I have no problem with the photo being removed, but I just want to learn, so could you tell me what was wrong with it so I don't repeat the mistake. Okheric ( talk) 14:28, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Since he didn't notify you of the discussion at WP:ANI, here it is. There's a lot more video stills and alternate covers where that lot came from, too. Black Kite ( talk) 00:45, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I just want to thank you for that warning and now I understand why you removed the image from the article Slow (song). I'm often being told by more experienced editors that a music video still in a music video section is often helpful in showing the reader the look of the main artist concerned. I would like to ask you if there is anyway I can upload a still for the article in a way which doesn't fail the policy? Do you think I can removed the "Balenciaga dress" part from the section text and instead move it into the image caption to tell the readers that Minogue wore a blue Balenciaga through a visual? Thanks! -- WonderBoy1998 ( talk) 14:10, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
Kindly read the descriptions of all of those file, go to their mentioned source and translated the page into English. Doing so you will be able to read the explicit permission of Free-Use granted by copyright holders of these photos. If there is a change of licensing type needed, you can point me to that, but kindly don't remove photos without discussing first. -- Thinking Mind 17:01, 2 August 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fasi100 ( talk • contribs)

Any reason you reverted my edits with the WWE Raw pics? They've been used for ages.-- Evil Yugi ( talk) 19:20, 2 August 2013 (UTC)
Given that two editors, myself and Cavarrone, warned you that another reversion would put you in violation of WP:3RR and the two of us plus KWW saying that these reversions are not exempt from WP:3RR since they are not unquestionably violating WP:NFCC due to the discussion above and the number of editors you reverted. This reversion at I Love Rock 'n' Roll , [1], where you reverted a third editor at that article and the fourth overall in your similar reversions, that while just outside the 24 hour time span by 43 minutes seems like an attempt to game the system so I reported you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Werieth reported by User:Aspects_.28Result:_.29 Please join the discussion if you want to add any information. Aspects ( talk) 01:20, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
I see from your contributions that are still removing non-fair use images from articles, thankfully not any relating to the discussion above, but I feel that your continued use of doing so and your editing behavior could end up with you being blocked.
Diannaa suggested that you start taking images that you think fail WP:NFCC to WP:FFD or taking the articles to WP:NFCR. This would especially be helpful in the situations where you are reverted. I will quote what Masem said above, "Removing such images boldly when you see them on articles for the first time is fine, but any subsequent re-reversions to remove them without gaining consensus is against edit warring policy." In these cases the images might not be unquestionably violating WP:NFCC and you could avoid being blocked for edit warring.
SuperHotWiki has posted two notices at WP:ANI about your editing behavior. Foetusized complained about your editing behavior. I complained about your editing behavior and one of my issues is still ongoing. You need to stop templating the regulars here and if you need to give them a message, you need to personalize it and fully explain why you feel your edit is correct. I also note that you template anyone who reverts you, which in a way feel like non-good faith edits to me. Someone disagrees with your interpretation of WP:NFCC and sometimes explains why they revert, and you suddenly jump on them with a template when all they did was revert your edit and keeping the article the way it previously was.
You need to stop reverting other editors and take other avenues instead of edit warring. Please at least follow Diannaa and Masem's advice and start taking these images to other venues if challenged on your interpretation of WP:NFCC policy. Aspects ( talk) 21:33, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Re File:AMTnewlogo.png, isn't “In addition to the fair-use assertion shown on this page, the copyright holder has granted permission for this image to be used in Wikipedia.” clear enough? Useddenim ( talk) 22:19, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
