All photos I have put on Wikipedia and on the commons were shot by me. Thank you very much for the good words you sent on the Commons - it really makes it worthwhile. I'm currently in the midst of a drag queen series. So far I've only uploaded Miss Understood, but tonight I spent about 6 hours with Lypsinka and I'm scheduled to do Lady Bunny, Miss Coco Peru and Amanda Lepore, amongst others. I have about 1,000+ shots on Wikipedia, it's only in the last several months I have focused on portraiture. It makes me very glad to know you enjoy them. Yesterday I did Mena Suvari and Scott Caan. Dave -- David Shankbone 00:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I kind of lucked out with the Mena Suvari and Scott Caan - they were on 23rd Street for the premiere of Brooklyn and I happened to walk by on my way to a retrospective of Christopher Makos's work at a gallery (I apprentice with Makos). I don't watch television, so I didn't really know who they were at first; in fact, I know who nobody is: at the gallery I was talking to Calvin Klein with no idea who he was. Figures. I have a crappy shot of him, but I'm not going to put it up. But, hey, with Mena Suvari and Scott Caan you could take your pick as to who you'd do - ha! That's hot. -- David Shankbone 22:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey Peter - I'm in New York City. I only do portraiture for a hobby, although I may be working with Christopher Makos...we are still in the planning stages. -- David Shankbone 00:01, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey Peter - I just got back from a family vacation on the shore. To answer your questions, I shoot DSLR, never film. Film is artistically better, but only marginally so (that's not my opinion, it's what Christopher Makos and Billy Name told me; Billy actually said people who pooh-pooh digital just can't afford it). But photographing for Wikipedia isn't really an artistic pursuit, although there is some artistic license. I'm not paparazzi because 1. I mostly only do "sit-downs" with people where I have an appointment to meet them in their home or office, or some other location (such as my recent Jim McGreevey); 2. IN all other incidences, I photograph people at public events where they expect to be photographed, such as book signings, speaking events, or the Tribeca Film Festival (such as Drew Barrymore and John Waters). I don't hide outside their houses or chase them through the streets of Paris in a speeding car. I couldn't be bothered. And I've scaled back my photography a good bit because I'm working on a book. Additionally, the people I photograph are only about 250 of the over 1,000 images I have on Wikipedia. You sound skinny! Better than heavy ;-) I'm not all that LGBT-friendly; I don't really hang out in the gay scene that much. Although I am gay. My photos of the Pride Parade are on Chuck Schumer, Pasties, Dyke (lesbian), Celebrity impersonator and Transgender. Thanks for the good words! I hope San Diego is treating you well. -- David Shankbone 18:15, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure using the parser's magic words is a very good idea, it might have some unintended consequences for the mirrors for example (say I import this article on my personal wiki, it would output "15 articles"). -- lucasbfr talk 16:41, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Vid2vid. You can't create a San Diego Meetup by just announcing it in one line. The first thing you have to do is create a page like Wikipedia:Meetup/SD1 (which was created for the first San Diego Meetup; the second would be at Wikipedia:Meetup/SD2). But since you didn't create any such page, I'm going to remove the mention from Wikipedia:Meetup for now. You might also want to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Southern_California#Southern-California-area meetups.
I don't think anyone really cares about Meetup.com too much; these things tend to be coordinated directly on Wikipedia. If you seriously want advice on this, I could help you a bit long-distance in terms of setting things up online. Thanks.-- Pharos ( talk) 22:44, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
If the addition of Patches needs supporting by a reference, then p. 68 of the Time-Life book Serial Killers ISBN 0-783-50000-9 should suffice. Not that I personally believe the two references to clowning before 12/11/1978 should be in an infobox, but, you seem integral. All the best.-- Kieronoldham ( talk) 03:13, 6 April 2019 (UTC)

Hey Vid2vid, thanks for coming back and adding the ref tags on your addition; I edit conflicted with you. I have removed the reference in any case, since only stuff that is not clearly referenced in the body of the article (such as his birth date, in this case) needs to have a ref in the intro. If you look down to the bottom of the article, you'll see several refs for his coming out. The intro should summarize the main points of the article, and all of those should normally be referenced, so intros often need no refs at all. Yngvadottir ( talk) 19:59, 22 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Jean Martirez born January 19 1963.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq ( talk) 15:26, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
..As for your options, I'm afraid there isn't really a good one for keeping this image. Wikipedia is a free content encyclopedia and the use of non-free content must meet all of the non-free content criteria. This photo contravenes policy point 1 which covers replaceability. From the guidelines, "Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people." In order to satisfy the "no free equivalent" criterion, not only must it be the case that there is no free image, but it must also be the case that no free image could be created. For a living person, a free image could be created by somebody even if you personally cannot do it. You may dispute the deletion and provide your explanation as to why this image is not replaceable, but in my experience, non-free images of living people are almost always deleted. Exceptions would be something like a a notable criminal who is incarcerated for life so the opportunity to create a free image does not really exist. If you really want an image for the article, you will need to find one that is freely licensed. |

On 11 September 2023, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Chollas Creek, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a California sea lion, later named Freeway, was thought to have traveled up Chollas Creek (pictured) before getting onto California State Highway 94? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Chollas Creek. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Chollas Creek), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
