Please note:
1) The photograph is a composite of both sides of a coin in my collection, in it's collectors mounting, and was created by myself.
2) The text I entered was entirely my own words, written straight from my head as I entered it.
Hence, your objection is unwarranted. Please withdraw it, and do not delete the image.

For evidence, please note (in the photograph below) the above coin sitting on the keyboard of the laptop upon which I write this (along with a few other Bermudian coins, bank notes, and cap badges from my collection). Photograph taken minutes ago with my mobile 'phone camera, so pardon the quality.
1964 Bermuda Crown and other monies
Aodhdubh (talk) 04:54, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
In reference to the reply to the above, which you made on my talk page, copied below:
Before I start, I'd just like to make a point that this is Wikipedia and not a place to accuse. As collaborators on the Wikipedia project, it is necessary to create an encouraging environment rather than a garrulous one you are attempting to create. Please do not use such brash language in the future. Thank you.
And now, to the issue of the Bermuda Coin images. You have licensed the images Bermuda Crown 1964.jpg under the Creative Commons and GNU licenses. Using these licenses mean that you have created the images yourself....completely and entirely. You created the image -yes, but not the coin. The image that you have uploaded depicts a coin which was copyrighted by a foreign nation. With the Creative Commons and GNU licenses, you are claiming that the coin of the foriegn nation was created by you and you now intend to share this 'work' in the public domain. Such constitues as a copyright infrigement and therefore your image is deleteable by (db-i9). Please read the page, Wikipedia:Non-free content, at the image section, to get a better idea of what this really means.
Rather than license your image under Creative Commons and GNU licenses, you should be licensing your image under the template {Non-free currency} and provide the appropriate fair use rationale. An example of the rationale used for foriegn currencies is seen in the page 3. If you can fix the licensing and add fair use rationale, I will remove the deletion templates. Thank you.Fastily (talk) 06:22, 26 November 2008
Well, thank you, and you might have written what have now, regarding copyright of the coins, rather than the image of the coin, the first time...what I read in your initial objection was an accusation by you that I had plagiarised the image, or the text verbatim (wasn't clear which was intended), from a printed source, or another website. If that is not, or no longer, your objection, but that the coin itself is a copyright, and that any photograph of it is therefore violating said copyright (are you certain? That seems a bit wide-sweeping a definition...but I'll follow up on the links you posted), then that seems a more reasonable objection, and less like an attack on my character. If you read my reply to your objection as an attack on your own person, or your character, it was certainly not meant that way, and you'll have my apologies for words that could have perhaps been chosen more carefully.
Aodhdubh (talk) 19:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I note that a separate fair use rationale must be provided for each instance in which the image is used. Am I meant to write a rational on each page on which the image is displayed, and if so, where on the page? Or, am I meant to write to write a retionale on the actual image page, and somehow reference each other page on which it is used? Is there a format for writing a rationale, or is it enough simply to insert it as a block of text anywhere on whichever page? I cannot spot the rationale on the image page you provided as an example (of the Yuan notes), or on the encycolpedic page on which the image is displayed, but maybe I'm not looking in the right spot.
Aodhdubh (talk) 19:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I am inclined to believe the above user about the image of the coins based on his pic of the coin on his computer's keyboard. I tried to find other instances of the other image and only two weren't to the upload.wikimedia.org file. The first one, http://www.bermuda-online.org/money.htm is, imo, sufficiently disproved by the fact that the page was last updated today and the fact that the Internet Archive preserved page on January 18 where it clearly is not there. The other, http://www.answers.com/topic/bermuda, definitely indicates that the portion of the page using that pic is from Wikipedia. Based on this evidence, I am declining the speedy tags on those images. I would also like to request that you remove the other tag from the first image. You don't have to do that if you don't want to, but I think the evidence strongly implies that the uploader is telling the truth. Thingg⊕⊗ 19:36, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Aodhdubh (talk) 21:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
Actually, I think I figured the rationales out....just followed the links you gave 'til I got to the information.
I suspect the Crown copyright doesn't quite extend to Bermuda as the Bermuda Government has been largelly autonomous in just about every way for centuries, issuing it's own money since the 1600s, for example. I'm curious whether any copyrighted design is always non-free when captured in a photograph (I imagining a photograph of a street scene that captures shop signs, and a stack of newspapers with the front page visible, sitting by a news vendor), or if this is strictly for government copyrights, or, more specifically, for currency? I have a small booklet in my collection, Experiences of a Bermudian Numismatist in my collection. It was written , and, I assume, published by Ray C. P. Williams, and printed in Bermuda by Engravers Ltd. Despite numerous images of Bermuian bank notes, I cannot find any reference in it to the copyright of the notes' designs, or under what license the photographs are used. That may simply indicate the less-constrictive legal atmosphere surrounding such activities in Bermuda, by comparison to in the UK proper...the pamphlet also fails to identify the publisher, who holds copyright to it, or the date of publication, though I'm sure Bermudian law requires all published material to include the identity and address of the publisher, and the date of publication. That didn't stop the pamphlet being sold in Bermudian bookstores, where I procured my copy.
Aodhdubh (talk) 20:25, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
I'm also curious as to when a government's copyright on money designs expires...when the notes or coins cease to be legal tender? After 100 years? After the dissolution of the Government and the State? Never?

Why would user DionysosProteus will not let me add a new picture to the article August Strindberg? You also felt that the picture should stay. Why removing it?
I have left him a message but he was not respond and he reverted the picture again.
This was my message to him:The picture you reverted is a rather unusual picture about Strindberg. We have it at the Swedish Wikipedia too. I think the same like User:Fastily, the image should stay. There is room for that picture in the article. No, he is not a boy, but he is fairly young and is not identical to the next image, the next image is a dark portrait, while this one is a layed back bust. The standard picture about him is always the one with the hair pointing to the sky (the firts one). It is a bit boring to see always the same old picture everywhere. Why not a different one too?

The edit wasn't meant as a joke, as funny as it sounds it is actually serious. some people take it specifically to get more 'volume'. I know when people make edits sometimes people will put 'citation needed' so i figured out that you had the ref button set up on the edit page so I edited in an article that talked about clomid being used as PCT for steroid users that talked about the subject. i thought that way the people who edit the site would know that it wasn't meant as malicious or a joke. Some males in pornography take it to gain 'volume'. I had been reading about the subject so I thought that I would put it in as it was relevant......males using clomid and getting unintended effects of what the drug is designed to do. I thought it was interesting that it would affect males that way.
was the reference not clear enough? I can find another one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.161.13.71 (talk) 05:35, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I read wikipedia a lot and know that everyone kind of makes sure people aren't putting nonsense into pages. I often times find myself reading pages, finding typos or incorrect punctuation and fixing it. i do it from diff. computers as I have diff. ones for home, work etc....
can anyone sign up for an account so they can log in and the changes that they make can be attributed to them? I'd like to do that, that way if someone reads something I put in and want to erase it they can look and see that I'm a registered user and not someone trying to cause problems.
Thanks for the help.

While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, Kralizec! (talk) 02:57, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Kirby600px.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:28, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
It appears the full update I made to the page didn't take -- I'll try it again. I found the page Blood Atonement to be very messy, containing reduplicated information and no clear structure at all. It also suffers from a common problem of pages associated with a particular sect -- the over use of religious titles and Mormon-specific jargon that can make it difficult for non-Mormons to understand.
Hello, our paths crossed on the Clomid/clomidithene (sp???) page where I had made some changes. I thought I'd drop you a line and say hello and thanks for giving me the motivation to sign up for an account.

Hello, I noticed you undid my edits to Benedict allum. I think this page is a hoax/joke page that someone has made for their friend. My evidence: (1) google only has 5 hits for "Benedict allum"; (2) there are comments about "he did not go to a girls college"; (3) someone has been putting similar jokes at Girton College, Cambridge. I was in the process of proposing its deletion, when you reverted my edits. I will look back at this page if you reply to my comments. 87.113.79.206 (talk) 22:16, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Dear Fastily, i spent nearly 3 hours trying to edit this not very competent and messy article which requires throughout optimisation. And it will take much more time to finish the work i just started. As a holder of PhD in Neuroscience currently working in the area which includes the topic of this article I feel outraged by your unbased removal of my edits and giving me a warning. I work from two different computers and block-removed only content which i previously inserted from another PC. This is with respect to capacitance equation in myelin subsection. As i later found this would involve too much speculation to be present in encyclopaedia, i removed the insertion. I also did some editing in resting potential subsection which was also hastily reverted without reasonable consideration. If you cared to look carefully at my edits you would notice this. I ask to revert my edit as otherwise i do not feel neither inclination no motivation to dedicate my valueble time towards improvement of this online resourse. Thank you.

Perhaps it's not my place to go clearing a random IP's talk page, but if you review the contents which you've now restored, you will see a farcical witch-hunt that drove away a new user, complete with a sockpuppet investigation resolved with the byline "Comedy of Huggle errors". The page as it stands is nothing more than a monument to the overzealousness of our vandal-fighting forces, and the anonymous users they trample along the way. In the interest of moving forward (and not further antagonizing the previous user or any new users), please blank the page. Thanks. – 74 06:21, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry about the confusion, but I wasn't vandalizing the Cliff Baxter article. I just thought it would be better to summarize his suicide note rather than post it in its entirety, both to preserve word economy and because the note itself is obviously a very personal document.

Dear Fastily,
The vandalism being carried out against "yasser latif hamdani's" page is politically motivated. Yasser Latif Hamdani is not an Ahmadi. He has made it quite clear. And he does not believe that Jinnah wanted Pakistan to "embody Islamic principles". Instead he has passionately argued that Jinnah wanted Pakistan to be a secular state. The edits made by various sockpuppets are clearly motivated and should be removed. Egopearl (talk) 19:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I noticed your commentary on the user talk page for "TheRedPenOfDoom" and that person's constant revisions and edits on various topics. I have noticed a great number of removals on the seemingly innocent Diner lingo page. For example; the listing of the slang "Jack Benny", slang for a bacon and cheese sandwich (named after the comic), included a reference to the entertainer. I added a metalink to the listing for Jack Benny. "TRPOD" saw fit to remove this, as well as the listing that the sandwich was named after the man. According to the history for that page this person made 18 (EIGHTEEN!) removals on 24 February 2009 alone, just for that page! Just thought you'd like to know.

I curious why you rolled back changes on the above page on 29mar09. It looks like you removed the names Pete Santora and Morgan Zimmer.
I don't know who the right names were so I put ??? in the blanks hoping someone would fill them in.
Someone did and I was happy.
You removed the names. Do you know that these names are not correct?

I noticed that you reverted this edit and called it vandalism on the user's page. I think that this information was at least added in good faith, and perhaps something that should have stayed in the article. it may have been a bit poorly worded, but I don't think the intent was malicious.

So in what way was the attempt at de-orphaning Galactic Odyssey unconstructive? I looked through the wiki pages that were candidates, I googled the book and tried to find other leads, I tried searching for pages mentioning the main character Billy Danger, and came up with nothing. So, in order to let others know that I'd worked on it and couldn't come up with any way of providing more links, I put the att tag in the orphan template, and noted that I'd tried in the edit summary. Where did I go wrong? Agathman (talk) 02:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Tupolev Tu-95 edit I performed was removing a computer generagted image of what they claim is the Tupolev Tu-95. I removed it for several reasons. 1) It is a computer generated image, not an actual photo. 2) It is a poor representation of a Tupolev Tu-95 aircraft, and though only airplane geeks would notice, I thought that was the point of having people edit wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Helloaday (talk • contribs) 03:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
Your comment was listed as "unconstructive" on a page I recommended for speedy deletion, Lil Henchmen. What exactly does that mean? I proposed the article for speedy deletion that was reverted several times. I'm curious, did you even review the page?

Hi, Fastily! I should inform you that there is a thread at WP:AN/I regarding one of your huggle reverts. I assume the revert itself was a mistake, but I suggest you be more careful when using this tool. As it says, "Huggle is a tool for dealing with vandalism. Its nature requires that it is capable of editing pages quickly, and of making many edits in a short space of time. Such features should be used with caution." And also, "Responsibility for edits rests with the owner of the account with which they are made. "Use of an automated tool" is not an excuse." Please use huggle only for clear cases of vandalism and other unconstructive edits, and do not use it for anything you are unsure of. Make sure an edit needs to be reverted before you hit the revert button. Assume good faith when it seems appropriate. In such cases, reverting should be done manually and huggle should not be used. Cheers. Chamal talk 05:47, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I do not see how my addition was 'unconstructive' or irrelevant.
How far apart is 'VINCERE VEL MORI - "To conquer or die"' and '“VINCE AUT MORIRE” (Conquer or Die)'?
Especially, when concurrent similar information is given.
I believe you are mistaken in your change.
If you feel the format of providing backing information is technically incorrect, I suggest you change only that portion.
It appears, by looking at your messages, that you are overzealous with reverts. Perhaps, a bit more caution?

I don't know why you reverted my edits to Jeffrey Hoffman's page. I was adding updated information about his sefvice on the faculty at MIT, taken from his MIT homepage (and prperly cited with a reference to that homepage). I also added a summary of his astronaut service to the opening of the entry, in response to someone's insertion of a "too short" marker at the top of the entry. I've just spent an hour trying to correct the lack of information in this entry, and you've just removed everything I added for no apparent reason. Why??? (All of the information I added is easily verified from the provided citations, either the official NASA biography (citation 1) or the MIT bio (citation 4).

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article SMX (computer language), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, Fastily. Perhaps your experience with bots has been better than mine, but I believe they're not only retarded, but persistently and agressively so. I've seen them needlessly delete countless images... Acceptable Fair Use and even Public Domain that were properly labeled, but the bot couldn't read whatever particular format was used. And nobody-- especially the bot-owner-- seems to care when they do. That's why I put multiple formats in my image descriptions... Anyway, I've got these images on my watchlist, so if some bumbling, self-important jackass of a bot tries to delete one, I'll catch it. :) Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 20:23, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining that I had uploaded the File:Sheila Walsh-Future Eyes 500.jpg image and it was in danger of being deleted. Too bad you didn't explain how to add the required information and haven't complained to the owners of the site that when uploading album art work, from the provided drop down menu, that additional information should be requested. Otherwise, otherwise legitimate material will be removed. These are the barriers that make entry into updating Wikipedia nearly impossible for the technically adept.

Hi Fastily,
You just reverted a series of edits I made to Canada's role in the invasion of Afghanistan. With all due respect, I believe you may have been mistaken. If you would please take a closer look at my 3 edits that you reverted, I placed text that is a straight copy-and-paste from a Canadian government website in quotation marks and italics to make it clear that those are quotes. I also explained the reasons for doing this on the discussion page of the article (including WP:COPY). I had also correctly updated the tally of casualties for the latest casualty reported today.

Hi - you've reverted some changes to cord blood, and left an "unconstructive changes" message on an IP user's talk page. While the IP user was wrong in some of the edits, some of them were perfectly correct (e.g. the status of the duke university study) or lacking a source. I think it was unnecessary to put this on their talk page, as they clearly were editing in good faith.

Hello, I noticed your little note in one of my RfA comments. Is this something that I should do myself in future, until I've built up a history, or is it something that I should leave to other editors to add? I note that you're busy and might not answer quickly, so I'll add a small note myself to any further comments I make at RfA. Just to make things clear: I am note complaining about the note, or you adding the note. I think it's a good idea. Kind Regards, NotAnIP83:149:66:11 (talk) 12:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Just to ask, how is the picture “Boeing PMTD.jpg” an invalid non-free use? It was a picture that was released by Boeing for publicity of the PMTD, and it was not replicable with a free image because the PMTD is an experimental aircraft. So, I don’t really understand how that is not non-free promotional material. Enryū6473 Talk 18:35, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm fairly ignorant when it comes to image use in Wikipedia, so forgive me, but I can't find an answer, so I'll ask you, cause you tagged the image I uploaded as in need of a license, so I assume you'll know an answer =P. The image is from WikiSky's SDSS mode, meaning it's imaged by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The license agreement for image use of SDSS images is found here (http://www.sdss.org/gallery/usage_policy.html). I assume, as a result, that the image is free to use on Wikipedia, so long as credit is given to SDSS and a link issued on the page? What template and license would I use as a result? I also read elsewhere that non-commercial images still get treated as non-free images here on Wiki? If that's true in this context, what would I do to make it legal to keep the image on Wikipedia? Fair use policy by keeping it only as a low-res illustration...? --Dark dude (talk) 00:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Fastily, and thanks for taking a look at User:Michael H 34's unblock request. As the reporting editor (also the administrator "with unclean hands"- which are in fact sparkling clean, since I have never used or threatened any adminly tools in this matter!) I obviously think he was fairly blocked for edit warring; however, I see you declined his unblock based on the fact that he had clearly broken 3RR, which I don't think he has (recently). I'm not sure if you misread the dates, or meant to say that he had clearly been EWing, but I just thought I would bring it to your attention to make sure he gets a fair hearing, and/or to try and avoid future confusion for all concerned. --Slp1 (talk) 23:52, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments, and I do agree that there has been edit warring going on! I was just a bit worried about the specific mention of clearly violating 3RR in the decline, and wondered whether it would confuse and cause questions; but it doesn't seem to have, and the block has expired, so not to worry.--Slp1 (talk) 01:50, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Ah, what luck. This user (who you reverted about two hours ago) is a long-time abuser, blocked twice before for exactly the kind of edit you reverted. In fact, he has a standing indef block on User:Spooky873, so he's genre warring AND evading a ban. Can you deal with him?

Hi Fastily, do you care to comment on this edit? In WP:V I read "Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is challenged or likely to be challenged, or the material may be removed," and so it seems to me that a vandalism 1 warning isn't exactly justified.

Hey there.

Hey Fastily, hope everything's well with you. I just wanted to ask you about this, if you don't mind. I'm sure you understand that RfA can be an extremely stressful experience. From what I've seen, changing your vote to "very strong oppose" is demoralizing to the candidate. Bureaucrats weigh the strength of an oppose by the arguments it advances, rather than by the bold-face !vote, so it really doesn't contribute any more value to the discussion.

Not a major issue but I suspect you used the wrong block template on the above page as you've put the block time as indefinite but the template says "Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions.

Métaux Précieux SA Métalor Hangon
Firstly I would like to stress out that I am neither personally nor family-wise, nor in any other way connected with the company, neither financially nor in any other possible way.
I have been lately doing my best, mainly on E and F wiki, to give a much clearer and thourough knowledge of the watch industry, in particular the Swiss Watch Industry. Having spent all my managerial career within the industry, I feel that it is necessary that the relaating articles give more knowledge to the people interested in, as has been the case up to now.
I had planned to continue constructing the article with much more technical knowledge of what involves the making of precious metal watch cases, etc.,
I do not feel that this page can be constructed as an advertisement for a company that does business only with manufacturers, who have the knowledge and can decide to place their orders wherever they please (mind you there are not so many refining companies in the field world wide.
At your disposal for further talks.
In any case, my trying to contribute to wikipedia might be somewhat more worthy than a quick deletion. Appreciating your kind cooperation. claude (talk) 23:13, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Regarding the above article you just deleted, I just remembered I was concerned that the images on the page might violate the copyright policy. Some of them are on the building's web site.

could you elaborate as to why my additions(albeit, late) are 'unconstructive'? the arguement is that there isn't any video featuring both a visual of the car and of a "GPS tachometer" to 'prove' that the Aero really went as fast as it did, and my edit is arguing that there isn't a video of this kind for former fastest production cars such as the Koenigsegg CCR, McLaren F1, Jaguar XJ220, Bugatti EB110, etc. the arguement is also that the SSC Ultimate Aero TT wasn't ran under "credible circumstances", a term which has only been discussed on wikipedia and has yet to be defined. also the Bugatti Veyron has only made speed runs in one direction, while the two largest timing associations, FIA and SCTA require that a record run be made in both directions, the second within one hour of the first. this is to account for possible road/track slope, head/tail wind, etc., and is the same rule that Guinness uses when they certify a speed record for any given vehicle. i brought this up once before and it was ignored, so i am bringing it to light again.
does this prove that my additions were constructive? would you prefer that i start a new paragraph before adding them? i don't really understand what i'm doing 'wrong' here, especially since this concerns a discussion on a talk page.Ry Trapp0 (talk) 04:46, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello
I was wondering if you could explain what you mean by unconstructive edits. I know i'm new to editing on wikipedia but I thought i greatly improved the page from what it was already (just two sentences). if it was because of a lack of references, it is a small school so there are hardly any websites with info about it so i used my own knowledge of the topic to edit the page. I'm open to criticism.

Hi, I am responding to the Possibly Unfree File Dispute listed on the Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2009 July 31 page. The file in question, LNNew.gif, is of my creation as is file Helmet3A.gif which is currently being used to represent Lake Norman High School on its Wikipedia page uploaded by me on May 18th, 2007. Lake Norman Athletics Director Steve Rankin and Lake Norman Head Football Coach Scott Sherrill hired me to design a new school athletic logo in 2005, which is Helmet3A.gif. I was given permission to use this logo in any fashion to help promote the School's athletics program, especially football. The file in question, LNNew.gif, is an updated version of Helmet3A.gif provided to Lake Norman Head Football Coach Scott Sherrill, which is currently being used by the football program to help promote the upcoming 2009 football season. As with file Helmet3A.gif, I have permission from Scott Sherrill and the athletics department to use file LNNew.gif in any way fashion to promote the school's athletics program considering I am the creator of the design and a former assistant of Scott Sherrill. I hope this solves the dispute and allows wikipedia to keep the logo on Lake Norman's High School Page. Thank you

Hello Fastily, I'm new to contributing and editing. The photo mentioned above is not licenced to the RCAF. It was a promotional photo that actually appeared in several Canadian newspapers in 1964. F.L. Winterburn was in the military and to promote a new invention required the blessing of the Airforce. They capitallized on this by having him in uniform for the photos. It looked good for the Airforce, but the invention and production of the world's first CD ignition was a civilion endeavor. I must have goofed somehow with the licensing portion of the upload to Wilimedia commons, and I don't know how to correct that. Could you add the picture for me or instruct me on how to do it.

Hi, i've seen that you reverted the edit that i made on the "Liturgy of the Eucharist" on Pope John Paul II's Funeral article. The change i made was meant to be a "softenner" of the phrase: "(when the priest says "This is my body" and "This is my blood") ". As Roman Catholic, i think that this phrase may induce followers of other religions or other non-catholics (atheits, etc)to believe in an inaccurate report of the cerimony. When the author said "the priest says" it might indicate to non-followers that the priest is reennacting Jesus' sharing of the last bread and wine to the appostles in the Last Supper. Thus, it is necessary to rewrite this passage, so non-catholics could understand better this part of the cerimony, and don't take our religion on bad accounts.