I see that you recently started editing some articles to reduce the number of fair use images in them, but I feel you are holding the images to a stricter standard than WP:NFCC currently enforces. Single covers in section infoboxes to represent notable cover versions pass all the points of WP:NFCC. They also pass the first example of acceptable use of fair images at WP:NFCI: "Cover art: Cover art from various items, for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary)." Each of the images that you removed that I then replaced were for identification in the context of critical commentary as to how the cover versions are notable cover versions. If these cover versions had been original songs, they would have their own articles and the images would be acceptable there, so they are acceptable in the sections.
A few notes on your editing/behavior. First, please WP:DTTR, in general you should use your own words to discuss with another editor the issue. Second, you should start using edit summaries for each of your edits, especially when you making a reversion, so other editors know why you are making your edit. Third, I would like to know if there is any particular reason why you reverted my recent edits to director navigational templates in film articles. From my perspective, it seems like you did not like my reversions to your image deletions and you figured you would revert a number of my edits not related to those image deletions. Since you did not use any edit summaries to explain these reversions, I am only left to speculate.
In summary, if you feel that WP:NFCC needs to be stricter in its enforcement, you need to start a discussion at the talk page to gain a consensus for such a change. Until that consensus is found, you should stop deleting single covers of notable cover versions. Aspects ( talk) 21:02, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Werieth, you know that I'm generally your ally on this one, but I really think you should go for discussion on this. The WP:NFCC cover for WP:3RR is not sufficiently clear in this case to give you much protection. I can assure you that I wouldn't unblock you on those grounds if another admin blocked you.— Kww( talk) 22:15, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Just a quick visit to let others know that I found Werieth's behavior in issuing warnings to others (including myself) that didn't agree with his interpretation of NFCC to be an issue. The proper interpretation of NFCC might be up for discussion (not that I'll be around for that), but Werieth's poor behavior is an issue that also needs to be dealt with, at least from where I sit. I cam close to blowing my top on Thursday, but instead just walked away. Now I'll go back to finding better things to do with my time online, resuming my break from Wikipedia. In the end, this project is only as good as the people that take part. Thanks -- Foetusized ( talk) 00:43, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
(in response to Werieth's edits to the 3RR noticeboard) I am replying here instead of the noticedboard because the issue there should be about the edit warring and rehashing the arguments listed here. Neither of the comments argue against the fact you are edit warring and tried to game the system to slightly not violate WP:3RR. The images do meet WP:NFCC and you are the one trying to change the policy, therefore you should be the one finding discussions backing up your interpretation and starting a discussion there. I find it humorous that we ask you to find something or start something and you just turn it back around on us. You did not link "multiple" discussions, you linked one review that was an edit and you linked one discussion that was not discussing what we are discussing here. I also like how you wrote "user" when you have reverted four different editors, some of which have dealt with WP:NFCC images longer than you have been editing let alone your newness to WP:NFCC images. If four different editors revert your edits, maybe the problem is with your reading of WP:NFCC and not everyone else's readings. Aspects ( talk) 02:05, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
I saw you removed soundtrack cover images from Halo 3: ODST and Tomb Raider (2013 video game), but I feel you are misreading the consensus at the RFC you are quoting. In these cases the images are acceptable because the soundtracks are different than the video game covers, are notable soundtracks, have critical commentary based on numerous reliable sources, could be split off from the main article and pass WP:GNG. This is the one situation the RfC found that film soundtrack cover images could be used in video game/film articles. I am not going to revert you because I do not want to get into any edit wars with you, but I see that you have already reverted ProtoDrake's reversion at Tomb Raider. Aspects ( talk) 21:23, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you.

