What? Can I please get an explanation, in English please, for why you think I have violated my own copyright? All the pages you point to indicate that you think I've stolen my image from someone else. I took this picture myself with my own camera on my own time. It is not a copyright violation, and as best I can tell, I followed all of wikipedia's rules for attribution and licensing.
I have been in tears for days now because of the harrassment, hassling, and pestering that busybodies have subjected me to and I'm tired of it! Tell me, in English, how to fix it or LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!! Fryede ( talk) 16:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

.Quick question, as I've been going through reviewing the stuff that slipped by User:DrilBot. If a user claims PD (and it looks legitimate), but the photo also contains the GDFL tag, is the proper solution to remove GDFL altogether and leave it as PD-user? This would mean PD supersedes GDFL+CC. Is this right? -- RabidDeity ( talk) 01:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Just a note to say how much I like the DRAMA page in the Signpost, particularly with the addition of the {{ new item}} template. It's important to get sufficient editor opinions on discussions, as well as to avoid editors feeling that things are decided without adequate publicity; this page really helps with both of those issues. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 13:36, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Would it be OK if I removed the underconstruction tag on Going Commando? It isn't really being edited anymore. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 20:56, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Drilnoth. It's certainly an interesting task. I have at least 3700 articles left to look at and probably 900-1000 images that are virtual duplicates....both of which will keep me occupied for quite a while. All the best - Peripitus (Talk) 22:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
AWB listing of what links to {{ extra album cover 2}} -> text file -> local mediawiki install -> page with links -> firefox and lots of open tabs... not the fastest method (I know a well written program could do a side-by-side image display)....but it keeps me off the streets - Peripitus (Talk) 22:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Could you explain this? Because the image's source is unidentified as only "flickr", it's impossible to know the copyright status. This shows "no evidence that the copyright holder has released it under the license indicated by the uploader" (which is nonexistant). I'm just a bit confused. Lәo( βǃʘʘɱ) 22:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi Drilnoth,
Thanks for your judicious editing. I'm a beginner here, so trying my best. I have added a copyright holder to the image homepage and put a tag on the image. Is this enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.84.157 ( talk) 13:43, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I don't want the image to be non-free content actually. Is there a quick way to indicate that it can be used however people want and rid myself of the ugly tag? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.70.84.157 ( talk) 13:50, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Dear Richard
I have just written an article on the Sud-Est (SNCASE) SE-2010 Armagnac and wanted to add a 3-view. I located one of the 3-views on the Wings 2.12 website. Using this drawing as a basis, I made a composite drawing. Is it possible to get your approval to use the original drawing on the website for the composite drawing?

L) 01:40, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Hi -- I think you and/or ImageTaggingBot are being a little sloppy with deleting images. This image is one that I believe I very clearly marked with the proper licensing information. It was quite a bit of work for me to make it, and I didn't bother keeping backups once I'd uploaded the file to Wikipedia. Very unfortunate.-- Fashionslide ( talk) 04:49, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Is there a good reason for this, or am I just being a cynic, when I say that this change in the image licence is just being used as an excuse to purge wikipedia of images.

There's a 3-page review in Dragon #143! They do a good deal of talking the game up, which I can use for the review section, but there's also a lot of info I can use to source and add to the gameplay and other sections. With some work, we might even be able to get this one as good as Planescape: Torment. :) I'm going to start on it now, but I will likely finish later. Feel free to do whatever while I'm not doing anything with it. BOZ ( talk) 05:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
Now that I've marked up about 2 dozen pages, there are some things I noticed:
This is exciting! Thanks for your help. Agradman talk/ contribs 00:08, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Oh, bloody hell, I just wrote a nuanced response and deleted it by mistake. That's my cue to stop editing Wikipedia for the night.
First of all, that was a great change. I really like the appearance now.
Second: The reason I favor segregating the squeezed-dry links is because it's really important that the Category be as accurate as possible, and the "structure" I'm proposing seems to be the best way to train the uninitiated to keep it that way.
On a separate note, are you averse to putting a hyperlink to the Category somewhere in the margin of the template, so that more people become aware of its existence? Thanks. I'm really so proud of this change. Thanks for being patient with me. Agradman talk/ contribs 01:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I've really enjoyed using the template you created, thanks again. I'm just wondering whether it's possible to include, in the margin, a link to the category of all the pages that contain that template? The other changes can wait for a while, but this little change i think is key for the template to catch on.
Sorry to pester. I'd ask someone else, but I assume you have a sense of ownership in your creation, so I want to make sure you approve of changes.

