Hi YFB,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Second Severn Crossing pano 2 s.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on July 8, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-07-08. howcheng { chat} 19:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I have seen that you have brought up discussions about image license on wikipedia. To me this is a very important issue that stops me from uploading images to wikipedia. I have many good images that I would like to upload but many of those I do not feel like release. I would like to allow my images to be used on wikipedia but not for any commercial use. How is this discussion going? -- Krm500 19:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. A Featured Picture Candidate you commented on, Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Killer whale mother and calf, is now in the section for "Older nominations requiring additional input from voters." Contributors have tried to improve it after you commented, and your opinion is welcome as to which, if any, of the available versions deserves promotion. I am sending this message to everyone who participated in the FPC. Thanks! Kla'quot 06:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing that on my talk page. For some reason I can read TCP/IP packets and program in perl first thing in the morning, but I have trouble with simple postings. You are doing a great job as my personal mistake corrector. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 16:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
With all due respect, you may be correct, but NO ONE wants to see a picture of the "Burka Princess" at port. Your edit removed my picture, which was much, much more RELEVANT to the story - a photo of the M/S Sea Diamond travelling through Santorini.
Well, I was in the boat of, I don't want to accuse of a 3RR violation without any kind of IP trace to back it up, but I want to justify it as a rvv if it becomes relevant. And it's possible that it was a truly anonymous editor previously uninvolved changing it back...but I didn't think it likely. Anyway, thank you for making the report! — C.Fred ( talk) 02:04, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Just thought I would thank you for your support on this image. I had no idea that it would give rise to so much discussion on the part of fellow wikipedians! -- New t on2 12:05, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for leaving the message. I don't really know how it could be as the image is somehow got into my 'personal photo' collection. Thanks for letting me know about this and as a precaution, I think it should be deleted immediately. It was my mistake and I do strongly apologise for this. What deletion tag would be the best to use for this situation? Could you please help me get this off as soon as possible as I do not want to get myself in trouble. Additionally, I will read over the Wikipedia image guidelines. Many thanks, Extranet ( Talk | Contribs) 00:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

While I understand your disagreement with the joke (which I find funny still), I do not agree with your edit summary (which seems to impy that you can delete content merely because you find it unfunny) and your assertions in the post to my talk page that this is some sort of violation of WP:AGF, when in fact, I find your reversion against my express wishes perilously close to that same policy. Regardless, I seem to remember a community debate about this (I can't find the link, but I believe it is in the vast WP:AN/I archives) where it was decided that, while discouraged, the joke should not be deleted off other user's pages. Because of these reasons, I have reverted you, but will not revert you a second time if you revert my revert -- instead I'll take it to whatever the appropriate forum is. Silas Snider (talk) 23:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chairboy, regarding this, I wonder if you might take another look? I didn't provide a link in any of the templates because I couldn't get it to work, it just stayed as "unquestionably a copyvio of {{{URL}}}". The uploader has provided the URL from which the image was taken and there is no assertion of ownership or permission. The link is still on the image page and was directly underneath the template, so I didn't feel it necessary to spend time playing about trying to get the template to work. Could you go back and see what I mean? -- YFB ¿ 14:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Happy editing, -- YFB ¿ 20:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, sorry about that. So what was inappropriete about that other post? My guess is that it was asking a personal question, which is also proprobly not in accordance with the privacy policy.

YFB,
You are, of course, completely right. I'll go through and notify the uploader and/or creator of the images I've nominated for delisting. I've done it before (e.g. here) but not always. I shall endeavour to do it more consistently, starting with the photos currently up for delisting.
Also, I must say that your comment on my userpage was the most polite and kind thing I've seen in a while, therefore....

