Thanks very much for the star. It's nice to know someone's noticing. That one'll hopefully be going to FAC, soon- just hoping my enquiries will turn up a usable image! J Milburn ( talk) 23:55, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
If you allow me to, I will tweak it a bit. If not, no hard feelings. I was thinking of creating my own page either way.
One thing though, I would not grade transfers. In my opinion transfers are either acceptable or they are unacceptable. If they're missing information or are not understandable, it's not a "C", it's "unacceptable". Grades have an air of finality about them, whereas the methodology we should be using is "that isn't quite right, here's how you fix it".

Hi, thanks for holding this open for me. I've attempted to address the issue by organising the information in the "early life" section thematically rather than chronologically, dealing with personal affairs first and career second, and of course by playing around with a lot of the sentences.

This was deleted 19 August File:Micah Schweinsberg.jpg as a non free image. I believe it's back again with a free use tag as File:MicahSchweinsbergteresa.jpg. The summary lists the deleted file as another version. Thought I recognized the image as being the same one which was deleted, but can't see a copy of the deleted photo. The deleted photo listed a url as its source. The account has uploaded other images to both WP and Commons which could be questionable.

Hi Quadell, just as I was looking around for an uninvolved admin, your name popped up on my watchlist. :)
I'm looking for someone to speedy delete this fair-use image, which isn't used anywhere and can't be, per BLP. It was recently uploaded and added to Jessica Valenti, the subject of the large inset. The image has been used to harass her in the past, and she feels harassed by it now. She has asked that it be removed; see her comment here. Discussion at BLPN here, where there is consensus that the image is inappropriate.
If you want to know the background, the context in which the image was used to cause a problem for her is described by her here in The Guardian, 8th paragraph onwards. SlimVirgin TALK| CONTRIBS 17:19, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi Quadell, I wonder if you can help with a question regarding an article. I'm not sure if this is something that should go onto the NFCR page or if there is another review forum that is more appropriate. I'm looking at possibly starting work on the James Bond (film series) article to get it back up to GA status. The page contains a stack of non-free images, some in montage: firstly, are the montage pictures allowable, do you know? Secondly, would you consider (as I think I do) that there are just too many non-free images on the page? thanks if you can help on this! - SchroCat ( ^ • @) 21:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

You have to rename the existing links before you delete a filename after a move. Once you delete you have permanently severed any ties between the image and the articles it appeared in. See File:Gonzalo de Quesada y Aróstegui.jpg as an example, the old name was deleted as were any connections to the image. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 17:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for helping. I think the subject is interesting, the article pulls together a fair amount of material and is accurate as far as it goes. But I am not sure how accessible it would be to someone who knows nothing of the subject, whether there are aspects that should have more or less coverage, whether it is truly neutral, etc. A fresh pair of critical eyes would be great!

Thanks for the really helpful feedback you gave me in your GA Review of Irenaean theodicy - it was much appreciated. ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 20:45, 14 September 2011 (UTC) |
Would like to add this image to our Fred Allen article, but need an opinion on original ownership. At lower right front, there's a CBS Photo logo, but the back is stamped Acme. There's another onethat's similar but it has no CBS Photo logo on it. Would really like to use them both; neither have negatives left.
UPI bought them in the 1950s, but according to the LOC few of the Acme marked photos in their collection were ever initially registered for copyright. They also found no Acme renewals for those that were. (This may open another interesting can of worms for free use images here.)
My thought is that CBS was the original owner of the images as they're both publicity photos with their press releases on the back for the premiere of Allen's show in 1940. What's confusing is the Acme backstamps and I'd like to have the opinion of someone who may be seeing it differently. Thanks!! We hope ( talk) 19:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

02:08, 18 September 2011 (UTC)Am in the process of getting some Acme examples together now. It seems they were around from 1923 to 1952 and looks like many state and university libraries have Acme photos in their online collections. They look to have been a serious news force at one time, as I've seen Acme photos of John Dillinger's body and some of the Lindburgh kidnapping in the various online collections. We hope ( talk) 16:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Just to say thanks for your excellent input. I will keep working on the article, but am a bit busy in real life clearing a backlog of work before going on vacation next week, so may be delayed getting all the changes made. I find that they takes more thought and time than I would have expected. This is valuable learning. Again, I really appreciate the effort you have made and think the article will be much better as a result. Aymatth2 ( talk) 15:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for checking further on this. That's pretty much what I figured. Oh well. Guess I'll have to try and get closer to Sam Bowie personally next time! Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 17:34, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
So I reviewed one of your images, I found that there was no source specified so I checked other images. All your moved images have the problem. Might I ask w=if you know the source? If you do not know, might I suggest that you stop with that type of image (Della Grazie Battery). ~~

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect List of Nobel laureates that Wikipedia has decided are 'Jewish', but won't say why. Since you had some involvement with the List of Nobel laureates that Wikipedia has decided are 'Jewish', but won't say why redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so).