Hello,
I noticed that the Michael Howard Studios page was taken down. Please help me to understand what caused this and how to repost it correctly. The page was created very similar to a template on Stella Adler ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_Adler_Conservatory ) and was not meant to be an advertisement but an informational page devoted to the studio. The studio is the longest running private acting studio in the country, thus I believe it deserves to have a wiki page.
If you have any thoughts or recommendations for me, please let me know. It is important to me to get the page back up and running, but I want to do it within the correct guidelines.
Thank you so much in advance.

I saw in my talk page a warning about vandalism the article Greek Basketball Cup. And I wonder why, as:
The article says that the first Greek Cup took place in the year 1966 and also says that Aris B.C. and AEK B.C. won the 1966 and 1969 cups, using a Catalan Basketpedya source. That one and only (unreliable for me) source is a source, but I already put seven different official and independent sources proving that this never happened:

I am writing an informational article. The article is titled "Red Star, White Star by SPI, Inc.". Red Star, White Star (hereafter, RSWS) is/was a tabletop wargame produced by Simulations Publications, Inc. in the 1970s. A separate Wikipedia article on SPI does not mention the game title RSWS. I want to supply that information either through a separate article or by editing the SPI article to include it. I wanted to include an illustration of the playing pieces that I found on the Internet. The picture is nothing more than a few of the playing pieces arranged and photographed (close-up for detail) on the mapsheet included with the game. I haven't the slightest idea how that would be licensed or by who. Does this disqualify it for use in the article?
The deletion log lists you as the editor that killed the picture. It was titled "RSWS_Counters.jpg". If the picture is a no-go then I will merely drop the idea or just edit/amend the SPI article and not use the picture.

Deekieweekieblob is an obvious sockpuppet of the banned User:Pioneercourthouse. He created this sleeper account on August 8th, waited a week, made a few useless edits (all of which have been reverted) and then jumped to try to "test" on a Pioneer Courthouse page - where he was stopped by the filter.

Reason: This is intended to be a biography for Jim Diamond aka Mega Genius for which I have recived permission from to be his offical biographer. I would be happy to revise the biography so that it does not reflect (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion) by deleting website links changing the title to Jim Diamond instead of Mega Genius and sections of the biography. However his work is one of his personal accomplishments to be included in his biography.Deadalus821 (talk) 19:20, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I believe you nominated the image I uploaded, happyface_wallpaper.png, for deletion. Honestly, I'm not sure where Wikipedia's policy would stand on that image.

Thanks for your help on the Ravenna High School (Ohio) article. The anonymous editor has repeatedly re-added the same entry. Because I received a very angry and hateful response from Mr. Webb himself via Facebook shortly after the article on him was deleted a few days ago, it wouldn't surprise me if the anonymous editor is Mr. Webb himself or his manager User:Channing2003 who was responsible for creating the article which ended up being deleted twice (Brent A.

I don't understand why citing another city outside of the U.S. is nconstructive but having three cities within the U.S. is suitable. Because of this precedent, it would make sense to simply reduce the the final paragraph to: "There have been similar projects in dozens of other cities worldwide.[11]" as the previous two paragraphs explain the original intention.
Furthermore, the statement that you redacted was an example of a ghost bike that has remained a lasting memorial on a street whereas the previous examples were removed after a few months. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.45.171 (talk) 03:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Gooday,
Wonder if you can assist me. I see that my article recently published on the Paramount Group was deleted from Wikipedia.
I ask that it be reinstated simply because this is a major player in South African history and political history. I am willing to change the content and write it on a more subjective notice, this was not my intention to create a "promotional" page for the company.
I'm doing a thesis on this company and I will be writing a good couple of articles about this company, their involvment in communities, introducing massive global news in terms of "products" they've developer e.g. MIG fighter jets, and their specs and what they're used for.
Armoured vehicles etc etc... I would very much like your assistance here.

Hi there. I created this page a month or two back. You speedied it, but as far as I can tell, it was never tagged to allow a chance for improvement, nor was I notified as the creator of the fact that there was a problem. You tagged it as a G11, which seems inapplicable, at least as of the last time I saw the article. I'm guessing that this was all a mix-up resulting from your Huggle bender. Whatever the case may be, I'd like to see the page restored so someone else can take a look. Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 10:54, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Fastily,
This is Sean de B, author of the COLLABOR8 article which you seem to have deleted as advertising. This piece is solely designed to inform interested parties of the existance of this EU Interreg programme and is in no way designed to sell or attempt to sell any product. The COLLABOR8 programme is NOT involved in the sale of any product or service and does not, or ever will seek to charge or otherwise gain financial reward from any member of the public or any business involved in the project. On the contrary, the project will provide funding for items such as training programmes etc to be undertaken by individuals with a view to fullfilling the objectives of the project - encourage sustainable, quality tourism related businesses based on a sense of place in the 9 partner areas. As a first time user of Wikipedia, I would be very grateful if you can provide me with some guidance as to how to reconstruct this article in order to fully comply with the site requirements.SeandeB (talk) 13:13, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi
New here so please take it easy. I was creating a page for a product I am involved in so can see a conflict of interest and respect that, however I do assume that this is also easy to overcome, honesty etc. works.
The page was tagged with delete, validity etc. etc.
I started to update the page and try and remove references (it was pretty much cut and paste of some company info) when I realised the advertising look of the information. I did however want to detail what Perpetual Data is as it seems to have caught the attention of a good few folks and is technology that is very advanced in many ways and hopefully for the good.
Although it seems like conflict of interest I hold over 80% of the shares in the business that has raised over $1M in funding and these shares are to be donated to a foundation, so not self interest. Anyway it can all be easily solved I feel. This is another article I want to do and it's how to create open products and businesses for the good of all, even when having to use patents to protect small startups in the first place (I am not a patent fan when there used to stifle innovation).
So anyway I altered a lot of stuff yesterday and today went to crack away at making it more neutral and based on facts (a lot cannot be verified unless I link to patents or the likes as it is a very new technology). I went to add more info this morning and the page was deleted under me. Arghh !!
What I did not do was touch any of the tags I believe you added to the page as I was unsure how this worked, I would not have thought and auto delete was in place (I see I can add a hold on type tag now though). I did ask for help in the talk page of the article on reading your tags but this appears gone as well.
So intro is a tough one I think as it was many hours of work to update and bring it closer in line with Wikipedia and do so without upsetting folks by changing tags et.
I would appreciate if you could undelete it or give me a chance to get some help from some of you dudes to get it right in the first place.
Thanks a lot David Irvine (talk) 19:50, 18 August 2009 (UTC) PS Dont worry about feelings to much I have been on slashdot for many years so you can be to the point if yer busy, dignity goes a long way though :-)
Ohhps I should have said, what is the best way to achieve this I can write it and have others improve on it or wait till somebody who is not affiliated writes something etc. I would appreciate your advice on this.
Cheers for that, it is helpful. I understand the conflict of interest and would like to be able to handle it as I am sure that an impartial text from inventors etc. of certain things must have credence and if I can talk impartially about something I am involved in then it would help me personally to archive more in life actually. I am happy to give it a go and suffer the wrath of wikipedia editors which I hear can be pretty harsh and curt, but as long as it's logical I won't mind. I would appreciate some assistance with the editing though and to that end can you tell me if that's possible in an 'i would like to post but ..' area or is it a case of going public with the page when I think it is ready and speedily try and react to any complaints. I do not know of anyone that understands our tech (even our developers have problmes with the whole picture and there very very good) but I am sure there will be if they get a chance to read about it, lots is open source and I belive true cloud computing (no servers, log into your own data which does not actually exist, kinda thing, if that sounds impossible then perhaps an article is needed, and maybe not the one I am trying to do here) David Irvine (talk) 23:38, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

hello, you deleted my article about hd EZ lock. I posted on the article's talk page (which has since been deleted) asking for someone to help me with the appropriate changes. I also spent a lot of time trying to make sure the article was neutral and cited expert outside sources to support that this is a valid issue and a legitimate product.
I notice there are tons of articles that are product specific (vudu, playstation, xbox, etc) and I'm not sure what more I can do to include this without coming across as an advertisement.
This is my first experience here, and it's been frustrating because it seems that people are quick to delete but not willing to provide any specific points, just mentioning wikepedia article numbers and terms. I asked several times for any help, suggestions, etc and received none.
I'm not sure what I can do, but I ask that you help me out and consider reinstating my article.
Thank you!
Please leave comments on my user page, thank you
Hello Fastily,
Thank you for your reply regarding hd ez lock. I understand, but I was hoping for a little bit of more specific assistance :(
Well, I'm not sure how else I can describe the product...it seems anything less would be very vague and no one would understand what it does.
But, I guess I'll just chalk this up to a learning experience and walk away with only my time lost.

Hi, just sayin' but I don't think this is such a good idea to transfer files that are pending deletion on Commons. If you do that, you might end up having a perfectly valid file here deleted on Commons due to other interpretation of the Image policy (and people unable to find it here). Please be more careful in the future ;) (well, that file would have been deleted here to due to its copyright status anyway).

This user has posted an unblock request, but didn't get it right; I have just fixed it for him, and would (rather doubtfully) suggest giving him another chance. Shortly before you blocked him, he posted on his user page what I might call a pre-emptive my-little-brother-did-it defence and said he was keen to contribute, and I told him "If nobody vandalises from your account again, you'll be all right, but the first time it happens again you will be blocked, and blaming someone else won't help." His few edits thereafter were not helpful but were probably in good faith. The reason I'm unenthusiastic about letting him loose is because I doubt whether he is really capable of making useful contributions - I think he's probably very young - and I really don't want to nursemaid him. I'll let you (or whoever looks at the unblock request) decide. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:31, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

for the quick block work here - but I realized after gave a level-4IM that he had created all those dozen or so articles before his first warning... so while they all do need to be deleted for G11 and G12, I wouldn't be opposed to them being unblocked if they request it... just my softer side showing through on this fine Friday. 7 06:24, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
user -Keysvolume[1] is making reverts of admin made changes, one of them done by you, on - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Naxalite&action=history - here he made changes after you reverted vandalism done by one user Mehrrunnissa, who is currently blocked and is being investigated for using sockpuppets.
This user is also vandalizing my talk page, indicating that I am a sockpuppet, which he knows is untrue, as I have been cleared off being a sockpuppet. I asked him to stop, and warned that I would report him for vandalism, he did not stop. He also has gone ahead to make reverts of another admin made changes on page - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salwa_Judum&action=history - here he reverted to his own version after Someguy121 did the same as above.
Please note, both these pages are under semi-protection and were vandalised by Mehrrunnissa, who being blocked cannot undo the changes. Keysvolume is now doing it instead. He is defying community rules of addressing the issue in the talk page instead of reverting a semi protected page. I also found out that these two users are under investigation for being sockpuppets.
Thanks, Oftenhurry (talk) 20:15, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
Claim 1 by Keysvolume - .User:Oftenhurry has been placing far-left content on numerous Naxalite-related articles based on claims made by an Unreliable Source numerous Naxalite-related articles? Please prove. The only one that is Naxalite related that I edited is the Salwa Judum page. One is numerous? Lie 1 Claim 2 by Keysvolume - deceived by USer:Oftenhurry into blanking content from Neofascism and religion that I placed based on WP:Notable huh? what neofascism and religion have I entered and where? Lie 2 Claim 3 by Keysvolume - based on claims made by an Unreliable Source that is known for making anti-Semitic claims and perorations Please prove. The links you gave to JeffG's page are written by completely different people - it is not by Ramchandra Guha. You think nobody would check the references so you can put any mumbo jumbo and people would buy it. Lie 3 Claim 4 by Keysvolume - Please avoid editing on behalf of sock puppets in future Prove that I am a sockpuppet. You asked for investigation, I was cleared, if you still keep calling me a sockpuppet, you are a liar.
You are a liar the 4th time in a paragraph of 5 sentences. That shows your editing history and I am becoming more and more clear about where wikipedia stands with such "long established" editors. I for one surely would not base any of my research on Wiki ever again. I will advice others too to do the same citing these examples. Oftenhurry (talk) 14:45, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
This is getting out of hand and beyond any appearance of civility. User Keysvolume - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Keysvolume is reverting back on his talk page warning issued by you and is putting sockpuppetry charge on my page, when he has been repeatedly told that I have been cleared off any charge. He has done this on my page three times. No amount of warning and reasoning is working. What am I supposed to do? Why isn't he being blocked for slandering others when his charges have been proved to be wrong. Thank you for your help! Oftenhurry (talk) 17:48, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Another editor tagged an old British photo acquired from an archive, File:TannadicePark-1923.jpg, for speedy deletion and you deleted it.

I really must protest your indef block of Gracefaithme. A block may be justified, but indef for what is essentially a false report is excessive. If you look at the edits to Carolyn Joyce Carty, you'll notice that most of them are clumsy attempts to improve the article. This edit can hardly be called vandalism as it only removed redlinks. Likewise this edit is his/her attempt to change a reference that s/he added. And unfortunately, Jeff G. has a history of labeling stuff vandalism that isn't and filing false reports.

Ashford.com is a 12 year old company not a .com start-up, they are one of the oldest online retailers and as a result I feel they are justified to exist as a Wikipedia entry. The fact that Amazon was one of the first companies to invest in them and the fact they were among the very first companies to participate in Microsoft's eWallet technology I feel meets notability standards. They have been publicly traded and are one of the largest online watch retailers in the world by total sales distributing watches to Costco, Sam's Club and a variety other large retailers.
Nowhere am I linking to a discussion,
one is a cnet article: http://www.zdnetasia.com/news/hardware/0,39042972,13022432,00.htm
the other is a press release: http://www.gsicommerce.com/index.php/en/article/628/
As for the Chevy-volt and Giggle, those entries were spaced about a year apart and have no impact on this content, I am not sure why you are alluding to them.

Hi Fastily,
I think I may have put the wrong information on an image (Quicksmartlogo.png) I uploaded that you have questioned. But, I am a newbie and I can't figure out how to change the information or how to fix the problem.
I was going to delete the image, but I see that isn't a simple process. I understand this now as images are considered as openly usable when placed on wikipedia, just as text content is.
The image is a copyrighted image, but I have been given permission by the owners to use it in wikipedia to go with the article I am working on. In fact, the owners really want it to be used in the article. Am I able to put it in the article without going against wikipedia rules? If so, what do I need to say when I upload it so that it is clear I have permission? Also, what do I do about the existing image? Can I alter it's information so that it is accurate, or do I need to put a new one up? If the latter, how do I get rid of the old one?
I would very much appreciate your help with this. I have searched around quite a bit on wikipedia since your talk message, and I am still having trouble figuring all of this out.
Thanks,

Hi Fastily,
During new page patrol i came across the above mentioned page, and it looks as if it has been copy-pasted from a different source. Searched reveal no copyvio so i suspect it might be a copy of the now deleted article Crittenton Women's Union. Seeing that you were the admin deleting that particular article, would you happen to know if the new article is an identical copy of the previously deleted page? If so, it should probably go trough the G11 route again.

I understand the user hasn't edited since the last warning, but we have three back-to-back-to-back blocks and the same vandalism over and over. This user is clearly not going to stop just because he gets a free pass this one time. It requires a block. The user has also be vandalizing other pages today, so the vandalism is spreading.

Hi, I received a message (I think it was from you?) when I uploaded the above pic and inserted it into the Eknath Easwaran article. This is the first time I've loaded a pic, and I didn;t understand the explanation on wikipedia for how to add the copyright so I wrote in answer to the messaage - but maybe you didn't receive it? The picture is publicly available on www.easwaran.org/media where it says that it may be copied freely as long as there is a credit line to the copyright owner Blue Mountain Center of Meditation. This is what I said on the pic when I loaded it. But the copyright stuff... the copyright owner is clear, and the pic is "free" i.e. no cost, but cannot be freely copied UNLESS there is a credit line.... so does that make it "not free"? Any help you can give me would be appreciated!!! Thank you DuncanCraig1949 (talk) 18:35, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Because of your interest in images, and my lack of expertise, I'd like to make sure I'm doing something right.
I just wrote an article Women's Basketball Coaches Association, and I just uploaded a copy of their logo. I think I understand that our policy is to allow logos in limited situations when they are low resolution. As the logo is the WBCA logo, and the article is about the organization, I think one prong is easily covered.
As for low-resolution, I'm not so sure. I copied the logo from the WBCA site into Paint. I saved it as a .PNG file. The original file was 343 x 375 and 27 k. I opened the file in Irfanview, resized it to 200 x 219. I noticed an image quality option on the save menu, so I dropped the image quality to 29%. Frankly, it's not obvious that did anything, perhaps because it is a logo with solid colors.
I'm very anxious to make sure I comply with the rules, so can you let me know if I've taken the right steps to reduce the resolution appropriately, and if not, how I should proceed (keeping in mind that I only have three tools, Paint, Irfanview, and the ability to beg for help from experts - oh I have Inkscape, but I don't think that will help.) The file is here File:Wbca Logo.PNG --SPhilbrickT 00:26, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Dear Fastily, Please check my talk page, you'd see a message apparently from you, saying I have been blocked indefinitely for use of multiple id's. This was really surprising to me, I followed the page and I saw that someone,- Keysvolume (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Keysvolume) who has been vandalizing certain pages, that has been restored by me and others had bought a sockpuppet charge against me. I was cleared, as it showed no connection. This made me even more surprised at that block - I checked the edit history of my talk page and found an user with ip address (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:59.92.243.49&action=edit&redlink=1) have left that message. I think this same user has been vandalising exactly those pages that the above mentioned user was doing earlier, till he was blocked temporarily. Please take a look at my talk page, and it would be clear to you.
Also, a previously blocked page - http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Salwa_Judum&action=history, was edited by someone after a detailed point by point and in-depth discussion in the talk page. These unregistered users are vandalising and reverting without any discussion in the talk page. Could this page be put back to a sem-protect status?

Thank you very much for your help on this. I'm NOT the copyright owner of this image - copyright is owned by the Blue Mountain Center but the image is on their website www.easwaran.org/media and is available to copy and reproduce (but not modify) free of charge with a credit line to the copyright owner. That's why (while waiting for your reply) I looked some more and figured out that I ought to use the non-free fair-use categorization - which seems to fit to me? Am I correct using that?
If so, then hopefully the copyright tag I have inserted now is the correct one:
((Non-free promotional))—for publicity photographs of people or events, such as headshots or posed shots, from a press kit
Would you agree with that? And if so would you please let me know if there are any other corrections I should make, and remove the deletion notice?

Hi there,
You commented on my first RFA, and cited a lack of experience as your reason for opposing. The time since my last RFA is coming up on 3 months, which seemed to be the general timeframe that people wanted me to wait. I'm coming to you now to ask you if it would be possible for you to take another look at my edits, and see what other advice you might give to me (both in editing style, location, and experience in general). I would greatly appreciate the time that you take to do this, and I ask that you not "sugarcoat" your reply. Tell me honestly what you think is my best course of action as an editor.
Regards, MacMedtalkstalk 01:18, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, new page patrolling, which Unionhawk proposed, is certainly an area where one can make many mistakes, so it would fit the bill of my first comment in your RfA. However, I disagree with the classification of any particular area as "admin-related". All of Wikipedia is admin-related. That said, Unionhawk's advice is probably good: It's just human for voters to expect a candidate to be good in what they do themselves, and there seems to be a preponderance of voters these days in the area of new page patrolling. My own preference, though, would be if you could show experience as a mediator. — Sebastian 03:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
Note: I replied to the above before I realized that the page was transcluded. There's nothing wrong with that, but it's very unusual. I would have preferred a short message asking me to reply on this page, which would have been more transparent. — Sebastian 04:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
I personally do not care how long candidates wait before a rerun, but I always like to play it safe when actually running for something or nominating someone for something. The general wisdom seems to be to wait 6 months if the first RfA failed in uncontroversial circumstances. Now again, if you ran now, you would be more likely than not to pass, but waiting three more months will make your chances even better. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
You wrote me: --------- Hi Nowell 1011. Well, I took a look at Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation (SFFC) and, well, although improved, it still seems to have some spam/advertising-like qualities (e.g. Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation (SFFC)#Destinations, Supercat Fast Ferry Corporation (SFFC)#Fleet).

Ok, thank you very much. Does this mean the article will soon be deleted? If not re-written ASAP? I hope not, as the topic is really beneficial to Filipinos who's interested with Philippine Ships.

How come Twinkle didn't notify me on my talk page about the CSD nom for this image? You might look over some of your other noms to be sure that people were properly notified. I'm sure you keep very busy with hunting down copyvios, etc. but if you notice someone like me with thousands of contributions and a member for many years, it might be nice to drop me a note anyway. I rarely upload to en.wiki (I prefer totally free use images rather than messing around with fair use ones), and the missing template was simply an oversight. In this particular case, I was already correcting another case of copyvio and uploaded this smaller image to replace a large one that was bogusly tagged as "own work". I already had added the FUR and other details, and I wasn't aware that the FUR didn't include or infer the copyright notice. Anyway, I added it now and removed the CSD notice. I hope that was okay to do and that the image wasn't under discussion somewhere. I didn't see any notice about that. Thanks. —Willscrlt ( “Talk” ) 07:17, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. You've speedy-deleted the article about CeBIT, world's largest information technology trade fair, for "unambiguous advertising or promotion". It should have existed since at least early 2004 (that's when its interlanguage link was added to the german article) and should have had about 21 interlanguage links (again according to the german article). Just recently it has been rated "Mid-Class" for Wikipedia 1.0. I've just quickread a userspace page that I believe to be a copy of it, and yes, there are some parts that could be removed or rewritten, but are you sure it wasn't a mistake to speedy-delete the whole article about such an important topic? --YMS (talk) 19:31, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Fastily....."Low quality, unencyclopedic, orphaned, use not stated" ?

Hi.
All I am trying to do is add a link to a perfectly informative web page which conforms to the wikipedia guidelines for external links.
In my view, I was the victim of vandalism from the guy that removed the link I added.
Please just at least take a look at the content of the site I am trying to add. It features helpful instructions to skaters accompanied by informative video clips. None of this is available in the wikipedia articles themselves.
I have plenty of hits without a wikipedia link. It just seems silly to me that somebody should look up these things on wikipedia and not be presented with the information which is available on my site.
Please get back to me and let me know what you think. If there's some good reason why my site should not appear as an external link then I'd be glad to hear it.

Hi! My name is Fabrice Rouzier. After someone wrote a page about me on Wikipedia, I thought that It was a great idea to write about this a well known Haitian/American Producer, Piano player, Musician and Mix Engineering Astrel Tima. I was extremely desapointed to see that the page was deleted because like I've explained in my "talk" when I wrote "HOLDON" it's true that there aren't many Haitian super stars that are not known to the world because it's such a small country. However, when someone has contributed so much to they country being such an entity a legend, I believe that they should be remembered not just when they no longer alive. There's a reason why there are several pages on Wikipedia on Beyonce Knowles, Micheal Jackson, Wiclef Jean, Fabrice Rouzier, and more. They are people who have contributed big in the history of music, Why not Astrel Tima? Why not Nickenson Prud'homme? Why not Tines Salvant? There are several names on wikipedia such as: Jackie O,Misty Jean and more. What have they contributed to give them the right to have a page on here? As a Haitian, a music producer and a musician if you ask me, I'll say " nothing ". On the contrary, Astrel Tima is an entity and a legend and has contributed great music to not just the Haitian Music industry but the American music for the past years and he is the first Haitian/American music Producer to have crossed over both nations and still made it! I wanted to be the first to write about him. I may have not used the right format or whatever the reason may have been but I still didn't think that there was a reason for this page to be deleted. Deleting this page is more then just deleting an advertisement or publicity, like you thought it was,It's deleting history of the Haitian Society. I respect your decisions but I'm just hopping that you could see beyond that and give this a chance to be seeing by the world. I thank you for your time and may God bless you!