Done. Im going to have to revert soon. Proudbolsahye ( talk) 00:47, 7 August 2013 (UTC)
You appear to have run a BOT that removed an unlicenced image from my Sandbox. I have no problem with that, I inadvertently copied it to my page when I was working on a piece of text. The BOT also made numerous other changes to my Sandbox. I don't care how many spelling errors I have in my sandbox, I will correct them in my own time - if I need your help, I will ask. If you are going to have BOTS looking for unlicenced images, they should do that and nothing more. Martinvl ( talk) 07:07, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
I'm not going to revert it again because frankly its not that important to me anymore to fight over Wikipedia's broken and disfunctional image rules (which is why I don't upload or work with them anymore). I also have a pretty low impression of the project these days so I'm not even editing outside of a few discussions. But I wanted to let you know that you did mess up the table by improperly removing those images. Go back and take a look at the rows with no image and you'll see a - where the image is missing. You need to put that in the images place if you are going to remove them from the table. Kumioko ( talk) 15:09, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Since you had archived the last discussion that was actually still ongoing, I thought that was a sign that you were going to stop edit warring if someone contested one of these image deletions and take the image to a discussion. I saw that you reverted at It's Raining Men after a fourth editor added the image back. Clearly, four different editors reverting you in one article, the length of the previous discussion with everyone telling you that you need to discuss these images if reverted and the disagreement regarding policy shows that these images need to be discussed. You need to stop edit warring to remove these images and start discussing them if needed individually at WP:FFD since they can be closed in a week if consensus is achieved as opposed to WP:NFR, since images there can sit without being closed for months or if you want to discuss the entire idea of notable cover single covers in song articles then you need to start a discussion at WP:NFCC. Aspects ( talk) 20:43, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
Since you were warned previously that these image removals are not exempt under WP:3RR and everyone in the previous discussion stating that if reverting you need to discuss the images This reversion at It's Raining Men , [3], where you reverted a fourth editor at that article, five reversions within five and a half fours and four reversions within a half hour shows you are edit warring here and I felt I had no choice but to report you again at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Werieth reported by User:Aspects_.28Result:_.29. Aspects ( talk) 21:31, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
[4] This removal is completely wrong. I'm the primary editor on this article, so I know what and what does not meet NFC, and all the images you deleted are the subject of discussion in the text (add to the fact this is a FA). From several other complaints, you are being far too aggressive on image removal. You need to use a lot more discretion in such image removals. -- MASEM ( t) 00:09, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I'm an employee of Wyscout, I've just noticed that you've just removed an image from the article "Wyscout".
I read that you did this because you the image is copyrighted, I talk in name of Wyscout, it's no problem to use that pic in the Wikipedia article; I can proof that I work for Wyscout and I talk in name of the company, let me know what parameter I have to change in the licence of the Wyscout Forum Summer 2013 Edition.jpg.

Where to start... I checked your contribs history. You created your account mid-2012 and you've been removing images non-stop since then, always linking to the same wiki rules page, acting like a religious freak trying to justify his actions by citing something from his holy book, regardless of the consequences. Auto-archiving/deleting his own Talk page is typical behavior from abusing contributors, as they have something to hide. Threatening messages on others talk pages following a revert is some form of cyberbullying. That is why I labeled you as a "known abusive user who hates images".
As for Vrak.TV, which is a french-canadian television channel with a history, and a name change. Let's be honest, you don't care about the content, the context, the location, you only care about non-free images put together netween "gallery" tags. So, you decided to flush the station's image identification history and are encyclopedic in this context, but you're probably not even able to tell apart because it's not your language neither your country or culture, you haven't bother reading a single line in the history section, you just went on with your bulldozer behavior, stating a Wiki rules page that you haven't bother fully reading : exceptions. Let me rephrase it to you: Why flush a station's image history ? And answer this : if the images were spread along in the article instead of together at the bottom of the article, would you have flush them as well ? Are we supposed to improve wikipedia ? Is what you are doing really improving wiki ? (I ain't reffering to the articles in subjects that interests you where you actually added content).
Therefor, you should read this : Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. InMontreal ( talk) 14:18, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

As I know quite evidently (lol) you know what you are talking about in regards to images and copyrights. I accept I was in the wrong about the Race and Soul image on the Nazi themes propaganda article and I now have to ask you about the image of the woman showing one of the youth the differences in Germans and Jews whether or not anyway this can be used in the article.
http://www.dhm.de/lemo/html/nazi/innenpolitik/rassenpolitik/ As you know it is copyrighted but where do I go to see if it can be used still in Wikipedia?
How do I go about resolving this?-- Andrew Dorsons ( talk) 19:49, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
The rationale for using this example is because this was one of the Nazis biggest things 'racial purity' and maintaining the 'German/Aryan blood', many books that are written by people who were members of the Hitler Youth or a child during Hitler's Germany often mention that when they were in schools the main thing was the differences between Germans and Jews. The education of Nazi Germany books also mention this and emphasize on it quite a lot - especially the Nordic Germans (ideal image) - for the maintaining of the Aryan race. The purpose of the image is quite clear, it shows that child being shown by a teacher the differences between Germans and Jews and the actual importance of this, it shows one that the Nazis went to great extents (mentioned in article) to actually teach the youth this and this picture shows the reader this. There is text that mentions that schools taught the differences between such of racial differences but the image actually shows the physical differences and will show the reader that the Nazis went to showing photographs of the Germans and what they all should be and what a person who they should all regard as parasites and subhumans (their words not mine) to avoid - the Jews.-- Andrew Dorsons ( talk) 20:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

