In reference to your revert of the tag at this article. On 5 February, a user added the tag. The user was well aware that the addition of such tags results in the event not appearing in 'On this day...' on the Main Page, because he told another editor that on his Talk page. By the time I noticed that Waitangi Day was not appearing in 'On this day...' and complained and learned that the tag blocks such articles, Waitangi Day was nearly over but I removed the tag in an attempt to get Waitangi Day to appear. I'm forced to give the editor the benefit of the doubt, but the timing (one day before the event) and his knowledge that the tag blocks appearance, might indicate that he did it deliberately.

In answer to your question I did a Google image search before I reverted you, and there isn't a lot. At least that isn't owned by the BBC or some other outlet. That would suggest the chances of getting another one are very slim, and it's not like there are ever going to be any new ones. Have you checked yourself?

Sorry about the "ANI" thing. I am just worried about the orphaned image; I let my emotions get the best of me. I'll say this to make up to you. Per Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, English Wikipedia is governed by US laws, not any other. You can also read Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2015 November 10#File:Australian Aboriginal Flag.svg. In other words, En.wiki is not bound by UK or Australian law. Ask any admin or copyright expert. George Ho ( talk) 05:39, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
I have added back the image to the article since it is an acceptable fair use image of a deceased person. Per WP:BRD, after reverted the image should have gone to WP:FFD, especially since a disputed fair use was rejected and a previous FFD was closed as no consensus. Just because the process of finding a free image is ongoing does not mean that an acceptable fair use image of a deceased person should be removed because in this case the process has been going on for ten months and an orphaned fair use image gets deleted in one week.
I also have added back the image, File:Helen Rollason in approximately 1993.jpg, back to Helen Rollason as also being an acceptable fair use image of a deceased person that was removed, reverted by User:This is Paul, removed again, reverted by me and removed a third time. In this case, the person has been dead for seventeen years and the article became a good article with the image two years ago. Aspects ( talk) 16:40, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Your statement that nobody has attemtped to find a free image of Trisha Brown is incorrect. I did so myself extensively yesterday, and could nto find one. Since the image is properly rationaled, and the person is dead, your removal was out of process, so I restored it. If someone can find a free image of Brown and replace it, fine, but don't make the claim that no one tried. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 01:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.There has been a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:In_the_news/Recurring_items#Remove:_G20_summits vis-á-vis the removal of the G20 summit from the list of recurring items in the news at WP:ITNR. The idea spawned from its failure to reach ITN via WP:ITN/C this year. Currently, the proposal has six editors in favor and one strongly opposed. However, I fear the discussion may fall stale and force us through the ringer again on this topic. There has also been a proposed amendment to the ITNR format which seems to have gained traction.

It is not "systemic bias" to assume most people, regardless of nationality, know about New York City. New York City is one of the most prominent cities in the world and is quite obviously globally recognizable. It's ridiculous to dismiss that obvious fact as biased. "In [location] [event] happened in [location]" is just poor sentence structure. One location should be provided, be it "United States", "New York City", or "New York, United States". The latter would still be an unnecessary level of detail but the sentence would at least flow correctly. Swarm ♠ 22:21, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

You have deleted this photo from an obituary article. This file is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and allowed only under a claim of fair use per Wikipedia:Non-free content, because the man is deceased. As the source programme is still under copyright, and any similar image meeting the stated purpose would by necessity be derivative of the original programme, a free replacement cannot be provided. Question: What do you mean by: "rm NFU image, no evidence of sourcing another image". What policy are you using. And where is there an example of "evidence of sourcing another image"? I have done an extensive and diligent search for free images already, but proving that will be difficult. There are no free images on the net. His fame dates from the 1970's, so no fan club of note. He was known to be non-cooperative in the main with fans requests, and why should he since, he was largely out of work and had ongoing income problems. Indeed there are very few photos on the net at all, despite how well known a face he was in the UK. Only photos from 40 years ago are applicable here as his appearance changed dramatically from his heyday, (to the point of being unrecognisable I would say), and therefore useless for our purposes.