I am a member of this Museum (member #549R). I have sent email to the webmaster, the president of the museum and to another member I know. I have yet to receive a response to any of them. They do have a restriction on using any content from the web site without written permission. I did not notice this. I have updated the Lake Shore Electric Railway (Ohio) page, voluntarily removing the file. Once I obtain this permission, or obtain it from another source (such as a scan of a historic document with the logo); I will upload a new file.
I did hear from a co-author of a Lake Shore Electric Railway book out right now in an email I received on 11/15 (Dennis Lamont--Images of Rail/Lake Shore Electric Railway, (c) 2009, Arcadia Publishing) who told me he knew of no copyrights on the logo of any kind.

Hi, can you please un-delete the file C.W.W. Kannangara.jpg? It was deleted as an unused non-free media. The reason it was unused was a vandal edited the file name and "broke" the link.

Thanks for uploading File:Twinrova600ppx.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. Skier Dude (talk) 06:23, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

With regard to this, the file is not a speedy deletion candidate. It does not meet any of the criteria at WP:CSD#Files. You many nominate it at WP:FFD if you feel it does not meet the non-free content criteria, however it does pass the criteria you have claimed it violates. Specifically, you have said that it fails NFCC #s 3 and 8 as there is no critical commentary, however WP:NFCI allows cover art in the context of critical commentary of the item, and Oi to the World! contains critical commentary about the album. The album was released initially in 1996 with the first cover, then was out of print for several years, and has been back in print since 2000 with the completely different second cover. Criterion #3 is met because one item cannot convey the equivalent information, as the album has been released twice with two completely different covers and thus neither cover alone can accurately convey the identifying image to the reader. Criterion #8 is met because having both covers significantly increases reader understanding, as again the reader must be able to see the images to understand the visual distinction between the two completely different releases, and because eliminating either image would be detrimental to this understanding as neither cover alone accurately represents the album. Believe me, I'm in favor of getting rid of alternate covers in situations where their differences are minimal and can be explained in words alone (and have done so on several occasions), but this is not one of those cases. For recent relevant discussions on this topic see here and here. --IllaZilla (talk) 20:11, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I don't mind that there is a copy over on Commons, but this file was specifically tagged to keep a local copy. I have done this very deliberately; I cannot count the number of times I have seen images disappear from Commons without notice or warning to the original uploader. Since this image is not used in any articles anywhere on any WMF project (and it's really not good enough, it's a personal photo not a good quality one), it is at even higher risk of mysteriously disappearing. Please reinstate it here on this project, as per the tag that was in place at the time of deletion. Thanks. Risker (talk) 21:18, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm a bit surprised at your block of S2daam (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). He's one of those editors that I have always found to be a complete pain, but an indefinite vandalism block seems a bit strong. He has created articles with notability problems in the past, and the end result has always been a redirect. It looks to me like he had given up on his latest creation, decided to redirect it, and tripped up over how to handle the AFD that was inevitably going to wind up in the same place.
I'm all in favor of an indef, but I would have done it as an "indef until agrees to follow WP:N and WP:CRYSTAL prior to article creation", not as an indef for vandalism, since I haven't seen any evidence that he actively means to cause harm. All I've seen evidence of is that he doesn't quite understand the difference between Wikipedia and a fan site.—Kww(talk) 21:36, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Fastily,
Can you tell me how to edit the content that you deleted in order to have it published within Wikipedia? I have read all of the available resources regarding the creation of stubs and I have also used current published stubs as my references. My original content is below:

'''A-Prime Handling, Inc''' Located in the Industrial Park of Avon, MA A-Prime Handling, Inc. (more commonly known as "A-Prime") is a national facility service, sales and installation company for material handling products. It's core business consists of selling, coordinating, delivering, servicing and installing the material handling products that it provides as well as those already owned by its clients. Essentially moving a retailer's products from their mode of delivery to their final destination.<br>
<b>History</b>
Founded in 1977, with just two employees, A-Prime Handling, Inc. started as a pallet rack and mezzanine installation company known as Master Installers. It's founder and current company president, Michael Zelman started the company after working in the material handling industry for several years. However, the actual A-Prime Handling, Inc. enterprise did not exist until January 1990 as a result of Michael Zelman's desire to start selling material handling products in addition to simply installing them. Then, because of A-Prime Handling, Inc.'s success and increased recognition within the material handling industry, Michael Zelman decided to consolidate the businesses leaving Master Installers to fade away in 2004 and operate under the A-Prime Handling, Inc. name.<br>
Today, A-Prime Handling, Inc. is a national material handling facility service and product provider, hired by leading retailers within the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.<br>

Hi, I'm having all sorts of trouble with this. The images aren't that good actually, so I would hope to eventually replace them anyway. I have two e-mails from the director of the conservancy group.
and then today,
I don't know how to get this authorized any better than this. I have a similar flagging of an image that I tried to list as fair-use, deletion discussion here . I'm really confused about this. Is the only way for me to prove this for the conservancy group to put up a notice on their website saying their images are creative commons? That's a whole lot of trouble, and I'm not comfortable asking. I would like to use some of the renderings, especially the block plans. If you have any ideas about how I should proceed, I'd love to learn them. DaronDierkes (talk) 07:36, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

As I tried to state, I created this quite basic org. chart from the information given and from my knowledge having worked in the profession for almost 10 years.

...but I have a fair use image question that I can't decide on. I'm currently in the process of reviewing Neighbours for GA status and there are three or four other editors actively involved in bringing it up to scratch, of whom one has uploaded a variety of "through the years" screenshots of the title sequences. Personally, I'd be inclined to say the rationales are invalid but I've built up a relationship with these editors and it's not something I've encountered in these particular circumstances in the past, so I wondered if you would be so good as to take an expert look and zap them or tag them if the rationales are indeed invalid.

Earlier today, you deleted the image C&CN64.jpg because you had thought it was unused and non-free for more than seven days. While it was unused for a period of time, I put it back onto the article Command & Conquer (video game) so that it was used again. So I was quite surprised (and admittedly a bit angry) to find that it was deleted today as though I'd never fixed the problem. I suppose there's nothing for me to do but reupload the image, but I just wanted to let you know in case there was some misunderstanding of why you thought it was still unused. Thanks, -Thunderforge (talk) 01:14, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, but you've apparently deleted an image that I had uploaded and used in an article, File:Fc-04 darkseid.jpg. In the edit summary, you say that the deletion is in accordance with F5 criteria, despite the fact that the non-free media was currently being used in an article, namely Darkseid. It can be seen here that the image was being used until the ImageRemovalBot removed it. A week ago I was told that the image had been orphaned, but I was under the impression that simply adding it back per WP:BOLD was enough to keep it from being deleted in the next 7 days. Was there a step to this that I hadn't taken into account? Hopefully I can prevent needless speedy deletion in the future. Thank you. Friginator (talk) 03:06, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

You reverted my edit, saying, essentially, that it didn't appear to be a constructive edit. My change was from the statement "power is transferred matrimonially" which suggests that the royal authority is transferred by marriage. It passes from mother to daughter--matrilineally. The two words are not interchangeable, and I put the correct word in place so that the statement reads with the proper understanding. I'm afraid that I don't understand how that was unconstructive?

I think you're having an unacceptable number of false positives on the rollbacks. this edit was in no way a bad-faith edit, and yet you rolled it back and warned the user that made it.

The User:Ketabtoon who is a socket of banned User:Nisarkand, Tajikkharkuss etc. is changing facts and deleting scientific sources and push his own POVs (for example on Ghurid article), tough many Users did a lot, brought him many proofs of experts but he used always his own head.

Hiya, you deleted this file but it was actually still being used on Music of the Command & Conquer series (the red image link has since been removed) I'd be grateful if you could restore the image.
Cheers,
I added a source reference, which is my best guess of where the picture originally came from--although actually I do not know which of the many places that this picture was reproduced is the original source. Is it ok now? Thanks, CordeliaNaismith (talk) 23:08, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
An article you just removed a tag from has issues, the editor that has uploaded about eight pics, they all have issues, they are more or less all pics from a photographer and he has admitted he is not the copyright owner, I am also attempting to get them removed from commons, the editors name is User:Mr1001 .

Fastily,
I'm a member of Sigma Sigma Phi and my local chapter of the organization created this version of the image. I'm working with the National Chapter President of Sigma Sigma Phi in adding this image to the article. What do I need to do to allow this image to stay online?
Thanks,

I am a bit uncertain about the choices I have to state a usage guideline/free-use policy for the image I created. What are the best choices for an image like my organizational chart? I am also uncertain how to "tag" it once the choice is made.
It looks like GNU/GFDL or Creative Commons are the most common and preferred choices by Wikipedia. I am confused, however, by the following statement, which appears before describing the GNU choices: "NB: These licenses require reprinting the entire license text with any reuse of the image. If you created the image yourself, please consider using a different license.
Apparently, if one has created the image him/herself, as is the case with me, GNU/GDFL is not a good option, but from other descriptions of this choice, and from the usage I have seen, it seems appropriate.
Thanks for any assistance you can give.

I think that the statement from BQZip01 today on ANI: "Curtis, I'm not seeing any mountains and WVU doesn't claim that they are supposed to be indicative of them." Confirms that this is being played out as a game. If you review BQ's history, you will see that he has played the lawyerly, multi-venue, drawn out game with other editors that he has driven away. It is unfortunate that he focused on Hammersoft and/or the free use issue in this round of his fun. I would say that if the 'tireless nagging child' strategy does not work, he will shift to SPI tactics or other methods to put HS on the defensive. 74.50.125.97 (talk) 20:06, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that you have deleted File:Freedom Tower New.jpg, saying "F7: Violates non-free use policy" without it previously being tagged ((di-replaceable fair use)) or ((di-disputed fair use rationale)). Considering the recent lengthy discussion about the fair use of this image (see File talk:Freedom Tower New.jpg) and others like it, I am curious why consensus has once again been ignored. Astronaut (talk) 05:45, 25 December 2009 (UTC)
If it is so obvious, perhaps you could explain what is copyrightable about the image in question. Serifs are not. Letters are not. Mere arrangement of letters isn't. Coloring isn't. Oh, and please respond in such a manner that even a troll or someone incapable of thinking can understand (I was under the impression that administrators were supposed to be WP:CIVIL, though I note that wasn't a policy you asked me to read).
Ok, so maybe that last sentence was a bit harsh. I thought a lot about actually posting that, but in the end I decided to do it but also figured I'd throw in a disclaimer that it is intended as sarcasm to just illustrate a point, not to be harsh. Please refrain from the name calling (i.e. calling me a troll or implying that I'm an idiot simply because you disagree with me). If you just take the time to read what I've written, you'll see that I have a point and, if I'm wrong, I am confused and need straightening out. If I'm missing something that people keep repeating, then surely it should be easy to cut & paste a response. — BQZip01 — talk 11:09, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Hey. This image is still being used in the article where it was supposed to be in fair use rationale. Why delete it? I don't remove the CSD note because I am afraid that somebody may see it, and I am not an admin myself that has the right to remove CSD's. Is there any way to restore it? I have no other copy of that seal. Thanks. (Background: Jezhotwells redirected it to the main college where the institute is located, saying that it is a non-notable school, which made the image in orphan. I reverted it, saying that schools are supposed to be notable. At that time, Skier Dude tagged the file for CSD F5. Restoring the image left it remaining on the article, and I never removed the CSD note because I'm afraid that admins reserved the right to remove that.

Hello. You just deleted a couple coats of arms by Xanderliptak. He didn't request their deletion in good faith. See User talk:SchuminWeb#Deleted images. He tried before to get them speedied before, because their history shows that he originally uploaded them without the watermarks/credits plastered all over them. At the same time he upped replacements which are lower quality versions with watermarks. See example of one of the watermarked replacements. Another admin put these replacements for deletion on the basis the others (which you deleted) don't have the watermarks. So anyways, they weren't put up for deletion in good faith.

Hello Fastily. I am not sure why my page Wide Area Multilateration was deleted. I was informed that "This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article." The article simply describes a technology, much like other pages that describe technologies (see "Multilateration", "TCAS", "ADS-B"). It does not promote a company, product, group, service, or person. If it was deleted due to lack of references, please let me know as there are a number of additional ones that can be added. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.--Ludmilovna (talk) 20:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

You have left a "fair use rational" message for me, but I'm certain that the rational supplied is already more than legally adequate. The image is a screenshot of a login session to an IBM AIX host, being used in the IBM AIX article. I created the image. It's doubtful whether IBM have any copyright claim on that image whatsoever; nevertheless following the guidelines for uploading screenshots of non-free software leads one to the "fair use" template. I suspect this is probably inappropriate in this case. I will change the copyright status to GFDL-self. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thparkth (talk • contribs) 21:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
Sorry, but it's not clear that you have sufficient understanding of what we're discussing to offer advice. Of course IBM has "copyrighted the computer program" but this is not a computer program; it is an image of the output of a computer program - an image made by me. The file does not contain a "portion of the Windows OS". Again, I am the author of this image, and I have chosen to license it under the GFDL. I'm not sure how you can justify threatening to delete it as a "copyright violation". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thparkth (talk • contribs) 22:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I was perusing the admin coaching page to see if there was someone who could help me learn the ropes concerning image deletion and tagging. I was pleasantly surprised to find that you have no student at the moment and are likewise interested in the same arena. I don't have any aspirations to become an administrator, but I do want to become more helpful in cleaning up Wikipedia's large image repository, so hopefully that's not a deal-breaker. I've had to learn on my own as I've been working through the Category:Images with watermarks backlog, which has led me to dealing with ((ffd)), ((npd)), etc. as well as multiple additions to and comments on the various files for deletion logs. I am primarily interested in becoming more familiar with any tools to facilitate tagging and/or cleaning up images, adding relevant opinions to deletion discussions and locating areas/backlogs where a normal editor with wiki-knowledge and GIMP can help out.
Let me know what you think, and if admin coaching is the wrong tact, maybe you could just point me to some resources I should know about or give me some feedback on my contributions every now and again so I can become a better wikignome. Thanks, — Bility (talk) 06:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Would you consider reviewing the block on 71.77.20.26 (talk)? I believe this user started out with good intentions (removing what he considered questionable unsourced content), and think a series of misunderstandings led him down a path that led to the block and later block extension. It might be productive to re-enable talk page access and open a dialog that (with some coaching) might lead o reinstatement of editing privileges.

I am sure that Editors of Wikipedia are vastly important.
However, you (somebody) seems intent on removing the photo of my Grandmother: Sabra wheless Ballinger Stoddart from your article "William Lee Stoddart", for reasons beyond my understanding; nor is it likely that I can or will learn how to protect my upload.
By pressing this matter you will simply deprive the public of an interesting point in 1921-34 history. So be it.

I would like to license my pictures through the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL or simply GFDL), but I have absolutely no idea how to do that. They are my pictures, pictures that I have taken myself, and I am the sole owner. I have tried to license them through Wikipedia's suggestions, and have gotten confused and gave it up.
The Wikipedia instructions do not say how to license my owned pictures. They just describe what's available in the process.
I need step-by-step directions to the process, not descriptions of the directions.
Can you tell me how to do the GNU Free Documentation License easily and without complication, please? Simply the "go here, click here, type in this, insert that, etc" Csneed (talk) 20:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
May I ask you why tagging images with lack of description that do not seem to be violating any rule is neccessary. I mean many of those images are appropriately tagged with lack-of-description templates and I do not see why some of them seem to be 'original research' which I assume (sorry if I am wrong) "OR" is supposed to mean. What do you mean also by UE and LQ? I am sure that many of these have explanations and so are deletion templates really neccessary?Regards, FM [ talk to me | show contributions ] 20:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey
You recently edited the CASC page, as did another user saying he was only removing minute details. Question: why is it that details on CASC's programs are not allowed, while organizations like JSA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junior_State_of_America provide more detail but their page has not been modified?

Hi. I must have missed adding the copyright tag for this file.

I changed the speedy deletion templates you added for File:Emmawatsonfashion1.jpg and File:Rupertgrintpremiere.jpg.

Could you semi-protect Chennai and List of most populous cities in India?

I recognize that, but I cant help but be a little frustrated when I notice other pages have not received similar retribution for the same thing.

Thank you
I am sorry. I am truly sincere and honest that I have no bad intentions here. I only wanted to be an admin. I am sorry. I have not insulted anyone, I have not broken any site rules. Coffee has been harassing me and now I have a false abuse report against me. Please do not keep trying to get me banned. I was just hurt and upset at how mean and rude Coffee was to me and I got mad and lost my temper. I should not have. But I was banned and that is over. Is that not enough punishment? And for all the insults and harassing Coffee did nothing happened to him. So I do not feel this is right to punish me more for this. Please do not keep punishing me for this. I am so sorry I just wanted to be an admin. I applied and I did not do anything wrong. I am so confused now. Why is this happening? Why is there an abuse report against me when i have done nothing?

I think you should review your protection of this article. Your reason for the protection is "excessive vandalism" but NPOV violations are not considered vandalism. Additionally none of the bullet points at Wikipedia:Protect#Semi-protection apply.

Hello, Fastily, I moved Lee Jun Ki, a South Korean actor to Lee Jun Ki (actor) to make a WP:DAB because there is also another Lee Jun Ki (with a hyphen between "Jun and Ki" though). And the page was semi-protected by you for excessive vandalism, but well after I moved the page, the protection flag does not follow to the new title. And this log misleads as if I did something administrative action with the administrative tool. So I want you to remove the semi-protection from Lee Jun Ki and put the protection to Lee Jun Ki (actor) if that protection is still in need. Thanks.--Caspian blue 18:24, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed someone suggested removal of this image. This image originally had a fair use rationale based on its status as a promotional image without a replacement. The low resolution of the image, and its status as a unique image used for promotional purposes, fits the WP criteria for fair use. If this image had its original rationale removed, I was not aware of it. I would suggest greater caution in the future before removing such images, and would also suggest checking the history of the image to make sure that fair use rationale was not present at some point in the past. The image was properly referenced and its copyright status was listed. Again, the image had fair use rationale, but it may have been removed via vandalism or some other action.

I thoroughly disagree with your accusations that the pictures are of an advertisement basis... I am a Senior History major and have a talent, as I have a professional photography business, I publish these images to show my gift...
Also, your rationale is this I presume: Mere collections of photographs or media files with no text to go with the articles. If you are interested in presenting a picture, please provide an encyclopedic context, or consider adding it to Wikimedia Commons. If a picture comes from a public domain source on a website, then consider adding it to Wikipedia:Images with missing articles or Wikipedia:Public domain image resources.
If this is true, I will add an article SPECIFIC to Alumni Hall and re-add the images, (because then the collection of photographs from different seasons WILL apply to the text). I believe they already do, but if you say they do not, then I will edit this for you.

Your use of abbreviations at FFD is really off-putting, both for newbies and not-so-newbies.
Since you're presumably using a script anyway to generate these, could you change it to spell out "Unencyclopedic", "Orphaned", "Low Quality" etc ?
It would make your contributions to the page a lot easier to understand. (And the usgase in particular of "OR" when what you mean is "orphaned" rather than "original research" is beyond perverse).

I just logged in an saw the notice you left about the lack of licensing information and resulting deletion of File:WhirledLogo.png - what does Wikipedia require as far as licensing information - what do I need to add that I left out? I think I labeled it as a non-free logo, and that there was, as a result, no free alternative, and that it was not too high-resolution. I'm pretty sure it already had the things you mentioned as reasons, so why was it deleted? The source was the blog of a Three Rings employee - I believe I said that looking at the upload logs, I definitely included that info. I included a non-free use rationale, and all the things the Help documents said I needed to include to comply with licensing and copyright law, at least as far as I know. Where did I go wrong? I would like to either re-upload the file with all the required information or get the deletion reverted, since it was used in the infobox of Whirled. I'm just a little confused as to why it was deleted - Please, don't get me wrong; I don't blame you, as I understand you're just trying to enforce the rules. I understand completely that it was probably done with good intentions. It's just, why was it deleted, and why did nobody notice the issue for the past year and a half that it's been there?

Greetings, I originally posted the article on Autodesk Inventor which you deleted on 1/3/2010. I am unclear as to what about the article was considered to be blatant advertising. For example, in comparing the article for Autodesk Inventor to, say, the article for Final Cut Pro, they read very similarly to me, a description of features and revision history, etc. Yet, Autodesk Inventor has been deleted while Final Cut Pro is considered fine. Can you please help me understand what needs to be changed about the original article in order for it to be re-posted without being deleted again? Also, I'm hoping I can get access to the page in order to make the necessary edits.

I'd like to understand why you felt the need to delete the page OfferMe.
This page merely described the website and it's features. There was no positive spin to it and it was just as promotional as Groupon.
I first created the article in my userspace - see OfferMe. I received no negative comments and so published the article.

As a man from a copywriting background, I might have a different view to you, as I did not find this content at all promotional. Is it because OfferMe isn't of eBay proportions that a Wiki article can't be dedicated to it?

Please see my comments here. I really don't understand the point of these kind of nominations. You must know by now that almost nobody else agrees with the idea that we should delete images which could be at all useful on Commons. It would be ten times easier to add ((move to commons)) and there wouldn't be the chance the image would be deleted by the overzealous. Angus McLellan (Talk) 01:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
Greetings Fastily. You previously weighed your opinion about Stifle's deletion request of File:FFVI characters on airship.png involving licensing.

Could you explain these edits? Why was the tag you removed the wrong tag? The editor who added the image claimed on the copyright form to have the permission of the author, but had not submitted any proof of the permssion. I was told on Wikipedia:Media_copyright_questions that this was the right tag to add under those circumstances, and that seems logical to me.
Has the editor who uploaded this image supplied the required proof of permission in the interim?
Also, it appears that this image is an orphan.

We want to insert this image into Razzia in Sankt Pauli. We "lost" the image and have been talking to SkierDude about how to adjust sizes. In the mean time you deleted it. If its gone, we can replace it. We are learning as we are going. If we make a mistake please be patient.
As you are an administrator we have a question on autolinks which don't work.
On the related page Justin Rosenfeld, there are dead links which got put in automatically to Births 1901, deaths 1947 and German producers in all of which Justin Rosenfeld does NOT appear. Similarly, while Razzia in Sankt Pauli is listed in German films of 1932, it does NOT appear in Weimar Films list.
Can we remedy this? or do you have other suggestions.