If you want to discuss it let's do it here, I don't understand why you are so intent on removing those images?
Let's take some time out for a day or so & come back to it. I'm sure yr a reasonable guy & did the edit in good faith, & you left the pic of Flynn in school in, so it's not an issue of vandalism I see. I'm tied up on some work right now, so I'll come back to you & we can debate over it tomorrow & try to find a way around it, & I'll try to explain why I attached those images & hear yr side of it?
Right, I'm here now. Perhaps we can start with a few questions, as I'm somewhat confused as to yr editing decision here, & why you have taken such a fierce line on it?
Why did you leave in the pic of Flynn at school, & the still of 'Objective Burma', the marriage photo, the body arriving at the station & the grave, & how are the photos you removed different from those?
You rat, running around Wikipedia on a ridiculous power trip wrecking others' work with yr bullying pal on call when some1 stands up to you, because you have nothing to offer yourself. You were losing that debate & you knew it & couldn't take it. If yr under 14 fair enough u don't know any better, but if yr older ... get a life ffs =/ - Bardrick.
Please don't go over 3RR again even in the most obvious circumstances - let me know instead, it makes things much easier. Thanks, Black Kite ( talk) 11:00, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your message on my talk page. I am editing from work and am unable to log in to my account at work. I'm afraid I do not understand why this image is not used. If you click on the article that I uploaded it for ( Tring Brewery) you can see that the image is clearly used on that page. However File:Tring.jpg doesn't seem to acknowledge this for some reason, and I don;t understand why. If the image can't be used even on an article about the company represented in the image then so be it, but I don't understand why not. -- 194.80.135.203 ( talk) 15:41, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Werieth. Responding to your message on my talk, I would have thought it was pretty clear that the image was in use in the article We Are Reasonable People as per the file description! Maybe it was a bot error... I've reverted accordingly. Regards, Kaini ( talk) 17:17, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Look, I know what you're trying to do but popping off with "Please stop adding non-free files to that list." might seem a little harsh and could drive people away from this project. It also might come across that you're not assuming good faith in my editing. You see, most of ship images were of military or navy ships and I assumed that they were government photos taken of the vessels and not from their prior use in the private sector. I will say that once you notified me about certain images couldn't be used I found alternate versions where possible. At least two of those images, namely File:Clallam (steamship) .jpg and File:Dix (steamboat).jpeg, are most likely mistagged and should be in the public domain since the ships sunk in 1904 and 1907 respectively. So thanks for your concern and I'll try to be a little more cautious. Shinerunner (talk) 22:15, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Currently nominated for deletion. -- George Ho ( talk) 16:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Instead of deleting the pictures from the article wouldn't it be best to just tag them accordingly so the uploader can try to fix the issues rather than simply deleting them and slapping an orphan template on the file? Of course they are orphaned because you are the one who orphaned them!! Furthermore the points you made about the image failing points 1, 3 and 8 don't make any sense. Point #1 states that the file should have no free equivalent. The file specifically states "No free use image available" under replaceable twice under 2 different templates. Point #8 states that it should have contextual significance. It states on the upload under purpose "Illustration of a specific point within the article". This is to help readers see a representation of the particular series from a particular publisher to help readers understand the differences from the different series which all had various different publishers licensing the property. As for point #3b it states Minimal extent of use stating Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate should be used. One of the pictures you deleted had a low resolution image and the others simply need a reduction template if the pictures are consider too high resolution. Giantdevilfish ( talk) 16:20, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Regarding the List of Prime Ministers of Greece: It states that the "non-free images should be used judiciously to present the key visual aspects of the topic", which they are. They are a very main part of the visual aspects of the topic. It also states that "It is inadvisable to provide a non-free image for each entry in such an article or section", not that it is not allowed whatsoever. It is merely inadvisable, and given that the images improve the article greatly, I think we should keep them in. Kupraios ( talk) 20:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