Dear Stephen, how are you? Don't you think it was a bit rash to close the nom for being stale when: a) her death was announced today with all of her obits covering her death today (Jan. 23), b) when Peter Wyngarde died I asked to move his nom. to two-three days back to be precise on his date of death, but a user (don't remember who) said it was fine as his death coverage was centered on the death date announced and c) Stanislav Petrov died in May 2017, but his nom was made in September 2017 (due to his death being announced on that date w/ obits covering that date) and he was still posted (no stale). I do understand the idea of her having a blurb is waaaayyyyy beyond being a longshot, but why not RD tag. Can it be reopened or can I re-nominate the article.

Logstash.With all due respect, I disagree with your comment on my ITN nomination. While the "deadline" for ratification has long since passed, there is a continued effort to ratify ERA. Congress extended the deadline previously and it is not inconceivable that this Congress, or any subsequent Congress, could choose to do the same, if a 38th state ratifies (which is the threshold for adoption into the U.S. Constitution). A common argument of opponents to ratification is just this, that the "deadline" passed 35 years ago, but the issue is still present and is significant.

Hello Stephen. I saw you semi-protected the talk page for the main page today. May I suggest you undo it? There are more than enough sets of eyes to revert problems quickly and I think if there's a page that should stay open to all, it's that one. There is nothing particularly unusual about the amount of weird and irrelevant stuff being posted right now. Thanks! Isa ( talk) 02:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

In reference to your revert of the tag at this article. On 5 February, a user added the tag. The user was well aware that the addition of such tags results in the event not appearing in 'On this day...' on the Main Page, because he told another editor that on his Talk page. By the time I noticed that Waitangi Day was not appearing in 'On this day...' and complained and learned that the tag blocks such articles, Waitangi Day was nearly over but I removed the tag in an attempt to get Waitangi Day to appear. I'm forced to give the editor the benefit of the doubt, but the timing (one day before the event) and his knowledge that the tag blocks appearance, might indicate that he did it deliberately.

In answer to your question I did a Google image search before I reverted you, and there isn't a lot. At least that isn't owned by the BBC or some other outlet. That would suggest the chances of getting another one are very slim, and it's not like there are ever going to be any new ones. Have you checked yourself?

Sorry about the "ANI" thing. I am just worried about the orphaned image; I let my emotions get the best of me. I'll say this to make up to you. Per Wikipedia:Non-U.S. copyrights, English Wikipedia is governed by US laws, not any other. You can also read Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2015 November 10#File:Australian Aboriginal Flag.svg. In other words, En.wiki is not bound by UK or Australian law. Ask any admin or copyright expert. George Ho ( talk) 05:39, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
I have added back the image to the article since it is an acceptable fair use image of a deceased person. Per WP:BRD, after reverted the image should have gone to WP:FFD, especially since a disputed fair use was rejected and a previous FFD was closed as no consensus. Just because the process of finding a free image is ongoing does not mean that an acceptable fair use image of a deceased person should be removed because in this case the process has been going on for ten months and an orphaned fair use image gets deleted in one week.
I also have added back the image, File:Helen Rollason in approximately 1993.jpg, back to Helen Rollason as also being an acceptable fair use image of a deceased person that was removed, reverted by User:This is Paul, removed again, reverted by me and removed a third time. In this case, the person has been dead for seventeen years and the article became a good article with the image two years ago. Aspects ( talk) 16:40, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Your statement that nobody has attemtped to find a free image of Trisha Brown is incorrect. I did so myself extensively yesterday, and could nto find one. Since the image is properly rationaled, and the person is dead, your removal was out of process, so I restored it. If someone can find a free image of Brown and replace it, fine, but don't make the claim that no one tried. Beyond My Ken ( talk) 01:58, 22 March 2017 (UTC)

Currently the search only finds pages that exactly match the search term.There has been a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:In_the_news/Recurring_items#Remove:_G20_summits vis-á-vis the removal of the G20 summit from the list of recurring items in the news at WP:ITNR. The idea spawned from its failure to reach ITN via WP:ITN/C this year. Currently, the proposal has six editors in favor and one strongly opposed. However, I fear the discussion may fall stale and force us through the ringer again on this topic. There has also been a proposed amendment to the ITNR format which seems to have gained traction.