Hi, I noticed that you've been IFD-ing a lot of free images. This may be considered disruptive; please stop doing it and seek advice from the community.
Many of the images you are IFD'in seem to be compatible in licensing terms with both Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, which is why they were in some cases tagged for Commons Move.
Tagging them for IFD, seems somehat WP:POINTy, especially when in a large number of cases the issues could be trivally resolved by talking with the uploader or doing some homework.

Hi Fastily
I wish to request the removal of a mistaken warning from you that arrived in my Inbox today.
My changes to the Wiki page mentioned in the subject field above are in fact not disruptive whatsoever. After being relentlessly attacked by SimonP, a Toronto resident and clearly biased contributor, I explained succinctly on the talk page what was occurring: I have broken NO Wikipedia guideline and I have NOT attacked other candidates by posting negative or irrelevant information on their bios. I have sought only to prevent SimonP from attempting to sway the electorate (in clear violation of Wiki rules) by posting 2006 election results that are already easily accessible by the links I have provided in my edits. I will simply not allow the candidate's 2006 last-place finish to be flaunted on a Wiki page intended to illuminate the 2010 campaign. SimonP writes ungrammatically (the changes also make no sense), he has demonstrated zero neutrality in this matter and he now wishes to block me from editing in order to continue posting biased information: if you check the Talk page, SimonP actually posted "the truth is that State is a fringe candidate with no chance of winning", a clear subversion the bedrock of the entire Wiki concept -- the democratic process.
I am not in violation of any Wiki rule. All I have done is to annoy a self-promoting Wiki administrator overstepping his protocols on an election page. I request a removal of the warning and an end to the edit war: please instruct SimonP to leave Mark State's bio alone.
Thank you, Hezbollatte (talk) 18:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
I noticed you've been referring vandal reports to AIV (makes sense). Being new to the vandal patrol game, I'm a bit unsure as to what I should be reporting to AN/I and what should go to AIV.

Could you please expand on your reason for "improper license" for the Black Sabbath picture. It's a picture of a poster that is owned by Allen Pamplin, who emailed it to me. It was produced by a company "Rainbow Posters" which is no longer in existence. Allen Pamplin is the owner of the Califorina Jam Fan Club. I guess I'm at a loss, because the company no longer exist the picture is non-useable? A picture taken of a poster is non-useable? FYI,(respectfully) this all started with the picture on the main article page of Black Sabbath with the caption stating "this is Black Sabbath on stage at California Jam" the is clearly not of them "at" the California Jam. The artical was talking about the band involvement and the other acts at the festival.

Yakudza19 worked a lot on this article (and several other linked: International Karate Association, Gosoku Ryu...). He added references, listed ranks, started to list film roles and added books. He added some facts of biography with references on sources. This is important work. Yakudza19 is not vandal, rather a novice and blocking him indefinitly is too strict. The work on this article is continuing (Yakudza19, me and several other people) not only on en-Wiki (ru-Wiki, pl-Wiki, etc).
You blocked indefinitely Yakudza19 (read only DAJF unprooved occusation in vandalism and copyvio), didn't explained the reason of blocking, you didn't warned him and blocked his IP. Now a person, who knows the materials well (I mean Yakudza19, I know he read a lot of sources) cannot write an article. Sometimes I have to use the same IP (proxy), so I cannot edit on en-Wiki too. Please, respect rules of Wiki: 1) you should explain blocking reasons, 2) you should unblock if he use shared IP with other editors.

Hi Fastily,
Obviously I'd like to keep the picture of the button, but I certainly understand your concerns. I think it would be helpful to reproduce the email corrspondense I had with the Louisville Atheists and Freethinkers who are selling the button in question.
The group's representative says that she recieved permission to use a graphic which she then utilized in a derivative work, the button. She then states that we can use a picture of her derivative work under Fair Use copyright exemptions. I then went further and cut the resolution from 400x400 to 200x200 so further derivative works based on the wikipedia file would be unlikely (it's included in the Christ myth article at 170x170 and I'd be happy to edit the source file down to that lower resolution if it would help matters).
As for the picture failing Criterion 8, well, I grant that the article wouldn't be incomprehensible without the picture. But, then again, most movie articles wouldn't be incomprehensible without fair use inclusion of copyrighted movie posters. In both cases though the articles' aesthetic value and accessability are greatly increased by the inclusion of these files. What do you think?Eugeneacurry (talk) 21:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
I am sorry for the late notice, but I just realized that you should have informed the image being put up for deletion since you deleted the image after the disputed fair use rationale expired and then reverted that deletion.

While your indef blocking of CaptainPickles certainly handled that account, is it true that if it was a sock of Tombaker321 that would still be a serious matter (of block evasion)?
Excuse my ill-informed questions, I have not dealt with the sock issue before (although I did help block a dynamic ip a couple of times).

Thanks Tomiwoj
Are you really trying to claim that any Wikipedia content can be copied anywhere without attribution? Woogee (talk) 00:05, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Fastily, in reading through the information and guidelines you sent to me I still have questions.
In part I found the following:
If you do write an article on an area in which you are personally involved, be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias. Neutral point of view is one of Wikipedia's five pillars.
My claim that this article should be legitimately allowed are:
The guidelines for which you sent me links noted that writing about something one is connected to is "Discouraged" not "Forbidden", and it went further to say that if the above guidelines were adhered to an article could be written and included in the Wikipedia.
I am affiliated to a degree with the subject of the article (L. Cedeño), but not to a degree to which I want to promote his work. I think the notability of the artist in question ads to the quality of the music entries on Wikipedia and I believe the article will expand due to the fact that the artist is involved with other notable projects.
I did take the photo. I also altered it for the record label which L. Cedeño owns and the image I created was used for the album cover. I receive no remuneration for the article nor do I use it for gratuitous promotion. Originally the artist did not ask me to write this article. During the course of the discussion about the article I have been in contact with him and today while going over the issues at hand he entered information through my account that we both thought would alleviate the questions. It would appear that the information (permission to use a photo) created more confusion as it now seems the community believes I am the author and the subject. This is not the case.
Is there a way through this that you can prescribe so that this artist and the album can be included in the Wikipedia?
Thanks.

Your bot deleted image file File:AFFSC 01a.jpg because it lacked necessary licensing info. That image was originally uploaded with all required licensing info. In fact, it's Public Domain image from U.S. Air Force—photo 070914-F-8155K-282.jpg. Don’t know what happened to Wiki-image page to remove licensing info, but it was probably some kind of vandalism. Can you please restore image. I'll be glad to add back licensing info, but it would be easier to do that from original image page vs uploading entire file again. This is second time I've made this request.--Orygun (talk) 19:29, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

I see you deleted File:Kurt Gödel.jpg on the grounds that it had no fair-use rationale. Probably this was the correct action, technically. But surely the rationale is routine — the man is dead; there's no way to get a free-licensed shot of him now. Can we undelete and add the rationale? --Trovatore (talk) 08:46, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
I would like to ask you take a look at user user:C.Kent87's activities on the Mestizo page (the point is taken as far as me and "personal attacks"). User C.Kent87 has twice deleted an entire section of academic references in the "Criticisms" section because he doesn't agree with them on a personal level. This compromises Wikipedia's integrity because it is blatant censorship-by-deletion. In speaking with him, he made it abundantly clear that he identifies with the Spanish racial caste system ideology. To me that is fine. But he has no right to wholesale delete other people's work, especially if it is academic in nature and with references. To me, this constitutes vandalism. He made no effort to discuss the issue in the Discussion page prior to such deletions. As an aside, the "mestizo" race label in question is not an official Census term and has been thoroughly discredited by biologists, anthropologists, sociologists, et. al. So it isn't like we are talking about the Periodic Table here. Such an historical ideology should be open to academic information that is critical of the tenets it has professed (i.e. the supposed "racial purity" of the Spanish race). I find user C.Kent87's attempts to feign innocence interesting, considering that his biggest contributions thus far to the article have been to delete other people's work. By contrast, I do not take such a scorched-earth approach to content that I do not agree with, and I have left intact the great bulk of the article, opting to instead add a "Criticisms" section. Say what you will about my personal attacks "off stage", but I do not engage in censorship-by-deletion. It bears repeating once again that the article in question is not a scientific certitude. It is a 16th century "racial purity" ideology. It needs to be explained, not censored. Dropmeoff (talk) 15:23, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello Fastily, I'm a bit astonished at what you did at File:Ikorta church.JPG ([33]) and in a few parallel cases. The lack of FoP in those countries obviously comes into play only with modern building, where the architectonic design is still copyrighted. Historic buildings like these medieval ones are of course free to take photographs of, and thus the images are easily replaceable. Besides, even if the buildings were copyrighted, we would still not accept photographs of them where the photographer's part of the copyright is non-free; they would be replaceable with images where the photographer has released their work as free, even if we'd still have to invoke FU on the architect's part of the copyright.
Would you mind me doing the deletions now, or would you do them yourself? The case seems, frankly, quite clear to me. Fut.Perf. ☼ 19:13, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
Please reconsider your deletion. If you give me a little time, I will improve and add links to appropriate citations in other reference works to this on-line community, and it's newsworthiness.

Hi Fastily
I just wanted to discuss the deletion of my article, I think it provides a fair and impartial description of the company and is certainly no more of an advertisement than, for example, Kuoni Travel. In fact it is extremely similar in terms of what information it includes. If there is any text that you believe sounds promotional then perhaps you could edit it rather than delete the whole article. It should not qualify for speedy deletion under G11 as "simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion."
In terms of notability it is as notable as many of the other companies on Travel agencies and holiday companies of the United Kingdom
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
Thanks

Hello Fastily, please explain why you think you should be deleting peoples work just like that. Articles are not created in a matter of seconds and reading and studying the guidelines and pages of texts takes some time too. This information was requested by many people around the world and is not an advertisement of any kind. I kindly ask you to put it back or give me a good and clear answer as to why you deleted it. Please see an article about Konstantin Scherbakov (father of Alexander Scherbakov) on Wikipedia. Who are you and people like you to decide which of these artists "deserves" to be on Wikipedia and which one not? Are you a classical music critic? Have you personally attended the concerts of either artist to decide that AS is not worthy of a page on Wikipedia when KS is?

I have recently viewed and attemted to edit an article written by Steve Dickinson. You have decided it wasn't constructive? Why? It is a more accurate account of what transpired in this area a few years ago. This man has NO EVIDENCE for his claims.
He has been jailed once already for Fraud or similar, in that case he left adventure tourists around the world without support.
Perhaps you are correct, A warning isn't constructive unless you are attempting to prevent the further perpetration of fraud or the making a mockery of a supposed reputable encyclopaedia. Or at lleast offering an alternative opinion. I thought encyclopaedia's were full of Fact not self-delusion at best, Fraud at worst. I wonder if legally you are complicit in any way, because herein you have been notified but decided not to investigate furtehr-just a thought Have you not noticed he cites his own works continually. Works as i mentioned that have NO PEER REVIEW. It's tending to reinforce one idea by spreading it through the literature without any corroboration. Some poor kids doing their history homework would accept these factoids without question until a generation from now ther was a roman fort at st pat's birthplace, Urswick. If you would like to send me the text i suggested with some specifics on why it is not constructive, or what parts are not constructive, then i can decide how to proceed. Here's a good word-integrity-do wiki have it, or enough of it, to actually investigate entries, particuarly when doubts are raised to their validity.Still, never let the truth get in the way eh?

Hello-
You deleted a stub I was starting for TSPTALK.COM, citing that is was spam or advertising. that is not the case. The website cited meets Wiki criteria for publication. I have drafted a start- so that you may judge for yourself. Here is the text I am trying to begin:
'''TSPTALK'''
TSPTALK is a web communications bulletin board established by former IRS Computer Specialist Tom Crowley. The topic of the board is a discussion group surrouding the investment of Thrift Savings Plan retirement funds by federal workers.
Established in 2004, it became a leading center of investment learning and information for Federal employees, retirees, and military members.<ref>http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/1106/110206pb.htm</ref> Federal Employees share discussions of investment strategies, allocation theories, and compete on a member invented tracking listing showing daily returns. TSPTALK.COM first appeared in major Government employee press article in a November 2006 article published in GOVEXEC.COM.<ref>http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/1106/110206pb.htm</ref>
Since that time, the number of participants has grown, and people learn differeing investment stypes and strategies. Web tracking shows an average of rougly 9 thousand people a day visit. <ref>http://www.quantcast.com/tsptalk.com</ref>
TSPTALK members are known as TSPTALKERS, and post a wide range of information, everything from investment chart theory, to political commentary.
The website became controversial in 2007 and early 2008, when the FTRIB (Federal Thrift Retirement Investment Board) cited frequent reallocation of savings by members of the group, and issued a ban on trades of more than 2 moves per month. TSPTALK members responded by creating a petion and submitted more than 4,000 signatures opposing the move. <ref>http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0408/042408ar1.htm</ref> However, the Board limited moves despite shareholder opposition, and as a result, issued changed to Federal Regulations.
The site can be found at the web address htp://tsptalk.com[2]

Hello Fastily,
When you granted me the Rollbacker role, you asked me to warn you should I no longer wish to use it. That gave me the idea of searching a sample of the account listed as Rollbackers and founded that a significant number of them are no longer in use.

The four of them are still listed as legitimate Rollbackers.
Should their privilege be removed ?
I can search the list and return you all of them over a certain threshold (inactive for 9 months or +). I can do it with simple shell scripts and do not have to search them manually.

Both are featured quality over on commons, and one could probably be featured over here. However, we are not sure how the licence tag Template:PD-RU-exempt fits in. It excludes the anthem from copyright, but it is a recording on a CD. We don't want to upload to commons if it in fact does not meet these criteria. What is your take?

Andrea Ritter (talk) 17:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC) Please review the editing I have made this morning on the page WORLD WAR II FICTION which was under deletion threat for SPAM? The change I have made to my Andrea Ritter, author, page and the World War II Fiction page, is to combine all into a new page that I called Sunflower of the Third Reich, A Novel This work took me 5 years of research and writing, and I do not consider it SPAM. Perhaps, since I am new to Wikipedia and its guidelines, I was not successful in creating a neutral, fair listing of my title. This time, I have included evidence such as Library of Congress number, ISBN number and publication year. I own the copyrights. I would like to add a picture of the titel page but perhaps that would be too difficult to do or else it might be construed as advertisement? I really appreciate your assistance on my page in the hope that it will be included as a Wikipedia listing. Thanks, AR Andrea Ritter (talk) 17:29, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
I only seem to come here when I have a question so I suppose it's not really a surprise that I have another one, but hopefully it's not a completely stupid one. I was wondering about the image used in Brian Burridge, namely File:Burridge.jpg. I believe a non-free image cannot be used in a BLP because it's considered replaceable, but I was wondering if the rules were any different for Crown Copyright and if the use in that article is in compliance with the policy. I ask because I've written a similar article on another British military officer and know of a Crown Copyright image of him but I was under the impression I couldn't use it on WP. If you could clear that up for me, I'd be very grateful! All the best, HJ Mitchell | fancy a chat? 19:23, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Looks like Closedmouth deleted and then restored the Atlassian page. Then you deleted it again. Just wondering why? I saw your explanation, but that doesn't explain it. Afterall, companies from Sony to Jive Software have Wikipedia listings, why not Atlassian?
I work for Atlassian, I've been updating the page here and there for the last four years, and I'm confused/miffed/upset it was deleted. If the issue was that some pieces were too salesy, then those parts could have been modified. Please let me know why it was deleted and if/how we can restore it.

About a month ago, you declined an unblock request that I believe I properly completed. Your grounds were that you believed that I still did not know that the reason I was unblocked. This seems odd given that I gave almost the same request previously, and the administrator believed that my understanding was there but was reluctant to unblock me because he/she (mistakenly) believed I used a sock puppet. The main difference between those two requests is that the last one included an explanation that I never used a sock puppet. My explanation was ultimately accepted and I was unblocked.
Though I was surprised to see your answer considering I had taken each and every step necessary as per WP policy (namely, Appealing a block), what I had taken issue with you was regarding your conclusion that I was canvassing. There is no truth to that. As I explained, my first request was too long and never read in the first place, the second one was declined not on the basis of my appeal but as a result of misinformation, so I thought it appropriate to make a last and final appeal that correctly that briefly explains one of the incidents. I did not email you asking to unblock me; I emailed you because the extension of the block to include my talk page was unjustified. I believed I was clear in my message but for the record, I was just addressing the extension of the block that I kindly asked to remove, not the block in general as it seemed you thought I was asking per your response on my talk page.
In any case, though we may disagree, I appreciate your taking the time to have read and at least consider my appeal and my subsequent message. I respect you as an administrator and the insight you have to offer. --Shamir1 (talk) 01:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Reply: This is not a redundant file as stated in your deletion intent message. Moreover the file serves as a direct source of information for Wikipedia articles where this information could not be made available without the availability of a permanent PDF file that is now unavailable elsewhere on wikipedia. Therefore, this file is not available elsewhere in the PDF format as incorrectly stated here. Because the file is needed for quick reference use in several Wikipedia articles and should not be deleted. Please do not delete file. Furthermore there are several problems often encountered on Wikipedia in the books sectionm with converting the XML files to the correct format and with correct content as in the assembled PDF document provided.

I just discovered that the article for Runbox (an email service provider) has been deleted for "unambiguous advertising" after having been marked for speedy deletion by what appears to be an anonymous user.
This was somewhat surprising since the article was previously accepted by another administrator and had, to my knowledge, not been changed since. In any event I was not notified by email when this happened and therefore missed the chance to contest the decision.
I regret that the article was no longer found to meet the Wikipedia standards, although it was properly referenced with independent sources and modeled after other, similar articles on established email providers.
Since Runbox is verifiably a notable email service provider (see e.g. http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/run030405) I would appreciate a chance to correct or recreate the article, adhering to the Wikipedia guidelines and in a consise and objective manner.

Why couldn't you have the common decency to make inquiries? Nope. Some other jobsworth hung up a Feb 4 tag, and more incompetent jobsworths failed to process my correspondence, and now you can carve another deletion notch on your keyboard.

Dear Fastily,
I saw you deleted a screenshot i uploaded of GoodSync. I'm new with uploading images. Could you help explain / show me a page of what screenshots are allowed? PizzaMan (talk) 10:20, 5 February 2010 (UTC) PS i've now made my own snapshot and saved it as a PNG file. Is this legit? 20px
Please delete all the low resolution pictures you found at the end; those are the first I uploaded and are no good at all. But I see with some you put a "copy to Commons" candidate thing on them; which I understand is where i should have uploaded them in the first place; also did you mean by lacking copyright that I was supposed to upload them under Public Domain or GNU instead of CC 3.0 some rights reserved as I did; cause I have no problem with them being public domain. Daniel Christensen (talk) 20:18, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
It would help if you explained that this file has been nominated for deletion as a duplicate of File:Aerial antenna.JPG, although I don't see any such active nomination. However, although it is a worthy task to remove such duplicates, and indeed, copyright violations from this encyclopedia, I am concerned that your invocation of process to do this is sometimes suspect (in that removing images from articles as "unencyclopedic", and then tagging them thereby as orphaned, is a deliberate attempt to bypass normal routes for consideration of the merits of images that users post here. In this, I am also worried by the actions of User:Aspects in this regard. Let me just say this; when I first began editing here, and adding images to articles, I learnt the hard way, and quickly got used to our policies, and followed them. Since then, as an Admin myself, I've seen over-zealous admins lose not only their Bot privileges, but also their Admin bit. I cannot disagree with the block of your alternate account, because at least it should have given you clue that your actions, although perhaps correct within the rules, might be seen as a deliberate attempt to bend the rules and also flood WP:FFD and user talk pages with fait accomplis. I find this inimical to the purpose of a collaborative, although free, encyclopedia, and urge you to reconsider your approach before this reaches WP:RFC or WP:ARBCOM. I don't currently have the time to collate the full picture, but if I need to, I shall find it. Rodhullandemu 01:05, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, just wondering about your view that File:Detial COlo-new-new.jpg should not be tagged with ((npd)) because it is sourced. But I don't see any source indicated. The uploader claims that he is the copyright holder and has released the image into the public domain, but the image itself is an architectural drawing and has the sentence "Please register to remove this text" at the top left-hand corner, suggesting it has been ripped from a website. Furthermore, the uploader has a history of uploading images under a PD licence without properly establishing that he or she is the copyright holder (see "User talk:Dacial" – the other images have been speedily deleted). In fact, "Detial COlo-new-new.jpg" is very similar to the other architectural drawings "File:Interior COlo-new-new.jpg" and "File:Grotto Entrence-new-new.jpg" that have already been deleted. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 04:29, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey. Thanks for the notice on my talk page that you reverted the edit I made to the Tax return (United States) page. I disagree with your assessment that the edit was "unconstructive" and thought the guidance to leave an "informative edit summary" was particularly asinine. The sentence I deleted was "The forms have been described by BBC journalist Greg Wood as "a work of outstanding complexity" and having been "compiled by a cunning, but ultimately stupid, specialist in the art of torture."" I left the edit summary: "Editorializing on the "stupidity" of tax return forms isn't very encyclopedic." -- and I meant it. The statement is clearly hyperbole and I expect any reader would understand that, but it's neither true nor fair and seems out of place in the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. Certainly there's a reason to talk about how tax forms have been received in popular culture, but I'm suspicious that the head of the article is the place for it.
I resent being treated like a vandal and being lectured to do the very thing that I'd just done. I don't know if you're running a robot or if your talk page comment was just templated and unconsidered, but I wish you'd think harder about your comments.

The copyrighted images of inanimate objects do not fail WP:NFCC#1. Per the non-free content criteria. They cannot be replaced since many are of vintage Second World War era photos that are in private collections. You also tagged images that were entirely created by myself, or I had permission to use. Those with permission had it stated in the photo info. These photos illustrate markings on the Julleuchter, use of the Julleuchter by the SS and modern originations, and the slave labor workers that were forced to create these items. I am now forced to try and undo your butchering of the article. I intend to go and address all the tags that you created on the photos that are used in the Julleuchter article, as well as the rest that you tagged. For example you tagged the images in the Havic: The Bothering article which were created by me. I took photos of my cards and the box that they came in to show the reader of the article what would be difficult to describe.Nicholasweed (talk) 23:50, 07 February 2010

Hi Fastily! Thank you for your message. The above image had left me with the impression of that it had been either watercolored or in any case highly modified, which was why I did not upload the equivalent in Commons, where in any case there is a nearly identical image of the same waterfallls.

The image at File:Annulus-applied-to-metamaterial-cloak.gif, which I recently uploaded is acceptable under NON-free fair use, and I have such a template added to the image. I gave a detailed explanation following Wikipedia guidelines for Non-free fair use. As far as I can tell there is no information missing on its copyright status if you read the content that is part of this image. This also falls under that which is allowed by the "Fair Use" (sections 107 and 108) of the US Copyright law. At the moment it appears that you made a good faith error.

