon & Bar.jpg. Though this article:- Portal:Australia/Anniversaries/August is still shown to be linked to the image for deletion. I have edited it as noted that when you click on the image it shows it to be the commons Image? I can't understand why the link is still showing! Thanks. Richard Harvey 19:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
hello Meegs, Thanks for your concerns. I had found 4 images from my initial uploads which could have copyright problems. Two of the images, Image:Nishan Pad Yatra.jpg and Image:Falgun Mela.jpg, I could found out here. But the website does not claim any copyrights. I had been unable to contact the wesite owner previously. For two other images, Image:Khatushyamji.jpg and Image:Teen Baan.jpg, I could not find out the appropraie source. Then , I suppose, all of the uploads should be deleted. Please suggest, Shyam ( T/ C) 18:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Hello Meegs, first of all, you could not enforce to stay away any particular user from a project, where (s)he wants to work. I have good knowledge about image policies. I have read all the fair use criteria and image policies. May be, I need to read the talk pages of these policies as well before, so I could get clearer idea about those newly implemented policies, like, no fair use rationable, and replacable fair-use images. Those were implemented during my break from Wikipedia. I would read all the discussions carefully, as the time will permit me.
Will you please let me know, where I had made the wrong decisions? If you think I had got the admin tools earlier and you are not convinced with my admin actions, you could make request for de-sysoping me. Let the community decide, if I am not eligible to carry the tool. I would like to say one thing, please do not make harsh comments. Regards, Shyam ( T/ C) 10:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
hi Meegs. Could you restore the File:Akayev.jpg for now? I believe it was deleted in error: Shyam Bihari referred to invalid fair-use claim, but this requires 7 days wait for images uploaded before July 13, 2006. The disputed fair use tag was present already. - Ktotam 14:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Jeffness has taken to harrassing me by continually adding a huge chunk of text to a page I set up explaining RFU issues, User:Chowbok/Robth's RFU Explanation. If I revert, he threatens me with 3RR. Am I really obligated to let him add whatever he wants in there? What can I do about this? It's not exactly vandalism, but it seems like I should be allowed to set up an unmolested site in my userspace that lays out the issues as I see them. — Chowbok ☠ 00:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

You are both making great suggestions. I add them just to have it in History what I have Uploaded, in Case People want to see. User:Obi-WanKenobi-2005 25, December 2006
Could images created by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency be used in Wikipedia articles? The JAXA Photo Archives policy [7] leaves me a little unsure. Here are excerpts from the particularly relevant sections:
While my understanding of Wikipedia's image copyright rules is incomplete, my understanding is that given the above stipulations, JAXA images would be ineligible for inclusion under {{ CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat}}. However, I am not sure if JAXA images could then be used via {{ Fair use in}}.
Not wanting to re-invent the wheel, I tried looking through existing JAXA articles (see Category:Japanese space program), however most of those images appear to be (incorrectly) tagged as being {{ PD-USGov-NASA}}. As always, thanks again for your help! -- Kralizec! ( talk) 19:59, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm trying to figure out how your edit is an improvement, since "Long Beach" in the info box is not an internal link. That's the only place the term appears. Jeffpw 13:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
Hi Meegs, I would just like to thank you for deleting my images as specified and making my life even less stressed! Happy New Year to you and everyone at Wikipedia. -- Extranet ( Talk | Contribs) 03:42, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
