Could you put Nao Bustamante's page back up, or should I just start a new one? I went looking for it as I teach her work (am a professor at UC Riverside, and write about the artist - and sometimes edit pages of artists I research - so that my students are at least getting accurate information). I've organized a handful of others to work on this with me. But it'd be easier, probably to edit the old page than to create a new one. I haven't seen the old one so I'm not sure what the best path is.
Please advise.
Thank you,

So, yes, I would like a sandbox version. I haven't edited on wikip for a few years, seems like processes have changed (esp talk page). I think it was kindof a shame that the page was just taken down: but it sounds like no one was paying attention to it. If I can access a sandbox, can I edit it? Or should I just start over. I didn't want to start over if what I started was going to be subject to deletion. I want to get something minimal up there - a stub sort of thing - so that others can contribute & edit.

Hi Skier Dude,
I noticed you have deleted an image I've uploaded on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleg_Bakhtiyarov I took this image from Oleg Bakhtiyarov's official web site where he is references as one of the lecturers: http://www.university.kiev.ua/person Here is the image link: http://www.university.kiev.ua/sites/default/files/person/olegb.jpg I considered this is a valid "fair use" scenario, since it is like a "company promoting their services in public domain" (I saw that description somewhere in Wikipedia HOWTO).
Could you please guide me into what I need to do to publish this image correctly? I am new to Wikipedia editing and these legal issues are very cryptic to me.

Greetings Skier Dude-
My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of the bot community and bot operator, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 45-60 minutes.
My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.

Hey Skier Dude, I'm somewhat new to wikipedia and have been having some trouble. I uploaded File:Americanwarmewmrev.tif to use for an article I am writing for the non-profit. There is no copyright on the logo, so I don't understand how this could be removed for copyright infringement. Secondly, I am an intern with this non-profit and as I stated in the pictures description, we own the picture and give anyone else the right to use it, and if they wish, we would like them to mention our website when doing so. Perhaps I have the wrong tag for the picture.
There is no copyright on the picture so there is no copyright infringement. As the owner of this picture I give wikipedia and anyone else the right to use it. Please restore this picture to working order, or tell me how to make this right.

Hello Skier Dude,
thanks for leaving a message for the image I uploaded. Since I am new to Wikipedia, I don't know what to do about it. The screenshot is certainly free to use, I did them myself and there is nothing copyrighted from my side. So if I have chosen a wrong license or missed something, I am not sure how to correct that, so can you make the neccessary corrections, so it is clear that the screenshot can be used anywhere?

Dear Skier Dude,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Hi Skier Dude,
I work for the database company Citrusleaf, and we just noticed that our page (and all of the references to us in Wikipedia) have been deleted. The deletion notes say that the page pointed to non-existant content - I don't know what those links might have been, but we're more than willing to fix them up. We're a growing startup, and it's sort of painful right now to see that all of our competitors have Wikipedia pages when ours has been taken down.

Hi,
My name is Toni Roberts. I work for McPherson, Inc. We have a Wikipedia entry and also a website of our own ( mcphersoninc.com ) We reused a couple of our own images from our website on the Wikipedia entry.
I was asked to fix the Wikipedia entry, but I have zero experience at this and it was difficult to figure out the coding and the image permissions and then you go and delete my work the very next day! I didn't even get the seven days allowed by Wikipedia. That's unfair.
I assure you, I am sitting in the McPherson facility. I can go around the corner and see the instruments or look at posters made of the images we had on this site. We ARE the owners of these images. They were shot with camaras by McPherson personnell. So of course we can give ourselves permission to use these photos both here and on our website.
If you have an objection, please explain it and tell me what more I can do...bearing in mind I don't even know how to get back to the images page to change the permissions or to replace the coding (it took me a LONG time to figure out how to do what little I did!)
Thank you in advance and have a great day.

I see that you deleted Medicine Tour under a tag of G7, but I do not feel that this redirect as a result of a page move was a proper deletion because the author was not the only one to add substantial content to the article either before or after the page move.

I see you were adding listas to talk articles today. Could I ask you to refrain from fixing any more. It's not that you are doing anything wrong. I'm getting to them, but I also add work-group, other banners, Persondata, Defaultsort, fix any cleanups. So, you are doing redundant work at the moment.
I and another editor got Category:Biography articles without listas parameter down from 65,000 to 0. I do look at all new living biographies every day plus any articles without listas showing up in the category. I took a break for two weeks in December... 3,000 new living articles plus 3,000 new dead articles (all from New Zealand) showed up, so it is taking me some time to clear out the category again.

Please reconsider restoring the actual 2-D image for the State of Hawaii seal or providing additional images officially used on coins, medals, etc.... They provide the vibrancy that 1-D can never achieve.

Hi Skier Dude,
Thanks for replying to my query re deletion of the above pic.
I note you say I need to produce the original source photo from which I made the collage. I still have the original photo in my possession - it is not a professional photo but was taken for me by a friend using my camera. All I have done is create a collage of head shots using Corel Photobook.
I am happy to upload the original photo but fear it might be deleted for the same reason as my collage was. I will be very grateful if you can find a few minutes to advise me what to do.
Many thanks for your help.

Could you put Nao Bustamante's page back up, or should I just start a new one? I went looking for it as I teach her work (am a professor at UC Riverside, and write about the artist - and sometimes edit pages of artists I research - so that my students are at least getting accurate information). I've organized a handful of others to work on this with me. But it'd be easier, probably to edit the old page than to create a new one. I haven't seen the old one so I'm not sure what the best path is.
Please advise.
Thank you,

So, yes, I would like a sandbox version. I haven't edited on wikip for a few years, seems like processes have changed (esp talk page). I think it was kindof a shame that the page was just taken down: but it sounds like no one was paying attention to it. If I can access a sandbox, can I edit it? Or should I just start over. I didn't want to start over if what I started was going to be subject to deletion. I want to get something minimal up there - a stub sort of thing - so that others can contribute & edit.