As you can clearly see, I have written that the author allows the images to be used as long as both he and the publisher are credited. I don't know, however, which tag fits that. RM (Be my friend)
The problem is, Both are extremely long list, and I know nothing about things like "Creative commons attribution this and that". I definetely won't be able to finish today. RM (Be my friend)
Actually, I read the author's conditions which he/she posted along with the photographs, so I already know that he allows use of the image as long as you credit Anuj Chopra, the brave photographer who snuck into the city as a tourist and snapped off photos with a concealed camera, and ISN Security Watch, who published the photo.

Fastily, I note that you indeffed Megh10 (talk · contribs) for vandalism. Was this the repeated recreation of Danielle campbell?
I'm not saying that there was anything wrong with the block, but per the thread at WP:AN#Danielle campbell it seems that the subject of the article may meet WP:ACTOR. I originally thought that user:Woogee had posted the request, and gave him some advice on his talk page - This is a little bit out of my area of knowledge, but if Danielle Campbell is the star of a new Disney movie the she probably meets WP:ACTOR. You have two chances here - either write an article in a user sandbox, or start it at the article incubator. Either way, once the article is in a fit state for transfer to mainspace, there is WP:DRV to get the salting of the title undone. A well-prepared article that meets WP:ACTOR, WP:V, WP:CITE etc will have a good chance of making it to mainspace. If you need help in creating a personal sandbox give me a yell.
Would you be prepared to unblock Megh10 if they agree to work on an article in either a personal sandbox or at the Article Incubator, and then go through DRV when the article is ready for release? Mjroots (talk) 07:25, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Please take a moment to read the detailed and reasoned discussion on the talk page, in particular the section Talk:History_of_BBC_television_idents#Images before powering in and removing images wholesale within 30 seconds of hitting the article.
This is an article specifically on the history of the BBC on-screen visual identity -- a topic well worthy of encyclopedic attention in an encyclopedia which is as important a source on popular culture as this one.
I am as aware of the NFC policies and the underlying rationales behind them as anyone. But let me draw your attention to the key phrase: non-free content is only used "if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic". That is our underlying goal here: to increase reader's understanding, about the topic they have looked up.
These images squarely pass that test. This is an article about these very images. Showing what they look like directly adds to reader understanding, squarely on the topic. Just as eg in our survey article on modern art, we show what modern art looks like.
The use is selective - far from all possible images are shown; and in detail the use of particular images has been discussed on the talk page, including by Black Kite (talk · contribs), who is no slouch when it comes to a restrictive interpretation of WP:NFC.
I have therefore reversed the wholesale removal. If you wish to discuss the use or not of particular individual images, please be very welcome to do so on the talk page. Jheald (talk) 15:11, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Hello! i'm just correcting the articles about Aosta valley. Please, before deleting, pay attention to the fact that : - The name of the inhabitants in italian are incorrected for all the toponyms excepted for Aosta, which has a double version (italian-french); - All the coats of arms have been deleted from wiki:it because of copyright violation. The ones I have inserted have been designed for the wiki:fr and they are free ; - I have deleted the part "shield_alt" in the infobox, and inserted "shield_size" in order to correct the dimension of the coat of arms, as in the infobox of Aosta/Aoste. - Every commune in Aosta valley has a double version "Comune di..."/"Commune de...", which must be inserted, as for "Città di Aosta"/"Ville d'Aoste", because they are both official (for the two german-speaking communes of Gressoney-Saint-Jean and Gressoney-La-Trinité, the third version "Gemeinde Gressoney..." is official too).

Hi Fastily, I hate to nag, especially since you've often helped me out, but was it really necessary to leave 21 separate CSD template warnings for Wikiwoohoo? These things are quite unsightly, take up a lot of room on a talk page and all say exactly the same thing. Since nobody needs to read the same message 21 times in a row, might I respectfully suggest that you drop the template once and then manually list all the images/pages of concern below.

You deleated the Harrison Thomas LaTour page, a descendant of an African Creole confederate soldier. Can you tell me why. An African American person of descent joining a national organization that is known for racial issues is notability. Also, this is black history month, and you have a current event. Harrison Thomas LaTour is the only African Creole descendant registered in the State of Oklahoma as a Sons of Confederate Veterans. We feel that you have been racist in your decision to delete this page.
Lgc2010 (talk) 16:22, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
The page was full of references and sources. It had a reference to Harrison Thomas LaTour speaking at a Historical Society meeting, it had references to Harrison Thomas LaTour requesting to have a street named, it had genealogical and historical data attacked to it. It also had reference to President Obama honoring Black Confederate Soldiers. Instead of deleating the article, User talk:Fastily should have helped to improve the article.

Harrison Thomas LaTour is a French Creole descendant of a Louisiana African-Creole Confederate Soldier, who has just been recognized as a member of the Sons of Confederate Soldiers. I still believe that this user, because of the French relationship to thier knowledge may have been racist.

Re your comment:
"I just blocked 86.179.106.212 (talk · contribs) as a sock of Sumbuddi per an AIV report independent of this SPI investigation."
Trouble is that AIV report is not really independent, as it comes from User:Editor 410 a newly registered, but clearly vastly experienced user, who I suspect to be a sockpuppet of User:Wiki libs, who was previously indefblocked for massive sockpuppeting, following a report by User:Sumbuddi. Which is a rather neat circle, isn't it?
Details here: [47]
So it would probably be most accurate to say that that AIV report is not independent of this SPI investigation at all, in fact previous false reports by the same user, which now form the basis for subsequent claims of block evasion, are the proximate cause of this SPI. The details are in the SPI page. 86.180.169.62 (talk) 19:56, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Fastily, as I previously posted in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Sumbuddi if you look at 86.179.106.212 Contributions all he's been doing is defending himself there and on the User:talk pages of the parties involved -- although some of the edits by Sumbuddi on his own talk page are somewhat dicey, it's not like he's vandalizing (or even editing) articles or other people's User pages...

Dear Fastily, I think you might be over-interpreting the US copyright law with respect to old anonymous photographic material. The work in question was created prior to 1923 - the subject matter proves this. It was subsequently published in 1938 in a European magazine. I believe therefore that in both US and European law, the image is in the public domain.

Hi,
You recently deleted the Reverse 911 page. REVERSE 911(r) is NOT a generic term although it is sometimes used as one. Much like Kleenex and Coca Cola, it refers to a specific product owned and trademarked by one company.
I work for the company that owns and actively patrols the trademark for REVERSE 911(r). I was reading some of the links here and, after discussing the matter with our Legal department as well as the Marketing VP, we would like to request that the page for REVERSE 911 be locked so that no one can create a page for it.
Is this something you can do for us or can you direct me to someone who can assist me?
Should you need to reach me, I would be happy to supply my name and contact information but I hesitate to post it here.

Thanks for uploading File:Nightmarebeforexmas200px.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

Fastily, added new photos you might want to consider for the Commons at Rufus M. Rose House, Baltimore Block, and on National Register of Historic Places listings in Fulton County, Georgia. Question, too: If you look at the Rufus M. Rose House page, last external link, you can find a 1903 picture of the house. I know this is before 1923 copyright restrictions, could this photo be added to the page? It would be a great addition, showing what the house originally looked like. I tried to link the photo to the page, bypassing the copyright issue, but cannot figure out how to do that (or to source, if I uploaded it to Wiki) -when I tried, it linked to the home page, rather than the photo page. Are we, Wikipedians, not allowed to post that picture as it's part of the Vanishing Georgia archives? How does that work with pre-1923 photos? Make sense? Thanks, Carsonmc (talk) 23:25, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
A photo was taken down because Wikepedia did not have the proper permissions to post it. My coworker released it into the public domain so that it could be used by Wikipedia. This appears to have been verified (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wynton_Marsalis_2009_09_13.jpg)

Dear Sir, Please replace the cameraflage entry at your earliest convenience. It is not an advertisement as you have described. It is a unique patented system of camouflage and all the content that was submitted did not over state anything that could be interpreted as advertorial.

Can the following images be undeleted?
They were deleted on 8 Feb 2010 (Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2010 February 8) as unfree images. This was correct as they were mis-licensed as public domain works when they are actually derivative works. However, with the correct licences, they should be appropriate for the article Starfleet ranks and insignia. For example: File:STTOS Starfleet Admiral rank.jpg. The images represent only detail of the cuffs of the costume, a very minor element of the franchise as a whole, and so should not cause any commercial harm to Paramount or the Star Trek franchise.

Would you please unprotect this? The bot is getting it's job done, even with people turning it off every other day. Myself and others are watching closely. The bot has done a wonderful job despite the interruptions. This list used to routinely be 900-1400 entries long, despite efforts by many people to reduce it. You can see now that it is down to 211 as of today. The bot is doing just fine.

<<File:Deerhound Fernhill's Kendra.jpg (delete | talk | history | logs). Delete; licence and author claimed by uploader are disputed because the source clearly gives credit to Linda Lundt as the photographer, which is neither the uploader or author as claimed and no permission has been given by the photographer. ww2censor (talk) 05:59, 8 February 2010 (UTC) Perhaps it was originally incorrectly entered (under the wrong category?) by me personally. The photo has been (unchallenged) on the Wiki Deerhound page since July 2008. It was cropped, distorting the proportions and changing the colour by a third party, September 2009. I reposted it shortly after that. The original photo of Fernhill's Kendra has been in our possession since the mid 1990's, and has been on our website since 2001. It has also been in at least one book, and a number of magazines in that period. We (at Fernhill) always credit material to the original author - which we have done on our website, to which the Wiki file refers. We have tried to contact the photographer years ago without any luck, as we will be using this photo in our own book on the Deerhound. I would strongly suggest that this photograph is in the public domain and has been properly credited.--Richard Hawkins (talk) 14:00, 8 February 2010 (UTC)>>

Fastily,
I added the 1903 pic we discussed yesterday. Are you sure it's okay to pull from Vanishing Georgia? Take a look at how I have it set up. Their site will not allow me to paste in the "Source" section the link directly to the pic. It always goes to the main page, where you have to type in "Rufus M. Rose residence." Please let me know if this is okay. If not, delete the pic. I don't want to tread in Vanishing Georgia's territory, albeit, nowhere did they say anything about posting photos to other sites that I could see. FYI, the pic looks a little dif. than it did on their site as I cropped a number/black band off of one side. Concerned, Carsonmc (talk) 01:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
oops... I actually saw, just now, where they say to contact the repository for "reproduction and usage." Do you think we should remove this? If so, can we revert this page back to what it looked like before I added that pic? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carsonmc (talk • contribs) 01:53, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
You are going to think I'm crazy. Just found were it said I needed permission to upload pic on the Vanishing Georgia site. Wish I had seen it to begin with. Therefore, removed pic. and reverted to what page looked like before I uploaded the pic. Sorry for all the craziness. Carsonmc (talk) 01:59, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
FYI... I sent the GA archives a request to post the pic. and sent them a link to the Wiki page on the house, therefore, help me, please, keep the 1903 photo off this page until I get permission to post. Sorry for all of this. Thought the pre1923 would prevent all this, but to play it save, I'm asking for permission. All my ramblings make sense? Carsonmc (talk) 02:22, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Dear Fastily,
I noted that there was a comment from with reference to 'vandilism' which I would like to ask you about.
I am working very closely with developing a presence on the Internet regarding the history of an important group here in Atlanta. I have undertaken the addition of historically significant details in the very specific section of an article of the Civil Rights Movement ... specifically: African-American Civil Rights Movement (1955–1968)
While I am fairly new at editing Wikipedia pages, I looked up and found the following listed for the term vandalism
... Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example adding a controversial personal opinion to an article is not vandalism, although reinserting it despite multiple warnings can be disruptive (however, edits/reverts over a content dispute are never vandalism, see WP:EW). Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful thought may be needed to decide whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well-intended, or outright vandalism.
There is no intent to cause any harm to this page but expand actual historical information with references.
Thus, if your comment was directed at my edits, I do beseech you to consider that these were certainly made as carefully as I know how, in good faith, and with references to the materials posted, specifically which regarding event in 1960 in Atlanta in regards to the Civil Rights Movement, the Atlanta Student Movement, the Appeal for Human Rights, and the Committee for the Appeal for Human Rights ... all of which I have added and am currently continue to further develop.
I am very open to your input but would like an explanation as a newbie of what I may have done incorrectly, if those comments were directed at my additions.
Please advise.

Hey, Fastily, I am the Chair of the Green Party of Nevada. Recently I updated our page with our current logo and list of the Executive Board of the Green Party of Nevada. I added a Creative Commons license for the image. I saw that a copyright something or other had been placed on the image, so I then added a clause with the copyright being Billy Howard, 2010, no restrictions. What more do you want?
Then I see the entire article--which was first generated by the US Green Party--has been deleted.
Can you please restore and let us know what is offensive? Hope it's not b/c of a politics, LOL!

I read the notification you placed on someone's talk page in reference to File:Diana de Vere Beauclerk.jpg and it confuses me. The notification says the "description page currently doesn't specify who created the content" yet the description page quite clearly identifies the painter as "Edward Byng, 1690". The notification says "if you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken" and yet the description page already includes this link. There can be no copyright issues involved with a two-dimensional representation of a painting that is centuries old. If you are suggesting that we need to know who made the two-dimensional representation, [1] the notification should be more clear that that is what is wanted, and [2] it's totally irrelevant to issues of copyright. I cannot help but think that these sorts of tags in which the recipient is forced to play the game of "guess what I want" alienate more users than an actual specific request showing evidence of having been written by a human being would. - Nunh-huh 04:43, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

First let me say that I have been on Wikipedia for a while, but there are still some things that I don't know how to do
I am trying to set up a page (File:Coat of Arms Trans.gif) to serve basically the same function as File:Rotschilds arms.jpg
I went ahead and made the page as identical as possible since the Rothschild one is well established.
I didn't make any change to the "no source information" tag that you added, since I don't think I have enough know-how to know when one of those can be removed
Is there any other way to improve the page to make it as legitimate as the Rothschild crest page?

Hey Fastily, I logged in today to Wiki to see that my company page is gone. I do the editing of the page, once in a month. So was shocked. There is no advertisement material on the page. It is a simple page with company details and the history of the company.
If you could please let me know which were the sections which you felt are not relevant or are promotional material and I will remove them and resubmit the page. I had also included the references for most of the mentioned points. Did I tamper the formatting? All the images on my page were own images which belong with Mindfire Solutions and I am using with written permission of usage and there is no restriction at all.

Fastily,
I would like to speak to you about my two files Brodess.jpg and John_means.jpg, which have been scheduled for deletion tomorrow as they have no source information. Please tell me how to add this! The images come from A History of Ashland Kentucky 1786 - 1954, which was published between 1923 - 1963. According to this website, their copyright is expired if it has never been renewed. I checked here and found that it never was. Please help me! --Parodist (talk) 22:20, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I am slightly new to editing here on Wikipedia but I feel you made an error in reverting an edit I made a little earlier on the 9/11 truth movement. I believe I added "conservative/libertarian radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones" as one of the adherents to that specific conspiracy theory. Either you are unaware or his prominence in that theory (he is essentially the most recognizable and vocal figure there is), or I simply do not understand how to properly edit and you can inform me as to what specifically I did that is wrong, and then I can make the corrective steps to enter that information properly into that entry. If you were mistaken then feel free to not respond, otherwise please clarify things for me. Thanx for the help.

Hi, Fastily! I wanted to ask you for advice. I wanted to request for rollback, as i did earlier, so it was agreed to wait few more months, and then re-ask! You may remember me per my block log, that is here only because of Sarandioti (talk · contribs) and his numerous highly WP:DE socks. All i did was reverting him. So, my question is should i ask now, or wait more. You may ask Moreschi or Prodego for more explanations regarded sarandioti, or Dab, or any of related editors regarding me. This permission will mean a lot to me, and i will use it with big honor and care. All best, --Tadija (talk) 22:39, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
I have been told, and have confirmed, that you removed the image referenced above, including the link to the article "Hans Baruch."
I have made several unsuccessful attempts to send email to the appropriate authorities at Wikipedia notifying them that the photograph was taken by me and that I have always considered the image to be in the public domain. The photograph was taken by me well over 40 years ago and Research Specialties has not existed since 1965.
I hereby release all rights to this image to be used by Wikipedia for any purpose whatsoever.
I would very much appreciate it if the image were restored to the biographical article as well as the image by itself. This photograph is an essential part of the story of the development of the Robot Chemist.
Am I doing this correctly? If not, would you please send me the correct methodology for accomplishing the requested restoration?
Thank you for any help you can give in this matter.
Siincerely,
Hans Baruch (ex CEO of Research Specialties Company)

Hi... I've removed the tags from the page on P90X because it's been repeatedly vandalized, including with tags by anonymous users who apparently have something against the topic itself. Yours tag seems to have been the only legitimate one -- and I apologize if removing it goes against protocol -- so I wanted to ask you what you think needs to be done to this page to make it acceptable to you. It's undergone multiple edits, including a major one I did a few weeks ago to deal with exactly the problems some people were complaining about (a neutral point of view and lack of legitimate sources). This topic is clearly notable -- there are articles about it in major publications nearly every day -- and judging from the nearly 5,000 page views it gets per day, users clearly want this information. There are also apparently quite a few interested users who are willing to put the effort in to improve it. So I think it would help a lot if, as an administrator, you would state what specific changes you think it needs. Thanks! BHealthy (talk) 18:11, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
Hello FASTILY,
I saw that you deleted my Misfortune, Inc. entry based on G11. I've tried to make this article as neutral/balanced as possible by also including non-favorable content as well but the page may have seemed promotional since I'm a fan of the company. I'm open to suggestions on how to make the article more neural and on how to get it back up. Any insight would be appreciated.

I took this Picture Myself. As you had mentioned I do work for Yanni as an Engineer, Both Audio and Video, as well as the Company's all around Media person doing the album cover layouts and DVD designs. As such, I was asked by Ric Wake, Yanni's partner at Yanni•Wake and Bonnie's producer, to build a Wiki page for her using this photo. This is one the Photo I took and used for promoting her single Millions of Milkshakes in her Manager Bath Tub [52] TravisMeck (talk) 22:58, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the quick response, Actually you just made my point. Look at the photo in the link you added, It's the raw untouched and uncropped batch that she picked from all the photo's we sent her to pick from before we worked on them. She posted her untouched photo's all over her site's in fact as we were still working.Why else would I be doing any of this or give a crap other than it's what I'm paid to do?
I understand you need verification, But I'm not certain what qualifies? Don't know what other proof I can give you other than sending you the email chains from Ric and Bonnie asking me to do this, Or contact her yourself from that link and ask her? Better yet I can have them call you directly as they are 30 feet away from me right now. TravisMeck (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I get what Your saying Now, Thanks for explaining it to me... I'll see what I can get. Thanks, TravisMeck (talk) 00:00, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
Same story as the Bonnie Pix.... Their Manager Bob Murray asked that I make something of their Wiki Pages as they are currently "Stubs", Specifically wanting those 2 pictures to be used, out of the literal Thousands that we have.[53] We are the copyright owners of the files, check out the Nomenclature in the Prefix (ReTouched Version1). I did the Photoshop work from the original shoot, one of many hats I wear along with Recording the singers, setting up mail servers, DVD Layouts, Running ProTools during the Live shows and what ever else needs done around here.
Truth be told, as I'm sure you have deduced, I'm the Digital Catch all guy here at Yanni•Wake (jack of all trades and master of none) asked to do all sort of things not because I know how, But simply because I'm told "you know computers!" I was a Post Guy that was brought in to help out on the 2005 Live Video and have been lucky enough to be here still working. I'm figuring it out as I go reading the tutorials, So If I'm going about it the wrong way I'd appreciate the nudge in the right direction. You can reach me TMeck@YanniWake.com if you'd like some other means of verification other than I have the User and Pass info for the Gallery?

Maybe because I removed the review tag??. I've read the guidelines and was under the impression that I was following them.

Hello. I'm new to Wikipedia and I contributed the TeamDynamixHE article. I did my best to follow all the directions -citations, copyrights, etc.- and I submitted the article for feedback. After two weeks without any feedback, I went ahead and posted the page out of my userspace and, when I was notified that it was being targeted for deletion, I posted the appropriate tags to be allowed to plead my case. I was not granted that request, and the page was deleted. I'm not hiding the fact that TeamDynamixHE is a company. AtTask provides software to address similar needs, as do all of the companies listed at Comparison of project management software. If any one of these companies is allowed to have a Wikipedia page, shouldn't they all be allowed? I'd appreciate your help so I can put the TeamDynamixHE article back up; I'll make every possible effort to make it Wikipedia-compliant. Jhuber08 (talk) 22:23, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Fastily,
I got an email stating that I could post the old 1903 pic. on the Rufus M. Rose house to Wikipedia (I believe you had tagged it as awaiting permission. I think, however, it will need to be restored). Too, GA archives stated that we had to put the following with the pic: "Courtesy Georgia Archives, Vanishing Georgia Collection, ful0404. Permission for use and waiver of the fee for this particular article do not mean that we will automatically waive fees for other photos. If you wish to use other photos, you will need to request permission for those images as well." My questions to you: I have no idea where to put that language, nor what should really be in the "source" section, or the copyright section. Can you help? Too, when I email the permission email to Wiki, what all do I need to include with it? Carsonmc (talk)

Fastily,
Can you help? Someone keeps vandalizing Reinhardt College's page by repeatedly adding a non-notable "famous baseball/softball player" that doesn't exist. Other admins. have warned whoever is doing this to stop. Apparently, this third or fourth vandalization was done from a new IP address. I tried to undo the edits, but must have been doing something wrong as it wouldn't let me "undo" a previous edit. In other words, it said I had to do it manually? Does this make any sense? I know there is supposedly some way to report this user (or the two IP addresses) to admins., but not sure how to do this. Too, I know that a "vadalization" tag can be added, but is this for the person, or for admins to keep a check on the page? In short, I'd like whoever this is to stop adding some non-notable figure to this page. Please let me know if you need more expl.
As for the Rufus M. Rose picture and permission email, I'll get that sent in tomorrow and let you know that I've done it. Thanks. Carsonmc (talk) 04:21, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

You tagged images that I posted for deletion. One happens to be from Wikicommons; 1. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/de/thumb/a/a1/FARBEN_DWORY.png/681px-FARBEN_DWORY.png It's used at Monowitz concentration camp for some reason it wouldn't show so i uploaded it onto the English Wikipedia. It clearly shows it's source; Wikimedia
2.another one File:Bentley Manor.gif clearly gives its source and is in the public domain it was first published over 100 years ago. Around 1848, Lossing conceived of the idea of writing a narrative sketchbook on the American Revolution. The first installment was published in Harper's New Monthly Magazine in 1850, but three years passed before the completed Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution was published http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/msscfa/sc19618.htm
3. another one File:Jans-Martense-house-plans.gif is from the Historic American Building Survey Library of Congress. http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/list/100_tim2.html it is printed right on it "Historic American Building Survey"
4. another one, is a photograph of a 137 year old map of a municipal entity which no longer exists, created by an individual who has been deceased for over 100 years,the map was created in 1873. Brooklyn became part of New York City in 1898, the map says right on it Town of Gravesend, there are neighborhoods in NYC but no separate towns, a little extrapolation: it is over 100 years old and in the public domain. http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/Map/Gravesend.inner.html author:Alvin Jewitt Johnson, Johnson and Ward publishers. JAW is printed on the map.
5.this one File:Hessian jager.jpg any reasonable individual can clearly see that it is a eighteenth century illustration. It's reasonable to assume the author is dead. I don't think he is going to e-mail anything. This image or media is missing evidence of permission. It is sourced to someone other than the uploader and while a copyright tag has been applied, there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license. Unless a link to a webpage with an explicit permission is provided, or an email from the copyright owner is sent or forwarded it's used here http://myinwood.net/who-were-the-hessians/
6. another one has the source right on the image itself:File:Foster care length of stay.gif Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting System it was uploaded from the White House web site. http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/rewrite/budget/fy2004/hhs.html
7.File:Ichabod B Crane.jpg gave the source: Library of Congress http://www.loc.gov/teachers/classroommaterials/connections/daguerreotype/langarts4.html It is in the public domain. You click on the link and it goes to the .....Library of Congress.
8.File:Old brewery.jpg gave a source D.T. Valentine published books in the nineteenth century.
9.File:Leptospira interrogans .jpg gives a source the CDC and an author, not that it matters because their is a larger version of the same picture with the same exact source and author information: File:Leptospira interrogans strain RGA 01.png
10.this one:File:Children of Bullinhuser Damm.jpg, falls under the fair use laws of the United States. It's a historical image of individuals who are now deceased, it can't be replaced. If it was seized by the United States or the United Kingdom, German copyright law doesn't apply in those countries. Neuengamme was in the British zone of occupation, English Wikipedia's servers are in the U.S.