I dont know why the photos File:Prizren 1943.jpg were removed but there are some people working on destroying wikipedia, and I dont have the time to stop them. Why dont you look at who removed them, I bet it was one of the radicals. James Michael DuPont ( talk) 00:04, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I am wondering why the screenshots for the Able2extract page are considered "excessive"? I think I kept it to a reasonable amount thus far (before they were deleted). Each screenshot was carefully chosen to illustrate only the major product features being described; not all of them. And I believe that each one added to the value of the article. I think it would benefit readers to visually see the product's functionality in action, or at least see the box cover of it. So if you can provide me with a link to Wikipedia's policy on the exact number of non-free images allowed in an article, I will adjust accordingly. Perhaps I may have missed it. I wasn't finished editing the article yet, so I can take that into consideration. Thanks TorBel80 ( talk) 18:04, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I see. Okay, I'll adjust and keep the number of non-free images down to that same level. I’m still getting the hang of Wikipedia, so that example helps. And yes, I am associated with them--just updated my talk page with an editing disclosure. Saw the page on Able2extract and it was only a stub orphan article, which wasn't too helpful in terms of information. So following the likes of Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat, yrying to provide the same kind of complete and informative overview. If you have any other feedback for the page, please do get in touch. I'll be adding the bare minimum of images back in to better comply with non-free file usage. Thank you for letting me know about this TorBel80 ( talk) 21:21, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

I see that you recently started editing some articles to reduce the number of fair use images in them, but I feel you are holding the images to a stricter standard than WP:NFCC currently enforces. Single covers in section infoboxes to represent notable cover versions pass all the points of WP:NFCC. They also pass the first example of acceptable use of fair images at WP:NFCI: "Cover art: Cover art from various items, for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary)." Each of the images that you removed that I then replaced were for identification in the context of critical commentary as to how the cover versions are notable cover versions. If these cover versions had been original songs, they would have their own articles and the images would be acceptable there, so they are acceptable in the sections.
A few notes on your editing/behavior. First, please WP:DTTR, in general you should use your own words to discuss with another editor the issue. Second, you should start using edit summaries for each of your edits, especially when you making a reversion, so other editors know why you are making your edit. Third, I would like to know if there is any particular reason why you reverted my recent edits to director navigational templates in film articles. From my perspective, it seems like you did not like my reversions to your image deletions and you figured you would revert a number of my edits not related to those image deletions. Since you did not use any edit summaries to explain these reversions, I am only left to speculate.
In summary, if you feel that WP:NFCC needs to be stricter in its enforcement, you need to start a discussion at the talk page to gain a consensus for such a change. Until that consensus is found, you should stop deleting single covers of notable cover versions. Aspects ( talk) 21:02, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Werieth, you know that I'm generally your ally on this one, but I really think you should go for discussion on this. The WP:NFCC cover for WP:3RR is not sufficiently clear in this case to give you much protection. I can assure you that I wouldn't unblock you on those grounds if another admin blocked you.— Kww( talk) 22:15, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
Just a quick visit to let others know that I found Werieth's behavior in issuing warnings to others (including myself) that didn't agree with his interpretation of NFCC to be an issue. The proper interpretation of NFCC might be up for discussion (not that I'll be around for that), but Werieth's poor behavior is an issue that also needs to be dealt with, at least from where I sit. I cam close to blowing my top on Thursday, but instead just walked away. Now I'll go back to finding better things to do with my time online, resuming my break from Wikipedia. In the end, this project is only as good as the people that take part. Thanks -- Foetusized ( talk) 00:43, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
(in response to Werieth's edits to the 3RR noticeboard) I am replying here instead of the noticedboard because the issue there should be about the edit warring and rehashing the arguments listed here. Neither of the comments argue against the fact you are edit warring and tried to game the system to slightly not violate WP:3RR. The images do meet WP:NFCC and you are the one trying to change the policy, therefore you should be the one finding discussions backing up your interpretation and starting a discussion there. I find it humorous that we ask you to find something or start something and you just turn it back around on us. You did not link "multiple" discussions, you linked one review that was an edit and you linked one discussion that was not discussing what we are discussing here. I also like how you wrote "user" when you have reverted four different editors, some of which have dealt with WP:NFCC images longer than you have been editing let alone your newness to WP:NFCC images. If four different editors revert your edits, maybe the problem is with your reading of WP:NFCC and not everyone else's readings. Aspects ( talk) 02:05, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
I saw you removed soundtrack cover images from Halo 3: ODST and Tomb Raider (2013 video game), but I feel you are misreading the consensus at the RFC you are quoting. In these cases the images are acceptable because the soundtracks are different than the video game covers, are notable soundtracks, have critical commentary based on numerous reliable sources, could be split off from the main article and pass WP:GNG. This is the one situation the RfC found that film soundtrack cover images could be used in video game/film articles. I am not going to revert you because I do not want to get into any edit wars with you, but I see that you have already reverted ProtoDrake's reversion at Tomb Raider.