Ah yes. that one. The existance of the other photo that is basically exactly the same is my reason. The same goes for this (it's double here) and this (it's double here). But, as you say, it (and the others) are still very good photos and I'll never actually nominate them. I nevertheless think that they fail criteria 3 (Is among Wikipedia's best work) becuase of the existance of the other. I'm aware that this is an idiosyncratic view.
Regarding the size/resolution thing, there are many photos there that are just so damn small (e.g. this, this or this) that they would not be given the time of day now. I'm frankly surprised that once promoted the burden of proof for remining an FP is on the reasons-against, rather that the reasons-for. If a photo cannot justify why it should be an FP it should be removed. Instead, they having to prove that it shouldn't be removed.
Now that I think of it, I realise that I'm quite hard line in all this. How interesting.... I wouldn't have considered myself "hardline" in anything Wikiwise until now. Witty Lama 00:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually..I believe its a hindrance getting through the Rfa and not his overall contribution. I didn't oppose him because I know he is a good contributor but I usually support people with more than 1000 mainspace edits only because that means that the person is very familiar with the main policy of Wikipedia which is contribution and even though his mainspace edits is way below my expectation, I'm still supporting him because as I mentioned above, he is a good contributor overall and that should never be overlooked..Cheers.. -- Comet styles 00:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello Yummifruitbat. I noticed your oppose on Magnus animum's RFA, which is perfectly valid. I also shared your concerns for some time, but I now believe that he's ready for the extra responsibilities (otherwise I wouldn't have nominated him). I enforced a self-probation on him, as you can read in my nom. He'll be open to recall for at least 3 months after promotion, and will have to submit to a recall if any 3 users ask him to. This way I feel secure that if any of your concerns become true, then it's easy to undo his promotion. But I think that there's no harm in giving him a chance . After all, he worked hard for this. And honestly, I doubt that he'll be asked to step down. :-) Best regards, Hús ö nd 02:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Do you recall this discussion arguing the case for bigger thumbnails? You started something at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) with a really good summary of the discussion at that point and it seems to have disappeared. Any idea where it went? I ask because one of the contributors to the debate has announced a new portrait-format markup for thumbs which – you guessed it! – reduces the thumb height to match the size of the current horizontal dimensions. I think it's an appropriate juncture to re-ignite the original discussion, and that WP:VPR summary would be a handy reference. Cheers for now! mikaul talk 10:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello there :-) Well, I'm posting to your talk page with the heador "Favor?", so you know it can't be good news XD As if I haven't already given you enough to do, I wondered if you could help me out with a little translation from German. We're working on Subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is a German FA with a lot of great pictures ( de:Subarachnoidalblutung). I wondered if you could help translate the captions, so I'm not misrepresenting the images. The ones I especially need are de:Bild:SabCT comment.png / de:SabCT.JPG and de:Bild:SabAngio Comment.png / de:Bild:SabAngio.JPG (so it's really only 2 captions). I know you're on semi-wikibreak, have a bunch of real life stuff and a bunch of wikistuff, no hurry at all. If you can't do it, can you suggest someone who might be willing to?

With all due respect, you may be correct, but NO ONE wants to see a picture of the "Burka Princess" at port. Your edit removed my picture, which was much, much more RELEVANT to the story - a photo of the M/S Sea Diamond travelling through Santorini.
Well, I was in the boat of, I don't want to accuse of a 3RR violation without any kind of IP trace to back it up, but I want to justify it as a rvv if it becomes relevant.

Thanks for letting me know about this and as a precaution, I think it should be deleted immediately. It was my mistake and I do strongly apologise for this. What deletion tag would be the best to use for this situation? Could you please help me get this off as soon as possible as I do not want to get myself in trouble. Additionally, I will read over the Wikipedia image guidelines. Many thanks, Extranet ( Talk | Contribs) 00:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

While I understand your disagreement with the joke (which I find funny still), I do not agree with your edit summary (which seems to impy that you can delete content merely because you find it unfunny) and your assertions in the post to my talk page that this is some sort of violation of WP:AGF, when in fact, I find your reversion against my express wishes perilously close to that same policy. Regardless, I seem to remember a community debate about this (I can't find the link, but I believe it is in the vast WP:AN/I archives) where it was decided that, while discouraged, the joke should not be deleted off other user's pages. Because of these reasons, I have reverted you, but will not revert you a second time if you revert my revert -- instead I'll take it to whatever the appropriate forum is. Silas Snider (talk) 23:41, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chairboy, regarding this, I wonder if you might take another look? I didn't provide a link in any of the templates because I couldn't get it to work, it just stayed as "unquestionably a copyvio of {{{URL}}}". The uploader has provided the URL from which the image was taken and there is no assertion of ownership or permission. The link is still on the image page and was directly underneath the template, so I didn't feel it necessary to spend time playing about trying to get the template to work. Could you go back and see what I mean? -- YFB ¿ 14:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
When you speedy-delete-tagged Image:Garth Mountain 2.jpg for copyvio, you did not say which image in the WWW it is a copy of. Anthony Appleyard 08:37, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

The post that Ehthap made did look inappropriete, most likely spam, but I wasn't sure. I left a message about signing your posts, but I don't know the appropriete notice for the inappropriete message left on Durova's talk page. Could you possibly do this? Once aquatined with Wikipedia, I don't doubt that Ehtap will be able to become a leginamate user, as we all make mistakes.-- U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A.