Hi Drilnoth,
I've been away on business, so didn't know that an image I uploaded (Antonia Bernath CUCKOO.jpg) had been tagged for deletion, and then deleted on 1 July 2009. I've only logged on to Wikipedia today, so apologies for delay on this - it's my first chance to respond to the tagging and request an undelete.
I understand that the reason giving for tagging this image for deletion was "possibly unfree File".
I'm the producer of the British feature film CUCKOO and I am copyright owner in the film. I commissioned and paid the stills photographer who took the photographic image "Antonia Bernath CUCKOO.jpg" and also signed the contract which transfered the rights to me so that stills from the film could be used in the public domain. I also signed the agreement with the actors' agents which transfered image rights to me so that we can release these images into the public domain.
I would like to request an undelete of this file and restoration of previous page because I can confirm that the file is free for use.

I created a completely pointless script, User:Plastikspork/flipsummary.js, which adds a link to your toolbox which will attempt to invert the text in the 'edit summary' box. If you press the link twice, it goes back to normal. I created this after seeing someone leave an edit summary with inverted text. It works best with lowercase letters, and I should find a better target for the letter l; perhaps just use the letter l. Now back to work. Plastikspork ( talk) 05:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Drilnoth, you have new messages at Talk:Ratchet & Clank
I would have put a real talkback notice here, but these home-made ones have more of a charm, don't they. I suppose I could have waited for you to see the thing yourself, but I was worried you wouldn't see it. Spongefrog, (talk to me, or else) 21:12, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Why did you delete the two images? I have not had time to deal with the equally stupid allegations of copyright vio issue yet you act as though you are the sole arbiter of such things. Get a life. Albatross2147 ( talk) 22:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
WP:AGF. And you don't need to go talking to other editors about it before I've even responded. Let me explain; calling for removal of admin status and/or banning without first even hearing the user's reasons is pretty drastic. Now, here are the issues that I think the image in question has (there is only the one, right? File:Anthony-wesley-homebrew-telescope-IMG 2785-s.jpg? That's all that I saw on your talk page):
It has two problems in my opinion. The first is that it doesn't have a image copyright tag. Therefore, we can't tell if this image is Public Domain, cc-by-sa-3.0, or what. This is required so that other people can reuse the images on Wikipedia. Additionally, it lacks evidence of permission; simply saying that someone gave you permission isn't enough to prove it, unfortunately, because of the number of users who falsely claim permission. The process for "officially" confirming permission is outlined at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. If the website where the image was found indicates a free license, that works too if you provide a link (right now, I'm not able to locate the image on the web if that's where it came from because you didn't include a URL).
Anyway, there's no need to get angry about it. I'm just trying to help the encyclopedia, the same as you, I'm just working in a different area. The image could probably be fixed easily enough... the notes that I left on your talk page provide plenty of details on how to do this, and it may have taken less time than all of these posts here. I also feel that if you look at all of the conversations in the various archives on the page, you'll find that although I do get many complaints about my image tagging, these are often resolved easily and with understanding on both sides or I post to explain whatever I feel is wrong with the image and then there is never a response. If you can provide some links about bullying or anything like that, by all means do so, since I may have made a mistake.
Thank you, – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 23:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

For the multiple book covers you listed for deletion, perhaps it would have been better to handle this with a centralized discussion (or at least several centralized discussions, one per article) over whether or not to include these galleries, and then after reaching consensus to remove them there the images could be removed and deleted as orphaned non-free media? That seems like it would be less messy than creating over 50 FFD discussions, most of which will probably never be responded to individually. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 23:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Would you please withdraw the last image deletion nomination you made today? It groups together multiple images regarding books by five different authors, five different articles, with different rationales for inclusion / removal. The explanation you give is the same as used for discussions of multiple images within a single article, and it doesn't really make sense here. Almost all the comments so far are just repetition of comments on earlier nominations, which makes me wonder how many people have even checked out the individual situations. Better, I think, to resubmit these broken down by author/article. Thanks. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 18:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Pathfinder Module J4.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 16:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you restore File:1968 Qantas Logo.png and File:Qantas.svg please ?
Firstly, because they were only removed from the article Quantas by J Milburn ( talk · contribs) at 18:22 on 27 July 2009, so were not eligible for CSD under WP:CSD#F5 until seven days after that time.
Secondly, because in showing the logo development for a major international flag-carrier, viz. the national airline of Australia, it is my view that they do contribute significantly to the understanding conveyed by the article; in addition to being a situation where, according to WP's attorney, fair use is not likely to be a legal problem.

