deletion of images (Marcos,arco1,Marcos2)
hi, I just now found out that certain images (MarcoMarcos2, Marco1 )have been deleted you,from the discussion page. I would like to inform you that those images are genuine. Reagrding copyrights, I would like to tell that those were taken by me & and another of my collegue and subsequently sold the undeveloped the reel to the person,who has uploaded it.So, I think there should be no dispute regarding ownership of the images. The contributer (ultrastealth ) is free to upload the above mentioned images. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sindhusastra (talk • contribs) 04:53, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

We are primarily an encyclopedia. Of necessity we form a community to assist in the building of the encyclopedia, but we shouldn't let the internet community attitude over-rule our primary objective. I clicked on all three of those links expecting a serious discussion. That simply wasted my time and irked me. That is non-productive, and reduces the value of what is an important asset to the project. If there are objections to a practical joke, those objections need to be listened to, not over-ridden. There are enough jokes taking place on Wikipedia today without abusing a valued asset to serious discussion. If you continue to feel that Cent should be used for practical jokes, perhaps we should open a discussion on the matter on the talkpage. In the meantime I feel the safe option would be to remove the jokes. If the consensus on the discussion is to include the jokes (or one of them, if not all three), then the jokes can be replaced.

I haven't a clue where to put this, so I'm putting it here. I'm confused to heck by the various instructions and it's very offputting, especially as you say you don't follow threads on other people's talk pages. It's one thing that you're clearly prepared to suffer idiots like me putting messages in the wrong place, but you're actually deterring people communicating with you in the first place, which really goes against the whole ethos of Wikipedia. --Dweller (talk) 12:46, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. :) A contributor at my talk page, doing an FAC review, wants to know if a fair use rationale for an artist's rendition of a concept ship is workable, since it is replaceable. It seems to me that he has good reason for his misgivings, but I haven't had a lot to do with fair use. Would you mind weighing in at User talk:Moonriddengirl#Question on an FAC? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi Stifle, could you check if ticket #2321205 is meant for all screenshots of the Acid2 test, or just for specific screen captures? The screenshots in question are in Acid2 (examples for quick reference: File:Acid2 reference.png, File:Ie7acid2.png, File:Acid2iPod.png, etc). I have raised the question of the ticket in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Acid2. Thank you. Jappalang (talk) 01:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Dear Stifle, as you can see with this, I have figured out how to transwiki. Thus, I only need help with deleted articles as I should be able to transwiki the redirected ones that still have edit histories. I hope you are having an enjoyable vacation! Best, --A NobodyMy talk 18:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Hope you enjoyed it. :) I now strongly suspect that OTRS would not survive without you. I don't remember who directed me to the pie chart of active contributors there or even when and I certainly don't remember how to get back to it, but I know I boggled when I saw how huge a portion of the pie belonged to you! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:12, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

It appears that you have a template call in your signature; this isn't allowed for performance and other reasons. Please kindly amend it. Stifle (talk) 11:11, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I thought the speedy deletion template started the 7-day grace period, and that that was only relevant to admins. Is there some other template which I should've used? I'd've thought the speedy template would link to such a thing. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 17:25, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't understand your beef with the Herold Goulon page. Deletion review deals with disputed deletions and disputed decisions made in deletion-related discussions and speedy deletions. Herold Goulon's supposed earlier page was rightfully deleted because he didn't make any professional appearances, so there was nothing to dispute. When he made his professional debut, I created his page (to be honest, I didn't know he already had a page that was deleted). —Preceding unsigned comment added by TK Extra555 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 8 April 2009

