Hi. I've noticed you're trying to discuss the Boba Phat AfD on the Wikipedia Review. Do as you please, but my advice, based on my experience is: you're wasting your time. WR is a highly idiosyncratic bunch of editors (many of them banned, for right or wrong reasons) which have often a strong deletionist stance especially related to biographies of living people (here known as BLPs). Some of their concerns make sense, but overall my personal feeling is that they are a bit paranoid on the thing, and try to slash most BLP articles which are not immediately obviously notable because they fear that it can bring "defamation" on the subject. Check their blog to have an idea of their opinions on WP and stuff. Also, they have a penchant to call everyone disagrees with their attitude as a troll, barring effectively any attempt to have a civil discussion. It is sad, but it is so. I swear I tried to have a civil discussion with them (check a thread about Miriam Sakewitz on the "Biographies of living persons" subforum), but it is nearly impossible to do that: they will nearly always accuse you of having an hidden agenda or of being a troll. Sad. If you go on, I hope you have better luck than me. -- Cyclopia - talk 19:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I do not understand why this image or any of the others you have added to the deletion list constitute pending deletion. All are photographs are sourced correctly and published in the public domain. I clarified this specifically in my rationale of each one please advise. Obviously the subject in question is Boba Phat as indicated not only by the original tagline themselves but also based on valid 3rd party news sources. These photos specifically refer to the character, thus meeting the criteria for GNG status (as a fictional character is technically not qualified as a BLP), and thus support Boba Phat's notability as a well-known cosplayer.

Hi, I saw your comments on Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 October 19 and I think you might have misunderstood Kelapstick's rationale for deleting your images. First, backup the images on your computer and make sure you have copies. Next, peruse Wikipedia:Non-free content and become familiar with it. Then, head over to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions and start a discussion about your images. Understand that Kelapstick nominated your "non-free" images for deletion because you have already uploaded and used alternate images that meet the "free equivalent" criteria. Viriditas ( talk) 08:25, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
←Gotcha. So the story is, the photos that you took from the newspaper still can't be used, as the copyright is still the property of the newspaper, even if they are attributed they are still copyright and can't be used without justification, and since there are free images available we won't be able to make justification for their use. That's just the way things work here, we use free content when it is available, and if it is not possible to get free content, we might use fair use content. As far as the Jane Wiedlin one, if you took that than we can use it and just have to change the licencing. Also there are a couple of things to tweak on the image page (I modified it a bit). First, add the date it was taken into the date field I added, second change source to "self made", what they are looking at is where you got the image, not where you were when you took it (you can add the convention details in the descrioption field. Next add {{ GFDL-self}} underneath the template, that will add the GFDL licencing, and it will likely have Creative Commons 3.0 added to it later on too. This should work...If you want to upload more pictures that you took (in person), you can, but this time where you select licencing, pick the one with "recommended" in brackets. Hope this helps...Cheers. -- kelapstick ( talk) 23:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I have added this discussion to my talk page so that it may garner insight from others who have repeatedly observed your questioning the notability of the article's subject despite consensus to keep on AfD page as notability has been CLEARLY established - I have been nothing but polite to you Drmies, however you seem to keep attempting to discredit myself and a multitude of other editors, while making unwarranted changes to this article with what even you yourself refer to as "assumptions". I should not have to keep deliberating with you on minute details. Simply because I agree on one issue regarding external links you made DOES NOT constitute your continuous pecking away at the article in question.
Hi Drmies:
Thanks for your review.
You question the notability of Boba Phat, (and yes I have 3rd party links I can reference, albeit the links are nobody of significance, just some YouTube convention attendees referring to him as an A-List Cosplayer, which he is.)
EVERY single reference provided is ACCURATE and expresses his notability among common cosplayers alike as well as a multitude of celebrities. Additionally, this past week alone he was featured in 2 print publications - Long Beach Press Telegram as well as the Daily Titan, along side his numerous online media sources. He is recognized at EVERY Comic Con & Star Wars event. His links are NOT just FICKR, Facebook & YouTube - there are a myriad of first-rate news sources who additionally address him as notable, including the LA Times, LB Post, Long Beach Press Telegram, SeattlePI, Metromix, Casey Pugh (creator of Vimeo), The Daily Titan, The Craig Ferguson Show, + more.
Additionally, he has been interviewed & will be a feature in Lucasfilm's upcoming Star Wars fan movie, as well as is presently featured in a documentary called Crashing the Con which is available for purchase through Amazon. Boba Phat makes NO MONEY off of this; he was featured simply due to his notability as an underground icon. He is also scheduled to be featured in the next issue of Star Wars Insider as he was interviewed & photographed at the latest Long Beach Comic Con for the article due to his recognizability among the copsplayer scene. Every single reference cited will take you to a link expressing his notability. There should be no issue here whatsoever. As soon as that issue hits stands, it will be referenced here.
As far as his relationship to Miss Clit, the same person worked on both Wikis, and she is notable as well, perhaps to a lesser degree, but still worthy of publicity, as she attracts crowds to Blowfly shows. Headlining with the the original inventor of rap music & multiple award-winning artist, as well as being a fixture on several of his top albums should easily convey her notability as well.
If there is anything specific you require - links or photos of the print articles or what not, please advise & I will gladly provide. Thank you for taking the time to address this. SheighZam ( talk) 07:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
OK, let me see how I can best approach this, because without others seeing the (impolite) comments he has left, it is challenging to circumvent the specific debate I am having with Drmies. I may need a moment to focus on this one.... SheighZam ( talk) 14:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Bobaphat dt small.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 05:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Boba Phat. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boba Phat (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:17, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I have removed your posting from the Requests For Undeletion page, as the article was discussed at Articles For Deletion before being removed - the correct place to contest that is therefore Deletion Review.