Further to your encouraging message, I've made an attempt at starting my first GA review ( here); if possible, could you take a quick look and check I've made reasonable comments? Jebus989 ? 09:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Talk:James D. Watson still says "status=onreview"; according to the instructions at
Wikipedia:Good article nominations, you should probably either put the review "on hold" to wait for changes, or simply fail the nomination outright. I think either option would be appropriate, though I'd personally be more inclined to the latter. Thanks for reviewing this nomination! –

Do you think that I should add something to the rationale that I designed/made both the communication book [6] and the overlay shown on the gotalk [7]? It seemed from Courcelles comments that it was an important fact. Poule ( talk) 21:00, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Quadell, I wonder if you can help with a question regarding an article. I'm not sure if this is something that should go onto the NFCR page or if there is another review forum that is more appropriate. I'm looking at possibly starting work on the James Bond (film series) article to get it back up to GA status. The page contains a stack of non-free images, some in montage: firstly, are the montage pictures allowable, do you know? Secondly, would you consider (as I think I do) that there are just too many non-free images on the page? thanks if you can help on this! - SchroCat ( ^ • @) 21:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for all the work you did in making Bill Clinton a certified "Good Article"! Your work is much appreciated. (Congratulations template shamelessly stolen from, well, you :p ) Failedwizard ( talk) 06:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC) |
forgive my newness (and phone-based editing), but is [8] game over? or is there anything we can do? Failedwizard ( talk) 17:16, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
You have to rename the existing links before you delete a filename after a move. Once you delete you have permanently severed any ties between the image and the articles it appeared in. See File:Gonzalo de Quesada y Aróstegui.jpg as an example, the old name was deleted as were any connections to the image. -- Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) ( talk) 17:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm really happy that there is at least one generous person who acknowledges the effort of others. Now we all know who that person is. To return the favour, let their work also be acknowledged! Thank you Quadell. Sp33dyphil " Ad astra" 23:45, 10 September 2011 (UTC) |
I appreciate the sentiment, and for the encouragement. The cool thing about it is that I've recently gotten back into interpreting. How'd you know? ;) Christine ( talk) 14:39, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
As a follow-up to my questions at WP:MCQ, could I request you take a look at the current work and give me your opinion as to the closeness of the wording? The meaning itself would be more for a Japanese speaker. Crisco 1492 ( talk) 14:49, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. I hope the user I asked for help is willing. I'll blank the page. Thanks again for the help. Crisco 1492 ( talk) 23:08, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for helping. I think the subject is interesting, the article pulls together a fair amount of material and is accurate as far as it goes. But I am not sure how accessible it would be to someone who knows nothing of the subject, whether there are aspects that should have more or less coverage, whether it is truly neutral, etc. A fresh pair of critical eyes would be great! Aymatth2 ( talk) 14:33, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Sadly not :( But since I (as editor-in-chief) always end up sharing in the other editor's pain, so I can justly bask in their limelight :P - Jarry1250 Weasel? Discuss. 20:30, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
First of all, thanks for your participation. I would like you to move
Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media/Commons/Drive Nov 2011 to
Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media/Commons/Drives/Jan 2012 without a redirect and move the subpages too. After the current drive, I would like
Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media/Commons/Drive Sep 2011 and its subpages to be moved with a redirect to
Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media/Commons/Drives/Sep 2011 and subpages. ~~

Thanks for the really helpful feedback you gave me in your GA Review of Irenaean theodicy - it was much appreciated. ItsZippy ( talk • contributions) 20:45, 14 September 2011 (UTC) |
Would like to add this image to our Fred Allen article, but need an opinion on original ownership. At lower right front, there's a CBS Photo logo, but the back is stamped Acme. There's another onethat's similar but it has no CBS Photo logo on it. Would really like to use them both; neither have negatives left.
UPI bought them in the 1950s, but according to the LOC few of the Acme marked photos in their collection were ever initially registered for copyright. They also found no Acme renewals for those that were. (This may open another interesting can of worms for free use images here.)
My thought is that CBS was the original owner of the images as they're both publicity photos with their press releases on the back for the premiere of Allen's show in 1940. What's confusing is the Acme backstamps and I'd like to have the opinion of someone who may be seeing it differently. Thanks!! We hope ( talk) 19:20, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

02:08, 18 September 2011 (UTC)Am in the process of getting some Acme examples together now. It seems they were around from 1923 to 1952 and looks like many state and university libraries have Acme photos in their online collections. They look to have been a serious news force at one time, as I've seen Acme photos of John Dillinger's body and some of the Lindburgh kidnapping in the various online collections. We hope ( talk) 16:28, 18 September 2011 (UTC)
Just to say thanks for your excellent input. I will keep working on the article, but am a bit busy in real life clearing a backlog of work before going on vacation next week, so may be delayed getting all the changes made. I find that they takes more thought and time than I would have expected. This is valuable learning. Again, I really appreciate the effort you have made and think the article will be much better as a result. Aymatth2 ( talk) 15:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, Quadell. A little while ago you reviewed and rejected my Good Article nomination for the Irenaean theodicy article. I've spent the past few days trying to improve the article to get it to GA standard. Do you think you could have a quick look and tell me if there is anything you think I need to improve before I renominate the article? Thanks very much.