You appear to have run a BOT that removed an unlicenced image from my Sandbox. I have no problem with that, I inadvertently copied it to my page when I was working on a piece of text. The BOT also made numerous other changes to my Sandbox. I don't care how many spelling errors I have in my sandbox, I will correct them in my own time - if I need your help, I will ask. If you are going to have BOTS looking for unlicenced images, they should do that and nothing more. Martinvl ( talk) 07:07, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
I'm not going to revert it again because frankly its not that important to me anymore to fight over Wikipedia's broken and disfunctional image rules (which is why I don't upload or work with them anymore). I also have a pretty low impression of the project these days so I'm not even editing outside of a few discussions. But I wanted to let you know that you did mess up the table by improperly removing those images. Go back and take a look at the rows with no image and you'll see a - where the image is missing. You need to put that in the images place if you are going to remove them from the table. Kumioko ( talk) 15:09, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Since you had archived the last discussion that was actually still ongoing, I thought that was a sign that you were going to stop edit warring if someone contested one of these image deletions and take the image to a discussion. I saw that you reverted at It's Raining Men after a fourth editor added the image back. Clearly, four different editors reverting you in one article, the length of the previous discussion with everyone telling you that you need to discuss these images if reverted and the disagreement regarding policy shows that these images need to be discussed. You need to stop edit warring to remove these images and start discussing them if needed individually at WP:FFD since they can be closed in a week if consensus is achieved as opposed to WP:NFR, since images there can sit without being closed for months or if you want to discuss the entire idea of notable cover single covers in song articles then you need to start a discussion at WP:NFCC. Aspects ( talk) 20:43, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
Since you were warned previously that these image removals are not exempt under WP:3RR and everyone in the previous discussion stating that if reverting you need to discuss the images This reversion at It's Raining Men , [3], where you reverted a fourth editor at that article, five reversions within five and a half fours and four reversions within a half hour shows you are edit warring here and I felt I had no choice but to report you again at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Werieth reported by User:Aspects_.28Result:_.29. Aspects ( talk) 21:31, 10 August 2013 (UTC)
[4] This removal is completely wrong. I'm the primary editor on this article, so I know what and what does not meet NFC, and all the images you deleted are the subject of discussion in the text (add to the fact this is a FA). From several other complaints, you are being far too aggressive on image removal. You need to use a lot more discretion in such image removals. -- MASEM ( t) 00:09, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I'm an employee of Wyscout, I've just noticed that you've just removed an image from the article "Wyscout".
I read that you did this because you the image is copyrighted, I talk in name of Wyscout, it's no problem to use that pic in the Wikipedia article; I can proof that I work for Wyscout and I talk in name of the company, let me know what parameter I have to change in the licence of the Wyscout Forum Summer 2013 Edition.jpg.