Grrr... frustrating... I wasn't made aware that GA Archives had to decide what tag to put permission under (nor would that government agency take the time to look through Wikipedia media/copyright tags), I thought that was something we did? We being Wikipedians. GA archives clearly gives Wikipedia permission to use the file in its email. Can we not pick out the appropriate tag - i.e., it can be posted here on Wikipedia, but not elsewhere. If I have to go back to GA archives, I'm afraid all this will be in vein.Carsonmc (talk)
Okay...LOL... I think we've gone about all this in vain, and we could have simply posted the picture as in the public domain, which it is!! LOL... I sent another email to GA archives, and the response I got was this:
"Thank you for pointing out that the photo came from the 1903 book. Our Vanishing Georgia photos were provided to us by members of the public who authorized their use for “educational” purposes. We are making the image available for reference purposes and do not claim ownership. If you wish to use the photo, we will make it available, but it will be your responsibility to make sure there is no copyright still in effect. I suspect that it is not in effect and that you could simply tag it as being in the public domain."
Steven W. Engerrand Archives Assistant Director--Archival Services Georgia Archives
Therefore, my initial posting of the photo would have been okay... it's pre 1923 and in the public domain. The photo on their website is a copy of a photo that appeared in a 1903 book on Atlanta. Can you or someone else restore the photo. All we have to do is put the "Public Domain" tag on it. Make sense? You were right all along. LOL. Sorry for all the confusion.
Fastily, I added the pic. I think I got all the info. correct. Let me know if you see something wrong. Do you think I need to add this to the photo: "Courtesy Georgia Archives, Vanishing Georgia Collection, ful0404. Permission for use and waiver of the fee for this particular article do not mean that we will automatically waive fees for other photos. If you wish to use other photos, you will need to request permission for those images as well." This is what GA Archives originally said, but then in subsequent emails, he stated that the picture was in the public domain. Would the above cause confusion? Does this all make sense? Or should I add a shortened version to the "source" area: "Georgia Archives, Vanishing Georgia Collection, ful0404." Carsonmc (talk)

Hello,
The photograph of the train stop at Herman was obviously not taken by me, since I was not yet alive. I did not know which listing to use. The photograph was taken by my grandfather Herman Borgman for whom the locale was named. Through inheritance the only known photograph that Herman F. Borgman took has descended to me. I wanted to share this original photograph that I have rights to with others without relinquishing the copyright to the public at large.

Hi, Fastily; just to let you know, I tagged the above picture as failing the NFCC a few weeks ago, and you de-taggted it, saying, "does not fail any of the NFCC" – it has now been deleted via FFD for precisely that reason... could I ask that you, as an admin, could be a little more careful when making such vague statements? Or perhaps even enter into discussion? Thanks! ╟─TreasuryTag►sheriff─╢ 14:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily. I've moved the orphan picture to commons - see File:Camille (2).jpg - and deleted it here under CSD F8. In case you don't know, Commons accepts pretty much all freely licensed images, regardless of whether they [are in / might have a] use here on Wikipedia. As a guideline, I'd recommend thinking "would someone, somewhere, possibly have a use for this image?" and if the answer is "yes" or "maybe", then move it to Commons. That's not to say every image should be kept - e.g. I'm behind the deletion of File:Tom, my kitten.jpg, as anyone that has a use for an image like that should be able to recreate it easily, and an individual kitten isn't notable itself (unlike a person with a Wikipedia article on them). I hope that rationale makes sense, and is helpful to you. Thanks, Mike Peel (talk) 00:04, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Fastily, I removed your tag on Aeria. Here's the thing, I state on the image that I created it myself, which I did, so what you're tagging for has already been adressed.

Hello,
Re: 1. Dick Farrelly jpeg
As I could not quite understand the complex details involved in correctly adding this image to the article I was very kindly helped by 'Camaron' (Wikipedia Administrator). He uploaded the image to the article on my behalf and applied all the necessary steps or relevant information and I therefore presume everything is OK regarding the use of this image.
Re: 2. (Isle of Innisfree) jpeg and (Legacy of a Quiet Man) jpeg
In an email I received from the same administrator 'Camaron' to a querry I had regarding use of sheet music cover artwork he replied -
"Yes cover images are usually copyrighted by the publisher, but they are often uploaded to Wikipedia for use in articles on fair use grounds".
For this reason I tried to add those images to the articles but perhaps I have gone about it incorrectly or left something out. As I said I find it hard to understand a lot of the stuff involved. If the images cannot stay then so be it but I think that would be a pity as the articles benifit from having them there and add substance to the articles.
I would be very grateful if you could advise or help me with this.

You applied a deletion tag to File:Andrew purvis's sidebar -- 'The Suspects- A Bosnian subplot.png, with the edit summary "This file is up for deletion per WP:CSD. (TW))"
As I am sure you are aware we don't normally allow images to be used unless the copyright owner has published it under a free liscense. Exceptions include images that are used in limited circumstances, under a claim of "fair use". Those images require "fair use rationale".
This image has a "fair use rationale". It has two because I planned to use it on two articles. This is the edit where I changed the image description from the more usual style of fair use rationale for single images to the alternate form for multiple images.
Correct me if I am wrong, contributors should feel free to nominate "fair use" images for deletion when they think the fair use fationale is not valid -- but that is not the CSD you used -- and if I am not mistaken, challenging a "fair use rationale" is not CSD at all.
If I understand your edit summary you placed the speedy based on the advice of a robot assisted editing tool. I believe the image was properly liscenced and your robot may be failing to give you valid advice.

G'day Fastily, I was interested in question 8 that you asked at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Raaggio, and wondered if you could spare a moment to educate me in the right direction? My thought was that it would be highly unlikely that an AP photograph would pass the non-free content criteria: because they sell photos for a business, NFCC#2 in particular would be an insurmountable obstacle. I guess there could be some circumstances where, due to the age of, or low public interest in, an image, the image has little or no commercial value. But on my uneducated view, I don't think that conclusion could ever safely be drawn. Is this right? --Mkativerata (talk) 06:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

its not a good idea to advance editors with Serbian nationality (to give them privileges). this User:Evlekis can abuse his privileges, he has nationalist mentality (check his talk history) and its privileges can be used against other editors example: albanians

I've been reading about the history of the file and got to the point that nobody as it commercializes or uses as a trademark the Modula-3 logo, this is because I learned that the company (Pine Creek Software owned by Samuel P. Harbison) which had the trademark was created in 1990 to do commercialize Modula-3 language and was contracted by DEC SRC, Palo Alto, CA (see Pine Creek Software at http://www.harbison.org/sph3/sph-cv.htm) and ended its operations in 1992, at the times there was not other who commercialized Modula-3 or anything or its logo (including DEC, now HP) as its trademark so I believe strongly that it became public domain and is no risk to put it in there so I think it complies if I understand the Wiki policies well, can you please confirm that, please see at the Permission subsection at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M3Logo.gif

In retrospect, I realize this photo has 2 problems, but only one can be fixed with a FUR. The photo is of a copyrighted sculpture. The copyrighted sculpture is not a problem as a FUR can easily justify use of the statue. However, the bigger problem is that the photographer never explicitly released the photo itself under a compatible license. As such, it is copyrighted too. I will contact the copyright holder later to get verification on its copyright status. If it isn't released, it can be replaced and the image needs to go. — BQZip01 — talk 04:21, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

I am concerned that you have closed this FFD two days early; and also that you have closed it having participated in it yourself.
I would have !voted "keep" for this image, for two reasons: (1) Jenni is no longer a public figure, so should not be stalked for her image. (2) The image is not just used for identification, but shows how she presented herself in the one activity for which she is notable. A random photo snatched on the street would not achieve the same encyclopedic function.
I'd be grateful if you could restore the image to allow me to make these points, and let the IfD run its normal 7-day course. Jheald (talk) 08:39, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

Dear FASTILY, Thanks for your response, I trust, you are fair, I am not saying you did it on purpose, but his arguments there have been refuted by a few users already. it's enough that he's put the POV on top, but the valuable information has to be reinstated, not vandalized - as he did, as such, the current (his trimmed) version is extremely unfair. regards Rocalisi (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:56, 17 April 2010 (UTC).
Hi,
I found it strange that the wiki page Jai gurudev was deleted. This page contained all the facts about the spiritual leader from India who has world’s maximum followers. I got a comment that this page is being created by a fan but what’s harm in that. There are pages that pertains to asocial elements with their Biography so why can’t a page that is pertains to a Spiritual awakening can be allowed to publish on Wiki. It is for benefit of society & Humanity. If we can move to direction we might succeed in combating the Global problems including Terrorism and Natural Disaster.
I am hopeful that you ll give a thought to it and will re-activate the page & advice me improvements that can help me avoid deletion. I am not a technical person hence that remains a constraint for me. Whatever Fact and figure you wish for I ll try to provide you with that. The page I created was with a intention that more and more people across the Globe can know about a Saint who is spreading message of Peace n Bother hood all across but unfortunately his followers are only in India coz the news could not be Spread across. He is 110 years of Age.
I invite you to India wherein you can yourself witness gathering to millions of people from various locations of world and talk to them about their experience. Famous Indian Political leaders got way from his preaching’s.

You posted a note on my talk page titled File copyright problem with File:AnimalsRelativeNumbers.png
I hope you are a human being and not a tag robot. I am so PISSED at Wikipedia right now. I have made hundreds of minor edits over the last five years, two or three a day. I am very well aware of copyright. My household makes its living entirely on copyrighted material.
I spent five hours today creating that image from original source data. I am the sole owner of all intellectual property pertaining to that image. I tried 5!! times to upload that to Wikimedia using the http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=ownwork page. It failed every time telling me I needed to indicate what the license was or that I was the author.
There is nothing on that page that gave me a clue as to what I was doing wrong (if indeed I was doing anything wrong). Nor can I figure out why you sent me this note. I did my level best to tell this idiot Wikipedia system that I OWN THAT IMAGE IT IS MINE AND MINE ALONE I HEREBY FREELY GIVE IT TO THE WORLD.
So don't delete it just tell me how to get this message across to the various Wiki sites.

You identified the image File:Lord Cranborne.jpg as lacking source info.

Re: this deletion - Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2010_April_9#File:ZwillingeStampSWA1985.jpg
Dear Fastily. Hi. I notice you deleted this file. Your explanation was that the "result of the discussion was: Delete".
I am not sure there was really a consensus or a discussion.
Is it the case that it wwwcensor's argument that "The stamp's existence and its purpose are already perfectly well explained in prose without the necessity of using a non-free image and does not increase the reader's understanding of the article." is compelling. Here the modfication the wwwcensor has made to policy is that he has replaced "topic" with "article". This seems to me a tightening of policy. Is this a change that could be usefully made in the policy?
User:seresin's modification to policy is that the image would be "necessary for comprehension". This also seems to me a tightening of policy.
It still seems to me that the image's presence significantly increased readers' understanding of the topic of the section 'Zwillinge (Locomotives)#The Stamp' and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding. So it seems to me it passes WP:NFC#Images #3 and WP:NFCC#8.
Could you let me know your basis for deletion and your interpretation of these arguments - best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 10:31, 19 April 2010 (UTC))
I don't understand your copyright problem with Geotherm.jpg. I clearly stated when I uploaded the article that I created the work (the graph) entirely myself.

Hi mate,
My name is Dani and I created a page called Pogojo Ltd (pogojo.com.au) on Wikipedia last week. The page was about a company called Pogojo Ltd and it's business operation. The page as I believe, did not violate any of Wikipedia rules and it stood in the given guidelines for publishing a wiki term on Wikipedia, which is not advertising and providing a notable and reliable source (which I provided in this case and the source was the Australian Securities and Investment Commission - ASIC, to prove that the company is legitimate and operating still under the Australian laws) however it still got deleted by you!
I ask you kindly to approve it since we believe that the Wikipedia page is a source of information to serve everyone, and it meant to provide reliable information on everything. You might argue that the source is not reliable or not sufficient enough, but as a matter of fact, the page I created presents a legitimate business and it is 100% truthful, and no misleading information was included there. Wikipedia.org should be serving the internet community by presenting truthful and valuable information of any sort, not by deleting information that do not meet the rules of submitting pages but by deleting misleading and untruthful pages.
Thank you

I created the page Anky Rookmaaker and surprised to see it deleted without any warning. Is this normal?
Also, I would advocate to reinstall the page and I will modify it.
The activity described on the page is notable. The person was knighted by the Queen of the Netherlands for something that she started well into her '50's during a time (mid '60's) that such activity was not common for females. In addition it was all voluntarily and ended up in an organization that is now helping educating 150.000 children on a yearly basis. I would think it is highly notable.
Referencing is not so easy as she employed a low profile method, avoiding excessive PR costs. However she managed to run a medium sized relief organization almost singlehandedly. That is well proven by the knighthood. Also the problem is that most sources are in Dutch. The US agent of the organization has a website, which can be referred to (www.helpachild.us)and there is an online description of her influence in the international l'abri fellowship.
Finally, the method of help (giving indigenous people all responsibility) is even now still not commonly practiced. She did it on a large scale in the time that there were no faxes, emails, etc.
Hope to hear from you.

Thankyou for reverting and protecting my talk page after the heavy vandalism Imperial Monarch (D•R) 02:07, 24 April 2010 (UTC) |
You closed Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2010 April 2#File:Pennsylvania Avenue.jpg as Keep on April 15, but speedy deleted File:Pennsylvania Avenue.jpg anyway on April 22 as "F4: Lack of licensing information". Was there a different issue as well, or some new information to indicate the licensing was indeed lacking after all? (The issue in the discussion was that the uploader seemed to be attempting to revoke GFDL.) --Closeapple (talk) 02:14, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Given that the ArticleAlert system is currently broken, it is likely that not many people will be aware of PRODs.

Hi Fastily, you deleted the following categories earlier because they have been emptied:
They have been replaced today by the following newly created categories (there may be other similar cases):
This issue has had, I think, at least two Categories for discussion debates and the last one ended with no consensus to move all the categories to using players rather than footballers. Could you revert or advise please? LunarLander // talk // 15:45, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
Hello, I see that you are listed as a potential admin coach for candidates interested in focusing on images. Even though my first RfA brought up a several things to focus on, I think my biggest stumbling block was my answer to question #1. Yes, I knew that I wanted to help out, but I really didn't have a clear plan as to how. Your own oppose is a good example of what I mean, actually: it was a tentative oppose because I've had an inconsistent editing history, but you made it quite clear that you would have considered moving to support if I'd given you a reason.
I haven't considered working in images because it's a fairly complex topic and I really have very little experience with them, but I'm willing to learn. Please let me know if you would be open to coaching me.--~TPW 23:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
If you're not unhealthily clinging to Wikipedia, would you mind giving me some admin coaching, as we previously discussed? I'm a fairly busy individual, but I use the internet quite a bit. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:39, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

You recently deleted File:Sue_Lowden.jpg as a copyvio with no fair use or public domain claim presented. Sue Lowden is currently running in the primary to become a candidate for U.S. Senator from Nevada. On her official campaign site, there is a link reading "Download a high resolution photo of Sue Lowden", from which a ,jpg file quite similar to the deleted image can be freely downloaded. Checking the site (not exactly a thorough scouring of the entire site, but more than a brief skim), I did not find any copyright notices or restrictions on usage of the content, including the downloadable photo. I'm not an expert on copyright law, or on filling out the Wikipedia usage justifications, but it seems that image might be OK to use in her article if properly documented. Can I have your opinion on this issue, and any helpful suggestions you might care to make? Thanks. Fat&Happy (talk) 03:49, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, please weigh in – the farce is back and now hippo brought some friends with him. I really appreciate your input. Hearfourmewesique (talk) 01:31, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Gary Johnson is a valid entry for Wikipedia having produced, remixed or composed dozens of hits and music for TV shows over the past decade or more. He was part of Motiv 8 in the later 90s, remixing dozens of artists and reworking Addicted to Love with Robert Palmer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zh5MdjB5_Xk (he's the guy with the blonde hair in this video) As EuropaXL he remixed dozens of UK artists including Emma Bunton (Spice Girls) and Rachel Stevens (from SClub). He's composed the music for several international TV shows for the BBC, Channel 4, SKY and the Food Network. His entry on discogs is missing most of what he's responsible for, but I'd happily reference it if it helps you reinstate this page. Please reconsider!
Hi Fastily, I'm not sure exactly what you want me to explain, or why you would threaten to block me indefinitely without an explanation. Have you had a chance to read the relevant talk page section yet? If you read it, I think it's clear there was some good discussion on this, mostly from other editors (none of whom were my "friends", and none of whom I "brought" from anywhere). There emerged a clear consensus that did not agree with Hearfourmewesique's view, so the content was removed. He then canvassed for some support, and edit-warred a little but the situation didn't get out of hand. If anyone has erred here, it is him. Am I missing something that I have done? If I've done something wrong, could you please explain what, with reference to policy and diffs, because I have no idea. Thanks for your help. --hippo43 (talk) 06:49, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

hello
I get a message from you that my file SYS_logo.png was deleted because of a missing copyright information.
Meanwhile I repeated the upload of the file 2 times, added that this is a foto by myself, and thet I put it under public domain.
I WILL NOT UPLOAD THE FOTO AGAIN.
Many people become wiki tired. What most urgantly would have to be removed, are self-denominated 'administrators' which lost all funcionality. Thats the same system like we had on the comunism.
As you can see from Linux distros, even for gratis things has a strong concurrence. wiki have to make efforts for survive in future, inclusive remove non-funcional people.
I let the article just without this picture. Its problem of wikis quality, not of me. If you want, you recover the picture youself
And in my own sites, I add this example to the reasons why wiki isn't trustworthy, playground for trolls and a self-denominated aristocracy

Please stop tagging the Noronic photos for deletion. Their fair use is clearly explained, so it doesn't matter what their copyright status is. -- Zsero (talk) 07:05, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
Mixing in: There is a template specifically for this purpose, ((Non-free unsure)). It is said in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free to be "deprecated", with a recommendation to investigate whether the work is in the public domain or not, but no one seems to have explained what is to be done if this cannot be easily determined. If I were in Zsero's place, and were confident of the fair-use rationale, I'd go ahead and use this tag — it seems clear that this is a real case that cannot be wished away, and I think the tag should be un-deprecated. --Trovatore (talk) 07:22, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

I tried starting an article with the above name and it won't let me because it says there already was an article with that name that was deleted by you in on Nov 21st, 2009, because it sounded like "advertising."

If so, could you please restore it to User:KnownLoop/Stochastic resonance (book) and I'll fix it up and write it properly. Then after your approval you can move it out of my User space.

I agree with you: it should be removed if there's no valid copyright. I understand both of the policies that you are referring to. I was only saying that the speedy delete policy (WP:SD) doesn't apply because the image survived deletion once. The file should be deleted; I just thought the FfD was the correct forum for it.

Hi. You closed Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2010 April 26#File:Kovpak.jpg as Keep, saying a solution was offered. But note that Rockfang merely stated the source of the image; he did not clear up the other issue, i.e. that the license tag is likely wrong. There seems little chance that the picture is from before 1943, and Rockfang's source does not appear to clear that up (if you can read Russian and think I am wrong, let me know). I further see you tagged it as a Commons candidate but it's unlikely the image would survive a deletion request there. Wknight94 talk 00:22, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

Can I ask you to copy the source and ((information)) templates to User:Geo Swan/review/File -- Ali-Abdul-Aziz-Ali.jpg and User:Geo Swan/review/File -- Rawa photo of dead Taliban in Sultan Razia school.PNG.
The reason I ask is that they were on my watchlist, but I don't remember them -- and the second one at least would have been in the public domain, because Afghanistan is not a signatory to any international copyright agreements, and has no domestic copyright protection.

Re this, I'm wondering if I could get a bit more of an explanation. I don't see how it meets WP:NFCI #5 or WP:NFC #8 as it is not used to depict the film it was from and it is not used for critical commentary. I don't see any difference between the use here and the example in the guideline of using a baseball card for barry bonds to show what barry bonds looks like without commentary to show why it is significant. The is no use in the article outside of a few words in the caption. Certainly not extensive critical commentary. In other words, using an image from a movie to show what a helicopter looks like without commentary to explain why it is significant. It's more than just the replaceablility I object to, it's also the usage. Having mentioned replaceablity, there are four aircraft of this exact model that are still in use today and the article is about the aircraft, not the paint on it.

Any attempts to correct this (following reasonable Wikipedia guidelines) are met with aggressive reverts and edits. Intentional spinning and manipulation of article in favor of BP? Can this task force investigate this?
Currently there is no easily recognizable section on the current Gulf of Mexico Oil Disaster, surprisingly since the US Government has held BP responsible. Instead the "Oil Disaster" Section in the article keeps being given obscure (hard to recognize) names (as if someone is trying to hide the section from the public).
That section also keeps getting pushed to the bottom of the article (attempts to bury it)?
It's as if the BP Public Relations department has staff people who are aggressively spinning the article. Could this Task Force investigate this?