My name is Randall Livingstone, and I am a graduate student at the University of Oregon, currently collecting data for my dissertation on Wikipedia editors who create and use bots and assisted editing tools, as well as editors involved in the initial and/or ongoing creation of bot policies on Wikipedia. As a member of the bot community and bot operator, I would very much like to interview you for the project at a time and in a method that is most convenient for you (Gchat, another IM client, Skype, email, telephone, etc.). I am completely flexible and can work with your schedule. The interview will take approximately 45-60 minutes.
My dissertation project has been approved both by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at the University of Oregon, and by the Research Committee at the Wikimedia Foundation. You can find more information on the project on my meta page.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to hearing from you to set up a time to chat. Thank you very much.

Hey Skier Dude, I'm somewhat new to wikipedia and have been having some trouble. I uploaded File:Americanwarmewmrev.tif to use for an article I am writing for the non-profit. There is no copyright on the logo, so I don't understand how this could be removed for copyright infringement. Secondly, I am an intern with this non-profit and as I stated in the pictures description, we own the picture and give anyone else the right to use it, and if they wish, we would like them to mention our website when doing so. Perhaps I have the wrong tag for the picture.
There is no copyright on the picture so there is no copyright infringement. As the owner of this picture I give wikipedia and anyone else the right to use it. Please restore this picture to working order, or tell me how to make this right.

Hello Skier Dude,
thanks for leaving a message for the image I uploaded. Since I am new to Wikipedia, I don't know what to do about it. The screenshot is certainly free to use, I did them myself and there is nothing copyrighted from my side. So if I have chosen a wrong license or missed something, I am not sure how to correct that, so can you make the neccessary corrections, so it is clear that the screenshot can be used anywhere?

Dear Skier Dude,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name
HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Hi Skier Dude,
I work for the database company Citrusleaf, and we just noticed that our page (and all of the references to us in Wikipedia) have been deleted. The deletion notes say that the page pointed to non-existant content - I don't know what those links might have been, but we're more than willing to fix them up. We're a growing startup, and it's sort of painful right now to see that all of our competitors have Wikipedia pages when ours has been taken down.

Hi,
My name is Toni Roberts. I work for McPherson, Inc. We have a Wikipedia entry and also a website of our own ( mcphersoninc.com ) We reused a couple of our own images from our website on the Wikipedia entry.
I was asked to fix the Wikipedia entry, but I have zero experience at this and it was difficult to figure out the coding and the image permissions and then you go and delete my work the very next day! I didn't even get the seven days allowed by Wikipedia. That's unfair.
I assure you, I am sitting in the McPherson facility. I can go around the corner and see the instruments or look at posters made of the images we had on this site. We ARE the owners of these images. They were shot with camaras by McPherson personnell. So of course we can give ourselves permission to use these photos both here and on our website.
If you have an objection, please explain it and tell me what more I can do...bearing in mind I don't even know how to get back to the images page to change the permissions or to replace the coding (it took me a LONG time to figure out how to do what little I did!)
Thank you in advance and have a great day.

I see you were adding listas to talk articles today. Could I ask you to refrain from fixing any more. It's not that you are doing anything wrong. I'm getting to them, but I also add work-group, other banners, Persondata, Defaultsort, fix any cleanups. So, you are doing redundant work at the moment.
I and another editor got Category:Biography articles without listas parameter down from 65,000 to 0. I do look at all new living biographies every day plus any articles without listas showing up in the category. I took a break for two weeks in December... 3,000 new living articles plus 3,000 new dead articles (all from New Zealand) showed up, so it is taking me some time to clear out the category again.

Please reconsider restoring the actual 2-D image for the State of Hawaii seal or providing additional images officially used on coins, medals, etc.... They provide the vibrancy that 1-D can never achieve.

This image is corrupted and so non-usable. I would delete it myself but, being new to Wikipedia, I have not yet figured out how to do this. Thanks for your help. Neil Fairhead 16:13, 26 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neil Fairhead ( talk • contribs)
Hey Skier Dude,
I see you tagged the Konica logo I replaced for deletion. I actually have a couple other pics that I replaced today that I need to get deleted as well. I have them tagged for speedy deletion, but they've been up for hours. One of them (the Minolta logo) I uploaded both versions of, so I really don't see why it would be a problem. It's located here. The other is the logo for Reprise Records. I replaced the jpeg with an svg, but the jpeg is still hanging around. It's here if you would like to take a look. Thanks!

Hello. I wasn't following but noticed that just today the photo " File:Gazzo1.jpg" was deleted and no longer shows in the Jane Gazzo article in Wikipedia. Didn't User:Satchett assert in 2008 when it was up for deletion that they owned copyright to it? Just a thought. Best wishes. --- (Bob) Wikiklrsc ( talk) 20:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi Skier Dude,
Thanks for replying to my query re deletion of the above pic.
I note you say I need to produce the original source photo from which I made the collage. I still have the original photo in my possession - it is not a professional photo but was taken for me by a friend using my camera. All I have done is create a collage of head shots using Corel Photobook.
I am happy to upload the original photo but fear it might be deleted for the same reason as my collage was. I will be very grateful if you can find a few minutes to advise me what to do.
Many thanks for your help.