Hello Drilnoth, last week we went back and forth on this subject( User_talk:Drilnoth/Archive_6#Request_for_deletion). While I am not ready to do merges quite yet, I've ventured into MOVES. For example, I moved Osiel Cárdenas to Osiel Cárdenas Guillen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Osiel_C%C3%A1rdenas&action=history) to provide the full name in the title and also to provide consistency with the information in the article itslef.
Well, I have another move to make. This one is Joaquín Guzmán to Joaquín Guzmán Loera. However, I cannot do it because I found no MOVE tab in the Joaquín Guzmán article. Do you know why this is, and what can be done in this case to accomplish the move? Thanks! Rob99324 ( talk) 23:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

A bot would certainly be useful, should it be decided to deprecate the templates (And since I'm the one that started the discussion, I'm not the one who is going to decide on that). One thing that should be noted, tho, is that a lot of these templates use corresponding categories ( Template:Future album uses Category:Upcoming albums, etc.), and those should be retained when the template is removed from an article. Sometimes a template uses more than one category, depending on the parameters given, which also needs to be considered. I could make a list of which templates use which categories, if that helps. -- Conti| ✉ 22:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Drilnoth,
If you have patience to read a large block of text, I've seeded a discussion at the village pump miscellaneous page, regarding {{ refideas}}, here which you might want to contribute to. Andrew Gradman talk/ WP:Hornbook 04:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
If I may! :)
The trickiest part about the current list is that it was set up from a very-much 3E-perspective, when there have been deities in the game ever since Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes. I think the best way to set up this page is, as I have been championing for all D&D articles for some time, as an edition-by-edition publication history. For example, you'd have Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (in a prose-list form perhaps?) to represent the pre-AD&D stance, then you'd have the original Deities and Demigods for 1E, the 2E Legends & Lore and Monstrous Mythology, and so on. FR, DL, and GH have their own setting specific lists already (which should probably also be set up this way), and other settings would be footnotes in the main list. Thoughts?

I undid your edit to Darwin Joston. You/your bot eliminated so-called "duplicate" footnotes. These references are necessary because they support different points in different sentences. Without these citations, someone could easily (and justifiably) come along and slap "citation needed" flags on the sentences without footnotes. There are very few verifiable, published/broadcast sources about the article's subject, and I have used all of the available, verifiable sources that exist at this time. In this article, citing the same source twice in a row (again, to support different facts) is not only necessary, but is also the most responsible thing to do (if you care about the integrity of the article, that is).

Excuse me, i tried to create an account recently and when i tried to log in it didn't let me, do you have a clue to what might have happened?-- 78.148.30.86 ( talk) 20:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
There was some discussion of this. There are several reasons it wouldn't work:
This means that a vandal would need to sockpuppet at least one account into autoconfirmation, use it to watch a page, and then vandalize it with another account. This would hide it from the 0-watched recent changes (my guess, though, is that something like 3-or-less-watched will end up being used = 4 autoconfirmed socks), though it will still be clearly visible in our normal recent changes - which is exactly what it's like now. This is substantially more effort than the current practice of simply finding an out-of-the way page, checking its edit history, and vandalizing.
So, this (and pretty much all else) will not stop dedicated vandals, though it will make things substantially harder for them. It will, though, stop the vast majority of vandals who are currently not being noticed.

You seem to be willing to userfy articles, and you seem to be currently active. Could you kindly provide copies of Renfue and Black Veil Brides to User:Mcrfobrockr/Renfue and User:Mcrfobrockr/Black Veil Brides?
Thanks, Bongo matic 01:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Drilnoth, I have a problem: I created an article back in Spring 2007 for a Dating and Relationships Book Author named Alan Roger Currie; His article remained without challenge for months; I had two minor challenges about the article being "too press release like" and "not enough citations," but other than that, it was left alone. Then, two editors named Davidwiz and Theserialcomma recently lobbied to have the article deleted.
Later, Theserialcomma recommended that I write a new article with more citations and references; I did that. Then, the second, more improved article was deleted as well. Can you please review the improvement of the second article versus the first article, and recommend and overturn? You seem pretty thorough and objective.