Hi,
I'm continuously puzzled by why your organization continued to delete Citrix XenDesktop from Wikipedia.
We have experienced multiple issues here: 1. Our competitor's reference for some reason is never deleted. They are VMware View. 2. You have on numerous occasion redirected XenDesktop to Xen, which is completely wrong. 3. You have deleted content that were true but perhaps you got influenced by certain entity which leads to your action.
Please kindly explain your actions.

Hi,
Just a friendly reminder to please be a little critical when reviewing files moved to Commons, in this case the image was uploaded with the "AutoReplaceable fair use people" tag, which the unloader then changed to CC-BY-SA for no apparent reason a little later (no OTRS tickets or other claims of permission and it's sourced to an official website with no mention of CC license) while also adding a fair use rationale stating that no free licensed version could be found. Somehow I have my doubts about the validity of that CC license, and you are only supposed to "F8" a file if you are reasonably sure the license is correct and it otherwise meets all the listed criteria. Also while it's not a policy it's very helpful if you list the more dubious files you find for deletion over there as well, Commons is quite low on admins, so unless we raise a flag on Commons while reviewing Commons moves on this side it may take years before it comes to the attention of someone with a delete button on Commons otherwise.
I just happened to notice because I looked at the file yesterday but it was very late so I put off doing anything about it untill today when I noticed you had deleted it here already, just figured I'd drop you a note. Cheers. --Sherool (talk) 08:14, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Fastily - I submitted an article for a company I feel has had a significant impact on teaching in the science classroom and it was marked for deletion. (Vernier Software & Technology) I would like to rewrite the article but as others have mentioned, don't want it to just be deleted again... So, I'm wondering if I should try to more directly show why Vernier is a notable company and talk less about what they offer (aka products). I can cite numerous articles / sources for the impact their products have had in the science (and math) classroom as well as show the impact they have had in teh local/regional/national community through philanthropic activities and good business stewardship. Would that help ensure the article doesn't get marked for deletion?

Hi Fastily. I noticed that you deleted some of the images Maczilla97 (talk · contribs) uploaded.

Hello, I'm curious as to why this was deleted. I had indicated on the talk page that I wanted it reviewed by my peers. I have no messages that this was done. Another editor took all of the pages I had put into the category out, and he then nominated it for deletion. I question his motives in doing so as he likes to put notches in his belt for the number of categories he gets deleted. Please point me toward the discussion, if there was indeed one.

Thanks for deleting this file. Having gone to the trouble of hassling the photographer for the correct copyright permission and emailed it to the correct email address on the 6th May 2010; the day after I was requested to so, where no-one bothered to either contact me or put a response code on the image, I am beginning to wonder why I bother contributing to Wikipedia at all.

WTH. Why did you delete it? I was trying to get somebody to tell me HOW to say where the source was, so I could add it. But nobody was replying. The image was created by putting together three images made by Sugimori, which is released in several promotional packages. I somewhat implemented that into the image's page. Did you even look at it, or did you just delete it because it still had the template? Blake (Talk·Edits) 00:59, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Fastily. It looks like you have speedily deleted Dogfighter (2010 computer game). As I posted on the article's talk page, I was really thinking that it didn't meet the criteria for speedy deletion. It seemed reasonably encyclopedic and not exclusively promotional, and I thought the subject was probably notable as well. Can you please restore the article? I have at least one editor who has already volunteered to submit it to the regular Articles For Deletion process, which I think would be much more appropriate. (If you reply here I will see what you say.) — Mudwater (Talk) 01:24, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Greetings, this note is in regards to the "File:MercuryFoodChain-01.png" which appears to have been mistakenly deleted. The initial issue was that the file had been released by the original authors under a CC license that didn't allow commercial use. The original authors have since released this image under a cc-by-3.0 license which is acceptable to Wikipedia. This was all present in the discussion, so I'm wondering why the file was deleted anyway? Moby69 (talk) 19:52, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
I was led to believe that I didn't need to contact OTRS since the issue was resolved by the original author and therefore the image would not be deleted. The file has clearly been released under an appropriate cc-by-3.0 license and this can be verified on the original site. What do I need to do to get the image back?

Following on from the above section, and per the instructions as WP:FFD, Skookum1 has a point. I'm not exusing the PAs above but the instructions at FFD clearly state to notify the uploader that a file has been nominated for deletion. Skookum1 was denied the chance to defend at least 3 files that were nominated for deletion. Would you be willing to revert the deletion and then open a new FFD discussion on each and notify Skookum1 of the discussion so that he has the chance to comment on the proposal? It may be that the files are deleted, or it may be that they are kept, but I feel that due process has not been followed in these cases. Mjroots (talk) 09:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Your will to delete images without even BOTHERING to try to get them OTRS ticketed or approved is potentially extremely damaging to the encyclopedia. I am one of our most experienced editors and went out of my way to upload the entirety of images for 22 Jermyn Street and spoke to Henry Togna the guy who owns the place before it was demolished who provided these images freely to use. These images were highly valuable and will never be replaceable. Please reatore these photographs and restore them in the article asap and I will recontact him and try to get OTRS tickets on them.

I am in no way trying to market or promote anything. We are a UK based registered charity and are totally non profit. run solely by volunteers Please could I ask that you therefore reinstate the page that I have just spent 2 hours on. I would appreciate this very much

How come my file was deleted and I was not notified? Sophie (Talk) 18:25, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
These images were taken from an advertising phamplet promoting Aquarama (only one may exist). The document has "NO COPYRIGHT" information printed on it. The company that owned Aquarama is defunct. The building has been demolished and achived photos are "extremely" rare and none compare to these. This phamplet was part of the press material to attract visitors and there is not indication that they intended to copyright it. So I presented it as public domain. Most importantly only these images can capture both the structure and context to enchance the article, otherwise readers will not get the full value of the article.
Please restore these crtical images:

As the templates must reflect the policy, we cannot rewrite those templates without first getting consensus for similar changes to that policy. Second, with respect to the image, from what I can tell we are dealing with two separate image files (even though they may be identical). The one on EnWiki has the URL http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/TARDIS2.jpg, while the one on Commons has the URL http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/TARDIS2.jpg (note the "commons" subdirectory instead of the "en" subdirectory). --Ckatzchatspy 22:49, 19 May 2010 (UTC)"F2. Corrupt or empty image. Images that MediaWiki is unable to read or generate resized thumbnails of, or that contain superfluous and blatant non-metadata information."
(outdent)So, which file is EnWiki referencing? My impression is that we are still using the local version, given a) the different URL and b) the fact that the example image you listed at AN/I clearly display a "Commons" notice, whereas the TARDIS image does not. --Ckatzchatspy 22:59, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that several images of Omar Khadr have been deleted recently.
If File:Alleged Khadr 3.png, File:Alleged Khadr Waving.png and File:Khadr's Colleague.png are the images I think they are, then they should all have been tagged with ((PD-Afghanistan)) and moved to the commons.
The deletion log says you deleted the first two images. I can't figure out who deleted the third image.
I know some contributors have doubts about the ((PD-Afghanistan)) liscense. Their opinions on images from Afghanistan vary.
I acknowledge that there may be some merit to the position of the objectors. The law can be highly counter-intuitive. I wouldn't want our consensus as to how to interpret the copyright status of these images to be influenced by WP:ILIKEIT. And, for some time I have expressed the wish that the Wikimedia Foundation get the professional opinion of a lawyer, or lawyers, who specializes in intellectual property issues on the copyright status of images from nations like Afghanistan with no copyright protection.
However, until the WMF gets that professional opinion, I think we should go with the consensus on images like this, so far -- which has been that they should be kept.
If you agree with me, in your opinion, what is the next step? Do you think you have the authority to re-instate images from Afghanistan that should have born a ((PD-Afghanistan)) liscense? If you don't agree, in your opinion, what is the next step?
One last question -- who uploaded these images? Was it User:Sherurcij?

I have removed the ((prod)) tag from Center for Khmer Studies, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the ((prod)) template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Your answer to my question was archived before I had a chance to respond.
You wrote: "If you're suggesting that I restore these files despite their missing essential information on their copyright statuses, you know I can't agree to that."
Your reply surprises me, because I think it is obvious we do have all the essential information for File:Alleged Khadr 3.png and File:Alleged Khadr Waving.png. The original URL where these screenshots were taken from is http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/16/60minutes/main3516048.shtml

Dear Fastily,
1. Thanks for your tag in the file File:Bangla.jpg. I myself created this file and uploaded. I also used this file in article Avro Keyboard. But I am sorry, I missed to put the copyright information for this file. I am a new user in Wikipedia. I could not find how to fix this problem. Could you please help me by showing some guideline how to give copyright status? Thanks.
2. 2 other pictures (File:Amibanglaygangai.gif & Bangla.gif ) that I uploaded did not serve my purpose & not used anywhere. Actually, I was unaware of the feature "Upload a new version of this file", so I uploaded 1 by 1 images. I am sorry for this mistake. As I am new, I could not delete those 2 files. Could you please help me to delete those 2? Thank you. ----Cool BD (talk) 23:13, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi there, I had this page on my watchlist so I noticed that it had been speedily deleted (I heard at ANI that you deleted it) a week or two ago. I thought that reasonable because the article reads like advertising spam. I recently saw that the article had been undeleted, so I asked at the undeleters page, User:John Vandenberg, about the reasons for that. I am not yet sure of his reasons, but he did say that the admin who made the undeletion (which I guess is you) must have been mistaken, asleep at the wheel, or on a deletionist spree. So my question is, are you in any of those categories, and do you remember what caused you to speedily delete the article? Cheers. Weakopedia (talk) 05:12, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

With reference to this action of yours (which ignored my 'hangon' tag):
• (Deletion log); 23:58 . . Fastily (talk | contribs) deleted "File:MetRoofGardenKoons.jpg" (F9: Unambiguous copyright violation: concern was "images of works of art by Jeff Koons are not public domain")
I believe your are mistaken about the image rules. This was not a photograph of a two-dimensional work, but rather a photograph of an outdoor scene in a public space that happened to include some sculpture. There are literally thousands of such images in WP; see Category:Outdoor sculptures in Chicago, Illinois for just the ones in Chicago, including Cloud Gate which has survived FA scrutiny. These would all have the same level of copyright that the Koons works do.
Please restore the image, and take it to a discussion at IfD if you really feel strongly about it. Given the prior use of such images all across WP, a speedy deletion was most inappropriate here. Wasted Time R (talk) 04:02, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
I saw you deleted User talk:132.234.251.211, which I now restored. The page was converted to something without any meaningful content by the user itself, and then blanked by another editor. However, the editor is a) blocked, and b) there are in the history very, very many warnings. Deleting such pages, IMHO, removes that type of history, and I thought that pages of blocked editors and/or long term vandals should not be deleted anyway.

Hi Fastily, it's ary29 from it.wiki. Jalo informed us that you would like to usurp it.wiki username Fbot for your SUL account. I have just posted the proper request on your behalf, but I would like to inform you that, so far, there is no SUL account for Fbot. Check here! My advice is that you create immediately the SUL account for Fbot - even if the Italian username is not available yet - because at present any user on any Wikimedia project except for en.wikipedia and it.wikipedia could sign up and get the SUL account. Maybe it won't happen, but I heartily suggest you to get hold of the SUL account as soon as possible. If it.wiki Fbot doesn't oppose in 5 days (2 already gone), then you'll be able to add it to your SUL account. Ciao, Ary29 (talk) 22:35, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

As I'm new to this, although I've read the policies, is there a cogent source of information which might illustrate why specific product information is permitted for some articles but even basic techical descriptions in articles without product or promotional information such as HoloTouch Technology are not?

Hi, Fastily. I see you closed this as "no consensus"—however, I do think that there is an issue there that needs sorting out, and would observe that WP:FFD states, "Files that have been listed here for more than 7 days are eligible for deletion if there is no clear consensus in favour of keeping them."
However, if you are not planning to delete it on that basis, I must take the issue further, because it needs resolution rather than indecision. I'd be interested to hear your advice as to whether I relist the file, or take your closure to DRV? (Nothing personal, but there must be a conclusion to the matter!)

Dear Fastily,
yesterday we posted an article about the software FRIENDSHIP-Framework that you deleted. Of course we are aware that beeing from the developing company ourselves the accusation of advertisement seems natural. On the other hand we tried to stick to the facts and refrain from unambiguos content. The fact that we didn't use any reference yet was simply owed to the missing time. Wen ment to post references, but the deletion was just to fast to be able to do that.
We would like to post this article again in a revised form. Since this was our very first article in Wikipedia, we kindly ask for your suggestions how to improve it, respectively make it compliant to Wikipedia's rules.

Hi, Fastily
You'll have to admit that you made quite a blunder in File:QuickTime on Windows Vista.png. On 29 May, Mono (talk · contribs) tagged the image for deletion on fully unfounded basis: His assertion ("Media being played in screenshot is not attributed (lacking permission info)") is completely nonsense because you can still visit the description page and see for yourself that the file being played if fully attributed by the following statement:
“ | QuickTime 7.5 on Windows Vista playing Big Buck Bunny. | ” |

Please respond with reason why this article (telecommunication software) was marked for speedy deletion as promotional? I quote from the definition: Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion.
The whole article was only stating facts, and also so in a neutral, non-promotional way. The article will be recreated. Please provide feedback about specific problems (references, structure, text quality, phrasing) for constructive feedback on proper recreation, on my talk page, or provide feedback on the article talk page later on.

I'm extremely disappointed that you deleted this image with no clear consensus obtained between the pro and con arguments. With the exception of the original proposer, there was only one con argument to counteract my pro argument, which hs hardly enough to establish a proper consensus. I strongly feel that this absolutely the wrong decision, and there are clear precedents with many, many other sports teams having a gallery of historical logos similar to the one I was trying to build with Galaxy. --JonBroxton (talk) 04:00, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello. Per WP:DRV, I'm supposed to contact you first and ask you to take a second look at Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2010_May_31#File:The_Prestige_fashion.jpg. This image was used to increase the readers' understanding of why the film received Academy Award nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction and how the cinematography and costume design was achieved. WP:FILMNFI says: "Non-free images can illustrate technical and/or thematic aspects of the film. Examples include, but are not limited to: production design, makeup, costume design, camera technique, visual effects, lighting, and iconic shots." That is precisely what this image has done, and its significance is self-evident as a result of the Academy Award nomination received. I explained this in the keep, so I'm curious how it could be deleted. Is an Academy Award nomination insignificant? And, how is it possible to illustrate the costume design and cinematography without this image? Joan Bergin and Wally Pfister's work is highly notable. Could you explain how the arguments for deletion made by seresin and VernoWhitney outweigh this keep? Thanks. Viriditas (talk) 10:21, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Same as above. Neither decorative fair use as claimed by seresin, nor does it fail WP:NFCC#8 as claimed by VernoWhitney. As I explained in the rationale for keep, and as I allude to above in my link to WP:FILMNFI, this image is "significant in increasing the readers' understanding of the topic" as it "illustrates technical and/or thematic aspects of the film" including production design. I've previously explained this in explicit detail. This is precisely how we use non-free images in film articles, so I don't understand why it was deleted. Viriditas (talk) 10:29, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello, Fastily. I have read your message, and I fully understand that the Adminship requires high standards, and applying for it is like running for President. However, it's worth a try applying for such a position, so I carry on with my application. Thank you.

I proded and you deleted the Robert Watke article. Another admin undeleted and posted to AfD. I thought you might be interested. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Watke. ALXVA (talk) 13:53, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
hi. on 29 may I think you deleted the above image re discussion at [105]
Actually, there seems to have been no discussion.
user Rodolph has asked for help re deletion of a number of images he has uploaded. I dont think he has quite got the hang of copyright tagging, but in this case I dont see why the image was deleted. User memphisto appears to be engaged in a vendetta with rodolpho over images and was in this case the only person requesting deletion. I gather this may apply to a whole swath of other images. It seems to me the proper course for a good faith editor would be to assist Rodolpho in properly tagging his images, rather then trying to get them deleted. It is my understanding that being orphaned is only grounds for deletion of an image if it is 'fair use'. Perhaps you can cast some light on this, and indeed undelete the image if there was nothing wrong with it? Sandpiper (talk) 21:24, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Similarly, you seem to have mistakenly deleted Fingas Follies.[106] Sandpiper (talk) 21:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
And also [107]
I expect there are others as you seem to work on deletions. perhaps you can look at these and if you agree they should not have been deleted, we can then move on to any others? Or, of course, I would be pleased to know whether there was a valid reason for their deletion, as I cant see the deleted pages. Sandpiper (talk) 21:30, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
I read the intro to files for deletion. It seems to me less than clear since it specifically refers to deletion of non free use files. These do not seem to be non free use files, so the examples given would not apply. In any case I understand there is a policy of transferring valid files to commons, not deleting them. Can you refer to a longer and more precise listing of the deletion rules? Sandpiper (talk) 22:29, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
I am sure that User:Rodolph has made many fine contributions to Wikipedia, however he has a long history of uploading copyright and orphan images.
Like many of us his contributions are generally confined to non-controversial areas of Wikipedia and so he does not come into contact with other users very often; however when this does happen all hell seems to break loose with accusations of vandalism and bullying. See Vandal alert - [108] and his comment here Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files/2010 January 11#File:FingasFollies2007KateF.jpg.
Maybe Rodolph will never come to understand the reason why respecting image copyright is crucial to Wikipedia; but I also don't think it helps when User:Sandpiper encourages him to falsify OTRS tickets - "...I have found the need to artificially create emails to satisfy the regulations..." User talk:Rodolph#deleted images. Memphisto (talk) 10:48, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Another editor started an ANI thread complaining about one of your admin actions and failed to notify you, so I thought I'd better :) ╟─TreasuryTag►belonger─╢ 10:12, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi!
If at all possible, please don't go around tagging files for deletion related to Wikimedia Chapters activity on Meta-wiki regardless of the presence of any license tag. If in doubt, just consider them ((Copyright by Wikimedia)). Thank you, --Dami (talk) 10:41, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
In a recent case you closed at WP:AN3, you put 'Reporter blocked' in the header, but actually didn't you block the IP? The reporter was Ophois, who was not blocked. For clarity, I suggest changing the header to read 'IP blocked 3 months.' The body of the report needs a matching fix. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 12:48, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
TFOWR 21:34, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
You recently deleted File:Smpabouturluv.jpg which was involved in a strange series of edits I think, but without the history I cannot verify. To my recollection, there was a previous image with a screenshot logo from an old TV show "abouturluv". Can you verify that User:PrimeViper recently uploaded under that file name a new image (which you deleted) which was a screenshot logo for a non-related upcoming show Momay? An IP editor replaced within the article a validly licenced Momay screenshot with a link to this newly uploaded high res version. (several times actually) [109] Which makes me think User:PrimeViper is hiding behind IP editing to attempt to skirt our copyright / free use rules. Active Banana (talk) 21:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for dealing with the Big Ten Conference page. Of course, now, less than an hour later, the Big Ten announced that they accepted Nebraska. The semi-protection you applied is allowing for cleaner revisions regarding the new circumstances by preventing anonymous trolls from larding it up with incorrect stuff, so I respectfully suggest the protection be left on the article over the weekend to let the new status shake out. It's also pretty much a given that there will be more rumors of schools moving around. But I wanted to drop you a message to alert you to the news in case you feel the article should be unprotected in view of the changed circumstances.
Thanks again, and I apologize if this has been an inconvenience for you. 1995hoo (talk) 22:11, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Montereybayaquarium180ppx.png. 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. Connormah (talk | contribs) 22:40, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to invite you to participate in the Guild of Copy Editors July 2010 Backlog Elimination Drive. In May, about 30 editors helped remove the ((copyedit)) tag from 1175 articles. The backlog is still over 7500 articles, and extends back to the beginning of 2008! We really need your help to reduce it. Copyediting just a couple articles can qualify you for a barnstar. Serious copyeditors can win prestigious and exclusive rewards. See the event page for more information. And thanks for your consideration. monosock 03:54, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Why am I getting this message? Mono's delivery method is random, so you probably showed up somewhere Mono went. :)
Hi Fastily. You F7 speedied an image of Alvin Greene, saying it violated non-free content #1. As far as I can see, there is no free equivalent photograph available to describe Greene. Does #1 bar use as long as a person is alive? Gobonobo T C 04:22, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your patience. I've completed my response to your most recent question, warts and all. --~TPW 04:27, 10 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily.
You deleted some image files in the David Spero article that I'm writing. What did I do wrong and how can I fix that so you can restore them? I saw the warning 7 days ago, and it indicated that I should send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org which I did on 6/30/10. I can forward that email thread to you, too, if that would help.
Essentially it's a thread that starts with me asking a newspaper reporter from the Plain Dealer for permission to use some pictures. It included links to Wikipedia rules on adding images and indicating the copyright tags.
She referred me to David Spero, who is well known to have a big collection of rock memorabilia, including a lot of photographs (some of which, I had thought and hoped - and, the reporter indicted, would include pictures of Spero himself).
I forwarded the thread to David and he responded -- in addition to correcting one mistake in my draft article -- that I was free to use pictures from his collection. I had assumed that email was adequate proof. What else is required?
Thanks for the help. Ludasaphire (talk) 01:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you with another question Fastily. I got a response back from David Spero much faster this time around. He specifically selected the Public Domain (as I had assumed based on our prior email thread) as the license to use. I was about to send the thread off to permissions-en@wikimedia.org but remembered that you had directed that I indicate the file names. So, then I went to put the pictures back, but read the following:
So, I didn't feel like I could recreate the files without first checking with you. I described the pictures in my email to Mr. Spero. Is that enough when I forward to permissions-en@wikimedia.org or should I recreate the four files (you only deleted three, but there is a fourth picture from Mr. Spero's collection where I failed to get his specific determination of license) and refer to those four file names in my note?
Thanks, again, for the help.
--Ludasaphire (talk) 02:42, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
OK, I sent the email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Thanks again for walking me through the process. Hopefully next time I'll get it right from the start. --Ludasaphire (talk) 10:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for approving this request for me early! Huggle won't even start without Rollback rights. I plan on creates some test pages in my own userspace, until I get the hang of things... I would never purposely mess something up! I will wait until Monday as request by Courcelles to main mainstream edits, I want to honor both of you for helping me.
If you wouldn't mind, I am requesting that you peer-review my contributions for a while... and instruct me (if needed)...
Thanks again Cit helper (talk) 00:49, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
The reason I hadn't given that user rollback permissions was because some of his reverts I had seen were incorrect- such as [112] and [113]- entirely correct edits that he reverted, and especially this, where he returned a BLP issue to an article without fixing it. (And that was just the things he shouldn't have reverted- not counting the revertible stuff that wasn't vandalism he labelled as such... but I blame the Stiki tool for that, more than him.) I really wanted to see if he would make the same mistakes with a more controllable tool, like Twinkle, before letting him run on Huggle. I'm somewhat aggravated that he even mentioned coming to my talk page, and my reply, and you went ahead and granted him the rights anyway- it will only encourage such WP:PARENT behaviour in the future.