Thanks for uploading File:LAWeekly perennial fave cosplayer.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones (Talk) 00:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Kelapstick,
I do not understand why this image or any of the others you have added to the deletion list constitute pending deletion. All are photographs are sourced correctly and published in the public domain. I clarified this specifically in my rationale of each one please advise. Obviously the subject in question is Boba Phat as indicated not only by the original tagline themselves but also based on valid 3rd party news sources. These photos specifically refer to the character, thus meeting the criteria for GNG status (as a fictional character is technically not qualified as a BLP), and thus support Boba Phat's notability as a well-known cosplayer. Please clarify what you need in order for me to remove the potential deletion result.

Hi, I saw your comments on Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 October 19 and I think you might have misunderstood Kelapstick's rationale for deleting your images. First, backup the images on your computer and make sure you have copies. Next, peruse Wikipedia:Non-free content and become familiar with it. Then, head over to Wikipedia:Media copyright questions and start a discussion about your images. Understand that Kelapstick nominated your "non-free" images for deletion because you have already uploaded and used alternate images that meet the "free equivalent" criteria.

←Gotcha. So the story is, the photos that you took from the newspaper still can't be used, as the copyright is still the property of the newspaper, even if they are attributed they are still copyright and can't be used without justification, and since there are free images available we won't be able to make justification for their use. That's just the way things work here, we use free content when it is available, and if it is not possible to get free content, we might use fair use content. As far as the Jane Wiedlin one, if you took that than we can use it and just have to change the licencing. Also there are a couple of things to tweak on the image page (I modified it a bit). First, add the date it was taken into the date field I added, second change source to "self made", what they are looking at is where you got the image, not where you were when you took it (you can add the convention details in the descrioption field. Next add {{ GFDL-self}} underneath the template, that will add the GFDL licencing, and it will likely have Creative Commons 3.0 added to it later on too. This should work...If you want to upload more pictures that you took (in person), you can, but this time where you select licencing, pick the one with "recommended" in brackets. Hope this helps...Cheers. -- kelapstick ( talk) 23:20, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I have added this discussion to my talk page so that it may garner insight from others who have repeatedly observed your questioning the notability of the article's subject despite consensus to keep on AfD page as notability has been CLEARLY established - I have been nothing but polite to you Drmies, however you seem to keep attempting to discredit myself and a multitude of other editors, while making unwarranted changes to this article with what even you yourself refer to as "assumptions". I should not have to keep deliberating with you on minute details. Simply because I agree on one issue regarding external links you made DOES NOT constitute your continuous pecking away at the article in question.
Hi Drmies:
Thanks for your review.
You question the notability of Boba Phat, (and yes I have 3rd party links I can reference, albeit the links are nobody of significance, just some YouTube convention attendees referring to him as an A-List Cosplayer, which he is.)
EVERY single reference provided is ACCURATE and expresses his notability among common cosplayers alike as well as a multitude of celebrities. Additionally, this past week alone he was featured in 2 print publications - Long Beach Press Telegram as well as the Daily Titan, along side his numerous online media sources. He is recognized at EVERY Comic Con & Star Wars event. His links are NOT just FICKR, Facebook & YouTube - there are a myriad of first-rate news sources who additionally address him as notable, including the LA Times, LB Post, Long Beach Press Telegram, SeattlePI, Metromix, Casey Pugh (creator of Vimeo), The Daily Titan, The Craig Ferguson Show, + more.
Additionally, he has been interviewed & will be a feature in Lucasfilm's upcoming Star Wars fan movie, as well as is presently featured in a documentary called Crashing the Con which is available for purchase through Amazon. Boba Phat makes NO MONEY off of this; he was featured simply due to his notability as an underground icon. He is also scheduled to be featured in the next issue of Star Wars Insider as he was interviewed & photographed at the latest Long Beach Comic Con for the article due to his recognizability among the copsplayer scene. Every single reference cited will take you to a link expressing his notability. There should be no issue here whatsoever. As soon as that issue hits stands, it will be referenced here.
As far as his relationship to Miss Clit, the same person worked on both Wikis, and she is notable as well, perhaps to a lesser degree, but still worthy of publicity, as she attracts crowds to Blowfly shows. Headlining with the the original inventor of rap music & multiple award-winning artist, as well as being a fixture on several of his top albums should easily convey her notability as well.
If there is anything specific you require - links or photos of the print articles or what not, please advise & I will gladly provide. Thank you for taking the time to address this. SheighZam ( talk) 07:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
OK, let me see how I can best approach this, because without others seeing the (impolite) comments he has left, it is challenging to circumvent the specific debate I am having with Drmies. I may need a moment to focus on this one.... SheighZam ( talk) 14:13, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Bobaphat dt small.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 05:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Boba Phat. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boba Phat (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:17, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading this media, It would be appreciated if you could add :
As well as helping those categorising the image, it will help place the image in context and allow other users of the image (including academics) to make better use of the image :)

Hello. I have removed your posting from the Requests For Undeletion page, as the article was discussed at Articles For Deletion before being removed - the correct place to contest that is therefore Deletion Review. However, DRV can only discuss whether the discussion was closed properly, which it undoubtedly was. It is not another discussion about how notable the subject is.

Thanks for uploading File:LAWeekly perennial fave cosplayer.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones (Talk) 00:27, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