Hi. At Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 July 23, you said that you could use AWB to remove IFD tags, IFDC tags, and add oldifdfull to each talk page. Could you go ahead and do that to any image that is still a blue link on that day's nominations? The short version is that anything that was clearly, unquestionably a violation (galleries of fair use images with no commentary) I deleted and anything that was legitimately disputable (galleries of images where there was text commentary on them or images in infoboxes, albeit multiple ones on a page) I left in place. I think that's the most reasonable alternative - when everyone is just copying and pasting the same votes (not !votes, these were actually votes), there isn't any consideration of separate issues that legitimately can be considered. So if you can remove tags and add tags as needed with AWB, that would be great. Thanks. -- B ( talk) 21:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for your message. I do understand that the images have been tagged for deletion. I would like to tell that those images have been clicked from my personal camera, so i thought me being the owner could upload them. Kindy let me know how could I mention in that those images have not been copied from any website and I'm the owner of File:TheBuilding.jpg, File:TheQuadrangle.jpg & File:TheLushLawn.jpg.

.Quick question, as I've been going through reviewing the stuff that slipped by User:DrilBot. If a user claims PD (and it looks legitimate), but the photo also contains the GDFL tag, is the proper solution to remove GDFL altogether and leave it as PD-user?

Thank you Drilnoth. It's certainly an interesting task. I have at least 3700 articles left to look at and probably 900-1000 images that are virtual duplicates....both of which will keep me occupied for quite a while. All the best - Peripitus (Talk) 22:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
AWB listing of what links to {{ extra album cover 2}} -> text file -> local mediawiki install -> page with links -> firefox and lots of open tabs... not the fastest method (I know a well written program could do a side-by-side image display)....but it keeps me off the streets - Peripitus (Talk) 22:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Could you explain this? Because the image's source is unidentified as only "flickr", it's impossible to know the copyright status. This shows "no evidence that the copyright holder has released it under the license indicated by the uploader" (which is nonexistant). I'm just a bit confused. Lәo( βǃʘʘɱ) 22:13, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

This is exciting! Thanks for your help. Agradman talk/ contribs 00:08, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Oh, bloody hell, I just wrote a nuanced response and deleted it by mistake. That's my cue to stop editing Wikipedia for the night.
First of all, that was a great change. I really like the appearance now.
Second: The reason I favor segregating the squeezed-dry links is because it's really important that the Category be as accurate as possible, and the "structure" I'm proposing seems to be the best way to train the uninitiated to keep it that way.
On a separate note, are you averse to putting a hyperlink to the Category somewhere in the margin of the template, so that more people become aware of its existence? Thanks. I'm really so proud of this change. Thanks for being patient with me. Agradman talk/ contribs 01:16, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I've really enjoyed using the template you created, thanks again. I'm just wondering whether it's possible to include, in the margin, a link to the category of all the pages that contain that template? The other changes can wait for a while, but this little change i think is key for the template to catch on.
Sorry to pester. I'd ask someone else, but I assume you have a sense of ownership in your creation, so I want to make sure you approve of changes.

Hi Drilnoth,
I've been away on business, so didn't know that an image I uploaded (Antonia Bernath CUCKOO.jpg) had been tagged for deletion, and then deleted on 1 July 2009. I've only logged on to Wikipedia today, so apologies for delay on this - it's my first chance to respond to the tagging and request an undelete.
I understand that the reason giving for tagging this image for deletion was "possibly unfree File".
I'm the producer of the British feature film CUCKOO and I am copyright owner in the film. I commissioned and paid the stills photographer who took the photographic image "Antonia Bernath CUCKOO.jpg" and also signed the contract which transfered the rights to me so that stills from the film could be used in the public domain. I also signed the agreement with the actors' agents which transfered image rights to me so that we can release these images into the public domain.
I would like to request an undelete of this file and restoration of previous page because I can confirm that the file is free for use.

I created a completely pointless script, User:Plastikspork/flipsummary.js, which adds a link to your toolbox which will attempt to invert the text in the 'edit summary' box. If you press the link twice, it goes back to normal. I created this after seeing someone leave an edit summary with inverted text.