I think your note on his talk page is appropriate and probably all that's needed at present - his post on Durova's talk page wasn't really spam, just a bit odd. Happy editing, -- YFB ¿ 20:47, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, sorry about that. So what was inappropriete about that other post? My guess is that it was asking a personal question, which is also proprobly not in accordance with the privacy policy. Whatever it is, I ask if you can leave User:User55505 a message about it.-- U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 20:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh dear, stop where ever you're at. It's User:User55505, not User:55505. Tricked me. I guess that's why User:User was considered an inappropriete username.-- U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 21:06, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
YFB,
You are, of course, completely right. I'll go through and notify the uploader and/or creator of the images I've nominated for delisting. I've done it before (e.g. here) but not always. I shall endeavour to do it more consistently, starting with the photos currently up for delisting.
Also, I must say that your comment on my userpage was the most polite and kind thing I've seen in a while, therefore....

Ah yes. that one. The existance of the other photo that is basically exactly the same is my reason. The same goes for this (it's double here) and this (it's double here). But, as you say, it (and the others) are still very good photos and I'll never actually nominate them. I nevertheless think that they fail criteria 3 (Is among Wikipedia's best work) becuase of the existance of the other. I'm aware that this is an idiosyncratic view.
Regarding the size/resolution thing, there are many photos there that are just so damn small (e.g. this, this or this) that they would not be given the time of day now. I'm frankly surprised that once promoted the burden of proof for remining an FP is on the reasons-against, rather that the reasons-for. If a photo cannot justify why it should be an FP it should be removed. Instead, they having to prove that it shouldn't be removed.
Now that I think of it, I realise that I'm quite hard line in all this. How interesting.... I wouldn't have considered myself "hardline" in anything Wikiwise until now. Witty Lama 00:52, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I did not know what chromatic abberation was until you said! However once I knew I noticed the purple fringing, particularly on the right of the photo. This is probably due to the camera being zoomed in to its maximum (10x), and from my other photos I can see that my camera is hopefully alright. Thanks a lot for your help! It was much appreciated.

Thanks for the IDs. I finally got a photo of the little devil from the same bank today - afloat; in the reeds. Quite an impressive beak...

Actually..I believe its a hindrance getting through the Rfa and not his overall contribution. I didn't oppose him because I know he is a good contributor but I usually support people with more than 1000 mainspace edits only because that means that the person is very familiar with the main policy of Wikipedia which is contribution and even though his mainspace edits is way below my expectation, I'm still supporting him because as I mentioned above, he is a good contributor overall and that should never be overlooked..Cheers.. -- Comet styles 00:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
The editorial on my question isn't really helpful. I asked for external input on a statement that appeared threatening, I think your characterization of my post isn't terribly fair. Would you mind re-phrasing the closing text? Thanks! - CHAIRBOY ( ☎) 03:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello Yummifruitbat. I noticed your oppose on Magnus animum's RFA, which is perfectly valid. I also shared your concerns for some time, but I now believe that he's ready for the extra responsibilities (otherwise I wouldn't have nominated him). I enforced a self-probation on him, as you can read in my nom. He'll be open to recall for at least 3 months after promotion, and will have to submit to a recall if any 3 users ask him to. This way I feel secure that if any of your concerns become true, then it's easy to undo his promotion. But I think that there's no harm in giving him a chance . After all, he worked hard for this. And honestly, I doubt that he'll be asked to step down. :-) Best regards, Hús ö nd 02:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
It looks like my Request for Admin has closed successfully at (58/8/2). Your support and gentle push to accept the nomination are things I'm very grateful for.

Hi! Do you recall this discussion arguing the case for bigger thumbnails? You started something at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals) with a really good summary of the discussion at that point and it seems to have disappeared. Any idea where it went? I ask because one of the contributors to the debate has announced a new portrait-format markup for thumbs which – you guessed it! – reduces the thumb height to match the size of the current horizontal dimensions. I think it's an appropriate juncture to re-ignite the original discussion, and that WP:VPR summary would be a handy reference. Cheers for now! mikaul talk 10:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello there :-) Well, I'm posting to your talk page with the heador "Favor?", so you know it can't be good news XD As if I haven't already given you enough to do, I wondered if you could help me out with a little translation from German. We're working on Subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is a German FA with a lot of great pictures ( de:Subarachnoidalblutung). I wondered if you could help translate the captions, so I'm not misrepresenting the images. The ones I especially need are de:Bild:SabCT comment.png / de:SabCT.JPG and de:Bild:SabAngio Comment.png / de:Bild:SabAngio.JPG (so it's really only 2 captions). I know you're on semi-wikibreak, have a bunch of real life stuff and a bunch of wikistuff, no hurry at all. If you can't do it, can you suggest someone who might be willing to?
By the way, I replied to your note on my talk page there, didn't know if you saw it.