Could you give me an opinion on File:STObsession.jpg? The fair-use rationale sort of slips in a second article in the body of the text. I think the use is reasonable, but should there be a second template added to make the separate rationale clear? I've never actually seen an example of how to properly do it. I'll add one if you think that's the best course of action.--~TPW 20:14, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Your third revert of the image description page was completely uncalled for, and that I why I wanted to discuss it on the talk page. The image is not non-free, and if you revert again, I will report you for violation of 3RR. Good day. Taric25 (talk) 05:58, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily
I have received a warning for vandalism of the article Alex Hartman. The warning relates to a statement regarding a company, Destra Corporation, that Hartman was heavily involved in, being placed into administration in 2008. The article in question has not, in my opinion, been presented from a neutral perspective and has been written in parts like a professional CV by, I suspect, Hartman himself (Headspace3) and close associates. I am a new user on WikiPedia and came across the article a few weeks ago and felt the statement in question, relating to Destra and Prime Media, needed to be clarified. I have no personal gripe with Hartman, who clearly has achieved much in his short career, but the facts should speak for themselves.
The 'cornerstone investment' in Destra Corporation by Prime Media and the subsequent demise of the company as a result of this and other investments, along with Prime's statements on the failure of the investment, have been clearly documented in the media, to which I have cited references in my edits which have since been removed. The Wiki article implies that Hartman's involvement in securing Prime's A$35m investment as a positive for the Destra and Prime. In actual fact it had dire consequences that eventually resulted in the company being placed into receivership, dozens of employees losing their jobs (I was not an employee, if you are wondering - I am not scorned or guided by revenge), and Prime writing off their entire investment. My intention in citing this fact is to present both sides of the story as in its current state many segments of the article are simply written as an advertisment for Hartman. If the other users active in editing the page, whom I suspect are Hartman's associates, did not insist on including the reference to the Prime investment in the article, then I would be satisfied, as currently it is only portrayed as subjectively positive spin. To this end, I propose that the sentence relating to the Prime investment in Destra be removed entirely from the article, as it does not present a balanced view of the events in question.

I feel that the Horiba page, which was deleted, contained a lot of useful information such as its affiliation with Hitachi and its major lines of business, information that I feel is interesting and useful to know. I think the "blatant self-promotion" parts could be readily fixed, and would be prepared to give it a go. Other company articles (that have not been deleted) have lots of info. about company sports teams and the like which really have nothing to do with the company business at all.

I notice that you have recently deleted the en image description pages for several Commons image files of curves such as File:CissoidOfDiocles01.png. These image description pages contained no content apart from a category line which ensured that these image files appeared in the en Wikipedia category Category:Images of curves. They are now absent from that category. If an en image description page is not allowed for a Commons file, is there some other mechanism for assigning these images to an en category such as Category:Images of curves ? This is of practical importance because the category Category:Images of curves has been suggested as an alternative to the list page Gallery of curves in a recent AfD discussion, but this argument fails if an en category cannot display the Commons images that are included on the list page. Gandalf61 (talk) 07:36, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
[[Commons:<INSERTPAGEONCOMMONSHERE>]]
. For example, if I wanted to link the Commons category, Category:Cissoid, I would do this: [[Commons:Category:Cissoid]]
which outputs: Commons:Category:Cissoid. You can use a pipe character "|" to create this: Cissoid. Hope that clarifies interwiki links to Commons. Regards, FASTILY (TALK) 00:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Rather than me endlessly tagging them, http://toolserver.org/~erwin85/shortpages.php?lang=en&family=wikipedia&namespaces=6&filter=notemplates&submit=Submit has a list which (once you get past the very short ones) seems to be a list almost entirely of F2 images...
BTW Thanks for checking the images that are tagged as F2 do actually meet commons criteria...
There's a list of possibly mis-tagged files (that still exist on enwiki) here :- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_reports/Mistagged_non-free_files,
I note you reverted some of my F8 tags in respect of that list. I'd tagged F8 on a few because of the outcome of the Deletion Request and information at Commons. If you think the license is wrong at Commons, by all means challange it with a Deletion Request on Commons <evil grin>, but you would it seems have to provide at least a paragraph and some URL's to show why an image is not Commons compatible ( as I've done in a number of cases recently.)

Four days ago you put full protection[115] on the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. I am guessing you did this after seeing my request for page protection[116] at RfPP. (Disclosure, I am an active editor in this dispute.) In the last four days I have tried my best to encourage User:Hauskalainen to discuss this dispute on the talk page, but he seems to have essentially withdrawn. My suspicion is that he is happy with the status quo of the article because it is frozen in the POV state which he prefers. I am not asking you to take sides in the dispute, rather I am curious if you have any advice how I might encourage Hauskalainen to engage in talk page discussion while the page is locked?

hello, last night you deleted a page I spent along time preparing to write. I also have loads more to include related to this music scene. Having viewed Wiki's article on whether this topic is notable I will approach the article from a different angle. Here And Now Recordings is a focal point for the following notable artists.
Chaz Jankel -already ready featured heavily on Wiki Angie Brown - already ready featured heavily on Wiki Yam Who - worked with many big pop acts including John Legend, Raphael Saadiq, Incognito (they all have Wiki pages) making Yam Who notable http://www.discogs.com/artist/Yam+Who%3F?anv=Yam+Who Reverso 68 - very notable dance music outfit who remix big pop acts such as Badly Drawn Boy (Wiki page). They have had 100s of releases on such labels as Hed Kandi, Ministry Of Sound, EMI. THEY ARE MOST DEFINITELY NOTABLE http://www.discogs.com/artist/Reverso+68 DJD - Defected Records (Wiki) recording artist with 100s of dance music releases on may other labels too.
Here And Now Recordings is where all these artist meet, record together, where their paths cross! http://www.discogs.com/label/Here+%26+Now
Chanan Hanspal is one of the main artists on Here And Now Recordings...he was in 23 Skidoo (Wiki) and recorded for Here And Now Recordings with Imaani (Wiki Wiki Wiki). She represented Britain in Eurovision Song Content and came 2nd.
All this is entirely relevant to Wikipedia and very much notable.
DO yo agree?

It was bad enough that the article has been frozen from editing for several weeks. Now you have left it in a very bad state.
If you want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of the the article content then please do so at the talk page. Please do not on the one hand agree that the article should not be frozen indefinitely and then reinstate the very edits that are objectionable whilst it is still frozen.
These edits cite the personal opinion of one writer (Professor Malcolm) as though they are fact. Yes, we need secondary sources, but those secondary sources have to cite primary sources. Professor Malcolm has no primary source for the implied position that there was no pre-existing right to have arms before laws started to be passed obliging certain people to have arms. If that was the case there would have to have been a law PREVENTING people from arming themselves because the history of warfare and indeed human nature is that people have used weapons for both hunting and for self preservation ever since the first proto human beings picked up a bone and used it as a club. If there is evidence for a law being passed preventing people from arming themslves in England in the period before 1100 then it is incumbent on those making such a claim to prove the point. Professor Malcolm is being cited as a secondary source but she has no primary sources. We are interested in valid claims not the peronal opinions of historians who have no primary source for their beliefs. Malcolm is "friendly" to the pro-gun lobby and therefore she represents an "opinion". It does not make her "opinion" any more valid than anybody else's.--Hauskalainen (talk) 12:33, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi,
I would like to ask for an explanation for the deletion of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Page. I am part of a team of interns that is responsible for creating a website for the TTCSP. It is a non-profit, no-budget academic program with one aim: fostering civil society and the free flow of information. While we are working for the TTCSP, our goal in creating a Wikipedia page for it is not mere promotion, but sharing information. The TTCSP and its director, Dr. James McGann, are well-known in among academic circles in the world of international relations. It conducts important research on the role of think tanks and other organizations of the "fifth estate" in the creation of public policy and an informed public. We plan to add a description of the program, its aims, its history, a list of its publications, and references to it in the media. The program's website has yet to be published on the web, but once it is, we will cite the website for all information placed on this Wikipedia page.
We think this page would be useful in providing a home for a program responsible for very important work. I assure you our intentions are firmly in line with the goal of free-flowing information that Wikipedia holds in such high esteem. If there is anything else we can do to make this article more encyclopedic, please let us know.

The user User:Themaxviwe pretty new(less than 3 month old to wiki) he doesn't even know that he can remove the promo tag as per Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion please see his talk page. I again request you to reconsider and revert this page, as this list only contains list of names nothing more than that, there is nothing more than that on that list which can be considered as promo/adv.

Hi Fastily,
You recently deleted an image indicating that there is no record of permissions. However, I did receive permissions from the copyright holder and forwarded it to Wikipedia. Permission was granted through an email granting permissions for the head shot as well as the image of the logo used in the article. I just contacted the copyright holder again and requested them to send permissions to Wikipedia. Once that is done, can the image be restored? Or do I have to re-upload the image under a different file name? Please advise me in the appropriate course of action. Thank you. Strohlnco (talk) 15:53, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi there Fastily. I really hate to be "that guy", but I missed the fact that NaSHA had been prodded right up until you deleted it a few minutes ago. Do you mind reversing the prod? This hash function was accepted into the NIST hash function competition, and I believe that discussion of the hash function in relation to that competition establishes notability, despite the fact that it also established that the hash function in question shouldn't be used. Compare FEAL, for example - a completely broken cipher design that is extremely notable because it is frequently discussed as the standard example of a broken cipher design. If you or the editor who nominated it for prod want to take this right to AfD, that's fine, but it should receive more consideration than an automated prod. My apologies for not previously noticing that it was tagged, and thanks for reading. — Gavia immer (talk) 00:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

You recently deleted File talk:PortageLakeLiftBridge.jpg. I've recreated the page, but once again, I remind you that your deletion reason is not supported by policy. You cited G8 to delete it, but from that policy, with the applicable section emphasized:
G8. Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page, such as talk pages with no corresponding subject page; subpages with no parent page; image pages without a corresponding image; redirects to invalid targets, such as nonexistent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles; and categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates. This excludes any page that is useful to the project, and in particular: deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere, user talk pages, talk page archives, plausible redirects that can be changed to valid targets, and image pages or talk pages for images that exist on Wikimedia Commons. Exceptions may be sign-posted with the template ((G8-exempt)).
Do I really need to spam that template to ALL of the talk pages to get you to stop deleting the project tags from images used in Michigan highway articles? I mentioned this a month ago, discussion of which is now logged at User talk:Fastily/Archive 4#Project tagging. Please let me know what we need to do going forward.

About a month ago you deleted File talk:Unix history-simple.svg as the talk page of a deleted file. The issue is that the file was deleted in favor of a successor file at File:Unix history-simple.en.svg, whose talk page simply points to the now-deleted old talk page. Presumably the old talk page contained information on the resources used to make the chart, the decisions of which versions to include, etc. As that info is still valid for the newer version of the file, I was hoping that you or another admin can rescue the content from the deleted talk page and place it on the talk page of the newer file.

Hello Fastily,
This evening I spent a significant amount of time submitting an article to Wikipedia for Robert (Bob) Turner for Congress and it appears that you have rejected the article. Can you please advise me on what grounds this article is being rejected? If there was some content (personal quote??) that you thought needed to be removed, that is understandable, however, this is a legitimate entry. Robert Turner, Republican Candidate, is running against Democrat, Anthony Weiner, for the 9th Congressional District (Queens and Brooklyn) this coming November.
Can you please advise me on what I need to do in order to have this entry listed correctly on Wikipedia. If you wish to speak to him directly to confirm any of this information I would be happy to put you in touch with him. You can also reference his website www.bobturnerforcongress.com as the information provided is consistent with what has already been disseminated to the public.

Fastily, you removed another of my files, for which I obtained permission. Yes, I did "follow the instructions at WP:PERMISSION and WP:DCP? [I did] include the local file name and the license the file is to be licensed under." What is your problem with my submission? I spent a lot of time following your directions for obtaining permission. I am protesting your removal, since you appear to have deleted File:KDAQ facilities.jpg without justification. Did you check the email of --permissions-en@wikimedia.org--? I sent them a copy of my email with the permission. I quote the author: Email Redacted In case you were wondering, the "photo of the proposed facility" she mentioned was a completely different photo. All you have to do is go to the link I gave for this photo and see which one she means. She was allowing my photo called File:KDAQ facilities.jpg. I even went to the trouble of using the exact template you suggest on Wikipedia for obtaining said permission. I am really getting discouraged here. :-( Skol fir (talk) 04:31, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
Email redacted
- Hi there. Has he explicitly said which free license to use? A simple "You can use this image" is not enough, unfortunately. Commons:Email templates gives some insight about how to get the proper permission from the author.
- The usual procedure is usually one of two: the copyright owner of the image sends an email like the one I pointed at to the address point there, with the image attached, and a OTRS guy will upload it after certifying the mail. Or you can upload the image yourself, and then forward the email you got to the OTRS (the email address found there) stating the image you have uploaded (both the name of the image in the site and the link to the image you have uploaded), and a OTRS guy will slap a tag verifying the image is indeed free. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 15:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Bronco Engineering.png. 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.

This is not "all hell breaking loose", but a just another voice who respectfully disagrees with the action taken against Threeafterthree (talk · contribs). Although the editor is not without controversy, he also has a long history of constructive contributions. The deletions in question were all done with stated reasons relating to WP:RS, WP:Undue, and WP:Forum. While I do not necessarily agree with the actions, they do seem to stem from this editor's tendency to interpret and apply these guidelines more strictly than other editors, which is not always a bad thing - especially for BLP articles. I also saw this as a content dispute, and don't believe blocks should be used to resolve such issues. This is why I initially declined the block request, although I probably should have expanded on my reasons at the time. The request had been pending for close to an hour, so I suspect it may have been reviewed by other admins who took no action. As to whether editor's actions are a violate policy, represent a biased application of the guidelines, or are disruptive in general, I think this is a question that deserves the attention of more than one or two opinions. I think a summary judgment and indefinite block was premature.

Hi! I see you recently temporarily blocked 82.1.229.0 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) for vandalism. Alas, the user at this IP address still seems to be making unconstructive edits without regard to WP policy on reliable sources, original research, encyclopedic tone etc. and doesn't appear to be willing to engage in debate with other users. Perhaps some further sanctions are warranted? Letdorf (talk) 12:07, 18 June 2010 (UTC).
It seems you misunderstood me here. I don't think I should have been blocked for removing negative information from the Tony Abbott article, a high-profile BLP which gets a lot of contentious edits. Because I am an experienced editor, a caution would have sufficed. What I plan on challenging is the comment by User:Orderinchaos (in the collapsed discussion at Talk:Tony Abbott#Budget Reply 2010) that the ABC Television program Lateline is automatically a reliable source because it is produced by the ABC, which was used as a pretext for the block.

Dear Fastily,
You deleted Rizespor.jpg, was added by me. It was used by Rizespor after changing their colors from yellow-green to blue-green between 1968 and 1990. It was replaced with current one due to changing their name was Çaykur Rizespor before starting 1990-91 season after Çaykur's sponsorship is begun.

Hello Fastily,
I work at Symantec and responsible for our Veritas Operations Services application. We had a Wikipedia entry up until June 17th but it looks like you removed it due to an assessment of the written text.
Can you help me understand the specific reasons for its removal? I want to be sure we rewrite it more appropriately for the Wikipedia site. Also, would it be possible to get the latest version of the text that you removed so we can better understand what information was offending. I have an older copy but I'm not sure if I have the most recent information.
Thank you.

I'm kind of perplexed why a totally revamped and fully-cited article was deleted, especially since it's as notable a release as so many other video games, such as Halo 3 or New Super Mario Bros. Wii. I agree that as it was created the article was a shambles, but it was rescuable, and I do honestly believe I had rescued it with plenty of reliable third-party sources. Any insight would be most appreciated. Thanks. --McDoobAU93 (talk) 13:36, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi Fastily! You have send me this message:
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Republic of Ragusa. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.
I apologies if you have seen my edits as an act of edit war. I just reverted "Sock" two times on the article Republic of Ragusa, after excessive IP vandalism and sock activity on that page. Regards, Kebeta (talk) 18:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC).

Firstly, I apologise if it appeared as advertising, upon receiving a notice it was marked for speedy deletion, I did my best to modify the article to make it more encyclopedic. There are many other articles regarding other international competitions (World Pyro Olympics, Clebration of Light), which I based my article on.

Hi,
It appears you have decided to delete the article I have created on Sustainable Event Management. Something about PROD which I have searched and have no idea what that means.
Something also about COATRACK, which I think means that you, or whoever decided that COATRACK applies, thinks that Sustainable Event Management is not a significantly different subject, say to Event Management or Sustainability. I can't believe that is the reason and if I have got that wrong please explain how COATRACK applies?
Obviously I have a lot to say on that matter.
The reason I set this wiki up, was that in my various positions in this industry, I was preparing to advise the international community of sustainable event professionals that the wiki is up and that they should contribute. I really don't want to have to go through and do all that work again.
If the reason for its deletion was not content based, then could you please tell me exactly (rather than in Wiki code) what the problem is and how to address it?
We will be having a wiki on Sustainable Event Management and I want to try and prevent having to repeat all the work I already did in writing this article.
Thanks

Fastily, why did you remove the "NX (software)" page?
The page has been updated by multiple users over time and gives quite a nice description of the product.
If you think that there are some inappropriate bits, let us know and someone in the community will fix them up. But Deleting the page completely is a bit harsh.
There are many other pages for software similar to NX that are still up (and the NX page read less like an ad) CATIA, PROE, etc...

I've looked at it and asked a few other admins (3) to as well. We all agreed that the article does not meet G11, although - IMO anyway - is is of questionable notability. The article has only two sentences and an infobox. The second sentence and the beginning of the first are entirely factual. The second half of the first sentence does seem to have POV wording. However that doesn't make the article an advertisement, and definitely not unambiguously so. There is no reason to throw out an entire article because part of one sentence is wording promotionally - that would definitely be a situation where collaborative editing can improve the article. For the notability concerns that isn't a CSD, a PROD or AfD situation. Looking at this article's history, the article was proposed for deletion, but the tag removed. That the CSD tags were added by the same person who added the prod tag should have been a red flag for you. I'm going to go ahead and restore the article. Prodego talk 05:56, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi - you've tagged an image I uploaded as having no free use rationale. I went through what I thought was the correct process - see media copyright questions thread here. I had added what I thought was a sufficient rationale:
"This picture is uploaded to illustrate the eponymous "Lofty Large" article. As subject is dead no other alternative fair use image is available, image is encyclopedic, i.e. not defamatory or inappropriate, no commercial considerations exist that I'm aware of, image has been previously published (1987)."
If this is inadequate, please can you advise on what else I should be doing, as I'm afraid I find the whole issue of image use/copyright/fair use pretty baffling. Arthur Holland (talk) 08:37, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello. I believe there was an error in the BlazeDVD creation protection request. The request is now marked as "fulfilled", but no action has been taken. You said "User(s) blocked", but Haiyangzhai is not blocked, as you can see from his log. Haiyangzhai was blocked on June 2, but only for 24 hours, and that block was not relevant to this protection request from 26 June. He was blocked for removing the deletion template from the BlazeVideo (not BlazeDVD) article ([126]). He was repeatedly recreating the BlazeDVD article after his block expired. The BlazeVideo article has been creation protected ([127]), but the BlazeDVD article is not creation protected ([128]), and the user is not blocked, so nothing stops him from recreating it yet again.—J.

Hi - I see you have deleted the How (greeting) article, following a PROD, your stated reason being 'Unencyclopaedic Controversial'.
The article acknowledged that the assumption or pretense that Native Americans historically greeted each other in that fashion was likely to be considered controversial or at least childish, but surely that does not make the Wiki article itself controversial? The article gave an interesting historical reference, and could have been usefully supported, I agree, with additional references to, e.g., [129]
As to being unencyclopaedic, I would note that, for instance, the Italian greeting Ciao has an extensive article and a link to the Wiktionary; so it seems that greetings aren't unencyclopaedic per se.
Indeed, for completeness, I would suggest the How (greeting) article should be required within Wiki, rather than deleted.
I'm afraid I missed the 7 day PROD - would you please reinstate the article? I would be happy to edit and add additional links to e.g. the article Hello.

Hi Fastily. You recently deleted the draft article User:Vamsintl/Visual Arts and Music for Society International. I was just wondering if you had specific justification for doing so since we typed up a lengthy defense of the article. We feel strongly that it is not unambiguous advertising and is simply informing others of the purpose of the organization, similar to the sites for other charity nonprofit organizations. Also, since this was just a draft article it was still in development it is unfair to simply delete it. Could you offer some commentary on how this article falls under the category of "unambiguous advertising or promotion" so that we can see your justification for deletion? We would also appreciate if you could restore the draft article so that we could make changes and continue to work on it. It is a little harsh to immediately delete a draft of an article instead of offering commentary on how it could be fixed. Thanks! Vamsintl (talk) 01:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Fastily
It was brought to my attention this afternoon that an article called 'The Jolly Pilgrim' had been created on Wikipedia. I went to the article and noted that it was not written in an appropriate - i.e. neutral and encyclopedic - manner, and that there was a note from yourself pointing this out. I then moved to correct this myself by creating an account in order to re-write the article. However, by the time I had created the log in the article had been deleted. Are you able to allow me to re-write the article in an appropriate manner, which you can then check for appropriateness? Otherwise I can create it from scratch and you can check it that way? I am very familiar with Wikipedia's conventions and will be able to draft the article in a way that conforms to them. My new log in name is 'stylemanual'.
Please advise.

The company is totally NN, has been open less than a year, doesn't appear to have done very much at all, and I'm now torn as to whether I should CSD again under A7/Company or place it up for AFD. Your input would be appreciated. BarkingFish Talk to me | My contributions 15:59, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
A few days ago, I requested that this image be deleted: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:LUwithShield-CMYK.svg
I am responding to your decision to undo my request. The reason for my request is that the image was taken from a secure area of the Lehigh University web site, modified (part of the logo and the TM symbol were removed), and uploaded to Wikipedia. Lehigh does not allow anyone to reproduce or modify its trademarked images without permission, so on those grounds this logo should be deleted from Wikipedia. Please advise on this situation. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Les306 (talk • contribs) 21:24, 29 June 2010 (UTC)
Please explain.
[130] This file is up for deletion per WP:CSD. using TW
Please explain WHY "This file is up for deletion per WP:CSD."
The tag you added says: "This file does not have information on its copyright status."
That statement is false.
Awaiting your reply. Pdfpdf (talk) 13:10, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
I posted a comment about this editor a little way above here, but I note that you are busy in real life and not always here. In your absence, after careful consideration of this user's edits and my talkpage interaction with him I have decided to unblock him. I seriously hope that you will not see this as wheel-warring, but please feel free to complain if it seems appropriate. I hope it does not. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 19:54, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