WP:AGF. And you don't need to go talking to other editors about it before I've even responded. Let me explain; calling for removal of admin status and/or banning without first even hearing the user's reasons is pretty drastic. Now, here are the issues that I think the image in question has (there is only the one, right? File:Anthony-wesley-homebrew-telescope-IMG 2785-s.jpg? That's all that I saw on your talk page):
It has two problems in my opinion. The first is that it doesn't have a image copyright tag. Therefore, we can't tell if this image is Public Domain, cc-by-sa-3.0, or what. This is required so that other people can reuse the images on Wikipedia. Additionally, it lacks evidence of permission; simply saying that someone gave you permission isn't enough to prove it, unfortunately, because of the number of users who falsely claim permission. The process for "officially" confirming permission is outlined at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. If the website where the image was found indicates a free license, that works too if you provide a link (right now, I'm not able to locate the image on the web if that's where it came from because you didn't include a URL).
Anyway, there's no need to get angry about it. I'm just trying to help the encyclopedia, the same as you, I'm just working in a different area. The image could probably be fixed easily enough... the notes that I left on your talk page provide plenty of details on how to do this, and it may have taken less time than all of these posts here. I also feel that if you look at all of the conversations in the various archives on the page, you'll find that although I do get many complaints about my image tagging, these are often resolved easily and with understanding on both sides or I post to explain whatever I feel is wrong with the image and then there is never a response. If you can provide some links about bullying or anything like that, by all means do so, since I may have made a mistake.
Thank you, – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 23:42, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

For the multiple book covers you listed for deletion, perhaps it would have been better to handle this with a centralized discussion (or at least several centralized discussions, one per article) over whether or not to include these galleries, and then after reaching consensus to remove them there the images could be removed and deleted as orphaned non-free media? That seems like it would be less messy than creating over 50 FFD discussions, most of which will probably never be responded to individually. rʨanaɢ talk/ contribs 23:48, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Would you please withdraw the last image deletion nomination you made today? It groups together multiple images regarding books by five different authors, five different articles, with different rationales for inclusion / removal. The explanation you give is the same as used for discussions of multiple images within a single article, and it doesn't really make sense here. Almost all the comments so far are just repetition of comments on earlier nominations, which makes me wonder how many people have even checked out the individual situations. Better, I think, to resubmit these broken down by author/article. Thanks. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 18:50, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Pathfinder Module J4.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. – Drilnoth ( T • C • L) 16:37, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you restore File:1968 Qantas Logo.png and File:Qantas.svg please ?
Firstly, because they were only removed from the article Quantas by J Milburn ( talk · contribs) at 18:22 on 27 July 2009, so were not eligible for CSD under WP:CSD#F5 until seven days after that time.
Secondly, because in showing the logo development for a major international flag-carrier, viz. the national airline of Australia, it is my view that they do contribute significantly to the understanding conveyed by the article; in addition to being a situation where, according to WP's attorney, fair use is not likely to be a legal problem.

Hello Drilnoth, last week we went back and forth on this subject( User_talk:Drilnoth/Archive_6#Request_for_deletion). While I am not ready to do merges quite yet, I've ventured into MOVES. For example, I moved Osiel Cárdenas to Osiel Cárdenas Guillen ( http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Osiel_C%C3%A1rdenas&action=history) to provide the full name in the title and also to provide consistency with the information in the article itslef.
Well, I have another move to make. This one is Joaquín Guzmán to Joaquín Guzmán Loera. However, I cannot do it because I found no MOVE tab in the Joaquín Guzmán article. Do you know why this is, and what can be done in this case to accomplish the move? Thanks! Rob99324 ( talk) 23:25, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

A bot would certainly be useful, should it be decided to deprecate the templates (And since I'm the one that started the discussion, I'm not the one who is going to decide on that). One thing that should be noted, tho, is that a lot of these templates use corresponding categories ( Template:Future album uses Category:Upcoming albums, etc.), and those should be retained when the template is removed from an article. Sometimes a template uses more than one category, depending on the parameters given, which also needs to be considered. I could make a list of which templates use which categories, if that helps. -- Conti| ✉ 22:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Drilnoth,
If you have patience to read a large block of text, I've seeded a discussion at the village pump miscellaneous page, regarding {{ refideas}}, here which you might want to contribute to. Andrew Gradman talk/ WP:Hornbook 04:59, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
If I may! :)
The trickiest part about the current list is that it was set up from a very-much 3E-perspective, when there have been deities in the game ever since Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes. I think the best way to set up this page is, as I have been championing for all D&D articles for some time, as an edition-by-edition publication history. For example, you'd have Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (in a prose-list form perhaps?) to represent the pre-AD&D stance, then you'd have the original Deities and Demigods for 1E, the 2E Legends & Lore and Monstrous Mythology, and so on. FR, DL, and GH have their own setting specific lists already (which should probably also be set up this way), and other settings would be footnotes in the main list. Thoughts?