Where to start... I checked your contribs history. You created your account mid-2012 and you've been removing images non-stop since then, always linking to the same wiki rules page, acting like a religious freak trying to justify his actions by citing something from his holy book, regardless of the consequences. Auto-archiving/deleting his own Talk page is typical behavior from abusing contributors, as they have something to hide. Threatening messages on others talk pages following a revert is some form of cyberbullying. That is why I labeled you as a "known abusive user who hates images".
As for Vrak.TV, which is a french-canadian television channel with a history, and a name change. Let's be honest, you don't care about the content, the context, the location, you only care about non-free images put together netween "gallery" tags. So, you decided to flush the station's image identification history and are encyclopedic in this context, but you're probably not even able to tell apart because it's not your language neither your country or culture, you haven't bother reading a single line in the history section, you just went on with your bulldozer behavior, stating a Wiki rules page that you haven't bother fully reading : exceptions. Let me rephrase it to you: Why flush a station's image history ? And answer this : if the images were spread along in the article instead of together at the bottom of the article, would you have flush them as well ? Are we supposed to improve wikipedia ? Is what you are doing really improving wiki ? (I ain't reffering to the articles in subjects that interests you where you actually added content).
Therefor, you should read this : Wikipedia:Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. InMontreal ( talk) 14:18, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

As I know quite evidently (lol) you know what you are talking about in regards to images and copyrights. I accept I was in the wrong about the Race and Soul image on the Nazi themes propaganda article and I now have to ask you about the image of the woman showing one of the youth the differences in Germans and Jews whether or not anyway this can be used in the article.
http://www.dhm.de/lemo/html/nazi/innenpolitik/rassenpolitik/ As you know it is copyrighted but where do I go to see if it can be used still in Wikipedia?
How do I go about resolving this?-- Andrew Dorsons ( talk) 19:49, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
The rationale for using this example is because this was one of the Nazis biggest things 'racial purity' and maintaining the 'German/Aryan blood', many books that are written by people who were members of the Hitler Youth or a child during Hitler's Germany often mention that when they were in schools the main thing was the differences between Germans and Jews. The education of Nazi Germany books also mention this and emphasize on it quite a lot - especially the Nordic Germans (ideal image) - for the maintaining of the Aryan race. The purpose of the image is quite clear, it shows that child being shown by a teacher the differences between Germans and Jews and the actual importance of this, it shows one that the Nazis went to great extents (mentioned in article) to actually teach the youth this and this picture shows the reader this. There is text that mentions that schools taught the differences between such of racial differences but the image actually shows the physical differences and will show the reader that the Nazis went to showing photographs of the Germans and what they all should be and what a person who they should all regard as parasites and subhumans (their words not mine) to avoid - the Jews.-- Andrew Dorsons ( talk) 20:19, 21 August 2013 (UTC)

If you want to discuss it let's do it here, I don't understand why you are so intent on removing those images?
Let's take some time out for a day or so & come back to it. I'm sure yr a reasonable guy & did the edit in good faith, & you left the pic of Flynn in school in, so it's not an issue of vandalism I see. I'm tied up on some work right now, so I'll come back to you & we can debate over it tomorrow & try to find a way around it, & I'll try to explain why I attached those images & hear yr side of it?
Right, I'm here now. Perhaps we can start with a few questions, as I'm somewhat confused as to yr editing decision here, & why you have taken such a fierce line on it?
Why did you leave in the pic of Flynn at school, & the still of 'Objective Burma', the marriage photo, the body arriving at the station & the grave, & how are the photos you removed different from those?
You rat, running around Wikipedia on a ridiculous power trip wrecking others' work with yr bullying pal on call when some1 stands up to you, because you have nothing to offer yourself. You were losing that debate & you knew it & couldn't take it. If yr under 14 fair enough u don't know any better, but if yr older ... get a life ffs =/ - Bardrick.