It is not "systemic bias" to assume most people, regardless of nationality, know about New York City. New York City is one of the most prominent cities in the world and is quite obviously globally recognizable. It's ridiculous to dismiss that obvious fact as biased. "In [location] [event] happened in [location]" is just poor sentence structure. One location should be provided, be it "United States", "New York City", or "New York, United States". The latter would still be an unnecessary level of detail but the sentence would at least flow correctly. Swarm ♠ 22:21, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

You have deleted this photo from an obituary article. This file is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and allowed only under a claim of fair use per Wikipedia:Non-free content, because the man is deceased. As the source programme is still under copyright, and any similar image meeting the stated purpose would by necessity be derivative of the original programme, a free replacement cannot be provided. Question: What do you mean by: "rm NFU image, no evidence of sourcing another image". What policy are you using. And where is there an example of "evidence of sourcing another image"? I have done an extensive and diligent search for free images already, but proving that will be difficult. There are no free images on the net. His fame dates from the 1970's, so no fan club of note. He was known to be non-cooperative in the main with fans requests, and why should he since, he was largely out of work and had ongoing income problems. Indeed there are very few photos on the net at all, despite how well known a face he was in the UK. Only photos from 40 years ago are applicable here as his appearance changed dramatically from his heyday, (to the point of being unrecognisable I would say), and therefore useless for our purposes.

Dear Stephen, how are you? Don't you think it was a bit rash to close the nom for being stale when: a) her death was announced today with all of her obits covering her death today (Jan. 23), b) when Peter Wyngarde died I asked to move his nom. to two-three days back to be precise on his date of death, but a user (don't remember who) said it was fine as his death coverage was centered on the death date announced and c) Stanislav Petrov died in May 2017, but his nom was made in September 2017 (due to his death being announced on that date w/ obits covering that date) and he was still posted (no stale). I do understand the idea of her having a blurb is waaaayyyyy beyond being a longshot, but why not RD tag. Can it be reopened or can I re-nominate the article.

Logstash.With all due respect, I disagree with your comment on my ITN nomination. While the "deadline" for ratification has long since passed, there is a continued effort to ratify ERA. Congress extended the deadline previously and it is not inconceivable that this Congress, or any subsequent Congress, could choose to do the same, if a 38th state ratifies (which is the threshold for adoption into the U.S. Constitution). A common argument of opponents to ratification is just this, that the "deadline" passed 35 years ago, but the issue is still present and is significant.

I've asked you how to fix the renaming of the wikipedia entry on the wp:errors page, where I pinged you as the person originally renaming the entry on the main page. I never know if pings work, so I thought I'd better mention it here. There, if you could just show me how to fix it, I would appreciate it. Here, if you're willing, I'd like to ask why you deemed this change necessary/desirable in the first place? Thanks for your help. — 🍣 SashiRolls t · c 15:50, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
Could you tell me why you are edit-warring to remove this image from 2018 Strasbourg attack ( [11], [12], [13]) instead of (if you believe it fails WP:NFCC) seeking its deletion at WP:FfD, as would be proper? Note that there is no consensus against its inclusion at Talk:2018 Strasbourg attack#Photo of Chérif Chekatt. Regards, Sandstein 22:04, 15 December 2018 (UTC)

Hello Stephen. I saw you semi-protected the talk page for the main page today. May I suggest you undo it? There are more than enough sets of eyes to revert problems quickly and I think if there's a page that should stay open to all, it's that one. There is nothing particularly unusual about the amount of weird and irrelevant stuff being posted right now. Thanks! Isa ( talk) 02:56, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