I undid your edit to Darwin Joston. You/your bot eliminated so-called "duplicate" footnotes. These references are necessary because they support different points in different sentences. Without these citations, someone could easily (and justifiably) come along and slap "citation needed" flags on the sentences without footnotes. There are very few verifiable, published/broadcast sources about the article's subject, and I have used all of the available, verifiable sources that exist at this time. In this article, citing the same source twice in a row (again, to support different facts) is not only necessary, but is also the most responsible thing to do (if you care about the integrity of the article, that is).

Excuse me, i tried to create an account recently and when i tried to log in it didn't let me, do you have a clue to what might have happened?-- 78.148.30.86 ( talk) 20:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
There was some discussion of this. There are several reasons it wouldn't work:
This means that a vandal would need to sockpuppet at least one account into autoconfirmation, use it to watch a page, and then vandalize it with another account. This would hide it from the 0-watched recent changes (my guess, though, is that something like 3-or-less-watched will end up being used = 4 autoconfirmed socks), though it will still be clearly visible in our normal recent changes - which is exactly what it's like now. This is substantially more effort than the current practice of simply finding an out-of-the way page, checking its edit history, and vandalizing.
So, this (and pretty much all else) will not stop dedicated vandals, though it will make things substantially harder for them. It will, though, stop the vast majority of vandals who are currently not being noticed.

You seem to be willing to userfy articles, and you seem to be currently active. Could you kindly provide copies of Renfue and Black Veil Brides to User:Mcrfobrockr/Renfue and User:Mcrfobrockr/Black Veil Brides?
Thanks, Bongo matic 01:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Drilnoth, I have a problem: I created an article back in Spring 2007 for a Dating and Relationships Book Author named Alan Roger Currie; His article remained without challenge for months; I had two minor challenges about the article being "too press release like" and "not enough citations," but other than that, it was left alone. Then, two editors named Davidwiz and Theserialcomma recently lobbied to have the article deleted.
Later, Theserialcomma recommended that I write a new article with more citations and references; I did that. Then, the second, more improved article was deleted as well. Can you please review the improvement of the second article versus the first article, and recommend and overturn? You seem pretty thorough and objective.

Hi! Can you see if this image is o.k. I founded it here, and than I altered it a bit in Photoshop. Thanks. -- Kebeta ( talk) 18:00, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Go head and delete both pictures ( File:Agent K.PNG and File:Agent K original design.PNG). I uploaded them because I wanted to publish the article I made in my sandbox. However, I don't think I'll ever publish it. So please delete them. -- ραncακemisτακe ( talk) 21:20, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi. At Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 July 23, you said that you could use AWB to remove IFD tags, IFDC tags, and add oldifdfull to each talk page. Could you go ahead and do that to any image that is still a blue link on that day's nominations? The short version is that anything that was clearly, unquestionably a violation (galleries of fair use images with no commentary) I deleted and anything that was legitimately disputable (galleries of images where there was text commentary on them or images in infoboxes, albeit multiple ones on a page) I left in place. I think that's the most reasonable alternative - when everyone is just copying and pasting the same votes (not !votes, these were actually votes), there isn't any consideration of separate issues that legitimately can be considered. So if you can remove tags and add tags as needed with AWB, that would be great. Thanks. -- B ( talk) 21:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for your message. I do understand that the images have been tagged for deletion. I would like to tell that those images have been clicked from my personal camera, so i thought me being the owner could upload them. Kindy let me know how could I mention in that those images have not been copied from any website and I'm the owner of File:TheBuilding.jpg, File:TheQuadrangle.jpg & File:TheLushLawn.jpg.

L) 22:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)Hi, just thought I'd mention -- noticed your listing of File:Alice-wonerland.jpg at PUI, images with no licensing should be DI'd instead (couldn't see any claims of it being free in the history). If I'm missing something, please let me know. Thanks. :) — neuro (talk) 21:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
I've updated the rationale given for the Chloe Jones image to properly respond to your concerns, by utilizing the exact wording used for File:Phil Hartman.jpg, which is present in a featured article. Tabercil ( talk) 00:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've read into the guidlines regarding the TUGS images, and despite the large cast image there isn't another for the other characters (which you have marked for deletion). Since there is no other image available, do they still meet the deletion criteria? -- SteelersFanUK06 ReplyOnMine! 18:42, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