Thank you for your message on my talk page. I am editing from work and am unable to log in to my account at work. I'm afraid I do not understand why this image is not used. If you click on the article that I uploaded it for ( Tring Brewery) you can see that the image is clearly used on that page. However File:Tring.jpg doesn't seem to acknowledge this for some reason, and I don;t understand why. If the image can't be used even on an article about the company represented in the image then so be it, but I don't understand why not. -- 194.80.135.203 ( talk) 15:41, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi, Werieth. Responding to your message on my talk, I would have thought it was pretty clear that the image was in use in the article We Are Reasonable People as per the file description! Maybe it was a bot error... I've reverted accordingly. Regards, Kaini ( talk) 17:17, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
Look, I know what you're trying to do but popping off with "Please stop adding non-free files to that list." might seem a little harsh and could drive people away from this project. It also might come across that you're not assuming good faith in my editing. You see, most of ship images were of military or navy ships and I assumed that they were government photos taken of the vessels and not from their prior use in the private sector. I will say that once you notified me about certain images couldn't be used I found alternate versions where possible. At least two of those images, namely File:Clallam (steamship) .jpg and File:Dix (steamboat).jpeg, are most likely mistagged and should be in the public domain since the ships sunk in 1904 and 1907 respectively. So thanks for your concern and I'll try to be a little more cautious. Shinerunner (talk) 22:15, 22 August 2013 (UTC)

Currently nominated for deletion. -- George Ho ( talk) 16:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
Instead of deleting the pictures from the article wouldn't it be best to just tag them accordingly so the uploader can try to fix the issues rather than simply deleting them and slapping an orphan template on the file? Of course they are orphaned because you are the one who orphaned them!! Furthermore the points you made about the image failing points 1, 3 and 8 don't make any sense. Point #1 states that the file should have no free equivalent. The file specifically states "No free use image available" under replaceable twice under 2 different templates. Point #8 states that it should have contextual significance. It states on the upload under purpose "Illustration of a specific point within the article". This is to help readers see a representation of the particular series from a particular publisher to help readers understand the differences from the different series which all had various different publishers licensing the property. As for point #3b it states Minimal extent of use stating Low- rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate should be used. One of the pictures you deleted had a low resolution image and the others simply need a reduction template if the pictures are consider too high resolution.

Regarding the List of Prime Ministers of Greece: It states that the "non-free images should be used judiciously to present the key visual aspects of the topic", which they are. They are a very main part of the visual aspects of the topic. It also states that "It is inadvisable to provide a non-free image for each entry in such an article or section", not that it is not allowed whatsoever. It is merely inadvisable, and given that the images improve the article greatly, I think we should keep them in. Kupraios ( talk) 20:17, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

I am wondering why the screenshots for the Able2extract page are considered "excessive"? I think I kept it to a reasonable amount thus far (before they were deleted). Each screenshot was carefully chosen to illustrate only the major product features being described; not all of them. And I believe that each one added to the value of the article. I think it would benefit readers to visually see the product's functionality in action, or at least see the box cover of it. So if you can provide me with a link to Wikipedia's policy on the exact number of non-free images allowed in an article, I will adjust accordingly. Perhaps I may have missed it. I wasn't finished editing the article yet, so I can take that into consideration. Thanks TorBel80 ( talk) 18:04, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
I see. Okay, I'll adjust and keep the number of non-free images down to that same level. I’m still getting the hang of Wikipedia, so that example helps. And yes, I am associated with them--just updated my talk page with an editing disclosure. Saw the page on Able2extract and it was only a stub orphan article, which wasn't too helpful in terms of information. So following the likes of Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat, yrying to provide the same kind of complete and informative overview. If you have any other feedback for the page, please do get in touch. I'll be adding the bare minimum of images back in to better comply with non-free file usage. Thank you for letting me know about this TorBel80 ( talk) 21:21, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