Hi Stifle, you declined speedy deletion of that redirect. It is unnecessary because when you type 'Emma watson' in the search field, the right article will be found automatically, nomater if that redirect exists. Maybe you could delete it. --Myself488 (talk) 16:39, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Dear Administrator Stifle: Just a quick note to thank you for your kind remarks regarding the deletion review of this photograph. As per your request I have identified the photographer on the Deletion review/Active page. In addition I have attempted to address the concerns of User:Damiens.rf which were raised on the same page. I hope that these insights coupled with the newly observed fact that the image contains a logo (Atlas) which is copyrighted and serves as a trade mark, might expedite the undeletion process and justify the use of the copyright tag for the photograph. Thank you once again for your kindness and best wishes for the holiday season.--Pjs012915 (talk) 19:30, 9 April 2009 (UTC)User:pjs012915
Dear Administrator Stifle- Just a quick note to thank you for your insights regarding my deletion review request of this photograph File:John-Serry-Sr.gif. As per you request I have researched and identified the photographer on the Deletion Review page for April 7, 2009. In addition, I have attempted to address the concerns raised by User:Damiens.rf and cited new information concerning the presence of a logo (Atlas) on the instrument which serves as a trademark and is copyrighted. With this in mind, I hope that the photograph can be undeleted by an administator in the near future and restored to the parent article John Serry, Sr.. As an inexperienced contributor to Wikipedia I remain grateful for your kind assistance. Best wishes for the holiday season and thanks again for your thoughtful insights--Pjs012915 (talk) 20:00, 9 April 2009 (UTC)User:pjs012915!
Dear Stifle,
Thanks for the rollback rights. It will help combat vandalism which I think Mr. Wales has noted is one of the biggest problems within Wikipedia. As for the deletion codes, I'm generally used to the one I'm using right now. Secondly, I only tag the most obviously unencyclopedic or useless images. I have seen some images which are orphaned or of unnotable people but have not filed a DR. I'll master your new DR system after the coming Holy week. I'm just not used to it at present and have to prepare for the Holy week events at church in Canada. Thank You, --Leoboudv (talk) 20:22, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
Stifle- In discussion you were informed from another administator that the five images you tagged are probably mine. The first one of the five was deleted. 72 Vega Kammback..(the green vega wagon) Reason for deletion says...magazine scan, and your reason was I just scanned it. from where? The photograph was scanned. It was taken in front of my grandfathers house in 1973. (The magazine scan was the non-free image-73 Vega GT #0 and was deleted.) I'll get permission from car and driver to keep that one... I guess I have to show you...then maybe we can stop these tags on my free images. Please go to Chevrolet Vega 1970-1977-the two green vega wagons. Check the licence plate on the lower photo (that's me in 1974) and the top photo (taken in 1973) The top photo is the deleted one from the article. Same licence plate number. Do you still think I just scanned the image?..these are my photos, some of which are 30+ years old. Please stop tagging my free images. Please allow the deleted image to stay.
Also other images marked for deletion- the 76 cosworth was my car-I took and kept many photos of this one from 1985-1988..plates match on all these photos. The 74 Vega GT was also my grandfathers (have other photos of it taken in 1975 in front of the same house as the green Vega- licence plates match as well on other photos of this car)the 75 cosworth belongs to a friend and i took the photo last year at his house. The 71 Vega is my car..took many digital photos of it last year in front of my house. You can find them on Cars Domain.com with my name on the page. (go to external links in Chevrolet Vega select millionth vega blog.) In the blog my name is mentioned I own the 71 Panel and there is a link to see the photos of the car on Cars Domain. Vegavairbob/Robert Spinello is listed as the owner-that's me..I took the photos. two of those photos are also in this article and one you marked for deletion. These are all my photos. One of the reasons I'm still into these cars after all these years is because I was very close to my Grandfather,(he died in 1976) that's why I'm sentimental about his two Vegas in the article-You have the other one up for deletion as well the 74 vega GT. I have matching plate photos of that car as well...Can we please stop the tags on the free images? If file says I took the photo... I took the photo. Now you have proof the deleted one is my photo I took, and the other free images (my old photograhs I took, and newer digital photos i took) are mine as well. Thanks.

At http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Files_for_deletion/2009_April_10#Heart1973_BC.png, you have said this picture fails 3a, but you don't explain why or how it fails. As you have placed your statement immediately after an explanation of why it satisfies 3a, I would find it useful to know what it is about that explanation that you believe to be incorrect. I would also find it useful to know why you believe it fails. With thanks in anticipation of your explanation, Pdfpdf (talk) 16:03, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, experienced image admin. :) Would you have a chance to look into a matter concerning a problematic image uploader at the copyright cleanup talk page? The uploader has definitely placed content on here from various other websites, including uploading a postcard. He has been warned in the past, but may have language issues. The problem is that a lot of the images he's uploaded have "metadata" from different cameras: four different cameras used for images uploaded yesterday; six if we incorporate the last several months. I don't quite know what to do with this one. As usual, if it's not a good time, let me know, and I'll harass somebody else. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi there,
I'm enquiring regarding the deletion of the page Jonny Palmer. He is a broadcaster in Birmingham, UK broadcasting the traffic and travel news on BBC local radio and commercial radio. He is known particularly for his humourous on air attitude which was reflected in the article. I am a contributor to the BBC wiki articles, and it is on my to-do list to link his page with the stations he is actively a presenter on.
I would like to request that this page is restored on the basis of it being accurate and certainly notable as a well respected and trusted voice on UK radio.

Re [2], I realized I cut and pasted the wrong rationale. The current one may still fail a reasonable test, but let me know what you think.

Hello,could i please just tell you that i have been on wikipedia with my friend who recently quit for 2 years.I decided to make my own account. i have a great experience and i request the ability of an administrator.BF153 (talk) 07:40, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi boss. As you probably don't remember, next month, I will have been an administrator for around a year. You opposed me during the course of my RfA, and now I have come to exact my revenge, Bwuhahahaha! I was rather hoping you might pass comment on how you think I'm doing. This probably sounds rather indulgent, but it's like a very focussed Editor Review, trying to work out if I've allayed fears etc. and I'll be asking a few other people for this opinion as well.
I'm rather hopeful of a positive reply, admittedly, but I will take negatives into account - severe enough, and I'll hand in my tools! In admin terms, I've been involved in a little DR here and there, and in the domain of deletions so that should provide some interesting material for you! Hope you can help.

Hi. What is the WP:NFC when an image of a living person is used to represent a fictional character, ala File:Liam Connor CS.jpg? I know that living people are not supposed to be used in non-free images, except in limited circumstances.

Hi. I've listed two deleted articles at Wikipedia:Deletion_review, following the discussion on "lists of unusual things" which took place earlier in the year. As a contributor to that discussion, you might be interested in expressing an opinion on whether the two deleted articles should be restored. SP-KP (talk) 15:40, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello. Regarding your recent minor edit to The Amazing Race, while it is not worthy of being reverted, I have to strongly disagree with your reasoning.

Hi there. The image File:Moroteuthis robusta.jpg was deleted due to a misunderstanding. I meant the old version of this image (under the same name) should be deleted, but I !voted to keep the newly uploaded version.

Hi. I see that you're busy, but if you get a minute there's a strange permissions issue that could use knowledgeable image admin/OTRS permissions queue eyes. Recently minted admin User:Toon05 points out on my talk page that File:NadineVelazquez1.jpg may have a "provisional" GFDL. Ultimately, the subject seems to accept our straightforward GFDL. Of course, thee's no OTRS ticket, but given how scrupulously the uploader documented the chain of communication, I don't doubt that he would still have those for logging if necessary. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:25, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
I posted a question about your deletion proposal here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/File:PrincessLeiasThemeSnippet.jpg

Hi Stifle, I tried to register a volunteer accoutn at ACC but rejected due to lack of experience. If I want to apply again in the future, what should I do?

Thank you for your post, some time ago about the Whadjuk map. It would be difficult for anyone to have copywrite on this map as it was traced and then redrawn using Powerpoint polygons (hand-drawn by me) copying a public domain base map of Western Australia. I then added the colour of the Polygons and saved the file to a jpeg format before uploading it to Wikipedia. The publications I made use of for the sources was a 1979 150th Anniversary Atlas of Human Endeavour, produced by Western Australian Government Print, and a South Australian map produced by Tindale in the 1930s. To get the map restored can you help? Thany thanks. John D. Croft (talk) 18:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Somebody has posted a question about permissions for Commons at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights#Permissions Letter. I've only undertaken very straightforward Commons issues.

Hey Stifle. Since you're both active and knowledgeable in our image policies, I thought I'd let you know about a new project (combining several inactive projects and breathing new life into the amalgamation) at Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media.

Hello Stifle,
The Blockland article which is at AFD was listed for Speedy deletion by you for A7. The A7 tag can not be used for software, and since Blockland is an online game it is considered software. The admin did decline the speedy. The AFD is still on-going. Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 01:16, 25 April 2009 (UTC)--gordonrox24
The article has a terrible WP:NPOV issue. All the editors are users of the game, and are beginning to turn it into an advertisement.--gordonrox24 (talk) 21:34, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
I just closed this as "keep". Even with the SPAs, the assumptions of bad faith, and the NPOV problems on the article itself, the declined A7 was the only argument for deletion besides the nomination. I would suggest waiting a few months and if the article doesn't improve, try again. I particularly didn't like the charge that the nomination was initiated by a rival game. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:28, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
